Happy Easter, Robin & Happy Easter to all! Thank you for the reminder to read more C.S. Lewis. I keep telling myself to read more of his books. I've read a few of the Narnia books, which I love, but not all, and not any of his books for adults. I read Diary of a Mad Diva - 3 Stars - This was funny and offensive, not offensive to me, but I know that most would not like it at all. It wasn’t as good as the other book I’ve read by her – “I Hate Everyone Starting with Me†(which I would also not recommend to everyone). MY RATING SYSTEM 5 Stars Fantastic, couldn't put it down 4 Stars Really Good 3 Stars Enjoyable 2 Stars Just Okay – nothing to write home about 1 Star Rubbish – waste of my money and time. Few books make it to this level, since I usually give up on them if they’re that bad. My GoodReads page if anyone's interested in adding me as a friend.

Even though I woke up late, I will soon be doing the 5 Miles and the Classical Stretch that I had hoped to do yesterday.

I agree about the neck aging thing. Taking a before photo sounds like a great idea. I hadn't thought of that. I agree! Happy wrinkles/smile lines are wonderful. :)

New thread. Please post your workouts here. Everyone welcome. :)

Posting to say that it seems quite unlikely that I'll get to exercise today. I'll consider it a day of rest. It'll be a lazy day of marathon Turkish soap opera watching with dh and my mom. The three of us are seriously hooked on this particular series that's based on a true story. I spent all day yesterday cooking, so I need this break!

Late start this morning, but I do plan on doing 5 Miles of Leslie & then a Classical Stretch routine: Strengthen Your Spine & Flatten Your Abs.

About to do 5 Miles of Leslie.

Got lots of sleep last night, so no time to workout this morning. I hope to do something later today.

About to soon do Leslie's 4 Fast Miles.

:grouphug: Which cream are you using? Emerita? I need to remember to use mine more regularly. I've been a bit neglectful. :grouphug: Migraines are awful. I had a horrible one last week.

Lovely to see some new posters here. Welcome! :) About to do some rebounding. I'm tired, but can't seem to fall asleep anymore. Rebounding always energizes me.

Me too. I think I once read in "Honey for a Child's Heart" or maybe it was a C.S. Lewis quote or something, that books such as these often appeal to adults, but really don't appeal to most children. I never liked The Giving Tree at all. The Rainbow Fish ... I could take it or leave it. My dc never cared for any of these.

I never liked it and yes, I do think it's creepy.

I thought of doing them, but have chosen not to. I used to be an esthetician and they discouraged it. This article may be of interest. Paula Begoun doesn't recommend them either. I emailed them about it and they said not to do them. There might be an article on their site as well. I try to massage my face every few days, sometimes daily, it all depends on how much time I have. I'm older than you by a few years. Skin care fascinates me and I love threads like this. :) I'm very interested in what others have to say. Many swear by facial exercises.

Will soon be doing Leslie's 4 Mile Super Challenge - the second workout DVD I ever got and one of my favorites of hers.

Hornblower, I meant to thank you. I love Paula and respect all that she has to say when it comes to beauty and skin care. Thanks for the link. Thanks for the reminder re: photo shopped images. The Touche Eclat concealer that I currently use (although I don't use it often enough) comes with its own brush. Hadn't thought of using a brush with other concealers. That's helpful. Now I simply can't wait to head to a MAC counter on our next trip!

I read The Hiding Place - 4 Stars. Although this book had a bit of a slow start, it was truly uplifting. Reading stories like this inspire me to improve myself. MY RATING SYSTEM 5 Stars Fantastic, couldn't put it down 4 Stars Really Good 3 Stars Enjoyable 2 Stars Just Okay – nothing to write home about 1 Star Rubbish – waste of my money and time.

Kareni, I love these! And yes that sink is great. I had friends who stayed at the Sylvia Beach Hotel in Oregon.

About to do Leslie's 4 Fast Miles. I'm so happy to see that you posted before I did! Also happy to hear that your progesterone worked. I use Emerita from time to time, but need to use it more consistently. I'm not sure if it's made any major difference. Which yoga DVD are you doing?

Again, thank you all so much. :) Thanks for your helpful tips. Suzanne, how long did the results last? I could try that. Glasses are great! :D I need to look into that next time we travel. For now, I have YSL Touche Eclat, which also has fabulous reviews. I'm happy with it (I think). Could be, but mine are worse than my mom's. She barely has any. Mind you, she sleeps like a log and I don't.
