Are fitness shoes the new rip-off?

Reebok calls it the EasyTone; Skechers, the ShapeUp. These curved-sole shoes, transforming people into human rocking chairs, cost up to $130 and promise to keep you fit even while grocery shopping.
During 2009 sales grew 14-fold to $245 million, estimates market researcher NPD. One problem: "They mostly affect the foot and ankle," says Dr. Michael Ross, director of Rothman Institute's Sports Performance Lab, which counts the Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies and Flyers among its clients. "There is no evidence they will help you tone better or quicker than a regular shoe."

just wrong

Not okay by my standards!

Is this just wrong or what?

on finding a husband...

"Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one's privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme."

If you have skin... you NEED Strivectin!

Although I don't usually spend lots of money on expensive creams, lotions and potions, I have to say that I had been dying to get this cream for the longest. Today, as my husband and I were looking for the perfect summer bicycle, my husband decided he was going to get me 'what I wanted' [meaning the cream]. Not only was I beyond surprised, I was excited because I knew if it wouldn't have been for him, I would have [probably] never bought it... I'm kinda cheap for these things, besides, who is going to guarantee me that the cream is actually going to work. Anyways, my sugardaddy bought the Strivectin cream for me. And while I kept reminding him of the 'ouchy' pricetag that comes with the brand name and the fact that I really didn't need it at the time, he whispered in my ear, "Babe, don't worry, I've got it". Is this sweet or what? I think it is.

I'm not going to lie, I am soooooo excited about having this cream! I have high expectations of it and I can't wait to start using it. According to the manufacturers, this is the Holy Grail of all creams and lotions designed for sculpting, lifting and tightening facial skin. It's meant to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crows' feet while accentuating the cheekbones and the jaw line. So, apparently this is the #&%!, and it is going to help me transform my entire facial contour [I don't know about that, but I am hopeful it's gonna make my skin look more youthful].

Well, today is going to be day one, let's see how this cream works... I'll keep you posted.

Law of attraction

Look for the gifts in everything, especially when you are facing what appears to be a negative situation. Everything that we attract causes us to grow, which means that ultimately everything is for our own good.
Adjusting to a new path and a new direction will require new qualities and strengths, and these
qualities are always exactly what we need to acquire in order to accomplish the great things ahead in our life.
