And I wasn't that impressed, either. My skin isn't that problematic, and I think that stuff is better for people with issues. I like my tinted moisturizer, better, and I'm sad to say that after spending about $100 on MAKEUP, I've only used the stuff once or twice. I even used tinted moisturizer in my sister's wedding, which was actually the event I used to validate my purchase.<BR/><BR/>As for workout videos, I haven't tried this but I've heard great things about it, and I'm optimistic about anything that teaches me to be sexier (because I'm a total NERD): Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease Collection.

I was never a make up person, but ever since I laid my hands on their products I've been hooked onto them....<BR/><BR/>Yay I'm glad you liked my suggestion. I love dancing as a form of exercise. There are a lot of videos out there, depends on what kind of booty shaking are you into.

The amount of people who believe their government leader should also be their religious warrior is head-bashingly staggering.

I'm a devoted Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer girl myself, and don't even get me started on her Secret Brightening Powder.<BR/><BR/>4. I listened to the caucuses (I heart XM Radio and their POTUS '08 channel). I agree that Huckabee seems untested. He's also anti-choice so I'd never vote for him, but his answer to Olbermann's question about what he thinks of "those who don't claim any faith" made me like the guy. <BR/><BR/>5. The City Ballet dance video is good (though yes, slow), but I don't think a ballet video is the way to go. Without knowing the technique, you wouldn't be using the muscles you're supposed to use and might not get the workout a dancer would get from it. Maybe the best comparison I could make is that throwing a ball is easy, but pitching is hard. The Yoga Booty Ballet thing has always seemed interesting to me, but I've never tried it. I'd start from the music. What makes you want to move? Salsa? Big Band? Top 40? House? If you find music that makes you want to shake your booty, you'll be more likely to enjoy the workout and stick with it.BShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00443151591518184608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-6086283403483075012008-01-04T11:29:00.000-07:002008-01-04T11:29:00.000-07:00I think you should just watch the movie Fame - it'...I think you should just watch the movie Fame - it's got all the dance moves you'll ever need.
