Women's Health Workout DVD : Train for your Body Type

Today I have been feeling out of sync with my body.  Everything feels very unbalanced. If you are some one who is completely in-tuned with your body you'll understand what am talking about. I walked around the block several times to "shake off" the sense of uneasiness to no avail. So I came back indoors to do a light work out hoping that I'll feel better I love home DVD workouts. They are convenient and it feels like you have a personal trainer in your living room cheering you on. They are also good for guiding you through proper techniques so you don't get injured through bad form/posture. And sometimes, as much as you're motivated to workout at home, you need the company! I also love that this dvd breaks down the workouts by body type. There are 3 types listed in the dvd and I usually click on the "Curvy" option ^_^ . There is also an "athletic body" option but I feel like am between those 2 so my mood determines which ...

An African City SEASON 2

God said ASK and you shalt receive We whined. We begged. We summoned the spirits of our West African ancestors for Nana yaa's sake. And the gods of our fore fathers have delivered. AFRICAN CITY Season 2 is out . Here is the Link Don't wait to pirate it online. Support your sisters and their production crews. Filming isn't free and neither should your entertainment be. Even you tube has wised up and has started promoting YouTube RED, a paid subscription. That's how Hulu started. When I was in college, Hulu was free! yo. But that was 7 years ago before our economy hit code blue. It's only $20 and I know how much some of y'all spend on amazon or ebay or justfab or is it overstock.com? Go watch it, so we can Giiiiiiiisssst! on twitter @mapetitenice

Hiking and Cross Country Skiing in New Hampshire

Now that am safely tucked in the comfort of my warm home, ✓  Comfy blankets ✓ Heat panels ✓  Fuzzy Socks ✓ Hot Chocolate Irish Coffee  Let's talk about my trip to New Hampshire's White Mountains region  I haven't slept in a bunk bed since I left boarding school in Cameroon 15 years ago Winter time lodge chilling sounds cool until you feel the bitterness of the winter  A session on winter first Aid because SAFETY FIRST always Nature is extraordinarily beautiful when covered in snow flakes I learned a lot about myself on this trip. #1. With the right winter gear, I can actually fall in love with winter/cold sports #2. I'm tougher than I give myself credit #3 But I'm also not as tough as I like to think I am...I know.. contradictory #4 I am scared of intentionally falling . Being a soccer player/goalkeeper, I have no problem slide tackling or diving for a ball. BUT the ...

Product Review : CVS Pharmacy Cold & Hot Sore Muscle Spray

Dupe for Icy Hot Pain Relieving Balm To be honest, I haven't tried the icy hot version. I didn't feel the need to because this one works out well for me. I can't guarantee that you will have the same results . Active Ingredients □ 7.6% Menthol □ 29.0% Methyl Salicylate Uses □ Pain relief therapy for arthritis, bruises, cramps, backache, muscle strains and sprains How I used it I was experiencing back pain which I traced back to wearing the wrong shoes. I was also dealing with sore muscles from over training. And in general, I was working a job which required standing for long hours. I used the spray when I came home at the end of my day after a nice warm shower. It helped make the pain better for the next day. I will also take it to work and use periodically. The effect was immediate. And just like the name, first it's cold then it becomes hot and the sensation spreads around the region. Downside : It has a strong methyl scent and I dont feel like it ...
