RE: Facial Moisturizer

How funny, I am using Neutrogena right now too! I have to find one for the summer with SPF. Last summer I used that orange glow moisturizer with SPF, and I didn't like it, it felt gritty on my skin, but it was very cheap. I'll let you know what I find.

RE: Facial Moisturizer

Almay Kinetin Age Decelerating Daily Lotion. It's SPF 15, and it's Non-Comedogenic. I'm not sure what that means....but I know it's good to use with Proactiv which was why I started using it in the first place. I don't really need an Age Defying anything yet....but I'm getting close...I'm past the 30 mark!!! ACK!!! ;) I like it....it works good, it smells good, and it doesn't leave you oily.

Umm I have to go get mine LOL Be right back! I use Aveeno. It is complexion clearing. I am not sure about the SPF. Sometimes you can find foundation with SPF in it though!

RE: Facial Moisturizer

I definitely need the SPF. Too many years in the sun and I haven't hit the 30 mark yet! I'm really close though. I'll have to check them out. Thanks!

RE: Good Books!

"Jemima J" by Jane Green. Completely a fiction novel but it somehow mirrors so many of our lives. Fat girl want to get skinny for hot guy. Gets skinny, decides that happiness is in being healthy and with the one you really love. I call it a "beach read". It's light and an easy read. I don't think it was meant to be, but it was kind of motivational for me to get healthy.

RE: Good Books!

I started reading this a while back but never finished it, the part I read was good. I like to read fantasy, to really escape from the world. I am reading an 11 part series by Terry Goodkind that is so good. I heard they are making it into a tv series next fall! It has everything in it romance, fantasy, magic, and is easy to read, the writing is fantastic! I don't know if you like those kind of books but I'm hooked, just finished the 5th one in the series and have six more to go.

RE: Good Books!

Have you read the Secret? I haven't but heard it was good, motivational. I did just read Eckart Tolle Awakening to your life's purpose, it was really deep and insightful, I plan on reading it again, it's the kind of book that every time you read it you learn something else about yourself.

RE: Good Books!

Somebody gave me a copy of the Secret CD so I'm going to try and listen to it, but I would like to get the book as well. I absolutely love the book called "Love Rosie" by Cecelia Ahern (author of P.S. I Love You, which is like the best movie ever by the way). It's a funny, witty, romantic book that I couldn't put down! At first I thought it was kind of weird because it's not in story form...it's a boy and a girl writing letters back and forth to each other. It starts when they're young and follows them throughout the years. They're best friends and every time they start to become something more, something gets in the way. It's a must read!

RE: Good Books!

OOOOhhhh....I'm an avid reader!! I constantly have a current book I'm reading. I could give you lots and lots of ideas...so I'll keep it brief. The Stephanie Plum series byt Janet Evanovich is awesome!! So, if you're looking for a good laugh...that's where to go. If you're looking for a sappy romance the Highlander series by Karen Marie Moning is great!! It sooooo makes you want to move to Scotland and find some Highlanders to sweep you off your feet. If you need a good cry you could go for "Tuesday's with Morrie" and "For One More Day" by Mitch Albom. Oh and "Good in Bed" by Jennifer Weiner was another really good book. Okay, I'll stop now :) I like this group!!!

RE: Good Books!

I just finished The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It was definatley a good read. I friend of mine read The Secret. I read a couple pages of it, but it isn't an actual book. LOL it is like a bunch of quotes and stuff, and that isn't really my thing. Also they never tell you the SECRET. What the heck? LOL I guess it depends on what you like! I also like A Series of Unfortunate Events Series by Lemony Snicket. I know they are children's books, kinda, but those things are soooooo good LOL.

Tuesdays with Morrie is on my to read book. I'm going shopping tomorrow, so I think I'm going to hit the bookstore. I try to make it more of a point to read; I love the escape of it. It's hard when you're in school and you know you should be reading other things though. Thanks for the recommendations. I'll let you know what I pick up!

I picked up 5 books today. I couldn't remember this list! I knew I wasn't feeling "Tuesdays with Morrie"; I need light stuff right now. I was going to pick up the Secret, but I couldn't remember who it was by. Next time i really need to write them down!

I used to set aside time each night before bed to read, but I've gotten off that since I've been so busy with lesson plans and school stuff. Only a couple of more weeks until school's out though, so I'll have more time to read again! Yaaa!

One of the books I picked up yesterday: The Lovely Bones. OK, I'm very tough skinned, but maybe I shouldn't have began reading it before I went to bed. I had a terrible night's sleep and terrible dreams! So far, it's a good read though, so I'll be finishing it.

I just picked up some books today. I'm so eager to read for FUN and not for school. I've started already. I just found this quote and thought..wow..how true. I really suggest people try reading The Alchemist with the golden cover...it's wonderful...definitely needs to be reread.

RE: Good Books!

I read The Lovely Bones a couple years back, Jennie. Has anyone ever read The Glass House? It's like a true story...kind of disturbing that a child had to grow up in that sort of environment. Back around Christmas I got some bargain books and I'm reading one right now called Hissy Fit. It's not bad, but I have a long way to go! Yaaa for books! I've been making myself read before bed now so I'm ready for bed! ~Sara :o)

Scirish

Posted at: 4:25 am December 13, 2009

RE: Good Books!

The Glass Castle is a great book! I cried so hard! Another good book is She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. It's about a girl who enters womanhood overweight and wants to change. It's not all about that though. The story of her life is really interesting and inspirational. Also, Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistlestop Cafe by Fannie Flagg is AMAZING... If you liked the movie, the book is even better! There are two stories, and at the end you feel empowered!

I don't have an Ipod, but I have an mp3 player. It's a Sandisk Sansa and I love it because it's small but holds a lot of songs. Plus, I bought an arm strap to use when I walk or work out at the gym. When I bought it last March it was on sale for like $209 and now it's like $140! I would definitely recommend getting one if you think you'd use it! ~Sara :o)

RE: Relaxing

When I relax I like to take the phone off the hook, take a bath then put on my most comfy PJs, don't do my hair or makeup.Then I line up my favorite books and movies, lay in bed with all remotes, food, drink, and everything I need so I never have to get up! Haha. I feel even better if I do a little workout before so I feel like I've earned it.

I am a NAIL girl! LOL! Call that the Long Island in me. I've always had nice nails and then I started covering them with acrylic. That is what made my nails paper thing. However, a really great diet and your vitamins is what makes them strong. If you can, take off your nails for awhile and let them see the sunlight of the summer...lots of vitamin d! I think you will be surprised with how healthy they start to become. Obviously, it will take time...but let the nails breathe. The only downfall...polish doesn't last long on real nails! DAMN!

I use Ultra Swim, but I don't really like it, so I'll try Paul Mitchell. I'm lost on a malibu treatment. What's that? My original hair color is med/dark brown that would get dark blond highlights in the sun. Now, thanks to a box, it's dark brown.
