    Strangefox – Yep, that’s the pole warmer! I wannntttt! Also, I suffer from SAD too, so I feel you. It absolutely sucks. Right now the sun starts to come up around 10 and it starts going down at 2. It’s only 2:50pm right now and already almost dusk. 🙁 Where do you live if you don’t mind me asking? Doing floorowork/burlesque style dancing after a warmup is a good idea. I always intend to do it, but I am so intimidated by floor work, I don’t know where to start and I end up just standing there lol.

    LatinPoler – Tell me more about sticky pole clothes! I didn’t know such a thing existed!! Which brands sell them?

    Veena – You would hate it here, it is so cold haha! Although I was in Vegas this past summer and it was +47C or something crazy like that and I nearly died. I couldn’t even hang by the pool it was so hot. I don’t know how you do it!

    Lmao dustbunny! I live in the Yukon, so not quite the North Pole but pretty close I suppose 😉 This week has been in the -15 range which is quite nice. Last year got to -50 though, so I feel like I shouldn’t really complain about -35 lol

    Goat on a Pole – I am glad you’re loving your pole warmer! It’s on my Christmas list this year so I have my fingers crossed Santa will bring me one 😉 I have been thinking about setting up an IG account for pole, so maybe Veena’s xmas challenge is just the kick in the ass I need to finally do it!

    Thanks everyone!! I never thought of using a hoola hoop as a warmup but it sounds like an excellent idea. My garage is heated, so my pole eventually warms up, but it just seems to take my body (especially my legs) FOREVER to warm up so it will be nice to have a good warmup I can do with my sweatpants and big socks on! 🙂 🙂

    Thank you so much dancingmaddy!! Such a huge help!

    dustbunny – No kidding about Canada needing more suppliers! The cost of shipping is insane 🙁

    Thank you! And so true, it wasn’t as frightening as I thought it would be. I actually find the CKR to be way more scary, but I am only just starting to learn that one as well. Slowly but surely!

    Yay! Congrats!! I finally did my first (sloppy) invert last night too, so I’m right there with you. It’s an amazing feeling!
