Hey Holly,
I like to use both internal arnica, like the homeopathic pills that go under the tongue to be dissolved, and I make my own arinica oil and arnica balm that I can apply directly to the bruised area. I buy dried arnica online and then steep it with dried lavender in sunflower oil for 3-4 weeks. Then I filter it, and heat half of it with beeswax to make a thick balm that is better for use on dry skin. As opposed to the oil, which I normally use after a shower and my skin is slightly damp.

This sounds like an AWESOME oppportunity to talk some new women into trying pole dance! =)
Just don't go into your presentation thinking that people are judging you or that they are disapproving. You would be surprised by how many women have always secretly wanted to try it, or are totally supportive of it, especially the older mom aged crowd!
As for bringing up strippers/strip clubs/ calling it dance vs fitness.. I guess that is a personal choice. People in class asked if I was a stripper, I just laughed and said no. I just enjoy pole dancing. And thats that. (I mean, just because I have sex, it doesn't make me a porn star LOL!!) Explain that clothes must stay on in class. Whatever happens, just address it honestly and with good humor and then MOVE ON!
If I were you.. I would start off the presentation with some clips of some REALLY fantastic polers. Play them some jaw dropping, crazy beautiful pole dance and tricks. Any time I show non poling friends people like Jenyne, Fawnia, Veena, etc they are always stunned and enthusiastic. It's ok to show them what CAN be done.
Talk to them with joy, and express how great dancing feels, and helps the body in so many ways. You can emphasize not only the skill, and the strength, but also that you can take it at your own pace, and the confidence you gain with your yourself.
Finish off with some simpler spins and maybe even have some volunteers try it out?
Have cards or literature to hand out too! Remember, eye on the prize.. New potential POLERS!
Have fun and good luck girly!

A great vegan protein powder is made by Vega, myvega.com They also sell bars and sport protein powder. Love this stuff cause it has everything you need in one little scoop.
There is also a company called Pure, that sells raw organic fruit and nut bars, and they are to DIE for delicious!
I love snacks like sprouted nuts, bean dips, bean chips, etc. Check out a local health food store in your area. They usually have all kinds of delicious goodies.

I had SUCH a great time! Studio has PS stainless steel poles with spin and static, 45 and 50mm. Amazing! It’s decorated very cute, and they sell a wide variety of sexy shoes! Loves it!
We jammed out, Jenn gave me some helpful tips and advice for my classes. I will definitely hope to make it down here again. -
I am in San Antonio today, an oh so excited about my pole jam with Jennifer aka Tiffany IntimateSpins! Was so flustered this morning I showed up 45 min early by accident! Lol. The studio is discretely placed in a strip mall, and from what I could see when peering in the windows it looks very sexy and fun! Big red lips in a frame, dark red curtains. I will take plenty of pics and videos!!

Voted! Good luck girl!

yeah! I made my full length shoe video! I just posted it! This has been such a fun experience!

I agree.. I think there are definitely some creepers out here.. ugh. No matter where you go online, there's always bound to be one lurking. Unfortunate, but sad.

I highly reccomend a brand called TansAreNowSafe.com they offer custom airbrush tanning at salons and mobile. It always come out really natural looking. You can usually get a spray for $25 bucks or less. You can also buy a tan system (about a $200 investment) but if you split it with friends, you can all learn to spray each other and it's SUPER cheap if you can get a few peeps to throw in! A great option for college students, plus you could make some money on the side =)

So I've been off for a few days now, and searching through the new threads I realized Veena made the May challenge about SHOES! =) and she also made 2 really fabulous shoe videos! I've been filiming my 30 day challenge, and now I need to ass some close up shoe shots! So inspired, this is such a fabulous forum!

I know the SSA gets a lot of bad press, myself included on the customer service issues..
But I LOVE my SSA 50mm. It is STURDY as hell. The bottom base is HEAVY. It will not tip. Trust me, I'm no delicate flower, I and tried my best to knock that pole over. Wasn't going to happen.
I do have videos on here of the set up and use. It literally takes MINUTES to break down and set up. I actually have one in the trunk of my car right now, because I'm teaching an in home party tomorrow night!
The customer service was disappointing and kinda crappy. But in the end, they did get me all my parts. They only took 1 week longer than expected. They included a free DVD and a 2oz bottle of platinum grip aid (which I LOVE for the stainless steel) and they upgraded my platform to white rather than black wedges (and now I can put lights under it!). So I can't say that I haven't had worst service from other companies.
Anyway, thats just my 2 cents. Either way, hope you have a pole to enjoy soon!

I just did a 30 day cleanse and renew program. I used nature secret's Super Cleanse, along with probiotics, omega 3s, multivitamin, HGH supplement, Valerian root extract, Bach's Rescue Remedy, and drank BoltHouse Green Juice 2x a day.
Side note, I ate regular meals, just cut out all fast food, fried items, and tried to avoid eating much meat when I could. I am ok with doing cleanses, but they should be gentle on your body. I agree that there is no good reason to stop eating for 3 days while taking loads of pills. Very shocking to the system, and generally any weight lost is just water weight.

Hey RuneMist,
I have a unique perspective.. I have a tattoo on my right inner wrist, it is about 2 inches wide, 1 inch tall. It is a latin phrase that has a special meaning to me. I work as a massage therapist, as a pole instructor, and I help out with front desk duties. I work with the public all day long basically, and very few people even NOTICE my tattoo!
I too, wanted something visible, but discrete. The lettering is easily covered with a watch or bracelet band if I feel the need, and generally when I shake hands my wrist is pointing downward and no one sees it. Heck, one of my boss's asked me when I got it (I've worked at this spa for a year!), and I was like.. uh 5 years ago? LOL. They hadn't ever noticed.
I also have a tiny tattoo of a heart on my left foot on my toe, and no one ever comments on it except when I get a pedicure, or am wearing super cute heels to show off said pedicure =)
So, there is a way to place tattoos visibly and yet subtle.
Now, I am considering doing a bigger forearm piece.. but I think I will wait a while. I plan to open my own business someday, and once I'm the boss, it's ON! 🙂
Corporate america does kinda suck, but I think as long as your tattoo isn't anything innappropriate (ie: naked people, violence, blood or gore, etc! lol) most employers are a lot more lax now. And of course, if worse comes to worse, you will have to invest in many cardigans for work!
Here's my best suggestion to you… Have what you want tatttooed drawn up, and then have a temporary copy (they use tracing paper with dye) put on you wherever you are thinking of getting tattooed. Wear it for a few days and see how you feel about it. Remember, bad tattoos are EXPENSIVE to laser off! lol. good luck!

I have had a Brazilian blowout done on my hair and I LOVED it! My hair was very damaged due to my love of bleaching and coloring, and it now feels super strong and healthy. I get compliments all the time now on how soft and shiny my hair is! My hair was pretty straight with some waviness to it, and while it is a little straighter it’s not perfectly flat ironed looking. Definitely got rid of my frizz though, the strands stay sleek!
Would reccomend this if you have damaged hair, not necessarily if you have curly hair and want it to be stick straight. It will only relax the curls, not
Kill them. 🙂
