Thanks JeHanne. I generally am not one to journal, but I will try it. Like I said, I am just so tired of being sore and having difficulty getting up from a chair or picking up my granddaughter because my muscles hurt.

You will LOVE Veena's lessons. She is so thorough in her directions. I really hope you can get to the splits. I am so far away from getting the splits and I figure it is because of my health problems but you have inspired me! I admire you for trying to do it even with the problems you have. I am sorry you had to go through that – especially at such a young age. I wish you the best of luck!

I am in my mid- 40s and although I havent had a broken hip, I do have some serious hip and joint problems. I am also one who doesn't listen to my body and I go far beyond what I should. I am working on getting my splits (still far from it though) and I have learned I need to be very careful. I make sure I am totally warmed up first. I stretch myself to the point of soreness – NOT PAIN!!! The next day I am sore but not terribly so. If I am having trouble walking, I know I overdid it.
You should absolutely not feel pain after you stretch. Do you get Veena's lessons? She has a fantastic splits stretch and you will learn a lot from her. She really explains things and lets you know how best to stretch. Good luck!

Rose1983, I have read that you should NOT ice the area first. You should take a warm bath or shower first and then use the epilator. warming the skin opens the pores and icing the skin closes the skin up so it is harder to pull the hair out.
Please note that I personally have not used an epilator but I am seriously considering it and I have read everything about the best/worst way to use one.

TansyRae, what a good idea about the closed captions! I never even thought about that. I will try it later on to see if it works. Thanks!

I bought both her stretching videos but I have only watched the 'Pure Splits' one. Although it was extremely well done, I have only watched it twice because the music – literally – gave me a headache (no offense to anyone who likes that kind of music, it just is not my "cup of tea"). I would love to get her new ones, but I don't want to spend all that money and find out that I can't stand the music on those either.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what are pole shoes?

Isn't it funny how people are different? I tried sugaring a handful of times and I don't think even one hair came out! I know it was done properly too – it just didn't work for me! I think I am going to try the emjoi. Hopefully, I will be one of the ones that it works for!

MalciousMynx – what brand to you have for your epilator?

Thanks so much LillyBilly. I will look into those!

Hey LillyBilly, thanks for the info on the cotton panty liners. Unfortunately, the web site is in a language that I do not know 🙁

Just wondering what you ended up thinking about the CLA? Do you think it helped?

Try looking on http://www.jacquardproducts.com (Note: I am not affiliated with them in any way). They have dyes for lots of different fabrics and they have info on their site for how to dye different products too. I have used their dyes on a few different occasions on different fabrics and I've always had great results. They are very helpful too if you want to talk to them directly.
Another place I've gotten dyes from is: (I am not affiliated with them either)
http://www.prochemicalanddye.com
Although they sell more different dyes and products than Jacquard, I think their website is a bit more informative and has easier directions. Just my opinion though
Good luck!

Thanks kliebowitz for all the suggestions. My skin so more pale than anyone I know so at least that part works in my favor!
Thanks for letting me know about the ingrown hairs and what helps to prevent them and thanks for all the other ideas. Unfortunately, Dr Kauvar is in New York and I am in Colorado – not exactly around the corner! I think my hubby would flip out https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif if I told him I am flying to New York to get some hair removed!
