Congrats!! Doesn’t it feel wonderful when you finally get something that has been plaguing you?
And yeah, pretty much that is how it goes. Some things you will get right away and some it will take months to get and then just one day BOOM.

It makes sense that a grippier pole is going to give you more callouses. All it takes is a little grip adjustment on your part. Part of it also may be the 45 for the exact same reason…if you learned on a larger and slipperier pole then you have gotten used to using your hands only in one way.

I love L-Theanine for days that are difficult for me to get through. I do not suffer daily but there are some days that life just seems overwhelming and I rely on this. It is what is in green tea that calms you. I recently have had some nasty things going on in my life and this was the only thing that got me through it, and I do not worry about nasty sides or becoming addicted.

Go an buy a thin nail and a hammer. Nail it in where you think a joist may be. If it goes in way too easy it is not a joist.
In the US joists are typically 24" apart and are about 1.5" wide.

On top of it you can run lights around the base and have your own light up "stage".

I do not have this on carpeting but I had it in my garage….I have a piece of wall paneling that was left over from a bathroom remodel. I basically had this but in silver….cost was $20 for a 4×8 panel

Hi there…yes, you will see quite a few faces from the other forum here (although HD is still missing).
Yes, you too, beautiful! Is happydance still around or did she quit? It’s so nice to see everyone migrating to the same place. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif
Happy is no longer on any of the forums that I know of but she is regularly on facebook and also she is Goddess Granny on Megs’ Makeup. -
I bought a Seiko Cleancut several years ago and love love love the thing. It came with a Ladyfair trimmer….basically I trim the hair and then use the Cleancut. I do not get ingrowns with it and it it closer than a razor shave. I will say that it does not work as well if you have finer hair. There is another one that looks similar in design called the Body Bare but I have not ever used that one.

As far as ingrowns go, salicylic acid is what will keep them at bay. Basically go and buy some cheap acne gel or wipes (like Stridex) and use that after shaving.

Personally I use the mat for learning and until I’m secure with a move I won’t include it in my dance practice/routines as I dont like the interruption of flow caused by using a move I’m not yet secure with.
This is me too! -

I am going to throw this up here….may not be "on a budget" but I can tell you that the color and health of my hair is incredible since I started doing this.
First, for EXTREMELY DAMAGED hair, ApHOGEE is the best thing I have ever used. The stuff stinks to high hell and is a mess to use but really works wonders. It is hydrolyzed animal protein that you put in your hair and then let dry. Your hair basically is a solid mass of extreme stinkiness for several hours. After you wash it out and apply their balancing moisturizer. My hair has been to the point of rubber after perms (seriously, THAT damaged) and this is the only thing that helped me keep my hair. I am a fan of their Keratin Recontructor and their leave in Green Tea and Keratin spray also. Again, this is for hair that has been so damaged that it is breaking and falling out
For lightly damaged hair I swear by the Ion 3 step emergency service. When I used to chemically color my hair I would do this prior to coloring to get a more even processing and coloring.
HOWEVER…I have not had to use any of these products in the last 3 years because of my new love, which is henna. I am not talking the compound stuff that you hear horror stories about, I am talking the pure ground leaves of henna that is used for tattoos. I found Henna for Hair when my hair was so damaged that it stopped accepting color and it was 2 different colors. Using cassia you can get strawberry blond, using amla you can get brown and using indigo you can get black. There are also several shades of red depending on the region that the henna is grown. The process if kind of long and your hair smells like wet hay for about a week after but the color NEVER washes out. NEVER. This is the "problem" with henna…it does not come out so you have to be committed to it. BUT, my hair is healthy, shiny and the most gorgeous shade of auburn that I could never get out of a box. And the grey coverage is out of this world. In the sun my hair pretty much glows. This pic was taken a few weeks ago with a friend of mine:

Did the one on paypal possibly expire? Even though it may be the same number the expiration date and CCV number on the back will change.

I have days and sometimes weekends where I CONSTANTLY eat…it is usually bad food too which makes me crave even more bad food. I have to make a conscious effort to eat something healthy and that will usually put a stop to the madness.
