The Urban Decay Eye shadow primer – that is the shiz!!! I use it on my eyebrows before I pencil them in to give them a long lasting effect. I use the Anastasia Eyebrow pencil, its $21 but it lasted for almost a year (would of lasted longer if I didnt wash it). I love my Smashbox mascara, I got it at a steal for $10 at Ulta (LOVE that place, next to Sephora). The past few years ive really been investing in better quality make up. I sold Mary kay for a few years and was ready to try new brands.
For performance I got a sample set from a company that specializes in Cheer and Dance makeup called BA Star. I set in for a sample based on my colors of my costume and I love them! I got a glitter eye pallete, 2 jars of glitter (based on my color choices) and the glue for the glitter. They even sell glitter mascara!!!

Like alot of people said alot of injuries can be prevented with learning proper alignment and how to treat yourself off the pole. I just get alot of general soreness after a workout. Epsom Salt bath do wonders! The worst was tendonitis, I still have some fears doing anything split grip since thats what triggered it.
As for your scoliosis, a friend of mine had back sugery a year ago. She had metal rods put in her back. She was cleared for working out about 6 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago we competed against each other and she won! Need I say any more.

Windows has Windows Movie Maker and Mac has iMovie. Your computer should have one of them. I use iMovie to make all my stuff. But like someone else said you dont have to edit the videos to post them on here.

Ive ridden a long roller coaster when it comes to pole. Ive lost weight, got pregnant, gained it all back, lost it all and gained a poriton back and fighting to keep it off.
Pole has become therapy for me. Its my happy place, its where I cant be judged, go wild and crazy and can be myself for a moment. Last year I was diagnosed with PCOS which was a hard diagnosis to handle at first. I promised myself I would not let it take over my life and I was gonna live my life to the fullest and kick PCOS's butt! There are days where its harder than usual, I really havent felt like myself in the past year but im trying to turn it around. Thats where pole comes in, it makes me forget about the stuff that comes with PCOS (anxiety, depression, odd weight gain) and that I can just have fun and not worry about it.
Its also brought press about me and my pole skills. Seeing those positive comments make me happy so see. Some of them I start tearing up while reading them. I now have a brand ive created, a sponsored contract and lots of tv things that are coming up for me. I wouldnt have these things if it wasnt for pole and You Tube.

Im liking the changes too! I noticed the discuss bit a few days ago. Thanks Webby!

Theres a crappy version of it on You Tube, someone found it for me.
I was bummed at first that they used my maiden name and not my current last name. But the producers told me they fixed that over the weekend. I loved how the voice over said something about me struggling to put on my shoes! Dude you try putting on 7inch heels with a buckle like that. Then they zoomed in on a friend of mine saying that I compete against girls that size, well technically I do but shes my friend! But I understood its all for tv.

🙂 it put a smile on my face!

I was using acetone on my chrome one. That worked really well for me. When I was at the Xpose Annapolis location, they had the itac2 pole cleaner. I really liked that stuff, im thinking about ordering some of it for my pole.
At my home studio we use windex.

My sister has lost about 70lbs just from running. She hasnt incorporated weights yet but thats her next step. My sister played softball her entire life, she would lose 30-50lbs every season (she played in the spring,summer and fall. Shes competed at the Softball World Series and has met Jennie Finch) and during the summer put some of it back on. She would tell you the reason she would knock the ball out of the park (ive wittnessed it a few times) so she didnt have to run all the way. She would run to 1st and be wiped out. Once she starts doing some weight training (she was part of the power lift club in HS), the rest of her weight will drop off. Now shes running 2miles with out a problem!
The running was only for a cardio thing – I normally do about 10-15min on 2-3 different machines. But doing C25K was the first thing ive done where ive done 30min of straight cardio.
Right now im just walking a little faster on a high incline – I never knew how many calories you can burn just by doing that. I also try and take walks at lunch too. Both dealerships I work for are right next to each other so its about a 1/4mil as a full lap. Some days a group of us do 2 laps.
Today my knee feels AWESOME!! I actually started to bend it yesterday when I was on the couch. Ive been trying to ice and rest as soon as I get home and ice some more after my kids go to bed. I even iced it this morning when I woke up at 2a for no reason. Im even brace free for 2days.

Thanks everyone!! I had a hard time watching it but ive always had a hard time seeing myself and hearing myself.
-
They wont put up the clips until the next day. I watched it in real time. If the voice over couldnt stress enough that I am 250, it was a good piece they put together.
I havent gotten much hate like I did with the article in The Daily Mail, but lots of love back!!! 🙂

My ceiling is just like yours! So I totally understand. acutally I think we may have the same ceiling height too! The PS adapter should help. Also brass is an addtional $100/pole for PS. Im looking forward to installing mine in my living room!

Im bumping this thread due to my last experience with extensions. I bought mine from Sallys beauty supply. For the set it was $100 and I had to dye them to match my hair. If you have a beauty club card you can save a few bucks on them, plus they were on sale at $10 off so I saved about $15! I bought extensions close to my natural hair color so when I dye them, they would produce the same reaction and match exactly to my hair. After putting the dye on them I let them sit for about 30min, since its virgin hair the color will pick up faster than your own hair. I washed them out just like I would do with my own hair then let them air dry. Then I combed them out (wide comb, I believe they make ones just for hair extensions). Then they clip right in and they hold nicely. I may have to get a second set since I have super thick hair and im not sure if they look right in.
I also reccomend getting a case for them. I have one so my kids dont try to get them out and play with them!
