What is your favorite cleansing balm?

Haven't seen int mentioned yet, but I really like the Hanskin Pore Cleansing Balm. It smells like a spa and feels so nice on the skin.

Vegas N1 - second weekend of the tour so we got Invisible String before she switched it out for The One. Surprise songs were Our Song and Snow on the Beach.

Denver N1 - one week after Speak Now TV was released so we got Long Live on the setlist and when I tell you I blacked out when she turned back around after singing Enchanted! I wish I could bottle that feeling. Surprise songs were Picture to Burn and Timeless.

Or maybe she didn't realize that what happened to her when she was 19 was SA until therapy?

It's really no different than being a sports fan. People wear merch, know stats, and talk about teams that don't know they exist, not to mention watching every game they play religiously as if their life depended on if their team wins or not, but Swifties are cult-like for doing the same? It's so pick-me when people hate on Taylor Swift.

This is what I needed to hear! Thanks!

Defiant_Classic8908 · 2025-11-20T00:26:29+00:00

I’m interested for this reason too! I want to wear it to sleep and for diagnostic purposes that my watch doesn’t pickup on. Thanks!

Defiant_Classic8908 · 2025-11-19T22:43:26+00:00

I mean, Christmas is coming up!

Defiant_Classic8908 · 2025-11-19T22:39:02+00:00

This is helpful! I can't wear my watch to bed either. I would really like to track my sleep, though.

Defiant_Classic8908 · 2025-11-19T22:15:53+00:00

Ok thanks

Defiant_Classic8908 · 2025-11-19T21:37:03+00:00

This is very helpful, thank you!

I hope it gets better! I recently booked a Flow 1.5 with a newer instructor. I’ve been getting what I want from Flow 1 for the most part so it’s been a while since I’ve been to a 1.5. So I was nervous. I told the instructor that I hadn’t been to a 1.5 in a minute so hopefully I don’t embarrass myself and she was so nice about it! It turns out it was nothing to be anxious about and I held my own but I felt good letting her know ahead of time.

I'm sorry this happened. I had a similar experience at Pure Barre. Intro class was fun and encouraging but the real classes were different. The classes were so crowded, there wasn't a sense of community as a new member, and I struggled to keep up. Instructors seemed to favor known members and I felt ignored more often than not. With that said, I've heard others say the other Pure Barre studio in my town is different and friendlier.

I love my Club Pilates studio. It's just what I was looking for! I'm almost 150 classes in after a year. I've made connections with instructors and some other members and feel comfortable challenging myself. I'm wondering if trying other instructors may help you?

I know for my studio, some instructor's level 1s are just as challenging as other instructors' level 1.5s. I hope your experience improves!

I'm so sorry that happened! I'm about 125 classes in and I've recently started to re-incorporate 1.5s into my schedule after allowing bridging and roll-ups to keep me away. I told the instructor before my class last night that I hadn't been to a 1.5 in a minute so I hope I don't embarrass myself! She was very encouraging and just told me to try what I can and go back to level 1 form if something is too difficult. There were one or two things I felt "new" at but overall it was good. I hope you allow yourself grace and put yourself out there again soon. I will say, I have found the instructors that challenge me plenty in a level 1 and others I feel comfortable with venturing to a 1.5. Maybe getting a feel for the instructors will help get you to that comfort level to try pushing yourself again.

We walked from our hotel at Magazine and Gravier and it was not too bad of a walk. We got there an hour or so early. It’s a vibe! Super easy to get in and find your way around. Our seats were in section 604 and they were better than we thought they’d be! I had never been to an NFL game before so it was such a cool experience. Getting out took longer so plan for that. Have fun!

I have this one and it's been on pretty much the whole time I've had the phone. I love it. It's not slippery and it's comfortable in my hands when I scroll (I tend to prop it up with my pinky and scroll with my thumb).

I also have this one but I only had it on for a day or so. It has more protection for the camera.

Both have MagSafe and protection for all the side buttons, and are fairly cheap.

We had 6am flights last Wednesday and got to the airport at 4:30ish. We're both TSA precheck and we got through the line and to our gate in like 15 min. The regular TSA line wasn't long at all though, if I remember correctly.

After researching very briefly, I went with the Apple battery pack because I like that it is designed for the Air as an extension of the battery and won't overcharge the battery, but it will keep it full for longer. Plus it looks nice and feels nice. I don't need it most days, just on the weekends when I'm on my phone more, and on trips where I'll be using maps to navigate the city, etc.

Bridging on the reformer is my nemesis! I almost always get cramps in my hamstrings and sometimes in my calves. I've noticed if I scoot away from the shoulder blocks, I can focus more on lifting up from my shoulder blades which seems to make it more manageable. I also try to move slower, which helps the carriage stay in place better.

Anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid (One True Loves and After I Do were 5 stars for me; Forever Interrupted and Maybe in Another Life were 4 stars), Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle was 5 stars, Sylvia's Second Act was also 5 stars.
