A Few of My Favorite Things…

Videos I LOVE on YouTube:

Haul videos. I love it when someone shows me what they bought and are all excited about it.

Reviews. What do you really think? Believe it, or not, I have come to respect some of my favorites more than others. I can pick out who’s been sent the product by the company for free and is doing a kiss-up, and who’s being honest. It’s okay to accept product, but disclose, disclose, disclose. Actually, there’s a new law about that.

Tutorials I can grasp. Remember, not all of us are super fantastic. Make em for everyone, even if you’re known for your gorgeous-ity.

People that don’t take themselves too seriously.

Best of ______________ . Everything from E.L.F. to YSL.

Hair vids. Not enough about doing my hair. I want ideas.

Fitness Tip of the Day

It’s Dance, Dance Thursday! I don’t care how old you are, how impaired you are (you can move something), how tired you are, or how little time you have. Turn on something that makes you bop your head and bop your body. Do some dances from the sixties! The swim, the monkey, the mashed potato, the twist. Good God! I’m starting to sound like the Wiggles, except if you have a toddler, you can dance to them, they have a good beat. Hey, Monkees! They were great. Pink, Brit-Brit, not her ex, Kanye, if you want new stuff, Beyonce, Rhianna (Umbrella is great for ab work), Bollywood!!! If you don’t really know what it looks like, “Monsoon Wedding,” (Great movie), or any Hidi Bollywood movie will take you there. Can’t speak Hindi? You don’t have to. The plot is always clear. Good girl does bad thing and dies, very good girl does not do bad thing and lives. They’re all morality plays and easy to follow. I love them and I’ve never once had them translated. They don’t need to be.

What about belly-dance? You don’t bellydance? Then, shake your booty and play with your hips. Relax those knees. Nothing should be too tight, just groove. Ten minutes, fifteen, whatever. No videos to follow, just dance like you did when you were a kid. Ooooo! Latin! Salsa, Cha-cha, Samba, Mambo. Don’t know how? Okay, I’ll let you get a video for those. Netflix has tons of them and I can and will make suggestions later today, or tomorrow. Tomorrow is, Fitness Friday, but there’s room for fun in every day and this is fun, along with great cardio.

Remember, get your docs permission if you have any conditions. You can dance in a wheelchair, in bed, you can blink your eyes. Everyone can do something. No excuses, just try a little. Arms only, if you’re diabetic with sores on your legs, or docs permission. Have fun and stay young! Well, young at heart, anyway.
