Well, folks, in case you hadn't noticed, it's winter. Winter brings shorter, colder days and it brings my workouts inside. So, instead of walking and running outside, I'm all about the workout dvds in my basement. Right now I'm working from my existing stash, but each year I add a few to the mix so that I don't get bored, so I'm gearing up to buy a new one or two. In the meantime, I thought I'd share a couple of dvds that I have in the rotation right now that I think are worth a try. As I type this my entire body is sore from this week's round of workouts, thanks to Jackie Warner. That seems a good sign, so here are a few thoughts on the two workout dvds I've been sweating to...

And though the scent is actually called "Citrus," I would say it's more accurately described as "Tangueray and Tonic with Lime." I went through a phase in my 20's where this was my drink of choice when out socializing with friends at the bar. And now, many (many) years later, every time I slather on this lotion I am smelling those G&T's on a rooftop bar in the summer. What a lovely little memory . It's also a great, light body moisturizer. (I really do love it...smell and all.) And it's all natural, which I love. Until next time, find a product with a scent that takes you to a happy place ...and go there.
