Exercise Equipment Needs

Recently, I've been doing a great deal of online window-shopping for exercise equipment. Because I'm not outfitting a full gym, I've avoided looking at commercial fitness equipment. Size, weight, and cost keep professional machines out of my range. Or so I thought.

While we have space issues, I discovered that price isn't automatically a problem. Refurbished equipment, coming out of the local workout club, can offer features not available on items designed for the home user. And, because the gym is anxious to upgrade their treadmills and stair climbers, the used machines may not be much more expensive.

I can't say how the quality compares. But it might well be worth a closer look.

Skin Care Options

Even though I know that foods do not contribute to breakouts, I also know that massive quantities of chocolate aren't good for my skin. Not because chocolate is bad, but because the caffeine and sugar combination tends to bother my system. I get edgy; I get pimples.

Since I was thinking about the ramifications of (really, really) enjoying Valentine's Day goodies, I decided to do a little investigation into best skin care advice. I've been thinking about getting some kind of toner or astringent for the good ol' oil factory on my forehead and chin. What I used as a teenager, is just too strong (if they even make it anymore) for my aging skin.

Sadly, the first place I found - which seemed to cover everything from day creams to toners to eye creams - had no content. Nothing. All of the links went nowhere.

The site had been revised / changed / moved last May, but was apparently never updated. Very sad. It looks like a great start.

Oh, well. Guess I'll just have to push on and find what I'm looking for somewhere else.
