No problem :) Yea, the youtube vids have some pretty hardcore makeup junkies. It's way too sophisticated as far as application techniques for beginners when more than two or three applicators are used. I'll PM you with some foundation-matching advice.

Hey there, I lovvvve giving makeup/fashion advice, so feel free to have at me via PM. :) As far as makeup I'm more about the polished, natural look, but I can give good drama advice too :) A really good resource just for reviews if you don't even know where to begin in the makeup world is makeupalley.com (though there is a…

Oh man, I couldn't swing the dress but I would rock the galaxy leggings so hard. I have promised myself no more exciting purchases of any sort though until I'm at my goal weight (or at least dress size). I refuse to invest in the size that I'm at. More's the motivation :D

That's an awesome link, thank you :)

Hmm, they have plain old mat routines with Pilates? I'd assumed that various equipment was always involved. I'd be interested in trying out just a home-video type thing before investing too much into equipment and/or classes. Do you happen to have any recommendations in that regard?

Wow, what a quick response. First off thanks everyone for the concern; my ankle's healing nicely, and so long as I keep from aggravating it it should continue to do so. That's good advice, I'd never thought about leg lifts (like the 80's style aerobic video girls, right?) I have some resistance bands I could incorporate…
