This song has it all: a soft jungle beat start, enticing vocals, driving piano and ‘Saturday Night Live' like sax!
I can see why it peaked to number 1 in Austria, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy. We may be a bit behind here in the States!
I've been using this 4:44, 65 rpm ‘Deep House' genre climb to work in and out of the saddle.
We've been having a lot of fun with Klingande Jubel:

A little something shimmery hides a multitude of sins! I love this Pure Finish Summer Escape Bronzing Powder by Elizabeth Arden. It's subtle and lovely.
This powder comes in Warm or Deep Glow, so all skin colors are complimented. A dusting with a big powder brush over foundation and under blush helps give an even all over tone and yields a lovely glow. It basically makes my skin look younger.
I also like to run the brush down my neck and on my chest area- I'll take younger looking there too!
The last bronzing powder I bought from Elizabeth Arden lasted over 3 years, so at $42.50, it's a pretty good investment!

A special treat in my life is a nice manicure with gel polish. Love, love, love! But I can't always get them when I want and need them.
I grow cuticles as quickly as I grow calluses. That means I need to somehow take care of my cuticle overgrowth between manicures- which can sometimes be months. A nail clipper just doesn't cut it (ha ha- pun not intended).
What little miracle tool helps me out? Introducing-The Cover Girl Cuticle Remover/Pusher ($4. 99 on ebay).
I have three of them- one in the car, one upstairs in my office and one in my bathroom on the main level. I sometimes overuse this tool a bit and cause some bleeding, so be careful! But, it does feel and look good to keep my cuticles under control. It also helps keep my manicure budget under control!
Let me know if you have success with this handy dandy little tool!

I'm talking about Sally Hansen's Wax Strips for Body. This super easy to use press on and zip off wax system is cheapo ($6.49 at Walmart) and allows me to maintain the tiniest bit of modesty while grooming for my bike shorts and occasional swimsuit appearance!
I tried the professional salon waxing thing…once, and didn't like it a bit. I guess I'd rather save the $89 (plus tip), my modesty and inflict my own pain. I also need to admit I'm not very comfortable in a salon setting, so if there are things I can do myself, or go to someone's house, I much prefer that.
Speaking of pain. I'm not gonna lie- it does hurt. But ripping hair out by the root does- no matter how we do it. For me, it's worth the few moments of pain in return for 6 weeks pretty much hair/stubble free and no razor burn or in-grown hairs.
As a side note- I also cut these strips very thinly and use them to wax my daughters brows. No need to buy the separate strips for face. Wondering about brow shape? Check out my post on brows here.
The strips need to be warmed before pulling apart, which can be challenging in the winter months in a cold climate. I tuck them under my bootie for a few minutes, and that seems to warm them just enough to pull them apart- distributing the wax equally on both sides of the strip.
It's important to hold your skin taut with one hand and pull the wax strip off quickly and firmly the opposite way of hair growth. (Think of pulling a band-aid off..) Done properly, you should see the hair follicle at the end of each hair on the wax strip.
The wax strip kit comes with a little bottle of oil that removes the wax residue when you're done. In case you run out, or lose it, any oil will remove the wax- baby oil, massage oil, even kitchen oil (olive, coconut, etc.)
Yes, in an attempt to find less painful hair removal methods I've tried other systems:
-hot wax with strips (ouch from the hot temp and then still having to yank, plus it's messy)
-hair removal creams and gels that smell like perms and burn. No thanks!
-and yes, I tried the no!no! supposed permanent hair removal system. It was painstakingly slow and didn't work anyway, so I'll save you the trouble and appease your curiosity right here :).
So, there's my two cents on how to cheaply and effectively- but not painlessly DIY (do it yourself) hair removal.

I found this powder way back in the cupboard of our master bathroom.
I remember buying it l-o-n-g ago when the kids were little. They had terrible diaper rash and none of the standard gooey ointments were doing the trick. I called my mom, a nurse from the 50's, and asked her what I should do. She recommended heading over to Walgreen's and picking up some Caldesene Powder. You can't miss it- it comes in a round pink container with blue writing.
I popped that on their cute little booties and they miraculously healed up in no time!
I didn't throw the Caldesene Powder away, mostly for nostalgic reasons. I'm glad I didn't! This little powder has given me relief after long days in the saddle and after teaching back to back classes.
The zinc oxide and talc do a great job of relieving:
For under $5.00, I'm always keeping this pink and blue bottle stocked in my cupboard!
