Free Music Friday 1/31
A slow and grinding climb of familiar origins (with a twist) is today's Free Music Friday. Mash ups are great, but I also enjoy when older(ish) and newer artists, leave the tune alone and combine their unique talents. It achieves a really cool result. Do you have...
Over and Out (but not totally)
"Over and out....10-4....Roger that". We use this 'radio speak' around our house a lot. Weird, I know, but it makes for clear text messages :). No wonder it's used by truckers! "Over and out, but not totally" describes what's going on with me at Clarins and my Account...
We were under attack … and we beat the kitty!
UPDATE: 1/29 8:49 CST - I've got my fingers crossed. Hopefully the preventative measures we've undertaken has this current attack thwarted and future attacks prevented! Log-in access to ICI/PRO was locked down today, in response to a "Brute Force" attack 🙁 The...
Writing and Editing: Details That Matter

No need for a fancy Indoor Cycling Studio – a clean garage will do nicely!

I Tried the Economical Versions…
And I think they ended up being more expensive in the end. Because, no lip liner wears like Lancome's LeLipstique. I need a liner that stays put and doesn't bleed into my vertical lip lines. When I teach, I need more than clear Chapstick, but I don't want a full...

In keeping with the Nonlinear Periodization training prescribed by Coach Troy, today was a combination day of strength (climbing) and building endurance @ Threshold HR/Watts. Experienced cyclists know what a real climb feels like. While Indoor Cycling may get close,...
Free Music Friday – Drug Music Addition
Any time I play a classic rock song from the 70's, I refer to it as "Drug Music". Let's be honest here. If you're looking out at a sea of 50ish male faces in class, there's a good chance that more than a few "experimented" during their teenage years. A huge part of...
