Stuck in a Rut
By Janet on August 18, 2009 | 2 Comments
Like most women I find it’s easy to get “stuck in a rut”. What has happened ? Why do I feel so “blah”? Why am I so lazy? Why is my skin so dull? For me it is all about the basics. Why I am sitting on my ass when I should be sweating it out? That’s right sweating it out! Someti... -
HIIT it!
By Elizabeth on August 16, 2009 | 7 Comments
I’ve written a bit about interval training in the past, but people love to read about fat loss, so here I go again … By now, you’ve probably read about a million and one ways to lose weight. There’s no denying that regular cardiovascular exercise (coupled with resistance training and a soun... -
From Russia with LoveBy Elizabeth on August 9, 2009 | 3 Comments
“I defect.” If you’ve seen Moscow on the Hudson you may remember Robin Williams’ character Vladimir Ivanoff saying these very words. Now I’m not certain about how often you think about emigration, but I’m pretty sure you frequently think about something that’s on most women’s minds a... -
Be Absolutely Fabulous!By Elizabeth on August 2, 2009 | 5 Comments
You may have noticed that I took a bit of a hiatus and did not post any articles during the month of July. Perhaps I wanted to take my birthday month off to reflect on the last 35 years. Or perhaps I was just a bit depressed about turning 35 on July 31st. Sigh … does this make me now officially ... -
Time to Throw out the Skinny JeansBy Janet on July 6, 2009 | 6 Comments
Finally after so many years of holding onto my “skinny jeans” I’ve decided it’s time for us to part. Out they go! I’m not 29 anymore, and I’m sick of making myself believe that I ONLY look my best when I can fit into those jeans. I’m a new better and improved wom... -
Let it Shine! Let it Shine! Let it Shine!By Elizabeth on June 28, 2009 | 2 Comments
Our favorite Charlie’s Angel may have left us, but her spirit – not to mention her raw sex appeal – live on. Who hasn’t seen THE poster that launched a thousand posters by now? But was it Farrah Fawcett’s smile or silky, feathered bangs that we are still fawning over? Get as much at... -
What Big Eyes you Have!By Elizabeth on June 21, 2009 | 3 Comments
“Oh, grandmother, what big eyes you have!” said Little Red Riding Hood to the big, bad wolf (not knowing that she was not in fact speaking to her dear old granny). I won’t continue with the story since it’s safe to assume that we’re all familiar with this Grimm fairy... -
Is it Time for a Good Spring Cleaning?By Elizabeth on June 14, 2009 | 5 Comments
Maybe Britney Spears is trying to tell us all something when she sings, “Don’t you know that you’re toxic?” In part, this is true for many of us. Do you know if you’re toxic? What is really going on inside of you? Most people don’t realize that a good spring cleaning is not only n... -
Bend it Like BeckyBy Elizabeth on June 7, 2009 | 2 Comments
Flexibility is not just important for contortionists and gymnasts. Incorporating flexibility into your training routine can help you perform everyday functions more easily and may even help you avoid back pain and injury. Stretching increases flexibility around a joint, yielding a greater range o... -
Oh, to be a Skinny Minnie!By Elizabeth on May 31, 2009 | 5 Comments
One of the first questions I ask my clients is, “What kind of cardio training are you doing right now?” I’m never surprised to hear that they follow a pretty standard cardiovascular routine that puts them on the treadmill or bike for 30 to 45 minutes at a time several times a week – if t...
Lately a lot of famous married men seem to be stepping out on their wives—and getting caught. The main reason they get caught is that the women they’re cheating with rat them out to the press. Who know why guys like Tiger Woods, Jesse James and David Boreanaz have steak at home, but insist on going out for dogburgers? But the motives of their consorts are pretty obvious—fame and money. The press insists on referring to these women as “mistresses.”
In days of old, a “mistress” was a woman who was “kept” by a married man, often a wealthy one. The “other woman” respected her man’s wife and family, and in return for being supported in style, she kept her mouth shut. The wife often knew about the mistress, but as long as she had the name, the house and the children, she also stayed quiet. Obviously, the new breed of “mistress” has little in common with her classier forerunners.
There are better terms to describe the strippers, nightclub hostesses, cocktail waitresses and porn stars who’ve mined their indiscretions for big bucks payoffs—like hooker, whore, skank and slut. I wish the media would stop honoring these calculating bimbos with the term “mistress” and call them what they really are.
“Mistress” or Whore?
