Costco Connection interview: Why a personal trainer might be right for you...

Interview with Jacqueline M. Duda for Costco Connection magazine, January 2010.
'Other exercisers might copycat a friend's routine and do the same thing over and over again.  After a while their muscles quit responding.  "They fail to see results, and just...stop." explains Costco member Liz Carney, a CPT in San Clemente, California.  "A trainer can show you new tricks and keep it fun."  Exercising incorrectly can also lead to muscle imbalance and injury.  "Having a professional correct your form is one of the biggest reasons to hire a trainer," adds Carney. 
Carney, a licensed sports nutritionist, also counsels clients on nutrition.  A healthy diet helps the body build muscle, increase metabolism, and burn fat.'  (page 46, Costco Connection Magazine)

Cosmetics formulated without gluten, Tarte

Hi  everyone! 
I have very sensitive skin and eyes, and I find that products containing gluten are irritating not only to my tummy, but to my face as well!
I am forever searching for great makeup products formulated without gluten, and just purchased Tartes provocatuer Amazonian clay pressed mineral powder SPF 8... and I love it.  
When I called to confirm that the product was gluten free, an actual human being answered, and she sent me the following email within seconds of my phone call!  I thought I would share it with my other gluten sensitive girls out there!

P.S: They are also a cruelty free, green, and all natural cosmetic company, and their products are SLS (sodium laurel sulfate) free, which is another huge irritant!
