Clever! I like it.
Tiny detail, working out wasn’t a thing 70 years ago. But if it was about to become one I’m sure you we would have heard about it on Corporette first.

Actually I based that on something I thought I remembered about Elsie de Wolfe and how she had a trampoline workout. (from this book: http://www.amazon.com/Power-Style-Annette-Tapert/dp/0517585685/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458151240&sr=8-1&keywords=power+of+style)
This is all I can find on the web, though: Interior designer Elsie de Wolfe was famous for her morning exercises. She wrote in her 1935 autobiography that her daily regimen at age seventy included yoga, standing on her head, and walking on her hands. ”

Wow, I had NO idea that Corporete was even around 70 year’s ago. We women onley got the vote in about 1920, so it is great that there was a Corporete back then. Who was running it, Kat’s mother or grandmother even? I also did NOT even know there was an INTERNET back then b/c AL GORE INVENTED THE INTERNET and he is mabye less then 70 year’s old. I kind of like Tipper Gore, but I think they are not together, which if true is sad b/c they KISSED in front of everyone when Clinton was President and he was getting Kissed by More then his wife. I watched Monica Louinskey on TED Talks. She is a real trooper for putting up with all of the stuff she went thru with DC and all. She is older then me but a real role model for all of us women. YAY!!!

How to Get a Midday Workout on the Trampoline.
How I wish this were a real story.
legit help!
please no trolling–I need an eye cream. I don’t need to worry about wrinkles yet, but I DO need to deal with puffy & dark. Don’t want to spend a fortune, but tired of throwing away money for stuff that doesn’t work.

Timewise firming eye cream by Mary Kay. It’s a family favorite, and works better than others tried.
