Quad Stretch
Strike a Yoga Pose: Extended Side Angle
There's nothing like getting a good stretch for the sides of your belly. Extended Side Angle pose is great for that, plus it really opens your hips and works the quad of your bent knee.
- Begin in Downward Facing Dog pose.

My very good pal pinkangelmonkey...or as her goof (yes goof) friends like to call her, Squeaky, has asked for my assistance in her entrance to the make-up world. First off, let me just tell you how flattered/embarassed/smiley/honored I was when I read her blog and what everyone had to say :o :oops: :D :yoda: So I really hope I do not disappoint with this, as I am no expert and am only going by my experiences and opinions on this :) I'm starting in the drug-store since I don't know how far her budget stretches, and it's always fun to start out playing with cheaper makeup and getting into the swing of things before shelling out the big bucks. Any and all suggestions are welcome as I haven't tried all products and there could be something perfect for Squeaky out there that I don't know about :) Our gorgeous subject: As you can see, Squeaky has GORGEOUS blue eyes and great skin!!Yoga Challenge: Twisting Extended Side Angle
