Let me know how it looks I wouldn’t mind getting something similar

I definitely will let you know!! I think it’s going to work out really good. Even if I just tack it to the wall without a back…It reflects 95-99%…It may be a tad darker because of it missing those few %s…But for 15 bucks, a full wall length mirror that could cover 25 ft of wall…It’s not a bad buy and if it doesn’t work, I didn’t waste that much money!

I got my mirror from Lowes and they had several different sizes.
I may still check out that avenue…I was just in Lowes parking lot meeting my boyfriend’s grandparents and I begged him to go in to look, but he has to go to work in a little bit. So I sadly drove away…I’ll probably check it out there tomorrow…What are they like? Are they strong enough to just lay against the wall? Or did you actually attach it to the wall with those mirror clip things?

Ok..So I ordered this online:

http://www.mylarstoreonline.com/25ft.html

I ordered the 55 in x 25 ft x 1 mil Mylar Roll. I think it’s going to work pretty good for the time being until I can afford a big mirror or even a couple "over the door" mirrors. I looked up prices on the "over the door" mirrors and the cheapest was 14.99 because campus specials are over now. Last week I saw them at Walmart for 7.98 and I couldn’t believe it. I should have bought it. If the Mylar doesn’t work, I’ll just suck it up and buy some mirrors.

Go to that website and check out the pictures…It shows the reflectibility and it looks pretty good!! I know a couple of gyms who use Mylar Mirrors because Mylar doesn’t shatter so it’s much safer. I hear it scratches easily if you are touching it a lot…so I’ll probably need to use a soft lens cloth of some sort to clean it.

What do you guys think? Am I crazy for buying it? Im going to find a way to adhere it to the wall…but I could also attach it to something with a back to make it look like a free standing mirror (like a pegboard or something)…

Ask your hubbies!!

I just found something called a Mylar Roll…It is huge and is mirror like…What do you think if I roll a mirror out…would it work the same way? Anyone know what Mylar Rolls are?

No restrictions on…you have to complete this lesson first and then the next?

Thanks for the info…My boyfriend is leary about removing the ceiling fan…we’re renting a townhouse right now…we can always put it back…=)

I’ve heard that taking Iron pills or simply a vitamin that covers potassium and iron (Like A-Zinc kind of stuff) is good for keeping the bruises away and making them heal faster. If your body is lacking in Iron, it will cause your body to bruise much easier and faster than a person who is not iron-deficient. Hope this helps!

Wow!! Thank you girls for the quick responses!! I just wanted to clarify…I have a lot of respect for the girls who dance in our club, but I am definitely not in that lifestyle. I do not plan on doing anything outside of my home or competitions. There are no studios for a good 3 hours from my home, so I’m thinking I do not need to get the standard since I won’t be using any other pole than my own.

The pole at my dad’s club is a gold color, but he has forgotten what brand it is. He’s been in business for 27 years, so through lots of different poles, he has no idea!! lol. It’s static too. I prefer to get one to switch between spinny and static. I hear how much fun the spinny ones are and can’t wait to try.

So I’m thinking i’ll get the TG 45? Is there any sense in worrying about having tiny hands if I get that one? Because like I said, I don’t have tiny hands, but I don’t have big ones either…just regular girly hands. lol (Never talked this much about my hands)…

Thanks for all your help…So excited and have researched for so long that I don’t want to get the wrong one. But you girls are right…Whatever pole I end up getting I will be able to adjust to it.

VEENA – I recently heard you are out of TG45? Is that still true? If so, when will the next shipment be in? I’m almost dying to get one so If you don’t have any, I might have to settle for a different one…like the TG50? or Chrome 45?

Do you have poles right now Veena??

I have a sister who is seven years younger than I am and she will be turning 16 on June 30th. Ever since she was born she’s definitely been the spoiled one of the two of us but considering she’s the baby it didn’t upset me…but my mom lets her do a lot of things like dye her hair and pierce her ear cartilege that I begged to do when I was her age that were not allowed. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Glitterhips,
I know this reply is a little late, but I felt like I had to reply to this. I thought for the longest time I was the only one who had a situation in my family like this. I am 21 and my sister is 19. My sister gets ALL the attention in my family. When I was 13, I wanted to get my belly button pierced and I wanted to go tanning. My mom refused to let me. But when my sister turned 12, she got to do all of it without hesitation. Now, I am glad that I didn’t get my belly pieced, but I do not give my mom props not letting me do that. I feel a constant…"grudge" between me and my mom and sister. I try so hard by living on my own, paying for my car, going to school full-time, and working very hard at 2 jobs. My sister on the other hand has lived a lot of her 19 years in juvi. She’s a very bad person. She’s stolen my car before (had to call the cops because I didn’t know who stole it.) She got an underage drinking ticket and gave the cop my information (He didn’t ask for ID–ridiculous) and she got it the night before my 20th birthday. It hurt because she hung out with me on my birthday and never said a word. I did not find out about it until one night I was telling my boyfriend about how bad my sister is and where I’m from, you can look up anyones tickets online. I typed in my last name only because I have an unusual one. There popped up a ticket with my name on it. What is even worse is that she ignored the whole thing even past the court date, so I found out that I had a warrant out for me because of it. I couldn’t talk to a police officer about it because police officers have a duty to fulfill warrants no matter what the situation is. It was really hard time for me to get through because I’m going to school to be a lawyer and I’ve worked very hard on building my reputation and experience. My family didn’t think it was a big deal, but I couldn’t leave my house without getting scared because I was so scared a cop would run my plates and take me to jail.

Anyways…(I guess I needed to share that and get it out lol), I know how you feel. I just wanted you to know that. I don’t have anyone to talk to about the inequality I feel in my family, so I want you to know that if you ever need someone to vent to or talk to, I will totally listen. I don’t have any advice on how to deal with it because I struggle daily with my mom always buying my sister things and never taking interest in me. She sounds a lot like your sister (no job…money moocher). I’ve been told to look at my own life and see all I have accomplished and look at her life…but it’s still hard to see when you always feel inadequate.

Please feel free to message me about anything. I promise I will understand. =)
