I have an IPod Touch but tucking it into my bra has not been ideal...think sweat on the screen, having to pull it out to swipe to a new song, etc. And I agree with the others...you look radiant!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142362166054138442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-23722938949157782152014-11-03T13:15:17.804+13:002014-11-03T13:15:17.804+13:00Great idea, Fiona.

I hate to walk in my neighborhood. Have lived here for 33 years so there really is nothing left to see. I love to walk in the city for exercise because I am discovering new areas in addition to getting a workout. But I never walk here because there is nothing new. At least with an audiobook, I could be engaged while getting a walk.Kristien62https://www.blogger.com/profile/04141776821818167047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-50659178213810788962014-11-02T09:43:53.617+13:002014-11-02T09:43:53.617+13:00P.S.

Anyway, I like your idea here! Like you, I'm not a fan of exercise per se, and try to incorporate movement in other ways, plus walk in my neighborhood. But, I think I need more! Kudos to you for sharing this resource. :) Owning a shoe store though, I bet you get in more walking than you realize!Kathryn Bechenhttp://www.kathrynbechenink.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-36123954393387505412014-11-01T18:52:30.579+13:002014-11-01T18:52:30.579+13:00I second the request for a skincare and makeup pos...I second the request for a skincare and makeup post.

That's the one thing I don't like about using my phone is I need to carry it. Your shuffle is so tiny and chic!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289348366926684135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-82357806731108823642014-11-01T09:15:20.258+13:002014-11-01T09:15:20.258+13:00I love my Shuffle.

I like to make up different playlists on my laptop to suit different moods and then load them to my Shuffle so I have theme music for my day. I find it much easier to walk with suitable music playing- not too loud so I can hear traffic, though!Auroranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-35153017318759169252014-11-01T08:05:34.217+13:002014-11-01T08:05:34.217+13:00You are so cute...your last sentence--LOL!

I hang on to whatever I do have technology wise until it dies or becomes obsolete (practically). That being said, I did by an iPod touch last year-which I LOVE-but I am SO tech stupid that I don't even know what a podcast is. I know I would enjoy what you discuss here...especially when I am out walking. I will look into learning something "new" to me (hey, two days ago I learned that my iPod came with earbuds and a wrist strap--they were still buried in the box and I only learned of it because my daughter's new iPod arrived in the mail and she showed me hers. I might be hopeless).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-7860922530726835912014-11-01T07:03:44.993+13:002014-11-01T07:03:44.993+13:00This is fabulous.

I'm so technically challenged, but to think i could listen to these sort of podcasts etc (first gotta figure out how to load one) but it's really given me an idea to get my feet moving and like you. actually enjoy it.<br /><br />JaneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062322527055572465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-42186468892944136912014-11-01T03:20:19.363+13:002014-11-01T03:20:19.363+13:00That is so cool!

My iPhone and I do very welll at getting off the 'couch' if I have something interesting or amusing or tuneful to listen to. I appreciate your podcast recommendations so much. ..Will try them out right away. I also recommend TED talks and many of the US's NPR podcasts. Enjoy!Noranoreply@blogger.com
