Does anyone here use a Fitbit? I hate the band it comes with. Wish H made a nice band! Anyway, I replaced it with a cool magnetic band, but it kept coming apart, the watch would fall off, and during commencement last month (soft grass, stupid costume sleeves, lots of walking, etc.) I lost it entirely. So annoyed. I got a new Fitbit and want to replace the band. Anyone happy with theirs? Leather or metal, I don't care, just not rubber or plastic. Thanks for advice!

Hi moma, I use a Fitbit and have found the following options in my search. The Vera Wang styles are at Kohls. I quite liked the black metal but it was large so I passed. I ended up with the Tory Birch pendant to wear under clothing when I don't have a sleeve to hide the Fitbit. Otherwise I use the black rubber and push it up under my sleeve. I don't think the pendant records as well as a bracelet. I think @MrsOwen3 used to clip hers to her bra which is great idea but you need that particular style Fitbit with the clip. It's unfortunate that they are so unattractive, I've grown to love mine but hate the way it looks in an Hermes stack, lol. My friend once told me my CDC was embarrassed to be next to the Fitbit!

I'm the one rewatching TP. Did the DVD set have any interesting extras? That series was groundbreaking, historical, etc. etc. (in addition to being weird, LOL). Riviera sounds great, but I don't have TV service. Hope it comes to Netflix or Amazon. Here are two very different trailers:

That's it Riviera! I think it's launching soon and when it does, I should be able to download all episodes at once and I will report back.
Re Twin Peaks DVD, I watched it such a long time ago, I don't remember it had any particular extras etc. Have you watched the new season? Any good?

Oh, these are great. Thanks!! You just helped me find that area of the fitbit website, LOL. Off to explore!

I won't start the new season until I've finished rewatching the old one, and I've just started season 2. I don't binge watch, LOL, so it will be a while. Will report back!

I have a fitbit and the strap is uncomfortable. Mine looks much wider than those straps.

I'm so sorry. The bracelet looks cool though. Too bad it wasn't a good color.

Thanks for sharing the dip dye link. I only like dip dyes in 140 cm format. I'm trying to think if I have any that I don't love. I think I will update be too afraid to do it. I'm not a risk taker. [emoji51]

It sounds like they will also have scarves for purchase at the event that have been dip dyed, some in past season prints (at least at other events) so daring or ugly scarves not necessarily needed! I need to look into tickets to NY and convince my DH to be a house husband so I can go!

Yes. I think I would do better with a pre dyed scarf. If you do decide to go let me know. I might be going.

I heard someone mentioned Twin Peaks! The new seasons are being recorded on my Sky box. We haven't watched any yet. I have the original series on DVD and I only really like the 1st season. It got a bit too weird later on. Will give the new season a go later on.
There is a new original series done by Sky called Rivera which is starting soon. Julia Stiles is in it and it's filmed in my favourite places on this planet, the French Rivera so it's a must-see for me. I already recognised so many familiar places from the trailer! Can't wait!

This sounds interesting. I have always liked Julia Stiles. She is one who who made a respectable transition from child actress two adult actress. My first expensive/adult haircut was modeled on a spread she did for Elle magazine when I was in college. She had always had child-like long hair, and suddenly she got a shorter and more adult layered haircut. I thought I could have a similar transformation! I am suddenly realizing that now I'm back to my girlish hairstyle with very long hair! Oops.

That's cute! I've been thinking about getting the H Apple Watch for fitness. Does anyone know how well it records steps etc? I am on the fence because I know the battery life is low when the GPS is on (to track distance). I wonder if it has an accelerometer so that walking distance can be estimated if GPS is not on.

I will!! It's next week, correct?

Yes, season two went on and on. I'm curious about the new series.

Yes, checked in our Netflix queue, it was season two that we jumped ship! It must have gotten even more weird, as having made it through the first season, I think we have a fairly high tolerance! But, oohh, looking forward to this new Riviera program! Especially love programs set at the ocean!

I love that cut! I've tried it in the past, but my hair would not cooperate!

I love that cut! I've tried it in the past, but my hair would not cooperate!

I was really surprised to see how long I have been getting a version of this cut for! Since 2002 apparently. I typically go for a cut every 6 months (out of laziness since it always takes 3-4 hours!) to just below my shoulders and somehow it ends up halfway down my back again so quickly. Fast growing hair has become a problem now that I have some silver hairs. I should change up to a new style tomorrow. I have been getting this same haircut for 15 years now apparently...
I suppose hair style is like makeup or clothing, it is more fun to change it up, but we often stay with the same styles because we have found what is most complementary.
