Wisdom of the B.O.W.C.

Two practical tips from the front lines...

• For those with "a litte more junk in the...chest," one B.O.W.C. regular says try the Shock Absorber sports bra. "No bouncing, EVER."  Available from Amazon, but don't miss the racy Bounceometer on their excellent website.
• Let's say you've been working out a lot, maybe doing some kind of wacky 30 day challenge, and then one day you come home from the gym and notice you've got an itchy rash ALL OVER the place. Hello Milaria, a.k.a. sweat rash, otherwise known as "heat rash," and not to be confused with Malaria. Do not panic. Other than unconfirmed report of a British infantryman (1908 Hussar division) succumbing to sweat rash while on swamp detail in Equatorial Guinea, the condition does not appear life threatening. Indeed, it is common. Nothing to be ashamed of. Solution: Cool showers, loose clothing, Calamine lotion. Avoid Bikram yoga and the Department of Motor Vehicles.
