So who wants to buy me one? Seriously. I think it’s do wonders for my back. And I think we all have heard and felt my knee by now.

These things are pretty cool though. I think Erik’s the one who first told me about them. Apparently the infrared part removes toxins that a regular sauna doesn’t get to.  I ended up getting even more info from this  Infrared Sauna site. I didn’t even think about this before, but you can burn 900 calories in 30minutes with these things! i knew regular saunas did a little, but this seems like something I can get behind. I wish my gym had them. I only burn like a third of that on the elliptical machine.

So far infrared saunas seem to be the way to go. I dunno why anyone would buy a regular sauna over this kind. I need money so we can have one

I found this organization through Eliza Dushku’s website. (Joss Whedon is putting Dollhouse on hold because of poor script quality. It sucks to wait, but I trust his judgement)

Anyway… 10,000 Girls is a non-profit in Senegal that offers education and employment opportunities to women. What’s cooler is that th whole thing is run/maintained by the girls. Check it out. I think the site needs a facelift, but it’s still great what 10k girls can do :-p
