Dark circles under eyes can be caused by a lack of oxygen to your skin. To combat this, combine one teaspoon of whole, plain yogurt with half a teaspoon of fast-acting baker's yeast. Apply under your eyes with a clean eyeshadow brush right before bed, and make sure to rinse it off in the morning.

The practice of putting women on pedestals began to die out when it was discovered that they could give orders better from there.

The sort of makeup you use can actually prevent chapped lips. Use or switch to glossy lipstick, as matte has no moisturizers (and can actually dry out your lips on its own).

The three words women most want to hear from a man are, "You lost weight."

Before bed, rub a tiny bit of toothpaste along the gumline near the sensitive teeth -- you shouldn't brush or rinse afterwards.

A woman can keep one secret - the secret of her age.

Stop discoloration on your fingernails and toenails before it happens -- always use a clear coat under your polish. It takes a little extra time, but your nails will be much better off!

Women are strange and incomprehensible, a device invented by Providence to keep the wit of man well sharpened by constant employment.

So few grown women like their lives.

Most cosmetic lines these days make "primers" to apply under your foundation. This makes your makeup last longer, and prevents oil from coming to the surface. A primer doesn't have to be expensive to work well, and it's likely your favorite brand makes it.

There isn't much that tastes better than praise from those who are wise and capable.

It's possible to "overwash" your face, especially if you have oily skin you're trying to dry out. Overwashing can actually cause, rather than prevent acne, as well as rashes and dermatitis. If you have any of these symptoms, consider switching products.

You are unique, and if that is not fulfilled, then something has been lost.

Not only are long nails "out," they're also inconvenient! If you're on a computer on a regular basis, you're likely to break your nails as you type. Short, rounded nails look best, and are much more comfortable when you work or type.

It is possible that blondes also prefer gentlemen.

If your favorite moisturizer has SPF protection, buy a different kind to use at bedtime. Your skin doesn't need the extra ingredients at night.

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.
