Quote of the Day
Weather means more when you have a garden. There's nothing like listening to a shower and thinking how it is soaking in around your green beans.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Storing Perfumes
Make sure all your perfumes and colognes are capped tightly and kept out of direct sunlight -- they don't have to be kept cold, but a cool, dark place helps it last longer. And don't save up several different perfumes for later. The scent will change over time. Use it when you get it!
Quote of the Day
Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Applying Perfume
Only use perfume on your skin, on your pulse points; anywhere else, it won't last (and won't be very detectable). Don't apply any behind your ears, and when you put it on your wrists, don't rub them together -- this will alter the scent.
Quote of the Day
You can be pleased with nothing when you are not pleased with yourself.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Short Hair
If you have long hair and have decided to get it cut short, do so slowly over time. It's better for your hair, and not quite as shocking to your friends and family!
Quote of the Day
Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only for wallowing in.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Bad Haircuts
Even if you're trying to grow out a bad haircut, make sure to keep it trimmed properly. In the meantime, bandannas and hair accessories can be used to your advantage to keep you looking at least somewhat stylish while you wait for your hair to get back to normal!
Quote of the Day
Not only have women been successful in entering fields in which men are supposed to have a more natural aptitude, but they have created entirely new businesses.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Time for a Haircut
You should get your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks to avoid problems with split-ends and flyaways. If the ends of your hair are getting fuzzy, that's a good sign that you're overdue for a cut.
Quote of the Day
We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Choosing Scents
You may not know it, but your favorite scent is actually influenced by your body chemistry -- you're very likely to pick something that works for you if you go by instinct. Before you buy that bottle of perfume, though, wait a few minutes after you've sprayed some on from the tester. Scent can change given time.
Quote of the Day
In university they don't tell you that the greater part of the law is learning to tolerate fools.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Hydrating Your Skin
If you don't use extra-moisturizing cream already, switch to it for winter. For extra hydration, apply it while your skin is still wet.
Quote of the Day
Every instance of heartbreak can teach us powerful lessons about creating the kind of love we really want.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Showers for Winter Skin Care
As nice as a hot shower may feel first thing in the morning on a winter day, don't make it too hot. This makes it more difficult for your skin to retain moisture. Watch the temperature, and cool the water off a bit right before you get out. Your skin will lock in more moisture, and you'll avoid that nasty cold shock when you get out of...Read more
Quote of the Day
There are times not to flirt. When you're sick. When you're with children. When you're on the witness stand.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Curly Lashes
When using an eyelash curler, use a blow dryer to heat it up first. This will make it work much better and give you even curlier lashes!
Quote of the Day
While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Cleaning Brushes
Want to get combs and hairbrushes clean? Soak them in ammonia for a minute or two -- it works a lot like the cleaner hairdressers use for their tools. Make sure to wash them off afterwards.
