Health and Beauty Tip -- Extra Sunscreen
If you're going out in the sun, don't forget to cover your scalp! Wearing a hat is the obvious solution, but you can also use sunscreen. Find a non-greasy, spray-on formula; lotions and creams will make your hair oily.
Quote of the Day
We can be sure that the greatest hope for maintaining equilibrium in the face of any situation rests within ourselves.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Help for Sensitive Gums
If your gums are very sensitive, rub a very small amount of aloe vera gel on, and let it sit for a few minutes before washing it off. Aloe vera strengthens gums, and it's especially good to use before using any bleaches or other whiteners on your teeth.
Quote of the Day
The particular human chain we're part of is central to our individual identity.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Hot Water
Whenever you can, try to drink a mug of hot (not boiling!) water first thing in the morning. This helps clear out impurities in your body, especially your skin.
Quote of the Day
To be a saint does not exclude fine dresses nor a beautiful house.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Applying Foundation
Having trouble with your foundation? You might not be spreading it out enough. When you dot it on your face, do so in as many places as possible -- not just four or five. If at all possible, use a cosmetic brush instead of your fingers -- this spreads out the foundation even more, and you'll end up using less.

I wish the government would put a tax on pianos for the incompetent.
Health and Beauty Tip -- The Perfect Lipstick
Have a color you like, but it's a little too bright? Add a tiny bit of concealer, either before or while you apply the lipstick. This will tone it down a bit, and it's much more complementary to the rest of your makeup.

Who would ever think that so much went on in the soul of a young girl?
Health and Beauty Tip -- Eyebrow Care
If you're not in the habit of plucking your eyebrows, be sure to give them extra attention. Use a clean toothbrush to brush eyebrows and keep them looking neat. Even if you do pluck your eyebrows, it's a good idea to do this; the little bit of extra effort can really improve your overall appearance!
Quote of the Day
Everybody wants to do something to help, but nobody wants to be first.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Lock in Moisture
Make sure you use lotion right after you shower -- most moisture is lost withing two hours of bathing, so use a water-based moisturizer as soon as possible afterwards.
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 -- De-Tangle Your Hair
If you wake up with a "rat's nest," try switching to a silk pillowcase. This keeps your hair from staying in one place all night and tangling up.
Quote of the Day
Fortunately, psychoanalysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself remains a very effective therapist.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Moisturize!
Even if you have oily skin, you need to remember to moisturize! If your skin is too dry, your pores will open up, which can not only look like blackheads, but also increase the likelihood of getting them. Look for an oil-free moisturizer and use it regularly.
Quote of the Day
Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Change Your Pillowcase
What does changing your pillowcase have to do with health and beauty? Everything! Think of everything you use in your hair and on your face ... where do you think it goes at the end of the day? Change your pillowcase often -- about every other night is good -- to prevent breakouts.
