Health and Beauty Tip -- Moisturizer Before Bedtime
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.

The First Lady is an unpaid public servant elected by one person --- her husband.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Bob Haircuts Are "In"!
Bobs look great on just about anyone -- blunt, short ends at the chin complement the shape of most faces. If you have a round face, though, ask your stylist for other options; cuts that end at the chin can make your face appear rounder.
Quote of the Day
The head never rules the heart, but just becomes its partner in crime.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Two Conditioners
If you have curly hair and are prone to frizz, keep two conditioners on hand. Use a heavy one every time you wash your hair, and a deep one to use once a week. Frizzy hair can never be overconditioned!
Quote of the Day
Mothers, food, love, and career, the four major guilt groups.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Green Tea Tonic
For a refreshing trick that's also good for your skin, mix two tablespoons green tea with half a cup of water. Sweep the mixture over your face with a cotton ball and let it evaporate -- you don't need to wash it off.
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 -- Alternative to Toner
If you're not satisfied with your toner, or want to try something different, use lemon juice instead. Its natural disinfecting and cleaning properties are popular with models, and is a refreshing alternative to other toners. Make sure you don't have any lemon or citrus allergies first.

Quote of the Day
Use what talent you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Color or Highlight?
Women with shorter hair tend to look better with a full color job than with highlights. Medium to long hair looks wonderful with highlights, especially if your hair is also long around the face.
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 -- Cover Roots Quickly
If you need to cover your roots and don't have time to dye, use eyeshadow! Spray on a little hairspray, then pat a little eyeshadow along your visible hairline. Gold works best with blonde, and brown works best for dark hair or for covering gray.
Quote of the Day
The only place you will be accepted is the place you make for yourself.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Look Thinner in Photos
The way you pose can affect how you look in pictures! To make yourself look thinner, turn a bit sideways with one foot in front of the other, put your shoulders back and your chest out. Not only does it look good in photos -- it's also good posture!
Quote of the Day
It is hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Not Used to Makeup?
If you're new to (or bad at) applying makeup, start with your lipstick. The color and brightness will be a good gauge as to how much you should make up your eyes and cheeks. Remember, never draw attention to more than one part of your face at a time!
