Health and Beauty Tip -- Quick Hair-Drying
You can cut up to 15 minutes off your morning preparation time by trying this technique: with your dryer set on low, turn your head upside down and dry while using your fingers to style. Spend most of the time on the nape of your neck -- that's the area that takes the longest to dry. The outer layers of your hair will air-dry much more quickly.
Quote of the Day
I gotta work out. I keep saying it all the time. I keep saying I gotta start working out. It's been about two months since I've worked out. And I just don't have the time. Which uh...is odd. Because I have the time to go out to dinner. And uh...and watch tv. And get a bone density test. And uh...try to figure out what my phone number spells in ...Read more
Health and Beauty Tip -- Get the Most Out of Lipstick
You don't need to buy multiple tubes of lipstick to get different looks! If you want a glossy finish, apply a thin layer of Vaseline to your lips first. Dust your lipstick with some loose powder once it's applied for a matte finish, or pat it on gently for a stain. And for an evening style, mix your lipstick with a bit of dark eyeshadow.

If you can't say anything good about someone, sit right here by me.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Getting a Perfect Haircut
Make sure your stylist knows exactly what you want, and help her get it just right. Sit up straight in your chair, to make sure your posture (and thus your style) isn't skewed. And instead of just describing what you want, use your hands to indicate length and style wherever you can. This gives the stylist a better idea visually of what you'...Read more

Oh! Do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Long-Lasting Eyeshadow
To keep your eyeshadow looking great all day, apply a little concealer to your eyelid before brushing it on. This will make it last all day!

You should always believe what you read in the newspapers, for that makes them more interesting.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Simple Make-Up Remover
Here's a quick fix for make-up removal -- instead of cold cream or just soap and water, try a cotton pad or ball with baby oil. Swipe it across your face. It works just as well as a commercial make-up remover.

It's not the men in my life that count, it's the life in my men.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Add Radiance to Your Face
When you're done applying your makeup, take your brush and apply a very light dusting of baby powder to give your face a radiant glow. Too much will make you look pale, though, so use it sparingly!
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 -- Eat Your Greens
Studies are showing that green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale and collards are beneficial to your body's ability to keep itself healthy. The high amounts of vitamin E in each help fight chemicals produced by the body that can damage cells. But any kind of vegetable is helpful -- people who eat more than two servings of vegetables per day ...Read more
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 -- Exfoliate!
Dry, cold weather can cause dead skin cells to build up. Even if you don't usually use an exfoliator, now's a good time to start. You can also use a puff or a loofah. Use moisturizer afterwards to keep your skin soft.
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 -- Accessorize for Winter
Choose accessories that complement your winter coat. Heavy down parkas look great with knits, like striped scarves and ski caps. Pea coats are especially flattering with a cream-colored skull cap and mittens, and shaped wool coats go best with "girly" accessories like berets and cashmere scarves in pastels.

You can be pleased with nothing when you are not pleased with yourself.
Health and Beauty Tip -- When to Use Facial Treatments
Cream, under-eye treatment, moisturizing lotion, or almost any such product works best at night, so apply it right before going to bed. If you use a lotion or moisturizer on your face, it's a good idea to use it on your neck and arms, too.
