Health and Beauty Tip -- Loose Buttons

Got a loose button on a jacket but don't have time to sew it back on just yet? Use a dab of clear nail polish on the threads to hold it in place ... until you can find your sewing kit, that is.

Quote of the Day

"You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try."

Health and Beauty Tip -- Buy Extra

If you find black slacks or skirts that you like, buy an extra pair. Black fades quickly, but having an extra will keep your favorite clothes from wearing out too quickly.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Taking Care of Bras

Storing your bras incorrectly may cause the underwires to poke out after just a few wearings. To keep them from getting twisted, store your bras on a hook in your closet, rather than in a dresser drawer.

The First Lady is an unpaid public servant elected by one person --- her husband.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Good Scents

When bringing out clothes that have been in storage for awhile, try using lightly-scented water when ironing. Add some to your iron and, using the steam setting, brush it gently over your clothing. Lavendar water is a good one to use, but try any subtle scent you like.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

When I appear in public, people expect me to neigh, grind my teeth paw the ground and swish my tail --- none of which is easy.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Selecting Hosiery

Make your legs look longer and slimmer by matching your hose as closely as possibly to your skirt and shoes. For two-toned shoes, wear a neutral color, or try to match the lightest color in the shoes -- never wear hose darker than this!

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

There are lots of ways of being miserable, but there's only one way of being comfortable, and that is to stop running round after happiness. If you make up your mind not to be happy there's no reason why you shouldn't have a fairly good time.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Dress Monochrome

If you want to look taller and slimmer, try wearing one color from head to toe. Not only does it work on everybody, but it's also trendy among fashion designers!

Quote of the Day

A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Face-Slimming Hairstyles

For most people, a shoulder-length cut makes the face appear slimmer -- avoid hair that is too long or too short. Use layers instead of straight lines to give your hair more body, and consider highlights in vertical sweeps. Of course, it's always best to ask your stylist's opinion!

Quote of the Day

Some think it's holding on that makes one strong; sometimes it's letting go.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Simple Ways to Stay in Shape

You don't have to sign up for a special class or take up a new sport to stay in shape -- just keep moving! Everything from mowing the lawn to playing ball with your friends keeps you moving, which keeps you feeling better.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

"If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory.
