Health and Beauty Tip -- Great Hair at 40

Quote of the Day
Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Sunscreen vs. Sunblock
What's the difference? Sunscreen absorbs UV rays and scatters them, while sunblock reflects them entirely.

Quote of the Day
A kiss can be a comma, a question mark, or an exclamation point. That's the basic spelling that every woman ought to know.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Shower Gel
Believe it or not, those popular bath and shower gels can dry out your skin! You're better off using a simple moisturizing bar soap. If you still want to use body wash, check the ingredients and find something that doesn't contain sodium laurel sulfate -- that's what gives gels their negative effects.
Quote of the Day
Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Stop Frizzy Hair
If you've got a problem with frizzy hair -- especially if your hair is naturally curly -- limit use of any heated styling tools (including blowdryers) to 2-3 times a week. Let your hair air-dry for the rest of the week.
Quote of the Day
If you're afraid to let someone else see your weakness, take heart: Nobody's perfect. Besides, your attempts to hide your flaws don't work as well as you think they do.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Applying Product
Are you applying hair products correctly? Just spraying or applying it on top doesn't do much for your hair. Get the most out of your spray or gel by saturating your hair with the product, then combing through using a wide-toothed comb so every strand is coated.
Quote of the Day
No nice men are good at getting taxis.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Smooth Flyaways
For small, fine flyaways, don't layer on even more hairspray. Take a baby toothbrush, spray it with hairspray, and brush the flyaway hair gently into place.

Most women's magazines simply try to mold women into bigger and better consumers.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Touching up Gray Strands
Rather than doing a full dye job to cover a few gray hairs, buy a mascara wand and basic hair dye that matches your natural color. Use the wand instead of the brush that comes with the dye, and touch up the gray more quickly and with less mess than doing all your hair.

I stopped believing in Santa Claus at age six when my mother took me to see him in a store and he asked for my autograph.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Using Body Scrub at Home
If you have a good body scrub you use at home, scrub towards your heart when you use it. Start at your feet and work up to your torso. When doing your arms, start at the fingertips and work up to your shoulders. Massage gently in circular motions to avoid scrubbing too hard.
Quote of the Day
I don't visit my parents often because Delta Airlines won't wait in the yard while I run in.
Health and Beauty Tip -- 2-in-1 Shampoo
Is 2-in-1 shampoo really as good as they say? If you have normal, healthy hair, yes. But oily hair doesn't need extra conditioner, and dry hair needs even more conditioning than 2-in-1 shampoo offers. If you have dry hair, use regular separate shampoo and conditioner.
Quote of the Day
To attract men, I wear a perfume called "New Car Interior."
Health and Beauty Tip -- Lather, Rinse, Repeat?
If you have short or thin hair, you don't really need a second wash. But if you have longer, thicker hair, you may want to follow the advice on the bottle.
