Most women wear make-up because they want to look good. I know that’s why I wear it. But sometimes women have base lines on their face. That’s not a pretty sight. If you want to get rid of the base lines here’s what you need to do. Start on your forehead and make your way down you face. Don’t just put the base anywhere on your face. That’s tacky. Start on your forehead, then put some base on either side of your face. Then put some on your noes and then on your chin. After your face is covered you need to see about neck. Now when you put liquid base on your neck you cant just put it on, it’s kinda like painting a picture. You start with either the right or left side. You make sure you put it on your neck and rub it on the back of your neck. That way you don’t have a base line on your neck. While doing that make sure you go down your chest with the base. You don’t want a base line on your neck. Make sure you do that on the right and left side of your neck. Also rub it in the middle of your neck. This will give you a flawless look and no base lines.
Homemade Garlic Bread
Who doesn’t like garlic bread?I surely do. But the ones at the store are full of things our bodies don’t need. Here is a very simple and delicious recipe for homemade garlic bread.
Loaf of french bread
Garlic powder
Butter
Cut open the french bread and spread butter all over. Then pur some garlic powder over the butter. Bake for approximately for 10 minutes or until it’s done on 350.
Everyday Uses for Trash
We all have trash. Our trash cans are full of trash. But did you know there is a way to reuse some of your trash and not have to add to the landfills? Well I am going to give you some tips on how to reuse your trash. Take for instance butter. We but the tubs of butter. After all the butter is used, I wash the tub out and I have an extra dish. I use it for salad or storing leftovers. It is a lot cheaper than buying Tupperware every 6 months. They don’t break and the colors don’t bleed on the insides like on the Tupperware. And plus the tubs of butter only cost maybe 2.00. That’s a big savings when Tupperware can start at 20.00 for just a few pieces.
Next I am going to talk about old jars. If you buy peanut butter and jelly don’t throw the jars away. Use it’s contents, wash out the jars and use them to save change. Cut a slit in the lid and save your change. They are cheap and a good way to start a savings.
Printing cartridges. Everyone used them. If you have a printer at home don’t throw out the used printer cartridges. Go to Office Depot and bring them your used cartridges and you get a discount on new ones.
If there is anything you want to know about Everyday Uses or have a question, leave me a comment and I will be happy to answer.

Easy ways to cut 100 calories at every meal
We are all cutting calories to watch our weight. Here is an easy and affordable way to do so.
1. Instead of one croissant, eat two pieces of whole-wheat toast with a smidge of butter or cream cheese on each slice.
2. Scoop out the white-bread inside of your plain bagel.
3. Order or whip up an egg-white scramble with two pieces of turkey bacon rather than a whole-egg omelette with two pieces of pork bacon.
4. Use 4 tablespoons of hummus instead of 2 tablespoons of regular mayonnaise on your sandwich. Or go with mustard which is practically calorie-free.
5. Dress your salad with 1 tablespoon each of oil and vinegar in place of creamy ranch dressing.
6. Eat your French or Italian bread sandwich/hero open-faced so you consume only one slice of bread.
7. Opt for a 1-cup serving of no-butter microwave popcorn rather than munching on a bag of potato chips.
8. Snack on a medium size cup of low fat frozen yogurt in lieu of a candy bar.
9. Skip the croutons, have the Parmesan dressing, and say no to extra cheese on top of your Caesar salad.
10. Eat two part skim string cheeses instead of a plate of three crackers with whole mild cheese cubes.
11. Skip the cheese and sour cream that often come as toppings on a bowl of chili or a baked potato.
12. Pass on the roll or pretzel stick that arrives with your soup or salad.
13. Order your burger sans cheese.
14. Nosh on a handful of pretzels at the bar during happy hour rather than the same amount of nuts.
15. Say no when your server offers fresh grated Parmesan cheese on your pasta.
16. Replace your vodka tonic with a vodka soda. (Soda water, like regular water, has no calories.)
17. Dunk 10 tortilla chips in salsa, not guacamole.
18. Share a small order of spicy wings on the bone instead of breaded chicken wings.
19. When you cook at home, use a spray like Pam to coat the pan (spritz for one full second) instead of using a tablespoon of olive oil.
20. Put a dollop on Tru Whip on your slice of pie or cake rather 2 tablespoons of hot fudge or chocolate syrup.

6 foods not to order on a first date
When going on a first date you want to make a good impression, right? Well here are 6 foods you don’t want to order.
Spaghetti and tomato sauce- Eating spaghetti and tomato sauce is good but not good for your clothes. It will splatter all over and leave you wishing you had brought an extra change of clothes.
Escargots with butter and garlic-Escargot is good but again not good for the clothes. Butter can also splatter and you don’t want your breath smelling like garlic for the rest of the date. That is a big turn off.
Deep fried foods- What can I say about deep fried foods but greasy. If you do eat them, make sure you keep a lot of napkins handy and eat them with a knife and fork. You don’t want to get grease all over your date.
Salas with low-fat dressing on the side- Come on now ladies, we all want to keep our figure, but this is going a little to far. A man does not want to date a woman who eats like a bird.
Three-bean chili- Gas city. Do not and I repeat do not eat beans on a first date. You will have so much gas and your date will not know want to get to close to you for the rest of the date.
B.B.Q wings- Now I have to admit I love BBQ wings, but they are so messy. Again if you do eat them make sure you keep a lot of napkins on hand and repeatedly wiping your mouth.

Saving Money
We are all going throug a tough time right now with the way the emonomy is. It is easy to save money and still do things you like to do. Take Pizza for instance. A pizza at Pizza Hut or Domino’s will cost around 16-17.00 per large pizza. Wal-Mart has pizza’s for 3.00. They are not the kind that taste like cardboard either. Get a 3.00 pizza some extra pepperonis, mushrooms, green and red pepper and some sausage and there ya go. You now have a large pizza for around 10.00 or less depending on what toppings you want. Don’t get sucked into Pizza Hut and spend all your money on expensive pizzas when you can make your own at home.
