Health and Beauty Tip -- Pumpkin Seeds

Have you ever toasted pumpkin seeds at Halloween? Don't wait until the holiday to eat them. Pumpkin seeds are a great source of iron, zinc, calcium, and magnesium, and area also high in omega-3. One handful a day makes a big difference.

I'm not going to vacuum 'til Sears makes one you can ride on.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Applying Moisturizer

When applying moisturizer as part of your daily routine, make sure not to use it directly around your eyes -- this skin is more likely to retain fluid, and moisturizer will make the under-eye area appear puffier. But do remember to use some on your neck and throat; skin can become dry there, too.

My husband and I are either going to buy a dog or have a child. We can't decide to ruin our carpet or ruin our lives.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Check Your Water

No matter what kind of facial cleanser you use, check what kind of water you have access to. Hard water can be just as detrimental to skin as plain soap, and can dry it out.

Thirty-five is when you finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.

Health and Beauty Tip -- "Firming Up" Your Chin

To hide a double chin, get some brownish-rose blush and brush it along your jawline from just below your ears to your chin. Use a very small amount of white powder on the tip of your chin to complete the slimming effect.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Eat Right to Counter PMS

If you don't like vitamin supplements or over-the-counter drugs, you can counter PMS by changing your diet. Pasta, vegetables, and whole grain cereal and bread can help alleviate PMS symptoms.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Strengthen Your Nails

I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Choosing Powder
