Whiten Underarm

2008-06-02T09:02:00.001-07:00

Want to get rid of dark underarms? Stop using hair removal cream on your underarms and start waxing, and do it regularly. Underarms generally look dark due to thick hair under the skin, caused by shaving. Waxing removes hair from the root, so there is no hair under the skin, and the underarms look clean. Also, regular waxing reduces hair growth over a period of time. How long it takes differs from person to person. Often, as soon as you wax for the first time after shaving for a long time, your underarms look much cleaner and lighter.

This is because the hair is a lot thicker, so the wax gets a good grip and pulls it all out.

Perking up

2008-06-02T08:56:00.000-07:00

Whatever your hair's condition,a regular dose of pampering can lift your spirits and your foolicles when the weather is otherwise bringing you down.

Check out this tips:

Wash and condition your hair daily. Especially those grubby urban atmospheres. Think of your hair as an extension of your skin.

Eat a well-balanced diet. Little bits of all kinds of food will provide the full complement of vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbs and oils.

Get a trim every six to eight weeks to stop ends splitting and breaking.

If you are using heating tools, apply a protective serum and always keep the appliance moving through the hair.

If your hair is dry, use a deep-conditioning treatment. It it's also damaged, the treatment won't fix the hair, so it's best to get it trimmed.

Just in case...

2008-06-02T08:54:00.000-07:00

If you are caught in a thunderstorm do you know what to do?
Here's the thing for you:

Take shelter in a car or building. Don't use electrical equipment. including the telephone. and stay away from windows and metal, such as pipes and radiators. If you are outside, never take shelter near or under a lone tree, and keep away from the open ground and ridges.
Shelter, instead, in a cave; in a wood, avoiding high points.

Crouch down, keeping your feet together, or curl up into a ball.
Discard metal items, such as golf clubs, spades and bicycles. So next time, just in case
you'll be caught in a thunderstorm you know what to do.

Mixed Mushroom Pasta

2008-06-02T07:52:00.000-07:00

Porcini mushrooms are extremely popular in Italy and many regions hold festivals in the fall when porcini are plentiful using this hearty, earthy mushroom in every dish imaginable.

This pasta sauce recipe uses a mix of fresh portobello and dried porcini mushrooms and is best served on hard, short pasta such as rigatoni, penne, or an artisan pasta such as trenne pasta.

When shopping for dried porcini, look for pale colored stems with light brown caps. The dried porcini should also have a light mushroom aroma rather than a yeastlike smell.

It is an unwritten rule that you do not mix cheese with seafood, spicy dishes, or mushroom based pastas but I like a little grated Parmesan cheese on this pasta.

Here's the recipe for you to try.

Ingredients

3 cups mixed mushrooms, chopped (white, portobello, shiitake, etc.)
1 medium onion, diced
1/4 cup butter
5 cups white rice, cooked
soy sauce, to taste
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup green onion, sliced

Directions:

In a large skillet saute mushrooms and onion in butter until soft.

2. Stir in cooked rice, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and green onions. Cook until heated through and serve immediately.

How to serve finger food

2008-06-02T07:44:00.001-07:00

Ease the mess for guests with these presentation tips for casual entertaining.

Morsels should be small enough to be eaten in one mouthful.

Check the temperature. Hot food doesn't mean hot enough to burn your tongue.

if you are putting out communal food platters, such as antipasto or tapas, be sure to supply toothpicks or mini-forks. And provide an empty bowl for the used forks, olive stones or prawn tails.

Don's stack multilayered sandwiches in a continuous line; arrange them so that it's easy to pick out an individual serve neatly.

Now, you are ready to serve finger lickin' foods!

Apple Pancakes For You!

2008-06-02T07:26:00.000-07:00

From a simple fruit, you can turn apple into something very special for the kids and for your loved ones.

Here are the ingredients:

1 C flour
2 T sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 C milk
1 T vegetable oil
4 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced.

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.

In another bowl, combine wet ingredients, minus the apple. Add to dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Gently fold in the sliced apples.

Heat skillet over medium heat. You can tell if your skillet or griddle is hot enough by flicking a drop or two of water on its surface. The water should skitter around and quickly evaporate if the pan is hot enough.Pour batter onto a lightly greased hot griddle or skillet 1/2 cup at a time and spread to form a 5-inch circle.

Cook pancakes for about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. Turn when bubbles form (see photo) and continue cooking until golden brown and apples are tender. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar if desired.

Serve immediately or keep warm on a baking sheet in a 200° F oven until all pancakes are cooked.

These makes about 12 pancakes.
