Eyelash Extensions

Sure, eyelash extensions look great, when done right.  But be careful… the wrong adhesive and you could be in some serious discomfort.

Consumer Reports is warning women that the lashes may not be worth the danger.

You need to watch out for infection, allergic reaction, irritation,
and the loss of your own lashes.

Still sounds worth it?  Go to someone with a stellar reputation and test the adhesive before you attach it to your eyes.

PS… you look great just the way you are.

Is Aloe really good for burns?

My grandmother used to keep an aloe plant in her kitchen
window.  And whenever we would have a burn she would pluck off a leaf and squeeze out some aloe to sooth the pain.  Sad thing is… it’s not very good
for burns.

Yes… it soothes, but it isn’t antibacterial.  If put on an open wound it could actually
infect the burn. 

How to keep your berries fresh

Don’t you just hate it when you buy some fresh berries… trying to
be healthy and all, and they go bad within a few days.  Now, finally… a few easy and natural steps to keep your berries fresh for days, possibly even weeks.

Take 1 part vinegar…add to 3 parts water.  Soak the berries for a minute and then wash
off with cool water.  The vinegar is a natural disinfectant and mold killer.

Be sure to dry them thoroughly and store them in a paper towel lined container.

Enjoy your fresh berries…for a lot longer.
