• Create a softening soak - remove old polish, then pour a cap full of a salt-based foot soak, into a basin of warm water; submerge your feet for 10 minutes. The salt helps to soften skin and cuticles.
• Cut and file – use a clipper to trim your toenails straight across so they’re about even with the top of your toes (leave just a hint of white tip). Next, use an emery board to softly round the outer edges of each nail.

Friends are coming and your house is a mess? No worries. Follow this advice from Julie Edelman, author of The Accidental Housewife, and you’ll have a neat, party-ready place in no time.

Get out the baskets – It’s OK to hide stuff in plain sight (i.e., magazines in a basket near the sofa, remote controls in a basket near the coffee table). It’s a trick Edelman calls “reshifting,” and it’ll not only make your home look organized but also ensure that you’ll be able to find key things later.

Pretty up the clutter - Got junk everywhere? Make it a decorative element—stack books horizontally and vertically on tables and floor, put cooking utensils in a cheerful water pitcher, fan out magazines in a fun way on the coffee table.

Don’t forget about the bathroom - Pull out disinfectant wipes and quickly clean the key surfaces. For the toilet bowl, drop a couple of effervescent tablets or pour a can of soda into the bowl; let it fizz for 20 minutes, then flush.

Suck it up - Sorry, but vacuuming is a must. Just run the vacuum quickly through the house. It’ll pick up little pieces of paper and dust and make your place look more polished instantly.

Perhaps, you’ve heard all the warnings by your mother growing up. “Don’t eat too much chocolate, you’ll break out!” You’d have to sneak out of the house to get a chocolate fix. And if you were like most kids, you did anything to get that fix.

Chocolate has been blamed for many ailments including acne, tooth decay, obesity, and lacking of food value. It has also been known to have an anti-depressant effect, cause hypertension and even have an aphrodisiac effect.

We know that chocolate is basically harmless unless, like everything else, it is over-consumed. Chocolate has been found not to cause nor aggravate outbreaks of acne. These results are backed up by further research that shows acne in no way is affected by chocolate.

Recent scientific studies have suggested chocolate boosts the serotonin in the brain that produces a calming effect and stability. Stress has been identified as a cause of acne. If chocolate stimulates the serotonin and calms the nerves, then chocolate could ironically be found to assist in acne restraint.
