My husband swears that women look better without make-up, so do we apply it for the sake of other women or for the men?

If we do it for men, I think he might have a point. They aren’t into shoes either.

Makeup substitutes (good for you and your skin too!) include:

makeup remover: olive oil or baby oil
shaving cream: baby oil
lip gloss: vaseline
dry hands: tomato ketchup – just wash after use!
hair gel: vaseline
blemishes: toothpaste dabbed on overnight
lotion: coconut oil or coconut milk
toner: apple cider vinegar with drop or two of essential oil for the smell (which fades fast anyway).
deodorant: equal parts baking soda and coconut oil
tooth whitener: pure baking soda on a toothbrush

Where would we be without cables for all the new tech gadgets we have?

Well, a lot better off financially!

No other tech product I now is so overpriced!

Make sure you check around online before ever plonking down $20-$30 a cable.

HDMI cables? Some crooks are charging uop to $200.

Just search around online.

Most just don’t perform as well as you can do.

Much of the time they suggest products that are known poor performers because they gain commissions for doing so.

Who else would you employ to do a worse job than you more often than not, and then have to pay a fee for the  privilege?

Got a headache? I am not surprised – if you are paying top price for brand name heachache pills.

Always ask at the chemist for generic drugs if available.

They are often exactly the same the substance (headache pills for example).

No-one in their right mind would deliberately pay for a product they can easily get for free. But people do.

The quality difference between tap water and bottled water is – in a great many cities (though not all) – so slight as to be negligible. And, who would think it?, much bottle water actually contains more germs and mineral imbalances than tap.

Just say no.
