The following are some tips and tricks for your eyes that Sephora recommends.
ELONGATED EYES - Use an eyeliner brush to concentrate shadow close to the upper lash lines, dragging the color slightly past the outer corner of the eye to visually elongate the eyelids. Use a bright color for extra oomph.
YOUNGER-LOOKING EYES - Visually open and lift the eyes by using a pale shadow on the upper lids. Steer clear of powders since they can sink into wrinkles, emphasizing them.
BRIGHTER EYES - Make the whites of your eyes, and the flecks in your iris, glow with shadow, liner or mascara that has blue undertones.
WIDER APART EYES - Smudge dark shadow on the outer corners of the upper and lower lids. By gently smudging the line, the color will appear more diffused to further draw eyes apart.
DEEPER CREASES - Add depth to nonexistent creases or hooded lids with a shadow palette. Apply light shadow to the entire lid. Look into the mirror and blend a medium tone shadow in the indentation, between the eyeball and orbital bone. A primer and budgeproof mascara will help makeup stay put.
BIGGER EYES - If you've got smaller eyes use a white eye pencil on the inner-rims of the eyes to extend the whites of your eyes, making them appear larger.

Thought I'd share...
While doing some research, I came across the following article, thought it was interesting and that I should share it.
GLA: One Nutrient - Multiple BenefitsBy Dr. Allen S. JosephsCo-Founder & Chairman, Vitacost.com 01/16/2003
For many years, women have gone out of their way to consume a certain omega-6 essential fatty acid (EFA) found in borage oil (24% GLA), evening primrose oil (EPO, 9% GLA) and others.
The essential fatty acid is gamma linoleic acid (GLA). The benefits of this nutrient are numerous and long-established. They include helping with premenstrual syndrome, hormone synthesis, healthy blood pressure, weight loss and joint function, as well as improving the condition of your hair, skin and nails.
How much to consume, and in what ratio to the omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, on the other hand, is somewhat controversial.Now in a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers have helped to clarify this matter and prove another major benefit.In this study, 31 healthy women were assigned to one of four groups:
Group One received only 4 grams daily of EPA/ DHA
Group Two received 4 grams of EPA/DHA, along with 1 gram of GLA (ratio 4:1)
Group Three was given 4 grams of EPA/DHA with 2 grams of GLA (ratio 4:2)
Group Four was given equal amounts of EPA/ DHA, along with GLA (4 grams each, ratio 4:4)The study was conducted for a total of four weeks. It was found that those women who took essential fatty acids in the ratio of 4:2 and 4:4 (groups 3 & 4) had a tendency of reduction of LDL ("bad") cholesterol of approximately 12% over the 4-week study. When researchers used statistical analysis, it was estimated that the ideal combination of the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids lowered the risk of myocardial infarction over a ten-year period by up to 43%. This is absolutely amazing when you consider the low cost and safety of these products. We hear a lot about men's risk of heart disease, but more women die each year from heart disease (over ½ million) than men. The risk of women suffering from and dying due to heart disease is far greater than dying from all forms of cancer combined and many times greater than death from breast cancer.
Over the last several years, there have also been multiple studies published in the medical literature indicating that fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA) can reduce the risk of heart disease, including sudden death. In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers have found that the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil may improve cardiovascular function by keeping your arteries flexible. Other studies have proven the benefits of omega-3 EFAs for improving mood and promoting healthy vision. Vitacost proudly offers a product from Nutraceutical Sciences Institute (NSI) called Complete EFA. It contains a blend of several essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, including alpha linolenic acid, EPA/DHA from fish oil, GLA from borage oil, and linoleic acid. The ratio of EPA/DHA to GLA is approximately 4:3, which seems to be in the most ideal range, according to the study cited above. Three softgels a day provides about 350 mg of EPA/DHA and 288 mg of GLA, along with about 700 mg of ALA (which converts into omega-3) and 620 mg of linoleic acid.

For those of you that are interested...
I know that some of you reading this may think that I am an alarmist, but I'd rather be an alarmist than wait for some tragic event to take place in our public schools during an election to take some action.
For those of you that feel as strongly as I about having elections removed from our public schools while our students, and those that have dedicated their lives to educating them, are in attendance, I implore you to take action now and write to our officials.

Sunburn Risk Factors
With the warmer weather finally arriving here in the Northeast, I thought I might share the following:
Thursday, April 19, 2007Health Tip: Risk Factors
for Sunburn
The young and fair-skinned are at greater
risk(HealthDay News) -- Certain people are more susceptible to sunburn than
others because of age, skin type or medications they are taking. The U.S.
National Library of Medicine says these factors increase a person's risk of
sunburn:
Babies and children have skin that is more sensitive than adult
skin, so they are more likely to be badly sunburned if unprotected.
People with fair skin are more likely to get a
sunburn than people with darker skin -- although all skin types and complexions
can burn.
Certain medications, including some antibiotics and birth control
pills, can increase the likelihood of a sunburn.
Using a tanning bed can cause dangerous
sunburns.
Being outside during the sun's peak hours -- 10:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. -- and being on reflective sand or water can increase one's risk of severe
sunburn.

Creative Ideas
This past Saturday our municipal Enviornmental Committe hosted a Earth Day Celebration at our local high-school.
On display were projects created by our local school children that were made entirely from recyclable materials.
One creative pair made a table top pool table from paper towel rolls, paper, and tin cans. Also on hand was a bowling game made with empty soda bottles. One of my favorites.....a simple but GREAT reusable project. A liquid fabric softener bottle decorated with paint and with holes drilled in the lid to be used as a watering can. The kids really put a lot of effort into their projects and it showed. Very creative bunch.
The municipal shade tree commission also offered violets and a dogwood tree for raffle as well as offering seedlings and information on their care.
With summer days quickly approaching, my daughter and I got some great summer project ideas.

Take Voting Out of Public Schools!
In light of Monday's shooting at Virginia Tech, I find it completely incomprehensible that the County of Passaic, or any county for that matter, allows voting to take place in our public schools during school hours.
Who or what is going to stop an unstable "voter" from attacking either the staff and/or students? In this day and age, it's a necessity that our children be made aware of "stranger danger", yet during elections, we allow complete strangers access to our public schools.
Normally, my daughter's school is locked down like Fort Knox. You need to ring a bell and stand before a security camera in order to gain entry. During elections, strangers are allowed to enter this same school at will.
The idea that designated voting locations need to be a certain mileage from individual homes is absolutely ludicrous. Those who truly wish to vote will not be deterred from doing so just because they need to travel a few extra blocks.
Why is it that the convenience of voters is weighed more heavily than that of the youngsters and staff of our public schools?
I implore the residents of Passaic County, and every other county, to demand that the safety of our students, and our school staff be placed above mere the convenience of voters.

Grocery Shopping Online
I know that I've discussed this topic previously, but I can not believe how many moms out there are wasting time food shopping.
I know it sounds pompous, but you really need to give food shopping online a try. With Shop rite, for $10.00, they'll do your grocery shopping for you. For an additional $4.95, they'll deliver it. Personally, I prefer to pick mine up since you can only use your coupons if you're picking up your order.
I PROMISE you that shopping online will save you way more than the $10.00 it costs to have the store do your shopping for you. Since you aren't aimless wandering the aisles, there is no chance of buying items that you really don't need or want. No only that, since you won't be in the store with your child(ren), there is also no "Mom, I REAAAAAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYY want that, I SWEAR I'll eat it." nonsense.
I know that as a working mom whom has become very involved with the PTO, I just don't have the time to waste in the food store shopping. Not to mention, standing in line for a half hour or more, just to check out.
I implore you to give it a try. You'll be hooked after just one time.
