It's possible to "overwash" your face, especially if you have oily skin you're trying to dry out. Overwashing can actually cause, rather than prevent acne, as well as rashes and dermatitis. If you have any of these symptoms, consider switching products.

To fight off static cling, keep a dryer sheet in your purse and rub it on the underside of your skirt or pantyhose.

"I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear."

Not only are long nails "out," they're also inconvenient! If you're on a computer on a regular basis, you're likely to break your nails as you type. Short, rounded nails look best, and are much more comfortable when you work or type.

We owe something to extravagance, for thrift and adventure seldom go hand in hand.

If your favorite moisturizer has SPF protection, buy a different kind to use at bedtime. Your skin doesn't need the extra ingredients at night.

The head never rules the heart, but just becomes its partner in crime.

Bobs look great on just about anyone -- blunt, short ends at the chin complement the shape of most faces. If you have a round face, though, ask your stylist for other options; cuts that end at the chin can make your face appear rounder.

If you realize too acutely how valuable time is, you are too paralyzed to do anything.

If you have curly hair and are prone to frizz, keep two conditioners on hand. Use a heavy one every time you wash your hair, and a deep one to use once a week. Frizzy hair can never be overconditioned!

If age imparted wisdom, there wouldn't be any old fools.

For a refreshing trick that's also good for your skin, mix two tablespoons green tea with half a cup of water. Sweep the mixture over your face with a cotton ball and let it evaporate -- you don't need to wash it off.

Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.

If you're not satisfied with your toner, or want to try something different, use lemon juice instead. Its natural disinfecting and cleaning properties are popular with models, and is a refreshing alternative to other toners. Make sure you don't have any lemon or citrus allergies first.

If you want to say it with flowers, a single rose says: "I'm cheap!"

If your fingers and nails are stained from nicotine or dark nail polish, use a toothbrush and whitening toothpaste to scrub the stains away.

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

Women with shorter hair tend to look better with a full color job than with highlights. Medium to long hair looks wonderful with highlights, especially if your hair is also long around the face.

Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well.

If you need to cover your roots and don't have time to dye, use eyeshadow! Spray on a little hairspray, then pat a little eyeshadow along your visible hairline. Gold works best with blonde, and brown works best for dark hair or for covering gray.
