Sun Protection – How Much Sunscreen?

Jim — Fri, 28 May 2010 19:50:51 +0000

On a typical day you should expect to use about a shot glass full on sunscreen for exposed skin. If you are going to the beach expect to use more as you are exposing more skin. Also reapply it every hour as sweat and water will dilute your protection.

Free Decorating – Colored Vases

Jim — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:00:42 +0000

Liven up clear vases and add color to your room based on your moods. Just add a couple food coloring to the water in the vase. The colored water shows nicely through the vase and you now have a designer touch for something you already have on hand in your house. You can also experiment with mixing colors. Added bonus you don’t have to wait till Easter to play with food coloring.

Easy Way to Eat More Veggies (Or Get Your Kids to Eat Veggies) – Hamburgers

Jim — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:00:55 +0000

Everyone loves hamburgers. Well almost everyone. But Veggies are another story. Mix 1 cup chopped onions, garlic and mushrooms sautéed in olive oil to 1 pound of ground beef. You have just added veggies to your diet and it did not taste bad. The flavor of the meat hides the yucky taste. Add a piece of lettuce to the bun and you have simply added veggies to your diet.

Reading Labels – Whole Grain

Watch your packages. To be labeled a “good source of whole grains” the food must contain 8 to 15 grams per serving. It may meet want you want but check for preservatives, sugar and fats that you want to avoid. Just because it is labeled “healthy” doesn’t mean it is.

Reading Labels – Organic

Watch your packages. Organic snacks can contain the same number or more calories and additives that the non-organic chips, cookies and crackers. Also it may have just as many preservatives, sugars and fats that you want to avoid. Just because it is labeled “healthy” doesn’t mean it is.
