Olive Oil In Your Beauty Routine?
We all know that olive oil is wonderful and healthy for us to cook with, but what about its other uses? Truthfully, olive oil is another main ingredient in several beauty products you can buy on the shelf. See for yourself how you can make your own skin cocktails and save a little money at the same time. 1. A mixture of 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup vinegar, & 1/4 cup water used as a night cream will make your skin glow. The olive oil softens and moisturizes and the vinegar lightens discolorations, kills bacteria and loosens dead skin cells.
Splash water on your face before applying. 2. Olive oil can be used as cleansing cream if your skin is dry. 3. For a facial, wet face thoroughly, then massage olive oil into your skin.
Use about a half teaspoon of sugar and scrub your face with that, then wipe off gently with a warm, wet cloth until the sugar is all gone. 4. Use olive oil on your feet with clean white cotton socks. Helps to soften up you feet and it absorbs better than baby oil. 5.
It seems when you pour olive oil out there is always a drip, so wipe it up with your hand and rub it in to your elbows. Wonderful softening properties.6. Use olive oil as bath oil. Two to three tablespoons will do the trick. 7.
Use olive oil for your hair. Not only does it condition, but it also gets rid of the frizz. Put a small drop into your palm & then rub both hands together & apply it to dry hair. Just a few of the many creative uses for olive oil in your skin care routine. Not only is it cheap, but it will go alot further than most products you can buy.
Have fun and be creative..

How To Cut Your eBay Fees By More Than 90%
Now, are you ready for the REAL TRUTH about selling on eBay? It's simple; don't list too many items for sale using their auction format. Instead, set up one of their stores. The cost starts at just $15.95 per month. Why is this a good idea? Let's do the math: If you list an item for sale using the auction format, the cost is anywhere from $.35 on up to several dollars PER AUCTION. What's worse is that the auctions are only good for 3, 5, 7, or 10 days.
BETTER WAY: Sell the item in your eBay store. The listing price is just 2 or 3 cents per item...and get this...They're good for a FULL 30 days! For example, I recently sold a $500 item that I listed in my eBay store. The listing cost me a whopping 3 cents! The same item, if I'd sold it using the auction format, would have cost me several dollars! Using eBay's Auction format to list 500 items at a minimum of $.35 each = $175.00 (and these are only good for 7 days each so you'd have to list them 4 times each per month) $175 x 4 =...

How to wear Capri Pants ? Summer 2006
Capri pants are a style of trousers that end somewhere near the mid-calf and above the ankle. They are designed to show off the ankles and calves. They are comfortable, look good on young girls through to older women. They can look casual or elegant depending on the top and shoes worn with them. As capris make the legs look shorter, petite females should go for a longer style capri.
Capris should be close fitting, but not skin tight, and are straight legged or with a slight flare.
Do not wear capris where the leg gets smaller or which have too large a flare. They should be made of lightweight material.
For the elegant look choose capri pants made of silk, linen or cotton.
Capri pants look best with flat shoes or shoes with very low heels ? no high-heels and definitely no socks, and as capris are lightweight, trainers are out.
For the capri pants casual look on holiday or on the beach, wear canvas flat shoes or flip-flops.
