Health and Beauty Tip -- Exfoliate!

Health and Beauty Tip -- Accessorize for Winter

If you have red or pinkish undertones, go with a cool red with a pinkish or bluish undertone, or even a pure red -- but no orange-based reds!

Health and Beauty Tip -- Picking a Purse
If you're the type who likes to have everything on hand, make your next purse a lightweight one with rolled or thick straps. Thin straps are uncomfortable to carry when your purse is heavy, and are better suited for women who don't carry much in their bags.
