Cheap Sunburn Remedy

It's summer already and beach bums are already hitting the beach. Soon enough, people complaining of sunburn is not uncommon.

Now do you know that milk is an effective alternative to remedy sunburn? Yes it is. Cheap and effective. Simply dip a cotton or an absorbent cloth on chilled milk and gently apply it on affected part.

So make sure leave some fresh milk in the refrigerator (just in case you need it for sunburn). Or you could store some fresh milk in the cooler that you're bringing to the beach. You'll never know when you need some - besides, it is a nutritious drink you can have even on the beach.

But as prevention, apply some sunscreen with a good SPF.

Bright, Bright World

Colors are actually the perfect eye catcher. For instance, in a huge crowd, a fellow with a bright pink hair will stand out more than those that are brown-haired.

So it goes without saying that bright colored clothings can also bring attention to the body. Hence, if you want to wear pieces of bright-colored clothings, make sure you wear them wisely and only on your most flattering body parts.

If you want to bring attention to your upper body, play with colorful blouses. But if you think your hip area is your asset, dress it up in gay colors.

Hik-kup!

Hiccups?

Maybe everybody knows that the old trick to "cure" someone with hiccups is to scare him off his wits. This has always been "the way" to do it in my family -and with my friends, too. Maybe because that seems the easiest to do.

But really there's another way. And that is to drink a glass of H2O slowly. Yes, simple as that. And you could also gulp a mouthful of water (without swallowing yet) and then plug your ears with your fingers. Then, swallow the water slowly.

Others suggest to keep a teaspoon of sugar -or make it a candy or easy melt chocolate - in your mouth and suck slowly.

I Collect Them

If I had to reveal something that not everyone knows about me, it would be that I love to collect international calling cards - among other stuffs. I have quite of a collection of these cards– and most coming from Japan and countries in the Middle East. And these have been part of my teenage years.

Though I haven’t been out of this country, these cards came from friends and loved ones who understood my fascination and were kind enough to send used cards to me. With the colorful designs and and picturesque sights on them, I feel my fascination is justified. I also think it's a fun way to learn since some of these cards include bits of information about a country.

Green World

I was checking some of my photo archives yesterday and found this one. This is my shot of the Papaya leaves. I played a little with this photo using Photoshop. But I didn't do anything major on this one.

Hurried Affair

Don't have much time to paint your face?

Focus on the eyes. A coat of mascara can pep up your look and give more life to your eyes. A single coat is just all you need.

If you still have time to spare, you may add a little eyeshadow to complement your attire.
