1. Your foundation will look only as good as the skin underneath. To get an even, smooth look, cleanse and exfoliate regularly.
2. If you have sensitive skin and are prone to allergic reactions make sure you test new cosmetics on a small patch either on the inside of your arm or your neck. If after 24 hours you don't have a reaction it is safe to use the product.
3. If you have acne or find you cannot use any skin care products without getting an allergic reaction or dry itchy skin, make an appointment with a dermatologist.
4. Use mascara sparingly. Using too much will make your eyelashes stick together and form into blobs. Dip your brush only once to do both eyes making sure you twist, not pump the brush.
5. No matter how tempting it might be to drop into bed after being out late, don't do it. Your skin will thank you if you remove all traces of makeup and apply your skin care cream before going to bed.
6. Take care of the skin around your neck as well as your face by applying moisturizer. This is a delicate area which is quick to show wrinkles.
7. Cosmetics do not last forever and using old products can cause irritations. Here are some guidelines:
* Foundation - 1 year
* Concealer - 1 year
* Powder - 2 years
* Mascara - 3 months
* Lipstick - 1 year
* Eye pencil - 1 year
* Eye Shadow - 1 year
* Powder Blush - 2 years
* Cream Blush - 6 months
* Moisturizer - 1 year
* Eye Cream - 1 year
* Sun Screen - l year

Tips for Protecting the Home Computer
Botnet programs and other malicious software largely take aim at PCs running the Microsoft Windows operating system, because Windows’ ubiquity makes it fertile ground for network-based attacks.
Using a non-Windows-based PC may be one defense against these programs, known as malware; also, anti-malware programs and antivirus utilities for the PC are available from several vendors.
Microsoft entered the computer-security business last year and now offers a free malware-removal tool read more
Tips to Build a Deer Stand for Hunting Deer According to Marty Prokop
Deer hunting expert Marty Prokop teaches how to build a safe & secure deer hunting stand.
Rice Lake, WI, January 06, 2007 --(PR.COM)-- Before you build a deer stand, make sure to check your local hunting regulations. On public land you can usually carry in a portable deer stand and remove it when you leave for the day.
If you are on private land owned by someone else, make sure to get the landowner’s permission to build a deer stand.
Once you have determined it is legal to build a deer stand, next you have to determine if you want a portable deer stand or permanent deer stand.
Marty Prokop says, “When it comes to a portable, you can build a deer stand but with prices as reasonable as they are it’s much more cost effective, especially when you factor in your time, to purchase a ready-made deer hunting treestand.”
Build a Deer Stand Tip # 1
“Do you want to build a deer stand attached to a tree or as a stand alone structure? How many people are going to be in your deer stand? How large do you want it? What weight will your stand need to hold?” Marty Prokop asks.
