How To Clean Your House In Hurry
You're lying on the couch in your living room, in one of your husband's old t-shirts and a pair of baggie sweatpants, watching last night's taped episode of Desperate Housewives, when suddenly - the phone rings. You don't recognize the number on caller ID and you make the mistake of answering it. It's your long lost best friend from the sixth grade. She's in town and she just happens to be in your neighborhood. She'll be over in 10 minutes, and your house is a MESS.So, how do you clean up for unexpected guests in 10 minutes or less?!1.
Stay calm!2. Do a clean sweep. Grab a trash bag or laundry basket and gather up everything that is lying around that shouldn't be, and throw it into the bag. Hide the bag.3. Plump up pillows on couches and chairs in living room, fold blankets.
Give each cushion a swat for crumbs.4. Stack mail, newspapers and magazines in a nice, neat pile. Stick the pile in a corner or on a kitchen chair.5. Give the bathroom a speedy sprucing up! Wipe out the sink, wipe off the toilet seat and quickly swish the bowl. Then, close the shower curtain, and throw odds and ends in cabinets or drawers.
Spray some air freshener so the bathroom will smell clean - even if it's far from it.6. Rinse off any dishes in the sink and stack them neatly or toss them in the dishwasher. Wipe off the table and counter tops.7. Take a peek inside the fridge - what beverages and snacks do you have that you can offer your guests?8. Close the doors to all rooms that you don't want on display.9.
Light a yummy scented candle in the kitchen - like Cinnamon Buns or Chocolate Cake. Lighting a few scented candles will uplift the mood of your home and make guests feel welcome. Throw some fruit in a bowl and place it in the center of your table. Fresh flowers also do wonders, if you have them on hand.10. Take a deep breath.
Give yourself a squirt of perfume and you're all set! You may even have enough time to get changed into something a little more presentable.Cleaning up for unexpected guests does not have to be a mad rush, if you stay caught up on your housework as a rule. A friend of mine gave me some really good advice right after my husband and I got married, she said "The best way to keep a clean house is to entertain in your home at least once a month." There's nothing like having company coming to get cleaning!.

Copyright 2005 Michael Brooks
Although many people believe that eczema and dermatitis are separate conditions, they are actually one and the same.
The most common form of this skin condition is atopic eczema. Depending on what study you read, there are between 18 and 34 million people that exhibit symptoms of eczema.
Atopic eczema is often genetic and can be associated with a family history of environmental sensitivities and allergic conditions like asthma or hay fever.
What are the symptoms?
One of the most common symptoms associated with eczema is extreme itchiness.
Speaking from experience, once you start scratching it is hard to stop.
You can rub your skin raw trying to get rid of the unbearable itch.
Other common symptoms include:
Rash on the legs, arms, hands and neck (most common but other areas can be involved)
General dry skin even when eczema is not active...

Los Angeles, CA (ContentDesk) August 19, 2005 -- In a hot pink house in Los Angeles, California, a photography studio run by two women has become the site of a growing trend ? wives and girlfriends of soldiers stationed overseas in Iraq or Afghanistan are wanting to send a different kind of care-package to their men. Instead of cookies and magazines, they are sending sultry photographs of themselves in the form of prints, books and yes, even calendars! Nowadays, the centerfolds taped to the boys' foot lockers may just be their own girl back home.All things "retro" are back in. "The look the women are going for when they come in for a photo shoot is that vintage-style posing made famous by such classic pinups as Betty Grable and Jane Mansfield," says Lori Mann, photographer and co-owner of Pink Kitty Studios. "The gals often wear classic clothing, and we have lots of props that are throw-backs to that WWII era."
Vintage hair and make-up styling is also essential, and trained...

Mom Makes a Better Shampoo for Babies and Everyone Else
Adena Surabian never figured she'd be looking up chemical compounds on the internet, but that's exactly what she did when her one-year-old daughter broke out in a mysterious rash all over her body. After trying for days to find the cause of her daughter's blotchy and inflamed skin, Adena sat down at the computer with an armful of products?everything from shampoo and conditioner to sunscreen and baby lotion. Though she couldn't even pronounce some of the ingredients on the labels, Adena researched each and every item she regularly put on her daughter with increasing dismay. She discovered that many of the elements in these commonly used products came with biohazard warnings or were listed as potentially harmful in certain conditions. Although she ultimately discovered that her daughter was allergic to the sunscreen, Adena could not, in good conscience, continue to use the other hair and skincare products in her cabinet.
So, she turned to nature for a more wholesome way to care...

Garden Photography
As the seasons change the colour of your garden will change with it. Most gardens are a rich source of great colours, patterns and vivid textures and can make for a perfect setting to practice all different kinds of photography - especially close-up nature photography.
Your garden can be one of the most wonderful places to take images of flowers, insects and a variety of small birds - and if you are lucky, occasionally other types of wildlife might wander into your garden.
You don't need great sunshine to go out into the garden - overcast days are always great days to get into the garden and capture the majestic colours of flowers.
Flower photography can be challenging, but when done right is most rewarding.
The key to getting good flower pictures is pretty straightforward - get in close. You don't need to buy a macro lens to achieve this, a good telephoto lens on a tripod should do.
