MIL vs MENANTU

2011-10-19T15:58:00.004+08:00

Maaf kiranya topik ini bisa membuatkan sesetengah pihak akan terasa mahupun tercuit hati. Tapi aku rasa ia wajar untuk diketengahkan kerana ada di antara kita sering memandang remeh akan hal sebegini. Walhal ia boleh menjadi barah yang maha bahaya yang senang - senang menular di kalangan kita.

Orang tua aku sering berpesan. Anggap la MIL seperti ibu kita sendiri. Ibu yang berjasa melahirkan kita di dunia ini dan bersusah payah serta bersengkang mata untuk membesarkan kita semua. Ya ku akui itu. Tapi bagaimana pula dengan mereka yang tidak bernasib baik yang mendapat MIL seperti gunting dalam lipatan.

Syukurlah sekiranya anda tidak perlu berhadapan dengan situasi sebegitu. Ada MIL yang sanggup memporak perandakan rumahtangga anak menantu semata - mata untuk kepuasan dirinya. Mereka sering beranggapan anak lelaki mereka adalah hak mutlak mereka. Sering mencampuri urusan peribadi rumahtangga anak mereka. Sehingga duit untuk isteri dipersoalkan kenapa perlu diberi sebanyak itu sedangkan dia sepatutnya mendapat habuan yang lebih banyak kerana dia telah membesarkan anak lelaki mereka.

Tidak cukup dengan itu, setiap gerak - geri anak menantu diperhatikan. Sanggup pula menjaja cerita tentang menantu pada kenalan juga jiran tetangga. Walaupun tidak tinggal sebumbung dia ada cara tersendiri bagaimana untuk mengetahui aktiviti menantu. Menipu dan melakonkan watak sedih adalah lumrah si MIL untuk disajikan kepada anak menantu. Agaknya kalau ada anugerah untuk MIL ZALIM, golongan ini la yang selayaknya memiliki trofi itu. Ironinya, tidakkah si MIL ini merasa bersalah dengan apa yang telah dia lakukan. Tidak mustahil juga rasanya si MIL ini akhirnya sanggup melakukan sesuatu di luar dugaan supaya anak dan menantunya bercerai.

Lain pula halnya dengan MENANTU yang tak sedar diuntung. Yang sesuka hati memperlakukan MIL seperti bibik dari seberang. Sampaikan seluar dalam sendiri pun MIL yang cuci, lipat dan simpankan. Urusan menjaga anak - anak diserahkan kepada MIL. Diri sendiri seenaknya membuta tak kira masa dan ketika. Boleh bersenang - lenang menonton tv rancangan kegemaran dari pagi sampai ke malam. Tidak pula ringan tulang untuk menolong membuat kerja rumah.

MENANTU ini memang kurang ajar juga tidak sedar diri. Sudah la menumpang di rumah MIL. Tapi berlagak seperti permaisuri dambaan ramai. Kalau muka macam kodok ditampal bedak dan badan macam dugong pakai korset usah berlagak seperti Miss Universe.

Bila MIL diperlakukan sedemikian rupa. Lain pula pada ibu sendiri. Bijak pula memberi alasan. Ibu tidak boleh melakukan kerja berat. Apatah lagi kalau kurang tidur. Nanti penyakit ibu datang lagi. Jadi ibu tidak boleh dibebani dengan masalah yang tidak sepatutnya. Ahhh... persis anak yang solehah.

Tidakkah si MENANTU ini ada otak untuk berfikir seketika. MIL pun sudah tua. Sepatutnya hari - hari tuanya diisi dengan amal ibadah. Ingin ke surau untuk mencari ilmu. Berehat setelah penat di waktu mudanya membesarkan anak - anak.

Kalau ada yang tersinggung ngan artikel ini aku mohon kemaafan. Tetapi kenapa pula perlu terasa kalau bukan anda pelakunya. Persoalannya kenapa wujud dua golongan ini di kalangan masyarakat hari ini. Kita kan 1 Malaysia. Tak kan tak faham bahasa kot. Renung - renungkan dan selamat beramal.

keluarga bahagia dambaan semua namun jika ada di antara kita yang busuk hati dan tidak ikhlas ia di ibaratkan cuba memeluk bayang - bayang di dalam mimpi

Apa yang dinyatakan di sini adalah melalui apa yang berlaku di sekeliling aku di kalangan teman - teman rapat juga di dalam keluarga aku. Sekadar meluahkannya di sini untuk dikongsi bersama anda semua. Jadikan panduan ke arah kehidupan yang lebih baik. Pandang pada sudut positif supaya kita faham apa maksud tersurat mahupun yang tersirat.

9 Habits That Can Do More Harm Than Good

2011-08-16T12:43:00.002+08:00

by Woman's Day, on Wed Aug 10, 2011 7:26am PDT

By Amanda Greene

The basics of staying healthy seem pretty easy to follow: Eat well, exercise, get enough sleep and you should be on the right track, right? Surprisingly, it can be more complicated than that. Oftentimes the very choices we make to benefit our health can be the same ones that hurt us in the long run. Read on to learn which unexpected habits—like brushing your teeth after every meal or slipping into a pair of comfortable sandals—might be causing you harm.

1. Compulsively using hand sanitizer.

If you reach for hand sanitizer any time you make contact with the outside world, you might want to take pause. Unless you’re in an especially germ-prone place like a hospital, soap and water will work just fine, says Richard Gallo, MD, PhD, chief of the Division of Dermatology at the University of California-San Diego. When you’re not near a sink, hand sanitizing gels can help, but be sure to read the label first. Recent research has shown that those containing triclosan may promote bacteria and virus resistance to antibiotic medications (this goes for antibacterial hand soaps that contain triclosan, too). Instead, choose brands like Purell, that contain at least 60% alcohol, which will kill 99% of bacteria on contact. Photo: Janine Lamontagne / iStock

2. Experimenting with skincare products.

Who isn’t tempted to buy the latest skin creams and serums promising to shed years from your face? While looking for something that works for you is a good idea, overhauling your routine every few weeks in search of the fountain of youth isn’t. “I’ve always encouraged my patients to create a daily regimen and stick with it,” says Jody Levine, MD, a dermatologist in New York City. “Women get easily bored with their beauty routine, especially if they don’t see results right away. It can take between six and eight weeks to see changes; if you’re using a product to increase collagen, expect to wait six months to see results.” She often cautions patients against constantly changing products, noting that it may cause adult rosacea (a condition that results in red, patchy and sometimes inflamed skin). “People may be forming sensitive skin by trying out too many different products with high levels of fragrance and other sensitizers,” Dr. Levine says. In lieu of always trying something new, stick with what works for you, or see your dermatologist to develop a new routine. And manage your expectations—according to Dr. Levine, a consistent regime should “keep your skin clear, clean and smooth. Make that your rule of thumb and don’t expect miracles, especially when it comes to over-the-counter antiaging products.” Photo: Shutterstock

3. Wearing flip-flops.

Forgoing sky-high heels and toe-pinching boots for the freedom of flip-flops is giving your feet a much-need break, right? Not exactly. Turns out, your summer shoes aren’t doing you any favors. According to Jordana Szpiro, DPM, a podiatrist and foot surgeon in Boston, “Flip-flops and other unsupportive sandals, which have no arch support and give no structural support to the foot, can lead to stress fractures since your uncushioned feet become strained when they try to support too much weight,” she explains. “Extensor or flexor tendinitis is also a common problem that happens as a result of trying to keep your flip-flips on—the muscles on top or underneath your feet overexert themselves while trying to grip your shoes.” She also advises against walking around shoeless, even if you’re by the pool or in your gym’s locker room. “Aside from not giving your feet any support, going barefoot can also be challenging for those prone to infectious skin diseases such as plantar warts and athlete’s foot, which are easily spread poolside, in pedicure salons and in gyms.” But that doesn't mean you need to spend your summer in closed toe shoes. Dr. Szpiro recommends comfortable sandals that also provide plenty of support, like styles from Fit Flops, OrthoHeel and Mephisto. Photo: Stockbyte / Thinkstock

4. Brushing your teeth after every meal.

Rushing to brush immediately after every meal may seem like a great way to keep your oral health in check, but according to Greg Diamond, DDS, a New York City periodontist, it’s better to hold off. Food can leave acid on your teeth, which can weaken the enamel, “and brushing while the enamel is in a weakened state can actually scrub the enamel away.” To dislodge any food particles that may remain after eating, he recommends simply rinsing your mouth out with water and saving the brushing for morning and night. Then when you do brush, be sure to do so in a circular motion. According to Dr. Diamond, this will improve your chances of removing harmful bacteria between the teeth and gums. Brushing up and down or back and forth, on the other hand, can leave behind harmful bacteria, causing gum disease; while applying too much pressure can lead to receding gums. Photo: Shutterstock

5. Doing only cardio when you work out.

It’s easy to assume that the best way to lose weight is to stick to the same cardio workout, but “if you only do cardio, your body will become so accustomed to the routine that you’ll start to burn less fat over time,” says Joseph Ciccone, DPT, CSCS, a physical therapist at ColumbiaDoctors Eastside Sports Therapy in New York. Plus, going through repeated motions on the treadmill or elliptical machine can create tight muscles and lead to injury. Trade in a few of your cardio workouts for circuit training, which involves doing a number of different strength training exercises with little rest between moves in order to keep your heart rate up while also working out your entire body, ensuring that you’ll burn the most calories—without burning out. Integrating resistance training into your routine will create muscle mass, which will help you burn more calories throughout the day, even when you’re at rest, says Jennifer Fleischer, exercise and nutrition coach and owner of Holistic Fitness in San Francisco. She also recommends revamping your cardio routine by mixing in interval training once a week. Try doing 30 seconds of high intensity motion, whether you’re on the treadmill, elliptical machine or in the swimming pool, followed by 90 seconds of recovery at a moderate pace, working your way up to 10 repetitions. The bursts of intensity followed by recovery will effectively and efficiently blast calories and fat. Photo: Shutterstock

6. Skipping meals to “save up” for later.

“Women have gotten into the habit of saving their calories for the fun stuff later on,” says Danine Fruge, MD, associate medical director at Pritikin Longevity Center + Spa in Miami. For example, many women will hold off on eating lunch so that they can have a few glasses of wine to unwind at the end of the day. Not a problem as long as you’re carefully allocating your calories, right? “Unfortunately when you don’t eat breakfast or lunch you can develop cravings and irritability, which can lead to overeating later on in the day,” she explains. A smarter approach to eating: Fill up on protein-packed meals and nutrient-rich snacks that'll keep your satisfied all day, so when dinnertime or cocktail hour rolls around you won’t be tempted to fill your plate with calorie-rich and high-fat foods.

7. Drinking only bottled water.

By reaching for a bottle of H20 you may think you’re doing your body some good by avoiding tap water, which can be filled with who-knows-what. But that's not the case. “Bottled water contains no fluoride, and we’re seeing more and more adults suffer from a fluoride deficiency, which can lead to tooth decay,” says Dr. Diamond. “Instead, fill your glass with water purified by a Brita or PUR water filtration system” which will keep your water free from impurities commonly found in tap water, but still allow you to reap the benefits of fluoride.

8. Cleaning with disinfecting products.

While keeping your home pristine and germ-free may seem like the path to perfect health, using cleansers that boast antibacterial or disinfecting properties could have the opposite effect. “These products haven’t been proven to be any more effective than regular cleaning products, and there is significant evidence that the chemicals in these disinfecting cleansers—called quaternary ammonium compounds––can lead to asthma,” says Rebecca Sutton, PhD, senior scientist at the Environmental Working Group. Other cleaning product chemicals to avoid include 2-butoxyethanol, which the Environmental Protection Agency considers a human carcinogen and has been linked to cancer; alkylphenol ethoxylates, which can disrupt hormones; and ethanolamines, which can cause asthma. But because cleaning product companies aren’t required to list most ingredients on their product labels (you can call or go online instead), it can be tough to know what to buy. However, Seventh Generation, an eco-friendly company, clearly lists their ingredients on their labels, so that's one option. Another, which Dr. Sutton recommends, is cleaning with a mixture of one part water and one part vinegar, or scrubbing surfaces with baking soda, both of which have natural antibacterial properties. She emphasizes that when it comes to ousting germs, the key is cleaning often and thoroughly—not blasting every surface with the harshest cleaner you can find. “Your goal should be to clean regularly,” says Dr. Sutton. “That way you’ll get rid of dirt, so there’s no place for bacteria to grow.” Photo: Shutterstock

9. Loading up on nutritional supplements

When it comes to vitamins and minerals, more is better, right? Not always, says Christine Rosenbloom, PhD, RD, professor emeritus at Georgia State University. “People often take nutritional supplements without really understanding what they’re consuming, or if they really need them.” Because so many foods are fortified these days, she notes that chances are many of us don’t have any major nutritional deficiencies. If you are already getting enough of what you need, the best case scenario is that the supplements will have no effect on you. But there are more serious side effects of carelessly popping pills: Vitamin A in large amounts can be toxic to a developing fetus, vitamin C in large doses can cause gastrointestinal distress as well as interfere with glucose readings in people on diabetes medications and too much vitamin B6 can cause nerve damage. Since a 2009 study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concluded that in the absence of a deficiency, eating food instead of taking supplements should be the primary way to fulfill nutritional requirements and deliver health benefits, Dr. Rosenbloom suggests visiting MyPyramidTracker.gov where you can input the foods that you eat daily and the site will tell you what you need to add to your diet. If you find out that you need to up your intake of, say, calcium, “try integrating calcium-rich foods into your diet, like a glass of skim milk or a spinach salad,” before making a beeline to the supplements aisle. If you do learn that supplements are the best choice to remedy a deficiency, look for "USP" printed on the label, which signifies that the pill meets the standards of the testing organization U.S. Pharmacopeia.

Spring Clean Your Body: Top 10 Detox Foods

2011-05-15T07:38:00.002+08:00

by The Editors at RealAge, on Fri Apr 29, 2011 11:26am PDT

Want to baby your liver? Keep your GI tract fit? Flush out toxins? These 10 foods -- many of them chosen by RealAge experts Drs. Oz and Roizen -- can spring clean your body and keep refreshing your vital parts all year 'round. No need to fast. Just take these three steps:

"Eat clean," avoiding processed foods and chemical additives.
Stay well hydrated by drinking lots of filtered water.
Include some of these 10 foods in several meals throughout the week.

The Detox Top 10

Leafy green vegetables. Eat them raw in a salad, throw them into a broth, steam them and mix with rice or add to an omelet, or puree them into juices. The chlorophyll in greens helps swab out environmental toxins (heavy metals, pesticides). It's also an all-around liver protector, which your liver needs since it's your major domo detoxifier.
Lemons. Fresh lemonade made with filtered water will keep you hydrated, and its vitamin C helps convert toxins into a water-soluble form that's easily flushed away. (Add some pureed greens -- see above -- to further bolster your C level.) Here's another cleanse that really works.
Watercress. Put a handful into salads, soups, and sandwiches. The peppery little green leaves have a diuretic effect that helps the flushing process. Plus cress is a mineral mine, rich in iron, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium.
Garlic. Add it to everything -- salads, sauces, spreads. In addition to the heart-friendly bulb's cardio benefits, it activates liver enzymes. Research also indicates that garlic diminishes a process that creates cancer-causing compounds in your body.
Green tea. This antioxidant-rich brew is one of the healthiest ways to get more water into your system. Bonus: It contains catechins, which speed up liver activity. Learn more about how to love your liver.
Broccoli sprouts. They pack 20 times more cancer-fighting, enzyme-stimulating activity into each bite than the grown-up vegetable. Research suggests that eating the sprouts (they have a radish-like taste) kills off H. Pylori bacteria that causes stomach irritation and ulcers.
Sesame seeds. They're credited with protecting liver cells from the damaging effects of alcohol and other chemicals. For a concentrated form, try tahini, the yummy sesame seed paste that's a staple of Middle Eastern cooking.
Cabbage. There are two main types of detoxifying enzymes in the liver, and this potent veggie helps activate both of them. It's the largest member of the Brassica veggie family, all of which delivers colon-cancer fighting isothicyanates and vitamin C. Coleslaw, anyone?
Psyllium. This plant's bursting with soluble fiber, which mops up toxins (cholesterol, too) and helps clear them out. Stir powdered psyllium into juice to help cleanse your colon, or have psyllium-fortified Bran Buds for breakfast. (Start with a small amount and gradually increase your dose as your GI tract becomes used to it.)
Fruits, fruits, fruits. They're full of almost all the good things listed above -- vitamin C, fiber, nutritious fluids, and assorted antioxidants. Besides, nothing tastes better than a ripe mango, perfect pear, or fresh berries.

Ultimate Detox Recipe: Easy Wilted Garlic-Sesame Salad

Toss dark green leafy vegetables in hot, garlicky oil for a cleansing -- and delicious -- dish.

4 servings, about 65 calories each

1 tsp. olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 lb. spinach, stemmed,

or 1 lb. Swiss chard, stems sliced, leaves torn

or 1 lb. mixture of spinach and watercress

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

1 tsp. sesame seeds for garnish

Warm oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir until lightly browned, about 45 seconds. Add greens (do in two batches if necessary) and toss until just wilted, 2 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

13 Ugliest Phones of the Mobile Era

2011-04-10T11:23:00.006+08:00

By Scott Moritz, The Street.com

Nokia 7600

Attractive cell phones are easy to find.

Ever since Motorola's Razr and, later, the Apple iPhone, manufacturers have had to work hard on pleasing designs. Gorgeous, giant glass fronts framed in elegant black, sleek steel or shiny chrome, smartphones pack brains and beauty.

But not always. Before the mobile phone industry got all busy with design makeovers and tummy tucks, there were -- and still are -- some delightfully hideous phones that represented the other side of the beauty trend. The Street has gone back through the past decade to dig up some of the best examples of designs that make you wince and stare in disbelief. The clueless stylings, the flights of fancy into odd shapes, the obsession with square versus rounded -- it is a wonderfully colorful history.

Here are 13 of the ugliest phones ever in this century:

No. 1: Nokia 7600

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. While Apple was changing the phone industry with a super-slim touchscreen iPhone in 2007, Nokia came out with this gem. (Shown above) It's not clear what inspired the small screen and the pig's ear shape, but it gets top honors in this contest. Any wonder why Apple is cleaning up in mobile, while Nokia is clearing out.

©Samsung/TheStreet illustration

No. 2: Samsung Cleo

Ah yes, the "lady" phone. The Samsung Cleo really hit the mark with this one. Pink is bad enough, but does square really speak to the female phone buyer? What a cute, ah ... cigarette case? um ... makeup compact? Oh, look at that, it's a phone!

©BlackBerry/TheStreet illustration

No. 3:Research In Motion BlackBerry 8700

Business folk cherished this squat, homely little phone. Who cared that it was pudgy and unapologetically plastic? One redeeming feature was the thumb wheel, which allowed hard-chargers to scroll through emails with one hand and, you know, master the universe with the other.

©Nokia/TheStreet illustration

No. 4: Nokia3620

Not to be outdone by those pesky Swedes, Finnish phone giant Nokia totally turned the tables on the Sony Ericsson T61z and made the 3620 with an oval bottom and a square top. Take that Ericsson.

©Sony Ericcson/TheStreet illustration

No. 5: Sony Ericsson t61z

It was a radical move by Sony Ericsson with the T61z phone. Do people want corners or curves? Let's give them both. Sony Ericsson made the T61z square on the bottom and oval on top. Brilliant. Who wouldn't like a phone shaped like a shoe-print?

©Nextel/TheStreet illustration

No. 6:MotorolaNextel i500

Police-tape yellow and shaped a lot like a firefighter's walkie-talkie, theMotorola Nextel i500 wasn't trying to be one of your pretty phones. It was aimed at first- responders of business. Tech crews and workers out in the field needed a rugged-looking phone on their belt; the i500 was the perfect accessory.

©Motorola/TheStreet illustration

No. 7:Motorola Flipout

Is there a demon whispering "make it square" in the ear of phone designers? Even the new Motorola couldn't resist the temptation. The Flipout, launched earlier this year, brings a whole new approach to square with its interesting corner hinge. Foxy? No. Weirdly boxy? Oh yes.

©Microsoft/TheStreet illustration

No. 8:Microsoft Kin

Teen phones are a questionable move by any company, but ugly teen phones like Microsoft's Kin beg the question: What were they thinking? At least the Sidekick, the Danger-made predecessor to the Kin, had a cool look. The boxy shape of the Kin almost assured Microsoft's phone failure. It only took two months of sales for Microsoft to kill the Kin.

©HTC/TheStreet illustration

No. 9: HTC Apache

Before HTC made sleek black phones, they cranked out clumsy, silver bricks like the Apache. The Apache was part of a pioneering smartphone effort by Sprint, Microsoft and HTC. The phone was hot, but not in a good way. And it was pocket-straining heavy. Let's just say HTC has done well not to follow the silver brick road.

©LG/TheStreet illustration

No. 10: LGVX9800

Two big speakers inside LG's horizontal flip phone didn't really compensate for the two puny display screens. LG, which had a decent track record with phones, apparently put aside its talents and let Verizon take over the design decisions. The VX9800 was intended to be a big vehicle for Verizon's VCast media offerings. Any wonder why Apple wouldn't play ball with Verizon all those years?

©Palm/TheStreet illustration

No. 11: Palm Treo 700p

Palm, now a division of HP, arguably invented the smartphone. But the signs of Palm's eventual demise were evident with this later generation Treo. While its contemporaries were slimming their designs, Palm's Treo 700 arrived not only thicker but heavier than its Treo 600 predecessor.

©LG/TheStreet illustration

No. 12: LGVX8300

Like the Samsung hand grenade, the LG VX8300 was a lot of hardware all folded together.

A camera, music buttons, an external screen, twin side speakers and an antenna that Verizon required at that time -- the LG VX8300 had a lot going on. You can sort of see how the clutter made Motorola's follow-up with the clean, ultra-slim Razr so popular.

©Samsung/TheStreet illustration

No. 13: Samsung SGH X800

Folding phones offer a compact and winning design.Samsung's SGH X800 got the folding part right, but it missed on the compact part. Open the phone was fine, but folded? It was like a fat little hand grenade.

5 Foods That Help You Sleep

2011-02-21T14:27:00.001+08:00

By Melanie Haiken, Caring.com

Should you let yourself have that midnight snack if you're having trouble sleepingand you think hunger might be part of the problem? Here are five foods that can actually help you drift off:

Can't Get a Good Night's Sleep? 5 Surprising Reasons

1. Cherries. Fresh and dried cherries are one of the only natural food sources of melatonin, the chemical that controls the body's internal clock to regulate sleep. Researchers who tested tart cherries and found high levels of melatonin recommend eating them an hour before bedtime or before a trip when you want to sleep on the plane.

2. Bananas. Potassium and magnesium are natural muscle relaxants, and bananas are a good source of both. They also contain the amino acid L-tryptophan, which gets converted to 5-HTP in the brain. The 5-HTP in turn is converted to serotonin (a relaxing neurotransmitter) and melatonin.

3. Toast. Carbohydrate-rich foods trigger insulin production, which induces sleep by speeding up the release of tryptophan and serotonin, two brain chemicals that relax you and send you to sleep..

4. Oatmeal. Like toast, a bowl of oatmeal triggers a rise in blood sugar, which in turn triggers insulin production and the release of sleep-inducing brain chemicals. Oats are also rich in melatonin, which many people take as a sleep aid..

5. Warm milk. Like bananas, milk contains the amino acid L-tryptophan, which turns to 5-HTP and releases relaxing serotonin. It's also high in calcium, which promotes sleep.

BE YOUR OWN FACE SCRUB MIX MASTER

2011-02-15T14:29:00.001+08:00

by Katherine Butler

There are more loopholes and lawlessness in the world of beauty than flies on a bacon-covered cupcake. Seriously, someone might as well be spackling green paint on cans of oil for all the falsely organic stuff out on the shelves. As we may have mentioned once or twice, you need a PhD to determine what’s organic, what’s natural, and what’s a toxic waste dump disguised as face cream.

So what to do? We know to avoid parabens (preservative linked to cancer,) phthalates (solvent linked to reproductive issues,) petrochemicals, sodium laurel sulfate, and anything with fragrance in it. But what about all the other chemicals we see? We can spend our days plugging product ingredients into the Skin Deep database.

Let’s start with one of the most essential beauty products, the scrub. Sure, we can pick up a scrub at your local Whole Foods. (And consider our review of several popular products here.) But why not step into the kitchen and make it ourselves? Our faces and bodies are covered with dead skin cells and the best way to send them off into the afterlife is to use a good scrub. So check out our two favorite recipes for scrubs you can mix up in your own kitchen.

HONEY NUT SCRUB

Courtesy of Narine Nikogosian’s “Return to Beauty”

Nikogosian reports that walnuts are “packed with beta-carotene, vitamin E, and alpha-linolenic acid which help your skin stay soft, smooth and supple.” Like the sweet stuff? Honey helps slough away dead skin cells.

Mix 1 teaspoon of finely-ground walnuts with 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix well. Massage this gently over your face for five minutes. Focus on your T-zone (chine, nose, and forehead). Rinse with warm water.

BASIC BROWN SUGAR SCRUB

Eating tons of sugar? Not so good for your skin. But using it to exfoliate your dead skin away? Nothing’s sweeter than that. A brown sugar scrub can give you the same results as a gentle chemical peel.

Purchase a bag of brown sugar. The dark the better, as light sugars tend to dissolve quickly. Add two tablespoons of water to a small bowl of sugar, but be sure it is not enough to dissolve it. Wet your face. Using circular motions, work the sugar over your skin. Leave the paste on for ten minutes. Then rinse.

5 REASONS WHY HONEY IS THE ULTIMATE BEAUTY MUST HAVE

2011-02-15T13:58:00.001+08:00

by Katherine Butler

Want a centuries-old beauty trick? Tie on your sunbonnets and lean in. (Yes, now I am whispering.) Honey is the secret to everything. Okay, maybe not everything, but it comes pretty darn close. It’s the multi-tasker of natural beauty. Cleopatra made milk and honey baths infamous. Poppea, wife of Rome’s Emperor Nero, used milk and honey to maintain a youthful appearance. And best of all? It is everywhere and it is relatively cheap.

From your farmer’s market to local grocer, almost everyone carries a stock of honey. Naturally, you want to try to use organic honey. But beware of green washing – while many claim their honey is organic, it is nearly impossible to discern where the bees which created it foraged. They could have easily been exposed to pesticides, fertilizers and more. Some recommend buying farmer’s market honey, where you can talk to the grower about how his or her bees were cultivated and how the honey was bottled.

So just why is honey so awesome?

It’s a fantastic moisturizer.

Honey is a natural humectant. This means it draws in and maintains moisture, making it an excellent albeit sticky solution for dry skin. Want a great homemade moisturizer? Mix two tablespoons of warm honey with two tablespoons of organic yogurt. Whisk the mixture together and apply to your face for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water. And try not to annoy any neighboring bees in the process.

It can work as an anti-ager and acne treatment.

Honey helps slough away dead skin cells, renewing skin. It is also packed with antioxidants, which can help combat the signs of skin damage. It also has antimicrobial properties, which makes it an excellent treatment for acne. This means honey can help clear blockage in pores as well as fight bacteria causing pimples. It is much easier on the skin than many of the harsh chemical acne treatments on the market.

It can help heal scars.

As we have already reported, honey is a superstar for scar treatment.Because of its antimicrobial properties, it has been used for centuries to treat wounds. And because it is also a fantastic moisturizer, it can help skin along on the road to recovery. You can place honey on your recovering scar and cover it with a layer of gauze to help along treatment.

It’s good for your hair.

For the same reason it’s a good moisturizer for your skin, honey works great on your hair. Some use it as a deep conditioner. Mix half a cup of honey with one tablespoon of olive oil. Work into your hair and leave for 20 minutes. Rinse like you’ve never rinsed before! Your hair will be soft, silky, and hopefully not too sticky.

It gives you fresh breath.

Worried about your breath? Consider gargling with antimicrobial honey. Mix one tablespoon with a half cup of water. Some suggest throwing in a dash of cinnamon or a squeeze of lemon. Gargle away. And don’t forget to throw a little honey in your tea for sweet, fresh breath.

PUT ON YOUR SUNBONNETS: WE’RE GONNA MAKE OUR OWN MOISTURIZER

2011-02-15T13:55:00.002+08:00

by Katherine Butler

I just ran across an organic rose petal face cream that goes for around $200. Now, I’m sure it’s amazing organic rose petal face cream. But am I about to spend a couple hundred of my hard-earned clams on it? That’s about as likely as me becoming a marginally famous red carpet staple known for wearing shirts as dresses. (As in, not very. Worst trend ever.)

Luckily, history presents us with some options. After all, moisturizing isn’t a 21st century phenomenon. Cleopatra is said to have bathed her skin in donkey’s milk. And the women of the Oregon Trail didn’t have organic boutiques in which to shop for skin care between birthing babies in covered wagons and fighting off rapid raccoons with their bare hands. But they may have stuck their bare faces to the dusty wind and dreamed of the creamy white skins on the illustrations in Godey’s Lady Book.

So put on your Laura Ingalls Wilder sunbonnets (I have two), saddle up, and check out these tips and recipes for homemade moisturizers. Why? Because there’s a whole world of DIY makeup up there – and what’s better than organic ingredients you can control yourself?

For Dry Skin – Treat your skin to one tablespoon of organic sesame or olive oil. Use sparingly – I have found out the hard way that too much olive oil takes about three decades to absorb into your skin. You will be amazingly hydrated, but you will feel like salad dressing if you use too much. Also great for dry skin – mix two tablespoons of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and one egg. Apply to your skin for 15 minutes and rinse.

For Irritated Skin – Combine one tablespoon of organic rose hip oil, one tablespoon of organic olive oil, one tablespoon of organic aloe vera juice. Mix with three drops of organic chamomile oil. Mix the oils into a jar, shake well, and apply.

For Oily Skin – From Narine Nikogosian’s Return to Beauty. Take one small lemon, one tablespoon margarine, and one teaspoon almond oil. Peel the lemon and cut it in half. Warm margarine, mix with lemon and oil until creamy. Apply after cleansing.

For Normal Skin – Take two tablespoons of mashed organic strawberries, ½ mashed organic banana, and one tablespoon of mashed organic blueberries. Add two tablespoons of organic honey. Apply to face for 15 minutes, wash off with cool water. Fruit contains natural antioxidants great for your skin and the honey will moisturize.

4 DIY FACIAL MASKS BY SKIN TYPE

2011-02-15T13:08:00.001+08:00

by Tina McCarthy

We all want fresh, radiant skin, but you don’t have to throw down big bucks for an expensive facial at the day spa to achieve this youthful glow. Using ingredients from around your home (and your garden, too), you can make an assortment of 100% natural facial masks to suite all skin types for a tiny fraction of the cost.

Oily Skin

Mash up a cup of fresh organic strawberries and mix in three teaspoons of honey, two egg whites and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Smooth a thin layer over your entire face, leave it on for 1- minutes and rinse with warm water.

Dry Skin

Pulverize several almonds and thoroughly blend them with a teaspoon of aloe vera gel and powdered milk and a tablespoon of honey. Gently apply this mixture and use warm water to wash it off after 10 minutes.

Combination Skin

Remove the petals from a single red rose, soak them in warm water, pour out the water and crush them into small pieces. Add a tablespoon of yogurt and honey, two tablespoons of rosewater and mix well. Spread this concoction evenly over your face, wait 10 minutes and rinse with warm water.

All Skin Types

Grind a tablespoon of oatmeal to a fine consistency and blend it with a tablespoon of yogurt and a teaspoon of honey. Spread this homemade mask evenly onto your face, let it sit for 10 minutes and wash it off using warm water.

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS TO 8 COMMON BEAUTY DILEMMAS

2011-02-15T12:54:00.001+08:00

It would be grand to just roll out of bed every morning looking glamorous and fresh, but the truth is that it takes a little work. Here are eight easy and eco-friendly tricks for dealing with some of the most frustrating beauty predicaments without going the high-maintenance route.

Tired Eyes
Everybody knows about sliced cucumbers, but I recently discovered a more effective method. Steep a couple of green tea bags, put them in the refrigerator until they’re cool and place them over your eyes.

Blemishes
Apply a touch of toothpaste overnight and dab blemishes with lemon juice before putting on makeup in the morning.

Oily Skin
If you start your morning off with a hot bowl of oatmeal, this one’s a cinch. Let your leftovers cool, mix in a little bit of honey and apply this homemade mask to your face. Leave it on for five minutes and rinse.

Dull Hair
Next time you pop the bubbly, save a glass of champagne to rinse through your hair for brighter locks.

Bad Breath
Add several drops of lemon juice to that reusable water bottle you carry around all day. When your mouth feels stale, just take a swig and swish. Bad breath bacteria don’t stand a chance against the acid present in lemon juice.

Wet Nails
Who has the time to wait for nail polish to dry, especially after a couple of coats? Dipping them into ice cold water will speed up the process.

Chapped Lips
Lip balm may moisturize, but it doesn’t get rid of dead skin cells. Make your own exfoliating scrub by blending a bit of honey with coffee grounds and massage the mixture onto your lips.

Dandruff
Mix several teaspoons of vinegar with water and massage into your scalp. Wrap your hair in a towel and leave it in your hair overnight. Repeat the process weekly for the best results.

11 TOXIC COSMETIC INGREDIENTS TO AVOID

2011-02-15T12:53:00.000+08:00

The greener we become, the more we have to scrutinize. I for one have cleaned up my home, my diet, my cleaning products and – of utmost importance – the products I put on my skin. I’m an avid ingredient reader and do the research – after all, my skin is the largest organ of my body! Here’s a list of some common skin and hair care chemicals that are wise to avoid.

Coal Tar: Coal tar is used to treat eczema, psoriasis and other skin disorders and can be found in anti-itch creams and scalp treatments. It’s also a known carcinogen.

Diethanolamine (DEA): A lathering agent in soaps and shampoos, DEA isn’t carcinogenic by itself, but can react with other chemicals in products to create a carcinogen readily absorbed into the skin. Look for DEA in many forms, such as Cocamide DEA, Oleamide DEA and Lauramide DEA.

Formaldehyde: A frighteningly common ingredient in a variety of beauty products. Formaldehyde can irritate your eyes, nose and throat, dry out and irritate your skin and even cause asthma and cancer with repeated exposure.

Parabens: Parabens have had a lot of press lately and I’m finding more and more products specifically labeled “paraben free.” This is because parabens, in their many forms (methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben, or butylparaben) have been linked to breast cancer. The FDA claims that parabens aren’t dangerous at very low levels, but when you consider that 25,000 different cosmetics and skincare products contain these chemicals, it’s feasible to build up quite an exposure in a lifetime.

Phenylenediamine (PPD): An ingredient used in hair dyes (including eyelash dye), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has run studies that show a higher incidence of cancer among hairdressers and cosmetologists; they have the highest PPD exposure. Although PPD is not approved for products that come in contact with the skin, hair dye usually gets on your forehead or ears for up to 30 minutes. Why take the risk?

Phthalates: The subject of much controversy because of hormone-disrupting phthalates being found in plastic baby bottles and teethers, let’s not forget that they’re a common ingredient in cosmetics, too.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES): A foaming agent in soaps and shampoos, SLS and SLES are skin irritants and can enter the heart, brain and liver through the skin and accumulate in these organs.

Toluene: Found in nail polish and hair dye, this is a nasty one. Toluene is toxic to the nervous system, and breathing it in can cause dizziness and headaches. High exposures can lead to birth defects and miscarriage, so watch out if you work in a nail salon. Use toluene-free brands of nail polish instead.

Fragrance: Because of an FDA loophole, cosmetic companies can hide a whole slew of chemicals, many of which are phthalates, under the label “fragrance.” Read more about the dangers of fragrance, and avoid this ingredient like the plague.

Triethanolamine (TEA): TEA is used to balance PH and is a common ingredient in “gentle” cosmetic products, but unfortunately it’s been known to cause allergic reactions, is an eye irritant and can cause dry hair and skin. With consistent use, TEA is absorbed into the body and accumulates, where it can become toxic.

Hydroquinone: A skin-bleaching ingredient, hydroquinone is banned in Japan, the European Union, and Australia, but it’s still in use in the United States and other countries worldwide. Hydroquinone is found not only in Asian and African skin-lightening products, but in creams to lighten age-spots as well. There’s some evidence that hydroquinone is a carcinogen, and is linked to ochnronosis, a condition in which grayish brown spots and bumps occur on the skin.

When choosing cosmetics, read the ingredients, do your homework and go as simple and natural as possible. You really don’t need all that extra junk to be beautiful.

14 Things Your Eyes Say About Your Health

2011-02-15T12:36:00.000+08:00

By Paula Spencer, Caring.com

Looking people straight in the eye may or may not reveal their honesty -- but the eyes *can* tell you about cholesterol, liver disease, or diabetes, if you know what to look for.

"The eye is a unique window into health," says ophthalmologist Andrew Iwach, spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and executive director of the Glaucoma Center of San Francisco. "It's the only place in the body where, without surgery, we can look in and see veins, arteries, and a nerve (the optic nerve)."

The eyes' transparency explains why common eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration can be detected early with regular eye exams.

"Unfortunately, people get busy and delay not only eye exams but regular physicals. That's why eye doctors sometimes discover other issues, like diabetes or high blood pressure," Iwach says. Especially vulnerable, he says: People like caregivers, who worry about others around them while neglecting care for themselves.

Keep your eye out for these 14 problems.

1. Red flag: Disappearing eyebrows

What it means: Shaved eyebrows are a fad (or fashion, if you will) in some circles. But when the outer third of the brow (the part closest to the ears) starts to disappear on its own, this is a common sign of thyroid disease -- either hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland). The thyroid is a small but critical gland that helps regulate metabolism, and thyroid hormones are among those critical to hair production.

More clues: Brows tend to thin with age naturally. But with thyroid disease, the brow-hair loss isn't evenly distributed; it's a selective dropout on the ends. There's usually a loss of hair elsewhere on the body, too, but the brows are so prominent, it's often noticed here first. Early graying is a related sign of a thyroid problem. Women are more often affected than men, and hyperthyroidism especially strikes women in their 20s and 30s.

What to do: Mention this symptom to a dermatologist or your regular doctor. Most other symptoms of both hyper- and hypothyroidism are notoriously broad and general. Before you see a doctor, make note of any other changes you've noticed, possibly concerning weight, energy levels, bowel or menstrual regularity, mood, or skin changes.

2. Red flag: A stye that won't go away

What it means: The vast majority of the time, a small, raised, often reddish bump along the inner or outer eyelid margin is just an unsightly but innocuous stye (also called a "chalazion"). But if the spot doesn't clear up in three months, or seems to keep recurring in the same location, it can also be a rare cancer (sebaceous gland carcinoma).

More clues: Actual styes are plugged-up oil glands at the eyelash follicle. Fairly common, they tend to clear up within a month. A cancerous cyst that mimics a stye, on the other hand, doesn't go away. (Or it may seem to go away but return in the same spot.) Another eyelid cancer warning sign: Loss of some of the eyelashes around the stye.

What to do: Point out a persistent stye to an ophthalmologist (a medical doctor who specializes in the eye). A biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. The stye is usually removed surgically.

3. Red flag: Bumpy yellowish patches on the eyelid

What it means: Xanthelasma palpebra, the medical name for these tiny yellow bumps, are usually a warning that you may have high cholesterol. They're also called "cholesterol bumps" -- they're basically fatty deposits.

More clues: Sometimes people mistake these bumps for a stye, but with xanthelasma, there tends to be more than one bump and they're quite small.

What to do: See your doctor or a skin or eye specialist. A diagnosis can usually be made by sight. An ophthalmologist can also examine the eye and see deposits; for this reason, in fact, sometimes high cholesterol is first diagnosed during a routine eye exam. The problem usually isn't serious and doesn't cause pain or vision problems. A physician will also evaluate you for other signs of coronary artery disease.

4. Red flag: Burning eyes, blurry vision while using a computer

What it means: You might be a workaholic, and you definitely have "computer vision syndrome" (CVS). The eyestrain is partly caused by the lack of contrast on a computer screen (compared with ink on paper) and the extra work involved in focusing on pixels of light. What's more, by midlife the eyes lose some of their ability to produce lubricating tears. Irritation sets in, adding to blurriness and discomfort.

More clues: Does the problem worsen in the afternoon (when the eyes tend to become drier)? Is it worse when you're reading fine print (more eyestrain)? People who wear glasses or contacts tend to be bothered more by CVS. "Sometimes the problem is made worse by a fan positioned so it blows right in the face," the AAO's Iwach adds, noting that the air further dries tired eyes.

What to do: Reduce glare by closing window shades, investing in a computer hood, or checking out antireflective coating for your glasses (if you wear them). Simply tinkering with the contrast of your screen can help, too. White areas should neither glow brightly like a light source nor appear gray. Flat-panel LCD display screens (like those on laptops) cause less eyestrain than older models. Keep reference material close to the same height as your monitor, giving your eyes a break from having to refocus so much.

5. Red flag: Increasing gunk in the eye

What it means: Blepharitis -- inflammation of the eyelids, especially at the edges -- can have several causes. Two of them, surprisingly, are conditions better associated with other body parts: scalp dandruff and acne rosacea (which causes flushed red skin, usually in the faces of fair-skinned women at midlife).

More clues: The eyes may also feel irritated, as if specks have gotten in them. They may burn, tear, or feel dry. The crusty debris tends to gather in the lashes or the inner corners of the eyes, or even on the lids.

What to do: With clean hands, apply a warm, damp washcloth to the eyes for about five minutes at a time to loosen debris and soothe the skin. See a doctor, who may prescribe an antibiotic ointment or oral antibiotics, as well as artificial tears.

6. Red flag: A small blind spot in your vision, with shimmering lights or a wavy line

What it means: An ocular migraine (also called an "ophthalmic migraine," "optical migraine," or "migraine aura") produces this disturbed vision, with or without an accompanying headache. Changes in blood flow to the brain are thought to be the cause.

More clues: The visual distortion starts in the center of the field of vision. It might appear as a bright dot, dots, or a line that can seem to move and disrupt your ability to see properly, as if you were looking through a pocked or cracked window. It's painless and causes no lasting damage. Individuals seem to have different triggers (ranging from chocolate, caffeine, and alcohol to stress). A headache, possibly severe enough to cause nausea, sometimes follows.

What to do: If you're driving, pull over until the phenomenon passes (usually within an hour). Do have an eye specialist check it out if vision impairment lasts more than an hour or so, to rule out serious problems such as a retinal tear; or if you also experience other symptoms elsewhere that could indicate stroke or seizure (such as fever, loss of muscle strength, or speech impairment).

7. Red flag: Red, itchy eyes

What it means: Many things can irritate eyes, but itchiness accompanied by sneezing, coughing, sinus congestion, and/or a runny nose, usually screams "I'm allergic!" When the eyes are involved, the trigger is usually airborne, like pollen, dust, or animal dander.

More clues: An eye allergy can also be caused by certain cosmetics or ointments. Some people, for example, are allergic to the preservative in eye drops used to treat dry eyes.

What to do: Staying away from the allergic trigger is the usual treatment. Antihistamines can treat the itchiness; those in eye-drop or gel form deliver relief to the eyes faster. If the problem turns out to be an allergy to eye drops, look for a preservative-free brand.

8. Red flag: Whites of the eye turned yellowish

What it means: Two groups of people most often show this symptom, known as jaundice: Newborns with immature liver function and adults with problems of the liver, gallbladder, or bile ducts, including hepatitis and cirrhosis. The yellow in the white part of the eye (the sclera) is caused by a buildup of bilirubin, the by-product of old red blood cells the liver can't process.

More clues: "Other tissues of the body would have the same look, but we can't see it as clearly as in the whites of the eye," says ophthalmologist Iwach. (Skin can also turn yellowish when a person consumes too much beta carotene -- found in carrots -- but in those cases the whites of the eyes remain white.)

What to do: Mention the symptom to a doctor if the person isn't already under care for a liver-related disease, so the jaundice can be evaluated and the underlying cause treated.

9. Red flag: A bump or brown spot on the eyelid

What it means: Even people who are vigilant about checking their skin may overlook the eyelid as a spot where skin cancer can strike. Most malignant eyelid tumors are basal cell carcinoma. When such a tumor appears as a brown spot, then -- as with any other form of skin cancer -- it's more likely to be malignant melanoma.

More clues: Elderly, fair-skinned people are at highest risk. Look especially at the lower eyelid. The bump may look pearly, with tiny blood vessels. If the bump is in the eyelash area, some eyelashes may be missing.

What to do: Always have any suspicious skin spots or sores checked out by a dermatologist, family physician, or eye doctor. Early detection is critical, before the problem spreads to nearby lymph nodes.

10. Red flag: Eyes that seem to bulge

What it means: The most common cause of protruding eyes is hyperthyroidism (overactivity of the thyroid gland), especially the form known as Graves' disease. (First Lady Barbara Bush had it.)

More clues: One way to tell if an eye is bulging is to see whether there's any visible white part between the top of the iris and the upper eyelid, because normally there shouldn't be. (Some people inherit a tendency toward eyes that bulge, so if the appearance seems to run in a family, it probably isn't hyperthyroidism.) The person may not blink often and may seem to be staring at you. Because the condition develops slowly, it's sometimes first noticed in photos or by the occasional visitor rather than by someone who lives with the person every day.

What to do: Mention the symptom to a doctor, especially if it's present in tandem with other signs of Graves' disease, including blurry vision, restlessness, fatigue, increase in appetite, weight loss, tremors, and palpitations. A blood test can measure thyroid levels. Treatment includes medication and surgery.

11. Red flag: Sudden double vision, dim vision, or loss of vision

What it means: These are the visual warning signs of stroke.

More clues: The other signs of stroke include sudden numbness or weakness of the arm or leg or face, typically on just one side of the body; trouble walking because of dizziness or loss of balance or coordination; slurred speech; or bad headache. In a large stroke (caused by a blood clot or bleeding in the brain), these symptoms happen all at once. In a smaller stroke caused by narrowed arteries, they can occur across a longer period of minutes or hours.

What to do: Seek immediate medical help by calling 911.

12. Red flag: Dry eyes that are sensitive to light

What it means: Sjogren's (pronounced "show-grins") syndrome is an immune system disorder. It impairs the glands in the eyes and mouth that keep them moist.

More clues: Sjogren's usually affects women over age 40 with autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Usually the eyes and mouth are affected together. The person may also have vaginal dryness, dry sinuses, and dry skin. Because of a lack of saliva, it can be difficult to chew and swallow.

What to do: A doctor can diagnose Sjogren's through testing. Artificial lubricants (such as artificial tears) are usually necessary to protect the eyes, as well as to improve eating. Drinking plenty of water also helps.

13. Red flag: Sudden difficulty closing one eye, inability to control tears in it

What it means: Bell's palsy is an impairment of the nerve that controls facial muscles (the seventh cranial nerve), causing temporary paralysis in half the face. It sometimes follows a viral infection (such as shingles, mono, or HIV) or a bacterial infection (such as Lyme disease). Diabetics and pregnant women are also at higher risk.

More clues: Half of the entire face, not just the eye, is affected. Effects vary from person to person, but the overall effect is for the face to appear droopy and be weak. The eyelid may droop and be difficult or impossible to close, and there will be either excessive tearing or an inability to produce tears. The effects tend to come on suddenly.

What to do: See a doctor. Most cases are temporary and the person recovers completely within weeks. Rarely, the condition can recur. Physical therapy helps restore speaking, smiling, and other tasks that require the facial muscles working in unison, and it also helps avoid an asymmetrical appearance. Professional eye care can keep the affected eye lubricated and undamaged.

14. Red flag: Blurred vision in a diabetic

What it means: Diabetics are at increased risk for several eye problems, including glaucoma and cataracts. But the most common threat to vision is diabetic retinopathy, in which the diabetes affects the circulatory system of the eye. It's the leading cause of blindness in American adults.

More clues: The changes linked to diabetic retinopathy tend to show up in people who have had the disease for a long time, not those recently diagnosed. The person may also see "floaters," tiny dark specks in the field of vision. Sometimes diabetes causes small hemorrhages (bleeding) that are visible in the eye. There's no pain. People with poorly controlled blood sugar may have worse symptoms.

What to do: Someone with diabetes should have a dilated eye exam annually to catch and control the earliest stages of retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts, or other changes -- before they manifest as changes you're aware of.

14 Ways to Save Money on Groceries

2011-02-09T16:42:00.001+08:00

Save money and trips to the market with these tips and tricks from Rebecca DiLiberto’s Penny Saving Household Helper. You’ll be surprised how simple it is to keep food at its best.

1. Line the bottom of your refrigerator’s crisper drawer with paper towels. They’ll absorb the excess moisture that causes vegetables to rot.

2. To keep herbs tasting fresh for up to a month, store whole bunches, washed and sealed in plastic bags, in the freezer. When you need them, they’ll be easier to chop, and they’ll defrost the minute they hit a hot pan.

3. A bay leaf slipped into a container of flour, pasta, or rice will help repel bugs.

4. Stop cheese from drying out by spreading butter or margarine on the cut sides to seal in moisture. This is most effective with hard cheeses sealed in wax.

Plus: Browse our favorite cheese recipes and learn how cheese is made!

5. When radishes, celery, or carrots have lost their crunch, simply pop them in a bowl of iced water along with a slice of raw potato and watch the limp vegetables freshen up right before your eyes.

6. Avoid separating bananas until you plan to eat them – they spoil less quickly in a bunch.

7. Put rice in your saltshaker to stop the salt from hardening. The rice absorbs condensation that can cause clumps.

8. Stock up on butter when it’s on sale – you can store it in the freezer for up to six months. Pack the butter in an airtight container, so it doesn’t take on the flavor of whatever else you’re freezing.

9. In order to make cottage cheese or sour cream last longer, place the container upside down in the fridge. Inverting the tub creates a vacuum that inhibits the growth of bacteria that causes food to spoil.

10. Believe it or not, honey is the only nonperishable food substance, so don’t get rid of the stuff if it crystallizes or becomes cloudy. Microwave on medium heat, in 30-second increments, to make honey clear again.

11. Prevent extra cooked pasta from hardening by stashing it in a sealed plastic bag and refrigerating. When you’re ready to serve, throw the pasta in boiling water for a few seconds to heat and restore moisture.

12. Keeping brown sugar in the freezer will stop it from hardening. But if you already have hardened sugar on your shelf, soften it by sealing in a bag with a slice of bread – or by microwaving on high for 30 seconds.

13. If you only need a few drops of lemon juice, avoid cutting the lemon in half – it will dry out quickly. Instead, puncture the fruit with a metal skewer and squeeze out exactly what you require.

14. If you’re unsure of an egg’s freshness, see how it behaves in a cup of water: Fresh eggs sink; bad ones float.

Bila Sahabat Bersamaku

2010-12-13T21:22:00.005+08:00

pic taken from google

syukurlah bila kita bertemu dgn seorg insan yg blh mjadi sahabat dunia n akhirat. sentiasa mgingatkn di saat kita tlupa. sentiasa mdengar bila kita perlu meluahkn kpd seseorg. meredakan tangisan ngn kata2 nasihatnya tatkala kita dilanda musibah. pendek kata, sahabat ini sentiasa bsama kita tdk kira di saat suka mahu pun duka.

aku ada sahabat. yang ikhlas bkawan denganku. teringat tatkala aku dihimpit masalah. dia lah teman setia. aku masih simpan nasihat2 yg diberikan. antaranya:

tidak usah terlalu berfikir tentang sesuatu yang tidak penting dan membuatmu tidak bermaya……..

eloklah lupakan sahaja.sebaliknya, tumpukanlah fikiran untuk KEJAYAAN, kerana dengan begitu hatimu tidak terganggu

jika hidupmu susah, minta la PERTOLONGAN kepada YANG MAHA ESA
jadilah WANITA yang mampu mengubah musibah menjadi ANUGERAH

FIRMAN ALLAH SWT

“boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu, padahal ia amat baik bagi kamu,

Dan boleh jadi kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia amat buruk bagi kamu.

Allah mengetahui sedang kamu tidak mengetahui” (Al-Baqarah:216)

terima kasih sahabat krn sentiasa ada buatku n ikhlas dgn psahabatan kita. aku sayangkn psahabatan kita. semoga ia bkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat yang ada. juga kepada sahabat2 ku yg lain. kalian sentiasa di hati. setulus hati ingin ku nyatakan. kalian semua mberikan aku semangat utk terus tabah mharungi setiap dugaan hidup. tanpa kata2 semangat yg diberikan mungkin aku akan terus hanyut dgn dunia ciptaanku sendiri.

TAG

2010-12-12T20:42:00.002+08:00

maaf bebyk. x sempat nk inform yg daku blk kg. sbb tu rmh aku ni sunyi sepi tanpa cite2 tkini. bl dh blk ke shah alam. kena uruskn apa yg lbh penting dulu. skrng br nk mula sapu habuk2 yg sempat singgah ms ketiadaan aku. dlm duk myapu tu tpandang msg kat tempat sembang. ada tag drp naz. so aku ambil ms sket utk siapkn assignment nih. hrp2 naz puas hati ngn jawapan yg diberikn. mudah2an dpt A+. hehehe.... layan jerk la k.

1. Bagi 3 makanan yg korang paling suka dan sila bagi specific nama makanan tersebut and the way you like it.

a. nasi minyak [kat rmh org kawin pun sodap]

lbh sedap bila disajikan ngn gulai daging kawah. mak aiiii.... mintak ampun. klu dapat makan nih mmg aku lupa jap kat hubby aku. hahaha....

b. nasi ayam [yg ni khas drp air tangan ummy aku. tp klu bkn pn aku tetap beria2 mkn]

pd aku satu makanan yg simple tp sedap. nk masak x ssh. tp cukup ssh nak myamakn rasa mcm yg ummy aku masak. lepas ni aku rasa. bila blk kg. aku kena mintak ummy aku tadahkn air tangan dia utk aku gunakn kat cni. hehehe...

c. tom yam campur.

erkkk... kecur air liur aku. klu mkn kat kedai mmg sodap. tp bila buat sendiri x tau nape rasanya mcm x sama mcm kat kedai. puas dicuba. tukar sana tukar cni. rasa tetap x sama. kat mana silapnya erkkk... leh bagitau x.

2. 2 jenis air apa yg korang paling suker?

a. kopi barley [keluaran smart herbs. hehehe....]

b. milo ais

3.Which type of food yg korang prefer, pilih 3... malay, chinese, japanese, westren, italian, mexican, arabian?

4. Apa makanan yg korang paling expert masak? dlm kata lain, xyah tgk resepi tp at the same time bila org lain rasa,org akan kata 'wah!gila sedap'

hahaha... sonang aje. masak air n masak nasi ler. muahhh.... entah la. xde plk yg pernah kata gile sedap bl mkn apa yg aku masak sbb aku ni mmg diakui aku ni x rheti masak. klu ada yg memuji sodap gile anak aku jerk. hahaha.... lbh2 lg klu aku masak lemak kubis atau tumis biasa aje. confirm aku x tgk resepi. hehehe...

5. Semahal mana korang bayar tuk makanan korang?

hah aku pun sama kes ngn naz ler. hubby aku yg bayar. aku cuma jeling aje. tp kdg2 aku ckp gaks kat hubby. nape bwk mkn kt tempat2 yg mahal2. n cam biasa hubby akn cakap. dia keje penat2 utk aku n anak2. uhukk... hukkk... tharu plk. bab makan hubby mmg x bkira. x caya tanya la fmly aku. dia suka jamu fmly mkn.

6. Beri nama restorant favourite. apa makanan kt situ yg paling sedap?

restoran serai kat seksyen 2 shah alam n lala chong seafood. klu kat serai tu menu wajib order we all ialah tom yam campur. sodap sgt. kat lala chong plk. we all mesti order ketam n lala ler. masa aku pregnant almost every 2 weeks mesti g lala chong. x jemu2 aku n hubby pi mkn kat ctu. hehehe...

7. Ayam, kambing, lembu, itik, burung puyoh, burung wak2, rusa, landak, merpati, ayam denak. mana satu yg korang suker? klu korang ada suke yg lain aku xlist,bgtau je la.

9. Apa makanan yg selalu remind korang trhadap pasangan korang?kenapa?

hahaha... nasi pulut yg disalut kelapa n dimakan ngn ikan kering or ikan goreng. breakfast popular kat kg aku. tkulat2 muka hubby aku ms first time family aku jamu dia nasi pulut nih. tobat itu ler first n last dia mkn. tu pun sbb nk jaga ht bakal mertua ms tuh. hehehe.... x nk lagi dah. dia kata pelik pepagi mkn pulut. so klu aku teringin sgt nk mkn. kena tggu blk kg. aku x prnh masak sendiri. sbb nk jaga hati hubby. entah apa yg pelik sgt pun aku x tau. sbb klu aku mkn sedap aje rasanya. n confirm lupa jap kat hubby klu dpt mkn. hahaha...

10. Klu pegi umah orang, korang brharap org tue hidang apa?

x kisah. sbb aku x memilih n semua aku bedal wlaupn hanya air kosong. aku suka pi rumah koalajepong sbb dia suka masak sedap2 klu aku pi tanjong malim. hahaha....

16. Korang klu jumpa org yg TAGG ni, apa agaknya korang nk hidang/belanja?

memandangkn dh hampir dua minggu hubby aku x mkn kat rmh krn kerja n blk lambat [erkkk cite pasal hubby rindu plk aku kat dier muahhh... muahhh... opppsss jgn ko org muntah ijo plk kat cni. nyah copat]. so aku masak ikut sedap tekak aku. klu hubby ada. dia x brapa gemar makan sardin. musykilnya aku bila mana ummy aku yg masak sardin. bselera plk dia makan. aku masak x sedap ke? hehehe buat2 tanya plk padahal itu ler hakikatnya. atau pun dia tpaksa makan nk ambil hati si ibu mertua (',') kan kan [ni ayat aku nk sedapkn ht sendiri k]. btl la tu.

taraa.. chak... sardinku....

Sardin

Bahan-Bahan

1 tin besar sardin king cup [aku guna ayam brand]

5 ulas bawang merah, 3 ulas bawang putih dikisar atau ditumbuk halus

3 ulas bawang merah [dimayang]

1/2 cawan cili kisar [kalau nak buat nasi lemak, lebihkan cili sebab perlu lebih kuah]

1 labu bawang besar dihiris melintang

1 biji kentang dihiris nipis [kalau suka - n aku x letak pun]

3 biji cili padi diketuk

garam, gula secukup rasa

Cara-Cara

1. panaskan 5 sudu besar minyak di dalam periuk. tumiskan bawang merah hiris hungga kekuningan. masukkan bawang kisar dan cili padi. tumis lagi hingga wangi.

2. masukkan cili kisar. tumis hingga pecah minyak. masukkan sos tomato dalam sardin dan kacau sambal hingga sebati. tambahkan 1/2 cawan air. perlahankan api.

3. masukkan kentang dan bawang besar. masukkan ikan sardin. masak hingga kentang empuk dan sambal pekat. kacau rata. tambah garam (+/-1 sudu teh) dan gula (1 sudu besar) jika perlu.

4. tutup api dan sedia dihidang.

"bawang hiris yang ditumis dan cili padi, menambahkan keenakan sardin"

setelah mencuba, ya aku setuju :)

Bila Aku Tunjuk Pandai Dan Aku Tidak Pula Sabar

2010-11-05T17:36:00.002+08:00

sesungguhnya sebagai seorg ibu aku inginkan yg tbaik untuk anak2 aku. sudah tentu aku bhrp mereka akan bjaya dan sentiasa diberkati oleh Allah SWT. dalam masa yg sama tdk mahu si suami melihat aku sbg ibu yg tdk tahu mendidik anak2 apatah lagi aku kini adalah suri rumah sepenuh masa. masa aku banyak dihbskan dengan mereka dan aku merasakan adalah menjadi tangungjawab aku untuk memberi pendidikan sampingan selain mdptknnya di sekolah.

mula la aku tunjuk pandai kat anak aku areena syakirah. menjadi guru yang tdk btauliah. bila anak aku lambat menangkap apa yg aku ajarkan aku naik minyak. aku tdk sabar. kdg2 menengking dan mherdik. kesian areena syakirah. meleleh2 air matanya krn takutkn aku. walhal secara rasionalnya bila aku fikirkan. anak aku tu mmg ssh nak faham atau hakikatnya aku yg x bkelayakkan untuk mgajar yg mbuatkan anak aku tdk fhm apa yg cuba aku sampaikan. guru di sekolah sentiasa memuji areena syakirah antara murid yang cepat belajar. so salah siapa? bak kata nabil. lu pikir la sendiri.

aku sentiasa mhrpkan yg tbaik drp anak2 walaupn dulu ketika aku seusia areena syakirah aku masih tdk dpt mbaca maupun mengeja. apatah lagi nak menambah atau menolak dalam subjek matematik. even aku pun x la belajar tinggi mana. setakat diploma apa la sgt nk dibanggakan.

negatifnya aku krn cara mengajar aku yg mbuatkan areena syakirah ketakutan namun dia enggan utk diajar oleh papanya. dia lbh sanggup menadah telinga mdengar leteran dan amarah aku. betapa kuatnya semangat seorg anak yg bnama areena syakirah. positifnya pula dek krn garangnya aku. areena syakirah dh lancar mbaca. seblm ni dia hanya tahu mgeja. dia juga dah pandai menulis nota utk aku atau papanya. syukur. namun aku memohon kpd ALLAH. agar aku dikurniakanlah kesabaran yg tinggi di dalam hal mdidik anak2 krn sesungguhnya aku bkn la bijak apatah lagi genius jadi tdk perlu utk AKU TUNJUK PANDAI!

mungkin anda semua blh bkongsi pgalaman dlm mgajar anak2 di rumah. bagaimana caranya utk mjadi guru yg baik tapi dalam masa yg sama merupakan seorang ibu yg penuh dengan kasih sayang dan juga lbh btoleransi dgn anak2.

Ubi Keledek

Cara Menyediakan

rebus ubi keledek. jika suka letak sedikit garam. apabila ubi sudah masak [empuk] sejukkan seketika. kemudian lenyekkan ubi keledek. masukkan tepung gandum dan sedikit garam. uli hingga menjadi doh. ambil adunan dalam dua sudu makan. leperkan. masukkan gula sebagai inti. tutup dan gulung kembali. habiskan semua adunan. panaskan minyak dan goreng hingga kekuningan. angkat dan sedia untuk dihidangkan.
