Book: 100 Recipes Every Woman Should Know (Glamour Magazine)
Before I recycle my Glamour magazines, I always tear out the recipes. I will admit that I have never prepared anything, mainly because I usually end up misplacing the recipes or tossing them (while cleaning). So, I was surprised when I was flipping through a recent Glamour that I saw an advertisement for their book "100 Recipes Every Woman Should Know" by Cindi Leive and other Editors of Glamour.

Here's a recipe to help you (and me) beat the heat. I love to make homemade ice cream, and if you haven't tried it, you haven't realized how easy it is. It is much better tasting than most store-bought ice cream and much cheaper too. I love that I get to control the quality of my ingredients and try out all sorts of wonderful flavors I would not be able to buy from a brand.

A Comic, DC Comics Should Do: Lois Lane, Girl Reporter
I'm in a Comic Book kind of mood and thought this would be interesting to post.by Style and Focus PRSomething truly different that DC Comics could really do, is to publish, "Lois Lane, Girl Reporter" written by Dean Trippe and artwork by Daniel Krall. Trippe was trying to pitch it to DC but they decided to pass on it. I can not understand why? It seems like it would appeal to a unique target
2 Summer Beauty Tips to Help Beat the Heat
** To keep my skin from being too shiny and yet still fresh, I use blotting paper. They're great because when it's too hot and the last thing I want to do is put on make-up, the blotting paper takes away the shine but doesn't dry out my skin. ** During the summer I keep my facial moisturizer, lotions and sunscreen in the refrigerator. I feel cool and ready to start the day especially if it's

Mayonnaise Hair Treatment Results.
Yesterday, I tried the mayonnaise hair treatment. The results were: my hair felt soft and I was surprised because I was expecting it to feel greasy or a little crunchy but it turned out so much better than I was expecting. The only thing I'd do differently next time, is to apply more. I have thick medium length hair and I wasn't sure I applied enough.I would say that this inexpensive treatment

What Do You Think About DC Comics New 52 Line-up?
I am disappointed that DC has made such drastic changes to all the characters and have "retired or removed" some of my favorite characters such as Stephanie Brown (Batgirl) and Helena Bertinelli (Huntress) just to name a few.I think the Reboot is nonsense because making all these changes is not going to garner all the new readers that they are hoping for. If they're not reading comics now, how
