Portion Control We Can Relate To
Food Portion Serving Size
I am a firm believer in portion control. The trick is though to know what the right portion is. Once a friend who was on Weight Watchers showed what the portion was for cereal. I was stunned when I realized what I thought was one serving was really about three. So when I came across this great chart in Woman’s Day magazine that had the appropriate serving in terms of common everyday items that you can relate to, I wanted to share it with readers. So here it is:
One serving of Steak is equal to an IPOD Classic

Recycle and Treat Your Feet
All Natural Skin Care Recipes
If you are a working woman you know that everything in your life has to do double duty. So that’s why I love when I loved this article from Woman’s Week magazine. You can recycle pineapple and kiwi skins as a foot treatment. I love foot treatments. As a matter a fact I got some money as a gift this holiday season and I got pedicures for my daughter and myself. It was wonderful. I am wondering how I can budget those in on a monthly basis for us.

Stain Removal At The Office and At Home
Stain Removal From Clothing
I was watching a great PBS special called Haley’s hints and jotted down a few of the hints that could really come in handy when you are in the office. Most of the hints relate to stain removal. If you have a can a hair spray and a bar of soap you will be amazed at what you can do in terms of stain removal at the office. Some of these solutions require you rinse in cold water so you might consider keeping an extra white blouse or shirt at the office.
