Tip of the day: You are what you eat


Juicy!There is no denying the truth behind the phrase, "You are what you eat." A perfect example is the huge zit you always get after housing a greasy pizza. You can also put a positive spin on the saying and change the way you eat for good.

Summer is the best time to kick start better eating habits for your skin, hair, body, and even your mind. There is so much juicy fruit and yummy grilled chicken around that it's easier to say no to macaroni salad and the ice cream man.

Crazy cravings: wooden platform sandals


Ah, summer time. Cookouts. Weekend afternoon parties. Long, warm evenings in friends' backyards. It's the season for sundresses, bare legs and pretty pedicures.

This adds up to a deep need for new sandals.

A sensible woman would get something neutral and comfortable, a pair you can wear anywhere, with anything.

Yeah. Well, good for them.

We want these crazy 4" 4.25" high, green, wooden wedge heels with a hole in the middle of them. They look moderately uncomfortable and totally hard to walk in. L-o-v-e at first sight.

They live at Target, and will come home with us for $19.99. At least we won't need to use rent money to pay for them, unlike the $700 peach suede Prada sandals smirking at us over at Neiman Marcus.

Fresh ideas for the cookout host

food network cookout fresh ideasSo much for an afternoon cookout with the mere simplicities -- hot dogs, hamburgers, and potato salad. The Food Network and its celeb-chefs are bombarding the airwaves with twists on the run-of-the-mill backyard BBQ foods.

You certainly don't want to be the host who serves the way-more-than-well-done burgers with a side of heartburn. Be prepared to impress your guests with this list of easy-to-make treats that work great for tailgates, cookouts, or any other type of get-together.

Instead of chicken breasts (with that home-made marinade that you just know everyone loves), try these parmigiano and herb chicken breast tenders, courtesy of the beloved Rachael Ray.

If you want a by-the-sea theme, Iron Chef Bobby Flay's grilled lobster smothered in basil butter is bound to get your salivary glands back in gear.

Use these ideas and say goodbye to tradition and you're
bound to have your friends bragging about your culinary coolness.
