Get a Great Haircut
Sit up straight. Don't cross your legs when you sit in the stylist's chair -- it skews your posture, so your cut could be uneven once you stand up. Instead, sit up in the chair, legs uncrossed.

Kitchen Tips and Techniques

Misc. Cooking Time Savers

• I never peel potatoes for anything: mashed potatoes, potato soup, potato salad, etc. If you scrub the potatoes well with a wire brush (much quicker than peeling), you'll find that you don't even notice the skins. And they say all the nutrients are in the skins anyway, so it's healthy, too.
• When making side dishes out of a box (like Au Gratin potatoes), the directions always say to boil the water first. I never do. I just use hot water, and it always turns out just fine.
• When making fancy powdered soup mixes that call for just water, use half milk and half water. You'll get much thicker, creamier results.
• Keep frozen mashed potatoes and hash brown potatos on hand. They’re great time savers when it comes to throwing together a casserole or quickie meal.
• Use your crock pot. If you don’t have one - get one! You can throw your ingredients in before leaving for work in the morning - let it cook all day - and presto! Dinner’s ready when you get home!
