Looking For Bold, New Color To Paint My Walls?My house has hunter green carpet all the way through it. My walls are all white. My den, kitchen/dining room and living room are connected (not separated by doorways). I want to paint my walls in a bold new color. I have thought about yellow, but my furniture in the den is yellow, and the furniture in my living room is burgundy (which i would like to make it have a palm tree/jungle theme). I would like something classy, but trendy. But yet is simple to achieve. Anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you! Myndi

Stretching MoisturizerI need to use quite a bit of facial moisturizer just to have enough to spread over my entire face. I have found that if I wet my hands or face first, I can use a very small amount, as it will thin out and spread easily.

About MyPointsI noticed that MyPoints is todays sponsor. I have been a member of this program for many years. IT's sooooo easy to earn points. I get gift cards to Red Lobster as I don't feel so bad about spending the money. Last year I received a gift card for Bath & Body for $10 and used it to get a gift for the baby sitter. The item was $20 so I got 1/2 off when I purchased it and she loved the gift. So sign up.

Cold Weather Preparation For Your CarIn winter months, carry an extra change of warm clothes, blankets, flashlight, some nonperishable food, matches, a small breakdown shovel, etc. You never know when you might slide into a snowy ditch. It's better to be prepared, than to wish you'd been prepared! Let someone know your estimated time of arrival, so if you don't show up, someone will know to come looking for you.
