Home Economics
Beeing Norwegian, I can not help you with tips about stores etc. But I love to share tips, so here is mine: -As others have said: Plan the meals ahead! I loooove to do this, because I'm a food geek, and this way I get a nice, varied menu. But it's also a great saver. If I don't plan ahead, I...- Helen Troy

Ladylike drinks for the ladies?
Inspired by a coment in another thread, I started wondering: Do ladies have to drink ladylike drinks? Do true ladies make a point to do that? You see, I wouldn't know. While I look like a lady, I talk like a sailor and behave like a young, ruthless british lord. And I drink like a man. Not in...- Helen Troy

Lipstick Application 101
I think I have mentioned it before, but it may be worth repeating my trick for lipstick that stays on all night. Max factors "Lipfinity" everlasting lipstick really stays on for a long, long time.

Mineral Make-UP
Another EM-lover here! My full-face makeup for when I want to look extra good is like yours here, but with different colored foundation and the corn silk powder I also like to use the "ligth pink" on my cheekbones, a touch on the forehead and quite a lot under the eyes, over the sunglight...- Helen Troy

Favorite type of Steak
I am a true carnivore, and I loooooove steaks. I like it cooked in so many ways, but to let a slice of brie melt on the top of a steak and serve it with port jello or red currant jello is a favourite. A nice filet mignon is never wrong, but I actually prefer the entrecote. It is just tender...- Helen Troy

Cream or soft yellow homes anyone?? SOS!
Pigments are different than screen color, but the main principle you describe here is right. It looks to me like Nikkis swatches has some black in them, and maybe some red. (Hard to tell on the screen.) If you want a bright yellow, choose one with lots of white and a little pure yellow, as...- Helen Troy

The itsy-bitsy gardener- hints and tips.
Thank you so much for the help! Tomorrow, I will clean the dirt(!) and let the whole thing dry a little. By the way, "crest" was me misspelling "cress". I'm not sure if that is the right word. I was thinking of "watercress", In Norwegian the "cress"-part of that word translates to the name...- Helen Troy
