Brazilian Wax to Workouts… How To Be A Brazilian Beauty, Naturally By Laurel House IN Travel & Outdoors Feb 22 2011 Want to have the kind of body that a Brazilian bathing suit was designed to drape over? When traveling to Rio de Janiero, the city that, to many, pretty much defines the ideal image of “beauty,” it’s no shocker your average chick might for a moment wonder: “what trade tricks can I pick up…” And that was my mindset when I boarded the American Airlines non-stop flight from Dallas to Rio. + READ MORE

Kombucha Pulled From Shelves at Whole Foods and Others: All the More Reason to Make Your Own By Sara Novak IN Food & Health Jun 29 2010 Last week I went into Earth Fare (similar to Whole Foods) only to find that they had pulled all their kombucha products off the shelves. No, I don't mean that they had pulled just one brand, I mean every brand that they sell. Apparently, this has been in the works for a while because after Whole Foods began testing the product, they found that many of the brands had more than the .5 percent alcohol allowed for beverages not labeled as alcoholic. + READ MORE

How to Make Your Own Infused Vodka By Sara Novak IN Food & Health Jul 8 2009 Flavored vodkas have become all the rage in the past few years.

How to Make Dandelion Tea By Josh Peterson IN Home & Garden Jun 1 2009 Personally, I've never understood why people freak out about weeds like dandelions, Creeping Charlie, or clover. What?s the big deal? I think they look nice. A yard or garden that is well-kept, but still a little wild looking is more aesthetically pleasing to any nature lover, I'd say. + READ MORE

Make Your Own Soymilk For Pennies Instead of Dollars By Trevor Reichman IN Food & Health Jan 26 2009 I purchased a Soyajoy soy milk maker about 8 years ago for $100. Even though it was the most amount of money I have ever spent on a kitchen appliance, I did the math and figured that I would make my money back in a year. It turned out that it paid for itself in under a year and it is still running strong eight years later, just having to replace the blade once along the way. That same $100 investment would have only afforded me between 30 and 40 cartons of soymilk or other non-dairy milks, and I use it at least one a week. + READ MORE
