When the forces of good and evil were creating the universes, I’m sure they had to haggle a bit over what human existence would entail. The side of good would say, “We’ll need rainbows in the skies for the people to smile at.” The forces of evil would retort, “Rainbows only after storms…and some will [...]

Get Rid of Gray Hair
August 27, 2009 – 12:09 pm
Feel lucky. My dad started getting gray hair when he was fourteen years old. He told me this when I noticed my first gray hairs. Granted, I wasn’t fourteen. I was twenty three or twenty four, but it was bad enough. My dad just let it stay gray, I shaved mine off. On the other [...]
Get Rid of Bags Under Eyes
July 31, 2009 – 6:39 pm
Having under eye bags is one of the most unfair cosmetic maladies. Your previous evening may have involved going to church, a friendly game of cribbage, a healthy dinner, and an early bedtime, but people will think otherwise. They will ask, “Are you feeling ok?” with concern in their eyes. They will say, “Wow, someone [...]
Get Rid of a Tan
July 9, 2009 – 6:44 pm
I am a very white person; I’ve never really had a tan to get rid of. My ancestors were either a cave-dwelling or an as-yet-undiscovered subterrenean people. I was quite surprised to learn that people - many people - actually want to get rid of a tan. If I got one, I’d want to keep [...]

Cradle cap - or infantile seborrheic dermatitis - usually never bothers the baby who exhibits its scales and flakes. It does bother the parents.

Get Rid of Water Weight
June 29, 2009 – 8:16 am
For the last few weeks, I’ve been on a mission to lose weight and reveal the Greek God that lies dormant underneath my flab. I’ve been eating less and exercising vigorously for at least an hour each day, and to my chagrin, the scale says I’ve gained five pounds. At first I was a bit [...]
Get Rid of Love Bites
June 18, 2009 – 4:23 pm
There’s only a handful of things I can think of that can beat a good necking session. As it turns out, I don’t think it would be terribly appropriate for me to mention any one of them here today. But, you know what I’m talkin’ about. The only problem with a good necking session is [...]
Get Rid of a Muffin Top
June 18, 2009 – 12:58 pm
These days with the re-emergence of tight low rise jeans, muffin tops, to the dismay of many seem to be making a comeback. Many people, women and men alike are “victims” of this. Personally, I like a little muffin top on a girl. I think girls should be soft and have a little something to [...]
Get Rid of Water Retention
June 18, 2009 – 10:50 am
Our bodies are made up of 60% water, but when you are suffering from water retention, it feels like the remaining 40% is pure misery-flavored gelatine. It may seem like a pedestrain malady, but water retention is sometimes a symptom of a serious underlying illness, so it is important to consult your doctor. More commonly, [...]

June 18, 2009 – 10:21 am
For anyone who has them, getting rid of keloid scars can be very important. Not only can they cause extraordinary discomfort and itching, they can also be unsightly. And lets face it, some of us are more self conscious and/or vane than others of us. And so what. It’s only natural to want to look [...]
