Style
As much as we all look forward to the nicer weather, just thinking about shopping
for a bathing suit can ruin a good time before it starts. This article
will help you through the annual rite of passage.
Comfort is key and there is no reason to feel
compelled to fit into the dreaded bikini. Flattering suits come
in all forms in today’s market, and when you are comfortable
in your bathing suit, you are more likely to enjoy your beach
and pool excursions, rather than feeling uncomfortable.

“You get what you pay for” seems to be especially true when it comes
to shampoos. This article lets you know what ingredients to look for, which ones
to avoid and what items are just marketing ploys.
Ingredients really are the cornerstone to shampoos
and conditioners. And beyond name, price or smell, experts say
they’re what you should pay attention to when choosing
a product. They’re listed on labels from the highest content
to lowest. If water is listed early on, you’ll have to
use more to get the same results as a higher-priced brand.
Book Corner
Summertime and the traveling is … easy? It can be when you consult a
travel guide, and as columnist Debbi Honorof shares with us, there are as many
guides as destinations. If literal escape is not in your future, try reading
a travel memoir. Guest columnist Marshall Honorof suggests some titles that
might help you take a virtual vacation.
In order to choose the travel guide that best
suits your need, I recommend spending time in your local bookstore,
thumbing through the guides to find the ones you are most comfortable
with. Some are basic guides, printed in black and white, while
others have glossy color photos with elaborate fold-out maps.
All feature the essential information … and all the major
travel guide publishers have companion websites that offer additional
information and downloads.
