Microwave on high for about 1 minute.

Scrub potatoes clean and set aside. Line a baking sheet with tin foil. Combine Ghee, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic in a small dish. I used a garlic press to crush the garlic right into the dish. Stir until well combined. Grab a pair of chopsticks and place one on either side of a potato. Use a knife to cut ¼” slices ⅔ of the way down the potato. The chopsticks will help act as guides and prevent you from slicing the potato all the way. Once the potatoes are sliced, transfer to baking sheet. Divide the Ghee

OILY EYE LID RESCUE Post + Photography by Amy Nadine, Graphic Design by Eunice Chun You’ve already learned our quick tip for preventing your lower eyeliner from running in The Line Saver post, so this time we’re focusing on the upper lashline. If you have oily eye lids, you’ve probably struggled with your liner stamping itself just above the crease. Even if it’s a waterproof formula… so frustrating! And if you’ve used a non-waterproof formula, forget about it. You might as well draw the crease line yourself because it’s definitely going to end up there anyway! But this trick really works if you do it immediately upon application. Here’s how:  TOOLS: Translucent Powder — One of my all-time favorites is Giorgio Armani Micro-fil Loose Powder in #0 because even though it’s translucent (color-less), it has tiny little shimmering particles that help mask imperfections and it never gets cakey. Eye Shadow Blending Brush — The  Lancôme Blending Shadow Brush is the p

Five Tips to Improve Your Digestive Health http://www.pvnutritionaltherapy.com/five-tips-to-improve-your-digestive-health/ By Craig Fear Digestive problems?   Millions of Americans are suffering with poor digestive health these days brought on by not only poor dietary choices but poor dietary advice as well.  The mainstream nutrition advice to eat low-fat, eat more whole grains and eat more fruits and vegetables can actually exacerbate many digestive problems.  Yesterday I made another TV appearance here in western Massachusetts where I discussed five tips to improve your digestive health.  Most of these tips are not tips your doctor is telling you about.  But they’re really important, especially if you’ve been experiencing more chronic, long-term digestive problems.  So sit back and check out my five tips for better digestive health: So did you watch it?  Are those tips something different from what your doctor has told you?  Or did you not watch it? 

Train Yourself To Be An Optimist (Yes, You Can!) By Debra Kaye Are you in a rut of thinking yourself as a failure? I use the word rut on purpose, because feeling like a failure – and behaving like one – is a habit you can change. You can flip it around and teach yourself to be an optimist, to act like a success and be successful.   It’s all about what psychologists call “learned optimism.” You see, happiness is not just a warm and fuzzy feeling. We can all consciously adapt easy practices that will help us develop the optimist’s style and point of view. Doing this will make us more willing to take risks, take failures in our stride, and be more willing to seek help, ask questions, and try again. Martin Seligman, Director of the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania and founder of positive psychology, says people have unique ways of describing what happens to them, which he calls “explanatory style.

Grow 100 lbs. Of Potatoes In 4 Square Feet: {How To} http://tipnut.com/grow-potatoes/ Quite the clever gardening tip here folks! Today’s feature includes tips from three different sources for growing potatoes vertically (in layers) instead of spread out in rows across your garden. If you have limited garden space or want to try some nifty gardening magic, this could be a great option for you. First, there’s this article from The Seattle Times: It’s Not Idaho, But You Still Can Grow Potatoes : The potatoes are planted inside the box, the first row of boards is installed and the dirt or mulch can now be added to cover the seed potatoes. As the plant grows, more boards and dirt will be added. You plant in one bottom layer, boarding up the sides of each layer and adding dirt as you go higher (you wait until the plants have grown a bit before adding a new layer). While new potatoes are growing in the top layers, remove the boards from the first layer at the bottom to c
