Berry Dessert

In a beautiful glass or bowl, add a dollop or two of custard, top with fresh berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries), and sprinkle confectioner's sugar on top. It's delicious, simple, and a sweet treat. I also think it's a good way to limit custard consumption especially if you share this decadent treat with others. This is a great brunch dessert.

Incorporate Mini-Exercises

Do you think that you have no time to exercise? Think again. Park your car further away from your destination. The additional walking will be good for you.

Strengthen Buttons

To keep your buttons in place for longer, dab the back of the bottom with clear nail polish.

Don't Pop Blisters

Unsightly blister burns should never be popped. As unattractive as they area, popping them will not expedite the healing process. In fact, it can prolong it. By puncturing the blister and opening the wound up, you make it susceptible to infections. Plus, you've now damaged your skin. So your body will have to regrow its skin, which will add to the healing time. Your body will, in its own time, drain the blister. Rinse the blister, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover with a bandage.

Do Not Butter Burns!!!

An outdated, traditional and severely damaging remedy is to apply butter on burns. Butter will retain and raise the heat levels because the butter will start to melt and sizzle. That sizzle is full of heat. Heat that's sitting over your burned skin. Not a good idea. Instead, run cold water over the affected area. Do not, I repeat, do not use ice. Ice can cling to the skin, but it's also an extreme temperature. Going from burning hot to icy cold is a shock to the system. Your body only interprets burn, hot and freezer burns.

Moisturize a Burn

After you've cleansed and thoroughly dried the affected area, with gentle pressure, apply a light layer of moisturizer over the affected area. Burned skin is dry skin. It's important to replenish the moisture its loss to return to its natural state.

For an Eclectic Potluck

For a truly diverse selection of foods, designate everyone to a specific region. (Indian, Japanese, French, Mediterranean, etc.) It's always interesting to see what others arrive with.
