for health,please throw away the lipstick
Men, be warned! That lipstick you love on your girlfriend or wife may be a health risk.the cosmetics most women put on each morning are really too old to be used, according to an expert at the College of Optometrists in London. A five-year-old mascara or lipstick may not smell(too)bad, but it will probably be full of bacteria. "The make-up you use should be as fresh as the food you consume. But women keep their make-up for many years, not to mention sharing it with friends."”If you're not sure wether your cosmetics are safe, keep in mind what expert say: most such products can be used for a maximum of 18 months.
The rich man sleeping more sweet
There are two conflicting stereotypes when it comes to the activity levels of the wealthy. There is the populist version: the fat cat sitting lazily on his yacht or Palm Beach, Fla., veranda. Then there is the conservative version: the hyper-kinetic workaholic that would rather dream of new business than sleep. Neither is a complete portrait; both exist in reality. But a new study suggests the affluent may, overall, be better rested than the A new Gallup-Healthways survey found that 28% of individuals with incomes of 90,000 or more said they didn't feel well-rested yesterday. That is below than the 35% of those with incomes of less than 24,000. What explains the difference? The nonwealthy probably stay up at night worrying about money. "Any of a wide range of factors that are correlated with income could have influenced lower income Americans' reports of not feeling well-rested the day before the survey," the report says. "These factors include, among others, greater daily stress, greater financial worry, lower job satisfaction, and poorer physical health compared with wealthier respondents." Still, I'm not sure the data would hold if it went higher up the wealth ladder. From my reporting, the very rich can be just as stressed out and sleepless than the merely affluent-if not more so, what with all those companies to run, people to manage, bills to pay, charities to support, homes to keep up and feckless cousins to bail out. Not that we should pity their high-price hyperactivity. But, I don't think more money necessarily leads to more rest.
1℃ love
In a cold winter,a couple had to move out from the luxury villa because of the bandruptcy.The husband worked day and night to support the family,but with no care of his wife.So she thought,"He doesn't love me anymore,he just cares his business,not me." One day,she began to take a bath,he stopped her at the door,"Let me take it first ,OK?" "Why not let me shower first?"she asked. "I was tired,sweetie,you take it later,OK?" She was totally depressed. On a morose day,she found nothing to do and turned on his computer,a few words blurred her eyes.It was his diary: Today,I was quite sad.She asked me why I was always taking the bath first,and I sad to her I was exhausted.She was unhappy.In her mind,I treated her not as well as usual.But how can I do,I was not as rich as before,we moved to the small apartment,there's only a shower in the bathroom.It was so cold to take a shower in such a freezing winter.But I found that if one person took the shower first,the room could get a little warm.So every time,I rushed to the bathroom first.I was thinking that when she took the shower,the room would get warmer,at least 1℃,2℃,or3℃... Now,I cann't give her comfortable life,bring her to the luxury restaurant,buy expensive dresses for her,but at least I can give her one degree centigrade LOVE.

The less complain,the more happy life
If we really want to be happy, why do we act like such babies? We can claim to be proactive in our life by settings goals and going after what we want. But if we’re always whining and complaining all the time, are we really living effectively? If you don’t believe me, count how many times you complain about something or other in one day. Whether it be being stuck in traffic, being bothered by the weather, not enough mustard on your sandwich, or whatever it is, there are endless instances where you can find a reason to complain. But it’s not just outside circumstances that we complain about. We complain about about ourselves too. We complain that we don’t have enough time, we don’t have enough money (this one is huge because it’s often “true”), that we’re not smart enough, cool enough, or just enough.I know I’ve experienced plenty of unpleasantness due to complaining about things I can’t control. I never really thought about it much until I found this website about “living in a complain free world.” Imagine how much happier you would be if you simply stopped complaining? Much of what you complain about is outside of your control anyway. What’s the point of brooding about something you have no power to change? Not very intelligent, if you ask me. Simply becoming conscious of how much you complain is the first step to stopping. When you recognize that you’re complaining, stop and take notice of it. Ask yourself if you would rather complain, or be happy.
Visiting Washington This Summer
It's Spring — prime tourist season in the Washington, D.C., area. But sweltering summer weather will soon arrive along the Potomac River, and America's most famous farmhouse is ready. Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, the nation's first president, is air-conditioned.The owners of historic properties wrestle with a basic question: Should we preserve our treasure as close as possible to its condition when famous people lived or worked here? After all, we do things like scraping through layers of paint just to find and restore authentic colors from a century or two ago. Or should we bend our preservationist principles and make the place comfortable for visitors and staff?The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association — the nation's first preservationist organization that once saved Washington's estate from ruin after the U.S. Civil War — struggled mightily with this dilemma. For years many members opposed any climate-control measures, noting that George and Martha Washington certainly never flipped on an air-conditioning switch. They also worried that the installation of a/c would damage plaster and wallpaper and wood. When the Mount Vernon Ladies decided to go ahead and put in the cooling system a few years ago, two key staff members resigned in protest. One called the move unethical. But renovation forces won out. Air conditioning would help preserve valuable furniture and musical instruments that heat and humidity were degrading, they argued. And contractors convinced them that vents and ducts and such would be barely noticeable.
who stole the watch
It was very hot in the small courtroom and everybody was feeling sleepy.After a tiring morning, the clerks were anxious to get off to lunch and even the judge must have felt relieved when the last case came up before the court. A short,middle-aged man with gray hair and small blue eyes was now standing before him. The man had a foolish expression on his face and he kept looking around stupidly as if he was trying hard to understand what was going on.The man was accused of breaking into a house and stealing a cheap watch. The witness who was called did not give a clear account of what had happened. He claimed to have seen a man outside the house one night, but on being questioned further, he confessed that he was not sure whether this was the man. The judge considered the matter for a short moment and then declared that as there was no real proof, the man could not be found guilty of any crime. He said that the case was dismissed and then rose to go.Meanwhile, the accused looked very puzzled.It was clear that he had not understood a thing. Noticing this, the judge paused for a moment and then the man said suddenly,"Excuse me, sir, but do I have to give the watch back or not?"
