Slay the Energy VampiresWe all get 24 hours a day. How are
some people able to get so muchdone in those 1,440 minutes?Chances are they’ve learned how todrive a stake through the hearts ofenergy vampires—activities that takea toll in tiredness. Try these tips forslaying some common culprits:
Late nights. After all the day’schores are done, who doesn’t crave alittle “me” time? TV, video games and
social media—all-night sources ofamusement—are temptingdistractions. Allow yourself an hour inthe evening for entertainment. Set atimer. When it goes off, it’s time to turnin for the night.
Sugary snacks. Sweet treatsdeliver a rush of energy followed by alingering crash. Instead, reach forcomplex carbohydrates such as rawveggies and whole-grain crackers,lean protein such as low-fat yogurt orhealthy fats such as walnuts andalmonds.
Negative Nellies. Being a goodfriend means lending a listening earand a shoulder to cry on. Butfriendship is a two-way street. If therelationship is out of balance,establish boundaries. Limit theamount of time you’re available, and ifyour friend’s problems persist, tactfullysuggest she get professional help.
CookingWhat’s
Unusual Chili ChoicesHeat up a chilly night with a
steaming bowl of savory chili.America’s favorite stew is simmeringwith possibilities as unusualingredients crop up in recipes acrossthe country. From the traditional blendof beans and spices to theover-the-top additions of fruit, noodlesor seafood, chili stirs up lots ofattention this season. Here are someunconventional flavors found indifferent chili concoctions:
Tropical. Hawaiian-inspired recipesput a sweet spin on a savory favorite.Fruits such as pineapple and mangomake their way into this variation,
often with rice, ginger and spicy pork.Pumpkin. Pureed pumpkin puts a
slight twist on the traditional recipeand adds a mild, sweet flavor.
Pasta. Some chili recipes resemblea soup more than a stew, but thesethinner consistencies are no slouchwhen served over a bed of noodles.
Seafood. A twist to the popularwhite chicken chili variation nowincludes seafood. Shrimp, scallopsand pieces of white fish get caught upin this concoction, usually withsautéed garlic and bell peppers.
Chocolate. Bacon, sausage,barbecue sauce and chocolate mingleto make a statement for your sweettooth in chocolate chili.
Dollars and Sense:Save or Splurge?
We’re all trying to save a dollar, butwhen it comes to certain products,scrimping on value brands can leavecustomers disappointed. Take someadvice from beauty experts so you’llknow whether to dig up spare changeor hang onto your wallet when theseitems appear on your shopping list:
Anti-aging night cream: Splurge.Experts suggest shelling out moremoney for an expensive night creambecause it usually means moresophisticated research has been doneon the product and it may containhigher quality active ingredients.
Shampoo: Save. All shampoos areformulated to cleanse, so you canscale back on suds. The trick is tolook for a product designed for yourhair type. Conditioners, however,protect and repair hair, so splurgingon an expensive brand may deliverthe best results.
Toilet paper: Splurge.Bargain-priced bath tissue seems likea deal in the store, but if you have touse more, it’s not really a savings.
Undershirts: Save. White tees andtanks soak up perspiration and canget dingy in no time. Save your cashfor other threads and just replace yourundershirts when they’re worn out.
Gym clothes: Splurge. Washinggym clothes after every sweat sessionputs a lot of wear and tear on thematerial. Buy brands that can keep upwith you.
