nail it
Lots of nail files to choose from these days, but what I like about this one is that it’s purse-able and polka dotted. OK, that last one makes sense, but in case you’re wondering, “purse-able” means you could actually find this file in your purse when you finally have a second to touch-up your nails! $1.99 at Rite-Aid, throughout Hampton Roads.
F
INALLY, IT’S MOMMY TIME. If you stay home, the last two and a half
months may have caused you to
pull out your hair, bite your nails and form a zit or two. Time to take back your time – and your beauty. If the back-to-school
shopping depleted your funds, worry not: Here is a beauty plan on a budget.
face time
lash out
Spa treatments are fantastic (and you should indulge if you can afford it!), but you can have just as much fun, relaxation and glowing skin for $1.27 with one on these yummy-scented masks. Food Lion, throughout Hampton Roads.
If you’re a touch intimidated by makeup but want to spruce up your look this season, an eyelash curler, cute and stylish in purple, can do the trick, inexpensively and quickly. Keep your eyes open, place on upper lashes, squeeze and count to 10. Repeat on the other side, and get ready to flirt. $1 at Dollar Tree, throughout Hampton Roads.

What you need to do: Kids can wash the head of broccoli under cold, running water. Adults can cut the heads off the broccoli into small florets and transfer to a medium bowl. Adults should cover with a wet paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds to lightly steam. Adults should remove bowl from microwave, remove paper towel, and allow broccoli to return to room temperature. Adults can open the can of refrigerator biscuits.

Adults should preheat oven according to biscuit package instructions. Kids can separate the biscuits and gently press them down into the muffin tins; be careful not to press holes in the dough, and try to push dough up to the top. Kids can place a small sprinkling of cheese in each muffin cup, followed by a small amount of broccoli and another small sprinkling of cheese. Adults should place prepared muffin tins into oven and bake according to biscuit package instructions; adults should remove from oven when finished and allow tin to cool slightly before removing the Cheesy Broccoli Biscuits and serving.
