BRAZIL~ Cellulite: sand & water rubbed into thighs.

CHINA ~ Hair: green tea, hot water, olive oil & rosemary. Gives your hair shine!

SPAIN ~ Brown hair highlights: cranberry juice & seltzer (lemon for blondes)

FRENCH ~ Skin & Hair: Milk moisturizes.

NORWAY ~ Skin: drink water, splash your face with water, etc...

INDIA ~ Face mask: almonds & vanilla yogurt in a blender.

PUERTO RICO ~ Hair: Vodka & water. Face: warm honey.





MY MOTHER'S ADVICE:
Hair: Beer & honey for shiny hair. Olive oil scalp massage once a month.

Teeth: Always rinse toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide & once a week brush with arm & hammer baking soda. Wear blue tone red lipstick.

Skin: SLEEP! WATER! EAT CHOCOLATE! LAUGH! Face mask once a week. Those special face creams are all mixed with vasiline, just use vasiline.

Eyes: Cold teabags, cucumbers, eyeliner & mascara. Tweeze eyebrows thin as possible to rid of masculine appeal.

Bikini Area: Balmex or any thick diaper rash cream - wear for a day before exposure. OR vitamin E oil & aloe vera gel for summer time. Balmex works best. Use disposable razors only once down yonder.

Diet: Eat slowly and stop immediately when full. Never eat when you're upset -- take a long, long walk instead.
