Skin Cleanser
Found in your own kitchen is a simple, chemical free cleanser good ol' unboiled milk. All you need to do is dip a piece of cotton wool in milk and wipe your face with it.

Time cook
Package freezer foods for summer schedules. Does everyone eat at a different time? Does dinner need to be taken to the ball field? Consider individual packaging in rigid containers or small freezer bags.

Eating fat makes you fat
Fat packs more than twice as many calories as the other two main food forms (nine versus four per gram of protein or carbohydrate). Since your body uses less energy processing fat than the other food types, more of its energy can be stored as fat. Some fat is absolutely essential to good nutrition--but most people eat almost four times as much as they really need. You actually only need about 10 percent of your calories from fat to be healthy, but the typical American manīs diet is 35 to 40 percent fat.

Protein pumps you up
Protein is what muscles are made of. It contains nutrients (amino acids) that are absolutely necessary to form muscle, and it helps repair damage to your body from illness or surgery. Your minimum need for protein is related to your body size and your activity level. Protein levels can vary from 1/3 of a gram to one gram per pound of body weight. Experiment with what works for you, or consult a nutritionist who can help you get it right.

Spice Up Food
Herbs and spices provide different flavor to the same foods--try pasta with basil, then flavor with rosemary. Season a baked potato with dill and steamed veggies for a quick meal. Steam, stew, or saute chicken breasts for a quick entree. Use canned fruits for nutrition with longer storage.

Microwave
Pre-cook for easy microwave re-heats. Most of us don't feel like turning on the oven every day in the summertime. Cook all of your meatballs or casseroles during one big cooking session. Then divide them down into smaller servings for easy re-heats.

Clean it off with a wet tissue and watch your complexion glow. For dry skin, you could use a mixture of cooked oatmeal and honey; it will not only help moisturize the skin but also acts as a good cleansing agent.

Fueling your body with carbohydrates
Our immediate source of fuel is carbohydrates. Carbohydrates that arenīt immediately used by our body are stored in our muscles and liver as glycogen. Once the body has filled its tanks with glycogen, the excess carbohydrates are stored as fat. Between 60 to 65 percent of your diet should consist of carbohydrates, mostly complex (whole grains, legumes, potatoes, etc.) as opposed to simple (sugar, honey, corn syrup, etc.)
