Tylenol (Acetaminophen)

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to let you guys know about the medication Tylenol which is a brand name for acetaminophen. It is mostly used to treat headaches or muscle pains etc. It is a very common pain reliever that everyone uses.

Since it is available over the counter and anyone can purchase it without the interference of the pharmacist, most people don't realize the risk that is associated with it.

When you are in pain, you tend to just keep on taking pain medications without reading the Dosing directions that are on the bottle. It is advised to have no more than 4000mg of acetaminophen in 24 hours. So if your taking tylenol extra strength which is 500 mg, that means you can only take 8 tablets a day.

Most people tend to ignore that and the result is DEATH!!

So the point is, always talk to your doctor about your medications and any other medications that you are taking. Also, it is better to talk to your pharmacist about the medication to ask if there are any side effects or interaction with any other medications.

9 homemade Acne Masks

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com

Acne can be frustrating to say the least. Despite all of the products on store shelves, there are many individuals out there that have turned to making their own masks like me. I prefer churning out my own home made goodies mostly because I’m not sure what store products contain. It just feels safer and more natural this way. Plus, I am a big believer in if you cannot pronounce the ingredient in it, then it’s best not to use it.  So here are the 10 best home made anti acne masks that I have personally used…

9. Heavy Cream Easy to Use Facial Mask

The ingredients in this mask consist of heavy cream (1 tablespoon), honey (1 tablespoon) and baking soda (1 gram). This is the fastest mask to prepare and it gets rid of acne just as fast!

8. Best Face Mask for 30’s

Fractionated coconut oil (2 tablespoons), 1 Egg Yolk, Honey (1 tablespoon), Yogurt (1 tablespoon) and Sugar (1 teaspoon). Mix all of these ingredients and process them in a blender. Apply to the skin and let it sit there for twenty five minutes, then rinse it off with warm water followed by a splash of cold water.

7. Best Face Wash for 40’s

This one is great for someone like your mom (assuming you are young and reading this). One way to slow skin ageing is to take care of it. This mask consists of peas (2 tablespoons), Evening Primrose Oil (1 tablespoon), Yogurt (1 tablespoon), Grape Seed Extract (1 tablespoon) and carrot juice (1/2 Cup). Mix all of the ingredients in a blender and smooth it on the face leaving it there for thirty minutes.

6. To Refresh Your Skin …

The ingredients include ¼ apple, ½ peach, ½ tomato, ¼ milk and 1 tablespoon of Almond oil. Peel all of the fruits and mash them up. Add the milk and oil into the mashed fruits and use moderate heat as you stir it. Do this until the mixture turns into a cream. When it cools, apply a thick layer to your skin and leave it there for thirty minutes. This mask will refresh your skin and keep pimples at bay no matter what type of acne you have!

5. Oatmeal Face Mask

Oatmeal is not just an awesome breakfast food, it is also great for the skin because it helps cleanse and exfoliate. It also helps unclog pores. Mix with honey and scrub it on your face to get rid of dirt, blackheads and acne.

4. Pumpkin Facial

Pumpkin is excellent for your face because it is rich in Vitamins C and E. It is also rich in mineral zinc. When you use it in facial masks, it is going to help tone and moisturize the skin. No more dryness!

3. Baking Soda Facial

This is one of the most popular ingredients you will find in homemade acne masks. It really treats acne because it helps get rid of the oil and prevents pimples. It also works as a natural exfoliant.

2. Citrus Fruit Facials

Citrus fruits, such as grapefruits, oranges, lemons and limes will do wonders for the skin. They have natural antiseptic properties, so they get rid of germs which is one reason why you can’t seem to get rid of acne and they will also help to reduce oil. Choose the citrus of your choice and mix it with wheat flour in order to make a paste. Leave it on your face for twenty minutes, then rinse.

1. Aspirin Mask

This one has worked on some people out there, so I figured it is worth the try. It consists of 5-6 uncoated aspirin, lime juice, 1 drop of honey and 1 tablespoon of yogurt. Trust me, this one is better than the best acne products out there.
There are many homemade anti-acne face masks that you can try out. Why would you want to buy one from store shelves, when you can make them yourself and KNOW just what is in it? How many of you out there make your own masks? Share the recipes with me!

8 Steps to follow to get perfect RED LIPS

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com

Red lipstick has always been a hit, but it’s done wrong so much that it can be too scary to try. Done right, though, it can look gorgeous, and be the extra finishing touch to complete your look for that first date or for a fun night partying it up with the girls or for a quiet dinner with your sweetheart . Here is my fast and easy guide to getting it right!

1. Maintenance

Photo Credit: pyza*
Brush your teeth and do it right. Not only will this get rid of bad breath but will also help keep your teeth sparkling white. If you need to, use a whitener. It’s just not a pretty sight to see red lipstick with unattractive teeth.

2. Choose a shade

Photo Credit: Co®tex™
Different shades of red suit different people so don’t just buy the first red lippie you see! Experiment with different shades and see what suits you best. Also, different occasions and  places require different shades. A bright red may just not be appropriate as work makeup.

3. Vaseline

Photo Credit: TheDamnMushroom
Apply a small amount of Vaseline around your lips. Try not to go over the edge, or to use too much! If you find it hard to apply, use a cotton bud lightly dipped in. This will help soothe chapped lips and also help the lipstick stick on better.

4. Apply the lipstick

Photo Credit: pinklilyblossom
Now apply your  carefully picked lipstick. Don’t worry too much about the outside, as we’ll deal with that next, just try to give an even coverage.

5. The trick!

Photo Credit: photophilde
Use a clean cotton bud to remove the Vaseline and any lipstick that has gone of the edges of your lips. This will give you a more professional finish, and leaves your lips looking luscious!

6. Blot

Photo Credit: lost_mitten
Use a tissue to carefully blot your lips. This is important, but most people skip it! Make sure you gently dab your lips, rather than wiping them. Ofcourse this step should be followed for all lipsticks!

7. Gloss

Photo Credit: eleigurl
Depending on where you are going, sometimes a touch of lipgloss is the perfect finishing touch. Try to use your finger to apply it, or have a lipgloss specially for red lips, because the lip colour might stain the applicator otherwise.

8. Keep your face neutral!

Photo Credit: danny sahne
Let your lips do the talking, and keep the rest of your make up to a minimum. Smoky eyes are a big no no! You’ll look much better that way, and look instantly classy.
Red lips are the perfect way to finish so many outfits, so don’t be scared to try it out! It’ll take less than five minutes when you are used to applying it, and worn right, it is a classy and professional look. I love my red lipstick! Have you got a tip for applying red lippie? Please share it with me!

7 UPSCALE CONSIGNMENT SHOPS

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com

Do you have Prada taste but a Target budget? Rather than spending a little money on a not-so-great knock-off, consider buying a few key items at an upscale consignment shop. They have all the designer goodies you crave, but at a fraction of the cost. Not sure where to look? Here’s my list of the seven best upscale consignment shops, all of them online!

1. Jill’s Consignment

What they sell: designer shoes, handbags, jewelry, accessories
At Jill’s site, you can window-shop, buy a gorgeous designer handbag, pair of shoes, or accessories, or sell from your own closet! They feature top brands, from Bottega Veneta to Versace, and everything in between. All of their items are guaranteed to be authentic, too.

2. Couture USA

What they sell: everything designer and fabulous!

What they sell: funky, eclectic designer goodies
If you’re looking for a classic wardrobe staple from Chanel or a funky pencil skirt from Marc Jacobs, this is the site you need to visit. They have everything!

5. Tra-Tutti

What they sell: Everything an aspiring designer diva could want
This site is tailored to the younger crowd, and I love their hip site design! They let you shop any way you want, and they also donate 20% of purchases to charities like Big Brothers Big Sisters. Tra-Tutti is everything glamorous, fun, and socially responsible.

6. Fashionphile

What they sell: the yummiest designer handbags
Maybe all you want it a pre-owned, gently used designer clutch to match that little black dress, or a shoulder bag for everyday use. Try Fashionphile, then — all they have is handbags! Not just handbags, the BEST handbags, from top designers. You can buy or sell here.

7. eBay

If all else fails, and you can’t find exactly what you want, try eBay! Unless otherwise stated in the specific item description, there’s no guarantee the items are authentic, but if you know your designers it might not matter! I have never searched for something I could not find on eBay, and the bidding process can be exciting and addictive!
Ooh! The handbags, the shoes, the dresses! I have three of these sites bookmarked for an hour or so of virtual window-shopping at my lunch hour. Have you found any to-die-for goodies at one of these shops? Or do you know of another upscale consignment shop that knocks your socks off? Please let me know!

12 Ways to break an engagement Nicely

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com

Breaking an engagement is never easy to do. It is always harsh. No matter who you are, it can be a sad moment. It is best to break the engagement now before you get married and then look for ways to get a divorce. We only live once and we do not live long enough to be married to someone we do not want to be married to. As much as the other person’s feelings matter, you cannot trick yourself into loving them. Here are some ways to break off an engagement.

12. Give him the ring back

 Photo Credit: C.Barr
Many girls have a tendency to forget to give the ring back and hold on to it. Why would you want to hold on to it? By giving the ring back, this is letting him down nicely. It’s like saying “thanks, but no thanks.”

11. Write a note

 Photo Credit: Linda Cronin
Writing a note sounds like a good idea. This way, you will be able to place your words exactly how you want to place them. If you need to start over, then you backspace or throw the paper away and write another one out. You can brainstorm before you write things down. This way, you are making sure you are saying it nicely.

10. Leave a message explaining it on his phone

 Photo Credit: ydhsu
Before you leave a message explaining it on the phone, you need to sit down and think about what you are going to say. You do not want to be rude during this message.

9. Send an email

 Photo Credit: boukesalverda
Sending an e-mail is just like writing a letter. Sometimes, it is the best way to go. Type it out and hit send. You do not have to worry about delivering the message to him. Technology will do it all for you.

8. Sit down and explain it to him

 Photo Credit: Seattle Miles
My choice would be to sit down and explain it all to him. Explain why you do not want to get married. It is best to tell him that it’s not his fault.

7. Tell him “I’m sorry, but…”

 Photo Credit: combatron4
“I’m sorry, but I just don’t want to be married yet. You’re a nice guy and all and if I wanted to get married, I would marry you, but I want to wait a bit longer, so here’s your ring back.” That’s all you have to say. Tell him nothing will change your mind.

6. Tell him you need to go to college first

 Photo Credit: Ryan Brenizer
If you have never went to college, then tell him you need to go to college first. Let him know that it will be far away and him moving is not an option. You need to have your full concentration and being married to someone will not give that. You need to think of yourself.

5. Talk with him about your change of heart

 Photo Credit: The Benbow
When you talk to him, it is important to explain your change of heart to him. What caused you to make this decision? Is there another guy? Do you not see a future? What is it?

4. Be honest

 Photo Credit: May Dantas
When you speak with him, it is important to be honest. Give him enough respect and do not lie to him. If you cheated on him, then tell him. If you can’t marry him because of your religious beliefs are different (I have heard of this one), then let him know.

3. Don’t be rude

 Photo Credit: dogfacedboy
When you are speaking with him, do not be rude. Expect him to get upset, he may even yell a bit. Let him know that you are sorry for wasting his time. Show respect.

2. Don’t yell

 Photo Credit: Åsta
In number 3, I told you he may yell. When he yells at you, do not yell back at him. I am not saying to sit there and take it, but at least speak calmly. Two people getting upset is no good. If push comes to shove, say what you need to say and then leave.

1. Ask him/her if things are meant to be

 Photo Credit: ZKcrew
Tell him you two are not meant to be married. It is best if you just remain friends. You come from two different worlds and cannot see yourself marrying him.
Those are 12 nicest ways to get out of an engagement. After you do this, you may want to look at my other blog post on here, “ways to avoid your ex.” So, are you in an engagement and need to get out? Is there a reason? Have you ever ended an engagement?

Ten signs of Alcoholism

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com

Photo Credit: *Evelina*
If your loved one often drinks alone, or hides their drinking, then they may have a drinking problem and it may be time for you to get them to cut down or stop altogether. Drinking alone can mean drinking at home by themselves, or even drinking at a pub without a friend going with them. If they hide their drinking, you may not know of it right away so look for signs…

2. Losing time

Photo Credit: JavaJunky
If someone you love drinks to the point where they black out or lose chunks of time, then they almost certainly have an alcohol abuse problem. However, some prescription drugs, in combination with even a small amount of alcohol, may have the same effect. Such drugs include sleep aids and painkillers. You may want to have a look at their medicine cabinet.

3. Drinking regularly, often

Photo Credit: Thomas Hawk
Though there is no specific formula for determining whether or not someone is an alcoholic, this is the accepted standard for MODERATE use (anything MORE than this may indicate ABUSE): no more than two alcoholic beverages per day for men, and one alcoholic beverage per day for women. If you notice your friend drinking more than a glass of wine every night, it may be time for a rescue mission.

4. Building a tolerance

Photo Credit: newflickr: jadeluxx
If you’ve noticed that it takes longer for your loved one to get buzzed up, or more drinks to get drunk, then they may be drinking so much that they’re building a tolerance. This is a good indicator that he or she is drinking more than they should, and regularly.

5. Seeing an effect on work

Photo Credit: Lorna Hosie Mosie
There are people who are alcoholics but who are high-functioning, meaning that it doesn’t have an impact on their ability to perform their duties at work or at home. But if someone’s quality of work is slipping and they seem to be more stressed out, or if they’re taking more sick days, they may be developing an alcohol problem. You may need to be concerned.

6. Seeing an effect on loved ones

Photo Credit: Kristin Brenemen
Many alcoholics take out their frustrations and depression on their loved one when they’ve been drinking. If you’ve noticed this kind of behavior, it may indicate alcoholism, and other, deeper issues.

7. Losing interest in hobbies

Photo Credit: dave jepson
He used to go to the gym after work, now he goes to the pub. She used to love gourmet cooking, but now she orders take-out every night. This is another warning sign of alcoholism and of depression, which often go hand-in-hand.

8. Physical withdrawal

Photo Credit: Thomas Hawk
If you notice that someone you love suffers physically when they haven’t had a drink, then they may be going through withdrawal, which is a clear indication that they have an alcohol problem. This is different from a hang-over; this is a physical response to NOT having alcohol, not a response to having TOO MUCH alcohol the night before.

9. Not being able to stop

Photo Credit: minimalistic
Everyone else can stop after two beers, but he can’t. He has to be piss-drunk every single time he drinks. He has to drink all of the beer. He has to finish the whole bottle of wine. If he can’t stop drinking once he starts, then he most certainly has a drinking problem. It’s time to step in.

10. Getting irritable if they can’t drink

Photo Credit: theonashow3
It’s Saturday night and girl’s night out, but she can’t wait to get to the drinks. She’s cranky and irritable because she needs a drink, but she can’t have one yet. If she does this often, she may have a drinking problem. It’s time to schedule a girl’s night out that doesn’t include cocktails, and see what happens.
If you’ve read through this list and two or three of these, or more, describe your loved one, then you may need to do a little more probing to see if they might be an alcoholic. While there is a stigma to having such an issue, it’s not the end of the world. There is hope. There is treatment. Set aside time for a one-on-one, non-confrontational conversation, and be truthful. You may just save someone’s life.

12 most Common things couples argue over and How to Avoid it

Anyone who is in a relationship is going to argue with their partner. It is something that is inevitable. Did you ever wonder what other couples argue about? Well, I have done my research and have found some things couples argue about. So, here is what couples argue about…

12. Children

 Photo Credit: nicointhebus (nicolas monnot)
The disputes and discussions about children are never going to end. You may fight whether you should have children or not. Then, once you have kids, you will fight about how to raise them, what they eat, how your family thinks you should raise them, how much money to spend on them, how long the hair should be, who they should hang out with, how many video games they should have, their bedtime… and the list will go on.
Work it out – The best thing to do would be to communicate. While you may never agree with one another, you can find an agreement that you both agree with.

11. Career

 Photo Credit: Lincoln ~
Do you both work or does one work? How much time are you willing to let the other individual devote to their career? Does it affect your family time? Do you like your partner going on business trips all the time?
Work it out – sit down and speak with one another about this. Plan some time together and show them that the career does not always get in the way. Tell them that is how you make money to help do your part in the family. You may also want to plan a vacation to look forward to.

10. Money

 Photo Credit: Tomitheos
Yes, couples argue over money. I have always said I would never let money come in between my marriage and I am succeeding at that one.
Work it out – Having no money can be stressful, but as long as you have each other, you can work it out. Try some better financial planning.

9. Sex

 Photo Credit: melindalee70
Yes, a good sex life with your partner would be nice. It helps the bond grow deeper and stronger. The longer couples are together, the greater their sex life will suffer. This is a common area couples argue about.
Work it out – Again, sit down and talk to each other. You should be open with your partner. Tell him/her what you like. Tell them what you do not like. Voice your opinion.

8. Housework

 Photo Credit: sosij
Housework is something that we all have and it is a big conflict between many couples. If the partner feels they are putting in more effort in cleaning the house, then it can bring up an argument.
Work it out – Love and respect are the ingredients in a relationship. Housework has a tendency to become a battleground where you fight for those ingredients. Sit down together and talk to one another about the housework. How did your parents handle it? How does it affect you today?

7. Leaving the toilet seat up

 Photo Credit: SeeEmilyPlay.
Yes, if you are a female, then you may know exactly what I am talking about. Does your guy leave the toilet seat up or is he considerate and KNOWS his aim is not as good as he thinks it is? Believe it or not, many couples argue about this.
Work it out – You could always write a letter in bold letters and post it on your toilet or you could constantly remind them to put the toilet seat up when they pee. One day, it’ll sink into their head.

6. Toenail clippings

 Photo Credit: Ace Angel
Okay, do they clip their toenails and leave them laying around on the couch? How annoying is this? I am never at the root end of this one, but it sounds annoying!
Work it out – Speak with them and tell them how it disturbs you.

5. The in-laws

 Photo Credit: knitkid
Arguments about the in-laws can come up in many cases. Those in-law jokes did not just write themselves.
Work it out – Speak to your partner and tell them what you do not like about the in-laws. Maybe the two of you can work something out with the in-laws. Prioritize your own relationship and work as a team. Never side with the parents or disagree with your spouse.

4. Snoring

 Photo Credit: Out_of_place
Yes, snoring can be an annoying topic. I actually watched a Dr. Phil show on having a partner that snored a lot. Not everyone can solve this problem and go get it fixed.
Work it out – Sorry, for this one, the way to work it out either involves sleeping in another room or wearing ear plugs. I chose to wear ear plugs each night.

3. What movie to watch

 Photo Credit: joel.spitsnaugle
Yes, many partners argue over which movie they should watch. This is especially true if the girl likes romance movies and the guy is an action kind of guy.
Work it out – Take turns picking out a movie. One week, let the girl pick the movie out and the next week, let the guy pick the movie out.

2. What to have for dinner

 Photo Credit: the brownhorse
This one may seem strange, because my husband and I always find something for dinner we agree with, but there are some that come from total different worlds.
Work it out – One night have your favorite and the next night have his favorite. Don’t always go with what you want to have. You may want to have an alternative available for those times where the other partner finds the food disgusting. Taste buds are different.

1. Ex-spouses and boyfriends/girlfriends

 Photo Credit: Co®tex™
Some couples have another person to worry about. They worry if they were as good in bed or if they are as good at cooking dinner.
Work it out – Realize that he or she is with you and not the other person. Speak with him or her about whatever is bothering you.
Most of all, when you are arguing with one another, you should not let it get out of control. If you have children, don’t let them see you arguing. Learn to sit down and speak with one another in a loving manner. Do you have problems in your marriage? What do the two of you argue about the most?
