Have you ever woken up in the morning and thought you should apply casual make up before you head out the door for school/work? This article explains how to apply make up and still look casual(and hot).

Steps

Make sure you have the right materials. You don't have to buy all the fancy things at the expensive make up store. Inexpensive(but good quality) make up will lower your budget and keep you looking GREAT! If you need to, make a list of specific items you want to buy.(example: eye shadow, concealer, mascara, etc.)
Look at yourself. Will pink eye shadow look natural but also bring out your hazel eyes? Will that black eye liner look good on you because it matches your hair. It takes a while, but you must become color coordinated. Also, take a look at your outfit and jewelry. This has a HUGE impact on how your make up looks. Trust me.
What are you waiting for? Try it on! Try on your make up as soon as you get it. Usually, if you do not like the product, you could return it and get a refund. That purple eye liner will only look good if YOU know it will look good.
Check! Check! Check! Check to see if it looks casual. The red lipstick goes bye bye until the prom. You looked here on how to apply casual make up.

Tips:

Make sure it looks natural! I'm pretty sure you won't look casual with bright green eye shadow and ruby red lipstick! This is about the CASUAL look, not the clown look!:)
I would suggest you uses only concealer, mascara, eye liner(if needed), and lip gloss. If you would like to add a little brown/beige eye shadow, that is okay. Just don't get too wild on the eye shadow. We're talking classy, not junky, if you know what I mean.
Take your time! If you do not have a lot of time to apply make up in the morning, apply it when you get to work/school. If you do not take your time, it will look sloppy, and what's the point of putting on make up if it makes you look like Godzilla?

Want a Moist Turkey? Brine It. Now.

Have you ever ordered roast turkey when dining in a really good restaurant with a great chef? If you have, then you’ve probably wondered how they manage to keep the meat so tender and moist. Is it a secret ingredient, or perhaps some amazing piece of hugely expensive, professional cooking equipment? Actually, it’s neither. It’s all done by brining! Brining is the very simple and inexpensive process of “marinating” the bird in a salt solution infused with aromatic herbs, spices, fruits and vegetables. The salting process encourages very deep, cellular moisture penetration, which basically means less drying out during roasting...resulting in a moister bird.
