A Look From Behind

The back of a car can really tell a lot about a person. I was driving behind a white Lexus SUV and on the lower corner of the back door was a round magnetic bumper sticker that read "lada" and Immaculate Conception School; on the left corner of the rear window was a transparent "Twilight" cling, while smack dab in the middle of this rear door was a magnetic bone reading 'I love my Springer Spaniel". It doesn't take Jessica Fletcher to detect that this is the car of a mother, probably hispanic, who has at least one child in school, is hooked by the vampire boy craze and is a very loving dog owner. I'm quite sorry her favorite radio station was not included although she obviously likes broadcasting her passions, perhaps at your next remote she'll add you to her potpourri of "likes" as there's some room left on that back bumper.
I've always had a soccer ball with the American flag on the back of my car; even after my kids stopped playing soccer I kept it on because it helped me find my black vehicle when it was parked in a packed lot. This is also a choice location to brag about her kids as another popular bumper sticker reads "My Kids is on the Honor Roll at Such and Such a School". And it's a prime location for your station provided the premium cost of an magnetic logo is in your budget.

She fact
The average person could save about $1,860 a year by skipping one restaurant meal a week, and about $400 by replacing bottled water with a refillable drink.
She scent
A Harvard professor has created an inhalable chocolate. Le Wiff coats the user's mouth with a chocolate taste totaling less than one calorie. About 24 whiff bundles will be offered online for about $50.
She sites
Move over Facebook, www.SnoodWorld.com is the new time waster. This game flashes her back to a '90s favorite.
She economy
This summer, the man running the Ferris wheel or handing out towels at the hotel pool might be a middle-aged, former business executive-not the usual college student.
She scam
Some online flower retailers have been advertising free shipping, where it's actually a scam that signs up the buyer for a membership to an online shipping service. The small print on this is easy to skip over-don't. Small shipping charges begin appearing on her credit card statement in hopes that she won't notice them. She can complain to the Better Business Bureau if this has happened to her and check out www.RipOffReport.com to learn more.
She's not so sure
- www.thisiswhyyourefat.com is not the best way to scare yourself thin.
- www.cutethingsfallingasleep.org is a good counterbalance.
She health
According to Yahoo Shine, Swiss research has shown women are more likely than men to develop lung cancer due to smoking. Even though they smoke less than men, women tend to have an "increased susceptibility to tobacco carcinogens."
She's lovin'
- Pop Chips: low in calories, never fried, and they are popped crunchy and delicious.
- Holey Donuts: great tasting donuts without the fat and calories. www.holeydonuts.net
She clean
Her makeup collection needs a seasonal cleaning just like her house. Here's a list of what she should keep and what she should replace:
- Mascara: should be changed every season (four months). She should take no chances with eye products; bacteria could cause an infection.
- Eyeliners: replace once a year.
- Foundation: replace once a year unless product starts to separate; then replace immediately.
- Concealer: replace once a year.
- Lipstick: replace every six months unless it's come into contact with a cold sore, then throw it and start fresh.
- Eye shadow and blush: replace once a year.
