Tired of your makeup not lasting, or being too sheer? Try theatrical makeup! Regular makeup that you purchase in a drugstore or department store is usually 2-3% pigment, whereas theater makeup is around 10%. It's reasonably priced, and lasts longer because you don't need to use very much. It's not all garish colors either - there's a lot of very natural tones that match a lot of skin tones. Ben nye and Mehron are two of the top brands to check out - go to their websites and find local dealers.

With Gmail, you can use a plus sign in your email address, after which you can put any characters and the email will still be delivered to your inbox. This is a great tip for spam filtering. For example, when you want to register with the New York Times, you can give them your email as: youremail+nytimes@gmail.com. Then if you start getting spam to that email address, just filter it. Note: Some websites improperly exclude the plus sign as a valid e-mail character (even though it isn't).
When you create a Gmail account, you actually get two email addresses -- one is username@gmail.com while the second email address is username@googlemail.com. Your inbox will contain all emails to both addresses. Knowing this, you can give out one version to your close friends and family and use the other to signup for web services, etc. This will easily allow you to filter, detect and delete spam.
Let's assume you use a medication that requires 2 pills a day (60 a month). By doing a little research with my health insurance provider I found out that they will pay for up to 100 of these pills per month. My doctor now writes me a script for 100 pills and as a result I do not have to pay as many co-pays nor do I have to go to the pharmacy as often. Note: This works for many medications, check with your health insurance provider to find out if you can benefit from this tip. Additionally, you can ask your doctor if a higher dose can be prescribed and the pills can be split. Many times the prices of the medications is nominal from the 50mg to 100mg pill.

Last November Youtube announced that they were testing out encoding videos at higher resolutions (with better audio as well). To access the higher quality video, all you have to do is add a small "tag" to the end of the existing video URLs. Try adding "&fmt=6" to the end of the address line and you can bump the resolution from 320x240 to 448x336. Add "&fmt=18" to the end of the URL, and you might get an MP4-encoded version, with better audio and a 480x360 resolution. Note: This works best with recent videos.
