I really would like to shape my eyebrows. However, I find it painful everytime I use the tweezers. I learned that it’s not advisable to shave because it will cut the hair strands. Thus, I’d like to use tweezers instead. Is there something I can apply to make the process less painful? – Arianna
Personally, I also find it quite uncomfortable tweezing my eyebrows, but since it is very unflattering to have an ungroomed, badly-shaped set, I will bear the discomfort. It’s really not so bad once you get used to it. What I do to lessen the discomfort is to make sure I tweeze after I take a warm shower. That way, my pores are still open and it really makes the process so much more pleasant. – Lucy
I read about the glutathione skin whitening pills, which are said to have antiaging properties. Are there other antiaging vitamins you can recommend? I’m a grandma in my late 50s. – Golden Granny
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that nourishes the skin and gives it a smooth, natural texture. CoQ10 fights free radicals to combat the signs of aging. Alpha lipoic acid and green tea extract enhance the antioxidant performance of the skin to prevent puffiness. Other "beauty" vitamins are vitamin C, beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamin B2, which you can find naturally in food. Then there are the herbs like bilberry, turmeric, grape seed or pine bark extract, and ginkgo. The latter are available in health stores like Healthy Options. – Tingting
I’m a Filipino immigrant working in San Francisco. A friend here told me about your 3-day diet (lose up to 10 lbs. in three days), which she heard from another friend. I want to lose some weight – it’s so easy to gain weight here, what with all the fatty American food, the burgers, and french fries. Is there any chance you’d be publishing it again? – Desperate To Lose Weight
We’ve reprinted the 3-day diet maybe a dozen times. The last we printed was the T-Lite 3-Day Diet Plan that promises a weight loss of 10 lbs. in three days, based on the chemical breakdown of the food ingredients. You can get a copy of the diet from the Internet by logging on to the T-Lite 3-Day Diet. But as with all diets, you can only maintain your desired weight through discipline when it comes to your food choices. Good luck! – Mary
