Heloise, America's queen of household hints, offers this aromatherapy tip for bookworms at www.sim plehomeremedies.com: "Place a drop or two of your favorite essential oil on the cool light bulb of your reading lamp. Enjoy the aroma while the light bulb heats up for some truly relaxing 'me' time."

SAVE THE PLANET



DOES IT SAY 'ORGANIC'?

Thinking of going organic? Look for these labels, suggests ShopSmart;) magazine and www.eco-labels.org:

  • 100% organic: made with 100 percent organic ingredients.

  • USDA organic: made with at least 95 percent organic ingredients.

  • Made with organic: contains at least 70 percent organic ingredients.

    FINAL WORD

    "Do not confuse goals with outcomes. Goals are conceptual; they represent the ideal state to which you aspire — the one that guides all your actions. Outcome is what actually happens, which may or may not be what you originally targeted on your success map."

    Jim Cairo | author of "Motivation and Goal-Setting: How to Set and Achieve Goals and Inspire Others"
