HEALTHY MACARONI SALAD RECIPE
12 ounces elbow macaroni I used brown rice pasta
1/2 cup red onion finely diced
1/2 cup celery finely diced
1/2 cup yellow bell pepper diced
1/2 cup orange bell pepper diced
1/3 cup gherkins pickle diced
3 hard-boiled eggs chopped
For the dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 garlic crushed
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cook macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain well and drizzle with a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil so the noodles don’t stick together. In a large bowl, combine macaroni, red onion, celery, bell pepper, pickles, and eggs. Set aside.
In a spouted cup or medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, red wine vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the macaroni salad and gently toss until everything is well combined.
Enjoy immediately or cover and chill until ready to serve.
NOTES
To make ahead – This creamy macaroni salad is a great recipe to make in advance to really let the flavors develop. You can make it up to two days ahead of time.
Storage – Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Give it a good stir before serving.
Freezing – I do not recommend freezing this salad recipe. The creamy dressing will not have the same texture or taste the same frozen and then thawed. It’s best to make this fresh and enjoy it within 4 days. You can also cut this recipe in half if you are serving fewer people.

Learning The Basics Of Beauty And Style
You have already walked past beauty counters in a lot of stores. At these counters, you can generally have your makeup done by request. This article provides some tips for using your next stop at a beauty counter in a department store to your best advantage. You will also learn ways to enhance your beauty yourself.
Fill a tiny sample jar or empty pot of lip gloss with your favorite moisturizer. You can easily carry this with you in your car, make-up bag, purse or stash it in your work desk. When your face starts getting dry, add a small amount of moisturizer to it.
Take your time applying a fake tan. Make sure you have at least 30 minutes before going to bed or getting dressed. If you are in a hurry then wait to do it because you may get streaky results. It is important to make sure you properly apply a fake tan.
Live in a cold, dry winter climate? Find a winter-specific conditioner for your hair to help lock in moisture and prevent that annoying static cling to EVERYTHING. Use in place of your regular conditioner as soon as you start to notice dry air and discontinue use in the spring time.
Stretch the longevity of your foundation by adding a moisturizer to it. It will also add more SPF protection and you’ll give off a healthy glow.
Heat your eyelash curler with your blow dryer. Hold your curler in front of your hair dryer for a few seconds. Be sure to check the temperature before using it on your eyelashes because it could burn you. Your eyelashes will curl better with a little heat applied to them.
Use restraint when using shimmer, only applying it to areas that will catch the light. You be able to achieve a glow effect that looks gorgeous. When you use highlighter, put it on your brows, nose, and cheekbones; then set with loose powder.
Keep rosewater in your beauty supply kit. Rosewater is a remedy with roots in antiquity. Rosewater has many uses, from soothing sunburn to helping cure allergic rashes. It is the best toner you could use on your own skin. Apply daily after cleaning to tighten skin’s appearance and remove excess oil.
To make red lipstick last longer, apply powder and lip liner to your lips before applying the lipstick. First, powder your lips with your usual face powder. Next, draw a line around your lips and fill them in with a red lip liner. Finally, apply the red lipstick on top of the powder and liner, blotting with a tissue to remove any excess lipstick.
To make your eyelashes look thicker, dust them with a coat of loose powder before applying your mascara. Use a small brush to apply a thin layer of translucent powder to your eyelashes, taking care not to get the powder in your eyes. Follow up with a coat of your favorite mascara over the top of the powder.
When applying winged eyeliner, extend the line at the outer edge of your eye so that it follows the natural curve of your lower lash line. This helps it blend with the shape of your eye so that it looks more natural. The eyeliner should be thickest at the outer corner of your eye and then taper to a point at the tip of the wing.
Foundation makes for a great concealer. When you are out of concealer, you can use the collected makeup underneath this cap. This works perfectly in a pinch.
Make any eye shadow bend to your will. If you are bored with the shadow choices in your beauty kit, it may be time to get creative. Try using a moistened brush to apply your shadow. You will find it brighter and more interesting than it was before. Try it as an eyeliner too.
Lip liner is frequently used by women to give shape and definition to their lips. Please, please don’t make the mistake of using lip liner to “draw” your lips on, completely independent of your actual lip shape. You are far better off using lip liner to define your lip’s natural shape, filling in with lipstick. An artificial lip line is clownish, unsubtle, and unflattering. If your lips are thin, stick with a fresh color that’s not too bright – a berry tone, for example.
Use wool pads that you have dampened and stored in the fridge to help you refresh your eyes. It has the same effect as what cold cucumbers or tea bags but is a bit easier to do when you are on a tight schedule. You are really going to love the results.
To help you pluck your eyebrows, you want to hold the tweezers in a vertical position against the side of your nose. You then move the tweezers along your eyebrows, and you will see very easily where your arch should start and stop. This will ensure that you stay with the natural shape of your eyebrows.
Help reduce the appearance of the dark shadows and bags around your eyes by giving yourself a bit of a massage. Use some good moisturizer on your fingertips and massage around the eye area. It assists with lymphatic drainage around your eyes and will reduce the appearance of the damage.
Before you purchase any type of organic products be sure to understand the ingredients. Many types of organic products are completely unregulated and this can lead to problems later. If you trust the source, organic products can be a great, they are slightly more expensive option for you and your family.
Practicing good basic hygiene is an easy way to maintain ones beauty while doing things that help maintain the body. Showering, brushing ones teeth, and using deodorant are all ways that one can maintain their appearance for others with out doing anything hard or outside of ones daily routine.
As mentioned earlier, you might not know that the mall beauty counter sales associate can do makeup requests for you. It fun to discover new products and learn application techniques. Use these tips the next time you go shopping for beauty products. You will be feeling fabulous on the way out!
