Healthy Mashed Sweet Potatoes are a favorite in my house. They’re easy to make and so tasty. I like to make this recipe on busy weeknights because it pairs well with chicken and fish but they are also the perfect side dish to round out your holiday table.
Simple, wholesome, real food ingredients are all you need to make this recipe; sweet potatoes, olive oil, onion, garlic, rosemary, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper. No need for any sour cream or butter and if you wanted to keep them vegan, you can skip the yogurt as well.

Essential Beauty Tips For Women And Girls
Beauty can be about a lot more than making yourself look attractive. Most of the best ways to improve your appearance are also ways to keep yourself healthy. Learning how to cultivate beauty is not necessarily a sign of vanity; you can take many steps to make yourself look better and be healthier at the same time.
Lightly spray your face with a hydrating mist to make your makeup last longer. The mist will help set your makeup, keep it looking fresh and give you that just done makeup look for hours. This is great for keeping your makeup in place for those long days at work or nights out with friends.
Symmetrical faces are rated as more attractive in scientific studies. This means you need to seek symmetry. From trimming your eyebrows to highlighting your cheeks, keep it balanced.
If you eyes are red, no amount of eyeshadow or eyeliner can hide that, even if they give you striking eyes full of sexiness. Stow away eye drops in whatever bag you are carrying. Use your emergency eye drops to resolve any irritation issues, from sun exposure to allergies.
Use eye drops to liven up your face. Tired eyes can bring down your whole look. Keep a small bottle of eye drops in your bag and use them periodically, especially when sitting in front of your computer. They will not only freshen up your eyes, but make them sparkle too.
For beautiful nails, put top coat on top of your nail polish every time. Topcoat will not only keep your nails looking shiny, it will extend the length of time between polishing. Avoid substituting clear nail polish for topcoat as it is not the same product, and will not provide the same benefit.
To make close set eyes appear further apart, apply your eye makeup so it is heaver on the outer edges of your eyes. Use light eyeshadow on the inner half of your eyes and darker shadow on the outer half, blending the two together seamlessly in the middle. Then, to finish off the look, apply your eyeliner and mascara so that it is heavier at the outer corner. This will give the illusion that your eyes are set further apart.
Remember that drinking plenty of pure water is one of the best ways to stay beautiful. It cleanses your system and helps keep your skin moisturized, your eyes bright, and your joints well padded and flexible. Pure water can be considered a “fountain of youth”. Enjoying plenty of it will keep you beautiful throughout your life.
To reduce red tones in your skin, use a green based concealer. Because green and red are opposite from each other on the color wheel, the green tones in the concealer will cancel out any red tones in your skin. However, keep in mind that you only need to use a very small amount of concealer to counteract the red. If you use too much you can wind up looking green instead.
Boar hair brushes are great to help reduce frizz in your hair. A lot of people have frizzy hair, and have problems dealing with it. Using a boar bristle hair brush while blow drying hair can eliminate frizz. As you gently brush your hair, make sure the blow dryer is pointed in a downward direction.
If you have time for nothing else, focus on your eyebrows. Sometimes you might not have time to do your makeup. This is fine. However, if you still want to pull a look together, try focusing on your eyebrows. Shape them, brush them and be sure to fill them in. Eyebrows are often the focus of your face.
Applying pink lipstick is a little trick used to draw the eyes to the lips instead of any blemishes elsewhere on the face. It can help detract from the puffy eyes and acne you may have.
Use hydrogen peroxide to cure yellowed nails. Nothing is beautiful about yellowing nails. To fix this problem, soak cotton in peroxide and then wipe each nail for several strokes. Let it sit on your nails for a few minutes. Rinse your nails, and admire the lack of yellow coloring.
Filing your nails is a wonderful way of making them look healthy. When filing, it is important to only go in one direction. Doing this will make sure that you don’t get any breakage from causing stress to your nails. You also won’t have to deal with any hang nails that can snag.
To help your lip gloss last longer, apply lip liner first. Fill in your whole lip with the liner before putting on your gloss. With the liner applied, the gloss will have something to stick to, which will help it stay on all day long. For the best effect, use a liner close to the natural color of your lip.
Everyone loves the way a perfect sheer nails look, with long and tapered nails, but this is very expensive to keep up and takes a lot of time and patience. For an elegant look without all the fuss of expensive and painstaking upkeep, try using a short, round, and dark nail shape. File the nails so they are in line with the tip of the finger and round off near the corners.
To help your makeup last longer, layer it when you apply it. Place your blush over your foundation, and then set it with a powder. Layering makeup gives the makeup something extra hold, and also creates a softer, more youthful look. Primer is especially useful when trying to create layers of makeup.
If you have ever caught yourself peeling off nail polish because it had begun to chip, it’s possible you have done damage to your nail. When the nail polish is peeled off like this, there is a chance you are taking off a layer of the nail plate. This can cause your nail to thin out or crack. Opt for an acetone-free nail polish remover instead.
The tips above are just a few of the ways you can improve your appearance and your health. Today, beauty is about more than just looking good – it is about making yourself look better by genuinely being healthy. Reviewing beauty advice like this will not only make you more attractive but also keep you feeling good, too.
