The less muscular, non

you can’t outweigh ‘em, you
have to outplay ‘em.
Is there any better way to
do that than with the smart
use of flirtation?
It’s just an idea, but the
feminists might want to
think about flirting with
such a notion.
After all, it looks like to
me that our way is working
better than theirs.

Hydrangeas a good choice for home gardeners
One of the best plants for
your yard or flower garden
is the lovable mophead
hydrangea. (Mopheads have
flower clusters which are
large and rounded). Here
are a few reasons why they
are such good choices:
1. The blooms are some of
the most beautiful around,
and they persist over a long
season.
2. If you accidentally
prune away the new flower
buds, some varieties will set
a new crop by fall.
3. If you forget to prune
or refuse to do it, never
fear-you really don’t have to
worry with it. (However, if
you do prune, you’ll get
more and bigger flower
heads).
4. If you accidentally
plant them in the wrong
place, they don’t mind being
moved.
5. Humidity, which harms
many plants, is actually
good for hydrangeas, keep
ing them hydrated and
reducing the impact of sun
light on the leaves.
6. They love water, thriv
ing along creeks, near the
ocean, and in heavy, moist
soils.
What type of skin do l have? How do I take care of it?
Each of us have different
types of skin. Therefore,
we all have specific needs
depending on the type of
skin we have. We will
detail that types of skin and
see if you can identify what
type you have.
Dermatologists usually
categorize healthy normal
skin into five groups:
Normal/combination, dry,
oily, sensitive, and aging.
Here’s some information
about each category:
1. Normal/Combination
Skin: This skin maintains
a healthy balance. You can
have two types of skin at
the same time. Your T
zone the area formed by
forehead, nose and chin can

7. While they need water,
they will survive most
droughts.
8. They are fast growers.
9. They live for a long
time (50 years or more).
10. Deer and rabbits leave
them alone (the buds con
tain a cyanide derivative).
Hydrangeas are woodland
shrubs, thriving in filtered
shade in the wild. Make
sure, if you are planting
some, that they are protect
ed from the strongest sun
light of the day. Dig the
planting hole about twice as
wide and deep as the root
ball of the hydrangea. Then

set the plant in the hole so
that the crown (the place
where the stem meets the
soil) is just above ground
level.
Fertilize your hydrangea
at planting time and again
in early summer. Feed them
twice annually thereafter
also, once when the new
growth is beginning in the
spring and again in late
spring or early summer.
Snails and slugs can be a
pest of very young
hydrangeas. Older plants
don’t seem to be bothered
by them for some reason. A
shallow dish of beer nearby
seems to attract dozens of
slugs overnight-just make
sure that the rim of the dish
is right at ground level and
not too high. Hydrangeas
have few pests once they get
past their first year.
Remember that a
hydrangea’s flower color
depends on the pH of the
soil in which it is planted.
Give it an acidic or low pH
soil and the blooms are
bright blue. Give it an alka
line or high pH soil and they
are pink.

ment in hydrangea culture

occasionally but by the time
you are in your 20’s your
skin behaves quite nicely!
2. Dry Skin: After you
cleanse your face, your skin
feels tight. Your skin prob
ably flakes in cold weather
or after a hot bath. Dry
skin sheds skin cells in
clumps. It can look scaly or
red. Dry skin has become
dehydrated and craves
moisture!
3. Oily Skin: 60% of
women who get pimples and
blackheads in the 30’s and
40’s have oily skin/ Oily
skin has more melanin and
has a darker tone. Oily
skin tans easily and rarely

is the recently released
Endless Summer variety.
Developed in Minnesota, it
blooms on old and new
wood. This means that here
in the South we stand to get
two huge flushes of flowers
one in early summer and
the other in the fall, with
lots of blooms in between.
Endless Summer reaches 3
to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet
wide, making it just the
right size for a foundation

4. Sensitive Skin: One
very easy way to know you
have sensitive skin is when
you have allergic reactions
to food, fragrances, pollen,
etc... When you break out,
you turn red and blotchy or
feel itch and very uncom
fortable! Avoid using abra
sive puffs and scrubs. You
can use a gentle exfoliation

careful with the abuse of
exfoliants.
