Editor's Note

Dear Subscriber,

August is here and summer is coming to an end. Now's the time to gather as many sweet smelling blooms of the season and preserve them for the long winters to come. Dot Com Women's new 'Flower Crafts' section has all the information that you need to start preserving flowers and turning them into lovely gifts and home accents. You can visit the new section at http://www.dotcomwomen.com/crafts/flower-crafts.shtml

Speaking of preserving and using dried flowers, 'Lavender' is a treat for senses, in whichever form it is used. This week, in 'What's Hot at DCW', you will find 'Lavender Crafts'. Scented Sachets, Eye Pillows, Aromatic Creams, handmade cards and more creative projects which make use of lavender in one or the other form and are great for giving as gifts or using yourselves.

FEEDBACK FROM SUBSCRIBERS

"Hi Lata. Great newsletter this week! I say that because every week the newsletter may not help each person but this week I found two things that I really appreciated.

1: The tip on the Gentle Facial Exfoliant. I really needed this and didn't want to spend money on an expensive facial cleanser. I will try this out.

2. The article on "How to help your downline". I have been signing up with companies and the person above me may not know how to train me. So I am so grateful to get this article. You are doing a great job."

HOT BUSINESS TOPICS

Google Adwords or Overture?

In terms of results, ease, minimum bids and utility, Dot Com Women members have been busy discussing which works best for their business - Google Adwords or Overture.

Both these are Pay-per-click search engines and the hottest ones around. Both are reputed to bring in extremely targeted traffic to your websites. Overture retains it's main benefit of being more user-friendly and Google outruns everyone else when it comes to sending targeted traffic to your website.

But this is only a generalized opinion. For each and every website, one works better than the other. So, we are not left with a choice other than the tried and tested 'trial and error' method. Invest a small amount, say $50, in each of them, and find out for yourself what works best for your business. Do let us know at the forums, which is your preferred PPC search engine, so it helps us make correct decisions as well.

You are welcome to express your views and opinions on this topic, and read what others have to say, at http://www.dotcomwomen.com/forums/adwords-overture.shtml


RECIPES

Spinach Puffs

Ingredients:

1 Box Frozen Chopped Spinach
1 Onion Chopped
1 Tsp Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
1-2 Cloves Garlic (Crushed)
Olive Oil for Saut?©ing
1 Box Puff Pastry*

Method:

In a medium skillet saut?© onions until they start to brown. Add thawed spinach, salt and pepper and garlic. Mix well and heat for a minute or two. Turn heat off and set spinach mixture aside to cool.

Roll out puff pastry into a 1/4" thick rectangle. Using a pizza slicer, cut into squares. Put cooled filling into the centre of each square and fold into shapes.

Bake at 400?° for 30 mins.


MAKEUP TIPS

Corporate Makeup

1. Less is More When entering the corporate environment, it can be a little on the conservative side. It doesn't mean you have to wear conservative makeup but you should definitely take it down a notch. Stay away from looks and colors that are too trendy and go with more of a classic makeup style.

For example, instead of glitters and high gloss lips go for sheer, shimmery wash eye shadows and softer, sheer lips.

2. Pick a Feature and Make it Pop Again, instead of playing up eyes, cheeks, and lips, pick your best feature and make it pop. The eyes are always one of my favorite features to concentrate on. Stay with colors that are on the neutral side for more of a classic look and then add a sheer fun color on the lid to bring it current.

And remember, the corporate look is all about looking polished....so don't forget to groom those brows!!!

3. Keep Your Lips Fresh Since you want to put your best face forward while climbing the corporate ladder, make sure to keep your lips in tip top condition. There is nothing more distracting than dry, chapped, lips with a dark colored lipstick on them. Put a lip conditioner on your lips every night before bed to keep them soft and smooth. If you have a lot of chapping on the lips, take an old toothbrush with a little dab of moisturizer and gently brush your lips. Apply a lip treatment afterwards. Before applying lipstick, use a nude lipliner to line and fill in the entire lip to grab and prime your lipstick

Vinegar and its uses

27. Freshen a lunchbox. Soak a piece of bread in vinegar and let it sit in the lunchbox over night.

28. Clean the refrigerator. Wash with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar.

29. Unclog a drain. Pour a handful of baking soda down the drain and add 1/2 cup of vinegar. Rinse with hot water.
