I could eat corn on the cob every day in the summer and never tire of it. Especially if it is covered in this yummy butter. Fun, easy recipe from my beloved Southern Living Magazine.

Charred Corn With Garlic-Herb Butter

• 8 ears fresh corn, husks removed
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Garlic-Herb Butter (recipe below)
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Garlic-Herb Butter

• 1 (5.2-oz.) container buttery garlic-and-herb spreadable cheese (such as Boursin), softened
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 teaspoons minced curly leaf parsley
• Sea salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Stir together cheese, butter, parsley, and sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Preheat grill to 350° to 400° (medium-high) heat. Brush corn with olive oil. Grill corn, covered with grill lid, 20 minutes or until charred, turning every 4 to 5 minutes. (Some kernels will begin to char and pop.) Remove from grill; brush corn with Garlic-Herb Butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with remaining butter.

I have found the perfect eye shadow color for me. It may not be the perfect color for you, granted, but the Stila Eye Shadow Compact in Puppy does it for me. It’s not too dark, it’s not too light, is very pigmented, goes on smoothly and doesn’t crease. It’s also a matte finish, which is the only type of eye shadow you should be wearing if you are over 50.  No glimmer, shimmer for me. The shimmer shades just seem to emphasize my wrinkles.  That is a look I want to avoid.

These individually pressed formulas, from classic neutrals to the hottest fashion hues, are long-lasting and easy to apply. Plus, the compacts are biodegradable and the Eye Shadow Pans can be popped out to create your own perfect palette. Stila Eye Shadow shades are known for their high-quality formula and texture, which can be worn wet or dry. These eyeshadows come in 41 colors, so you are sure to find the perfect color for you.

 InStyle and Allure Magazines have both awarded Stila Best Beauty Buys and Best in Beauty. And now it has my endorsement as well!

Love this site. Can’t wait to get to the beach. Please.

I have been using a Muscle Therapy Foam Roller for about two years now. I noticed my outer thighs were getting very cramped, and could literally feel the knots in my thighs. My massage therapist told me my IT bands were tight, and that a foam roller would help work out the knots. I didn’t even know what an IT band was before this conversation. She was right. (She always is).

I purchased a foam roller from Target. You can find them at every big supermarket in the fitness area, or buy on line. A foam roller is very hard so don’t be fooled by the word “foam”. There is nothing soft about it. And it hurts like a mutha while rolling across my thigh – I mean my IT band.

This is the position I use to roll across my pain. And the pain lessens as the foam roller does its magic. I watched a video on YouTube to learn how to properly use the foam roller. The link above to a foam roller on amazon.com comes with a video. I would suggest that if you have a specific area you want to target, you just cue that into youtube and watch how to relax your particular area.

Foam rollers are great relieving any kind of muscle tightness, so you can use for your back or shoulders too. It’s good for stretching out your muscles after a workout too.

If you have never tried a foam roller, and have some stiffness that just will not go away, do some research and see if one would help you. For about $20 it is well worth the gamble to see if it helps you.

PS, my son the mega athlete, told me he tried a foam roller once at the gym and it didn’t hurt him at all. He didn’t understand what they were for. People like him don’t have pain, or they are just such trained machines they take care of themselves better than me. It’s painful, I dread doing it, but much like working out, it always feels better afterwards!
