Beauty Tips for the working Girl

Powder Your Roots

If your hairline starts to look greasy, dig up a big, fluffy makeup brush, and dip it into a pot of loose powder. Tap it once on the back of your hand to remove the excess, and then dust it over your roots. It mops up oil and blends into your strands, so no one will know you didn’t shower. (www.Cosmopolitan.com)
Scent Strands with Perfume
Spray a light shot of fragrance into the bristles. Run it through strands from roots to ends and your hair will smell amazing throughout the day. (www.Cosmopolitan.com)
Groom Brows with a Toothbrush
Mist an (unused!) toothbrush or eyebrow comb with hair spray to help flatten and tame unruly brows. (www.Cosmopolitan.com)

The children at home, Make them some Burgers

INGREDIENTS (Makes 4)
1 lb minced beef
1lb bone marrow, chopped finely or minced, or ask the butcher for minced chuck with 20% fat
Half an onion, very finely chopped
2tsp buttermilk or natural yoghurt
½tsp freshly ground black pepper
Salt

4 buns, English muffins or normal burger buns.

METHOD
Step 1: Gently fry the chopped onions in a frying pan with olive oil or butter until they’re cooked but not brown.
Step 2: In a bowl, mix the beef, bone marrow, onion, buttermilk or natural yoghurt, salt and pepper.
Step 3: With your hands, make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Divide into four. Shape them into burgers, about 2cm thick. Press the meat firmly together.
Step 4: If cooking inside and not on a barbecue, heat a griddle pan on the hob with a little oil until it’s smoking. Your aim here is to sear. Place each burger on the griddle and cook for 2-3min on each side or a little longer if you want them medium or well done. Don’t prod or squash your burgers or you’ll lose their all-important juices.
Step 5: Rest your patties for at least 5min after cooking; they’ll remain warm. While you’re waiting, top each burger with bacon, cheese or pickles, then sandwich in the bun of your choice.
