your favorite color, Mommy?” Given the fact that I named him Grey, you can probably guess my answer. I think he’s truly curious about my color preferences, but there’s definitely a part of him that just wants to make sure he’s still top of my list. When I say, “It’s grey, of course!” I’m telling the truth. And my affinity for the different shades of grey varies by year, season and purpose — for instance, we’re currently redoing our kitchen cabinets, and I’m totally torn between soft, buttery putty and dark, saturated charcoal.

That said, grey has not always been my go-to. Before I started kindergarten, my mom decided to redecorate my room — and I knew exactly and passionately what colors it had to be: pink and purple.

And not just any purple. I wanted a rich, deep shade that could be described only by that name — not lilac, not mauve, not lavender or periwinkle, just plain purple. Once the room was done, it made me happy every time I entered it…and woke up in it…and played in it!

F R O M T H E E D I TO R

There is just something about color that gets you on a visceral level. And it’s amazing how time, context and trends can affect your tastes. So, as much as I still adore my “greys,” I find my head turning at the vibrant tones that have made their way onto everything from rugs and wallpaper to shoes and lipsticks these days. As you can see from my new portrait, I’ve traded in my usual neutral palette for red and turquoise. It’s also making me feel like summer’s on its way. Yay! Working on these pages, I find myself irresistibly drawn to the stunning combo of island green and deep ocean (page 46); then I literally turn the page and fall hard for the fun, flirty shades of flamingo and citrus. Wow! The GH team has put together such an indulgent feast of color that you may find yourself in the same boat, bursting to add brightness to your home, wardrobe, plate — or wherever you need a little pick-me-up. Enjoy!

Is it inappropriate to switch stylists at the same hair salon? My normal stylist was on vacation, so I went to one of her coworkers — and loved her!

— Amanda R.

A: NO! IT’S YOUR HAIR AND YOUR MONEY —

plus, stylists are used to clients’ coming and going.

Since you’re willing to try someone new when your regular person’s away, you seem more focused on your schedule than on who’s cutting your hair, and that’s OK. If your old stylist asks about the switch, say, “Stacy gave me a great cut, and I decided to run with it.”

Q

I’m still mystified by highlighter.

Why do I need it, and how do I use it?

reflecting shimmer makes your face look radiant and refreshed, and it can even help sculpt features. The technique has been back in the spotlight with a buzzy new name, “strobing” — Kim K. is a fan, and there are endless YouTube videos — but it has always been the pros’ (and my!) secret weapon. My tips for trying it: First, find the right formula — for dry skin, pick a cream or liquid; normal to oily, try a powder. Then ID your best shade: If you’re fair, go for champagne tones; medium to dark, go golden.

Q: My lipstick always bleeds.

What’s the best way to stop it from feathering?

16 G H june 2016

HIGHLIGHTER HOW-TO:

Start subtle.

Using fingers for cream or liquid highlighters and a face brush for powders, blend a small amount in a “C” shape along tops of cheekbones, over and up to temples.

Amp up highlighter at night. For more impact, dot or dust highlighter on bow of lips, bridge of nose, inner corners of eyes and underneath arches of eyebrows.

I just bought new skincare products.

How do I know what order to apply them in?

A: The general rule is to apply products from those with the lightest texture to those with the heaviest. That way, thinner formulations have a chance to be absorbed and won’t be blocked by richer ones, says Beauty Lab Director Birnur Aral, Ph.D. Put watery products (like toners and essences) on bare skin; follow up with serums, gels and oils; then apply lotions, creams and balms. The final step?

Sunscreen, to absorb or reflect UV rays.

A: Intense colors, especially if they have a softer base, can tend to bleed. Feathering also increases with your age, thanks to more lines around your lips. But there’s an easy fix: Before swiping on lipstick, use a clear lipliner, like this one from Mary Kay, to line the perimeter of your mouth. Its translucent wax will help form an invisible barrier that keeps lip color inside the lines.

In a pinch, try an untinted wax-based balm like Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm ($4, burtsbees.com).

BEST SHIRT Water-based liquids like red wine and hot coffee rolled right off the Elizabeth & Clarke blouse’s viscose fabric. Even ketchup and chocolate washed out without a trace. But we did see staining from salad oil and from pigments like makeup and ink. Impressively, it held up very well to five washings.

TOP BOTTOMS Old Navy’s Stay-White jeans stayed pretty white. They washed well and shed water-based spills like coffee, red wine, cola and even soy sauce with ease. Hold on to your red lipstick, though, and have that hot dog without mustard if you want them to remain truly pristine.

SPOTLIGHT ON

MICHAELA CONLIN

As fans bid adieu to Bones after 12 seasons, we caught up with Michaela Conlin (she plays freespirited forensic artist Angela Montenegro) to talk about life after the show, confidence tips for tall girls (she’s over 5' 8") and the shoes she’ll be stocking up on this summer.

SO LONG, FAREWELL

With Bones ending, it’s a mixed bag of emotions. We have a family dynamic on set, and it’s been such a big part of our lives. I’m grateful for it, but also excited to try new things and keep growing and learning.

STANDING TALL

It took me a long time to learn, honestly, but you just need to be confident as a tall woman.

Own whatever you’re wearing, and don’t be scared of your height — I love high-waisted pants and heels!

SUMMER FASHION STAPLE

I burn through shoes very quickly, so a good pair of flats or sneaks is on my list. Also, a really cool one-piece bathing suit is a must-have for summer.

SWEET WHEELS Scoop up flavors like smoked chocolate and cinnamon caramel from the Stephen F. Frostin artisanal ice cream truck near the South Congress Hotel.

Let one color dominate from floor to ceiling.

If you find a dramatic statement piece in a bold shade, plan around it, as we did in this little boy’s bedroom. The antique lime chandelier dictated the whole room’s green scheme. When designing around a single color like this, be sure to work it into the space using a variety of textures, patterns and hues.

This keeps the look stylish rather than overwhelming.

Use color to sort and simplify.

Keep your home feeling bright and orderly with a simple palette. I gravitate toward a strong, calming base color — navy, gray or even pale green.

From there, you can add one or two accent colors — any more, and things can start to feel cluttered.

Opt for analogous colors (those next to each other on the color wheel), since they’ll blend better and won’t create as much high-contrast excitement.

ASK HELOISE GH’s stain-busting expert shares her fixes for household dilemmas and life’s little “oops” moments

Q

I left my daughter’s damp clothes in a bag for a week. When I got them out, they were covered in pink and black spots. Bleach did nothing. Hydrogen peroxide helped a little.

Now what?

HAVE A QUESTION? E-mail heloise@ goodhousekeeping.com.

MY SECRET WEAPON

FLOUR Better Than Talcum Powder!

1. Before you put on rubber

gloves to clean the house or wash dishes, dust hands so the gloves won’t stick.

2. After a day at the beach, sprinkle on feet and brush off sand and dirt with hands.

3. Soak up oil spills on a tablecloth with a tablespoonful.

— Charisse S.

A: Check the care label to be sure the fabric is bleach-safe, then rewash with chlorine bleach. Or, use hydrogen peroxide at full strength (70% to 90%).

It’s a milder, slower bleaching agent. Wet the clothes, squeeze out a bit, place in a small basin, pour in a 32-oz. bottle of hydrogen peroxide and make sure clothing is submerged. Soak a few hours — or longer — then wash as usual and air-dry.

helpful hints

Newfoundland Q Our dogs slobber on

our leather and wood furniture. I wipe it off, but the spots remain.

I’ve tried polish, dish soap with water…help!

— Peggi S.

Q How can I get the gray scratches off my white dinner plates?

— Amanda D.

Make a thick paste of 2 to 3 Tbsp. baking soda + 1 tsp. hydrogen peroxide.

Use a clean cloth to rub paste into plates in direction of scratches. Let sit overnight and then wash as usual.

Pretty plates!

A: You need a cleanser that’s strong enough to work, but mild enough not to harm the furniture. Try one part baby shampoo to two parts water.

Dampen a microfiber cloth with it and give the spots a good rub, then wipe with a damp, well-wrung cloth and dry right away. In the future, get to the slobber ASAP with a damp cloth (a dry one will leave traces of drool). Make up a batch of my formula, and you’ll be prepared! june 2016 G H 41

BUDDING MOGUL Christina’s love of flower design has blossomed into an eco-friendly empire in just five years.

THE FLOWER INDUSTRY ISN’T AS GREEN AS IT SEEMS. Just ask Christina Stembel,

38, who uncovered some ugly truths about this pretty business while working as an event planner in northern California. When she researched how to cut back on the costs of centerpieces, she was shocked to learn that about 80% of U.S. flowers come from South America and that half of the country’s flower farms have shut down as a result. Not only is that a loss for our growers, but it’s eco-unfriendly (and expensive) to transport flowers internationally — especially when we can produce them ourselves. “I couldn’t grasp why the flowers I used had more frequent-flyer miles than I did,” says Christina, who grew up on a vegetable farm in Indiana. “It was unnecessary.” In 2010, she launched Farmgirl Flowers from her San Francisco dining room, using $49,000 of her personal savings. She was determined to fix three major floral flaws: outsourcing, waste and aesthetics. Her last gripe was personal: “I was tired of spending $100 on a bouquet for my mom that arrived looking like a $7.99 bunch from the grocery store,” she says.

Now their bond is unbreakable

REAL LIFE

heart-to-heart

KATHERINE BENOIT-SCHWARTZ, 53,

describes a feeling familiar to many adults who were adopted as children. Without knowing anything about her birth parents, “I felt a personal disconnect from who I was,” says Katherine, who, with husband David, splits her time between Pine Island, FL, and Niagara Falls, Ontario.

“Growing up, I’d look at family pictures, and I didn’t resemble anyone.” As a child in Quebec, she had loving parents and got along with her three younger siblings. Still, as she moved into her teen years, she became more curious about her flesh-and-blood relatives.

Fortunately, Katherine’s parents were supportive of her wanting to know more.

Typically an adopted child is issued an amended birth certificate that replaces his or her biological parents’ information with that of the adoptive parents, but for some reason Katherine’s mom and dad had the original document. Her biological father was listed as “Unknown,” but the certificate revealed the full name of her birth mother.

In 1982, when Katherine was 19, newly married and pregnant with her own child, she had an overwhelming desire to meet her.

DEVASTATING REJECTION

Katherine was thrilled when the local phone book led her to her maternal grandparents. While they were not unkind, they offered her no information, telling her flat out that her mother did not want to know her. After that, they wouldn’t speak with her. “I was hurt and discouraged,” she says now. “But you either grow from something like that or you don’t.” Katherine kept probing. “Even though my biological mom wanted nothing to do with me, I still needed to find out my history,” she says.

Luckily, after she met with her grandparents, a maternal aunt called her out of the blue and over a couple of get-togethers provided some context (her aunt was then ordered, like the rest of the family, not to speak to her): Katherine’s mother 64 G H june 2016

SEPARATE LIVES Katherine, at 2, at her childhood cottage (above left); Casey at 19, camping in Germany (above); daughter and dad finally meet in 2015 (left).

“Although my biological mom wanted nothing to do with me, I needed to f ind out my history.” had discovered she was pregnant after she and her boyfriend had broken up.

Having a baby out of wedlock was taboo in 1963, so Katherine’s mother placed her for adoption — and never mentioned a word about it to her ex.

“What [the aunt] told me gave me hope,” says Katherine. Although her mother explicitly didn’t want a relationship with her, there was still a chance that her father would be open to one.

Finding him took on a new kind of urgency, says Katherine, because she recognized nothing of herself in the woman who wouldn’t even meet with her. “I could never be cold like my mother!” she says.

Knowing she was the product of these two people, she hoped for affirmation that her father had the qualities of forgiveness and compassion she did her best to show her own children. “I had to find [where] the

side of me that was caring and had a heart [came from],” she explains. “I had to know what kind of person my dad was.”

But how the hell am I going to find him? Katherine recalls thinking. Her aunt was unsure of her father’s name or how it was spelled, but thought he was called Casey Vandenberg. She remembered he had worked at a hospital, and although she thought he’d moved to the U.S., she had no clue where.

KEEPING THE FAITH

Even as Katherine got swept up in work and motherhood (she had a son, Lyndon, and three years later a daughter, Kristin), she kept searching. She checked phone books, and when the Internet became available, she regularly typed potential spellings of her dad’s name into search engines. Having divorced her

first husband, she married David in 2013, and he supported her search. When her daughter had a baby the next year, her desire to meet her dad intensified, so in 2015 she joined a genealogy site, hoping to discover relatives who knew him.

Nothing turned up. Katherine’s children, now 33 and 29, told her to keep looking. “It was their mystery, too,” Katherine says. “When my daughter became a mom, she wanted to know about any hidden medical issues in our family. And my son knew how much I longed to find out — he even went ahead and searched on his own without my knowledge.”

Finally, last summer — just as Katherine had thrown up her hands and wondered aloud “Where are you?” — an ad caught her eye. For $99, she could have her DNA analyzed by a genetic testing service called Family Tree DNA, which would match her with any living relatives in its database.

Using the kit Family Tree DNA sent her, Katherine scraped the inside of her cheek and sent the cells to a lab. Then came the

“He wrote and told me he loved me.

Sure enough, last September, just over two months after mailing in the sample, Katherine was watching TV when her phone alerted her that she had a new e-mail.

“I just knew,” she says. “I began sweating, and my heart was racing. When I opened the e-mail, it said I had a match.” Katherine’s DNA was strikingly similar to that of a woman in England. “When I saw that her maiden name was Vandenberg,” she says, “I knew I’d hit the jackpot.”

was able to access Gerdi Vandenberg Altman’s e-mail address, so she fired off a note explaining that she was looking for her dad and sharing the bits of information she had. The reply came right away: That sounds like my uncle Casey. The two got on the phone and chatted, and Gerdi promised to reach out to her uncle.

TOGETHER AT LAST

where Casey and his wife, Carol, lived.

When Katherine arrived in town last fall, she and Casey tearfully fell into each other’s arms.

The two have since made the most of their time together. Casey, Carol and their two sons and daughter have openly welcomed Katherine into their family.

Katherine’s children are hoping their grandfather will visit them in Canada this summer. In the meantime, Katherine and Casey are spending plenty of afternoons fishing and sharing a few beers.

“We’re like kids in a candy store now that we’ve found each other,” says Katherine. “We have an adult father-daughter relationship. There’s no baggage, just respect. We enjoy each other. Not everyone gets a happy ending, but I got mine.”

One of the best parts, says Katherine, is that she feels her dad has given her a gift.

“I am elated that I have gotten to know who I really am — I am pleased, to say the least.”

Says Casey, “She’s a hell of a gal."

Use all products as directed.

Casey, 82 and retired, was living in Cape Coral, FL. He was initially skeptical when his niece told him that he had a daughter he’d never known about. “At first, I thought, I don’t think so,” he says. But as Gerdi explained about the high DNA match, Casey suddenly recalled the woman he’d dated more than 50 years before. “I started to think back and realized, Oh, my God,” Casey says. “My wife of 49 years almost choked on her sandwich when I told her there was the distinct possibility that I had another daughter.”

Minutes after having talked with his

niece, Casey sent Katherine an e-mail introducing himself. “He told me he loved me and signed it Your dad,” Katherine says. “That touched my heart. I felt like my life had come full circle.” Later, he studied a photo of Katherine. There were unmistakable resemblances to his adult children, two sons and a daughter: Katherine had the same eyes and smile, and she was tall like they were.

Not long afterward, the two met via Skype, Katherine in Ontario and Casey in Florida. “I was shaking like a leaf,” Katherine recalls. But soon they were excitedly describing their families and introducing their dogs through their computer monitors. “There was an immediate bond,” Katherine says. “It was a shock to both of us, but we felt connected. I had no problem calling him my dad. I’d waited for him since I was a teenager, for 33 years.”

Coincidentally, Katherine and her husband had recently bought a Florida vacation home 30 minutes away from

THE AFTER PARTY, ANTON DISCLAFANI

Reclusive Lottie is an online star, authoring a wildly successful mommy blog despite not having kids (or a husband). When her stepfather dies, Lottie’s mom, sister and offbeat stepsiblings test how deep the love in their fractured family really runs. A witty, touching, unputdownable novel.

Two decades fly by in this breezy story of four friends who go very separate ways when they graduate from college. After a decade of coping with toxic men and more, they slowly circle back to one another. Debut novelist Adams movingly depicts the tough steps we take into adulthood.

A hilarious ode to every underpaid, overqualified 30-something stuck in a starter job. Tina is the broke assistant to a billionaire CEO. When an innocent mistake drops a chunk of corporate cash into her personal account, she morphs into a Robin Hood for her fellow flunkies.

Sharp and funny.

Mimi always knew her family’s farm was in danger of flooding, though her father stubbornly refused to sell. In this coming-ofage novel, she reflects on the forces of change that have shaped her life, and beloved author Quindlen offers up powerful insights about the meaning of home.

In 1950s Houston, glamorous young socialites challenge the rigid rules of their world. At the heart of the story are two wealthy girls — one motherless and raised by the family of the other — whose choices and intense friendship may destroy more than one life.

BARKSKINS, ANNIE PROULX

The first novel in 14 years from Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx (you know her as the author of The Shipping News and Brokeback Mountain) is the story of two settler families whose paths intersect, tragically and repeatedly, over the course of three centuries. In 1693, a pair of penniless, illiterate Frenchmen are woodcutters (“barkskins”) clearing Canada’s undisturbed eastern shores; swinging axes, both envision profitable futures. One man’s descendants ravage the land and gain riches. The other man’s progeny — of partial native Mi’kmaw blood — suffer as their people and ways are destroyed. Be warned that at 736 pages, this isn’t your typical light beach read — but it’s a tale too beautiful to miss, excellent for long afternoons spent swaying in a hammock.

I LET YOU GO, CLARE MACKINTOSH

A GAME FOR ALL THE FAMILY, SOPHIE HANNAH

UNDER THE HARROW, FLYNN BERRY

A child drops his mother’s hand and is killed in a hit-and-run in England.

As the police search for the driver, the boy’s haunted mother moves to a small town to try to rebuild her life. Mackintosh, a former U.K. deputy inspector, authentically details the investigation, using multiple POVs to add startling but believable twists to this novel.

After they leave the city for a quiet country life, Justine soon sees her daughter acting oddly.

When an anonymous caller vows to kill them if they don’t leave town, Justine digs to find out who, or what, is after them. This psych thriller features quirky characters — and a very sinister culprit.

The first chapter starts with a bang: The narrator discovers her sister brutally murdered, along with a particular detail that holds the key to finding the killer. She becomes darkly obsessed with tracking down the man she thinks did it — and learns that hunters can easily find themselves becoming the hunted.

THE GIRLS, EMMA CLINE

Prepare to stay up late reading!

This will be the buzziest book of the summer.

First-time novelist Cline creates a riveting character in 14-year-old Evie, who is resentfully drifting through her last summer in her hot, boring California town before being sent off to boarding school. It’s 1969, her parents have split up — and Evie falls prey to the emotional seductions of a Manson-like cult that offers the illusion of family to a cast-aside child.

The Girls alternates between a quietly terrifying buildup to horror and the adult Evie’s later perspective, presenting a truly unnerving psychological study of the forces that pull on girls as they form their identities and seek their definition from the world around them.

Our reviewer couldn’t stop talking about it for weeks — and your book club won’t be able to, either.

4 SURPRISING DISHWASHER SECRETS RUN THE TAP BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE.

Dishes need hot water to get clean. If cold water is sitting in your pipes, the machine will require more time to heat it, which can lead to poor results. Turn on the water to flush the line, then hit Start.

*Details, page 146

PICK THE RIGHT CYCLE.

The Normal setting is best for lightly soiled dishes. Bigger messes or mixed loads will get cleaner with Auto, which lets built-in sensors detect soil so the machine can adjust water and cleaning time as needed.

ADD HEATED DRYING.

New models may cut out or reduce a cycle’s drying time to save energy. Tired of wiping dishes before putting them away? Select a separate heat-dry option. Miele offers Extra Dry, which revs up fan time and final rinse temp.

TRY RINSE AID.

Using phosphate-free detergent with energy-saving machines can leave glasses spotty. Prevent this with GH Seal–holding Cascade Rinse Aid — its surfactants help water “sheet” off to eliminate spots and film.

A handful of red cherries may be your smartest nighttime nosh: “They can help raise melatonin production in the body, allowing you to fall and stay asleep,” says GH Nutrition Director Jaclyn London, M.S., R.D. Plus, eating foods high in fiber and low in saturated fat and sugar (instead of that leftover birthday cake) will help you fall asleep faster and get better-quality shut-eye, the findings from a new study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine suggest.

BUG OFF!

6 WAYS TO OUTSMART ZIKA Here’s your plan to insect-proof your summer so you can stay comfy and virus-free by MARISA COHEN

t

he itchy bumps from run-of-the-mill mosquito bites — well, they suck. But with the Zika virus in the news, you can add anxiety to the fun. While the risk is much smaller here than in South America, the type of mosquito potentially capable of transmitting the virus is in the U.S., so it’s wise to take Zika seriously: The virus can bring on mild flu-like symptoms or an autoimmune disease; if you’re pregnant, there’s a chance of serious birth defects. Below, how to keep the bugs at bay: Get rid of stagnant water.

Make sure there’s no standing water anywhere — on toys left out on the lawn, plates under your flowerpots or garbage in an open can. “Something as small as a bottle cap can be a breeding spot for mosquitoes,” says Jim Fredericks, Ph.D., chief entomologist for the National Pest Management Association. “The good thing is that they can’t fly very far, so if you can eliminate breeding spots on your property, you can greatly reduce the number of mosquitoes near your house.” One watery area you don’t have to worry about, though, is your swimming pool — as long as it’s chlorinated and the filter is working, mosquitoes will buzz right on by.

1

Hire a pro to check hidden spots.

An exterminator can inspect areas such as gutters, which can collect water and become a prime breeding ground.

While you’re at it, assess your window screens and replace any that are ripped, broken or not fitting properly — especially if you live in a humid southern state.

2

86 G H june 2016

Apply repellent, then do it again.

A lotion or spray containing DEET (it’s safe, even for kids, when used as directed), picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon or eucalyptus is your best bet for keeping mosquitoes away, but it will wear off after a certain number of hours, depending on the formula, says Fredericks. Read the instructions on that bottle of insect repellent so you’ll know when to reapply. And don’t forget to put it on kids 2 months and older, too.

3

Cover your feet.

Skeeters love sweat and bacteria, making your tootsies a prime blood-sucking spot.

“Aedes aegypti, the mosquito most likely responsible for spreading Zika, tends to bite on the lower part of the body,” says Thomas Scott, Ph.D., professor of epidemiology at UC Davis. Use repellent and consider donning high-top sneakers or high socks.

4

Dress for even more success.

Wear lightweight, light-colored clothes that hide your arms and legs. “Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors,” Scott explains. So relegate black and navy to the back of the closet and embrace those on-trend summer whites, khakis and pretty pastels.

5

Eat indoors.

Scott points out that while most mosquitoes found in the U.S. bite in the evening, the types thought to carry Zika feed during daylight hours. Especially if you live in the South, which is more likely to see Zika-carrying mosquitoes, enjoy that Cobb salad inside.

MOST ADDICTIVE

Terra’s Exotic Harvest Blend

“Delicious” and “slightly sweet,” said multiple Lab testers, who also adored the bright colors of the “real veggies” in this new blend.

LAB LOWDOWN: An ounce serves up 25% of the recommended daily value for vitamin A. 130 cals per oz.

BEST CHIPS WITH BUILT-IN DIP

SWEETEST SURPRISE

The “powerful flavor” of these salsa-infused munchies was a hit with panelists, who agreed “It’s like salsa’s already on them!”

I love to nibble!

How do I avoid finishing the bag?

I totally get it — I’m the same way. Here are my tips to put a lid on oversnacking: EAT BREAKFAST.

Bulking up your first meal has been shown to keep you fuller later in the day, even when the vending machine calls to you.

Aim for a hearty and filling 350 to 400 calories and a combo of fiber, protein and healthy fat (like unsweetened yogurt with nuts and fruit, or two eggs on whole-grain toast with tomato and olive oil).

SIP BEFORE YOU BITE.

It’s easy to confuse thirst with hunger, so drink at least 16 oz. of water or seltzer. If you still want seconds, go for it! Another way to check hunger cues: Ask yourself, If this snack were veggies or fruit, would I still be hungry for it?

REMEMBER, YOU’RE ONLY HUMAN.

13 to 15 regular-size crackers; about 30 mini crackers

120

Munching too much is normal, as long as you don’t do it every day. Resist the urge to beat yourself up, which will only lead to more guilt and overeating.

Instead, plan your healthy meals and snacks for tomorrow and start fresh.

TIPPING THE SCALE In 2011, Trixia was carrying 265 lbs. on her 5' 4" frame.

HOT DOG! Trixia’s golden retriever (here in 2015) went from an overweight 78 lbs. to a healthy 56.

“HOW MY DOG AND I LOST

140 POUNDS”

A short walk once left her winded.

Now Trixia and her running buddy, Charlie, are fit and fierce. Learn her secrets

by KATE ROCKWOOD

TRIXIA LASSITER WAS IN TEARS.

It was 2011, and her fertility specialist had just canceled her treatment because her body, at 265 pounds, was not responding to the daily injections that were supposed to help her ovulate.

“Nothing is happening,” the doctor told Trixia. “You’re going to have to focus on losing weight.” The brief walk to her car from the doctor’s office left the 24-yearold gasping. “I was completely out of breath, and my knees ached,” she says.

“I’d been in denial about my weight for

so long, but this was my breaking point.”

Overnight, Trixia made sweeping changes. She loaded her grocery cart with whatever seemed healthy, like bagged salad, raw vegetables and lowcal frozen dinners. Inspired by her doctor, who ran marathons, she got just as zealous about running: “I jumped in headfirst. I thought I could hop on the treadmill and power walk five miles.”

Over the next six months, Trixia lost 15 pounds, but then her good intentions gave way to old habits. A stressful day

might end with a Double Whopper and a large order of fries. “I’ve always used food for comfort,” she says. More than once, fresh foods she’d bought were left to rot in her fridge.

Then, at the gym, Trixia tore her Achilles tendon and was sidelined for two months. She was surprised to find herself relieved. “I was pushing because I wanted immediate results, but I now saw that what I really needed was patience and a plan,” she says.

So Trixia scaled back her workouts: She alternated shorter jogs with Zumba classes and hikes with her husband and her dog, Charlie. She also bought a Fitbook — a journal for setting goals and tracking food and fitness. “Writing everything down helped me notice OK, I can barely run a minute right now, but two weeks ago, I could only run 20 seconds,” she says. Her progress, right there in black and white, fueled her to keep going. A minute turned into a mile, which, after two years of training, became a half marathon.

At the same time, Trixia started mapping out her meals. “I can be pretty lazy when it comes to cooking, so I decided to do it just once a week,” she says. She’d jot down her food plan for the next seven days in her Fitbook, then prep and portion everything in the fridge — meals like Greek yogurt with granola and fruit for breakfast, turkey chili and crackers for lunch and baked chicken, quinoa and asparagus for dinner. “I bought these nifty Ziploc steam bags so that come mealtime, I could pop things straight from the fridge into the microwave to steam,” she says. Tracking also allowed her to see when she was most vulnerable to stress eating so she could avoid it. And if she did overeat?

“I learned to go easier on myself, then get back on track,” she says. june 2016 G H 97

NEW TRICKS Before Charlie lost weight, “we’d play Fetch and he’d struggle to keep up,” says Trixia.

Trixia and her husband, a Marine, have put plans for a baby on hold for now, but when she reached around 150 pounds, she began ovulating, which she attributes to having shaped up. At the moment, she’s focused on her fourlegged “baby,” Charlie — and running marathons, her first of which was in 2014. “I wasn’t very fast, but when I rounded the corner at mile 26 and saw the finish line, I had one of the most emotional moments of my life,” she says.

She ended the race with her arms in the air, and then came proud tears. “I started hugging random people; I was so overwhelmed that just a few years before, I could barely walk across a parking lot,” she says.

In the past two years, Trixia has crossed the finish lines of three more marathons — as well as those of 11 half marathons, an ultramarathon, a triathlon and more than two dozen shorter races. And she’s stayed the course with her healthy habits as well: She still writes down small, concrete goals; plans her workouts; and tracks her eating.

“I’ve learned how important it is to be accountable and organized,” she says.

Her weight now hovers between 145 and 153, but she no longer sees the scale as standing between her and her dreams — of running, of hiking with her husband, of becoming a mother. “I’m more focused now on seeing what my body can do than on what I weigh,” she says.

“I love knowing how far I’ve come.”

STAVE OFF BOREDOM. “I eat a lot of chicken breasts, salmon and turkey meatballs, and I use different sauces and seasonings for new flavors. Adding pasta sauce and Parmesan is an easy way to give something Italian flair.”

HIDE THE JUNK. “I don’t want to deprive my husband of a treat every once in a while, but I’m a big believer in ‘out of sight, out of mind.’ So we cleared out a cabinet just for those junk food items I didn’t want to see all the time. I try not to look!”

COMPARE YOU TO YOU. “I know I’m not the fastest runner out there, but I can only measure me against myself. When I see people struggling with their running, I want to tell them that I wasn’t always running marathons.

We’re each at a different part of our own path.”

NOT YOUR T YPICAL

HEADACHE

Some 27 million women suffer from the neurological condition known as migraine, and relief isn’t as simple as popping an aspirin. Help a friend, mom or sister power through the pain

IT’S NOT JUST IN HER HEAD The headache is only one phase of a migraine. The wave of nerve cell excitement spreading across the back of the brain when a migraine hits can cause an aura that makes a migraine sufferer’s vision fragment or shimmer. She may also become more sensitive to light and sound, get nauseated or vomit and feel confused and be unable to perform tasks she’d otherwise be able to do effortlessly. A tension headache might feel similar, says Dr. Grosberg, but usually is less severe, is felt on both sides of the skull and doesn’t come with the other debilitating problems.

100 G H june 2016

WEIRD THINGS TRIGGER IT A standard headache often comes on when someone is sleep-deprived or dehydrated. But the brains and nervous systems of migraine sufferers are wired to process input differently, explains Dr. Grosberg, making them more vulnerable to stimuli. Aged cheese, red wine, changes in the weather and bright lights as well as hormonal shifts, stress and eyestrain can make someone with migraines want to assume the fetal position.

SHE HAS TO TREAT IT ASAP Cut her some slack if she bails on plans and flops on her bed. “The best thing that you can do when you have a migraine is take a nap,” says Dr. Grosberg. It’s good to keep an NSAID with caffeine, like Excedrin, on hand, although she may have medication her doctor has prescribed.

She probably knows what works for her — e.g., a magnesium supplement, coffee or ginger tea. Offer her a heat pack or a cold washcloth to help dull her pain, and lend her sunglasses or an eye mask to protect her against light sensitivity. Give her room to recover, says Dr. Grosberg: “Find a secluded area, turn off the lights and keep quiet.”

The throbbing one-sided head pain she complains of may sound like a simple tension headache, but if your loved one has been diagnosed with migraine, make no mistake: She needs a little extra TLC. “Migraine is a neurological condition that produces a number of associated symptoms beyond just a headache,” explains Brian Grosberg, M.D., director of the Hartford Healthcare Headache Program in Connecticut.

You’ve heard all the buzz about mindfulness lately — and for good reason. In an increasingly frenetic world, our attention is constantly pulled in 30 directions at once. You’re reading to your toddler when your phone’s sudden ping signals a possible work crisis. Or you’re gulping breakfast while returning texts, barely tasting a bite. Even during a leisurely stroll meant to clear your head, you find yourself dwelling on regrets (“Why did I say something so idiotic?!”) or fretting about the future.

In short, our minds are often someplace our bodies are not, even when we’re (trying to) zone out on a beach chair with an umbrella drink in hand. And this state of hypervigilance — fight-orflight instinct constantly revving — can take a heavy mental and physical toll, contributing to everything from high blood pressure

and anxiety to insomnia and overeating, says Elisha Goldstein, Ph.D., author of Uncovering Happiness: Overcoming Depression With Mindfulness and Self-Compassion.

Not to mention crabbiness — a Harvard study that tracked 2,250 subjects’ self-reported moment-to-moment emotions linked mind-wandering with greater unhappiness.

Think of being mindful as the opposite of multitasking: “You’re intentionally giving your full attention to the here and now with fresh eyes,” says Goldstein. But don’t panic that you haven’t got enough time to commit to going fullthrottle Zen: You can dabble and still feel a reduction in stress. One study found that subjects who were introduced to mindfulness saw their stress levels drop after only

three days. “Even five to 10 minutes a day can help,” says Erin Olivo, Ph.D., an assistant clinical professor of medical psychology at Columbia University and the author of Wise Mind Living: Master Your Emotions, Transform Your Life. “The more you do it, the more you build the muscle of mindfulness.”

Which is why you shouldn’t bail if quieting your mind doesn’t happen

instantaneously. “People will say to me, ‘I tried this and I wasn’t good at it,’ ” says Leah Weiss, Ph.D., senior teacher at Stanford University’s Compassion Cultivation Program.

Just focus on your immediate experience, and when thoughts intrude — which they will — bring your mind gently back to your breath without judging yourself.

Read on for easy ways to be more mindful, starting now. june 2016 G H 103

PART 3

SIMPLE WAYS TO BE IN THE MOMENT

The key to being fully present in the here and now is to do only one thing at a time — that is, unitask — and be aware of what you’re doing while you’re doing it. Below, everyday tricks you can try observing your inhalations and exhalations is one of the most basic ways to bring your brain back to this instant, and you can do it anywhere, any time, says Olivo. You don’t need to breathe in a certain way or recite a mantra — just focus on the sensation of breathing. Feel how your chest rises and falls; hear what it sounds like when air enters and exits your nostrils.

Are you breathing with your mouth? Does your abdomen move, too? Does your chest fill up all the way? It’s all good — you’re just observing.

“When we pay attention to the breath, it does tend to regulate to a nice, steady pace, which quiets our whole nervous system,” Olivo says.

Start by doing it for a minute or so and work up to longer sessions if you wish.

Consciously cleanse. No, not with a juice fast — your morning shower provides lots of sensory stimulation to focus on. To keep your mind from darting all over the place with an endless to-do list, notice the warm water, the texture of that scratchy loofah and the scent of the conditioner. This is part of Olivo’s own daily practice: “I don’t allow myself to get lost in planning and 104 G H june 2016

worrying. If I start thinking about what to have for breakfast, for instance, I will say to myself, Just showering.” She suggests using this kind of basic two-word “caveman” language to quickly redirect your focus back to your current experience. In fact, any activity, even brushing your teeth or sweeping the floor, can be turned into a mindfulness moment, says Olivo.

Eat with intention. Ever

look down and wonder who hoovered up all those chips while you were watching TV? “Eating is one of those activities we tend to do most mindlessly,” says Susan Albers, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic and author of Eating Mindfully. She suggests trying intentional eating with an easy-to-peel fruit such as a mandarin orange: Hold it in your palm and study the vibrant color and the skin’s texture. Listen to the sound when the peel is broken. Take a deep whiff of the citrusy scent. Put each segment on your tongue, feeling the bumpy surface and tasting the sweet tang.

If you find yourself worrying about what a disaster your kitchen is, turn your attention back to the orange.

As if regaining sanity weren’t enough of a benefit, women

in a study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior who learned to eat in this manner consumed on average 300 fewer calories a day — probably because they became more aware of their bodies’ hunger cues and were able to stop when they’d had enough to eat.

Switch hands. Loading the

dishwasher or opening a door using your nondominant hand gets you out of autopilot so you are automatically more mindful, says Goldstein. Besides, it lets you experience a ho-hum activity in a new way. “One of the primary factors in happiness is novelty, which stimulates the brain,” he adds.

Color yourself calm. Book-

stores are full of adult coloring books, and Goldstein is all for the trend: “Coloring is an active way of focusing on one thing at a time. As a concentration practice, it is calming.” While you’re filling in the blanks, you’re fully engaged in watching your pencil cover each space.

See what shades you choose; notice what thoughts arise as you color. “It’s a playful, fun way to practice,” he says.

Be present with your pet.

You may have a furry mindfulness teacher curled up at

your feet right now. Spend a few minutes daily completely focused on your pet.

Run your fingers through his soft fur; stroke his velvety ears; inhale his scent; listen to his breathing.

Set a reminder. Some

Buddhist monks and nuns ring a bell throughout the day as a gentle prompt to the whole monastery to bring awareness to the present moment. You can add similar cues to your daily life. “We always have seasonal decorations on the front door,” says Weiss. “When I see that pumpkin or Valentine’s Day heart, that’s my reminder to make a mental shift. I tell myself that I can be here in my body as I open the door and not be rehashing that annoying e-mail. I feel my hand on the doorknob, feel the tension leave my shoulders. I feel my breathing. I might say to myself, I am not in the office anymore. This helps me be present with my family after a stressful day.”

And if computers, smartphones and fitness trackers are constantly pulling you out of the moment, use them to remind you not to get sucked in indefinitely: “One of my students changed the password on her computer to ‘breathe,’ ” Weiss says. Ahhh….

SKIN SECRETS under the sun

Sunburns are like hangovers — the real cure is not to get one in the first place. “Especially if you have fair skin, it’s easy to think, I get little burns all the time. I know how to deal with it,” says Crystal Aguh, M.D., assistant professor of dermatology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. But each burn you get ups your risk of skin cancer. Enjoy the outdoors without catching too many rays using these proven strategies

by JENNIFER RAINEY

Use sunscreen (even if you have dark skin).

A dark complexion offers some natural protection, but “no matter your skin tone, it’s not enough to ward off the damage that can lead to cancer,” says Melanie Palm, M.D., director of Art of Skin MD in San Diego and assistant clinical professor of dermatology at University of California, San Diego. Not to mention the aging effect of UV rays: “The breakdown of collagen, blood vessel damage, age spots, uneven pigmentation — it’s all related to sun exposure,” Dr. Palm says.

2

Don’t skimp on SPF on cloudy days.

UV rays can penetrate clouds, and some overcast conditions can even enhance sun exposure.

Scientists think that’s because certain types of clouds can reflect and scatter the sun’s rays, increasing the amount of radiation that makes it to Earth’s surface. Lotion up!

3

Find the right formula. Sunscreen comes in two basic types: physical and chemical. Physical sunscreen, also known as sunblock, bounces UV rays off the surface of skin, while chemical sunscreen helps absorb them. If you have darker skin, you may prefer the chemical kind, since physical blocks tend to be white, pasty and hard to rub in. People with june 2016 G H 107

acne may also prefer a less goopy chemical sunscreen.

Physical blocks can be less irritating, so they’re a better choice for those with allergies or sensitive skin. Not sure which is which? If the label lists only zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, it’s a physical sunscreen.

are generally not nearly as protective as creams,” says Amy Kassouf, M.D., dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic. But it’s smart to spritz any of your scalp that’s exposed with an invisible spray. Be sure to use a generous amount and rub it in.

4

Buy broad-spectrum.

The FDA requires that sunscreens dubbed “broadspectrum” be proven to shield against both UVA and UVB rays, the two major types. “UVA contributes more to aging damage, while UVB is what causes burns,” says Dr. Aguh. “Both increase your cancer risk.”

5

Squeeze out a shot’s worth. “You probably need to put on twice as much as you think,” says Dr. Palm. A full-body application requires about an ounce, or a shot glass– full. “For a beach day when you need to reapply every couple of hours, a fourounce bottle of sunscreen should only last a day,” she says. Apply a thick coating: “If you use SPF 30 but apply only half of what you should, you’re getting roughly the equivalent of an SPF 15,” Dr. Palm adds.

6

Try a spray to protect your scalp. When it comes to the rest of your body, “spray sunscreens

Eat to beat melanoma.

A diet full of colorful antioxidant-rich foods may reduce your skin cancer risk. One study found that a Mediterranean diet that included tea, fish and lots of produce was associated with decreased risk.

And there’s good news for caffeine addicts: Other research found that drinking lots of caffeinated coffee (at least four cups a day) was associated with a significantly reduced risk of malignant melanoma.

9

Check the expiration date. “Sunscreens are meant to last up to three years, but high temperatures can cause them to degrade faster,” says Dr. Aguh. The upshot: Don’t keep using last summer’s bottle.

10

Cover your ears… and nose, and toes.

Some of the most-missed spots — including lips, feet and the backs of the hands — can be toughest to

treat cancer on. “If you have to remove a cancer from the nose or an ear, there’s often not a lot of extra skin and tissue left afterward,” says Dr. Kassouf. “And cancers on hands and feet tend to be more aggressive.”

11

Dress for success.

Look for clothing with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) label, which is “great for superfair people who burn even with sunscreen,” says Dr. Palm. Your favorite white cotton tee probably has a UPF of only 5 to 8 (ouch!); darker colors and tighter weaves offer greater protection. You can also try our GH Textiles Lab pick, SunGuard Laundry Aid by Rit Dye, which temporarily GH LAB PICK: SunGuard Laundry Aid by Rit Dye ($4)

adds UPF to clothing. Then put on a hat and a pair of UV-protective shades.

12

Track your exposure. Why not have your smartphone remind you when to reapply sunscreen? A wearable tracker like the GH Engineering Lab pick, June by Netatmo ($129), wirelessly links to your device and lets you know when you’ve soaked up too much sun.

13

Read your Rx. Some prescription drugs — certain antibiotics and acne and heart meds, for instance — can make skin more vulnerable to UV damage. “You can end up with a very severe burn after just a short time,” says Dr. Kassouf. If the label includes a warning to avoid sun exposure, stay shaded during peak sun hours (10 A.M. to 4 P.M.) and be extra vigilant about sunscreen.

Put the old “base tan” myth to rest. Hear this: “There is no such thing as a safe tan,” says Dr. Aguh.

“Number one, any browning of the skin — even if you don’t burn — is a sign of sun damage. Two, a tan doesn’t afford you much protection.

It’s the equivalent of an SPF of 3 or 4, and that’s not going to cut it.”

OOPS! YOU GOT BURNED

Torched your skin? Use these tips to stay more comfortable while you heal. (And promise yourself you’ll do better next time.)

Numb the pain. Take a dose of ibuprofen, which will also help with swelling.

Soothe your skin. That burned outer layer can quickly get dry and itchy.

Pure aloe vera (in a gel or right from the plant) has cooling properties.

Or try a tepid oatmeal bath and a cold compress (for a max of 20 minutes at a time). Dr. Palm also likes green tea: “You can put a few bags into your bath or make a green tea 110 G H june 2016

compress,” she says.

Skip petroleum jelly, butter and other heavy emollients, which can trap heat so skin feels worse.

Resist the urge to pop.

Severe burns can cause blisters, which indicate a second-degree burn.

Head to the doctor if they cover more than 10% to 20% of your body (your entire back, say) or if you have a fever, too.

Treat small patches at home, but carefully: “An intact blister is still a sterile environment,” says Dr. Kassouf. Once it pops, the area becomes an open sore and is more likely to get infected. Wash it with mild soap and water, and keep it loosely covered with a clean bandage.

Down plenty of liquids.

But skip the margaritas, (alcohol can be dehydrating), and if you are nauseated or dizzy, see your doctor — it could indicate severe dehydration, heat exhaustion or sun poisoning.

Cook food until done, adjusting heat to keep temp at about 250°F.

With her online idea hub and creative marketplace, Darby Smart, Nicole Shariat Farb is democratizing the world of DIY. Here, she shares her success secrets (think hard work, luckÉ and a little glitter).

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE IDEA FOR DARBY SMART? When we’re kids, creativity is everywhereÑwe do art, we build, we play. But as adults, creativity is harder and harder to come byÑwe don’t have time and we don’t feel confident. I wanted to build a business that makes creativity easy for everyone, a place to find ideas and supplies, and support others by buying what they’re making.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T FEEL CREATIVE? Darby Smart makes creativity accessible. It used to be that you are either ÒartsyÓ or not, but with our platform everyone can participate. Watch a video, share an idea, complete a craft, or buy a finished product. You may just defy your own expectations!

WHAT’S THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS? The secret is that I don’t think I’m successful yet! I’m on a mission to positively impact the world. I’m inspired daily by bold thinkers and interesting challenges. I like going after things that seem impossible and showing that they aren’t.

ÔÔÔÔ

If you do what everyone else does, your path will look the same as everyone else’s. Ó

BUYING GUIDE • Don’t buy EVOO if it’s not in a dark glass bottle (light breaks down the antioxidants).

• Check the label for a harvest date — the closer to the present date, the better — or a use-by date that’s at least a year from your date of purchase.

• Note whether the country of origin, region and estate are listed — these guarantee the best EVOO. (“Product of” on the label simply means that the oil is bottled in that country, not necessarily that the olives are grown and pressed there.)

STORAGE SMARTS • Keep oil in a cool place away from heat and direct light.

• Once opened, EVOO should be used within a couple of months.

FOUND A LOST PET?

COME HOME!

Get him home to Mama with this smart advice

Nearly one in five pets are lost at some point in their lifetimes, according to an ASPCA survey.

Keep your furry family safe with these expert tips DO A HOME CHECK Animals have an instinct to explore, so if there’s a way to get out, they’ll try to find it, explains Aimee Gilbreath, executive director of Found Animals, a foundation that spreads awareness about lost pets. To reduce the possibility of a pet accidentally getting out, make sure doors and windows in your home are secured and that there are no broken fences, screens, locks or latches, says Emily Weiss, Ph.D., vice president of research and development at the ASPCA. SHOW SOME ID Only 33% of pet owners put identification tags on their animals, though the vast majority agree that it’s a good idea.

Include your city and state — you can skip a full address — and three cell phone numbers (yours and those of two nearby friends). It might be useful to add a phrase like Please help me get home or Reward if returned, Weiss says. For an indoor cat, try If I’m outside, I’m lost, which communicates that the cat might be in trouble. GH pick: Pawdentify Pet ID Tag ($22, pawdentify.com).

Don’t assume he’s a stray — even if he

COLLAR WITH CARE Every time you go out for a walk, check the straps on your dog’s collar, leash and harness to be sure they’re not frayed. Get your cat a simple buckle collar — one study determined they’re safer and more reliable than breakaway collars or ones made from elastic (madebycleo.com has tons of non-breakaway options). If you’re trying a new collar, watch your pet for three days — the same study found that cats tend to ditch their collars in the first 72 hours of wearing them.

CHIP YOUR PETS A microchip — a tiny copper antenna the size of a grain of rice that contains a nine- to 15-digit number — is the only permanent form of ID, says Gilbreath: “It’s not big enough to have a battery or GPS, but it acts like a Social Security number, which enables the owner to register the animal with up-to-date info that’s put on a database vets and shelters can access.” Puppies and kittens usually get a chip implanted (safely!) between their shoulders when they go in for vaccinations — but it isn’t automatic, so ask your vet to scan your pet if you’re not sure.

looks skinny or dirty.

Always approach calmly and cautiously; if there’s any sign of aggression, call Animal Control. Spot an ID tag? Call the owner.

Talk to your neighbors. Dogs

can move at about three miles per hour, and cats tend to find places to hole up, so chances are the pet came from nearby.

Call shelters. Leave a description of the animal you’ve found, but wait at least 24 hours before bringing him in. That will give the owner time to come to you.

Spread the word.

Create a flyer with photos and a brief description that you can post on social media (the ASPCA’s app has a feature that helps you build one), and hang physical copies around the neighborhood.

File a found-pet report. Contact your

local shelter and formally report the animal as found. The shelter can check for a microchip.

List yourself as an interested party, and you could end up with a new family member if the owner doesn’t step up.

Danielle Wagasky hunts for deals at the WinCo Foods bulk and discount supermarket.

Meet America’s most inspiring

FRUGALISTA This “cheapskate” mom’s brilliant budgeting skills have helped her blog followers across the country learn to live on (a lot) less — you can, too Beyoncé reportedly once spent $14,000 on a 90-minute shopping spree in London. The Wagasky family, however, used to live on that amount in a single year. For perspective, that’s almost $40,000 less than the average American household’s annual earnings — and $10,000 below the poverty threshold for a family of four.

And yet “we never wanted for anything,” Danielle, 32, insists of the time they stretched her 35-year-old husband Jason’s GI Bill housing allowance. “We always had enough to eat, clothes to wear, a warm home. We lived really well.” Want to know how they did it?

Join the throngs who visit Danielle’s blog, blissfulanddomestic .com, where she details her adventures in über-economical living.

It all started in 2008, when the Wagaskys realized that in order for them to live the life they wanted — one in which Danielle could be home with their two children (Keagan, now 11, and Elizabeth, 9) while Jason earned his bachelor’s degree — Danielle was going to have to bust out her calculator, scour thrift shops for necessities and get creative about cooking, cleaning and even air-conditioning.

“When it gets really hot,” Danielle says, “we run a swamp cooler,” a machine that chills and moistens the sweltering dry air in their 156 G H june 2016

Henderson, NV, home through water evaporation. “Air-conditioning can run you hundreds in the summer.” She scored a secondhand bread maker for $7 and a brand-name food processor for under $20.

The family ditched money-guzzling energy suckers such as the clothes dryer and carefully coordinated errands and road trips to conserve gas, buying only one tank per month. Danielle also saves in more conventional ways, such as visiting the local bulk grocer for the two 25-pound bags each of brown jasmine rice and dried beans for $20 a pop that last the family a whole year.

These days Jason is employed, so the family has more money to work with. “But we still live on the same principles,” Danielle says.

It helps that they bought a fixer-upper home for $28,000, so they have no mortgage (or mortgage interest). They invested in a used hybrid car, and Danielle whips up one-pot dinners on the cheap.

Most gratifying of all for Danielle, the kids have caught frugal fever: On a recent shopping trip, Elizabeth almost spent $2 of her $5 allowance on a toy mailbox for her doll, but then thought better of it. “She said she would rather save,” Danielle says proudly.
