For example, as today's first reader discov- ered, two common pantry items together make the equiv- alent of a pricey natural moistur- izing exfoliant. In fact, I will go so far as to say the quality of this homemade version exceeds that of the high-end commercial product. HOMEMADE FACIAL. I use this homemade concoction as a moisturizing facial scrub with great results: Pour approximately 1 tea- spoon of olive oil into the palm of your hand, and add about 1/2 tea- spoon of salt. Use your fingertips to gently rub it into the skin on your face. Leave it on for 1 minute. Rinse it off with warm water, and then wash your face as usual. -- Susan M., Iowa BAR BASICS. I've read all sorts of fancy ways to use up slivers of bar soap that accumulate when the soap is no longer usable, but the easiest way is this: When your bar is down to a sliver, get a new bar of soap. Wet them both, and put the sliver flat onto the new bar. Use them held together this way, and allow them to dry together. Eventu- ally, the sliver will be incorporated into the new bar. -- Cyndi A., e- mail CORNMEAL CRE- ATION. When I take a shower, I use cornmeal for a face scrub. I dab a bit of it on a washcloth and scrub lightly all over my face. Then I just rinse it off. I don't have to worry about getting any harsh chemicals in my eyes, and my face is so smooth and clean after- ward. -- Sue R., Florida LOTION FLOW. If you are having a hard time getting lotion out of a nearly empty bottle, put it in the microwave for a few seconds. Then the liquid will come out more easily. -- Granada, Nebraska HAIR STRAIGHTENER. I have a lot of hair appliances that I find difficult to store. After trying several options -- from dedicating a vanity drawer to them to piling them up on a closet shelf -- I found the perfect solution. My hair dryer has a hole in it so it can be hung on a hook. I just put a hook under the shelves in the bathroom closet for easy access. For the appliances that are not designed to hang from hooks, I tie the cords into loose knots near the appliances and drape them over the hooks. Now I don't spend time trying to untangle them. -- Mary Beth G., North Carolina LAST DROP. I was away on vacation, and my facial moisturizer was down to the last drop. It comes in the same type of tube that toothpaste comes in. Using scissors, I cut the tube open. I hardly could believe how much lotion was left! It lasted the entire time I was away. Now I do the same to all my other tubes, including my tubes of toothpaste. It's almost like a game to see how long I can make it last! -- Judith, e-mail Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Koontz, announced a Finding of No Signifi- cant Impact for the proposed Lassen Peak Trail Rehabilitation Project. The FONSI has been signed by Rory Westburg, the Acting Director for the Pacific West Region for the National Park Service. Superinten- dent Koontz said, "Lassen Volcanic National Park is pleased to have completed the planning portion for rehabilitation of the Lassen Peak trail. We are excited the signed FONSI will allow trail crews to begin work as soon as the snow melts on the park's Reach the Peak project." During the public review of the Environmental Assessment for this project, the park received 133 com- ments. Of those, 103 were electron- ically submitted to the NPS Project, Planning and Public Comment web s i t e , http://parkplanning.nps.gov/lavo, while the remaining 30 were letters or emails. The majority of the responders who stated preference on the alternatives liked the "pre- ferred" alternative. The "preferred" alternative was "selected" with slight modifications to reflect public input. The selected alternative will widen the lower half of the trail to about 6 feet and re-establish the original 4-foot width on the upper half. It includes an evaporator toilet at the flat area 0.6 miles below the crater rim, where pit toilets were previously located. A trail will be established to the true summit and an interpretive route will be designated within the Lassen Peak crater. A 5.5-mile con- nector trail will be established, link- ing the Manzanita Creek trail with the Lassen Peak parking lot. The Reach the Peak project is slated to be completed over the next five years. Summer trail accessibility and closure information will be available at www.nps.gov/lavo.
