While it's true that you can use whatever cheese you happen to have in your refrigerator, choosing a specific cheese or two will give your frittata a distinctive flavor. These cheeses are known for the following characteristics:  Feta: use this cheese if you want a sharp, salty flavor. Ricotta: use just a little of this cheese for a really creamy taste. Goat cheese: pick this cheese for a tart and rich flavor. Cheddar: choose this cheese for its great melting quality and traditional taste. Smoked Gouda or mozzarella: a smoked cheese can make your frittata taste richer. It's easier and faster to use leftover vegetables that have already been cooked. Roasted vegetables have an extra dimension of caramelized sweetness that works really well in a frittata. Of course, if you want to cook your vegetables in the frittata, ensure that they're totally cooked before you add the egg base to your pan. Good vegetables for frittatas include:  Diced potatoes Roasted or grilled asparagus Diced onion Broccoli Bell pepper (can be roasted) Sliced mushrooms Sliced leeks Fresh herbs: like parsley, oregano, basil Although you can cook raw vegetables in the frittata pan, you should really use already cooked meats when making the frittata. Frittatas don't need much meat, so you can use a combination of whatever meats you have left in your refrigerator. Try using:  Shredded chicken, beef or pork Diced ham or sausage Crumbled bacon Tofu Many classic Italian frittatas use a variety of cheeses. You can even use a high-quality ricotta for a light and creamy frittata. Italian frittatas also use rich meats. Try one of these cured meats:  Salami Soppressata Mortadella Prosciutto If you're planning on serving the frittata as the main dish, you can make it even more filling by adding leftover pasta. Use cooked pasta that isn't covered in sauce or the frittata may not set up properly. You'll want to add about one cup of pasta along with your other ingredients. Rice is another good starch option to add some substance to your frittata. Add 1 cup of cooked rice along with your other ingredients.

summary: Choose a different cheese. Select some vegetables. Add meats or protein. Consider making a classic Italian frittata. Use leftover pasta.

While the celebrities might look great in their latest get-up, it’s not necessarily a look that will work for you. Remember the low-rise jean fad? If you had a body reminiscent of Christina Aguilera in the early 2000s, the trend may have worked for you. For most everyone though, it was rather unflattering. Give the fashion mags and blogs a break, and resist the urge to buy the latest trendy item if you don’t see yourself actually wearing it more than a couple times. Setting a limit to prohibit the purchase of too many non-basic items can help you avoid becoming a fashion victim. This will help you avoid being a fashion victim with the added benefit of saving you money. For example, you could set a maximum of $40 per month for the purchase of trendy items. You never want to copy someone’s look from head to toe without adding any of your own personal touches. Instead, let the trend inspire you to think of ways to incorporate it into your existing look. If camo print is trending, you wouldn’t want to dress head to toe in it. Instead, try incorporating a camo jacket with your favorite pair of black skinny jeans and neutral tank top. This is an easy way to take a piece of the latest trend and apply it to your individual style. Stick with trends that you feel good wearing and can be comfortable in.  We look best in clothing we feel confident in, so it is always important to make sure you feel comfortable in your clothing. Remember to dress how you want to feel. Some trends can actually cause damage to your body. Skinny jeans that are too tight can cut off circulation, and high heels worn too long, too often, or in inappropriate settings can cause damage to your feet. Only wear what is right for you, as any of these mistakes can quickly turn you into a fashion victim. Come spring, choker necklaces could be a trend long forgotten. If you want to be nice to your wallet and never fall victim to outdated fashion, focus on trends that you know never really go out of style.  For example, almost everyone looks good pairing blue jeans with a white top, and every woman can benefit from a properly fitting black dress for special occasions. These are two outfits you can count on to always be in style. You should also invest in a good neutral blazer in black, beige, gray, or brown. This piece pairs well with jeans or khakis, and adds a touch of professionalism and class to any outfit. A pair of comfortable black or nude pumps can be worn with just about anything and look amazing paired with jeans or flouncy skirts. Stylish bags, jewelry, and scarves are always an easy way to complete a timeless yet still trendy look (as well as to stick to your trend budget!).

summary: Resist blindly following trends. Set a trend spending limit. Let trends be an inspiration, not a fashion dictation. Follow trends that are comfortable for you. Invest in timeless classics.

For the bun, you’ll need a rectangular scarf. Carefully create  a thin band from it by folding it in on itself lengthwise several times. The finished band should be 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8-cm). Once the scarf is folded into a band, place it around the base of your ponytail. Tie it into a knot over the hair elastic so an equal amount of the scarf is on either side of ponytail. Ideally, you should use a scarf that is roughly the same length as your hair when it’s tied around the ponytail.
summary: Fold a scarf into a thin band. Wrap the scarf around the base of your ponytail.
