Most people drink the vodka that they buy, but you can actually use it for different tasks. I would recommend buying the cheap $10 stuff though...no Grey Goose for these!

10.) Treating poison ivy: immediately pour vodka on skin that has come into contact with poison ivy, and the it will wash away urushiol oil, the stuff that makes you itch. Some have said that the vodka needs to be at least 100 proof to work.

9.) Freshen laundry: spritz your clothes with the stuff, then hang to dry in a well-ventilated area. Vodka kills odor-causing bacteria, but doesn't leave a scent when it dries.

8.) Clean fixtures: to get your chrome, glass and porcelain fixtures clean and shiny, moisten a soft, clean cloth with vodka, then scrub.

7.) Preserve fresh flowers: add a few drops of vodka and a teaspoon of sugar to the water in your flower vase. It should help keep your flowers fresh longer. Change out the mixture with fresh ingredients daily.

6.) Insect repellent: pour a little of the clear stuff in a spray bottle and squirt on the buggy annoyances, or yourself as a repellent.

5.) Disinfect and soothe jellyfish stings

4.) Shiny, healthy hair: add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo.

3.) Eliminate mold: fill a spray bottle with some vodka and spritz on, then let sit for 15 minutes. Scrub away with an old toothbrush.

2.) Soothing lavender tincture: fill a clean glass jar with fresh lavender flowers, then top off with vodka. Seal the lid tightly and place in the sun for three days.Strain the resulting liquid through a coffee filter, and you have a homemade tincture to rub into aches and pains.

1.) Toothache remedy: swish a shot of vodka over the affected area. It can help disinfect, and should numb some of the pain in your gums.

There will probably be more lists like this, but here's a couple of ideas for some trends to try in 2010...

10.) Foulards (those thingies they put on ties) and vintage pins
9.) Bug jewelry (ok I will NOT be trying this! I HATE bugs!)
8.) Vintage glasses
7.) Hair jewelry (I was already doing this before it was popular!)
6.) Plaid (my Scottish grandma would NEVER let me call it this; it's a TARTAN!)
5.) Coiffed hair
4.) Leather
3.) Ribbon embellishment
2.) Peaked padding on the shoulders a la' Lady Gaga (She can pull it off...me? Not so much)
1.) Denim (Hasn't that always been a classic and not a trend?? Whatevs...maybe they mean jeggings)

So after going to the spa last weekend (Christmas gift from the boyfriend), and facing surprise and awe by the staff because I had never been to a spa before (I'm in my mid-twenties...is that really so bad?) I decided to include the benefits of massage therapy that this spa lists in their pamphlet. FYI: massages are indeed awesome! I'm hooked! If only they weren't so expensive!

1.) Increases metabolism
2.) Helps speed healing
3.) Relaxes and refreshes
4.) Improves blood circulation
5.) Relieves fatigue
6.) Reduces tension and anxiety
7.) Calms the nervous system
8.) Renews energy

Yes, alcoholic ones! (Are there any other kinds?)

1.) Champagne-85 cal.
2.) Sour Apple Martini-160 cal.
3.) Vodka and diet lime-flavored soda like Sprite Zero-under 100 cal.
4.) Mudslide-184 cal.
5.) Gin and tonic-103 cal.

I know it's a little late, but if you still need some resolutions this year, Glamour's January issue had some good ideas. I know I'm trying out a few!

1.) Don't let a week go by without telling someone that you love them. Out loud. Pets count. So does your reflection in the mirror.

2.) Wave that freak flag high. One way to do it: On Facebook, go to Settings, then Account Settings, then Language. On the Primary Language menu, select "English (pirate)." Really, it's magnificent.

3.) You know those days when you no one's around and you download that song that always makes you dance, and then you kill five minutes completely rocking it in your house? Make lots of days one of those days.

4.) By a "good decision" piggy bank. Pay yourself a dollar every time you skip the third drink, go to bed early or make the difficult phone call. At the end of the year, by yourself a "good decision" present. You've earned it.

5.) If you can't find something decent to watch on TV, turn it off.

6.) Sarah Jessica Parker's resolution: Buy less. Are you really going to wear that pair of shoes? Are you really going to wear that bag?

7.) For every time he initiates it, initiate it twice.

8.) Find out the dates of every election in your district (check out smartvoter.org). Vote in all of them-and enjoy the feeling of getting involved.

9.) Always read the kid a book (and definitely pat the bunny).

10.) All together now: This year there will be no drunk-texting of exes. Also no drunk-tweeting or status-updating; at least no until they invent the great Internet erase machine.

11.) On a piece of paper, write down 5 reasons you would want to marry yourself. Doesn't that feel nice?

Obviously, they're some of the most expensive cities too! For all you who can't afford to go to any of these places in the near future (like me); this list at least gives you ides for what types of coffee table books to buy.

10.) Barcelona
9.) San Francisco
8.) Madrid
7.) Tokyo
6.) Los Angeles
5.) Rome
4.) London
3.) New Work City
2.) Milan
1.) Paris

You'll no longer have to untag yourself from Facebook pics if you follow these pointers:

10.) Fake a tummy tuck: Twist your torso, turning one shoulder toward the camera and the other away from it

9.) Pucker up: A berry lip color with a hint of sheen flatters everyone. Avoid nudes, which can make you look like a corpse once the flash hits. Avoid bright colors as well, which often come across as harsh.

8.) Don't drink and pose: Try to take pictures early, like before the third drink. You're more in control and your eyes won't look droopy.

7.) Go natural: don't put on lots of hair product

6.) Let the camera do the work: use a good, quality camera

5.) Stick your neck out: Push your face forward ever so slightly. It feels absolutely ridiculous when you're doing it, but it makes your face look thinner and hides any sign of a double chin.

4.) Seek out the sunset: flattering lighting

3.) Don't sweat it: minimize shine on your face with a matte makeup

2.) Say "money:" The strong e sound makes the corners of your mouth go up and the crinkles around your eyes make it look like a genuine smile.

1.) Trademark your look: Is your right side more flattering? Does a subtle smile look sexier? Pull out all of your favorite pictures of yourself and see what you like. You'll probably find a look that's consistent. Once you know how you like yourself to look, it's much easier to replicate.
