                                                    Grilled Chicken and Pineapple Sandwich

Calories: 387
 
What You'll Need:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 to 6 oz each)
4 pineapple slices (1/2-inch thick)
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices, or 1 fresh jalapeno, thinly sliced
Teriyaki sauce
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 whole-wheat kaiser rolls
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced

How to make it:
1 Combine chicken and enough teriyaki sauce to cover it in a resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.

2 Heat a grill until hot (you shouldn't be able to hold your hand above the grates for more than 5 seconds). Remove chicken from marinade and place on the grill; discard any remaining marinade. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, flip, and immediately add cheese to each breast. Continue cooking until cheese is melted and chicken is lightly charred and firm to the touch. Remove from grill; set aside.

3 While chicken rests, add pineapple and rolls to the grill. Cook rolls until they're lightly toasted, and pineapple slices until they're soft and caramelized, about 2 minutes per side. Top each roll with chicken, pineapple, red onion, and jalapeno slices. If you like, drizzle chicken with a bit more teriyaki sauce.

Cool summer hairstyles

Most popular hair colors

We love smoukey eyes!!

 Choose your colors. Any color can be used to create a smoky eye, although you will need at least three shades of a similar hue. The classic smoky eye is created with black or gray, but bronze and brown are also commonly used.

• Green eyes look particularly good with a gray and plum smoky eye, while blue eyes pop with gold or copper and brown eyes go great with shades of navy and gray .
• You should choose three shades of each color: a light, creamy color, a medium base color, and a dark smoky color.
• Avoid choosing colors that are too bright, or if you have very fair skin too dark. You want your smoky eye to accentuate your pretty face, not to distract from it. 

 Use the right supplies. Although it may be quick and easy to choose the first three complementary shades of eyeshadow you find with a sponge applicator, the perfect smoky eye is created using the right supplies.

• Using loose powders gives you the best blending ability, which is necessary for creating a great smoky eye. You have the ability to use pressed powders and cream shadows as well, but for the best look find loose eyeshadow.
• Use pitch-black eyeliner to accentuate your smoky eye. You have the option of using a pencil, cream, or liquid eyeliner, and any will work just fine. Cream and liquid eyeliners give a very smooth finish, while a pencil eyeliner gives a softer blended look.
• Be sure to use good quality makeup brushes. Using dirty, old, or sponge brushes will create a smeared look that doesn’t blend. The best makeup brush for a smoky eye is a domed eyeshadow brush, which is rounded at the top. You can find these at many beauty supply stores.
• Be sure have a concealer and eyeshadow primer to prep your lids before applying the smoky eye. Use a concealer brush to apply both.
• Have a large fluffy brush, makeup remover and q-tips on hand to fix any mistakes or loose shadow on your cheeks.

Apply your face makeup. Before you put on your smoky eye, you should create your neutral palette. Apply concealer under your eyes and on any dark or red spots, and then apply a powder foundation over the top to set it.

• You have the option of applying blush or bronzer to add dimension to your face. For a bronzer, sweep it into the hollows of your cheeks with a large fluffy brush. To apply a blush, blend it into the apples of your cheeks. Remember to apply both lightly, for the most natural look.
• Make sure your eyebrows are well-shaped and colored, as the smoky eye will draw attention to them. Having brows that are too thin or light will make your smoky eye look too dark and unnatural.

4 Ways to Shower Smarter

Hot Water-NO
You now know that soap can be majorly drying to your skin, but super-hot water exacerbates the effect even more. So as good as it might feel to crank up the water temp, you're actually better off sticking with lukewarm H2O.

Use Shampoo on the Right Spots
Many people put the bulk of their shampoo on the general length of their hair, but it's actually a better idea to focus most of it on your scalp, roots, and the nape of your neck. Why? This is where dirt and oils usually collect. It's also a good idea to avoid using too much shampoo on your ends because they're prone to dryness and brittleness.

Skip The Soap
Shocking but true: Soap isn't necessary or helpful when you shower. Suds can actually strip skin of its essential oils, leaving it tight, dry, and itchy. The smarter move: Use a soap-free body wash like Sebamed Liquid Face and Body Wash ($20, sebamedusa.com). A body wash like this is water-based instead of oil-based to maintain the slightly acidic pH of 5.5—so it'll cleanse skin without drying it out.

Moisturize Immediately Afterward
As soon as you step out, pat the skin dry—as opposed to rubbing it with a towel, which can be irritating. Then apply a lotion to lock moisture into skin and protect the epidermal barrier.
