An invaluable guide on how to "lighten up" from a distinguished pro who has provided laughs for JAY LENO, BILLY CRYSTAL, STEVE MARTIN, ROBIN WILLIAMS, BRAD GARRETT, WHOOPI GOLDBERG, AND MANY MORE.
Who hasn't wished for the perfect withering comeback line, a clever tension-breaking quip, or a winning flirtatious remark? Being funny is hard work and not everyone is a natural. How to Be Funny is a witty guide that teaches readers precisely how to be funnier in everyday life. It's a must-read for anyone who has to speak in public, be engaging and funny at work or at play, or who hopes to one day go out on a date.
Jon Macks, a comedy writer for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Academy Awards, the Emmy Awards, Hollywood Squares, and the nation's top comedians, politicians, and corporate leaders, knows his funny business. Here he demystifies the process of making people laugh, breaks down the basic building blocks and types of humor -- which include self-deprecation, misdirection, deadpan delivery, sarcasm, and "the reverse" -- and reveals the best approaches to use in common situations.
How to Be Funny features helpful (and hilarious) tips and anecdotes from the comic legends Mack's worked with -- including Jay Leno, Arsenio Hall, Gilbert Gottfried, Billy Crystal, Rita Rudner, Dave Barry, and Carrie Fisher -- in his eleven years as one of the nation's top television writers.
Whether the goal is to give a memorable public address or deliver a killer line with friends, How to Be Funny is a charming, instructive, and practical read.

Best face sun protection
My Neutrogena one stung my eyes and made me constantly tear and this is soooo much better. It feels light and dries down well without feeling greasy. Also it didn't make my skin react. A++

Greasy but light
It's very lightweight and is definitely hydrating it's lightly greasy after its dry and it is not matte but has a dewy shine to it , I have tried many sunscreens and settled on this one as it just has a nicer feel to it and is easier to apply everyday, it goes on quickly and leaves no white streaks at all Its more watery than thick And does NOT peel whatsoever I Would definitely recommend this as a daily Face sunscreen if you not mind the shine it has to it. Its convenient Yet the bottle is small and last only about a 1 to 3 weeks depending how many times you use it To bad They DO NOT MAKE A BIGGER SIZE

Hydrating sunscreen
This is a great sunscreen for dry sensitive skin, even combination skin specifically if you’re using acne products that can dry out your skin. My dermatologist recommended this to me due to my rosacea and dry flaky skin. It helped me maintain my skin moisturize during the day, also adds a healthy glow to the skin. It has a liquid consistency which I love cause it makes it so much easier to blend and absorbs faster into the skin. I wouldn’t recommend so much for oily skin though, it can make you look greasy really quick!!
