LITTLE-KNOWN FOOD FACT RELAX YOUR NERVES
The end of the semester is fast approaching. If finals get you amped up, try some tea to help calm your nerves. Most herbal teas don't have caffeine and are mixed to help calm you down, depending on their ingredients, says Fanny Shiau, store manager at House of Chá, 21 W. Ninth St. Balance your mind, body and soul with a cup of chamomile or lavender. Shiau recommends House of Chá's Serene Lavender or Chá for Harmony blends. You can also pick up traditional medicinal teas for just about any alliment from PMS to a stuffy nose at grocery, drug or heath food stores.

DID YOU KNOW.. ORAL EXAMS
Giving oral pleasure just isn't as nice as receiving. But natural sugars found in juices and fruits like mangoes, papayas, pineapples and strawberries can help improve your girl or guy juices, says Chantal Young, instructor of Psychology of Human Sexuality. Other tangy flavors — including cinnamon, lemon and peppermint — can help the squirt taste better. Use your head the next time you're gonna get some and sweeten yourself up a little before your partner heads south.
