At Home Skin Care Remedies

I have found some amazing and I mean amazing tips on Doing It Yourself Natural Beauty regimens. They are budget friendly, and you can get the supplies at your grocery store. I am in love with this e-book. Here are a few I tried, and they feel great! The best part of having these at home, budget friendly remedies, is that you can throw a pamper party with all of your girlfriends to try these. LOVE!! ***Please make sure to do a patch test for any allergic reactions that may occur before going crazy over these tips.***

Okay ladies, tomatoes is not just for meals. It can be used for your beautiful skin. Yes, you read that right, your skin. All you have to do is peel and finely chop up a tomato and spread that bad boy on your face. The benefits of using a tomato, is it is good for a gentle cleanser as well as it helps to tighten pores.

Here is another great tip. Soak gauze in green tea and apply to your face as you would toner. Lets give those beautiful faces a nice pampering session.

My favorite. If you love that one, you are going to love this one. Pull out your honey and a teaspoon of water. Add one tablespoon of honey to your water and heat in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Let it cool and apply to your lips for about 15 minutes. Then rinse. Scoot over Burt's Bees. Talk about smooth lips.

Lets dry out the un-welcomed flaws that comes and goes. Drop a teaspoon of honey in a dish and use a cotton swab and dab over the pimple to dry it out. Do this a few times a week, until gone.

Lets iron out those wrinkles. Take half of a papaya and a ½ tablespoon of honey. Apply in the areas you want to iron out and let it set for about a good 12 minutes. Then rinse, rinse, and rinse.

Getting the job you want

So are you struggling to land a job or even getting the job you want? This is what I found that works. First off, make a list of the companies you want to work. Next, call them up and ask the manager on duty to meet with you for an informational interview. Next, drive to the company a couple of days before to not only look for the company but to go inside and see how the employees are dressed. Look at the clothing, shoes, see if there hair is pulled back, are they wearing open or closed shoes, do they have a uniform they are wearing, if so, then look at the colors. Do they have tattoos or any piercing visible, things like that. Next, go home and pick out your clothing. If you need to go to the store and buy something to look like you are an employee who works for so and so company, then do it!

Here is an example of my experience. One summer I had taken an R.O.P class in Hotel and Hospitality Services, which I loved. The class was instructed to choose two companies to learn about. I chose, Marriott, and Holiday Inn. Next, we had to schedule an informational interview with the manager of the department we were interested in. So I choose front desk clerk at the Holiday Inn and Catering Department at the Marriott. I had to write ten questions I wanted to ask. Then I went to the location and I went inside and looked around to get a feel of the energy, and what the employees were wearing. I have noticed at the Marriott they had black suits on closed shoes, and their hair was pulled back. At the Holiday Inn, they had a green polo shirt that had Holiday Inn engraved on the left corner of the shirt and wore khaki pants, I think it was at the time. Some employees had their hair pulled back and some didn't. So when I got home, I got my outfits together, the Marriott I wore my hair pulled back and I wore a black pant suit. For the Holiday Inn, I wore a green polo shirt with khaki pant. I looked like one of them. Not only does that show you are interested in getting information about the company and their job but also says, hey I'm one of you. Its a great way to better your chances of getting a job/getting a job you want. Lastly, one day after the informational interview, send a Thank You Note.

Other uses for Hair Conditioner

For all the ladies out there. One day I ran out of shaving cream and it was kind of late to even go out to the store to buy some. So I was thinking on what I could use in replacement of the shaving cream. I have tried shampoo which works but not as good as conditioner. Yes, conditioner. I found that it not only makes the legs easy to see when shaving but it also acts as a moisturizer for the legs. Where I live now, the water isn't so great, it caused my skin to get very dry and was pealing after awhile. But now, my legs feel like a baby's butt. Amazing! Here is the conditioner I use.

Chicken, Beef, Vegetable Broth and Bouillon

Oh yes, I am famous for cooking with broth. I use broth and bouillon in many different ways. I first off came up with this great idea by using chicken broth or bouillon for cleaning up a jar of white sauce for noodles. I just don't like it when I make fettuccine and I pour the sauce in the pot and there is sauce stuck to the sides of the jar. I use to use water but where I live today, the tap water isn't so great. So so this is how I do it. I boil up 1 cup of water and drop in a bouillon cube until it boils and then I pour it in the sauce jar and shake it up. Then I pour it in the pot. It is so much yummier. If I use broth from a can, I will pour in about a cup inside the jar, no heating is required. Then I shake shake shake, and pour right in. I use the beef broth of the red sauces. I use the vegetable broth for boiling vegetables. Tastes so good. Sometimes I will drink a cup of the bouillon as a replacement of hot tea or hot coco. It soothes the tummy.

Using your space to the fullest

For small spaces, I recommending going up on the wall. So lets take your office for instants, you can have shelf's above your desk or even a cabinet to use up your space to the fullest. It creates lots of storage for your things as well as if well coordinated then it will look like part of the home décor.

Also, think about closet door space or even bathroom cabinet door spaces. There are so many things you can do with doors. Again, there are hooks, cork boards you can hang inside your cabinet doors, even your medicine cabinet door, kitchen doors, and so forth. You can paint chalkboard paint inside a cabinet door say in your kitchen, where you can have what you are going to eat tonight for dinner, or even notes to family. You can hang photos of your loved ones, a calendar. You can hang spices on the door, kids artwork, etc.. They have these magnetic board you can hang and use as well.

Time saving technique

Its hard enough to find clothes you want to wear for the day and even changing into a new outfit by night if your going out. So this is what I came up with. There are these door hangers you can hang on your door, or even hooks in that matter, and the night before, choose your outfit(s) for that day. Once you have chosen what you want to wear, hang that outfit(s) behind your bedroom or bathroom door. I like to take it a step further and hang all of my under garments on my hanger and my jewelry so everything is together. Then once I wear the clothes, I put the hanger in my closet, but in front so when I go and hang my clothes up again, it doesn't take me a lot of time to find my hanger. Simple techniques does help save time.

Recognition from Work

Here is a really nice idea to have evidence of you work performance with future employers you apply for and even getting hired on with a new company. While you are still with your employer now, collect any pieces of evidence you can get on paper of your performance with that company. So say, your company has a recognition board for others to put up a note on the board of your performance. Collect them before they get tossed out tape them on a piece of paper and file them away. What I have also done, was called up former employees I have worked with and asked them to send an email of what they thought of me as an employee. Some replied and some didn't. That's okay! You are starting the process of evidence of your hard work you have given while being employed. In addition to having the evidence, it also helps to know, where your strengths and weaknesses are so if you want to improve on some areas, you have the feedback of where improving is needed.
