By Juanita Bellavance Losing weight is not that hard to do. Youve probably conquered weight loss more than once in your life, havent you? You know what it takes and you know what to do. What holds us back when we need to lose weight yet again? There are 10 essential components to get you back to losing weight again when you seem to keep procrastinating about it. Get control over your life. Do you feel tugged and pulled in all directions by people around you? Set boundaries and take care of yourself. Most of the people around you can take care of themselves if you begin to stop doing it for them. This alone can give you the grounded feeling that will begin moving you forward. Get rid of all the food in the house that isnt good for you or anyone else, but is just something you like to eat. Do you notice when you are upset about anything there is a certain food you begin stuffing in your mouth almost without thought? For some that food is something crunchy like popcorn or potato chips. List all the foods you like that have zero calories such as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans. Youll be relieved to know you are safe to eat all you want when these are on the menu. Begin to pay attention to how many calories are in each food you eat. Dont allow yourself to have more than 250 calories for a meal and 100 calories for a snack. Eat when you are hungry. When you do eat, focus on how delicious the food is. Enjoy the taste, the feel and the smell of the food and make it last. You will find you are more satisfied when you do this. Move your body. Do you find you are often sitting down at your desk or sitting in front of the television? When you take a break from your work, go outside and enjoy the beauty of the day. If its raining or snowing, enjoy the beauty of the rain or snow as it falls and the sound of it. When in front of the television, turn off the sound. Its the sound that holds you there indefinitely. When you leave the room for any reason, turn off the volume. This can keep you from going back in there and sitting down. Join a group. Think of a hobby you enjoy and find an interest group about this hobby. When you join the group, it will revive your enthusiasm and remind you of how it feels to feel great. You will find yourself getting out more and walking around more as a result. Join an athletic group. A community group of cyclists will often have groups of beginners, intermediate and advanced people. You could start a walking club of your own. This would cause you to be accountable to walking for the sake of the group if you are having trouble doing it for your own sake. Often when we are making a difference for others, we are more committed to our intentions. Imagine an event where you want to be your best. Is your son or daughter getting married in a few months? Start now defining how many calories per month you must lose to look your best on the wedding date. Think about what it will be like when your grandchildren want to go to Disney World with you and you are too tired to participate and see the glee on their faces because you are too tired to last the day as a result of your physical condition. When you apply these ten strategies to weight loss, your success is assured. Get in action today and get it done. You will be elated as you begin to see the results beginning with the first pound lost!

By John Morris A make-up or cosmetic bag is essential for every woman who wants to look presentable all the time. If you shop at department stores or even online, theres a wide range of cosmetic bags available. The problem is you cant seem to pick one! Thats what this guide is all about - to give you tips and tricks on how to pick that make-up kit that is suited to your lifestyle. There are factors you should consider before jumping to buy a cosmetic bag. Your personal style, durability and of course, functionality all come into play. Read on to know more. DO 1. Keep with your own style Get a cosmetic bag similar in design to the purses or bags you currently use. A cosmetic bag is a woman’s ultimate accessory and needs to fit with your entire wardrobe, or a good majority of it, not just what you are wearing at the time when picking out your cosmetic bag at the store. 2. Size matters If you already have a purse, get a cosmetic bag that is small, portable and can practically fit anywhere. Professional make-up artists and extremely fashion-minded women may need to pick size over style. The Allison Barrett Cosmetic Bag and Bloom Cosmetic Bag are brands that have enough room for most of your cosmetic items. 3. Get functional with special compartments If the cosmetic bag you choose is equipped with compartments, it will be easier for you to store brushes, concealers and other tidbits orderly and shipshape. Inspect the bag for special compartments - these are usually tough and will keep your things from getting damaged. 4. Make a statement Cosmetic bags let you travel in style since you can choose an array of designs, sizes and colors. Nylon bags are more popular because it is custom-made with three different appealing designs. You dont want to be seen with a dingy old purse, would you? DON’T 1. Overpay! You can buy a small cosmetic bag from $5.00 to $10.00 or designer bags that may cost up to a searing $100.00 or more. Some bags come free if you buy a whole set of make-up. 2. Choose style over durability. Cosmetic bags need to be strong and sturdy especially when traveling. Durable types of bags include Europe/U.S. size Conversation and the Wisteria Cosmetic Bag, which is known for its water-resistant lining and vintage feel. 3. Underestimate black If you dont have the time to take care of your bag, pick one that is easy to clean to make its shelf life last longer. 4. Put everything in your bag Choose what things are essential to you. You dont have to bring a hundred pounds of make-up when going to a party, to work, a girlfriends pajama party, or even traveling. Bring the basics - like a tube of lipstick, mirror, blush, a brush, foundation or powder, eye shadow, eye liner and mascara. Here’s a list of essentials every woman should have in their cosmetic bag. - A tube of lipstick It can serve as a blush on too that can make you look fabulous in seconds. If you still have space, throw in a lip gloss for that extra shine. - A mirror, preferably flat and compact for your cosmetic bag Double sided mirrors are available for $3.00 to $5.00. Its hard to apply make-up without seeing your face right? - A set of brushes These are always important for touch-ups. You can buy a complete kit filled with miniaturized brushes that costs anywhere from $5.00 to $10.00. Of course, it is mandatory that you bring eyeshadow palette that you use regularly - buy one with all the colors that you trust. Dont buy one that you havent even tested on your skin. Mascara and eyeliners are also indispensable for those occasional touch-ups. - Blush Bringing this along might be quite tricky because most of them come in big sizes. Choose one that is light, flat and compact. This is a basic element for that natural-looking healthy glow. Remember, your make-up kit is a miniature version of your make-up case. If your bottle of foundation is too big, transfer some to a smaller bottle that seals tightly. Choose compact style mirrors and flat brushes to save space. You can also bring a traveling toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant and facial tissues.

By Bill Hanover Sometimes a promotion might actually wind-up being the worst thing that could happen to you! Really, its true. A good friend of mine won a promotion he had been planning and hoping for over a long period of time. He was ecstatic. The first year on the new job he lost more than $20k of income moving from an hourly wage to salary. He worked even more overtime, was stressed-out, (which carried over to his family life,) and resulted in a whole host of other troubles. It didnt take him long to decide that the promotion brought with it a new title and a lot of headaches he had never anticipated. You really need to ask yourself if the promotion you seek will somehow improve the quality of your life and those you care about enough to justify accepting it. There needs to be some harmony between your work life, and your home or private life, and what you expect or desire from each. If a promotion costs you too much of what you care about most, run from it, or re-create and redefine it in a way that works for you. Critical Questions To Ask Before Seeking Or Accepting A Promotion Are: What do I value most and will the promotion give me more of that? Will I be happier? Will my relationships suffer or be improved (family, co-workers, and/or friends, etc.?) Will I be more secure in my job? Will I earn more or less money? (Dont forget to consider the differences between hourly wages and base salary pay.) Will I have to work much more than I want to? Will I retain at least the same level of benefits I currently enjoy? Will there be opportunities to advance further? Is this position temporary or enduring? Is this position respected and needed long-term? Who will replace me, and are they competent? Whom will I be replacing, where are they going, and why? Will this promotion actually help me and the company in the long-run? Am I exceeding my level of competence by taking this job? If so, what will I need to do to become competent to fulfill this new role? What is the political climate like surrounding this new position? Who will be my new boss and what is he or she like? Is there a merger looming, or likely, and how will this effect me? Will I have to re-locate, and am I open to that? Who will I now be supervising or accountable for, and what are they like? What is the history of this position? If this position is constantly being re-filled, why? Will the level of accountability I have match the rewards I receive? Who will decide whether or not I get the job, and how is my relationship with them? Can I leave the job without being demoted or punished in some way if it turns out to not be a good fit? What will be left undone when I leave my current position, who will complete it, and how involved will I need to be in that process? Maybe that seems like a long list of questions but I hope you know the answers to each of them before you push hard for a promotion. You really do need to know if the new job is better than what you have now. Finding the answers to some of theses questions can be a bit of a tricky process, but as long as you proceed cautiously, it will be well worth your time. Whether you like Dick Cheney or George Bush, or agree with them politically, you have to sort of admire the way Dick Cheney has said a resounding No to seeking the office of President of the United States. Instead of toying with the idea of becoming President, Vice President Cheney has repeatedly said I serve at the pleasure of the President and I do not desire, nor will I accept, your nomination for President. Could he have been any clearer on the subject? It seems fair to say that VP Cheney has answered the questions above in his own way. Perhaps, like many of us, he is glad someone else is doing that job. Being President of the United States isnt for most of us. Half the people you govern dont agree with you most of the time, and the other half only agrees with you some of the time. High-level positions in most companies work much the same way. You have to grow a pretty thick skin to thrive and be effective in such environments. Very recently, two friends of mine working at different companies in two different states both decided they were tired of their jobs and quit. Both men were very impressive and highly regarded in their respective occupations. After years of holding the highest and second highest positions in their companies, both of them declared, in effect, Ive had enough of this and left long-standing careers. What would drive people to this end? Ill summarize their answers to give you a sense of why people burn-out and feel as though they must move on even when they have been promoted to the highest levels. The Following Elements Contributed To The Eventual Burn-Out Of Both Men: They were working at least 60 and usually 80+ hours per week. They both felt like if they worked any less they would fail to meet the responsibilities of their positions. Sadly, even with the extra hours worked, they never felt like they were even close to being caught-up. They were good delegators, but simply had more work than they could possibly do. Their key staff members were also overwhelmed, so they could not off-load any more work onto them. There simply was no relief for them. They received extreme pressure from corporate execs to make their companies more and more profitable in order to please shareholders. In truth, there is only so much that can be done, and only so many hours in a day in which to do those things. Unfortunately, many corporate executives do not agree with this analysis. They carried the weight of the world on their shoulders, and found it hard to think of anything but their jobs. Even when they were home (on occasion,) with their families they found it almost impossible to think of anything other than their duties at work. They had unreasonable expectations for themselves and equally unreasonable expectations placed on them by corporate leadership. They were, in fact, destined to fall short even with all of their talents and passion for the business, and after all they could do. Both gentlemen in this example are very good men who have incredible work ethics and solid characters. They both deserve medals for helping their companies evolve and keep thousands of workers employed. They both did the jobs they were hired to do with passion and integrity. The purpose, again, behind telling you about these good men is that corporations are increasingly expecting people to give-over their entire lives for the benefit of the company. In search of the almighty dollar, many corporate execs are very uninterested in the fact that people are being pushed far beyond reasonable expectations. Every corporate exec and perhaps every shareholder knows that even high-level managers are completely replaceable. It is almost as though it has become understood that leaders and managers on every level are like race cars. You run them hard for awhile, replace only the parts, fuels, and lubricants that you absolutely must, and when they have lost their zip you get a new one. If you are interested in high-level positions with great responsibility you should know this use em and lose em practice seems to have become the norm. In my travels I havent seen any signs of this changing in the near future. If all you learn from this entire manual is that you dont want a promotion after all, then your money and time have been wisely spent. Far too many people set their sights on the goal of being promoted before they investigate what that really means. It is generally harder to go back to the job you had before you were promoted once youre in your new position. Consider all the many ramifications of your decision before putting a lot of effort into being promoted. Some promotions even come with implied and, (more or less mandatory) future promotions. If you know this is the case, you need to really consider how desirable the second or third position in sequence would be, as you might be obligated to accept it. If it is completely undesirable, you may want to reconsider the path you have chosen. Its very common for assistant managers to become managers and managers to become senior management or even presidents. If you can see the direct route to a place or position you dont want to occupy, a course-correction may be warranted. Youll either need to set things up in a way that wont take you to the undesirable position, or choose a different career path. There truly may be no going back. This scenario is quite common: you, as assistant manager, are the natural choice to replace the next higher level boss. The management team is probably grooming you for this position, and will be disappointed if you wont accept it when offered. In addition, you will be the best qualified person for the job. Unless you can accept the terms of a promotion fully, you might be better off declining it cold. In the end, getting a promotion that gives you more money and a great title, but makes you miserable isnt worth it. Summary Points: Some promotions cost you so much of what you value that they are actually DEMOTIONS. You should always ask the 24 Critical Questions from chapter 1 before accepting a promotion. Hi-level positions are extremely demanding and require thick skin emotionally and politically to endure, let alone thrive in. Professional burn-out is a risk associated with advanced positions of responsibility. Many corporations treat senior managers as expendable commodities and replace them frequently. Everyone is completely replaceable in every company regardless of rank. Just learning why you dont want a promotion is a worthy undertaking. Many positions practically require their occupants to accept higher positions. If a promotion eventually leads to a position you dont want, you may need to choose a different career path as there may be no going back. Getting a promotion that gives you more money and a great title, but makes you miserable isnt worth it. I hope this chapter helped you consider what a promotion might really mean to you. It is always good to go in with your eyes wide open. All the Best, Bill Bill Hanover is author of “No Sucking-Up!

By Tim Arnold There is no such thing as having too much education. In fact, more and more professionals are realizing that further education can actually help them in their careers. There are certain positions in companies that in which eligible job candidates are required to have either a Masters of Doctorate level education or even a second degree in another specialization that is more in tune to the responsibilities that the position entails. But the inherent difficulty of pursuing any type of additional education among professionals is time. There is just not enough of it to go around. In between the demands of the workplace, there are also responsibilities and expectations that need to be fulfilled at home (as a father or as a husband). This makes it so much harder for working professionals to squeeze in going to school into their already tight daily schedules. Fortunately, new avenues have been opened with regards to the pursuit of higher knowledge among busy individuals. The rise of online college education has been able to meet the specific and highly specialized needs of working professionals. With an online education gaining knowledge has been freed from the confines of a school building and has now entered the domain of the individual in whatever place or time that is convenient to him. This liberation of education has truly revolutionized the way we as individuals and professionals can attain additional knowledge and skills. Because of the very nature of online education, it effectively offers two enticing benefits to professionals cost and flexibility. Since a large number of working professionals have families or are planning to have a family, the cost advantage of online education makes it a very attractive proposition to them. Although the tuition that needs to be paid may be the same amount that is paid with regular schools, you get to save on other education-related costs. Some of these costs could be the commuting expenses to and from the school, school-related materials and supplies, miscellaneous expenses that are usually incurred when in a school but is eliminated because of the virtual nature of online education. There are also some intangible costs, like the stress an individual feels when he has to rush from the office to the school and from the school to the home. Online education effectively eliminates this cost. Yes, there may be other incurred costs related to getting an online education most notably the internet connection fees but since most homes already have a ready connection anyway, this cost becomes insignificant. Another important benefit of online education is flexibility. This could probably be the most important benefit of getting an online education. For people who have to juggle time between work and home, the relative flexibility in time with regards to online classes is a great enticement to enroll and further their personal development. An individual who wants to pursue higher or specialized education using online channels will never have to worry about commuting to a school (except for certain programs that require minimal visits to the campus). He can just rush home from work and learn from the comfort of his own home. This flexibility benefit has not gone unnoticed by the employers themselves. In fact, more and more business owners are realizing that online education is a great tool for them further improve the skills of their workers without sacrificing productivity or incurring too much in terms of the cost of education. Whats more, employers are finally realizing that investing in education for their employees returns in the form of a more trained workforce that can more effectively do their assigned tasks and roles in the company and this alone makes this investment all worth it.

By Rudy Silva Organic fresh made juices have cleansing and laxative action, which will help you eliminate constipation. Taken regularly they will help you have daily bowel movements. Organic juices contain loads of mineral, bioflavonoids, vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Citric fruits have citric acid and the more tart they are the more acid they have. Fresh juice is a fast way to get all types of nutrients into the blood quickly. As juice nutrients get into your blood, they suck out toxics and build up tissues. In your colon they destroy bad bacteria, feed wall tissue, pull out toxins, and have laxative action. Even though juices provide helpful action throughout the body, it is best to limit their use and drink them in larger quantities only when trying to accomplish certain health benefits. If you use natural foods with laxative effects, their laxative effect diminishes after long-term use. If you have diabetes or adrenal fatigue, limit your use of fruits and juices when you first wake up in the morning. However, exercise in the morning will help you tolerate drinking some juices in the morning When juicing fruits and vegetables, the more fiber that is left with the juice the better results you will get with your constipation. It is always best to use fresh juices, but as a last resort using packaged juices will be better than not drinking anything. Apples and Apple Juice Apples are good for eliminating constipation because they are high in pectin, a soluble fiber, have many minerals, and contain sorbitol - a natural sugar, which stimulates peristaltic action. Pectin helps to detoxify the intestines and promote regular bowel movements. The fiber in apples adds weight and bulk to your fecal matter and helps draw water from your colon into the fecal matter keeping the stool from becoming hard and thus preventing constipation. Apples are one of best fruits to eat because they are high in minerals, which provide alkaline electrolytes to your body. What electrolytes do is neutralize acids that are created during illness, anxiety, anger, exercising, breathing pollution, and improper eating. Body acid is a major reason we get deadly diseases as we age Make eating apples or drinking fresh apple juice a daily habit. They are also effective in liver and gallbladder problems. Heres what to do. Use crisp and hard apples such as granny smith, Fuji, or gala apples for juicing. Drink three glass of apple juice during the day - morning, noon, and evening. In combination with drinking fresh apple juice, eat 3-4 apples each day to get fiber. The combination of eating and drinking apples juice will activate your colon to start moving stagnant matter. One-day apple and apple juice fast You can also do a one-day or two-day apple and apple juice fast by, eating 3-4 apples during the day. Drink apples juice every two hours. Dont eat anything until the next morning. Then, start changing your eating habits as listed in some of my other articles. Rudy Silva has a degree in Physics and is a Natural Nutritionist.

By William Berg The Tulip Tree has got its name from its tulip shaped flowers. The flowers of a Tulip Tree are located at great heights and typically reach a size of 2.5 inches. The Tulip Tree produces monoecious flowers with yellow-green petals. The corolla has a beautiful vivid orange shade. Some people find the leaves of the Tulip Tree similar to tulips too, at least with a little imagination. The leaves are four lobed and have a notch at the tip. A Tulip Tree leaf will typically reach a length of 4-6 inches in diameter. The leaf colour is bright green and will turn yellow in autumn. The Tulip Tree is sometimes called The King of the Magnolias. It is called Liriodendron tulipifera in Latin, and it belongs to the Family Magnoliaceae. The Tulip Tree is related to the Chinese Tulip Tree (Liriodendron Chinese). The Tulip Tree is utilized as timber and is very appreciated among carpenters since the wood is easy to work with. Tulip Tree wood has a pale yellow color and is particularly popular in furniture, wood carvings, cabinetry, veneer, jewelry boxes and musical instruments. Earlier, the Tulip Tree was frequently used in canoes created by Native Americans. The Tulip Tree bark has been used as a substitute for cinchona in traditional remedies. The popular Tulip Tree is known by many names in English, including Canoewood, Saddletree, Tulipwood, Whitewood, Canary Whitewood and American Whitewood. The Tulip Tree is not a poplar, but it is still commonly referred to as Tulip poplar, Hickory poplar, White poplar and Yellow poplar. Apart from being an appreciated timber tree, the Tulip tree is also planted as a shade tree and ornamental tree. It is a remarkably fast growing tree and can grow 50 feet tall in eleven years. During spring and early summer it will blossom with beautiful flowers. The twigs of a Tulip Tree will turn red and become shiny during the winter, which will add colour to the garden. The fruits of the Tulip Tree are also very beautiful. Immature fruits are green and will gradually turn brown as they mature. In fall, they will be ripe and have the shape of small cones. Tulip Tree fruits are popular among squirrels, rodents, rabbits, birds and other wild animals. Bees and butterflies will instead eat the nectar from the flowers, and the deer will happily browse the new twigs. The Tulip Tree is though, adaptable and will withstand most tree diseases and pests. Plant your Tulip Tree in moist and nutritious soil, ideally close to water. Tulip Trees are very found of moist soil and will often grow near marshlands, streams and rivers. Acid soil should be avoided. The Tulip Tree requires direct sunlight, but this is usually not a problem since the Tulip Tree grows fast and becomes very tall. The oldest known Tulip Trees are older than 15 years. In North America, Tulip Trees are found from the Great Lakes to Florida in the south. Forest growing Tulip Trees will typically reach a height of 100 feet and form a tall limb-free bole. If a Tulip Tree is planted in a more open area, it will instead grow a pyramid shaped crown that eventually turns oval with age.
