For Day 6 in our social media success challenge for dance studios, I’d like to emphasize the importance of using all different types of media to promote your dance studio. With millions of dance studios,
dance companies, and dance-related businesses out there, you may wonder,

“How can I stand out amongst my competitors?”

The answer to that question is: Video

Videos allow you to show the world who you are, what you (and your business) are all about, and gives people an opportunity to get to know you on a more personal level. Even in today’s time of social media, e-mail, texting, etc., people still appreciate being able to see the face of the person who’s articles they’re reading, who they’re
conversing with through Facebook, Twitter, etc., and connect with them in a tangible way. This also helps to personalize your dance studio or brand in a way that will attract people to you and your business.

Check out a video that I did where I talk about my career as a professional dancer/dance instructor in New York City. It has some clips of my choreography at a recent performance, as well as testimonials
from some of my students about my dance classes.

Feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you think about the video, and also how it
feels to put a face with the author of this article.

A weekend of fun:

Carnival Rides, Marching Bands, Ethnic Garb, Pony RIdes, Skydivers, Vendors, Live Entertainment and more!

The orchestra of the drums was reaching a crescendo and a thunderous roar was heardthroughout the universe.

Wouldn’t it be great to turn your fun trips into tax cuts? If you plan to take any trips this summer, here are some ideas that will help you get the most out of your travel budget.

1. Make all your business appointments before you leave for your trip.

Most people believe that they can go on vacation and simply hand out their business cards in order to make the trip deductible. Wrong.

You must have at least one business appointment before you leave in order to establish the "prior set business purpose" required by the IRS.

The first thing that you need to do is set up appointments in the various cities that you will visit before you leave. One way to establish this is to post an ad for distributors in the town’s newspaper. You could then interview those who respond when you get to the business destination.

2. Make It All "Business Travel."

In order to deduct all on-the-road business expenses, you must be traveling on business. By definition, you are on business travel whenever you are sleeping overnight in a strange bed - conducting business, that is!

3. Make sure that you deduct all of your on-the-road -expenses for each day you're away.

For every day you are on business travel, you can deduct 100% of lodging, tips, shoe-shines, laundry and dry cleaning, car rentals, and 50% of your food. According to the IRS, no receipts are required for any travel expense under $75 per expense. The only exception would be for lodging.

4. Sandwich weekends between business days.

Interestingly, the IRS notes that if you have a business day on Friday and another one on Monday, you can deduct all on-the-road expenses during the weekend.

5.Make the majority of your trip days business days.

The IRS says that you can deduct transportation expenses if business was the primary purpose of the trip. The majority of the days in the trip must be for business activities. Otherwise, you cannot make any transportation deductions. This is an all-or-nothing proposition.

With proper planning, you can deduct most of your vacations if you combine them with business. That can make your life a lot less taxing!

Are you tired of feeling blocked by your own fear? You may know what you really want to do, and how to live, but are afraid you can’t do it. That it is too much for you. That others might laugh, or dissuade you. Or you might fail. Does this sound familiar?

Well, I know how you feel, and have been right where you are. We women often have a hard time dealing with our fear. Certain things are expected of us in life, and we feel pressure to confirm, to take the safe path, to chose wisely.

But what if God has something in mind for you? What if you could relax, follow your dream, and achieve what you long for? What if you could just brazen right through that fear?

I have found the solution to eliminating those fears that stop us- to helping you achieve everything you want in your career, in your life, in your relationships.

Contact me now and let me show you how you can achieve your dreams!

“Success is more than a journey, it is a frame of mind.” – Erica M. Johnson

I hear people say all of the time that they want to be successful, but what does that actually mean? The world seems to have its own definition of success, which may mean having a lot of money and being well known. But do you really have to be rich or well known to be successful?

The answer to that question is for you to decide. But I would like to challenge your thinking and open your eyes.

So, what does it mean to be successful? According to dictionary.com:

Success

–noun

1. the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors.

2. the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.

3. a successful performance or achievement.

4. a person or thing that is successful.

5. Obsolete. outcome.

So now that we have defined success, the big question is: “How do you get it?”

Success begins and ends with you. Right now at this very moment you are successful. Regardless of your situation or how much money you have in your bank account, you are successful. People often feel that they need to wait until some imagined perfect moment, or until they reach a certain amount in their bank account, or a certain status in their career to say that they are successful. You are successful NOW!

Success is a frame of mind. You know the old saying, “You are what you eat.” Well, you are what you think! It is a known fact that your thoughts control your actions. When you think of success think of yourself.

Define your own success. Every time I coach a client they say that they want to be successful. In my experience no one person’s definition of success is the same as another’s. Success to one person may be earning $80,000 a year, being able to take two vacations a year, and spending time with family and friends. On the other hand, another person may say that success is becoming a millionaire and being able to experience all the finer things in life. And they could care less about spending time with family and friends!

Women Will Be Critical Workers and Innovators of the Future

Women across the nation are preparing to play an integral role in the green economy, and the United States will need their help if we’re going to pull ourselves out of the recession and compete in the new economy on a global scale.

It’s true that men have been hit the hardest in the recession as far an unemployment numbers go, but we will need to seize the opportunity to diversify the future workforce in a way that will incorporate all workers in all areas of the clean energy economy—including those where women have been traditionally underrepresented.

The Bare Mineral

Many women with dark ethnic skin tones have been concerned about their skin turning ashy when they use mineral cosmetics. This has been expressed to me on more than one occasion so I decided it was probably time to explain exactly why this happens with some mineral makeup, but not with all minerals. Many also insist it is linked totally to the use of Titanium Dioxide in the products. This is only true to a degree.

Titanium Dioxide, when used in high concentrations, can cause an ashy appearance to dark skin since it is considered a pigment for lightening shades. It also has excellent light refracting properties only surpassed by diamonds, giving a brighter appearance to the face. However, not all minerals use this ingredient in high concentrations even if you see it as the first ingredient on the list. It may only be at a 5-25% concentration in the overall formula. If an ingredient list is primarily Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Iron Oxides and Mica, odds are this would be a formula that can cause considerable problems for turning dark skin gray or ashy.

A high quality blend of minerals and / or botanicals should readily melt with any skin tone if the ratios are put into proper proportion and Titanium is utilized more as a sunscreen component rather than a pigment for changing depth of shades. Different mineral makeup blends can achieve the lightening effects on pigments without it causing a white-out effect. Our blends of dark mineral foundation shades melt with your skin tone and the effect is the same for Delicate Rose Petal™, Dewy Rose Petal™ and Velvet Rose Petal™.

Another reason you may also appear ashy or gray is you are choosing the incorrect shade for your skin tone. If you should have a lot of golden, yellow or red in your skin using a shade that is geared toward neutrals, dark olive or cool chocolate (blue/red skin tones) will definitely create an ashy / gray appearance to the skin. So what you may have once been blaming on Titanium Dioxide, may actually be caused by too cool of a shade for your color. Also some companies may use black oxide in excess to darken shades and this will actually gray the shade instead of darkening it.

One other likely reason, and one that many dark skinned women don’t wish to accept at times, is heredity can give you a greenish / yellow cast to your face. This is your natural skin tone and is usually indicative of Olive skin. If you stray too far from this natural skin tone by trying to infuse too much red to counteract the yellow / greenish cast, you will appear as though you are wearing the wrong shade and can look pasty and ashy. Try to enhance your natural skin tone since this will look best on you. Other shading options are available through blush and bronzer if you wish to perk up a certain skin tone. A mineral makeup foundation done properly that truly matches and mirrors your natural skin will enhance it and you will suddenly appreciate what you were blessed with since your face will glow with the correct shade using a premium mineral makeup.

Another variation; dark skinned women wanting to counteract the deep reds they have in their skin for more of a golden yellow. Yet again, covering the deep reds that you possess naturally due to the depth of color you have, this will make you look like you are wearing the wrong shade. Too much yellow on a deep reddish brown skin will give you an unnatural appearance.

The best way to avoid a problem is to always try samples and make sure you purchase those in the warm deep golden / red tones if you have a reddish brown to caramel skin, or maybe try a more neutral tone to mix to adjust shade color or to enhance a true Olive skin. Sometimes unless the blue / red skin tone is quite obvious such in very dark skin tones, you may just not realize what you are doing to your skin with the incorrect shading. Sending a photo of yourself in natural daylight which includes face, shoulder, and neck and chest area to Sterling Minerals™ is always helpful so that I or one of my staff may further assist you in getting you close to a skin tone match with minimal sampling. You can send your photo to us at info@sterlingminerals.com.

Follow these simple practices and you will learn to “Celebrate Your Natural Beauty™”.
