Bald, the NEW Natural?

I certainly didn’t forget about the fellas when it comes to my natural bath and body products. I know it seems like when they’re talking about natural bath and body, the guys are almost always left out. Not here!As I wrote before, my family is my guinea pigs and my husband works closely with me in the testing and development of my products10744004460?profile=original. My daughter is my tester for my eczema products and my two sons, well, let’s just say they stay oily and fragranced.

Oh, yes, about bald men. My husband is a baldie by choice – he shaves his head every week or so. I noticed that even though he used shaving cream and rinsed well after shaving his head and used (gasp!) lotion, sometimes the skin at the back of the neck would dry out during the course of the day. It just wouldn’t do for the husband of “the natural skincare sista” to walk around with dry skin!

Now, my husband is a really simple person and, like many men, don’t want to deal with a lot of potions and creams in his morning routine. So I persuaded him to try to use the megamix whip on his head and it worked great! Not only did it absorb quickly and nourish that dry skin, but it left a nice sheen on the skin.Some tips for bald men to keep that dome sexy and sleek:

* Always shave with a sharp razor – a dull razor will not give a close shave and may cause razor bumps

* When using a razor, always use a moisturizing shaving cream or shave oil to avoid nicks and cuts – virgin coconut oil can be used

* Use a soothing scalp conditioner on your head after shaving – you need to replenish your scalp’s natural oils try our Megamix Whip which isavailable here. After you’re all done, head over toBlack Pearl Style Creations for a custom made knit scarf set to keep your head warm during the cold winter months!

ENTREPRENEURS MUST MAKE MONEY!

Entrepreneurs today are struggling. A few are earning but the greater majority of people are not able to earn enough to sustain themselves in businessYes the economy is damp but business stimulates the economy. So the need for entrepreneurs is greatToday I see an incredible interest in business and more are taking the plunge headlong into entrepreneurship. Commendable & I applaud youHowever, the statistics of entrepreneurs making money is not on the rise. In fact, the numbers are staggeringNow, being in business and staying in business does call for some overhead dollars. Even the basics – maintaining a website, small advertisements etc. The struggle is, entrepreneurs without a foundation in business or no hands on real marketing plan are destined to go around in circles for yearsSo many get ensnared in all the gimmicks online and set themselves back many yearsWinning in business hinges on solid business principles, a decision to win, robust skill set and a kick butt marketing, tactical plan of action – add daily support to reduce the window of errorsThere’s a huge difference between spoon feeding and giving people the right tools, skill set and game plan to go win in businessMost do not have a business background nor do they understand the changing face of marketing online and offlineBut as entrepreneurs today, if you don’t snap out of it, and begin separating fact from fiction on the internet and take responsibility for your future and business you are in for a bitter dose of reality – a lot of effort, no progress, no money and not too much further from where you startedThe dawn of a new era is here, listen to the call and move with a sense of urgency and get the answers – it’s your time!(This is for you if you are a small business owner, mlm marketer, internet marketer, entrepreneur, work from home, earn from home, direct marketing entrepreneur)Nadira180DaysToGreatness Creator & Coachwww.180DaysToGreatness.comFollow me on Twitter www.twitter.com/nadirahaniffEmail: coach@nadirahaniff.com

Staying Alive!

As each day seems to be quite unpredictable, one thing is certainly predictable - the economy is slipping further into the negative direction. As we look to our new president elect Barack Obama to create a miraculous turn, we realize that he will not take office until January and things are not looking good - we need help now. The talk of working to fix the economy is just not enough - we want immediate action. Some of us cannot wait that long......and January 21st, 2009 will not be the day we see the difference. It appears that the focus is mainly on Wall Street and the big companies as they are looked to be the leaders of the economy. However, we know that this dilemma affects us all.Health care is an essential part of business. However, the health care industry is also facing major cuts in various areas. Who would think that this day would ever come? When one would ask what fields are sound to find stability - the health care industry would be mentioned on the top of the list. The truth is, this is not so true anymore. Hospitals are laying off their employees and replacing them with temporary employees. Nurses are signing on to temporary agencies to keep themselves employed. Hospitals and Nursing Homes have closed. Moratoriums are in place for certain business applications who seek to do business within various states. Partnership programs that provides health care services to low income and under served communities have already close due to the loss of funding and those who remain open are preparing to layoff workers within the next few weeks.The health care industry is the line of business that we target. However, we have had to make some major adjustments to find ways to stay viable. We had to review our services and find ways to become creative. It is certainly not an easy task as we have to convince the clients that we can offer them just what they need. How is your business doing? Have you considered reviewing your business plan, looking at what you have to offer and who can benefit from your services? As I mentioned before, we are a health care focused company. However, we have found ourselves doing business with corporate companies that needed our service - who would have even imagined that we could cross over? Yet we have and it is helping to keep us alive. Look closely at your business, can you use your expertise and help others in the field? Have you considered being a speaker/lecturer at a local community college? How about hosting an event that shows off your business? It does not have to be a big shing dig - just a simple customer appreciation day - with juice, fruit and pastries. Smile at your customers - let them know how much you value their patronage. It may be the thing to keep them coming back and telling others - and that's a plus.

Information about Flash Websites you should know

Flash animation captures attention. They are exciting visual presentations that make strong impressions. A flash site is a mini movie that creates excitement for any creative artist. Animated sites are graphic intensive websites that are best seen using a broadband or cable connection. Although dial-up connections will load flash presentations, the load time of the site on dial-up could be an issue.Flash requires a flash player plug-in in your browser in order to view any flash site. All computers now come with the latest flash player plug-in already installed in the browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc . . ) If you have problems viewing animated sites, it maybe the version of the flash player. Visit http://www.adobe.com and download and install the latest flash player version. Remember, flash content is not visible in a browser without a flash player plug-in installed in that browser.When you update any flash site, it is always good to change the name of the flash file. Updated flash files are not seen because of browser history. If you know a flash file has been updated and you cannot view the updates, simply delete browser cookies and browser history. How you remove browser cookies depends on which browser you use. Once these are deleted, close the browser. Deleting without closing is like you have not deleted at all.For more information about graphic intensive websites, Lisa@LisaHenry.org or http://www.lisahenry.org

The 12 "ATTITUDE" SUCCESS KEYS

THE 12 ‘ATTITUDE’ SUCCESS KEYSTo survive and succeed in life, is to learn how to cope with all the ups and downs that be undoubtedly be thrown your way. This can only be accomplished by developing and maintaining a positive attitude. It is not what happens to you that matters, but how your react to it.You can choose to let disappointment get you down or you can choose to consider it a learning experience and move on. The choice is yours. When you are discouraged or even depressed by missed opportunities goals or you can dust yourself off, smile defiantly and try again-the choice is ultimately and always yours.The following “Attitude” success keys will help you make the most of every situation that comes your way.Talk positively to yourself. We all make mistakes, nobody goes through life without making mistakes and experiencing failure. Tell yourself you can do things well and be satisfied with the knowledge that mistakes are natural and failures are inevitable. Choose to become an optimist, smile when you feel down, learn from all your mistakes, become resilient, objective and flexible.Be confident. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want. The worst that can happen is the answer will be no, it is not the end of the world, no big deal. But if you never ask, you’ll never get a yes. Always be respectful and polite.Show appreciation. When you have gained what you wanted or when others have shown you an unexpected favor. Offer genuine praise and recognition on a regular basis and never wait until an important meeting to make an announcement about a job well doneBe friendly and approachable. Always greet anyone you meet with warmth and enthusiasm. Smile and be ready and willing to give assistance when ever needed.Be consistent. Constantly nature relationships and maintain open lines of communication. Not only when you want something, but on a regular basis.Don’t take everything personally. Although it’s important to be self aware, you do need to realize that many things that happen, have more to do with other people than you. Paranoia feeds on itself. If you catch people you know talking together without you, do not immediately assume they are talking about you - its better to turn your attention to something worthwhile and get on with your day.Be persistent. Never give up. No matter challenges fall you way, you must try another strategy or find another way to achieve your goals.Eliminate the words ‘if only’. From time to time, we all say things like ‘if only I had a better job’ or ‘if only I had more money’, but if you find yourself dwelling on all the things you don’t have, you’ll never move ahead. Take time to focus on all the positive things that you do have in your life and work actively on attaining your goals.Pay attention to others. Be an excellent listener. Keep an open mind and listen to both positive and negative opinions, most people talk too much and listen too little.Don’t add insult to injury. If things haven’t gone as planned, don’t immediately start to call yourself names. You wouldn’t put up with someone else calling you a loser or an idiot, so don’t put up with the same behavior from yourself.Become resilient. Learn to bounce back quickly after rejection or disappointment. Know that your feelings always show through your emotions, tone or voice. Never allow yourself time for a ‘pity party’.Have a ‘can do’ attitude. Ultimately it is your own attitude that will have the greatest impact on your life. A ‘can do’ attitude will lead you to believe in yourself, your abilities and the fact that one person can make a difference. And it will rub off on other people. Not only will they see you as a positive, cheerful person, your attitude will become contagious and will in turn, affect those who you come in contact with.©2002Need a speaker for your upcoming event:Walethia Aquil is the founder and director of Aquil Consulting and Training.

Slave Cemetery Found in Wake Forest, NC!

"If they could not rest in life, let them in death!"A slave cemetery has been found in Wake Forest, North Carolina. This grave site was found 10 ten years ago by John Hebert. He kept it a secret to keep it safe so people would not come in and try to steal artifacts. It's probably the only true place where the slaves can rest, and now the Wake County Board of Education wants to build over it. It's a historical site that should not be forgotten and built over. Don't let the suffering of 65 to 70 slaves be tread on just because the school board wants another high school.www.SavetheSlaves.com

How to Conceal a Tattoo with Makeup

Even those of us who love our body art occasionally need or want to cover it up, whether for work purposes, a formal function, or a visit to family who might not approve. If clothing won’t meet your cover-up needs, then it’s time to learn how to artfully apply makeup to disguise your ink.The Right Product“Street” foundations and concealers will work to hide under eye circles and small blemishes, but they won’t provide the full and lasting coverage of a specialty product. There are numerous heavy-duty concealers on the market, such as Dermablend or Ben Nye Concealer Palette; these are the same products that TV and film makeup artists use to cover an actor’s tattoos and other permanent marks (such as scars or veins).Look for a product that is completely opaque, heavy, and creamy, not one of the “liquid-to-powder” foundations. Any product with the phrases “sheer” or “light” in the description will not do the trick for this cover-up job! Most tattoos use a blue-based ink, so a yellow concealer will help to counteract the blue tones. Also, make sure that the concealer matches your skin tone exactly. When applying body makeup, even the slightest variation between the makeup and your skin tone is just as obvious as the tattoo itself. If necessary, purchase several shades and mix to match your skin tone.You can find specialty tattoo concealers in the cosmetic sections of large department stores. When purchasing in department stores, you have the added bonus of being able to test the product and receive recommendations from the cosmetic consultants. If you cannot find a tattoo concealer in your area, you can always search and order online.ApplicationWith body makeup, long-lasting coverage is vital. Many cream concealers and foundations will leave traces of makeup on your clothes ---or worse, on other people’s clothes! The last thing you want after carefully disguising your tattoo is to have the makeup smudge or disappear, revealing your ink. Practice with your concealer ahead of time to make sure that it lives up to its promises.For lasting results, you must first begin with a clean and dry foundation. Cleanse your skin as usual, and then use a toner to wipe away any traces of dirt, oil, and makeup. Rinse the area and pat dry. Next, follow the recommendations on the package of your product. Some products will require several layers, but others promise one-step application.Use a clean, dry makeup sponge for a smooth application. First, apply the product to the area, then use the sponge to spread the concealer evenly. If you are applying several coats, allow each to dry completely. If possible, you might want to cover all exposed skin in the area for an even look. This works well for a facial or hand tattoo but won’t work as well if you are exposing a lot of skin. If you can’t or don’t want to cover all of your skin, make sure to blend the makeup carefully into the surrounding area.When you are satisfied with the coverage, dust the area with translucent powder to set the makeup in place (some products come with a powder designed to work with that specific formula). Then, test your makeup job by gently wiping a cotton swab or piece of tissue across the surface, and hopefully, your makeup won’t smudge!Finally, check the coverage in several types of light: if you’ll be in bright light, you’ll need even heavier coverage than in dim lighting. And if all else fails, consult a professional makeup artist for his or her expertise!

My Dear Sisters,I feel so truly blessed to have lived through many historical moments during my lifetime and I just wanted to share my feelings with you. Unfortunately most of these moments have been tragic with the untimely deaths of JFK, Bobby, MLK, and Brother Malcolm, plus many conflicts of war, the riots in Newark, NJ and Los Angeles. Many of my friends did not return from Viet Nam and Desert Storm, but on the other hand my blessings have abounded I saw the multitudes march on Washington, I saw the first man on the moon,, I heard Martin's speech forty years ago as a teenager (glued to the black and white images across the screen.) I rooted for sister Shirley Chisolm, Brothers Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton as they drew their line in the sand during their respective attempts at the presidency...and now I have seen the first Black President Elect in the history of this country.You have no idea the feelings swelling within me right now! You know when Michelle Obama said she had never been more proud to be an American? That's what I feel and even more (maybe 100 fold.) Words can not even come close to paint that picture.I now know more emphatically why my mother and father shed tears that I could not comprehend at the time (in the late 50's and 60's and even early 70's.) My paternal grandmother was conceived after slavery in 1885 (God bless her soul she lived to be 94,) and her father was...the former slave master himself. So just put every positive thought and feeling you can imagine when you fast forward to 11/04/08 ...and that's where I am.Will YOU remember where you were at the particular time when the it was officially announced...that Barack Obama would be the next President of these United States? My husband and I were invited to various watch parties, but we wanted to share this historic event with our 15 and 13 year old children. We wanted to talk and share with them how we felt and get them to open up about their feelings too. We wanted them to understand what this event meant and to be able to discuss our personal feelings so they would want to share theirs with us. I hope each and everyone who reads this, had an exceptionally wonderful day on 11/04/2008 and the historic implications will be etched in your hearts and souls forever. So let me tell you something my sisters, you will never forget where you were and what you were doing or who you were with on that historic day. I remember something about every single one of those major events that I mentioned that happened in my life and so will you. And tell your children, and your grandchildren. Never let this story be forgotten. Remember Alex Haley. If his ancestors story hadn't been preserved through the art of story telling, we would have not been inspired by his family's story in the epic mini-series and book "Roots".Love, peace and unity your sista, Darlene
