Why You Should Treat Hormonal Acne Inteally, At Its Source Can you treat a headache or stomach ache exteally, without somehow manipulating your natural bodily functions inteally (aka popping a pill)? NO! Then why would you try to treat acne that way? Many acne treatment systems today such as Proactiv, target acne only from the outside, and do not address the issue interanally, as it should be for lasting and dramatic results. If you are really serious about treating acne and really eliminating it at it's source (ie the hormones that cause acne), then you owe it to yourself to try a natural acne hormone treatment which is specifically designed to equalize hormone imbalance and purify the skin from the inside out using special blends of herbs, botanicals, and/or natural compounds such as Vitamin E and Alpha Lipoic Acid. Why Go Natural Instead of Choosing a Conventional Acne Medication? Because many people who have not been responsive to conventional acne treatments, or their effectiveness has wo off due to long term use, experience superior results with natural acne treatments. Acne can actually be caused by two different hormones in women. It's usually an overabundance of androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones). In men, it can also be caused by imbalances in male and female hormones. This hormonal imbalance triggers the breakouts by over-stimulating the oil glands on acne prone areas of the body, which then results in a clogging of the pore, hence that thing we all know and love - the pimple. Antioxidants are also very potent as hormonal equalizers, as well as "blood purifiers", and their properties foster an environment for mending skin eruptions as well as preventing new breakouts and promoting a healthy glow and skin tone. Most natural acne treatments are designed to do two things: 1.) Help correct hormonal imbalances related to acne breakouts. 2.) Reduce inflammation and swelling, and pave the way for fast skin repair where breakouts have recently occurred. Some other tips you can follow to help prevent unsightly breakouts are: 1.) Drink plenty of water. This helps to cleanse the system, and results in clearer, more hydrated skin. 2.) Avoid caffeine and caffeine-containing products like chocolate or supplements containing caffeine or other stimulants. 3.) Relax. Try a calming exercise for when you get stressed out. Stress triggers breakouts for many individuals. 4.) Avoid harsh cleansers or toners - these can only aggravate acne and cause further irritation and redness. 5.) Use a light, non-comedogenic (non pore-clogging) sunscreen. While it is true a suntan may camouflage breakouts, it mostly aggravates them by forcing further oil production due to its drying effects. Try using a good facial self tanner instead. If you follow these few simple skincare principles, and combine them with a high quality acne treatment targeted to balance hormones and inteally "cleanse", you really can't lose. Your complexion will thank you!

Has this happened to you? SCENARIO NUMBER 1 Linda was visiting friends in Seattle and they fixed her up with Robert for a date. He suggested they have lunch and then he wanted to show her the tourist district. Of course it was one shop after another. Assuming that if she appeared interested in something, he would buy it for her, Linda kept it low key as they browsed through the beautiful shops. Then something caught her eye and she couldn't conceal it: a silly toy she knew her grandson would like. She picked it up, laughed, they played with it, and then she put it back. "Oh, go ahead and get it!" Robert said, and his hand reached automatically for his back pocket, but then he tued away. Linda went ahead and picked up the toy and they headed for the checkout counter. Suddenly Robert looked confused and fell back behind her, making sure she approached the counter first and alone. In other words, he made it clear he was NOT going to buy this $6 toy for her. You could almost see him fighting with himself! SCENARIO NUMBER 2 A couple of dates into a new relationship and Ted and Shannon were discussing what they liked. "Attention," said Shannon. "What kind of attention?" Ted asked, warming to the occasion. "Oh, different things. Sweet looks, lilttle remembrances, time with you," Shannon said. "It varies. But I like attention from you." (He had mentioned earlier, and she knew from friends that his former wife ignored him, worked all the time, and ultimately had an affair and left him.) Shannon smiled, wanting him to know how much she liked him, and he smiled back. Then there was a pause. A crestfallen face (remembering) was followed by a mask (hurting) as Ted delivered this door-slammer: "Sometimes you don't get what you like." What's going on here? It happens to all of us! DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU! Men know what women like and they're naturally inclined to do it. It's kind of natural with guys to want to give. But what's happened is, this guy has done all this before and it didn't work out. Now when he has the impulse to do something nice, he's thinking, "I did that before and what I got was divorced. I'm not falling for that one again!" or "If I buy her something, she'll walk all over me like my ex-wife did." Robert was really happy when he was thinking about buying the toy for Linda. It showed all over his face. Then he remembered something, and he stopped himself. BTW, this isn't about the "buying," it's about giving. Needless to say Linda has $6 to buy the toy; she'd gotten herself to Seattle after all! It's Linda's pleasure to receive gifts when they're given to her. It's part of the give-and-take of relationships. She might offer to buy coffee and dessert later. It starts the "we" thing going. Ted is a loving man who had been starved for affection. Remembering the former rebuffs, he retreated in steely resignation – "Well, I didn't get what I wanted (in the former relationship), so I'm not going to give YOU, what YOU want" – when he and Shannon had already spent many hours together getting along well, and he had been very attentive! Until he thought about it, that is. TURN OFF THE TALKING-HEAD! STOP THE CEREBRAL SABOTEUR! DE-ACTIVATE THE DOUBLE-THINKOVER! It's really sad to deny who you are because of your self-talk about previous relationships. You start to reach out for the other person and then up pipes that voice saying you'll get hurt, or taken advantage of, it won't work, or it's all in vain. You tried it before and it didn't work. Well this is a new person and a new beginning. This new person may respond differently. In fact I can almost guarantee you they will. What I'm talking about here is being yourself, separating out the past from the present, and treating each man as an individual who will not necessarily behave or respond the way the last one did. (Of course if you keep picking losers and think it's a patte, please get help.) The Chinese say you never step twice in the same river. It wasn't giving him back rubs, or being considerate or generous to him that broke up your previous relationship. We throw out a whole set of behaviors because they're associated with bad outcomes in the past. Yes you DO know how to do things and how to make a relationship work; you just were with the wrong person, or the timing was wrong, or the place was wrong. Did you ever consider that? One of the fun things about dating is when you find out that Modigliani print in the living room your ex hated, just thrills your new guy, and this applies to qualities, traits and behaviours as well. We have to separate out what caused what, and who is who in the after-divorce scenario. As I say in my book, "Midlife Dating Manual for Women," until you can, you aren't ready to date. You'll trip all over yourself wanting to do something quite natural, and then slap yourself on the wrist. You aren't emotionally available. Marriages end because the people are no longer being nice to each other. But it wasn't BEING NICE that got you there. It was other things. You were breathing, weren't you, when you were with your ex. You still intend to keep doing that, don't you? Don't throw the baby out with the bath water! Of COURSE find out what the guy likes, and then give it with all your heart if you like him. Just because the last guy didn't like you, want your attention, appreciate you, or respond to your kindness, doesn't mean this one won't. It's about BEING WHO YOU ARE not worrying about WHAT YOU'RE DOING. It's only fun when you can be relaxed and be yourself, including lots of nice little gestures and kindnesses to the other person, and being able to enjoy giving, receiving, and sharing.

Whether you are just getting started doing business on the Inteet, or are a seasoned professional, there is one aspect of Inteet Business that will always stay at the top of the "Essential Skills" list! Dependence!!! Let me show you how. First of all, even if you ARE considered a pro in this industry, you'd better not get too comfortable with that title. The inteet is growing and changing so quickly, that what you are an expert at today, may present you with a lot to lea tomorrow! So, essentially, newbies and old pros are sharing a level playing field. There will always be opportunity to lea something new. The best way to go about leaing is to depend on those who are ahead of you!!! Depend on a mentor! And, that works both ways! YOU will NEED to be willing to BE depended on AS a mentor also! I know, you're already telling me how busy you are, and how in the world would you find time to be at someone's beck and call? The truth is: ***Time spent mentoring will be the most valuable business investment you will ever make! *** I have had the great fortune of being mentored through the maze of inteet business by my good friend Michael Smith. Notice that I said, "Good Friend". That has been the by-product of the mentoring! And a valuable one to boot! It was he who contacted me with a suggestion for my site. I took him up on the suggestion, and his willingness to give help whenever I needed it was thrown in with the deal! What has become of my business (and his!) since then is incredible! We now share a joint venture at YMTC (http://www.coyote-art.com) I know Mike would agree - it has been a win-win situation. We are now dependent on each other in various ways. There have been business benefits for both of us. One word of caution: A successful mentoring situation depends almost TOTALLY on honesty and integrity, As a mentor, you must develop a sense of trust between you and your mentoree. You MIGHT be able to do this on false pretenses and selfish motives for a short time. But it will come back to haunt you. >From the standpoint of the "mentoree", you must be careful, also. Make SURE you have enough information about the person who is teaching you to feel totally comfortable with what they are offering. Don't go into something lightly. If they are shooting straight with you, they won't have any problem with you checking out their credentials. It is obvious how working with a mentor can be a benefit for the one doing the leaing. So, what are the benefits for the mentor? Simple. MORE BUSINESS. You're thinking this contradicts with the earlier statement about unselfish motives??? Not at all. As the two of you develop a relationship of trust and loyalty, it goes without saying that the person you are teaching will take an interest in whatever products or services you offer - IF it is something that will benefit his or her own business. That is where the integrity comes in for the mentor. Do NOT go into a mentoring situation with the goal of cramming everything you sell down the throat of your student. In fact, you'll probably lose your student if you do. MOST people are smart enough to see through even the most carefully woven sales pitch. Keep your student's best interest at heart above all things, and the benefits to both of you will flow naturally. As your student leas, he, too will have valuable resources to offer you and your business. The absolute best attitude to take on as you go into a mentoring situation is to be ready to give, with NO strings attached. That is an age-old truth that ALWAYS brings blessings to the giver. So, once again, whether you are a newbie or an expert, you can benefit greatly from a mentoring situation. If you need a mentor, and don't know where to start looking, please feel free to contact Mike or me. We are both at different stages in the "Inteet Leaing Process", and both have different skills to offer. We do have one important thing in common, though. We are both more than willing to help you at whatever stage you are at! You will be a mentor yourself in no time!!! (Our addresses are listed below!)

Sending a thank you or follow-up letter within 24 hours of an interview is not a new idea, but it is still a good idea. A key reason to send a thank you letter is to nurture new and existing relationships. Plan to send a thank you letter to all the people that assist in your job search. This group includes the people that you meet during an interview; your existing contacts that provide written recommendations, and any friend (or friends of friends) that offer career related leads or information. Thank you is a good place to start relationships that will greatly contribute to your ability to secure the right job in record time! Unless you have a good reason for sending a card or a handwritten letter to your target reader, plan to send an e-mail that is easy to produce. Use the subject line to note "thank you for the interview". This action demonstrates a respect for their busy schedule and an understanding that they may want to read this e-mail after they have read all their urgent e-mails. Start every thank you letter by expressing your appreciation for the interest and time that people have invested in your career. Then, when you highlight that you are still interested in securing a new challenge, take this opportunity to feature your most relevant skills. For example, "My interest in working for (the name of the company or organization) is stronger than ever, and based on your description of the position, I know that my previous experience in (specify) provides the expertise required to make immediate contributions to your team." End your letter using the "opening the door" technique. Your closing paragraph for a thank you letter related to an interview should clearly state when you will call to schedule a meeting time. For example, "I would like to meet with you again to discuss this position. If I do not hear from you within the next five days, I will call you to schedule a convenient time to meet. In the meantime, I will be happy to provide any other information you may need to assist in your decision." When you are writing to someone that has already provided information, your "opening the door" approach will reflect an appreciation for the assistance provided. In this situation, focus on advising your contact that you will provide an update on the progress of your job search. Your update should detail how the information they provided contributed to your success. Networking after the initial contact is easy when you have something as important as thank you to communicate. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your job search network!

So you want to be successful. For What Purpose? When I first heard that question I said, "You've got to be crazy, to have a lot of money. What else?" This was quickly followed by the question, For What Purpose? I have to tell you that I went dead silent. My mental wheels were spinning. My eyes glazed over into what can best be described as a "thousand yard" stare. Until that point in time I hadn't really considered what was my purpose for anything. I thought I knew the "why" of what I was doing with my life. I was working to support my family. That's "why" I had a job. But there was always the statement quietly running in the back of my mind "...there had to be more to life than this." Then it hit me. I was thinking and talking about the DOing in my life and not the BEing. You and I are called Human Beings, not Human Doings, and yet the "do-ing-ness" was the direction that I had leaed to travel. From where did that come? As I looked at my life I discovered that there were thought pattes that had been with me for as long as I can remember. They were so rooted in my mind that they all but transparent. And it was those pattes brought into realization through my words and outer activities that were in charge. No wonder I thought that "..there had to be more to life than this." Let me tell you, right here and now, that I didn't come from a dysfunctional family. I wasn't bo into poverty, nor with a "silver spoon". I wasn't abused as a child. My family loves me and it shows in a thousand ways. There was nothing "wrong" with me. I write these words so that you will KNOW you don't have to have had a "horrible" childhood and/or life to date to pick up these now transparent pattes. Regardless of your background it is the pattes you have picked up and held tightly together, running in the background, that are the roadblocks you see in the here and now which prevent you from being who you want to be; Doing what you want to do: Having what you want to have. Let me give you an example. When I was about six years old my parents divorced. As I was the eldest of two boys I was told that I was the "man of the house." At six years of age I had no idea of how to be the man of the house. This thought was enforced by being repeated by loving family members throughout my childhood. I was often told that I was "..doing a great job as man of the house..." The truth of the matter was that I didn't know how to be the man of the house. But, I quickly leaed that as long as I did nothing "wrong" they would love me. Over the years this developed into, "...If I do nothing, they will still love me..." As a result there are many instances where I "did nothing" It was a safe place to be. It was also a roadblock to becoming successful. For doing nothing results in nothing. So what to do? The very first thing that I had to dig deep within and uncover what I knew was there. My Purpose for BEing. With careful cultivation I developed a statement that make my heart sing. The purpose of my life is to share with individuals (just like you) the REALITY of Living every moment with Love, Harmony and Mindful Abundance. Now when those thoughts of "do nothing" appear, I choose to shift towards truly living on Purpose. I use that word "towards" on purpose as well. We get so excited that we recogize these old limiting pattes are running the show so we are constantly shifting....and not getting anywhere with it. If a shift is based in fear, and the shift is based in running away from your old limiting pattes then it is destined to be shallow and not entirely effective. My good friend, Julie Jordan Scott, put it this way: "When a shift is based on Moving Towards your TRUE purpose and you are INTENTIONALLY and truly FOCUSED on your life purpose, you have a tool which can be life changing." So now when the question is asked, For What Purpose? I have an answer.

With the inteets growing popularity across the globe, many entreprenurs have developed viable businesses to capitalize on the inteet's vast audience. Few have been able to reach the success of The Rich Jerk, a small business owner that operates a variety of business online. When it comes to making money online, this individual has a lot to teach academics such as myself. He has eaed millions of dollars over the last 6 years, working in his home only a few hours a day. Although I was very skeptical to purchase this type of product online, I was reluctant to read a 500 page book from the bookstore that told me whole lot of nothing. Anyways, I bought the book, implemented his strategies and I've made more money in the last three months than I did last year at my full time job. I definately recommend this product for anyone that would like a life changing income stream. For information about The Rich Jerk, visit the following link. Click Here!

Millions of the people worldwide suffer from hair loss and this is the reason why hair loss remedies are a billion dollar industry. The answer to the million-dollar question of how to get hair back is to know how you lost it in the first place. You can determine the correct remedy for hair loss only after you know the exact cause of hair loss. #1 Get Your Hormones Checked Specific problems with the hormones such as thyroid and pituitary is a cause of hair loss. Consult your doctor to conduct relevant tests and rule out this possibility. If a hormonal imbalance were the reason for hair loss, the doctor would recommend a course of appropriate drugs to solve the problem. #2 Anti - Androgenic Therapy Excessive amount of DHT (which is a component of the male hormone) causes hair loss and baldness. If DHT were the problem and causing hair loss, the doctor would put you on drugs that form a part of antiandrogen therapy. In women, the treatment is called CPA (cyproterone acetate) with ethinyl-estradiol. The therapy typically lasts for a period of one year. #3 Some Wonder Drugs - Over the years, researchers have invented certain drugs that work very successfully for hair loss. This includes minoxidil (more popularly known as Rogaine) and finasteride. However, finasteride is not for good for hair loss among women. #4 Keep the Scalp Clean Clean the scalp of dirt, dandruff and excess oil can help prevent hair loss. #5 Hair Transplant Hair transplant is surgical method to treat hair loss. It involves operations that extract parts of the scalp from the sides and back of the head where the hair grows well. It is then implanted on those regions of the head that are going bald. Hair re-growth is possible because the hair follicles in the side and the back of the head are immune to the hair loss problems. However, It is an expensive procedure. It costs approximately $15,000 and takes 1-2 years to complete. #6 Hair Weaving Hair weaving is not a surgical method for hair loss. This cosmetic procedure attaches extensions of natural or synthetic hair. #7 Tissue Expansion In this procedure, silicone bags are inserted beneath hair- bearing skin to expand the tissues. This is then transferred to the areas with a hair loss or baldness. #8 Other Solutions Some other solutions camouflage the hair loss or baldness problem. These include using wigs or toupees and getting a smart haircut to hide thinning hair or bald patches. For this process, you need the services of a skilled barber. =========================================================== Find out what causes hair loss, and discover latest techniques and ideas for effective hair loss treatment.
