Problem: Article: Drink plenty of water to clear up your skin and aid your kidneys in excreting toxins from your body. If your acne is severe, see a dermatologist. If your acne is mild and sporadic, use a concealer when you get spots. Remember, pat in the concealer. Find out what skin type you have, and buy facial cleansers for your specific skin type. Always remove make-up at the end of the day, and wash your face twice (morning and night). Use a good moisturizer so your skin is hydrated. Try to use a moisturizer with sunscreen during the daytime. If you tend to have oily skin, carry oil-absorbing pads with you to blot your skin with every few hours. You can squeeze some fresh lemon onto your fingertips and apply it to any spots you may have on your face. Wash your face twice a day. In the morning, splash your face with cold water for about 10 seconds. Then pat dry with a washcloth or facial sponge. This helps stimulate blood flow and is really good for the skin. Since your feet will be exposed a lot through wearing sandals, make sure they're pleasing to look at. You can have a pedicure done, or give yourself one. Just make sure your feet are clean, hair-free, nails aren't too long, nails are filed, and your feet are moisturized. Be sure to use sunscreen on your feet, too. As for your hands, try putting a clear polish on your nails and keeping them well groomed. If your hands tend to be dry, apply a moisturizer at night and wear white cotton gloves while you sleep (this also works well in the winter). You will wake up with softer, more beautiful hands. Always use sunscreen. You will still tan but you will cause a lot less damage to your skin. Use self-tanning lotion or cream. Many people get skin cancer, even if they just get a tan, not a burn. It is just like regular cancer, and can be fatal, unless surgically (or with a laser) removed. Remain physically active. Go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. If a gym is not accessible, go swimming, biking, rollerblading, walking, etc. Do whatever works for you and suits your face. If your hair is curly, use a product to define your curls. If you're looking for a new style, go to a hairdresser and ask for his or her opinion. A professional will be able to help you pick a style and color that will suit your face and skin tone. Wash and dry your hair regularly. French braid your hair on both sides of your head before bedtime, then remove the braids in the morning and you'll have instant waves. It's so quick and easy! This is not necessary but if your parents allow it, it could be useful. Use a mascara that is waterproof, which is best for summer and it's likely that you'll be sweating, swimming, etc. Curl your eyelashes before you use mascara, it will make your eyes pop. Apply bronzer to your cheeks, forehead, nose and chin; this will give you a nice summer glow. If you have pimples, dot on concealer and seal it with powder. Now, although makeup can improve the way you look temporarily, you mustn't forget that if you wear it continuously you may not be satisfied with the way you look without it on.
Summary: Fix your face. Don't forget the hands and feet. Care for your body. Work with your hair. Apply make-up.

Problem: Article: Even a case that is completely resolved in your favor may include aftercare services. Social services may check in on you and make sure you finished any programs recommended during the court case. Despite any resentment you may harbor, being polite and professional will get social services out of your life the quickest. Make the social worker feel like there is nothing more to this case and it is time for her to close your file for good. Remember, two out of three child abuse cases end up unsubstantiated. Even if your case went to court and was resolved in your favor, you have suffered a huge amount of stress in your life. Whether you seek out a self-help group or enter into therapy, having a non-judgmental outlet can help you cope with the trauma. Your counselor can help you with methods to explain the situation to your friends and family. Depending on the circumstances of the child abuse allegations, you may have suffered professional humiliation or even job loss as a result. Speak with your attorney about getting a copy of the best document showing that the case was either closed or resolved in your favor. Use that evidence to help your clear your name with your job, professional associations, and co-workers. Don't let the situation lapse into awkward silence where suspicions may linger about your potential guilt. If a professional license has been suspended or revoked, contact the licensing agency about how to appeal the decision. Typically, this will be done in writing and you can include documents showing that the case against you was unsubstantiated or closed. If allowed, ask for a hearing or meeting to explain it in person. Consult with an attorney to see if you have any legal recourse against your former employer. If the accusations revolved around your child and your family, it can be easy to let hostility and resentment linger and taint your relationships. As you work through your counseling, remember that your child should come first. He made need therapy or counseling as well, and you, as the adult, can help make that happen.
Summary: Follow through with social services. Seek out counseling and support. Repair your professional associations. Concentrate on the relationship with your child.

Problem: Article: You can buy Vaseline at your local pharmacy. If necessary you can choose a different off brand version of Vaseline if you're looking to save a little money. Any type of petroleum jelly or Vaseline type substance has the same jelly that adheres to the gum and causes it to loose its stickiness. It becomes smooth and hard and will fall off your skin much more easily. You can buy the smallest size possible if you don't use it very often, because you won't need very much to get the gum off your skin. When you put Vaseline on the gum it will naturally ball up and come off. However, you might need to wait a minute or so for this process to completely take effect. Don't try to pull it off immediately after you put the Vaseline on let the Vaseline soak into the gum and your skin first.
Summary: Buy regular unscented Vaseline. Wait for the gum to come off.

Problem: Article: Search online for pricing information, and ask experienced DJs if they wouldn't mind telling you what they charge. Then offer to DJ at a fraction of that price, such as 50%, for your initial engagements. It might be tempting to go after a huge gig early on, but avoid that temptation. Big gigs will be available when you're ready for them. You don't want to get discouraged, harm your reputation, or burn any bridges by biting off more than you can chew. If you are doing only parties, for example, offer to do weddings, too, or bar/bat mitzvahs, retirements, birthdays, anniversaries, school dances, and other functions. You could specialize in a certain type of music or event, or incorporate a karaoke machine. A lot of customers request videos at their events. These could include slideshows or graphics that complement your music. This can increase your customer base and open up new avenues for work. Think of advertising online, for example, or in trade outlets for the types of events you want to host. These might include bridal outlets or event production media. Send out your own e-newsletter and/or email blasts to venues where you'd like to DJ. Highlight your experience and the type of gigs you do. Emphasize that you're flexible and can accommodate the host's musical preferences. Include clear contact information, and offer free, individual estimates over the phone, not online. See if you can get a guest post or column on blogs and other media. Seek out DJ publications for this purpose, and look at niche or trade outlets for the types of events and activities you want to DJ.
Summary:
Offer to DJ events at a discounted price. Don't pursue a once-in-a-lifetime event when you are under-qualified. Expand your business into new territories. Design a unique business proposal that makes you different from other disc jockeys. Advertise your business. Fashion a cool website. Contribute content to other sites.
