After you've cleared your space, consider re-populating it with a few choice, meaningful pieces from home. Make sure you have room for a few items and that any picture frames or toys from home won't add more clutter to your space. When dressing up your cubicle sanctuary, remember that less is always more but a homely touch will increase your sense of belonging. Here are some sanctuary-inducing additions to your space: Family and pet photos. One of the best ways to add warmth and personality to your cube is to place a few family and pet photos in your area. Consider adding your favorite photo next to your computer or workstation and then a few smaller framed photos on shelves. It'll cheer you to see these faces regularly and family members and pets always make great talking points with coworkers. If you have room, a nice green plant can remove the sterility from a cubicle environment. Select a plant that requires very little maintenance or go for a realistic silk plant. You'll also need a mist spray bottle for regular watering. Is the office chair uncomfortable or perhaps it feels cold in the morning? Add a small throw blanket or pillow from home to make your space more inviting. Choose a color that makes you feel peaceful or energized. Images of your favorite vacation spots, outdoor areas and beautiful scenes can brighten up a cubicle space and remind you to plan that next vacation! Inspirational or motivational posters can create a sense of harmony too. Find a phrase or an image with a quote that brightens your day and let everyone else enjoy it too by pinning it up. A nice phrase is one from Dr. Jill Bolt Taylor that requests: "Please take responsibility for the energy you bring into this place." And, of course, you can't go past the perennial phrase "Think Outside the Box."

Summary: Bring home to work. Add an easy-to-care-for plant or two. Bring in a small throw blanket or pillow. Pin up photos, posters and prints of the great outdoors.

Pick up a bottle of aloe vera at any big box store or pharmacy. If your acne hurts or you feel the pimple digging deep into your skin, rub a pea-sized drop of aloe vera directly into the affected area. Aloe vera is mentholated and it will soothe the pain and help reduce the inflammation from the acne. Aloe vera will also help your pores breathe. Be careful about applying it too close to your eyes though, since the minty fumes can make your eyes water or become irritated. Some people aren't big fans of aloe vera. If you don't like the minty feeling, don't worry. You can use other products to treat your acne just as well. While research is still being conducted, tea tree oil is likely very good for moderate acne. It has the ability to reduce inflammation, which can cause acne to shrink and dissipate. Purchase an organic moisturizer with tea tree oil as the main ingredient and rub a small dollop directly around the acne to reduce inflammation. Avoid putting an undiluted essential oil directly on your skin. This can cause a negative reaction and may make your acne worse. One of the newer discoveries is that purified bee venom can reduce the overall impact of acne. Purchase a product that uses purified bee venom as a key ingredient. Work a pea-sized dollop into your skin by hand to treat your acne. Do this daily for 3-6 weeks until the acne clears up. You cannot use bee venom if you're allergic to bees. Purified bee venom may sound kind of freaky, but it's a great option if you're looking for a solid natural treatment! Vitamin C has the ability to help skin naturally repair itself without introducing synthetic chemicals into your skin. Pick up a vitamin C-based moisturizer or lotion online or from your local pharmacy. After bouts of acne have cleared up, apply your vitamin C-based product to the skin. There is evidence that this will keep scars from forming and help your skin return to its original texture faster. Any cleanser or toner with alcohol in it can dry your skin out and kill the skin cells, so it's best to avoid it. When it comes to folk remedies and DIY toners, you're better off sticking with regulated products. Most countries regulate skincare products, but anything you mix in your kitchen could damage your skin. There is no evidence that apple cider vinegar will clear acne up. It will definitely dry your skin out, though if that's all you're trying to do. There is some evidence that asprin can treat acne, but it hasn't been thoroughly studied and it's yet to be used in many skincare products. Honey has anti-inflammatory properties and it may ease some of the pain from acne. There's no research to suggest that it clears acne up, though.

Summary: Dab aloe vera on painful acne and deeper pimples. Use a tea tree oil-based product for mild cases of acne. Look for products with purified bee venom to restore your skin. Opt for lotions with vitamin C to repair skin after your acne clears. Avoid alcohol-based cleansers and DIY toners to keep your skin safe.
