article: These are high-tech plastic pieces that are specifically designed to conceal a nose ring. Conceal the piercing with a flesh-colored acrylic retainer. There are small domes or balls of flesh colored acrylic that you can buy to cover up a nose piercing. They are sometimes made with clear Lucite. You can also cover the piercing with a tiny flat disc that you've painted with skin-tone nail polish. Clear glass and quartz nostril screws are also made to conceal nose rings. The acrylic containers can also be better for people with sensitive skin. Nose piercing retainers are designed to hide the nose piercing completely. It may look like a mole or pimple. Some may even be invisible, though, and, of course, that's the goal. You insert the ball end straight into the piercing, so the clear cone remains on the outside of the piercing. The clear cone will look like a tiny bump on your skin. Some of these retainers are very comfortable. They are also small so you might want to buy a few so if you lose one, you have another back up. You can also find retainers that will work for curved nose studs or nose screws. Some retainers come with a decorative ending that you can use when you are not trying to camouflage the piercing. Wet the piercing with a little bit water. Put your hands into the piercing, and push it up. Do this for a horseshoe piercing that's worn in the septum. Don't do this with a piercing that you just got because it will need to heal. Obviously, you don't want the tucking process with a nose ring, but it does work to conceal the ring in the septum.

article: Take a look around your business for items that you could easily reuse. It is probable that there will be many things, even ones you haven't thought of before. By trying to reuse some of the items that are office necessities, you can become a greener business. Paper is a good place to start. While paper is easy to reuse and recycle, it constitutes about 35 percent of the world's waste. In order to reuse paper, start a scrap bin so that people can use paper scraps rather than grabbing a fresh page each time they need to scribble a quick memo. When possible, use chalkboards or whiteboards instead of poster boards or large sheets of paper during brainstorming sessions with your office. While you will have to purchase chalk and/or dry erase markers, you will save a lot of money by reducing your use of paper. This area is one which will probably be easy for you to improve the greenness of your company. For example, a simple and easy step to becoming greener is to stop supplying paper and plastic dishes and utensils. Purchase glass dishes and real silverware and encourage employees to use them and to clean them after use (and purchase dish soap and cleaning supplies that are biodegradable and free from any harmful chemicals!). Purchase reusable coffee filters and mugs for the morning coffee. Provide each employee with their own mug, and encourage them to keep it at work and use it each day. For catering purposes, if washing up is not an option, choose disposable items made from corn, potatoes or other plant sources that break down in the compost instead of Styrofoam or standard paper plates. If you have a water jug in your workplace, reduce the use of disposable one-time-use cups by providing each employee with a plastic, glass, or stainless steel water bottle. Inspire company pride by getting your company name or logo printed on the bottle. Even if you don't have a water jug, providing these water bottles will encourage your employees to bring less plastic water bottles. Ensure that these bottles are free of BPA and any other harmful chemicals. Designate one area where people can drop off any excess office supplies or old equipment (for example, extra staplers, extra staples, extra pads of post-it notes, extra pens and pencils, etc.). Encourage your employees to donate what they can when they have extra supplies that they don't need, and to browse the supply exchange area before asking for a purchase of new supplies.

article:
If your friend continues to disregard your feelings and speak/act condescendingly towards you, that individual could simply be a bad friend. This isn't necessarily something your friend is aware of or doing intentionally. However, if repeated attempts at talking about the problem haven't fixed things, you may need to walk away. Some signs that your friendship might be toxic include: an imbalance in your friend's willingness to listen to you or hear about your struggles and accomplishments a power dynamic wherein your friend never calls or contacts you, and you are always the one who has to initiate conversations and get-togethers feeling like you have to walk on eggshells to avoid upsetting that friend feeling like your friend puts your emotions through tremendous ups and downs for no real reason Lying or avoiding the issue of your friend's condescending behavior isn't doing that friend any favors. Your friend will probably continue to have those problems with other friends, family members, and perhaps even colleagues. If you've decided to end the friendship, it's important that you do so in person (in a safe, neutral space) and let your friend know why you're ending things. Be honest and direct about what you're doing. Say outright, "I don't think I can be your friend anymore - at least not until you work on this problem." Letting your friend know that the condescending behavior is the problem could potentially leave the door open to a future reunion if your friend works on those issues. . Once you've decided that a friendship is irreparable and you've let your friend know that you're ending the friendship, it's time to actually put your intentions into action. Stop calling or texting your friend, don't engage in conversation, and try to avoid the individual as best you can going forward. You may want to block the person's phone number so that individual can't call or text you. However, if you're hopeful that your friend can change and that you may be able to mend things in the future, you should avoid blocking that person's number. Consider un-friending/unfollowing the individual on social media. It may be difficult, but it will make it easier for you to move on. Don't drag your mutual friends into your problems. Respect the fact that people may still wish to remain friends with the individual, and avoid speaking negatively about that individual to others. Ask mutual friends if the condescending individual will be at social events, and decide whether or not you want to try attending those events.
