article: Sunlight and air break down oils over time. Store your oils in bottles made from dark, semi-opaque glass, the size of a small perfume bottle. The small size lets you work with quantities that you can use up before they break down, while minimizing headspace (air inside the bottle) that speeds up decay. Use bottles with a tight cap or cork. You can make a simple body oil with one essential oil and one carrier oil. However, many people prefer to make their own customized mixes. To start with, decide on a "top note" for your perfumed body oil. This is a bright or sharp aroma that will grab your attention when you first smell the mixture, but it will not last long. Examples include peppermint, basil, and most citrus oils. (Be careful: many citrus oils can cause severe burns if applied to skin and exposed to sunlight.) If you need more ideas, smell the oils at a brick-and-mortar essential oils store, or the herbs at a plant nursery or grocery store. Also called the heart note, this oil usually has a full-bodied, complex scent. It lasts one or two hours on a perfume testing strip. You can choose a middle note to serve as the main theme of the scent. Alternatively, pick one that shares elements of the top and base notes, to help the bottle harmonize. Good choices include chamomile, ginger, rose, and many other herbal and flowery scents. For a classic three-note mix, the last essential oil you'll need is the base note. This should last at least a few hours, as its main purpose is to give the blend staying power. Many oils used as base notes are also fixatives, which slow down the rate of evaporation of the other scents. Try deep, strong scents such as vanilla or sandalwood. Once you've made your three choices, put a couple drops of each on a cotton round and waft the scent toward you for a rough test. If you're not a fan, change on of your choices. You must dilute essential oils with a carrier oil before applying them to your skin. Unless you plan to use the body oil quickly, choose one with a long shelf life, such as fractionated coconut oil or canola oil. Also consider whether you prefer a thin or thick oil, and the scent of the oil. Beginners may wish to choose a carrier oil with little to no scent, such as sweet almond oil, so they can focus on combining the three essential oils. You can use oil from a grocery store, or you may prefer to buy a product specifically intended for aromatherapy, and free from additives. These are often referred to as "base oils." Don't confuse them with "base notes." . If you haven't applied one or more of your chosen essential oils to your skin before, conduct a patch test. This is especially important if you are taking medication or if you have known allergies. Use this procedure: Dilute a couple drops of essential oil in carrier oil, to twice the concentration you plan to use (see below for details). Wet the inside of a bandage with the mixture and place on your inner arm. Remove the bandage after 48 hours. If there is any redness or itchiness, do not use that oil.

article: While it's fine to mention your family once and while, it is best to avoid going into too much detail about your personal life. Avoid discussing family issues with your coworkers. If you have a medical issue that could affect your job performance, talk to someone from your human resources department. Similarly, watch how you present yourself on social media. If you're friending people from work, you might want to hide certain posts from them, or better yet, don't post them at all. For instance, if you're going out on a drinking binge, don't post about it on social media. If your coworkers mention wanting to connect with you on social media, direct them to your LinkedIn page. However, remember, that once it's out there, it can be copied and shared by other people, so if you really don't want people to see it, don't post it. Every office has a different culture, including unspoken rules. Some are more relaxed, while others may be more rigid. Watch people closely to pick up on the unspoken rules. For instance, maybe one unspoken rule is that you need to use email if your question can wait a while. If you have piles of papers and coffee cups everywhere, you'll be viewed as unprofessional. However, you can add a few bits of personal charm; just keep it office appropriate. Pictures of your family are fine; pictures of half-naked men or women should stay at home. Pictures that are lewd or offensive are inappropriate for your work space. Keep them at home or only in your private, non-work spaces. The best way to sound professional is to keep the verbal tics out of your speech. One way to do that is to speak more slowly, taking time to think about what you're saying as you say it. If you aren't sure what verbal tics you use, try taking a recording of yourself when you're talking on the phone. You'll be able to notice it better when you play back than you normally do when you're speaking. Try to eliminate the "ums" and "likes."
