Problem: Article: When you're obedient in following the mandates of your faith it means that you're also being humble. You accept that your god is helping to direct your life and that you accept both the good and the bad that comes. Try to avoid taking ownership of the things that happen in your life. When something good happens, remind yourself that it was through the grace of your Great Teacher. If something unhappy happens it is a learning experience brought about by Him or Her, too. Most faiths and religions have specific rules and regulations that a practitioner is required to follow. Committing to your faith means giving up control of your life (not in a bad way) and understanding that what happens is coming from your Holy Teacher. Again, because of the rules and regulations in different faiths there are going to be certain choices that will be difficult, because they will make you choose between a life that might be materially easier, but not spiritually acceptable. Obedience to your faith means choosing the latter path. For example: such a choice could be sacrificing your career path, because it doesn't align with your beliefs. It could also be something like taking significant time out of your day to incorporate prayer. Obedience to your faith is a personal thing. It means that you are in connection with your god and your faith and that can be wonderful. It does not mean that you have carte blanche to criticize other people's beliefs or infringe on their way of living.
Summary: Cultivate humility. Commit to your faith. Make choices in line with your faith. Avoid judging other people based on their beliefs and obedience.

Problem: Article: Your skin might change as the seasons go by. For example, it might be more dry in the winter and more oily during the summer. As such, the face cream that you use in the winter might not be suitable during the summer. It might be a good idea to switch your face creams out with the seasons. If your skin is dry, especially during the winter, opt for a richer, moisturizing face cream. If your skin is oily, especially during the summer, opt for a light-weight face cream or moisturizing gel. This is great for those who wish to even out their skin tone but don't want to wear makeup. Choose a moisturizer that matches your skin type and skin tone. Most tinted moisturizers come in three basic skin tones: light, medium, and dark. Some companies might offer a wider range of skin tones. If you tend to have oily skin, consider getting a tinted moisturizer with a matte finish. If you tend to have dull or dry skin, consider getting a tinted moisturizer with a dewy or luminizing finish. This is also great for giving any skin type that healthy glow during the winter months. Sunlight provides lots of vitamin D, which is essential for skin health; however, too much sunlight can also cause wrinkles and other skin damage. Protect your skin by wearing a face cream with some SPF in it. You will not only be moisturizing your skin, but protecting it from the sun's harmful rays as well. If you have oily skin or acne, you might still want to use some sort of face cream or moisturizer. If your skin becomes too dry, it will produce even more oil. A face cream will keep this from happening. Here are some things you should look for: Look for face creams that say they are meant for oily skin (or acne) on the label. Opt for a light-weight, moisturizing gel instead. Consider getting a matte-finish cream. It will help reduce shine and make your skin appear less oily. Look for products that say they are intended for dry skin. If you can't find any, then look for labels that say "hydrating" or "moisturizing." Read the labels carefully, and avoid buying anything that has too many chemicals; many of these chemicals can be problematic for sensitive skin types. Consider instead creams that have soothing ingredients, such as aloe or calendula.
Summary: Pay attention to the season. Consider using a tinted moisturizer. Consider getting a face cream with SPF. Know that even oily skin needs face cream. Choose rich, hydrating creams if you have dry skin. Look for gentle creams if you have sensitive skin.

Problem: Article: Many people get tattoos that have some form of significance or symbolic meaning. Ask your partner what their tattoo represents. This may help you understand the tattoo better and come to terms with it. For example, a tattoo of a name, initials, or a date may symbolize the death of a family member or close friend. Alternatively, the tattoo could symbolize a hobby or passion. For example, of a tree may symbolize a passion for the outdoors. Some tattoos are also meant as a form of motivation. For instance, they provide something to look at on a bad day to give inspiration. Certain events, such as a major birthday, a new job, the completion of a degree, or the birth of a child, could motivate an individual to get a tattoo. In these cases the tattoo is meant to commemorate or celebrate a certain occasion. You may be more inclined to accept the tattoo despite the fact that you don't like it, if you realize that a major event motivated your partner to get the tattoo. When your partner is explaining the origins of their tattoo, it is important that you actively listen to them. This will demonstrate that you care about what they are saying and are interested in learning about their tattoo. This will also help you and your partner have a constructive conversation about the tattoo, rather than just getting into an argument. Lean in to the conversation, make eye contact, and nod occasionally to demonstrate that you are listening. Ask follow up questions to show that you are engaged in the conversation. Your partner may not have a "good" reason (in your opinion) for getting a tattoo, but they may feel as though their reason for getting the tattoo was a good one. Even after they have explained the tattoo, you may continue to disagree with the decision. Try and accept the fact that maybe your partner just wanted a tattoo and likes the concept of body art. It is important to respect your partner's decisions about how they want their body to look. Remember that a tattoo may change your partner's appearance slightly, but it will not change the bond that you share with your partner.
Summary:
Ask your partner the significance of the tattoo. Find out what motivated them to get a tattoo. Listen to your partner. Accept that they may not have a "good" reason.
