A counselor there can help you identify what licenses and permits you need. Find your nearest SBDC at https://www.sba.gov/tools/local-assistance/sbdc.

An LLC will protect you personally from lawsuits, which means someone can't come after your home or car if they get a court judgment against you. However, you'll still want to get general business liability insurance. Consult with an insurance broker to find appropriate policy. If you want to run your business from home, check whether your neighborhood's zoning laws allow it. Stop into the local zoning office and check. You might need a zoning permit.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Avoid being seen. If you see the wolf before it sees you, walk away silently. Stay vigilant. Remember: where there's one wolf, there are likely more wolves around. Wolves sometimes travel alone, but they almost always hunt in packs. Always maintain eye contact, and do not turn your back. If you try to escape, keep the wolves in front of you. If the wolves get behind you, their predatory instincts may kick in. Slowly back away while facing the pack. Wolves are faster than you, especially when you're navigating the woods. Furthermore, running will cause a wolf's prey drive to kick in. If the wolves weren't chasing you before, there's a good chance that they'll start chasing you when you run.

SUMMARY: Avoid areas where wolves have been seen. Back away slowly, if the wolf sees you. Don't run.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: An effective and natural rose water makeup remover will contain some oil. Coconut oil is inexpensive and both the coconut oil and rose water are nourishing for your skin. Rose water can be purchased at an organic food store, such as Whole Foods. Coconut oil is frequently available at most grocery stores. Mix equal parts rose water and coconut oil together. Since coconut oil is solid at room temperature, it can help to warm the coconut oil on the stove first so that it melts. Use a wooden spoon or whisk to mix the ingredients together well. Once you have combined the ingredients, pour the mixture into a jar, such as a Mason or Bell jar. This will make it easy to dip into the mixture with a spoon or your fingers. Coconut oil hardens at room temperature but will melt if you rub it between your fingers and hands. You may need to dig some of the mixture out with a spoon whenever you use it from the jar. To remove makeup from your face, apply the mixture to your fingers or spread it on a cotton pad or ball. Rub the areas that contain makeup, until all of it has been removed. You may need to replace the cotton ball or pad with a fresh one as it gets saturated with makeup.

SUMMARY: Obtain coconut oil and rose water. Combine the ingredients. Pour mixture into a container. Apply to your face.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you were unable to make it to a casting call, you can apply online by sending photos in for consideration. Playboy requires that you send in one headshot and four to six full-length nude photos. These photos don't have to be taken by a professional, but they should be in-focus (no blurry shots ladies!). Half of the shots should be of your frontside, and half of your backside. Make copies of your photos because your photos will not be returned after the application process, whether you get hired or not. The Playboy application requires you to send in a scanned copy of your photo ID proving that you are 18 years of age or old. This is really important because your application won't be accepted without proof of your age (no matter how sexy or well-shot your photos are). You will need all of the normal information (including full name, address, date of birth, and whether or not you are a United States citizen). You will also need physical information. This info includes your present height, weight, bust size, waist size, hip size, hair color, eye color, and ethnic background. If you are enrolled in college, you will also need to write down your major and school activities, as well as your college's name and location. You also have the option to post links to any online presence you might have, including your website, Facebook page, or Twitter ID. When you apply for a model position as a Playmate at Playboy, your application automatically gets sent to other modeling sectors of Playboy. Even if you don't get hired as a Playmate, your application will get reviewed by other sections of the Playboy business, so you still have the potential to be hired as a model. These other modeling opportunities include Cyber Girls, Playboy Special Editions, Playboy Golf, and others. The application can be found here. As stated above, you will need to fill out all of the information, upload your ID proving you are 18 or older, and upload your photos. You will also be required to write your digital signature and check the 'I agree' box stating that you acknowledge the rules and swear everything you wrote down on the application is true. You should hear back from Playboy within four to six weeks. If you have not heard from them around six weeks, it means there isn't a Playmate opening at this time. However, if you do get selected, you will be flown (all expenses paid) to meet with a Playboy photographer for a photo shoot.

SUMMARY:
Take photos for submission. Make a copy of your ID. Have all of your information ready before you apply. Know that there are other modeling opportunities aside from Playmate. Fill out the online application. Know what will happen if you are chosen.
