Mommy, Make it Better

Those with oily skin are usually the ones who have problems with pimples. I know how that is, I have never really been able to get rid of my oily skin, but at least I have been able to control it.

Some OTC acne medicine can lessen the production of oil on the face, but they can rob your face of much-needed moisture as well.

You can try a natural mask to take control of your oily skin. It’s not only natural, it’s yummy, too.

So you want to work from home? Good for you then. There are a lot of pros in starting a home-based business. You are your own boss, your time is yours, you can work in your jammies, you can be with your family all day.

But it’s not all good stuff. When you have a home-based business, you are always on call. Unlike a 9 to 5 job, you can just leave work for the day and forget about it until you come back the next morning. Sometimes, too, you have to sacrifice some time with your family. Sure you’re around the house, but sometimes you will be too busy to even watch TV together with your kids.

Having a home-based business can be rewarding, as long as you are able to balance your work and your personal life.

People have different ways of encouraging oneself, of pushing oneself farther, of dealing with pain and disappointment. Some people do what they love to do, what they’re good at. Others try new things. Some give themselves a to-do list, while some remind themselves of joys, previous achievements.

Sometimes, when I need to push myself a bit farther, I do a little positive self talk. The following are the things I tell myself at times.

• You don’t need the help of a cosmetic surgeon. You need to eat right, keep it in and NOT barf, and keep yourself moving. Maybe some jenny craig and Lucy Knight workout DVDs can help, too.
• There are many things you can do well. Sure, you suck at taking pictures. But you don’t need to always see yourself fail at it just because you want to please someone. Do the things that you do well – the things you love.
• You’re a mom. Act like one.
• You don’t have to be everything. Just yourself.
• People depend on you, so get yourself together.
• Smile. In spite of everything, the one you love, loves you right back.
