Dealing with acne can be embarassing at any age. Luckily, there are
a number of things you can do everyday to make sure your skin is less
prone to flare ups. Here are five tips for taking control of your
acne starting today.

1. Exercise - Keeping in shape can help fight acne by fighting off
negative stress levels that can come from negative self-esteem and
depression. However, some safeguards need to be in place to ward off
acne that can result from your workout routines. Watch what you put
on your body with regards to clothing, sports gear and equipment.

For example, tight lycra and nylon exercise outfits might look
great in the movies and on magazine models, but if you are
susceptible to acne problems, avoid these synthetic fabrics that tend
to trap in body moisture and heat resulting in a bacteria frenzy.
Instead, choose loose clothing made of cotton or natural blends to
allow more air to get to your skin.

And when you are finished with your workout, get out of clothing wet
from perspiration or water sports. Shower and change into dry, clean
clothing. And keep your sports gear and equipment clean, too. Dirty
headgear, for instance, can irritate forehead areas prone to acne
problems. So toss headbands into the washing machine after workout
sessions.

2. Cosmetics - To avoid pore-clogging and skin irritations that are
similar to acne and that can contribute to acne, use products labeled
noncomedogenic or oil-free. Shimmering facial colors can contain a
flaky mineral called mica that can cause skin irritations and clog
pores. Other additives in coloring that can cause similar reactions
are coal tar derivatives, carmine and heavy cream in blushes.

More preventative measures include using a lip gloss that promotes a
matte finish instead of a high gloss for less pore-clogging; note the
more the shine, the more then comedogenic content and the more the
pores can clog. Beware that eye creams can contain heavier
concentrations of moisturizers than regular creams and lotions,
meaning they have greater potential to clog pores in the surrounding
facial areas.

3. Diet - Studies show that diet does not play a role in either the
cause or the treatment of acne. However, what is recommended for acne
preventative care is this: what is best for your body is best for
your skin, especially since your skin is the largest organ of your
body. So remember to watch your diet and consume healthy vitamins,
minerals and other supplements. This will help to prevent and help
conquer acne breakout.

4. Hygiene - A healthy skin regimen should include no harsh
scrubbing or over-washing, because this can cause possible skin
irritation or possible over production of oil to replace what has
washed off, clogging pores in the process. Products with gentle
exfoliation ingredients are OK to use; i.e. not scratchy nut or fruit
shell pieces that can tear skin. And skip alcohol products when
possible; these can take off the top layer of your skin and cause
your glands to product more oil, clogging pores in the process.

If you do spot acne-troubled areas, do NOT mess with them. Remember
that these are already weeks in the making, and squeezing or picking
blemishes can force the infected area to regress back inside, further
troubling the region and possibly leave a scar. If necessary, seek
help from a dermatologist for alternative treatments.

5. Shaving - Shaving for both genders is actually an excellent way
of exfoliating or removing dead skin to help with the prevention and
spreading of acne instead of leaving the remains to clog pores. And
for some light acne cases already in process, shaving can help rid
whiteheads and blackheads from the face. A word of caution: for areas
with infection or high inflammatory activity (redness, sensitive,
open acne, sores, etc.), do not shave. Or at the very least, use a
shaving cream for sensitive skin!

Having Acne is no fun. Actually it affects more than 70 % of the teens today. Many who have acne feel as social outcasts, are ashamed of their looks and often go into a deep depression. People affected by acne have the same thought on their mind everyday:

"How to Get Rid of Acne Forever?"

Unfortunately there are still some myths associated with how to treat acne:

Myth Number 1:

"Drinking a Lot of Water Will Kill Acne."

It's true that if the skin becomes dehydrated, dead skin cells are not effectively shed, which can lead to blocked pores and further acne. But water alone cannot help to get rid of acne. The cause of acne is the overproduction of sebum which leads to oily skin which in turn draws bacteria (Propionibacterium acne) responsible in causing acne to develop. If you drink about 1,5 - 2 liters of water every day, you'll be fine, but it won't trigger the acne to disappear.

Myth Number 2:

"Eating Chocolate Will Cause Acne."

This belief is simply wrong. Again, acne is not caused by any specific food like chocolate, French fries, candy, soda or potato chips, but by the excess of skin oil (sebum) and the acne-causing bacteria. And those are not triggered by the foods you eat as scientific research has shown: Greasy food like chocolate will not cause your skin to produce more oil. The important factors that play a role here are: 1) Hormonal changes within the body and 2) The predisposition toward oily skin.

Myth Number 3:

"Acne isn't curable. If you're lucky, you might get rid of it."

That's definitely a myth. You don't have to live your whole life with acne, not even your teenage years! Taking care of your skin and using the right products will reduce or even help to get rid of acne completely. Actually, there is one product that was voted as one of the best to treat acne (and it's FREE!):

P.S. Did you know that too much washing can cause even more pimples?

The first thing that surprises many people about flood insurance is that everybody is actually considered to live in a flood zone according to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) - its simply a question of whether you are at low, moderate or high risk of flooding. Obviously some people, depending on where they live, are at greater risk than others.

And another surprise is that even people who live in areas not particularly prone to floods may be at risk from flooding - around 30% of claims for flood damage come from areas that are considered low to moderate risk. And during a 30 year mortgage, a typical home has about a 25% chance of being damaged by a flood.

Many homeowners are also surprised to learn that flood insurance is not included under their regular homeowner's insurance policy or renter's policy. And a surprising statistic is that in general, you are 30 times more likely to lose your home to a flood than a fire. Every year around $2.4 billion is paid out in insurance claims for flood damage or losses.

A flood can mean any kind of water damage or damage from mud, poor drainage or seepage. Much flooding is caused by winter storms, melting snow and hurricanes - things which many people tend to overlook. Just an inch of water can potentially cause costly property damage and a car can be swept away in just two feet of water.

Because most policies don't cover flood damage, Congress established the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in 1968. This program allows people who may be at risk from flooding to purchase adequate insurance - even after the flood or water damage has occurred.

Several companies offer flood insurance - always make sure the company you choose is backed by the NFIP. This ensures you will be adequately protected in the case of flood damage. This is one type of insurance you shouldn't take out at the last minute - one disadvantage with the program is that after you have taken out flood insurance, there is a 30 day waiting period before any coverage takes effect.

As with other products and services, always shop around when comparing policies. The internet has made it just as easy to compare prices on line as it is to call around the various companies. Around 5 million people in the United States have some form of flood insurance and the average monthly premium is around $350 per year.

Take into account the amount of coverage you will receive in the event of a flood, as well as the amount of the monthly premiums. Make sure that there are no exclusions to the policy that may affect you. And make sure your insurance company can easily be contacted if and when you need them.

Most flood insurance policies will cover the costs of replacing or repairing both property and goods in the event of any damage. Contents can include furniture, clothes, rugs and carpets and other possessions - even the food in your freezer.

Contents and buildings both generally have separate deductibles (the amount you must pay before the insurance covers the costs) - so if both your property and contents are damaged by flooding, you will have to pay both deductibles.

So even though you may not obviously live in a high risk flood area, consider taking out flood insurance. Like most insurance, you hope to never use it - but it's comforting to know it is there.

Many people do not fully understand that even though they are perfectly healthy, they still need health coverage. Accidents happen and they cannot be planned for. If you are involved in an accident and have to go to the emergency room you are going to run up quite a tab before you are done. Having health insurance will give you the peace of mind to and leave you stress free in this situation. There are options for low income health insurance as well and here are just a few.

With health insurance you will be protected from diseases, infections, sickness, and from accidents. You will be able to see your doctor before certain health concerns arise and be treated early enough to make sure that you stay healthy. The cost of all of this would make just about any normal family go broke if they did not have health coverage.

The cost of prescriptions have risen, but there are some pharmacies that offer programs for those that do not make a lot of money, to get prescriptions for very cheap. Check with your pharmacy to see if the offer such a program and if so, ask for an application. If you fall into the low income bracket, then you also need to check with your local and state organizations because they often have programs to help low income families with prescriptions and health coverage.

You will have to submit an application to most of the state aid organizations so that they will be aware of your financial situation. There are a lot of people that would never think they would qualify for such programs, but there are many individuals that will qualify. This can give you what you need to live a stress free life, at least when it comes to your health and the health of your family.

There are also many sites on the internet that offer low income health insurance policies. You can search around and compare the rates to see what is out there and what you might qualify for. The last option would be to check with your local Catholic church because they often offer some type of help when it comes to medical expenses and health coverage.

Home protection has become something that every homeowner has to consider because no matter how safe a neighborhood is today there is still the chance that a home can be broken into.

While it is common sense for a homeowner to have a home security system there are also other things they can do to help protect their home, simple tips that will help to ensure that a burglar will pass by their home because it is not inviting to venerability.

Things that can be done by the homeowner to protect their home and property are easy, they are immediate and if a homeowner chooses they can take more drastic steps to ensure their home and family are safe.

• Cut low hanging trees and shrubs that are close to the home, this can be done in a tasteful manner that will also increase the property value.
• Install dusk to dawn lighting at vantage points that will light the entryways to the home, there is no reason for this lighting to appear what it is many homes have lighting that while it will keep unwanted intruders away it will also illuminate plants and trees to show of landscaping around the home.
• Place the ADT signs and stickers so that anyone considering breaking into your home will spot them and keep going this can be done tastefully and still be effective.
• Motion detectors that do not go off when pets are around the home are also an option that many homeowners consider; anyone who has a car alarm will realize the importance of having motion detectors that will not go off when a dog or cat walks around. An alarm that goes off often is becomes a bother and people tend not to pay attention to them.
• The addition of home security cameras will also help to make a family feel more secure. They can also be used incase a burglar was to break into a home by the authorities.

These are just a few steps that can be taken and ones that will help to deter a criminal who is considering your home for their next break-in.

In many cases it will also increase the value of the home and that is something that every homeowner takes into consideration when they make any updates or landscaping to their property.

Many of these steps can also be done quickly and at a cost that is reasonable while adding protection to the home, property and family.

The first thing you need to do is carefully choose the niche that you are going to target in your quest to make easy money online.This can be anything you like but it helps if the niche is something that you are really interested in,something that you are very knowledgable about.This will be an advantage later, when you are writing articles about your niche.

Next,you need to select the keywords that you will be using for the blog that you are going to create and for the articles that you are going to write.I use the free keyword suggestion tool at www.digitalpoint.com.The tool is free to use but to keep it free you are asked to make a donation to help with the upkeep of the site, this is optional.Type your kewords into the search box and the results shown are for daily searches on the Yahoo search engine for the keywords that you have typed in.You will also get results for variations of your keywords.

As a rule of thumb,multiplying the result of your keyword search by eight gives you the Google search engine result for your keywords .I generally use keywords for my niche that have been searched for at between 800 to 1600 times per day.This is because when the selected keywords are used there wont be a lot of competition and I can be confident that I will end up on the first page of the Google search engine results for my selected keywords.

When you have your keywords it is time to create your make easy money online blog. I use Blogger.com for my blogs purely because it costs nothing.The blogs are very simple to set up,there aren't any hosting costs and there aren't any domain name costs.

Make sure you use your keywords in the title of your blog and also try to use them in the introduction to your blog,this helps the search engines to find your blog.Write a post about your niche for your blog and when you are happy with the layout etc. publish the blog.

Now you need to go to Clickbank.com and sign up for their program if you are not already a member,this is free.Search the Clickbank Marketplace for products related to your niche.Select two or three products to promote on your blog.You can select products with up to 75% commission,this what you will receive if someone buys the product through the link that you receive from Clickbank.You will receive a seperate link for each selected product to put on your blog,this is called an affiliate link.The affiliate link can be put anywhere on the blog for example, in your review ,at the bottom of your reveiw or in its own box at either side of the blog.I find that it helps to purchase the products that I am promoting then I can write an honest review about them.This is not compulsory but I like to do it that way.

When you are happy with the layout of the blog and the reviews that you have produced for each product, you now have to promote it and start to make easy money online.

There are quite a few ways to do this,most of them cost money.I do not use the methods that cost money because I think the best method and the one that I have had the most success with, is article writing.

You have to write, write, write and write again to drive traffic to your blog!This is why it is best to choose a niche that you are interested in and knowledgable about.You need to write articles about your niche,submitting your articles to article directories putting a link to your blog in the resource box.The article directory that I have had most success withis EzineArticles.com but there are hundreds to choose from.These articles,after a few days, will show up on the first page of the Google search engine results for your keywords along with the link to your blog.People interested in your niche will click on the link,find the reviews about the affiliate products,click on the links,purchase the product,giving you a commission!

Yesterday, I was chatting with one of my friend on MSN, and she asked me this question, "How To Make Money On The Internet?". I went to ask her if she have been reading my blog posts and she said, "YES!"

After the conversation, it really gives me a good insights on how much she understands about how to make money on the internet after reading my blog post...

I got to tell you upfront that she have no idea on how to do it, even though she's from the IT industry.

After chatting with her for about 30 minutes and asking some questions, I realize where she's stuck.

With that, I want to talk a bit more about that today.

Today, you might be like her... knowing the power of the internet, wanting to earn an extra US$1,000 - US$2,000 part-time income, or you are looking for multiple stream of income,

Or most importantly, you wanted to build a part-time business, or passive income or even retirement fund.

Whatever it is, I believe that the internet is able to do all that. I personally have benefited a lot from selling my products, informations through the internet.

I benefit not only from the financial point of view, but also having fun and the challenges of doing it at the same time.

But, one thing I realize I get a lot of question is, "What Can I Sell Online?" or "How To Make Money On The Internet?"

Some of you might even say, "I know a bit here and there, but I still cannot grasp how this whole puzzle piece together"

Relax! I'm at your position like only 24 months ago. So, I know what you are feeling and going through.

I believe the question you should ask is, "How Can I Make Money On The Internet Using My Strength?"

Today, you want to make money on the internet using your strength. Why?

Because usually your strength would means your passion in having that knowledge or skills. And still remember I talked a lot of knowing your passion and work on your passion...

That's important!

So, I want you to do this exercise. Take a piece of A4 paper, and a few color marker pens, and of course yourself, in a quiet room.

Put the A4 paper in landscape format, and draw a circle in the center.

And in the circle, write, "What Do I know About?"

So, your entire exercise is to draw the main branches of it, for example, Design, Marketing, Dog Training, and etc.

Then, in each of the main branch, you'll start thinking of...

For example in Design, ask yourself, "What Do I know About Design?"

With that, you can start creating the sub-branches.

Once you are done, you should have something like this...

That's something quick that I specially created in order to show you what I mean in the post. I always believe a picture speak a thousand words.

This only took me about 5 minutes to do it. So, I believe you can do it too.

** IMPORTANT:

When you are doing this exercise, make sure you are in a positive, upbeat and high energy mood. Why?

Because you want to feel good about yourself, and not feel lousy.

Only by feeling good, you can think of more things that you know that you know about. Be confidence about yourself. That's important!

Ok, give it a shot!

I'm sure after working on this exercise, you'll have a better understanding about your strengths, and about yourself. And tomorrow, I will talk about how you can use this piece of information.

So, make sure you do it!

Home insurance, also commonly called hazard insurance or homeowners insurance (often abbreviated in the real estate industry as HOI), is the type of property insurance that covers private homes. The home insurance policy is usually a term contract-a contract that is in effect for a fixed period of time. Perpetual insurance, which is a type of home insurance without a fixed term, can also be obtained in certain areas. After the sizable investment you have made in buying your home, furnishing and decorating it, you can insure yourself against risks with a home insurance policy. Your home insurance safeguards your most prized belongings: your home, your personal things and even your financial future.

Types of Cover
The buildings insurance covers your home's bricks and mortar, that is the home itself. Contents insurance covers your possessions inside your home, for example furnishings. Often specialist insurers are able to offer better cover or cheaper premiums than that provided by the banks and building societies as 'default' options attached to mortgages. The contents of your home are also covered against loss due to burglary or an attempted burglary. Your contents cover will be based on their value and although there will be a minimum recommended figure, based on your details, you may wish to increase it.

Getting a Quote
The first port of call should be your existing insurer; after all if it can beat or even match the best quote it saves the hassle of switching policy. Also check consumer guides, insurance agents, companies and online insurance quote services. When you've narrowed the field to three insurers, get price quotes. You should get as a minimum, three price quotes.

Getting a Discount
Most companies offer attractive discounts. Improve your home security and you can usually get discounts of at least 5 percent for a smoke detector, burglar alarm or dead-bolt locks. Insurers provide discounts to reward behaviour that reduces risk. Online internet comparison sites can provide a quick reference point for getting your discounted quote. But beware!! Many comparison sites do not use all available insurers so make sure you try several sites. Although you want to lower your homeowners insurance cost, you also want to make certain you have all the coverage you need.

In Conclusion
Whether you make your home in a house, a condo, or a rental unit, the best way to protect it, your things and your liability is to purchase home insurance.
