Makeup—read if you dare...
Eyeing my career in a world without mascara by Luch Chabot Reed
You don't wear makeup. Big deal, right? You always thought so. Your productive and efficient, your good at what you do. Spending an extra 15 minutes each morning to make your eyes look bigger or put a little life in your lips never seemed all that important.
Recently I asked a girlfriend in public relations, "do you think I am hurting my career by not wearing makeup?" Yes, because in her world of public relations, where professionals are called on to represent companies to clients and the media, image is everything. Even something as simple as leaving off the lipstick means you are too rushed to bother, and it's too much trouble, she said. "No, it's not too much trouble, and if you don't bother with lipstick, it makes people wonder what other details you can't be bothered with".
She recounted stories of qualified, talented women she's known who she would never refer to clients or for business because of their appearance - long unstyled hair, more-casual-than-professional clothes, no makeup. A Wall Street Journal article about how much appearance rated when head-hunters call on women - about 85 percent, on recruiter said - urged "discreet makeup." But none of the tipsters suggested women not wearing makeup at all. It's an unheard-of alternative. "Don't step out of the house without makeup," one site astonished.
A column on BlueSuitMom.com by Sherry Maysonave, and the founder and president of Empowerment Enterprises, a communications image firm. She said that women who wear makeup earn 20 to 30 percent higher incomes. The corporate playing field for women isn't equal. Welcome to our world. I'm a grown-up now. People judge me on my appearance, and in this society, makeup is part of that image. Maysonave wrote that women who wear no makeup or too much makeup communicate low self-esteem. Well that's not me. I went to the store that night and bought a new mascara, powder and lipstick. I came into the office the next morning to compliments on my appearance, despite donning an outfit I'd worn a dozen times before. Within an hour, I'd received a phone call from the Small Business Administration telling me I had won the Small Business Journalist of the Year award for the South Florida district and the
state. Coincidence? Now I'm waiting for my 30 percent raise.

Health, fitness and lifestyle ideas for July
Nutrition
This is an area where most people get into difficulty, but the truth is it is easy to master. Nutrition is basically fuel for your body. The better quality the fuel the better gains from your training. Good quality protein (the building blocks for muscle) from lean meats and supplementing with good quality whey protein powder, all low in fat and taste great, as well as good carbs from grains and vegetables are the basis of a sound nutritional plan. As long as you meet your daily (and per meal) macronutrient requirements and eat a variety of food it makes your nutritional plan a whole lot easier to stick to. Top up with a multivite as insurance.
