Everyone wants to look good, especially when it is the time to party. The idea behind hosting or going to parties is to meet the people you know as well as to make new friends. At the same time, you try to impress others by your dressing sense and looks, along with the way you carry yourself. The self-confidence comes when you know that you are looking perfect, with the right make up and a dazzling ensemble.

* Try doing something different from what is in extreme fashion to avoid being a commoner.
* Feel confident of whatever you get done with yourself and carry it well.


1. Prepare your face for by cleansing, toning and moisturizing.

2. Select a matching shade of foundation. Apply a darker shade on the broader parts of your face which you want to recede.

3. Apply powder and then blush your cheeks, adding color gradually. Use some blusher on the sides of the forehead and chin also.

4. Use an eye shadow kit with a highlighter. Apply some highlighter on the space beneath the brows. Apply the medium color on the upper eye lid only. Sweep the darkest shade on the crease, between the two shades and blend well.

How To Get In The Mood For Exercise

How To Get In The Mood For Exercise

When it comes to taking exercise many people find it hard to keep fit. They think of many reasons or excuses to avoid doing it. The cause of this situation is what psychologists have known for many years and that is people are likely to do things that they know will reward them in some way and do less things that they find uncomfortable.



When people contemplate starting exercise especially, if they are out of shape, is to focus on the effort and the sacrifices they have to make. When you exercise for the first time your body is not going to be use to it. It is going to feel unpleasant and painful. As the body is not use to exercise it will become breathless, muscles will begin to ache and strain. After the exercise the body will be sore for a few days afterwards. When people focus on this it is no wonder that they do not want to start.

The thing to do is to focus on the benefits rather than the pain. This is easier said than done because with exercise you do not see the benefits of exercising straight away as it takes time. Many people have a real problem with the short term costs and long term benefits. With exercise to see and feel the real benefits you have to consistently do it on a regular basis. At the beginning you are more than likely to feel tired and sore. However, after a few weeks the body begins to adapt and gradually you will see and feel benefits coming through. However, many people find that the short term pain is too much of an obstacle for them in the beginning that they just give up. They do not give it the time to experience the benefits.

The way to get around this problem is by planning ahead and introducing a reward system into your exercise program. A popular system is the points system which is easy to implement. All it involves is rewarding yourself with a number of points every time you accomplish an exercise target. For example, if you exercise for 30 minutes each day that is worth ten points. Each of these points goes towards a reward for example, a new outfit you have your heart set on will take 100 points which works out at 10 days exercise. You can even set a deadline to achieve each target to keep you even more motivated.

You can set as many rewards as you want. The point is that you are giving yourself a reward to look forward to. Over time this will become easier to do as you begin to associate doing exercise with getting rewards. You will also find that over time exercise and keeping fit will become a rewarding experience in its own way.

2012 Land Rover Evoque

Here's the production 2012 Range Rover Evoque in all its glory, and the LRX-inspired CUV is lighter, meaner and greener than anything to come from the Range Rover arsenal.

Buyers can opt for three exterior design themes: Pure, a minimalistic take with 19-inch wheels and natural colors complemented by brushed metal trim adorning the insides; Prestige, a "bespoke exterior" treatment with exclusive 19-inch wheels paired "an indulgent interior;" or Dynamic, with 19- or 20-inch wheels a reworked bodykit, and a sportier cabin complete with perforated leather seats and a bit more bling.

Inside, the interior is influenced not only by the Range Rover Sport, but by Jaguar as well. Seriously bolstered seats straddle a center tunnel where a rotary gear transmission selector rises to hand. The four-setting Terrain Response System dial has been replaced with buttons attending an illuminated menu and controls are mainly managed through an eight-inch touchscreen. Aural enjoyment is provided by the 825-watt, 17-speaker Meridian sound system with additional inputs for other peripherals.

Underneath the Evoque's hood is a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that, naturally, is not called EcoBoost. Referred to as the Si4, it's been developed for North American audiences and produces 240 horsepower that runs through a six-speed automatic transmission. Electric power steering is standard, a regenerative electrical system captures energy when things get hauled down and everything is kept on an even keel thanks to a MagneRide adaptive dynamics suspension.

Sales of the LRX start in the fall of 2011, and all the info you could want can be found in the press release after the jump, while dessert is in the gallery of high-res photos below. We'll be getting even closer to it in a week's time at the Paris Motor Show.

Top 7 Critical Business Financing Mistakes

Top 7 Critical Business Financing Mistakes

Avoiding the top 7 business financing mistakes is a key component in business survival.

If you start committing these business financing mistakes too often, you will greatly reduce any chance you have for longer term business success.

The key is to understand the causes and significance of each so that you're in a position to make better decisions.



Business Financing Mistakes (1) - No Monthly Bookkeeping.

Regardless of the size of your business, inaccurate record keeping creates all sorts of issues relating to cash flow, planning, and business decision making.

While everything has a cost, bookkeeping services are dirt cheap compared to most other costs a business will incur.

And once a bookkeeping process gets established, the cost usually goes down or becomes more cost effective as there is no wasted effort in recording all the business activity.

By itself, this one mistake tends to lead to all the others in one way or another and should be avoided at all costs.

Business Financing Mistakes (2) - No Projected Cash Flow.

No meaningful bookkeeping creates a lack of knowing where you've been. No projected cash flow creates a lack of knowing where you're going.

Without keeping score, businesses tend to stray further and further away from their targets and wait for a crisis that forces a change in monthly spending habits.

Even if you have a projected cash flow, it needs to be realistic.

A certain level of conservatism needs to be present, or it will become meaningless in very short order.

Business Financing Mistakes (3) - Inadequate Working Capital

No amount of record keeping will help you if you don't have enough working capital to properly operate the business.

That's why its important to accurately create a cash flow forecast before you even start up, acquire, or expand a business.

Too often the working capital component is completely ignored with the primary focus going towards capital asset investments.

When this happens, the cash flow crunch is usually felt quickly as there is insufficient funds to properly manage through the normal sales cycle.

Business Financing Mistakes (4) - Poor Payment Management.

Unless you have meaningful working capital, forecasting, and bookkeeping in place, you're likely going to have cash management problems.

The result is the need to stretch out and defer payments that have come due.

This can be the very edge of the slippery slope.

I mean, if you don't find out what's causing the cash flow problem in the first place, stretching out payments may only help you dig a deeper hole.

The primary targets are government remittances, trade payables, and credit card payments.

Business Financing Mistakes (5) - Poor Credit Management

There can be severe credit consequences to deferring payments for both short periods of time and indefinite periods of time.

First, late payments of credit cards are probably the most common ways in which both businesses and individuals destroy their credit.

Second, NSF checks are also recorded through business credit reports and are another form of black mark.

Third, if you put off a payment too long, a creditor could file a judgement against you further damaging your credit.

Fourth, when you apply for future credit, being behind with government payments can result in an automatic turndown by many lenders.

It gets worse.

Each time you apply for credit, credit inquiries are listed on your credit report.

This can cause two additional problems.

First, multiple inquiries can reduce you overall credit rating or score.

Second, lenders tend to be less willing to grant credit to a business that has a multitude of inquiries on its credit report.

If you do get into situations where you're short cash for a finite period of time, make sure you proactively discuss the situation with your creditors and negotiate repayment arrangements that you can both live with and that won't jeopardize your credit.

Business Financing Mistakes (6) - No Recorded Profitability

For startups, the most important thing you can do from a financing point of view is get profitable as fast as possible.

Most lenders must see at least one year of profitable financial statements before they will consider lending funds based on the strength of the business.

Before short term profitability is demonstrated, business financing is based primary on personal credit and net worth.

For existing businesses, historical results need to show profitability to acquire additional capital.

The measurement of this ability to repay is based on the net income recorded for the business by a third party accredited accountant.

In many cases, businesses work with their accountants to reduce business tax as much as possible but also destroy or restrict their ability to borrow in the process when the business net income is insufficient to service any additional debt.

Business Financing Mistakes (7) - No Financing Strategy

A proper financing strategy creates 1) the financing required to support the present and future cash flows of the business, 2) the debt repayment schedule that the cash flow can service, and 3) the contingency funding necessary to address unplanned or unique business needs.

This sounds good in principle, but does not tend to be well practiced.

Why?

Because financing is largely an unplanned and after the fact event.

It seems once everything else is figured out, then a business will try to locate financing.

There are many reasons for this including: entrepreneurs are more marketing oriented, people believe financing is easy to secure when they need it, the short term impact of putting off financial issues are not as immediate as other things, and so on.

Regardless of the reason, the lack of a workable financing strategy is indeed a mistake.

However, a meaningful financing strategy is not likely to exist if one or more of the other 6 mistakes are present.

This reinforces the point that all mistakes listed are intertwined and when more than one is made, the effect of the negative result can become compounded.

Online Auctions Can Aid In Making Money

Online Auctions Can Aid In Making Money

My family have been auctioneers for at least three generations. I grew up with the noise, the excitement, the hustle, and the bustle of live auctions. It was a part of life for me ? almost a way of life. My dad was a shrewd, fast talker, and an even faster thinker. He was a consummate businessman, knowing the ins and outs of every form of wheeling and dealing. Although business is still good, it has been slowly waning in the last few years. Online auctions have changed everything, and auction callers who aren't getting in and taking a piece of it are going to lose their livelihood within a generation or so. Fortunately, my family is smarter than that.



As a matter of fact, we have been in the game almost since the origin of the eBay. Ebay seems to have started the whole thing. I'm not sure if there were online government auctions before them, but if there were, no one was paying much attention to them. Nowadays, however, almost everyone is selling things online. People buy online through eBay, through Amazon, through government websites, and of course, through storefront software run by many different private businesses.

The online auction sites, however, are by far the most exciting. The great thing about online auctions is there is so much business being done at once. Whether you are a buyer or seller, this can be a great advantage. For those of us who run eBay auctions, the number of buyers means that, even if we're selling something pretty obscure, it is only a matter of time until someone comes by to check it out. For buyers, online auctions are great for many reasons. First of all, if you are a smart buyer, you will be able to find someone selling what you want for well below the value. There are just so many sales going on that it is possible to find almost anything for cheap. The other reason online auctions are great for buyers is because there are so many varied and obscure goods available. Things that would take you years to find in antique stores, you can dig out of eBay almost overnight.

If standard, run-of-the-mill auctions ever go the way of the dinosaurs, I will definitely miss them. You just can't beat the excitement and the rush of adrenaline that you get. Nonetheless, I can't complain about the online auctions. If you buy and sell antiques, it is easier than ever before to make money.
