Appropriate Attire

Not sure on what to wear to an interview? Well here are a few suggestions.
For the men can we please make sure that we are clean cut, take out the earrings and it is ok to put on a suit and tie. Try to avoid flashy patterns and bright colors. You don’t want the interviewer to be paying more attention to you clothes than to you.
For women let’s make sure that we are not showing too much skin, avoid too much make up or at least use natural colors. Not to much “flashy” jewelry it can be distracting.
In general let’s just make sure that we are “business casual” without over doing it. Oh yeah can we be easy on the perfume and the cologne.

Let's Get Educated

In the 1990 the rate of teen pregnancy was at an all time high. I’m glad to say that it has dropped. More young adults and teenagers have been getting educated on safe sex. Abstinence is the safest way. A sexually active teenager that does not use contraceptive has a 90% chance of getting pregnant within the first year of being sexually active.

Traffic

I hate traffic. Well I'm sure that everybody does. I just don’t understand if we are all going in the same direction what is the hold up? And how come when someone is pulled over or if there is an accident everyone has to slow down and look? I mean what exactly are we looking at or looking for? There wouldn’t be to much that you can do about whatever is going on unless you know the person then I could understand. Can we stop being so nosey and keep the traffic moving please.

Sleep Baby Sleep

I hated it when my baby would stay up at night and I couldn’t get any sleep. After awhile I found some strategies that worked out pretty well. I started doing the same bedtime routine so that my son would know that it was almost bedtime. We would eat dinner, take a bath and I would read bedtime stories. Then I would put a chair on the side of his bed and sit in it so that he would know that I was near but each night I would move the chair further and further out of the room. Now he sleeps like a baby. And so do I.
