    When you are out of money, you have to get a job or 
    simply marry a rich spouse and live happily ever after in 
    your wonderland world. 
    Generally speaking, it does not matter whether it is a 
    full-time job or […]

    • Good interview tips. Besides … the thing with marrying a rich spouse is that riches are not guaranteed and also your marriage isn’t guaranteed. Your rich spouse might find “greener pastures” and leave you in a heartbeat! It’s best you learn how to take care of yourself.

    • Very good and interesting piece on attending job interviews. I love the part that says ” Do your homework on this information so that it may be

      useful to you when you stumble upon hard core questions

      that your interviewer deliberately asked.

      This is to ensure that you have the knowledge and ability

      to handle difficult situation that props out in critical

      problems.” i think the most important thing is just to be yourself and tackle every question as it comes. job interview are really sweet and interesting when one fully prepares for it

    • Very interesting and helpful tips about how to pass the employment interview. Uphold the the good work. Keep on posting relative topics which is beneficial for all.

    • such things are good to know. I remember I had about 3 job interviews that I failed and I got out so disappointed of it. it’s true at the same time that I didn’t go too well prepaired

    • I remember three things that had worked me well when I applied for a job for the first time. my potential, my willingness and my openness to accept the unexpected. Since it was the first time for me to look for a job, I was, of course nervous. I didn’t know what to do in case my prospective employer thru their manager would interview me. I just prepared myself with a prayerful attitude that God knows what is best for me.

      It was my turned to get inside the manager’s office of the bank. What should I tell the manager of my experience since I just graduated from my commerce course, except for the apprenticeship I have had with the cooperating bank of the college which I studied. I handed in my letter of application to the manager. He took a short glimpse of it and put it down on his table. I thought why he didn’t read it a bit. He asked me the first question: “Why should the bank hire you?” With confidence, I rehearsed what I had learned from my bank apprenticeship. When I was done I looked straight to his eye.

      He asked the second question: “Are you married?” I answered him straight yes. No explanation. No elaboration. Then he threw a follow-up question: “Would you do if you are working when your wife gets sick and you’ve an important job to finish? Whom would you prefer to do?” I firmly replied that I would have to attend to my wife who is sick. My wife is my priority for she’s sick. She’s the reason why I should work.

      Third and last question: “What should you do when the company fire you?” I would accept it. I know that the company where I am working knows what is best. Therefore, if I deserve it or not, I have to accept me. I know there is still God who finds what is best for me. The manager stood up, shook my hands. He told me to start on Monday for I was hired.

    • Thanks for sharing, although I might not need these advice for the time being. Anyway, they are really useful for those school leavers, fresh graduates.
      According to my observation and experience, attitude is every thing. There are many newbie whom have bad working habits and attitudes.

      Take an example, they won’t call up and inform the human resource department if they are sick on a particular day, only when the human resource folks called them up only they will tell and request for a medical leave. It is really terrible.

    • All the above tips ar3 good for anyone who is planning to go for an interview. Many people oftenly assume or don’t take interviews as serious business. You would find others going here in tight fitting clothes, or maybe wear something revealing, and this can be very devastating for the person being interviewed. Others may think when you wear revealing clothes you will get favor from the but boss but that doesn’t work at all it instead works against you. Always be straight with your answers dont beat about the bush, say it like it is. Always wait to be asked to sit down don’t badge into the office and take a seat wait until you are asked to sit down. Actually it’s really all about ettiqute that’s all.

    Stress, is something that no one would like to encounter 
    everyday.
    It is not 100% a disease but a common problem that 
    emotional feelings and worries that are kept inside had 
    affected a person’s health, physi […]

    • Number 3 is hard for me because I love coffee! 🙂

    • For me, one of the easiest way to release stress is laughter. Not only it is good for your health and body but it also relieve all the physical tension and stress in your daily lives, leaving your muscle relaxes in a certain period of time. It is easy, effective, natural, enjoyable to laugh. Worry Less. Be positive. Don’t cling on a negative side. Have a grateful life with full of laughter.

    • These are very good tips. I try to do something in the quiet almost every day, like coloring or my paint by number. Or I might play a little background music, because music destresses me, too. As for dark chocolate, I love that so I’ll treat myself anytime!

    • Everyone has his/ her own stress. We might have a wrong perception that only those working people facing stress which from their work. For those not working, might face the stress from the other aspects of life, like house maker might not have enough time to fetch children to school, cook, and her/his own leisure time.
      Thus, how to handle stress is really important to make a happier life. To me, a cup of coffee is a must to make up my day. Hehe!
      On the other hand, exercise is very important to kick away the stress.

    • Also, go to sleep. It doesn’t matter how soon your deadline is; you will slow down if you’re too sleepy. People usually forgo sleep in order to get more time, which is good when the deadline is tomorrow morning. But a good rest will go a long way. There are even psychological research studies on sleep and napping wherein their conclusions show that people have increased memory and spatial abilities.

    • Firstly, let’s debunk one myth: stress is not necessarily a ‘bad’ thing. Without this brilliant ability to feel stress, humankind wouldn’t have survived. Our cavemen ancestors, for example, used the onset of stress to alert them to a potential danger, such as a sabre-toothed tiger.

      Stress is primarily a physical response. When stressed, the body thinks it is under attack and switches to ‘fight or flight’ mode, releasing a complex mix of hormones and chemicals such as adrenaline, cortisol and norepinephrine to prepare the body for physical action. This causes a number of reactions, from blood being diverted to muscles to shutting down unnecessary bodily functions such as digestion.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Dilemma of Stay At Home Mom 8 years, 2 months ago

    I often used to think about it.

    Did I made the right or wrong decision to resign from my full-time job with a decent monthly salary to a Stay at Home Mom for good?

    In our modern techno society, most women ( […]

    • “A wise woman builds her home.” Whatever is included in that process, i.e. building your home … be is deciding to stay at home, working a job outside the home, etc. … if you goal is to build your home and have a wonderful family life, your heart is in the right place. For most women, if their heart is in the right place, their family knows that and will help them make a happy home. Do what works for you and your family. Don’t let other people tell you what you’re supposed to do IN YOUR HOUSE. Because if you follow their advice and your home life gets damaged, they’re not going to offer any help fixing it back! They’ll walk off and leave you with the mess that they helped create!

    • A stay at home mum has too many things to think about and also take care of. Many women opt to work because the work of a work at home mum is quite hard it’s not as easy as it may sound of seem. Taking care of children is the hardest job ever that women have to face whether they are working other jobs or not. It entails so much the waking up early, doing laundry cooking an the like. Many women would like to take the time to stay home and take care of their children for free that their children may not fall into temptation of misbehave. I may agree to the idea of staying home but at times a woman just needs her freedom sometimes and not depend her husband for everything. That’s why some of them just want to have a job of their own.

    • As I have said in my many articles that woman means construction and man means destruction. All women must build their homes for their children as you see that a male sparrow builds home first before choosing the female sparrow I saw in The National Geographic Channel. Looking at the scene I wondered really how the male sparrow trapped a female sparrow and after mating the male flew in search of fod.

      And that child needs his own house. He has his own needs that are not personal. Or professional. And these needs become priority because he/she is too small to build his/her own house. We pull more blocks from our various houses. Relationships change. Career goals change. Our personal house falls to the side.

      I have had a hard time finding my own little house… The one I started with. The one I have always told others to maintain. The one that belonged SOLELY to me. The one that had nothing to do with my marriage, career, children…

      I thought of all the women — all the mothers, who some days find themselves resenting the other houses… and all of the bricks they had to pull from their own roofs to build new, structurally sound homes for spouses, and jobs and children

    • Garlic and onions are the heart of most tasty cuisines and dishes around the world.

      Off the top of my head, the only dishes I can think to make that don’t involve garlic or onions are suitable mostly for kids: scrambled eggs, French fries, and grilled cheese sandwiches, or a nice pan-fried salted steak. And while all of those items are delicious, you can’t eat them night after night.

      Never fear: the rich flavors of garlic and onions can be duplicated or mimicked with the careful and clever use of other vegetables, herbs, and cooking ingredients, once you know where to look.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Tips for Healthy Body 8 years, 2 months ago

    Our body is alike a machine.

    You will need to maintain your body well in order to live well and age well.

    A human body that is nurtured, protected and used properly, it will function efficiently alike a […]

    • To keep body healthy is not easy in this modern age where every one is running after money. Happy are those who pay attention to their health. Our life is a simple biological cycle which depends on what we eat to survive.

      A strong mind and healthy body makes a complete person. Our health can be easily maintained by our food habits and daily. It might sound silly to take care of health while we have lot of wealth to treat our sickness or diseases.

      A wise man would definitely realize that health is more important to survive; not wealth. We should never forget the saying “Prevention is better Than Cure”. If we, ourselves, maintain our health there would be no necessity of treatments in future. So, we should learn that “Health is Wealth”

      Remembering these thoughts would definitely give you ideas on how to keep yourself healthy. Keep yourself engaged with healthy thoughts; regular exercises and walk would help for sure. Fruits and vegetables are the best sources of health. One who follows these and gains a healthy life is a wealthy person. Just before running after money compromising your health, time and happiness, remind yourself

    • Want to become a very healthy person? It’s all about making gradual changes.

      In order to be a very healthy person, you need to consistently get enough sleep. That means 7-9 hours per night for adults, 8-10 hours for teenagers, and 9-11 hours for children. This keeps you awake and alert, so you don’t have to drink caffeine and sugar-loaded energy drinks. Sleep is also when most of the body and mind’s healing and detoxifying takes place. If you are a kid and have early school times, go to sleep earlier on school nights.

      Don’t overdo it, though. Sleeping too much can be as bad as not sleeping enough. If you miss some sleep one night, you can sleep longer another night to make up for that. But in general, try to stay within the right range for your age.

    • Other thing is that we should eat an appropriate, healthy balanced diet containing all the nutrients your body requires. A proper diet contains the right balance of carbohydrates, protein, fruits and vegetables, and fat. For carbohydrates, try to eat whole grains. Lean meat, fish, eggs, and nuts are some of the best sources of protein. Try to get at least 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. A certain amount of fat is also needed to keep your body functioning smoothly; fish oil, olive oil, and coconut oil are some particularly beneficial fats.

      Drink water. It is key in making you run throughout the day. Try drinking 8 eight-ounce glasses of water each day. It helps you re-energize and keep going. Not drinking enough fresh water can lead to acne, headaches, and even dehydration. Do this, and you’ll become a very healthy person.

    • For someone who is busy, get some exercise every day, even just a little. This will not only make you feel better, and make you look better, but help you to get through the day. Research has proven that exercising regularly helps you feel better because endorphins released by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus during exercise produce a feeling of happiness and well being. Walking is a great exercise. Walk to work or school if you can. If you can’t walk the whole way, try parking farther away from your destination so you can walk a least part of the way. You can get of the bus or train a stop earlier if you don’t drive.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Does Oily Food Cause Acne? 8 years, 2 months ago

    There are many myths spreading around the world that oily /fatty foods and sweetened beverages caused acne.

    What is the truth behind this Acne Myth that you had heard […]

    • When I was in my teen years I had a problem with acne. I had two friends that had the smoothest skin in the world. To contrast and compare, there was definitely a difference in our diets, such as eating greasy potato chips versus not eating greasy potato chips. So in response to question does oily food cause acne? Cause acne? OK. I’ll compromise. It contributes. Oily food contributes to acne.

    • No oily food foods not cause acne because acne is the cause of lack of water proper amount in human body cells. I am a medical astrologer and and I receive many questions daily on this topic from my country and out of my country. Check my gig on Fiverr.com writing my name jhsayyaar gig

      Two main things work in human body heat and water. Its process is easy when water becomes less in human body cells they become heated and acne appears on human skin surface as you know water balance heat in human body and there is no other cause of this disease.

      I recommend medicines for those who have this problem.

      Use (Euginia jambos) 30x

      Ten drops daily in one fourth glass of water three times in a day in semi hot water.

      If the skin is weather beaten use this medicine

      Dulcamaria 30

      Use 10 drops of medicines in semi hot water in the one fourth glass of water. three times daily

      Note
      You will get these two medicine from any Homeopathy Store.

    • Acne is caused by oil-producing glands in the skin getting blocked, leading to blackheads, redness and spots with pus where bacteria infiltrate the area. Production of oil (sebum) is increased by sex hormones, hence the appearance of acne at adolescence. Acne is definitely not caused by dirty skin. However, diet may have a role, albeit a small one.
