Shape ups actually works! I was skeptical because of the commercials, since the people wearing the shoes were super skinny and fit. However within four months or so I noticed that my legs, thighs and butt became very toned. Usually in order to get my lower body into shape like they are now, I would have to swim. How may you ask? The shoes are ridiculously heavy, that's right each shoe weighs at least half a pound. Imagine walking up and down the stairs with those puppies, who wouldn't get fit. Upside is that they do not cost around 100 dollars anymore, compared to the price they were at last year. Now they are around roughly $40-65. Another pro is that they give you an extra inch in your height. Since I'm 5'1, wearing them made me feel tall. Downside is that you can't run in them cus your very likely to sprain your ankle. Also the fabric on the inside isn't very durable. After only owning the shoes for about 7 months, the back inside area (where you slide in your feet into the shoe) tared apart and yellow sponge stuffing came out. All in all if you don't have time to go to the gym, have some extra cash laying around, why not. Maybe they fixed their poor quality... probably not, but never hurts to try out new products.

How to get rid of of stretch marks

Stretch marks can be a real pain. That one big obstacle between wearing short-shorts and wearing leggings. What I used to reduce the marks were very simple. I used Palmers coco butter on my new red stretch marks and my old ones that I've had for several years. Although the new ones faded away, the old ones were left unchanged. I applied it on once a day. The great thing is that if you eliminate the red marks then they don't turn into white ones which are much harder to get rid of. Tanning doesn't help much, but does camouflage the marks a little bit. Didn't eliminate any lines. I've tried other brands of lotion with vitamin E and none has reduced the long lasting marks. I'm going to try using Vicks vapor rub soon and will tell you the results :)

Bank disasters

I now know why certain banks have higher Apr rates then others, because their company's system is completely bonkers! I switched from Chas_ to Cit_ and man was that a complete waste of time. When opening up an account for chas_ it was quiet simple only the regular identifications were needed such as passport, ss card and state id. The process was smooth and got my card with no hassle. As for Cit they need ss card, state id, cell phone bill; if bill not under your name you also need a credit card bill and some other paper work that needs to be faxed. If you have the option of opening up a card on the phone or in person, make your life so much simplier and just go to the bank. Trust you will save your self a whole lot of trouble. State id also caused some problems too, went to their bank so that they could fax my documents. For some reason the customer service people kept calling me everytime I processed my forms to notify me that my card was "unreadable." How was this possible when I had it done at "their" bank. So I went back to have it faxed again, once again the call came. Was about to give up and took a color copy of it and sent it to them. Three weeks later, didn't hear from them. Called and asked about the status, told me that everything was great. When I asked when was my card going to arrive, was told that it should have been shipped already and said that it was strange. So he sent out another card. Best part was that the card arrive in two days. Bad part it was left out in a package on the floor (maybe that's why I never recieved the first one?) It gets even better, the card basically has no protection besides the pin that is if you recieve the second letter<- never recieved that either. When calling to ask about the pin the lady put me on hold only to tell me a couple of minutes later that I didn't have enough info for account # and pin I needed to go to the bank and requist for one. She was completely useless and wasted my time. Couldn't access my account online either since I didn't have a pin. When I complained and wrote a letter explaining what had occurred the lady sent me a letter appologieing and spelled my name wrong...twice. My name is on my email and they even require me to input my name. Moral of the story, save some of your hair and pick a differnt bank. Chas_ & T_ has 0.01 APR, Cit_ .1-.4 (if you have a lot of money ot else it's around .1-.2. If your able to choose easy rather than might screw you over in the long run, take easy.

How to get free stuff

Companies always want more customers to buy their products but most people don't like to try new things because they are not sure if it'll taste bad or not work. So these companies product freebies for their new products or even for their old products in hope to draw in new customers. Kashi- free cereal and discounts on their website every so often, Sephora-free make up kit (only on birthday), kotex- free pads and tampons, and much more. Some sites such as Walmart, P&G, and Target gives out free samples. If your going out to eat you should sign up for these sites in order to get free food on your birthday: Uno-free entree, cold stone- free ice cream, baskin robbins- free ice cream, there are other places such as Outback and others that gives out free appetizers. If it's your birthday might as well make it worth while as well as staying under your budget.

How to keep your hair healthy looking and beautiful

So how often do you wash your hair? Once a day? How often should you wash your hair? Correct answer is every other day. By washing you hair everyday it damages your hair and if continued can lead to massive hair loss! So if your losing hair this might be the cause! So how does washing your hair damage it? Well it takes awhile for your hair to truly dry, more than a day even thought it looks/feels dry 2-6 hours later it's not really. So how does this damage your hair? Well wet hair is easily damaged and weak (this is why you shouldn't comb your hair during a shower either). Also washing your hair means washing away your natural oil on your head, doing this too much leaves your hair dry, dull looking (it looks like fake hair) and split ends. So save money on conditioner and shampoo and wash your hair less! Note* this does not apply for baths/ showers, you can wash your body daily.

How to pass a interview

So what do these people want from you? Does it seem like whatever you say it seems to backfire and you never get hired regardless? Well they said that honesty is the best but that's a huge lie. So what do they want you to really say?
Future goals, such as college- never say that your unsure even though that's the truth. Pick a college and stick to it. When asked a question, answer confidently ( there are no maybes, ifs and sortas). Use direct eye contact and remember to practice your speech at home before you you actually go to your interview, this way when you are asked those questions you aren't nervous. Some common questions are:
*Why do you want to work here?
*Why do you think you should get the job?
*Do you have any questions?
