RID UNWANTED HAIR

Women just like men have hair growth in the face, though the hair is not as coarse. 
Unwanted excess hair can be a bit unappealing when it grows in between the eyebrows, in the eyebrows, chin, upper lip, and sideburns.
 

Doctors say the #1 cause of facial hair growth in women is due to hormonal imbalance and is very common in women who are overweight. Other reasons are due to a person's physical characteristics, ancestry and genetics which also plays a role.

The good news is, there are several methods for facial hair removal for women. 
For a temporary technique, many opt for waxing or tweezing, while for something more permanent, laser hair removal is the option.

Waxing

This is a quick and effective – yet painful – way to get a smooth-looking face. But again, some women react to this technique better than others, so be sure to try a test spot before waxing the facial area. You can find a few skin care products that are meant to soothe skin post-waxing.

 
Tweezing

Some women choose to tweeze unwanted hairs, but this isn't an ideal solution because repeated plucking can cause irritation of the hair follicle and, on darker-skinned women, may result in scarring. Also, hair will grow back thicker and stiffer once it's plucked. Unless you have just a few stray hairs that occasionally pop up, avoid tweezing unwanted hair.

Laser hair removal 

This is a popular hair removal procedure. The ideal candidate for laser work has fair skin and dark hair, but darker-skinned women can have good results with an experienced laser practitioner. Overall, laser hair removal is not very effective on light blonde or white hair.
Before you begin laser treatment, you should consult a dermatologist to determine if you are a good candidate. 
 
Electrolysis
 
Electrolysis has the best overall results, versus any other method, in ridding hair for long periods of time- or even permanently. Many different hair and skin types can benefit from it; because it doesn't target hair pigment (color) like laser, but attacks the follicle itself. 
People that aren't good candidates for laser can still get electrolysis. 

Like everything else is has it's cons like previous waxing or tweezing can make hair follicles bent or misshapen, and getting the needle to the root more difficult to destroy the follicle. Sometimes multiple treatments are necessary, which can be time consuming. Electrolysis can also cause skin discoloration if not done properly.

It is important to examine all methods and see which works best for you.

LIFE AFTER SCHOOL - JOB HUNTING? (PART 1)


Cover Letters, Jobs, Job Hunting, Resume


It may be summer! graduation is finished, partying is over but now it's time to enter the job market. This can be a scary time for many, especially high school or college graduates.

When introducing yourself to a possible employer for the first time, it is important to create a resume or what most know as a "CV". Before you create a resume, it is important to include a "cover letter". 
This is a single-page letter that you include with your job application. A well-written resume is a key part of any job application. It can convince employers to interview you, or even hire you. It can also sell your strengths even if you don't have much paid experience.

Here are a few great points to get started.

COVER LETTER
You should always include a cover letter, unless the job advertisement clearly says not to.

The purpose of a cover letter is to introduce yourself mention the job (or kind of job) you're applying for (or looking for) show that your skills and experience match the skills and experience needed to do the job encourage the reader to read your resume finish with a call to action (for example, asking for an interview or a meeting).

What to include in your cover letter?
Your name and contact details
These details go at the top of your cover letter. You don't have to give your postal address, but you do need to include your email and phone number.

Your email address should create a professional impression. Don't use an email address like: HotboyGirl2019@bmail.com.




If you don't have a professional email address, you can make one with a free email provider. Make it simple – something that includes your first name and your last name is a good way to go.

Their name and contact details
Under your own name and contact details, you should include: Name of the person you're writing to and their position or the name of their company their contact details.

How long should a cover letter be?
Keep it short. A cover letter is meant to be a summary of your resume, so don’t write more than one page.

Match your cover letter to the job!

Use a different cover letter for each job you apply for. Your cover letter needs to show that you know what the job involves, and what the employer is looking for.

To do this, be specific about your skills and qualities. You also need to show how they match the needs of the job or the organisation.

Here are three simple ways to make your cover letter as specific as possible:

1. Find out who to address it to:
Try not to address your letter ‘To whom it may concern’.

Find out the name of the person who will read your application. This might take a little effort, but it's worth it.

TIP: You can use ‘To whom it may concern’, but it’s best to only use this as a last resort.
If you found the job in an advertisement, it will probably name a person to send the application to. If it doesn’t, call the employer or advertiser and ask who to send the application to. Telephone is best, but email them if you can’t find a contact phone number.

If you find out the person's name, don't use their first name. Use either ‘Mr’ or ‘Ms’ and their last name instead.

2. Find out more about the job description:

When finding out who to address your application to, you could also try to contact that person so you can ask questions. This can help you match your cover letter (and resume) to the job.

Questions you could ask:

Does the job involve working as part of a team?

Who would I be reporting to if I got the job?

Can you tell me more about the kind of person you're looking for?

Is there a position description I can look at?

(Only ask this if the job advertisement doesn’t mention a position description.) Write down the answers to these questions as they can be used in your cover letter.


3. Find out more about the company:

Find out more about the company so you can tailor your cover letter for the job.

Here are some tips:

If you know the name of the company, look for information online.
If the company has a website, visit it (especially their ‘About us’ page).
If the company name isn't in the advertisement, call the recruitment agency or advertiser and ask who the employer is.
Find out what the employer does, and how they talk about themselves. Use this language in your cover letter.

NBA YoungBoy is FREE!

Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy was released from court supervision Friday after a judge agreed to terminate his probation early, noting he's complied with all its conditions over the past several months.

The judge's decision, which came over objections from prosecutors, brings an end to the rapper's long standing legal troubles in East Baton Rouge Parish. NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, is now free to do whatever he wants, including schedule performances, release music and even move out of state.

Gaulden's attorney, James Manasseh, said his client is planning to leave Baton Rouge, possibly relocating to Los Angeles for a bigger market and better opportunities to pursue his burgeoning career.
"Being in Baton Rouge isn't conducive to him being able to grow and move forward," Manasseh said after the hearing Friday, calling Gaulden a "genuinely good hearted, generous, sweet young man" who works hard for his success.

Gaulden, 20, rose to national acclaim as a teenager growing up in Baton Rouge. But his success has been marred with violence and drama.

He served 90 days in jail this summer after state District Judge Bonnie Jackson handed down a temporary probation hold in a 2016 nonfatal shooting case. Prosecutors had moved to revoke his probation entirely, which would have sent him to prison for 10 years, following his involvement in a shootout in Miami this Mother's Day that left a bystander dead.

Gaulden is also facing legal troubles in other states, including two recent arrests in Georgia, one involving domestic violence allegations.
The judge had given Gaulden a suspended 10-year prison term in August 2017 and put him on probation for three years after he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a firearm in the 2016 shooting. But Jackson decided Friday that the rapper had served enough time under court supervision — 28 months on probation — and released him.

Jackson had previously granted several requests in recent months allowing Gaulden to leave his house for various reasons, including to attend doctors appointments, meet with his financial advisers and attorneys, and drive his car to shoot a rap video.

Gaulden arrived at the 19th Judicial District Courthouse in downtown Baton Rouge Friday morning in a Rolls Royce, flanked with security guards dressed in suits and shades who waited outside during the hearing. He also brought a film crew to record him entering the courthouse.

Manasseh said he believes Gaulden has matured in recent years and simply needs to distance himself from certain people who are negative influence. The Miami shootout remains unsolved — Florida authorities initially said they suspected a rival Baton Rouge rap group might have targeted Gaulden and his entourage.

It appears local law enforcement responded to that incident with a renewed focus on preventing gun violence stemming from Baton Rouge rap beefs, specifically an established feud between the associates of NBA YoungBoy and Gee Money. The two were friends growing up and entered the rap scene around the same time, but later had a falling out just months before Gee Money was found shot to death in September 2017.

An associate of NBA YoungBoy was arrested in that shooting earlier this summer, and another associate was arrested just days later and accused of firing alongside Gaulden in the 2016 fatal shooting that resulted in his probation term.

After Gee Money's death, NBA YoungBoy's agent, Desmond "Dump" Hardnett, was shot and killed in May 2018, and then Blvd Quick, another rapper affiliated with Gee Money, died in a shooting just months later.

Judge Jackson has referenced the violence that seems to follow Gaulden during his recent hearings, cautioning him to protect himself and the people around him and refrain from engaging in conflicts.
"All around you people are dropping dead, and you don't care," she told him in May. "Who do you think you are?"
