Skincare book-how to get clear and healthy skin

About Skincare book-how to get clear and healthy skin

This is a personal skincare book on how I in my profession as a skin therapist helped clients to manage skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, sensitised reactive and damaged skin, prematurely aged skin and a general redness in the skin.

Have you tried several different skin care products that promise to erase your skin issues, but the problem remains? There might be circumstances in your daily habits that have to change before you can get the result you want.

Discover another approach to skincare and get to know your own skin better, or maybe you can help a friend or a family member who had unwanted skin issues for a while.

The book contains all the information I provide to my clients during facial treatments and final recommendations. I have combined my knowledge from skin therapist education and my own personal reflections and observations about the skin barrier.

Into the Rhubarb

About Into the Rhubarb

“Into the rhubarb: headed off the road; to get into trouble; a brawl, argument, or squabble.”

In her fifth volume of poetry, Carla Coles once again brings us into her inimitable inner world. This time, along with her odes to the pleasures of coffee and cake and writing, she delves into the darker emotions of betrayal, endings, and coming through the fire with her sense of humour intact and her gift with words honed to a new level of insight.

“Whether the subject matter is painful, wonderful, chaotically confusing, or simply the inappropriating of her own kaleidoscopic inner culture, Carla’s perfectly parsed insights are never anything less than a delight. And sometimes there’s a sly lesson about how to be human in an inhuman world.” ~ Bruce Barber,author of Jetsam: New and Collected Fictions

Let’s shop in our own closet: How to build a capsule wardrobe and find our style

About Let’s shop in our own closet: How to build a capsule wardrobe and find our style

There may be a great many reasons for the wardrobe problem, but this is what the symptoms look like:

1 The time spent by the closet irritates you. You are one of those people who want to spend their brainpower on cryptos or on planting roses, while looking first-rate.

2 You’ve become environmentally concerned. The army of planet-defenders is your best friend. You are top-rate at clearing your closet, but have no idea what to do with emptiness.

3 Torture. Every time you are invited to go out there it is. You are tormented by trying to build a look and the result is that you wear the same look over and over again. The change of seasons may be quite an agony for some people too. It’s because you have just managed and adapted to one, just barely put together a couple of looks and wham! Here comes spring. You’ve nothing against spring; you were even waiting for it. But now you have to go through the whole painful process again and come up with some new outfits. All in all, your closet is full and happy and you feel lonely.

4 Somewhere deep down, you feel that it is much more convenient not to change anything; it is easier to simply complain and leave everything as it is. So you are in denial and your brain conveniently provides a very convincing idea that “you can’t solve the wardrobe problem without $.”

5 You are shy, thinking that style is only for the slim and fit to make them even more perfect. These are in a minority. The rest of us realize that style is a friend of regular women who laugh a lot and are dappled with expression lines; who swell up in the mornings and see red streaks on their face; who have no stamina for a healthy diet, lymphatic drainage exercises or jogging.

6 You may be spontaneous. It seems you had a list when you started shopping, but, somehow or other, it just got away from you. What you’d really like is a wardrobe that is pretty and small.
Personally, I was close to problems # 3 and 6. Shopping did not produce beauty for me and I kept doing it over and over. I kept hitting the same button, so the money just kept pouring away. The best thing was – I did not give up! I kept running after yet another top, even though the result was exactly nil.

Yes, most people do just that. Chaos in the closet is the spring board to good appearance. The closet disappoints, but it also gets the person ready for the idea that you really do have to study the laws of style. It is hard, it’s almost unbearable, but it’s got to be done. There are classes. Even though, in the end, they scare you off even worse. After all, they make you rob yourself of an enormous amount of time, and not just yourself, but your family and all the things you love to do.

That is why, sometimes, you can trust someone else. Me, for example. You don’t know me; it is unclear why you should pay me, but I have studied all aspects of fighting chaos in the closet for nine years. I worked out all the ins and outs of taming an unruly wardrobe and now I inspire people to build capsules.

Going to a stylist is a good solution, but it’s like tossing a coin: you might become prettier or just poorer; will your tastes be compatible? Investing in your own knowledge, on the other hand, is forever. So, those of you who want to solve their wardrobe problem – just keep reading.

First, let me tell you a truth. Solving the wardrobe problem requires some minimal strategy at the very beginning. It’s not hard; it’s actually fun. You have to decide, right now, to become stylish.

Your first investment is a few dollars you paid for this book. That’s all, for now. You key tools in conquering the world are YOU and your closet. We’ll analyze your wardrobe to the fullest extent, so that every element works to give you beauty and good vibes.

Now, it’s time to be surprised. The first stage in preparing to be stylish is over.

My dear ladies, this is where the fun begins!

Leadership With A Purpose: Motivating Your Engineers

About Leadership With A Purpose: Motivating Your Engineers

Effectively motivating, inspiring and leading engineering professionals is about putting people first. Here’s how you do it.

In today’s world, effectively motivating and managing highly intelligent technology professionals is challenging. Around the world, people are more educated, informed and highly social about their careers and employers, making retention and employee happiness a full-time job. In fact, companies are beginning to recognize these impacts and have begun employing more “PeopleOps” type human resources professionals to tackle this head-on.

The reality is that most engineers don’t leave jobs, they leave managers. While having a swanky and modern human resources strategy helps keep the company on the cutting edge of benefits and overall happiness, it does not solve the root problem – having good managers that motivate engineering teams.

In the remote and global workforce that we all participate in, establishing a healthy work culture with safe boundaries is an ongoing task that cannot be forced. Add in the complexities of global cultural differences and political phenomena; it’s every leader’s nightmare to manage well.

This book will cover what makes an engineering culture, how to cultivate it, and how to build trust with your teams.
After reading this book, you can effectively motivate, inspire and lead engineering professionals of all levels that are happy and loyal to you.

With years of experience within the software engineering and technology sectors, Robert Murphy has become an expert in building healthy company cultures and motivating engineering professionals.

Once deemed “The King of Culture” by a previous employer, he is passionate about helping other technology leaders on their mission to build highly effective teams. In this debut book, Robert describes his proven methods and provides a roadmap to successful leadership with a purpose!

A Space Adventure Boxed Set – Books 1-3

About A Space Adventure Boxed Set – Books 1-3

The year on the human home world calendar is 2220.

Life is a bit like the sci-fi shows of the 20th Century in some ways.

In others? Not so much.

I’m on a League of Civilizations star ship. Yep. Star Ship. In space.

Currently trying to physically, and emotionally, recover from a crash where I lost my partner. All would be going fine except we also have to survive an encounter with the deadliest lifeform in the universe.

A lifeform we were starting to think was just legend.

No big deal.

If it were just about the lives on board that would be one thing. But it’s not. What we do next will impact everyone, in all the League civilizations. That’s hundreds of billions of sentients. They could all be wiped out.

I’m running out of options.

And time.

Oh yeah, and as if dealing with trying to save everyone in the universe wasn’t enough, I also have to contend with a crush on the ship’s first officer who also happens to be… yes, you guessed it, a synthetic life form.

Fuck my life.

Surviving either of these things intact is going to be a challenge.
