In Phoenix Arizona I have served several years as a judge for the high school DECA competitions. I love to hear the business and marketing plans the teens have created. I am also stunned by how many young girls walk into a state level competition wearing low cut blouses, with push up bras and boobs wagging.

Forget the short hemline-myself and the male judges turn our heads to avoid seeing the competitor’s breasts. This is not one girl I’m talking about-it’s many.  How am I suppose to see and hear her work when her skimpy attire is screaming? My heart breaks at the thought that no one took the time to teach this girl my motto :
“you never get a second chance to make a first impression-so make the first count!”
 Here is a photo of what is considered good for work, business, interviews and meeting a moment with respect intact! The second photo is what not to wear!

Appropriate dress for interviews, work and in some cases school,

Not appropriate ever-in any situation!

Now, let’s talk about starting to wear a bra, needing to find the right fit (you should get fitted yearly!) and which bra is right for you. Below is some information I got from the website “First Bra for Teens”-and it’s really worth a click over to read the article in it’s entirety and see the photo samples of bras available.

Find Out Your Bra Size

• Step
  1: Run a soft tape measure at the narrowest point just under your
  breasts, all the way around your back and rib cage. The tape measure
  should rest flat on your skin and lie straight across your back – not so
  tight that it digs in, but not so loose that it sags down in back.
  Make a note of this measurement. (Round up if the number is uneven.) That’s your band size.
• Step
  2: To measure cup size, take the tape measure around your body across
  the fullest part of your breasts. Write this number down and subtract
  your band size measurement from it. The difference between the numbers
  will tell you your cup size. If the difference between the two numbers
  is less than 1 inch, your cup size is AA. If the difference is 1 inch,
  your cup size is A; 2 inches, you’re a B; 3 inches you’re a C, and so
  on.

• Step 3: Be sure to try on lots and lots of different bras, in different styles and variations of sizes. Sister sizes
  are equivalent sizes with either larger or smaller cups/bands. It’s
  great to try a sister size if a bra fits pretty well but is maybe a
  little bit off. For example, if you’re trying a 34C and it’s a little
  bit too big in the band, you can try a 32D, one of the sister sizes.
  This is a good guideline to find the exact right fit!

How To Get a Great Workout From Your Couch

Too lazy to hit the gym? This full-body workout gives the term “couch potato” a whole new meaning

This is a TotalBeauty.com fitness article “It’s too cold outside for a run,” “the gym is too crowded,” “I’ll do it tomorrow.” We all know these oh-so-familar excuses for not working out. Sure, it’s so much easier to plop down on the couch after a long day than to lace up those sneakers. But there is finally hope for even the laziest of the lazy gals. We talked to personal trainers, Pilates instructors, and physical therapists who revealed various exercises that can be done on your very own sofa.

Hello Gorgeous!
It is Day 5 of TEEN WEEK and today we are going to talk about how to build a business at home, from scratch with the very bright ideas and witty inventions that are in you! Please welcome and enjoy the expert advice and teaching from Marcy McKenna-Inventor-Entrepreneur and Designer!

If you have ever thought that you had an idea that would be a help or good for life-read and get in action below! Of course there is a free giveaway today-and also, a tune to rock out with!

 Everyone has a great idea for a product, but very few people feel they
have the financial means to bring it to life. I’m here to challenge
that myth. With the incredible resources available today, in my
opinion, there’s never been a better time to try your hand at inventing!

As an inventor who has brought several products to market and has many
more in active development, I’m often asked how to get a product idea
off the ground without spending a fortune. I’m happy to share my tried
and true tips that will allow you to explore the worl of inventing
without breaking the bank.

• Patent Search – One of the most important first steps
you should take when considering bringing an invention to market is to
do a preliminary patent search to ensure the invention does not already
exist and/or that your idea does not infringe on an existing patent.
One way to do this is to hire a Patent Attorney—they will typically
charge between $500 and $3000 to do the search for you. With the
resources available today, you can do this preliminary patent search
yourself at no cost.I find “Google Patent” (www.google.com/patents) and
“PatentStorm” (www.patentstorm.us) to be the most simple platforms to
navigate. You can also go directly to the USPTO (United States Patent
& Trademark Office — www.uspto.gov ). Down the road, you may want
to have an attorney do a more thorough search, but in the initial
stages, doing your own search can save you a lot of money.

 • Provisional Patent – To patent or not to patent is an
ongoing debate in the world of inventing. Sadly, the thought of
spending $5,000 to $10,000 to secure a patent scares most would-be
inventors away. Did you know that only about 5% of the products in the
market place are patented?

When deciding whether to file a patent, it’s
important to determine what your goal is. If you’re goal is to
commercialize the product yourself, you may not need a patent at all.
And in fact, it can often be a waste of money for small business owners
as they are usually not financially equipped to defend it if their
product should get knocked off. In most cases that money would be
better spent building market share. However, if your goal is instead to
license your idea to a company, then a patent is likely very important.
The good news is that you don’t have to decide that now.

You can file a
“Provisional Patent” for $125 (In California. Other states may vary.)
that will give you a “Patent Pending” status for 12 months while you
explore the commercial viability of the product. Filing a full utility
or design patent too early in the process can be a waste of money as the
product will likely evolve over time. It’s usually best to wait until
the product is manufacture ready before taking that step. As always,
consult a patent attorney before making your final decision.

 • Trademarks– I happen to be a big believer in
trademarks. When it comes to consumer products the name is usually one
of the most important things. For example, when you go out to buy dark
brown cookies with cream filling, what name comes to mind? I’m willing
to bet it’s Oreos® over Hydrox®. It’s all about the name and brand
loyalty. If you can create that loyalty with your product name then
many times that can be much more valuable than a patent. And the good
news is that trademark protection is relatively inexpensive and fast
when compared to patent protection. Legal Zoom has trademark packages
that start at $169 plus the government filing fee.

 • Developing a Prototype – A prototype is a working example of your idea. It doesn’t have to be fancy.

I encourage you to take a shabbat. Make time for a time of rest. The best practice is to have it last 24 hours-but if you can squeeze out 12 hours that’s a great place to start.

Today is Sunday and in the United States  it has traditionally been set apart  for families to spend the morning at church, the afternoon relaxing or playing, having a meal together and getting ready for the work week.

For my friends in Israel, they take their shabbat, the time of rest on Friday evening from 6 pm to Saturday at 6pm. The time is different but the thought is the same.

Maybe you have a weekend job and can’t take the time off to rest because you are busy being a disciplined earner for your future goals. That’s is so great!

But-when can you take a rest? Maybe a Tuesday evening where you give yourself an at home spa pedicure?

Whatever time you choose-please take care of your health, give your body the time it needs to refuel and heal and rest!

TEEN WEEK Rest Yourself Giveaway!

To enter to win please follow the Makeup University Blog on Blogger and comment on how you plan to rest!

Please be 13 years of age or older with permission to enter! This is open to all of the United States. 1 winner selected and contacted by email February 8th.
