Adjust your makeup according to the seasons. Material choices as well as color, both of them should be changed. Every time you wear makeup during the summer you will want to be sure that it isn’t oil-based. When you sweat in the heat of the summer, your skin will clog up and dry out, so you need something to keep your skin moisturized, like these products. In the winter it is better to use oil based products because they provide extra protection against the chapping nature of cold weather. To help keep your skin moisturized and warm, you should give your skin the protection against the bad weather by using the heavier products. There are more reasons to use makeup than for beautification, because your skin also needs things to make it healthier.

If you have skin care merchandise, even cotton balls, put them in the refrigerator – this will help you especially if you have chronic puffy skin. Skin care, especially in regard to puffy skin, can be taken care of using refrigerated products because they are less hot than your facial epidermal layer. Some people actually use those around the bottom of their eyes to reduce the swelling. Teabags and cucumbers are often used instead of spoons because they conform to your eyes in a much more natural way. Using spoons, cucumbers, or teabags will give you the same result because they are all chilled and used for this purpose.

Laser hair removal is growing in popularity and is safe for both the face and body, leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth and hair free. Areas such as bikini, under-arms, legs etc are treatable without side effects – the hair growth will diminish and the skin condition improve.

It is very important to remove your makeup before you go to sleep at night. People that are extremely tired will convince themselves that they are too exhausted to take their makeup off before sleeping – mistake! Being lazy is easy which is why most people are. Anyone who has had a long day might find being lazy very alluring. Heavy acne breakouts and blemishes will definitely appear if you leave your cosmetics on your face. Your pores get clogged and pimples emerge. It only takes a few minutes to run a makeup removing cloth across your face and splash on some cold water to rinse out your pores. Skin care can be quite problematic, however it does not have to be that hard; by simply removing your makeup in the evening, and thoroughly cleaning your pores in the morning, your skin should be flawless from your efforts.

Making your skin look silky and smooth can be accomplished by following the tips we have presented. So many of us fall prey to marketing ploys that tell us that we need lots of expensive things to keep our skin looking good. Your entire epidermal layer can benefit and look great without shelling out too much of your hard-earned cash.

A seasoned traveller, Henderson Cisz has spent time in Europe, Australia and of course his native South America. While he loves the ocean and has always found it a source of inspiration and joy, he is also a true city-dweller, and many of his most inspirational works feature scenes from the world’s most beautiful cities. Painting in acrylic, oil or watercolour on canvas, Henderson Cisz’s trademark palette utilises cool, soft tones to convey the atmosphere of his subject. His works are regularly displayed in London galleries and at international art fairs.

“I love the effect that weather has on the urban landscape and must confess to a particular fondness for the rain! Not only does it cast interesting shadows and reflections on the slick sidewalks, but it also dictates the stance of the figures. Their slightly defensive postures and hunched shoulders lend a very specific, and to my mind curiously engaging, mood to the overall scene.”

Citizen of the World

Brazilian-born wanderer Henderson Cisz loves to travel the world and paint the drama and diversity of urban life. From New York to Paris, from London to Venice he has formed an intense and loving artistic relationship with these living breathing cities. Although he may have finally settled in London, Henderson Cisz ’s nomadic past has left indelible imprints on his lifestyle, not to mention his artwork, as we can see by joining him for a few hours in the life of a truly cosmopolitan artist.

As early as 8am Henderson Cisz is already demonstrating the habits of a good New Yorker or Parisian, sitting back, legs crossed in a leisurely pose, enjoying a freshly ground coffee and a basket of croissants “en famille” in his local café. Then it’s off to school for the younger children and back to Henderson Cisz ’s delightful mews studio for him and his eldest son, who is currently going in every day to watch and learn both his father’s painting techniques and the art of studio management.

Observing Henderson Cisz at work is an education in itself. A charming and unassuming man, softly spoken and with a gentle sense of humour, he transforms when he stands before his canvas. Working from the many hundreds of photographs he takes in each location, his style is surprisingly uninhibited and the studio wall is strewn with riotous splashes of paint that have flicked from his animated brush. The room itself is equally chaotic, with rolled canvases stacked against the wall, interspersed with family photos, sketches and works in progress. Yet out of this apparent confusion emerges artwork that is beautifully resonant of the city it represents.

When he is not travelling, Henderson Cisz tends to spend the majority of his day painting in his studio which occupies a lovely West London setting close to the Thames.

Henderson Cisz art can be bought at Heart Galleries, a Staffordshire based art gallery.

I knew from an early age I had the ability to draw. But it was the ability to remember and learn by heart details that, when combined, became the future benchmark of the work I now produce. The stories told and retold as a child helped, in part, to create a palpable and lucid world deciphered only through the use of drawing.

At school I was very lucky to be taught by great art teachers. In fact, throughout my schooling my teachers have been very important. Their grounding, nurturing and kind devotion helped provide the push and inspiration to further my potential. I studied for a foundation course in art and design followed by a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design at Leeds Metropolitan University, specialising in illustration. After my three years I left the UK to ‘backpack’ around Latin America and Africa.

Travelling played a pivotal role in my creative work. Certainly giving me the freedom to develop my own ideas and in my own time. I returned to the basic art of drawing using only pen and paper; a process in which the virtues of simplicity unravel the sentiments. This has produced, in my opinion, my most honest and frank sketches to date. Even now when I look back at my sketch books they instantly take me back to my travels.

On returning to the UK I worked as a studio designer, serving a high profile company. As an artist, it was a certainly a complete contrast from the heady days of travelling and challenging at the best of times. To reign in on this fast-moving and often high-paced working atmosphere, I ditched the studio and took on freelance work for the next five years before starting a family and embarking on a career as a full time artist.

I still live in Keighley, Yorkshire and I am married with two young boys.

IDEAS & INSPIRATIONS

My ideas and inspirations are ever flowing. I can take a little or a lot from anything I deem to be influential in my work. From the spoken word, travel diaries, people watching and sometimes plain old contemplation. I have always had that ability to remember and ‘mentally’ jot down anything that interests me. Though I do carry a journal bursting at the seams with magazine and newspaper cut outs. Transferring this in my work can be easy but also at times, challenging. If I try to guide too much information into my characters they become complex and therefore difficult even for me to understand. Through painting my characters, I aim to invest into a personality that imbues the emotions of which everyone is privileged to.

I draw a lot of inspiration from the music I listen to or the books I read. I revel in the works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez – in particular, A Hundred Years of Solitude. I have read and re-read the book. Each time I read it I am transported into a world full of spellbinding magic and imaginary so beguiling that it is hard not to be influenced by it. My mum’s stories have had the same effect. Her storytelling always left an ineffaceable impression of enchantment and magic, but more often than not subdued with sadness too. It seems fitting that my inspiration comes from those early days of listening to my mum.

FROM PALETTE TO PICTURE

I don’t assign to any formulaic way of painting my characters. Often I begin by painting on canvas a faint outline of my characters head and placing them low down on the canvas. At this stage I can do one of two things: firstly I can revert back to sketch books and pick a character that I may have doodled, or I can reign free and see where it will take me. The latter of the two always brings out a surprisingly different outcome often much more successful. My characters become apparent to me as they are being painted. A flick of the paint brush or the eccentricity of the hair can reveal a different character. In some case, the music I play whilst painting can steer me into a different direction.

I paint in oils on canvas which suits me very well, particularly as the medium gives you a lot of flexibility and direction. I loosely use the Renaissance technique of underpainting in order to achieve the depth in skin tone. Of course, glazing or adding colour is very time consuming, so I sometimes tend to forgo the layering and the glazing and adapt a different approach. I usually work on two or three paintings at one time. Working in oils gives me the freedom to make any alterations.

My painted little characters are presented like the typical portrait paintings of old; quite still and ordinary. Yet there is plenty about them that is peculiar. An unsettling charm made all the more apparent by their enigmatic gaze. They are vulnerable in scale, sharing neither their proportions or their features. Their sizable heads and characteristic hair, dominate the canvas, equalled only by the charming nervousness revealed within the peripheral ‘full stop’ eyes that stare blankly back. The absence of a mouth perhaps gives you the impression that they are essentially solitary and lonely characters, devoid of communication. But this is not to say they are unloved or isolated; rather they provide sentiments of hope joy, sadness and loss. Even as they are being painted, their characters become apparent to me; a snapshot of a moment or a feeling considered. They are in essence a tensely guarded connection to a benign world summoned by the passing of time. They are carefully preserved, given existence and above all loved.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF…

I have a frantic two hours in the morning when I need to get my children up and out of bed. My children collectively referred to as “The Monkey Boys” keep me busy. Each weekday morning I wake at 6.30am and get the boys ready for school and nursery. This is a great undertaking, particularly as I have to giggle my youngest down to the ground in order to try and get a sock or a shoe on. It never works and I constantly sit around waiting for celestial intervention. Unfortunately that seems to have little or no effect at all so it usually means giving up and hoping for the best!

After the ordeal I return home and tackle the mounting mess that awaits me. I make a cup of Earl Grey and walk upstairs to the top of the house and begin work. The first hour I look at the work from the previous day and make any changes necessary before beginning on the next painting. I often have a few paintings on the go and the use of oils is ideal to give me that amount of flexibility.

I can never work in silence. I grew up in a large family and so silence is something that is alien to me. I listen to the radio or sometimes play my own music. I find however, music can alter the outcome of my paintings depending on what I play so I tend to choose the music carefully.

I carry straight through to about 3.00pm and head off to pick “The Monkey Boys” up from school. In the winter this is usually the end of my working day as I don’t like to paint in dull light. In summer however I work late into the evening and “The Monkey Boys” usually play around me whilst I carry on painting. I don’t play any music when the boys are around because there isn’t the silence, just familiarity.

When writing your marketing plan it’s important that you differentiate yourself from the competition by finding a real point of distinction. Just the way it’s critical that you have a unique product orservice to find success, it’s also essential that you approach your marketing in your own way. There are lots of ways you can creatively market your product, or else look for ways to approach things differently. Just be sure to write your marketing plan is such a way that it contains solid methods that will put you closer to your goals. There are enough evergreen marketing and advertising approaches that perform well if executed properly.

If you are not in the habit of reviewing your business, then you are missing out on opportunities for improvement and growth. What about the monthly breakdown of profit and losses for your business? Do you even track this data?

Do you know how to calculate these numbers, or do you use software? Of course a lot depends on your particular business model, but there are metrics that all businesses have and can use. If customer service is a part of your business, then do you know how well it performs? How well does your business perform with keeping new customers? Business and life are all about feedback and hopefully taking actions to improve as much as possible.

Let’s say you are planning an email marketing campaign. First of all, you need to make sure that you have a quality email list. If you don’t have your own email data then there are specialist email list companies where you can purchase business email lists at reasonable cost. Once you have your list you need to plan your email campaign carefully in order to get the best results. You should use an email sendout platform that includes tracking statistics, so that you can monitor the effectiveness of the email marketing campaign. This will give you very valuable feedback that you can use for future campaigns.

You should know the importance of timelines; show in your marketing plan when your activities incur any kind of costs and when clearly write the starting and as well as the ending point of each component. In a real way this plan will help to keep you accountable, and when you are working alone that can really be a big help. Another factor that you need to work on is control – build in effective controls into your plan that will allow you to keep track of your performance. There are a number of methods, and you just need to find what works best for you. In addition, be sure to give your self goals and expected results for each method you choose to use.

You really do need a marketing plan regardless of how small your business is. Just execute the process in the correct way, and it will not be as hard as it may sound.

A social media marketing campaign is about marketing, without a call to action it’s nothing. A strong and clear call to action is usually toward the end of your message, and it should never be left out. If you want to build a list by gathering leads, then social marketing is great for that. One thing about a call to action is it cannot be weak, but at the same time you cannot be rude about it either. Don’t be vague when calling your prospects to take an action – be straightforward and immediate. So many talk about Facebook all the time, and it is important, but we have to move on to the significance of YouTube. You have to choose your battles and marketing wisely, and that is just about maximizing your efforts. Your whole aim should be to take your social media marketing to a whole new level by using the appropriate network for your campaigns. Just think about what you are marketing, and even a service based business can easily benefit from video and YouTube. One thing we always live by is having the willingness to work harder and offer more to our audience, and that is a strategy that will rarely fail you. But do not forget about outsourcing, and that is the greatest way to leverage your time.

Successful social media marketing campaigns are dressed with the respective brand in every way. In other words, you should go beyond the rest when it comes to adding elements from your brand to your campaign. Anything that defines your business’s identity should be used in your campaign so that you clearly know where you’re headed, and your prospects know where you’re coming from.

How you brand your business means it has to be very relevant in some way with the product and niche. One thing about social media is the numbers for traffic can be so great that you can quickly make a huge impression and get branded fast.

You will find that very many aspects of social media marketing are similar to any other kind of marketing. For example, email marketing is similar in that you must target your audience carefully and also include a specific call to action in your email campaigns. It is also important that you obtain an accurate business email list so that you are targeting the right businesses.

The debt management plan works by consolidating all of the debtor’s monthly payments into a single affordable and realistic monthly repayment. Debt management takes into account the circumstances of the debtor and determines a realistic monthly payment amount. The calculation take into account the necessary monthly outgoings of the debtor including mortgage payments, rent, food and utilities and creates a repayment amount from the disposable income that remains. This means that the debtor’s earnings are protected for monthly essentials and only the remaining funds will be used to repay creditors. Moreover, as the debtor’s financial position changes for better or worse, the monthly payments can be adjusted.

The debt management service mediates between creditors and debtors in order to reach an agreement concerning the repayment of debts. Once agreement has been reached the debtor will pay a single monthly repayment to the debt management service which will then be forwarded onto the creditors. Moreover, after the agreement interest is usually charged at a reduced rate or even frozen altogether. Also, after the agreement is in place creditors cannot pressurise debtors into selling property or assets or encourage further borrowing in order to pay off their debts.

The free debt advice that is provided can help debtors to avoid their current situation in the future but also help them to manage the current situation in the best possible way. Such debt help can be invaluable in managing debts and maintaining a positive attitude while paying off debts and finishing the process of becoming debt free. Combined the assistance of a debt management plan, debt help can provide a final solution to debt problems and ensure that the situation is not recurring.

By taking control of debts, debtors can be sure to halt the spiralling process of numerous debts with numerous interest payments and numerous charges. By consolidating all debts under a single debt management plan debtors can ensure that monthly repayments are realistic and affordable without having to compromise the necessities in life. By keep up with the plan as laid out by debt management debtors can be sure to become debt free and the end of the period without having to put life on hold in the meantime. With additional debt management advice debtors can become debt free in the shortest possible period of time with the minimum amount of hardship and with peace of mind that the debt will not increase with additional interest or charges.

One option that is available to those in this precarious position is individual voluntary arrangements or IVA. The IVA provides an attractive alternative to bankruptcy and allows individuals to negotiate with creditors over the repayment of the remaining debt. The agreement will take into account the debtor’s monthly income and calculate a realistic monthly repayment from the debtor’s disposable income, thereby reducing pressures on the family’s basic living costs. Once agreed, the repayment scheme becomes a part of a legally binding contract which must be honoured by both parties. The debtor can still be forced into bankruptcy if they do not honour the new terms that have been agreed.

In order to take advantage of individual voluntary agreements the debtor must be at least £15,000 in debt. Payments are usually made over a five year period, after which up to 75% of the debt can be written off. However, an IVA can only proceed if 75% of the creditors to whom money is owed agree to the conditions. When taking up IVA advice debtors can benefit hugely and turn large, burdensome and unrealistic debts into manageable monthly repayments while allowing the family to maintain a reasonable standard of living.

IVA help is easily accessible and can make a real difference to the financial situation of an individual or a family. Once an IVA is agreed with creditors and made legally binding, they cannot add additional interest or charges to the debt as the agreement is fixed by law. The IVA offers a considerably more attractive alternative to the bankruptcy of an individual and all of the associated consequences and repercussions. Individual voluntary arrangements allow life to continue despite huge looming debts and remove the overhanging burden of constant financial constraint.

Individual voluntary arrangements can make a real and life changing difference for those who have considerable debts. By taking control of debts which loom over every aspect of life the debtor can regain some sense of financial control and can see an end to the current debt situation. IVA help can reduce debt considerably by writing off up to 75% of the debt after the five year period and ensuring that the debt cannot be increased through charges or additional interest. What is more, the debtor can have peace of mind that the IVA is legally binding and therefore changes cannot be made to it after it has been agreed.
