Q: You should leave the cream on for an hour or so to make sure that it thoroughly works its magic on the temporary tattoo.
A: Let the cold cream sink into the skin.

Q: Your body can only take so much exercise before it breaks down. As such, it is important not to set workout regimens that are far beyond your body’s physical capabilities. Also, keep in mind that changing your lifestyle in minor ways (walking or biking instead of driving, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.) can increase the amount of physical exercise you get throughout the day, making intensive workout sessions less necessary. Setting goals that are too steep can create a negative environment and cause you to give up. Try setting smaller goals, week-by-week, instead of big goals that seem unobtainable. It is important to know what your body is capable of with regards to exercise. If you have bad knees, avoid running or jogging on hard surfaces. If you have a heart condition or other ailment, be sure to check with a medical professional about workout regimens that will be safe for you. Make sure you prepare your body for the workout ahead by stretching your muscles prior to exercising. This will help you avoid injuries. Stretching afterward will help prevent soreness. Be aware that injuries while working out essentially put your weight loss plans on hold. A pulled muscle or torn tendon will stop you from working out for weeks or months at a time and you will gain all the weight you lost right back. While a “low-impact” workout might sound detrimental to losing weight quickly, this simply means avoid unnecessary strain on your joints and muscles during workouts. Walking and jogging are effective and proven alternatives to running. Various machines, such as ellipticals, stair-climbers, and rowing machines, will ensure your body is not taking on unnecessary strain during cardio workouts. In addition to running, jogging, swimming or walking, simple exercises like arm circles, up down planks, squats, leg lifts,plie squat rises,bench dips, kicks, duck walks, lunges, and other exercises can all be useful techniques to help you lose weight. Make sure you keep track of your pulse, breathing, and heart rate during the workout to be certain your body is handling the strain of the exercise properly. If you notice any sudden or irregular changes in your body functions, see a doctor or medical professional immediately. Working out every once in a while will have little to no impact on your body weight. Once you have established an exercise plan, stick to it on a daily basis. There are two reasons for this. First, you will only lose weight when exercise is carried out consistently. Secondly, intermittent or periodic workouts will ultimately make it harder for you to achieve your weight loss goals because they do not contribute to increasing the time or intensity you can put into exercise. Results can take time. Stick to it and remember that all things worth having may take a while. It will be challenging but worth it. If you don’t have a scale, get one! In order to ensure that your workout is helping you lose weight, you need to be able to track your weight. Weight loss through exercise will not happen instantaneously. It takes a long time to see measurable results and, on some occasions, you may gain weight before you lose it. Stick to your exercise plan and give it a chance to work.
A: Set reasonable weight loss goals. Ensure your body can handle exercise. Stretch before and after working out. Employ “low-impact” workouts. Monitor how your body is feeling throughout the workout. Be consistent. Assess your progress. Do not be discouraged.

Q: When you are notified you will have to reapply for your job, it is normal to have mixed emotions. This is a very stressful situation and you have every right to feel offended, angry, anxious, nervous and/or upset. No matter how you are feeling from the time you are notified through the decision process, it is important to remain calm at work and not let your emotions make matters worse. If you are overwhelmed by your emotions you may regret your actions, which may present a negative impression and minimize your chances of keeping your job. While it may seem you are sucking up by volunteering for extra projects, it is important to offer your assistance and show initiative. During company changes, coworkers and supervisors may be pulled in multiple directions and may need a helping hand until things calm down.  If you recognize the need for assistance and sincerely offer to help, you will be seen as loyal and dedicated to the company, your department and/or team. For example, your supervisor is very involved in the new and potential company changes and does not have time to head up weekly team meetings. You are the most senior employee on your team and have the leadership quality to head up the meetings in your supervisor's absence. Offering to assist with this task will take something off of your supervisor's plate and will be noted during your reapplication process. You want to make your value to the company known. Even though you are not in an interview, you must use any time spent with decision makers to your advantage by actively participating in meetings and sharing your ideas.  In doing so, you will offer your expertise and express your value to the company and hopefully get some extra points. For example, you contributed to the discussion about expanding markets during a meeting with your team, supervisor and the director of your department. You shared your idea of reaching out to a particular target market that is untapped and can benefit from the product. Expressing this insight can show your ability to think strategically and offer new ideas to benefit the company. It is important to always develop, strengthen and maintain working relationships with coworkers and management both inside and outside of your department. It is more so important to do this during a time of uncertainty with the company.  Having sincere and strong working relationships can help others view you as an integral part of the company with ties to various areas. When there is turmoil in the company and people are trying to hold their jobs, there is no shame in leveraging these relationships to your benefit by remaining a positive contributor to the company and a true fit for the company culture. Staying calm and being patient will be very difficult during this time of uncertainty. If you are good at your job, provide great value to the company, and followed the steps listed above, you have done all you can do to keep your job. It is now up to your employer and you must wait for that decision to be made. Stay positive and hang in there!
A:
Keep your feelings under control. Volunteer for extra projects and tasks. Actively participate in meetings. Strengthen your work relationships. Be patient during the decision making process.
