article: One of the greatest benefits of having an accurate inventory system is that you can plan your purchases accordingly, so you don't have to store more inventory than you need. Determine how much of each product group you need for each business day, and then decide how often you will restock (weekly, monthly, etc.). Multiply the daily needed product quantity by the length between your shopping trips, and add two to five extra days for increased demand. This is how much of the product you need on hand after a purchase — it is enough to meet your business needs until your next purchase, plus a little extra (generally two to five days). To determine how much you need to purchase each time you restock, you need to know how much of the product you currently have on hand, and subtract that amount from your desired quantity.  The greater the fluctuation in demand for your products, the more extra product you should have in addition to what you need to run your business. When deciding on inventory levels, you should also consider the difficulty of getting more product if you run out ahead of schedule. If you are a coffee shop and you are ordering low, it's not difficult to run out and buy a few extra gallons of milk. On the other hand, if you are a dentist ordering your supply of nitrous oxide, you might want to keep more spare product on hand, as running out would present a greater problem. As an example, imagine that as a hair dresser, you generally use one bottle of shampoo a day, and you would like to restock only once a month. That means after restock you want to have 33 bottles of shampoo (31 for each day of the month, and two extra). When it's time to order new shampoo, you still have seven bottles of shampoo remaining. You subtract seven from 33, and order 26 bottles of shampoo. If you've invested in an inventory management system, there are many features that you can use to manage your purchasing as well. If you don't want to make bulk purchasing trips, and instead order from multiple vendors who deliver to you, you can program your inventory system to alert you whenever you reach a low quantity in a specific group. Some systems will even order inventory for you, just based on the level of supply you have on hand. This method is more expensive than manual inventory and purchasing, but in a large business with lots of inventory, it can save a significant amount of time and headache.  Like in the shampoo example above, if you have an automated inventory system where you scan each bottle as you bring it out of storage, your system may allow you to automate restock purchases of shampoo. You program the system to order 30 new shampoo bottles from your vendor whenever you get down to five bottles in inventory. Even if you don't automate purchases, your inventory system can likely alert you when your product is running out. You can use these reminders to know when to place manual orders, instead of always placing them at specific intervals. As you run your business over time, you will get more and more accurate at predicting your inventory needs. If you regularly notice you have a lot of product on hand when you go to make purchases, reduce your necessary inventory level. You only want to have a slight amount more than you need, because you pay for the storage and potential waste costs of your unused inventory.

article: To manage your business finances, you must choose either the cash or accrual accounting method and use it consistently. With the cash method, you record sales and expenses when money actually changes hands. For the accrual method, on the other hand, you record sales and expenses when they take place, rather than when money changes hands.  For example, suppose you are a construction contractor and you receive an invoice. If you were using the cash method, you would record the expense in your books when you actually paid the invoice. However, if you were using the accrual method you would record it the day you received it, even if you didn't pay it for several days or weeks. Cash accounting works better if you have a small business that deals primarily with point-of-sale transactions. If you deal with larger contracts that aren't paid all at once, the accrual method may be a better option for you. Set up a system so that all sales and expenses are put on the books the day they occur, following the accounting method you've chosen. Only doing the books on a monthly or quarterly basis may result in errors.  If you have a store, you can use a point of sale system to track sales and produce reports that you can easily use to reconcile your books each day. When you have employees or other partners buying things for the business, make sure you get those receipts as soon as possible so you can keep your books up to date. There are a number of bookkeeping programs, such as QuickBooks, that you can purchase and use to manage your business finances. Most of these programs are arranged so that you pay a monthly subscription fee to use the service.  When you use a subscription, software-as-a-service platform, your data is stored in the cloud so that you don't have to worry as much about security or data loss. These programs can be connected to your business bank accounts, credit cards, and other systems so that much of the information is entered into your books automatically. If you don't have accounting and bookkeeping education and experience, you may want to hire someone who does. Particularly if you've borrowed money to start up your business, a professional can help you avoid potentially costly mistakes.  Check with the local licensing or regulatory authority to make sure any financial professional you want to hire has all the necessary education and certifications, and that their licenses are active and free of any disciplinary actions. If you can't afford to have someone working for your business full-time, you may be able to consult with an accountant periodically, or use a bookkeeper occasionally to go over your books and correct any errors.

article:
Wash and dry your face as usual, either over a sink or in the shower, and use warm to hot water to open your pores. It might be a good idea to use a gentle facial cleanser before applying this mask, especially if you have sensitive skin. Lemon juice can be harsh, and stressing your skin with too much abrasive material can do more harm than good. When your face is clean and dry, use your fingers to apply the lemon-honey mask all over the skin. Work carefully to avoid the eye area.  This mask can cause stinging and irritation to the eyes. If you accidentally get it into your eyes, flush it out immediately with cool to lukewarm water for a full minute, or until the stinging stops. The mask can also be quite sticky, so it's a good idea to make sure hair is pulled back and out of the way before application. The wait time is important; if you rinse the mask off too quickly, the honey and lemon won't have enough time to do their work. Of course, if your skin starts to burn, itch, or otherwise feel uncomfortable, you should rinse the mask off immediately. It's possible that your skin is having a negative reaction to the mask if you experience these symptoms. When the waiting period ends, rinse the mask off your face using warm water. After finishing the warm water rinse, do a second rinse with cool water to close your pores. You can also wipe away the mask with a warm, slightly damp wash cloth. The wash cloth acts as a physical exfoliator. Use gentle patting motions when using this trick, however, to avoid irritating your skin. The exact frequency with which you apply the mask may vary depending on how sensitive or oily your skin is, but a good average is about once a week, either in the morning or evening. You can try applying the mask two to three times a week if you have notably oily or acne-prone skin, but cut back if you notice any redness, irritation, or increased amounts of acne.
