Problem: Article: Sometimes an Epsom salt bath is needed or desired, but there just isn’t enough time. An Epsom salt paste is the answer to that problem because it can be used in the shower. Add a quarter of a cup (59 mL) of olive oil to Epsom salt. Use just enough Epsom salt to create a spreadable paste. You can apply the paste to your hand, loofah, or cloth. Apply the paste to one problem area, or your whole body. Scrub for a few minutes in total. You can also let the paste sit on one part of your body while you shampoo your hair or shave your legs. Once you have scrubbed, rinse off the paste. Make sure there isn’t any gritty paste left on your body before stepping out of the shower.
Summary: Add olive oil to Epsom salt. Scrub with the paste. Rinse off the paste.

Problem: Article: When determining your method of posting your job ad, you have to figure out what medium is likely to reach the best and brightest employees for the position. Consider the essential functions, as well as skills and qualifications needed in order to determine which mediums are best for recruitment.  Various means for posting jobs include online career websites, college career boards, newspapers, social media, recruiting cards, job fairs, and employee referrals.  Ads should be posted for a minimum of ten days for support staff positions, and a minimum of fifteen days for management positions. “Open until filled” is the recommended option, which keeps the posting viewable until the position is filled. Utilize as many mediums as necessary to ensure a qualified pool of candidates. The human resources manager or search committee should view all applications and supplemental materials, such as cover letters, resumes, transcripts, etc. When assessing a candidate, you should keep in mind what you are seeking in a candidate, such as experience, education, and skills that were listed in the job description. A short list is a list of applicants who have been determined to possess the skills and qualifications necessary to effectively function in the position. Short lists can also be used to determine if the candidate pool is sufficiently diverse. The shortlist usually contains three to five potential candidates for interview.  It is common practice to screen candidates by phone to help narrow the field of applicants. Be prepared by having a list of potential screening questions to help determine if the applicant has potential. Telephone questions should be open-ended such as "Why are you interested in this position?" and "What specific skills would you bring to our team?" The interview is considered to be the most important step in the recruitment process because it gives both parties a chance to learn more about one another. Before the interview, employers should prepare by determining the format of the interview, questions to be posed to the candidate, and the preferred start date for the position.  Determine what format you will use for your interview, and who will be present. Interviews can be conducted in many ways including a face-to-face interview, a panel interview, or a virtual interview. In addition, the interview may be conducted by one person or a committee of persons. Behavioral questions and competency questions should seek to learn more information about a candidate’s on-the-job abilities and characteristics. For example, try a question such as, “describe your previous experiences working with grant writing”.  Use a set of ten to twelve consistent questions so that you are better able to compare candidate responses.  Always notify candidates about when you will finalize your decision, and how you will notify them. After all interviews are complete, your search committee or hiring manager will assess how closely each candidate met the selection criteria outlined in the job description. Be sure to document your decision and ensure that the candidate was chosen based on qualifications alone in order to avoid breaking federal laws employed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity commission. The EOCC states that it is illegal to discriminate against an applicant based on their race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, nation of origin, age, disability, or genetic information. You can run a background check to reveal any potential issues including criminal records, state licensing records, military records, and more. In addition, employment checks can be performed to determine how an employee performed and behaved at their previous places of employment.  Candidates are required to sign consent forms to authorize a potential employer to complete employment and background checks. For employment verification, describe the position and then ask the former employer, “Given the requirements discussed, what is your assessment of the individual’s qualifications for this position?” Ask follow-up questions to obtain more specific responses about job performance and abilities. Background and reference checks should be conducted before an official offer is made to the candidate. This will help to guarantee that there will be no issues that hinder completion of the hiring process.
Summary: Determine the medium of posting and post an ad. Review applicants. Develop a short list. Conduct an interview. Narrow it down to one final applicant. Complete various human resources checks.

Problem: Article: Most sex shops sell sets of dice with sexy commands printed on them — for example, one dice roll might return “Kiss” and “Neck”. These are a fun way to explore different areas of each other’s bodies. Begin with you and your partner each writing a key fantasy on a piece of paper. Next, play a competitive game (e.g., poker, Go Fish, Monopoly, or even a video game). The winner of the game gets his/her fantasy acted out.  Be realistic with your fantasy. Make sure that it won’t hurt the other person’s feelings or be too expensive to achieve. Choose your game wisely. A game like Monopoly may take hours to finish, which is fine as long as you’re not planning to act out the fantasy directly afterwards, as you might both be tired by then! Leave messages containing codes and riddles for your partner to find. These should lead him/her to a sexy location where you’re waiting. Just make sure that your clues/riddles aren’t too difficult to decipher, otherwise you’ll be waiting a long time, and your partner might show up feeling frustrated and tired instead of aroused!
Summary: Roll some sexy dice. Compete to have your fantasy acted out. Have a sexy scavenger hunt.

Problem: Article: Avoid horizontal stripes and excessive patterns. These will draw unwanted attention to your body that you may be trying to avoid. Solid colors are a safer choice if you want to appear slimmer.  The tried and true rule is that black is generally very slimming and flattering. Sticking with darker colors are a safe bet because brighter/lighter colors draw attention to your body and are less effective at camouflaging certain trouble areas. If you do choose a pattern, think vertical. Any vertical stripes or patterns that flow vertically will follow the length of your body and elongate it rather than cutting it off like horizontal patterns would. Statistics show that many women wear the incorrect bra size on a daily basis. Go to a store and get professionally fitted for a bra. The store clerk will make sure you figure out the exact right size for you. If your bra is too small, it can make you look top-heavy; if your bra is too big, it will make you look frumpy.  A well-fitting bra can also have a minimizing effect for women who feel they are too top-heavy. Wearing shapewear garments under your clothing will help slim your figure, smooth out lines, and give you better posture. All of these are good things that will help your clothes look more flattering. A wide belt (not a skinny belt) will help hide your tummy if that is a problem area for you. Sparkly earrings or exciting headbands can draw attention away from your body and direct people to look elsewhere. In general, shoes that stop at your ankle or have ankle straps will make your legs look shorter and cut off the smooth lines of your body. Instead, go with some tall boots or ballet flats. And of course, heels make everyone’s legs look great.
Summary:
Know what designs work best. Wear a bra that is the right size. Invest in some shapewear. Choose the right accessories. Pick flattering shoes.
