Prom-Day Prep

The big day is finally here! What you do during the day can have a major impact on youll look and feel tonight. Here are some smart prom-day strategies.

Dont forget food

Skipping meals so you can fit into your outfit is not a smart strategy. Fasting will leave you weak, tired and majorly moody come prom timeand thats no fun. A few light meals throughout the day will give you the ongoing oomph you need to have a blast at night. Some good-for-you, energy-boosting options include yogurt and cereal, eggs and toast, a whole-wheat bagel with peanut better, a turkey sandwich and snacks like fruit and cheese.

Give your locks luster

A deep conditioning treatment or hair mask can give limp locks the sudden surge they need to be your crowning glory. Leave on for 15-20 minutes under a shower cap or towel, then blow with a hair dryer for a few minutes before you rinse; the heat will help the conditioner penetrate.

Make nice to your nails

Nothing finishes off an outfit like well-groomed nails, and giving yourself a manicure is a cinch. Remove old polish, shape nails, then slick on pretty polish; try a clear or neutral shade or a hue that matches your dress. Feel like some extra-pampering? Grab some girlfriends and treat yourselves to professional manicures (your toes could use a treat too!).

Break a sweat

Doing something active will make you feel healthy and rev up those exercise-induced, feel-good chemicals in your brain. Any activity that significantly increases your heart rate will work: go for a run, climb your stairs ten times, take a bike ride or just do some jumping jacks, push ups and crunches while watching TV.

Catch some zs

Even though youve got lots to do today, taking a nap will help you relax and up your energy for the bigand probably latenight. Even just 20 minutes can revive and refresh. If you having trouble drifting off to dreamland, just laying in a dark, quiet room can help you mellow out.

Soak it up

A scented bubble bath will help relax your body and mind. Toss in some essential oils and it can also leave you soft and silky. Just dont soak longer than 20 minutes or skin can get wrinkled and dry.

Charge it

Tonights going to be one to remember so make sure youre ready to capture the memories on your camera or camcorder. Make sure batteries are charged and theres enough room on your memory card for all those pretty pics!

Here's How To Make Money From Home doing MLM - Without Sponsoring Anyone Or Selling Product

If you are in an MLM company struggling to make money and looking for a quick way to get cash flowing in fast and steady, this article will show you how to accomplish it.

Listen to this:

Not long ago I got a consulting call from someone who was in an MLM company. He was having a hard time making any money at all -- much less recouping his initial $1,800 investment.

He did not know where to go or who to turn to. All of the ideas and literature his company gave him weren't working but he still believed in the product.

Here is what I advised him to do:

I told him, first of all, forget about selling any product or sponsoring anyone for the time being.

He can still do all that, but for now, he needs to do something a bit different if he wants to make any money in his MLM business.

I told him that there were two things he could do:

1.) He can call and interview the top ten or so distributors at his company and ask them how they are making so much money.

In other words, what are they doing? How are they sponsoring or selling so much? Are they doing what their home company says? Or are they doing something different?

And what I told him he could do is take these interviews and do mini "joint ventures" with each person he interviews, selling that product to their downlines and splitting the profits.

That is the first idea I suggested.

2.) The second idea is to do the same thing, except make it more generic. Take out all the company specific stuff and sell it to all MLM people in general.

In other words, you are selling all the best sponsoring and product sales techniques and showing all MLM people -- not just those in your business -- how to do them.

And that's all there is to it.

The idea here is to merge your network marketing business with an "information" marketing business. Get the best of both worlds.

There are a ton of hungry prospects out there wanting to make it big in MLM. If you can be the person with the secrets -- whether you are selling to people in your own company or people in all MLM companies -- you can make a fortune selling this kind of information.
