How To Wean Yourself Off Coffee

The truth about making money from home










One of the first things for you to realize about coffee is that, in moderation, not only is "not bad" for you, but is actually beneficial; of course, by the same token, you should never put more than 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine into your body per day, which is equal to about two or three cups, and if you are drinking more than this each day – or if you simply think you are addicted to coffee and would like to change this - you will want to understand how you can scale back.

If your body is used to drinking coffee first thing in the morning, you will not be doing yourself any favors if you cut yourself off from coffee completely; rather, the best approach for morning coffee drinkers is to gradually push back time of day when you have your coffee, moving it back 15 minutes or half an hour at a time, doing so gradually so that your body does not notice much of a difference.

If, on the other hand, not typically do not drink your coffee until later in the day, you can start to gradually scale back the amount of coffee you drink; you should not put caffeine into your body any later than eight hours before you go to bed, so once you reach this point in the day with your coffee drinking, you will be at a place where you can start scaling back gradually rather than gradually pushing the time later.

And as you begin to seriously scale back your coffee drinking, another thing that will help is finding a way to replace this energy you are used to getting; a few great ways to consider are replacing that coffee with fruit, with other healthy foods, or even with a couple pieces of dark chocolate, which will get you some sugar and some caffeine without being too unhealthy!

It is really not that difficult to scale back on your coffee drinking, as long as you take the proper steps; keep these tips in mind as you work toward this goal yourself, and soon you will be drinking as little coffee as you want – or even, no coffee at all!

How To Become A Movie Extra

The truth about making money from home










When you watch a movie, you may notice that there are usually a lot of extra people in each scene that are doing nothing but walking around, saying no lines and playing no role, and serving no real purpose except to simply be there; these people, of course, are called extras, and while some of these people are certainly being extras on movies because they hope to break into Hollywood themselves, a lot of other extras in movies are simply people who thought it would be fun to be an extra in a movie! If you have ever thought that being in a movie might be fun - even though you have never really acted before and have no real desire to be an actor - here are a few things you will need to know about becoming an extra in a movie.

If you live in one of the areas where the filming of movies is common, such as Southern California or New York City, becoming an extra in a movie will be a whole lot easier for you, as there will be a lot more movies being filmed around you; if you live in these areas, simply keep an eye out in newspapers and local periodicals for ads for casting calls - but even if you do not live in a place where movies are filmed often, you can search online for casting calls of movies that may in fact be shooting in your area.

You will have to bring a headshot with you when you attend the casting call (even if you are not interested in being an actual "actor"), and you should bring a resume if you have ever been in any movies before; typically, casting calls are held in a large area, and the main thing they will be looking for is people who will fit in with the look of the movie, and who will be able to show up on the day when they are supposed to be there!

Becoming an extra on a movie is actually quite easy, as long as you simply show up to a few casting calls with a headshot and - if applicable - a resume; and once you have landed a "role" in the movie all you have to do is show up on the day of the shoot - and wait around until they need you, at which point you will be able to make your major motion picture debut!

Beard Trimming Techniques

The truth about making money from home










The beard is always a great addition for a man to make to his face, as the beard looks great, is comfortable, and protects the face in all sorts of inclement weather and uncomfortable situations - but for the first-time beard grower (and even for those who have cultivated a garden of hair on their face for a long time!), it can sometimes be difficult to know exactly how to trim the beard. While one's personal approach to beard growing and beard trimming is a solo search, this does not mean that you have to find your own way altogether; make sure you pay attention to these beard trimming tips, and you will be able to avoid the myriad mistakes made by your forbears.

Trimming around the beard will be the first thing you will want to learn about; many guys have a tendency, when they have first started growing the beard, to start trimming too early, and to trim too close to the beard itself - instead, you should wait through at least two full weeks of beard growing before giving your beard its first trim, and you should always start out "too wide" instead of "too narrow."

When trimming the beard itself, you will need to have a good idea of the length you want to keep, and then you should purchase a good beard trimmer that can help you maintain this length; without a good beard trimmer, you will have a hard time keeping your beard at the length you desire.

And even after you have used the beard trimmer on your beard, you will still find some long hairs or some uneven spots that you will want to clean up; make sure you use a good pair of scissors to clean up these spots, instead of making the mistake so many men make of going in with the beard trimmer and buzzing too close!

With these tips in hand, you will be well on your way to forging your own path, with a beard of your own that is both beautiful and magnificent!
