You’ll have to wait, and complete your personal maintenance chores first.

Weighing six pounds and stretching about 20 square feet, our skin is the largest organ. Moisturize daily to keep skin moist and supple while providing protection from the environment.

Styling your hair, applying makeup and adding accessories to your outfit are all optional, but looking good makes you feel better and boosts confidence. Now go ask for that raise!

Poor oral health is linked to several medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease so take flossing and brushing seriously. And appreciate that fresh minty flavor while you’re at it… early homemade toothpastes included such ingredients as crushed bones, oyster shells, chalk, pulverized brick and salt.
