She hangs from an 18" sterling silver cable chain, and she is hand-made with one simple word, "dream," etched on her back. Hang her round your neck and keep that thought close to your heart, always. Pair with practically anything! Personally, I’d wear it with a cute summer dress. 2. Tiny Smitten Necklace Price: $22.00 at etsy.com What a lovely way to warm a girl's heart than a pretty little mitten on an 18" silver-plated ball chain necklace? Choose from sky blue, turquoise, or bubble gum pink. Each mitten is nearly two inches long, and is made with a hand-pressed stamp, distressed, then sealed with clear gloss. Each one is unique, and each one is so lovely! 3. Bird on a Branch Vinyl Passport Case Price: $8.00 at etsy.com Protect your passport and keep in handy in this adorable little cover. It has two pockets, one for your passport, one for other essentials, like cash, debit cards, and the like. It's made of thick, durable 12-gauge vinyl, and features a white bird on an olive-green branch. |

But what I liked even less were the times when I would mess up. A common boss will jump down your throat faster than you can say “Oops.” Repeat your mistakes a couple of times and suddenly your job might be in danger. Why? Because you made your boss look bad in the eyes of their own boss. This is the typical work scenario but when you work from home, you won’t have issues like that. No need to please someone you may not even like. 9. You do not have to drive to work. Photo Credit: blessedmom Photography I don't know about you but I hate that commute to work every morning. I hate the rush of getting the kids ready, dropping them off at school, and sitting in traffic. And then you arrive at work only to walk through the doors with the boss standing there looking at the clock. When you work from home, you will be avoiding that rush. You will be on your own time. You can get the kids ready for school without rushing (as long as they're on time). You also get to watch them walk through the school building doors safely. 8. You will save gas. Photo Credit: Neato Coolville I like the fact that I do not have to drive to work. Before, I spent $10.00 or more a day on gas. Yes, my car is a gas hog, but now, I have no complaints. I save money on gas. Not to mention the fact that I do not put as much mileage on the vehicle. And the money I save, can be spent on shopping sprees or go to my vacation fund! |

I use highlighters and each color represents the importance of the assignment and it helps me plan my work better. Use a calendar and write the assignments under the due dates and 2 weeks before that due date, prepare for that assignment. This allows yourself time to study as well keep the assignment fresh in your head.2. Talk to your teacherKeeping open communication will help you better understand the assignments when you study. Engage in conversations about the subject with the teacher. Make it a one on one session with light coffee talk, so that it doesn't feel like your being grilled or it's a study session.3. Find a place to study in peace Home doesn't always work and neither does the library. I find parks, and places with water help me to study, especially during my exams. Water is so calming and a quiet park can be relaxing! |

There are no laws that say you have to behave a certain way because you have reached a particular age. Photo Credit: Mark Lapwood 2. Hang around with older people. By this, I mean the over 80s. To them, anyone under 50 is a youngster, and they treat you like you are only about 20. This method is tried and tested by myself. Photo Credit: Alexia Sinclair 3. Don't avoid certain styles because of your age. If you've got the legs for it, why shouldn't you wear a mini over 40? Conversely, some fashions are best left to the young. Let them look daft while you look stylish. In short, if something makes you feel good, wear it. Photo Credit: floridapfe |
