Have you ever think how many hands can touch the same bill the same day?

Yesterday, I went to get my nails done; I was sitting waiting for the lady to finish my nails, when I saw the girl sitting beside me paying with $20 bills. One of the bills was unique, because it had the right corner painted of dark purple. After twenty minutes, the lady that was doing my nails finished and told me how much it was; I paid with cash and when she was giving me the change, Oh Surprise! I saw the same $20 bill with the purple corner in my hands. After there, I went to Wal-Mart to buy some food, when I paid I took from my wallet the same $20 bill and gave it to the cashier.

There is no doubt about it; a lot of cash changes hands in retail environments. Although many retailers now accept credit and debit cards, a majority of customers still prefer to use cash just like the lady sitting beside me paying with cash and I did at the nails place.

I actually would say that in many transactions, cash slips through the hands of an average of six to eight different people oftentimes touched by the same person multiple times, just like happened with the $20 bill at the nails place and at Wal-Mart.

What’s wrong with the media?

I was working out at the gym when I took a magazine, started reading the section called “The Rader Program” it was about helping people with eating disorders. They received a poem by a 21 year old client saying: “help me I always wanted to be Beautiful (thin), Tall, Rich, Successful, perfect... Perfect like those girls showed in your magazines.

This is the kind of perception that Magazines puts into people's mind, that everyone that is thin is perfectly beautiful. Media most of the time makes woman realize that they are not skinny and that their lives are terrible compared to those women just because they do not look like them. They stop appreciating what they have and start wanting more.

Media and commercials almost always show women who are skinny and beautiful, also show products to make consumers pretty with skinny models that would look good with anything. You almost never see a unattractive, size 10 woman as a protagonist in a popular TV show or commercial, models/actresses are pretty, skinny and have the perfect job, perfect friends and the prefect boyfriend. I was wondering where all those people want to get putting these ideas in our minds.

Live Simply

Why it is that as we get older that time goes by so fast; weeks seem like a few days, years like a few months and I have come to a conclusion, a year has always been a year long, a week has always been a week, and one come to the conclusion that it is not actually the time goes by so fast, but is how we perceive the time.

When we are kids, we live our lives one day at the time and enjoying every minute we have playing with our little friends. We look forward for tomorrow, but beyond that we do not think about much else. When we are adults, we tend to look toward much complicated and big goals, such as goals that won’t be achieved for one day or two, which for some can be a week to two weeks away.

Life is too short and we should live it like any kid would, enjoying every minute we have. Laugh when you can and apologize when you should. Love deeply and take chances give everything and have no regret. Learn from your mistakes but never regret, people change and things go wrong, but always remember LIFE GOES ON.

“The Power of Marketing”

Marketing is the wide range of activities involved in making sure that any business meet the needs of their customers and introduce their products to them.

The TV is showing this commercial of the “NEW Lash Stiletto™ Mascara”, from Maybelline, New York. The commercial affirms that this is the only mascara that does for your lashes what stilettos do for legs. The commercial also mention that the Grip & Extend brush grasps each lash and coats from every angle, and the elastic formula stretches lashes for provocative length.

After watching the same commercial every time that the commercial came up in the TV, I found myself buying this new mascara. I tried the mascara, I liked it but it did not feel like the mascara made my lashes look longer. The commercial advertised the mascara and then invited me to get the mascera and for this you can tell that this commercila is a good example of the power of marketing that any company has.
