Hearing the words "needle" and "face" in the same sentence is enough to send you running away faster than your race pace. Breathe — it's actually way less scary than it sounds. To put it simply, microneedling uses a tool with supertiny needles on the tip, which can be adjusted from 0.5 to 2.5 millimeters in length, to create microscopic holes in the top layer of the skin. This "precise injury," as the pros refer to it, stimulates collagen and elastin production in your skin.
If you're interested in trying microneedling, you have two options: Try your hand with an at-home device or have a pro do the poking in-office.

Massage therapy, one of today's most popular spa services, provides many phenomenal benefits. Research conducted by Dr. Tiffany Fields at the Touch Research Institute shows that massage can reduce stress levels, help manage or reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression, may increase the immune system's functionality and may release endorphins, which act as a pain reliever.

Natalie Reilly writes: "Trying to soften our skin can lead to an even thicker layer of dead skin cells on the surface.
'If you don't do it, it's like not brushing your teeth.'
Do you remember that line? It's actually more than 25 years old. It comes from a television ad for a skin cleanser, marketed directly at teenage girls. Back in the 1990s, it wasn't so much 'You're Worth It' as 'You're Kinda Gross'.
And the advertising seemed to work. A little too well, it would seem. Because if I remember my teens correctly, my friends and I (arguably the most insecure demographic on the planet) were almost addicted to scrubbing our faces. The harsher the ingredients, the better. Fast forward to December 2016, and in the U.S., a class-action lawsuit has been brought against St. Ives Apricot Scrub."

Don't schedule that relaxing Saturday-morning massage the day after partying.
Why? Think of what happens right after you get a massage. Usually, the therapist will offer you water.
That's because when you get a massage, you often feel dehydrated.
So coming to a massage hung over, when your body may already feel that way, isn't your best bet.
"Massage moves fluids in the body," said Dennis Frymire, a therapist at Massage Envy in Chicago. "If you are dehydrated, that is only going to heighten the feeling of dehydration after."
In other words, you might feel even more hung over.

"Continuing education in the field of esthetics is of the upmost importance to show that skin care is much more than relaxation and 'fluff.' NCEA provides me the knowledge to inform clients that this is a fact."

Say you have a big pitch coming up. You make an impressive agenda, put together a killer deck, and practice answering hard questions. But there's a problem. This is all focused on the middle and end of your pitch, and it skips over the most important part: the first two seconds. And if you don't nail those, guess what? Your hard work is irrelevant.

We are all familiar with customer complaint hotlines in their various forms — in many ways it admits a certain kind of defeat where we are saying "we are ready for you to complain about something." In fact, it looks like these businesses are so certain that people will complain that they have gone to great lengths to be ready for the complaints to come flowing in.
Of course the message they are trying to send is that they listen.

 Imagine if you could connect with a large number of millennials, answer their top questions and help them effortlessly purchase from you. Did we mention you don't have to say a single word in the process? With Facebook's chatbots, you can do this, right now. So, what exactly is a chatbot? Essentially, it's an artificially intelligent computer program that answers your customers' questions. As of Sept. 12, 2016, there were already 30,000 chatbots on Facebook.

 Studies have confirmed that messages on users' social media feeds could significantly influence people's views — whether it comes to politics or a company's brand. Though social media influence can be a benefit — like promoting voter turnout — it can also have a downside. The perception versus reality of events can have a tendency to feel completely different. I experienced the difference recently during the 2017 Inauguration Parade.

The study, conducted by the University of California, Irvine, assessed how teachers exposed to "46 hours of training in the 'cognitive strategies' instructional approach" would affect student learning, says Science Daily. Called the Pathway Project, the study provided students in 16 Anaheim Union High School District schools during the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school years with a writing assessment designed specifically for the study. The assessment was provided to students through the California High School Exit Exam, to which it was attached for the duration of the study.

They learn on the job, with the help of teacher-leaders who provide real-life examples of how personalized learning works in the classroom.
