Join the NCEA for its Orlando prep class June 1
NCEA
A prep class is an interactive study group that allows the candidate to further their knowledge development. It's an excellent way to "brush-up" on skills and develop a nurturing mentor relationship with your instructor. It also provides more interaction than if you've only used the self-study method.
The discounted prep class fee of $125 has even been extended up until June 1. To register, please call 800-335-7469.

The Great Gatsby makeup: How Carey Mulligan became Daisy Buchanan
Allure
F. Scott Fitgerald didn't actually spend much time describing Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. He may have hinted that she had dark, glossy hair, but in Baz Luhrmann's new movie version, out this Friday, Carey Mulligan's Daisy is an ash blonde. True to the original text, however, she's a total stunner. Makeup artist Maurizio Silvi and hairstylist Kerry Warn told us how they turned Mulligan into the woman of Jay Gatsby's dreams.

How to increase your social media ROI
American Express OPEN Forum
While social media is clearly here to stay, a recent Manta poll reveals that 61 percent of the small-business owners surveyed have yet to see a return on investment from the effort. Was that time wasted? Not necessarily. The takeaway from the survey: Social media success — the number of business opportunities that come from online platforms — can't be calculated simply by looking at the time invested in social media. How and where that time is invested may be more important.
