We already know that stress can affect your health, longevity, and your psyche. But what about the direct effects on your skin? Studies show that there is a powerful connection between your mind and your skin, and 30% of all dermatology patients have some underlying psychological issue causing worsening of their skin conditions. A relatively new field in medicine called Psycodermatology studies just that issue, and has some powerful suggestions to keep your skin looking healthy, no matter how stressed you may feel.
“Listening” to your skin is very important. Your skin may be the first indicator of things going awry in the rest of your body. Sometimes, we get used to the psychological feeling of stress, without realizing the physical damage we can cause by ignoring it. For example, stress can cause acne from heightened levels of cortisol in your bloodstream, worsening rosacea (redness of your face) from increased blood flow, psoriasis, and brittle nails and hair. Hair loss, dermatitis, excess perspiration, and hives are all indicators that you may be stressed out. Stress can also weaken your skin, causing more allergens and infectious agents to penetrate through. People who are stressed do not take care of their skin, often neglecting their skin care regimen. Many stress related behaviors, such as scratching, rubbing or pulling can also make your skin look worse. Of course, there is also the telltale “number 11” sign on your forehead (vertical wrinkles in the middle of your forehead) that shows that you are stressed in your facial expressions.
The good news is that treating your stress can help your skin. AND, believe it or not, studies have shown that treating your skin can even make you feel less stressed! This reciprocal benefit is well documented in the literature, and there are some easy ways to take advantage of this phenomenon.
Here are some great tips that you can start today to get rid of those stress related skin issues:
1. Find any anti-stress activity and do it on a regular basis. Whether it is yoga, a walk, or listening to music you can decrease the amount of stress hormones you produce almost instantly. When you relax, you reduce the number of neuropeptides and other stress hormones (like cortisol) that cause your skin to function poorly. These are the same hormones that dilate blood vessels and cause rosacea and acne. Stress reduction techniques can make your skin less red and more resilient. Join a gym, yoga studio, or a walking group and you may see some instant results on your skin.
2. Get on a good skin care regimen and stick with it. Sometimes, being in a routine, any routine, makes us less stressed. So does doing something for yourself that helps you feel better about you! Good skin cleansers, sun protection, and toners help your skin to rejuvenate and replenish itself. Seeing your skin look great also helps you feel more self confident and less stressed.
3. Drink lots of water. When we are racing against deadlines, we tend to forget to watch our daily water intake. Your skin needs the hydration to remain moist and replenished. Carry an 8 oz. water bottle everywhere you go, and refill it 8 times a day.
4. Get rid of the wrinkles? A study conducted Dr. Fried found that patients who were getting treated with Botox said that they felt less anxious (29%), more relaxed (36%), and more optimistic (49%). Botox is NOT a psychological drug, and these feelings are thought to come more from seeing yourself with less signs of stress on your face in the mirror. Not looking stressed is half the battle.
5. Try habit-reversal training. Stress often causes us to perform certain repetitive behaviors that are damaging to our skin. If you find yourself picking at a certain area or repeatedly touching your face when you are stressed, immediately do something else…like snap your fingers or write a sentence. Eventually the habit will disappear.
Bottom line is, it is important for us to realize and accept that stress has a huge number of potential consequences to our bodies and mind. What’s great is that treating your stress can lead to better skin, AND vice-versa. So exercise, talk to someone, and get on a good skin care regimen. You will look and feel a lot a better.

An executive from the company, stated: “The business reason we needed the aircraft is about half of my business ventures are in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, so we needed the aircraft to solve a major transportation problem. Commercial air service is available, but it would expand my travel time by a couple days. Where I live is a small town two hours or so from Steamboat, and while there is commercial service, it isn't that good. And it's also about three hours from Denver, so just getting there would consume a whole day. We've used Aero & Marine Tax Professionals for several other aircraft, we're a repeat customer. Everything went smooth, the only time delay was from the state. I would definitely recommend them to others.”
An executive from the company stated: “I needed to see customers in remote areas, which was the main business reason we needed the aircraft. If I went commercial, I would need to take multiple flights. With the new aircraft, we can go direct to local runways. We got in touch with Aero & Marine Tax Professionals via our airplane broker. I thought the process went really smoothly. I had done a couple airplanes in the past with the rules of keeping it out of state for a period of time, etc. I'm a one-man tax department, so I was looking for more assistance. Their guidance was perfect on all the ins and outs and the funny rules that now exist. I was able to explain that to our pilot who kept saying, 'Why do I have to do this?' It was actually really helpful having the spreadsheets that Aero & Marine provided. It made it easy to keep track of everything. I'd seen that they'd done lots of other aircraft, so when I started in on this one, I didn't have any uncertainty. Being a 'tax guy' myself, I can really appreciate their preloaded forms - it made it easier on me that I didn't have to do that from scratch. I would recommend them to others.”

When a house settles, it can result in foundation cracks, including vertical cracks, diagonal cracks, and horizontal cracks. Cracking can also occur due to overload and drying shrinkage.

An executive from the company stated: “The aircraft replaced our previous aircraft that was less capable. We needed a more proficient aircraft to expedite our business purposes. We do business in Denver, CO; Calgary, Canada and places where the Citation 501 would be short-legged coming home and had old technology. We thought it was an opportune time to make the change. The experience with Aero & Marine Tax Professionals was so smooth and simple that I hadn’t given it much thought. It was very straightforward, they have a very streamlined approach. It makes it very simple for the operator to not have to go back and find the right paperwork. It was all laid out in front of us before we started using the aircraft, which made it really simple and efficient going forward. I would absolutely recommend Aero & Marine Tax Professionals to others.”
A representative from the aircraft management company stated “By referring our client to Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, they were our backup to make sure we were doing everything right. We knew our client could save a considerable amount of money by getting the tax exemption. While we know the process, Aero & Marine Tax Professionals knows it better. We’ve used them in the past and we were referred to them a long time ago. I’d definitely recommend them to others. Actually we’re using them on two different airplane purchases right now.”
The report found that settlement cracks can be a serious and unsuspected issue in a home’s structural stability. One of the causes could be if a home was constructed on poorly compacted soil, causing sinking of the building. Another is the weight of the building causing the soil underneath it to compress. Another was found to be frequent or dramatic changes in the soil’s moisture, which could create more space for the foundation to drop further into the ground. Another is tree roots and foliage placed near a home absorbing too much water from the soil at the foundation. Another is simply a poorly constructed home or foundation resulting in excessive settlement.

Most people have experienced dry skin. Your skin starts to itch and may come off in small flakes. It usually starts with the skin’s fine lines becoming sharper, and the skin starts to feel more rough. When it gets worse the skin may get red and start to itch with a vengeance. It’s distracting, it isn’t pretty and it can even become painful.

Big Trees Inc. is the premier tree sales and transplant company in Washington State. This was recently put to the test with the large beech trees at the Washington Park. The trees weighed in between 12,000 and 20,000 pounds and were moved via a 175 ton crane. The trees were moved successfully to a safe location in the Washington Park, where they are not in danger of construction and can still be viewed by visitors of the Washington Park Arboretum. The trees have abundant room to grow, as well, as they were moved into a newly developed drainage area with more than enough space.
When new writers dive into fiction, mostly they just put words to page. Which is great! It’s the way you have to start. In order to find her voice, a writer must write and write and write. There is no other way. But what results is often a big blob of sprawling pages, where the storyline drifts here and there and yon; where many scenes and even entire plot threads dangle out in space, having no relation to the actual plot. What you have is basically an amoeba. 
According to a recent article in the Huffington Post, “Breathing in mold can lead to symptoms including sinus infections and congestion, coughing and breathing problems, and irritation of the eyes or skin...And the Environmental Protection Agency reported that people who already have lung disease may also be in danger of developing mold infection in the lungs.”
