FEMALE EXCELLENCE

                                                                              DRESS

                   What are God’s instructions on female attire?  Yes, God gives instructions on dress also.

         First of all, He wants us to wear a right and proper attitude. (I Peter 3:4)  No matter how we are outwardly dressed, without the right attitude we are unsuccessful

        .Next, God commands that we be modest with decency (a correct or tactful standard of behavior) and propriety (fitness, rightness, correctness of behavior or morals). (I Timothy 2:9)  We are told to dress in moderation, avoiding extremes.  Not with braided hair, gold or pearls or costly array.  (I Timothy 2:8)  Meaning, not elaborate in hairdo or flashy expensive ostentatious clothing.  I Peter 3:2-3 tells us not to over do the outward appearance; it’s the inner you that really counts. 

        When seeking employment, one must dress in clothing appropriate for the work place: nothing too low cut or to short hemmed or too loud colored.  Dark conservative attire is more proper for the office.  When you apply for a job, you want your employer to see your abilities, your capabilities and your aptitude.  Improper dress can mean the loss of a job.  If you are seeking a mate, first of all, look in the right places.  The house of worship is where you find the best husband, material.  There you find men who fear God.  Of course, they are looking for the best woman.  One, who dresses modestly, talks properly and lives righteously.  People will think of you, as they perceive you to be.  Many times, your appearance will determine their decision.  

                                                          AMBITION AND PRODUCTIVITY

         Ambition is the determination to achieve, to drive, or push, having enthusiasm, zeal, and initiative eagerness.  This is what an employer is looking for when choosing an employee.  These attributes are also needed to properly run a household.  We women must diligently work at whatever job we are given with all our capabilities  .A productive person is one that is inventive, creative and resourceful.  Not afraid to put forth great effort to produce a quality quantity of work.  These are qualities that will assure your acceptation and maintenance on most any job.                        

                                                                   FEMALE EXCELLENCE    

          The word excels means to be preeminent, the most outstanding.  To be a woman of excellence, one must exhibit surpassing qualities showing a visible distinction in her appearance and demeanor.  Not all women excel in the art of womanhood because not all women have the desire to subject themselves to the strenuous task.  For one must use energy, the application of mental and physical effort to achieve excellence.   

                                                            LIVE COMFORTABLY WITH LITTLE INCOME        

                                                                         THE ART OF BARTERING           

        One does not have to be rich to live comfortably.  If you are wise and thrifty, you can survive on very little money.  One avenue you can use is bartering.                       

                                                                                BARTERING        

             What is bartering?  Bartering is exchanging goods or services without the use of money.  Letting a possession or your talents or abilities get what you need.  Long ago when money was scarce, a farmer did a service for someone and was many times paid with a ham, chickens, eggs etc. or with a service done for him in return.  Bartering is using what you have to get what you want. Reactivating the old art of bartering can be of great advantage to a person with low income.  You can use this art to create a new you.  

                                                                           SELF MAKE-OVER       

         First of all, let’s start improving self.  Usually a person feels the way they look.  If you look shabby and unkempt, you usually feel that way.  So let's begin a self make-over.  Here is a place where you can use bartering.  Do you usually have bad hair do days?  There is a self made, talented hair dressers or hair braider near you somewhere.  There may be a neighbor who likes to work with hair, or someone who has daughters that always have nice hair styles.  What about you and her trading talents?  Maybe she has no transportation and you do, or maybe she could use some child care, or house cleaning or food preparations.  Trade talents.   

               Ladies, if you have the talent of braiding or hairstyling, use it.  Barter for whatever you want.  Women want to be beautiful.  They will go to great lengths for beauty.  But hair care is time consuming.  You must be reimbursed for your time and talent.  Always get something for your work.          

             If you can’t find a relative or friend to do your hair, try to find a beauty school.  Beauty School students do hair for a fraction of the regular cost because they are just learners.  But you can get good care from these beginner cosmetologist.  Their instructors are always there to guide them and they can turn out a very good hair-do.  If you can obtain a little money, treat yourself.  You are worth it.  It will do wonders for your moral and lift your spirit.  This in turn will bring on a desire to brighten the appearance of other things and people around you . 

         If you have facial skin problems, check the toiletries section that will be coming to this web page for healthful natural remedies.  Most of the remedies are made with food items that can be purchased with your food stamps.  Nature is always better and it’s cheaper and has no side effects.

         Make yourself look good, and you’ll feel better.  Now make the rest of your family look good.  They represent you.               

                                                                        HOME MAKE-OVER

        Now, make yourself smell good.  (Check the toiletries section)  Make your own soaps and body smell goods.  If the Master Block seems too difficult to begin at this time, purchase a couple of bars of cheap soap.  Grate them as instructed and make your body wash gels and  shampoos.  A $2.00 bottle of fragrant oils form the Dollar Store and you can make your toilet water and other fragrant items.  You now look good and smell good. 

         Now, start improving your surroundings.  Get together with your neighbors and suggest that you turn your project dwelling into luxury apartments.  Work together, plant flowers and scrubs, water, pick up, paint, and clean.  Then all participate in keeping it that way.  Select a special place for the children to play where all can see them.  You may even have to use a few parking spaces.  Block them off and make a play area.  Make your area shine.  Take pride in where you live.    If no one wants to join you in the rehab, do it yourself.  Make your apartment the envy of the complex.  Soon some others may follow.   

             Do you need clothing for your family?  Try bartering with your friend or neighbor.  Find someone that has a child a little larger then yours and see if they have clothes they are grown out of.  Barter something you may have for the clothes.  Remember also to frequent the thrift stores, Goodwill and Dollar stores.  You can find lots of nice clothing in these stores.  Sometimes you may even find name brand items for just a few dollars.

                                                                            FOOD STAMPS      

           Ladies, you may have a direction card to purchase food.  But do you have money to purchase those non-food items? If you use your card wisely it can provide not only your food, but your health remedies and your toiletries.  Many things can be made out of food. Here are a few tips on how to use your direction card.

1.     For meats, use lots of ground turkey.  It is not only cheap, but it’s better for your body than hamburger.  It has little or no fat and can be made into a variety of dishes by just using different seasonings.  The turkey recipes are endless

4.    Try to always have a box of dry milk on hand.  This is good for drinking, but it is good to have in case of emergency.  When you can’t always get to the store you can always have milk for the kids.

5.    Peanut butter and oatmeal are two very wholesome nutritious products.  Your children will usually like both.  If possible have jelly also.

6.    There will always be a need for cider vinegar.  There are numerous uses for this product.  First of all it is good as a medicine.

7.    A cheap box of baking soda  is a natural tooth whitener, so use it as    toothpaste.  It also relieves pain of insect bite and   irritated skin problems. 

     Baking soda is also and effective antacid which        relieves heartburn, acid      indigestion and sour stomach.      Read the box for directions.

8.    Inexpensive cornstarch can make your puddings, gravies and sauces.  These   items are expensive when bought already made.    The instructions are on the   box.
