Question: Which haircut is best for me?

I have a round/oval face. I was wondering which of these two haircuts is best for me. Other suggestions are appreciated also, but I’d like to keep my hair long because next summer I’m cutting it and donating it to charity.

Thanks

Here is the first one:

And here is the second one:

Answer: well they are both pretty similar but i would say to get the second on if you want more volume in your hair because the layers are cut closer to the crown and the 1st one if you want less volume. but they are pretty similar. if i were getting my haircut i would choose the first one just because i like the way it would fall on my face shape and i have the same kind of face shape as you.

Charitable Giving Down In 2009

Chantel Daniel is an ambitious, vibrant and enthusiastic 24 year old, whose energy and passion to succeed stems from growing up in Tottenham, London, in a loving St Lucian family whose lifestyle was dictated by scarcities and personal challenges.

Raised by a single mother, along with four of her other siblings, Chantel has always maintained very happy and loving memories as a child and was never without food, warmth, laughter and love, despite their financial circumstances.

Despite coming from a large supportive family, Chantel was a rebellious teenager and left home at a young age in the pursuit of greater things.  This decision led to a range of life experiences that were traumatic for Chantel as she battled depression, homelessness and poverty which put her in situations in which she was the victim of physical violence and rape.

Throughout all of this, Chantel has had the determination to stay in education and fulfil her academic capabilities and is currently a part-qualified accountant.

This dedication to education and the belief that no goal is unattainable, is what attracted Chantel to Miss Black Britain.  Combining the chance to be a strong role model for Black women not just around Britain but around the globe, and most importantly she relished the idea of being able to support and highlight Plan UK’s campaign ‘Because I am a Girl’, which is the charitable initiative supported by Miss Black Britain.  ‘Because I am a Girl’ highlights the importance of education for girls in developing countries, to give them a better opportunity in life, and the chance to continue their education past primary school age. 

Chantel wants to win Miss Black Britain to become a role model to all people - men and women alike - in creating a social enterprise that embraces people of all backgrounds and ideas. Her main aim being to highlight to others, especially young girls, the value of respecting education and acknowledging that it is an avenue to a better life – not just in developing countries, but here in the UK as well.   The first step towards cultivating life ambition is to have a positive self image and a pride in yourself and your heritage and working through the things that cannot be changed – something Miss Black Britain aims to achieve, by showcasing, celebrating and embracing black beauty and the diversity of it – something that isn’t recognised as widely as it could be in mainstream media, so is an important for young Black women to feel they have an avenue to express themselves and celebrate their heritage.

The Simone Williams fashion label has been up and running since the summer of 2004 and is based in Hoxton, London. It is a label keen to support and encourage women from all backgrounds to achieve the very best in life.  By creating a one-off piece for Chantel Daniel the label hopes to encourage more young women to go for what they want in life and to recognise their true beauty within.

2009 Holiday Giving Campaign

Charitable Giving Down 2009

Make Upgrades

If you were thinking about making energy efficient upgrades to your home, you may want to do so before the New Year. The deductions and credits available for energy efficient home upgrades are larger this year than they were in 2008, and it is unknown if Congress will extend or decrease those credits for 2010.

Give Now

During the holiday season, most of us feel more charitable then usual, with toy drives for underprivileged children and Santa Clauses asking for donations on every street corner. However, this time of the year is also the last time you can make a charitable donation and deduct the amount from your 2009 taxable income. Be sure to take a minute to look over your donation receipts from this year so far to see if you making a few extra donations will significantly reduce your tax liability or not.

Make 529 Contributions

If you have children, then you might want to consider opening a 529 plan, or if you already have one setup then you could max out your contributions. There are two different types of 529 plans, but both have significant tax benefits. Using any extra funds you have at the end of the year to help pay for future college bills is a great, and tax friendly way to prepare for the future.

Offset Large Capital Gains

If you had a high amount of capital gains related income, then you may want to offset your profits by selling off a few bad investments or stocks. You can then claim a capital loss and reduce your taxable income. However, keep in mind there is a $3,000 limit—but the rest can be carried forward into future tax years. Alternatively, you can offset your losers by selling off some winners. If you are not experienced with capital gains and losses, then I highly recommend seeking the help of a qualified professional.

Non-Charitable Gifts

It is the season of giving, right? In addition to charitable contributions you can also give up to $12,000 ($24,000 for a married couple) to as many individuals as you wish without incurring a gift tax penalty.

Get in Order

With the New Year just around the corner, it is never too early to begin getting your financial records organized for next tax season. By knowing exactly how much money you have made this year, and projecting your total taxable income for the end of the year, you can decide if you need to take any actions concerning income and expenses to further lower your tax liability or not. You can also throw away any files that are old or unnecessary, and create a new folder in your filing cabinet for 2010.

Adjust Withholdings

If after reviewing your taxable income, you realize that your tax bill will be higher than you had expected, now is your last chance to have your employer adjust your withholdings. It will mean less cash in your remaining paychecks for the year, but at least you will not be hit with a massive tax bill come April. On the other hand, if you have overpaid your taxes throughout the year then you could lower your withholdings and get a little extra holiday cash.

Prepay Mortgage and Taxes

If you are looking for ways to increase deductions and lower your taxable income, then you can always prepay your next mortgage payment, or pay your property taxes early. Just remember though that this means you will have one less mortgage payment to make next year, which will result in a higher tax bill in April 2011.

Retirement Payments

If you have not contributed the maximum to your 401(k) or another tax friendly retirement account, then you want to do so before the years end. This will help lower your taxable income, and is also a good investment in your future.
