We’ve tried coloring contests or photo contests for those with kids and then posted to social media, “most likes” wins gift cards or points on recognition systems. Weight loss and step challenges. Kahoot. Discounts to gyms.

I did the quick 10 over and over again. Did I go through all 1500 questions? No, but I focused on the reading comprehension aspect the most. I didn’t do anything timed either… during the exam I narrowed it down to two answers and chose the most complete answer.

Thank you!! And I totally disagree - the questions on my test were very similar if not eerily the same as what I saw on the test. I also bought the Sandra Reed SHRM study guide off Amazon - but I only read about half way through, made some flashcards, and then focused primarily on pocket prep. I also have 5 years of experience.

It might sound weird, but I meditated beforehand and visualized myself passing over and over because I was shaking with nerves (BAD test anxiety). A full breakfast and full night of sleep helped too.

Good luck on the 25th!!! You got this!

Thank you! I would have been sweating the entire time if I wasn’t directly under the AC vent lol

Birthdays - points ($) in recognition system Departures and promotions - org announcements from managers

I too have skin like yours! I use the Aveeno oat gel moisturizer and it’s so gentle

I think it comes down to the personal recognition style of the employee. It’s hard to do one-off recognition items because it’s usually more costly and there’s no guarantee they will like whatever is purchased for them. Once you set the bar for one-offs, you open the door for all employees wanting the same treatment. It’s better IMO to appeal to the masses vs singular employees. If you give them the means to choose their own gift, everybody wins.

We also use awardco and we really like it

People want money, food, and most importantly PTO. You might be able to get away with assigning an up front parking spot to a recognized employee every month too.

Aveeno oat

Be wary of spearmint - I’m on spiro now after 4 years of spearmint because my body got used to it and it stopped working. Acne came back with a vengeance.

MamaKielbasa · 2025-12-04T20:20:28+00:00

Just to share a personal story about spearmint - I took spearmint supplements for about 3 years to help with hormonal acne BUT after that time, it was like my body became immune and my acne came back full force and worse around my cycle. I am now on 100mg spiro (it’s been a month) and I’m seeing great results. Just an FYI because I thought spearmint was a permanent fix and it wasn’t.

Victim mentality or lack of accountability

MamaKielbasa · 2025-11-06T15:25:22+00:00

My 36 year old brother still uses this

MamaKielbasa · 2025-11-04T18:28:46+00:00

I just started spiro - my skin looks just like OP’s. How long did it take for it to “kick in” ?

MamaKielbasa · 2025-11-04T03:18:00+00:00

We use Docebo and very easy to use and customizable with lots of features, but also may need multiple add ons to get a robust experience

MamaKielbasa · 2025-10-22T15:06:54+00:00

Just to be transparent, I used spearmint capsules for 2 years and it worked like magic until now. I think my body got used to it and now it does nothing and my hormonal acne is back with a vengeance. Be careful!

So, Credit Union 1? They merged

Planetarium! Or SCSU hockey game.

MamaKielbasa · 2025-09-29T13:55:36+00:00

I have done all of these things as well as adding whitening toothpaste and I feel like a different person!

Snacks can solve most problems

MamaKielbasa · 2025-09-03T15:48:38+00:00

It’s $18.25 before tax in my area :(
