If you don’t want to mix your own paint, then purchase this ready-to-use product. A whitewash is actually diluted white paint, designed to give minimal cover and color on the underlying wood.  Whitewashing an object should cost less than painting an object, because the paint is diluted with tap water or turpentine. Choose an oil-based or water-based paint that is not too yellow. You will want to start with a crisp white, rather than a cream color. Dilute water-based paints with water. Dilute oil-based paints with mineral spirits or turpentine.  Grab a sturdy bucket or old paint can in which to mix the whitewash. For finished wood, use a mixture of 1 part white paint to 1 part water/turpentine.  For unfinished wood or previously painted wood, use a mixture of 2 parts of white paint to 1 part water/turpentine.  For walls and floors, use a mixture of 2 parts water/turpentine to 1 part of white paint. You can apply this mixture with a brush, while the other mixtures are better applied with a rag.

If you drew a design on the cornhole board, dip your paintbrush into another color of paint and paint along the design. For a cornhole board set that will really stand out, consider painting each board different colors (such as the colors of your favorite sports teams). Consider laying down painter's tape if you want to paint the edges a different color or just want to paint straight lines across the boards. The painter's tape can keep the paint from one section from bleeding into the next area on the board. Painter's tape is designed to peel off easily without removing the paint underneath it. If you'd like to make a complicated design (such as one with lots of swirls or small curves) use a stencil to get the high level of detail. Lay the stencil on the cornhole board and tape it down with a few pieces of painter's tape. Paint or spray paint over the stencil and then lift the stencil away. Let the design dry completely. If you don't want to paint special designs by hand, but you want to make the boards look unique, place decals or stickers on them. To apply most decals or stickers, remove the backing and lay them on the painted boards. Rub over the decals or stickers to remove any air bubbles. . If you'd like paint letters or words on the boards, decide if you want to paint them by hand or use a stencil. To paint them by hand, draw a light guideline with a ruler to ensure that you paint the letters straight. If you'd rather not freehand the letters, lay down a stencil and paint over the letters you need. You could also apply letter decals to make your word. Have a variety of brush sizes around so you can make the letters different sizes, if necessary.

Añade colores extra o detalles. Utiliza cinta adhesiva de pintor para crear bordes definidos o lineas. Usa un stencil para crear diseños en el tablero. Colócale calcomanías. Incluye inscripciones en el tablero.


If you drink or eat too much before running, you will be more likely to experience cramps during your run.  You can eat just a small, healthy snack (no more than 200 calories) about one hour before you run to provide a little extra energy.  A granola bar, half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a few slices of apple, or a banana are good options.  After eating a larger meal, waiting two to four hours before running may help prevent cramping. Drink enough — but not too much — water throughout the day.  Drink at least 64 ounces (1.9 L) of water each day.  This will help the lining of your intestines absorb water and break down the food in your belly more quickly.  Make sure you hydrate before your run. Drink about 20 oz (600 ml) of water an hour before running so that it has time to reach your muscles. If you drink immediately before you run the water will still be in your stomach.  Take large sips of water as you run. Taking large drinks, not little sips, helps liquid leave the stomach faster. Gulp some cold water (one or two gulps) during your run as needed. Cold water is absorbed more quickly into your system than warm water. You do not need fancy sports drinks or fruit juices to stay properly hydrated.  In fact, fruit juices have been found to cause cramps in runners.  Stick to water to quench your thirst. These include fibrous foods, fatty foods, and proteins.  High fiber foods are associated with cramps during running.  Instead, try a simple carb-based snack like a banana and crackers. While healthy fats, proteins, and fiber are crucial for a healthy diet, eat them after you run to prevent cramping.

TL;DR in Spanish:

No corras con el estómago lleno. Mantente hidratado. Evita los alimentos que tardan en descomponerse en el estómago.


If you eat out a lot, think about how you can cook at home to have more control over what you eat. Look through cookbooks and online to find new recipes that sound appealing. Part of becoming healthier is changing your way of eating, and new foods and dishes will be part of that. Cooking the same things you always make and just eating less can be more difficult than preparing something new with fewer calories in the same size portion. Take packed lunches to work or school. For some people, just this simple step can go a long way toward helping them eat healthier and more mindfully. Home-cooked food is going to be healthier than the vast majority of restaurant food, and will not have the same kinds of preservatives or high sodium levels. Buy the foods you need to make your new healthy dishes at home. Buy ingredients, not prepared or processed foods -- these are typically going to have the same sodium and preservative levels as restaurant food. Even though it might take time getting used to cooking at home, your food is going to be both healthier and better. Identify the foods that you want to eliminate from your diet in both your refrigerator and your cupboards. Pay particular attention to prepackaged and processed foods -- they often have unhealthy preservatives and additives, and can be very high in sodium. Toss all trans fats. If an ingredient is "partially hydrogenated oil" this is another name for trans fats, and are a major cause of heart attacks and strokes. You will want to eventually, if not immediately, throw out all foods you have with this ingredient listed on the package.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Controla tu dieta. Come en casa. Lleva tu lista nueva al supermercado. Revisa tu cocina.


If you enjoy having more freedom during the outlining stages for your novel, you can use freewriting to generate ideas and details for your novel. A freewrite is also a good way to get plot ideas that you can then integrate into an outline. Use an idea you have for the novel to create a freewriting prompt that you can write about to get started.  You can use a simple prompt, such as “I want to write a novel about…” or “My novel will be structured based on…”. Or you can use a prompt that is more specific to your novel idea. For example, you may have the prompt, “Susan lives in the jungle and is visited by her long lost daughter. Then…”. You may use a timer to set aside a certain amount of time to write on the prompt. Writing on the prompt for 15 minutes can help you focus and let your ideas flow on the page. Try not to re-read what you have written during the freewrite or correct your writing. You want to have a sense of freedom and exploration during the freewrite. You may try writing on the prompt in a quiet, private spot in your home or at work. Minimize any distractions around you and stay focused on the prompt so you can get the most out of the freewrite. Once you have completed the freewrite, read it over and analyze the content. Look for any details that seem interesting or engaging to you. Note any details that surprise you or help open up the structure of the novel. Ask yourself, “What does the freewrite tell me about the structure of my novel?” “How does the freewrite explore plot, character, and setting?” You may make notes on the freewrite about plot and structure or highlight lines that seem to explore these elements. You can also underline or note any details that focus on character and setting, as you can then integrate this information in your outline. After you have analyzed your freewrite, you should expand on any ideas that you found interesting to create a loose outline. The outline may be based on the narrative structure or the snowflake method. Or you may create a loose outline that reads...

If you experience chronic lack of emotional control, try looking deeper into your personal history to find its origins. Knowing where your emotional turmoil comes from can help you figure out how to accept it and heal from it.  Think about how conflict was handled in your family while you were growing up. Did your parents show or hide their emotions? Were certain emotions “off-limits”? What emotion is most uncomfortable for you, and how did your family handle it?  You can also think about turning points in your life, such as a divorce, a death, or a major change like moving homes or losing a job. What emotions did you feel, and how did you react to them? Figuring out where your emotional turmoil stems from gives you the power to confront and overcome the beliefs that are causing it. Take a step back from the situation and objectively identify negative beliefs, like fear or inadequacy. What is causing those toxic feelings? What can you do to confront and overcome them?  For example, feelings of not being good enough might show up as “disqualifying the positive” thinking: if somebody says something good about you, it doesn't count, but if they say something bad about you, you "knew it all along." Challenge this by noticing all the things you do right in your life. Emotional turmoil caused by fear might manifest as a tendency to jump to conclusions, when you make a negative judgment even though there aren’t any facts to back it up. Challenge this way of thinking by stopping yourself at each step and examining the evidence for your conclusions. No matter what other complex negative emotions you uncover, you can challenge almost all of them by asking yourself what the unbiased truth is and showing yourself compassion. Journaling about your emotions can help you learn to identify your feelings. It will also help you learn to recognize what may trigger certain emotions and will help you recognize helpful and unhelpful ways of dealing with them.  Use your journal to recognize your emotions, vent about things you feel...

If you experience indigestion or heartburn frequently, you should focus on treating the cause of your indigestion rather than simply addressing its symptoms. Start this process by monitoring your consumption and meal habits.  Seemingly small habits such as eating too rapidly, taking large mouthfuls, or overeating with excessive portions can aggravate your indigestion.  Once you've noticed your bad mealtime habits, correct them by eating smaller meals over a longer period of time.  Eating slowly allows your stomach more time to digest and smaller portions lessen its workload. Problems with the stomach after eating is called non-ulcer dyspepsia, which is also known as indigestion. Waiting until an hour after mealtime to drink a beverage can help ease indigestion.  While it may seem counterintuitive, chugging water with your meals can dilute the digestive acids in your stomach and make them less effective. Opt for water or milk rather than soda, coffee, or alcohol, as these can be abrasive to your stomach lining and make you more uncomfortable. Indigestion is frequently caused by consuming hard-to-digest foods which aggravate pain and increase acid production.  One of the easiest ways to curb indigestion, then, is figuring out which foods trigger dyspeptic symptoms and eliminating them from your diet. Instead, opt for bland foods such as oatmeal, broths, toast, applesauce, crackers, and rice. These items are easy to digest and thus won't put undue stress on your digestive system. This can seem like a small consideration, but in fact your clothes can have a big impact on indigestion and acid reflux.  Super tight waists on pants or skirts can dig into your abdomen and put pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, impeding regular digestion and causing stomach acids to rise up your esophagus. This doesn't mean you have to ditch your favorite skinny jeans entirely.  Just make sure you slip into some looser fitting clothing before digging into a big meal. Digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid supplements, and ...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Presta atención a tu alimentación. Ingiere tus bebidas después de la comida. Evita los alimentos grasos y picantes. Ponte ropa que sea floja alrededor del abdomen. Toma suplementos para favorecer la digestión. Incluye un probiótico en tu dieta. Toma extracto de hoja de alcachofa 3 veces al día. Controla tu consumo de nitratos y fármacos antiinflamatorios.

If you experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding for an extended amount of time, schedule an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor needs to know if you have spotting or breakthrough bleeding for more than seven days of your cycle. In addition, spotting or bleeding that persists for more than four months warrants medical attention.  See your doctor for new episodes of spotting. The spotting or breakthrough bleeding may be caused by something unrelated to your birth control pills. If you are continuing on the same regimen of birth control pills but begin to experience mid-cycle bleeding, this may be a symptom of another problem and should be evaluated by your doctor. Breakthrough bleeding may be a sign of other problems including pregnancy or conditions involving cervical changes. If you have made lifestyle changes such as smoking, or have started taking new medications that may be interacting with the birth control pill regimen, this can cause breakthrough bleeding as well. Many birth control pills are made to contain the lowest possible amounts of some hormones. Your doctor may change your pills to a type that contains slightly higher levels of estrogen if he or she is aware of your ongoing problem with spotting. Changing to a pill formulated with a different type of progesterone, such as levonorgestrel, may also help.>  If you continue to have problems with spotting or breakthrough bleeding on your current pill, talk to your doctor about either switching to another strength or extending the number of days you take active pills vs the placebo pills at the end of most packs. There are many types of pills that are effective at preventing pregnancy. Finding the best one to suit the hormonal needs of your body is simply a matter of being patient and trying a few different types. Doctors routinely start with products that contain the lowest possible amounts of either estrogen, progesterone, or both. Changing to a brand with a slightly higher dose of estrogen usually stops the problem with spotting and...

If you experience tattoo scarring, avoid placing the scar in direct sunlight. The sun can cause scarred tissue to darken or become red, making it look more noticeable. As a result, you should always apply sunscreen to the scarred area before sun exposure. Use a sunscreen that is SPF 30 and reapply frequently throughout the day. Aloe vera gel may help to reduce the appearance of scars by moisturizing the skin. The gel from the aloe plant contains microbial and anti-inflammatory properties which may help heal the skin and reduce scars. Apply the gel directly to the scarred skin 2 to 3 times a day. Moisturizing a scar will not remove the scar, but it may help to blend the scar tissue with the surrounding skin. Moisturizers will provide nutrition to the area and may reduce the appearance of scars.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Evita el sol directo. Aplica aloe vera en la cicatriz. Humecta el área.


If you feel as though your obsessive ex has gone so far as to become a stalker, the situation might be dangerous. When this happens, you may need to seek outside help. Stalking is different than obsession because it involves a long-term pattern of harassment or abuse. Legally, stalking occurs when someone repeatedly (twice or more) comes near you or contacts you when you have asked him/her or not to, or made threats (verbal, written, or implied) that have caused you fear or the worry of harm. If you are the victim of stalking, contact the police. Stalking is illegal in all states. Common signs of stalking include when your ex:  Follows you Loiters near your home, workplace, or other area that you frequent Installs surveillance equipment in your home, car, etc., or threatens to install it Contacts you through inappropriate means, such as calling your boss to discuss your relationship Verbally harasses or abuses you, leaves obscene messages, or makes any other kind of inappropriate contact Harasses you or people close to you online through comments on social media, hacking your social media or email accounts, etc. Harms your pet Vandalizes or destroys your personal property Physically or sexually assaults you Does any of the above to your family members, friends, coworkers, or others who know you A protective order is issued by a court to prevent someone from contacting you. If your ex breaks the rules of this protective order, he or she can be arrested and fined or imprisoned. If your ex poses any kind of danger to you or others around you, contact authorities in your area about getting an order of protection. Laws governing these orders vary from location to location, but you can find out more about your options by contacting:  The police A lawyer A legal aid service A community service specializing in domestic abuse Whether or not you have an order of protection, if your ex puts you or someone close to you in danger, contact the police immediately. Even if the police do not seem to think the situation is a...

TL;DR in Spanish:

If you feel good about yourself and your looks, that will often be a strong attraction. Try something refreshing, such as a lavender bubble bath or a body cleanser. Use deodorant. Shave regularly, especially your legs and armpit hair. A facial will make your skin glow and stand out. You don't want your face to be full of pimples and dry skin. Fix up your nails with some strikingly colorful designs of your own creation. Guys like girls who take care of themselves, especially if they are a bit out of the ordinary. Don't go over the edge with make-up, guys can't take it! Try experimenting at home to get a good, natural look that enchants the best of your facial features. And think according to where you are going, and what time of the day it is. Darker make-up is used at night, and at clubs. Lighter make-up is used at day, and in the mall or at school/work. Also, find out what colors work best for you. Try something new. Maybe start wearing red lipstick. Studies show that men are more drawn to women's lips than any other feature on their face.[citation needed] If your not in the mood for lipstick, try lip balm. Lip gloss works too. If he is drawn to you with a lovely scent, then he will actually start to see your inner beauty. Don't wear too much, though. Your crush doesn't want to smell you all the way across the room. Just when he's next to you. Curl your hair, braids, or maybe get it cut in a new way to make the most of your facial features. Keep your hair nice and clean. Trim your hair every now, to avoid having split ends. Don't over style your hair. Heat damages your hair, so don't straighten it or curl it every day.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dúchate a diario para que estés presentable en todo momento. Hazte una facial. Hazte una manicura. Maquíllate. Ponte perfume. Hazte un peinado.


If you feel like you're getting mad at someone, give yourself a little break for some time to cool down and regroup.  If you regain control of your feelings before you talk to the person you're on the verge of being mad at, you're more likely to avoid conflict. Deep breaths can help you calm down and avoid getting mad at someone. To benefit from the potential relaxation of deep breathing, you need to take deep breaths into your abdomen.  Place your hand on your diaphragm (between your belly and chest) and breathe so deeply that you hand moves as your belly begins to expand.  Then slowly breathe out. Keep your focus on your breath, breathing in and out 8-10 times or until you feel like you have regained control of your emotions. While displacing your anger towards another person can be bad, redirecting it towards an activity such as cleaning, exercising, or tackling long-overdue items on your “to-do” list can be helpful.  You can get out some angry energy while you do something productive! Give yourself time to do something nice for yourself.  Get plenty of sleep, and exercise.  You will also maintain a healthy diet, and you will feel better.    Feeling better often means having better control over your emotions, which leads to more effective (and kinder) communication with others.  Additionally, if you are not getting any time for self-care, you may begin to feel resentful to people whom you perceive as preventing you from getting that time.  You should try to sleep 7-8 hours every night to thrive physically and emotionally.  Aim for 20-30 minutes of exercise each day.  If you cannot exercise daily, try to do it at least 3-4 times per week. Include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and protein in your diet.  Getting healthy fats can also make you feel full longer.  Also avoid fat-free and overly processed foods.  These often lack adequate nutrition and may leave you feeling dissatisfied. Unwinding to some of your favorite singers might calm you down and get you in the mood. Music is proven to make you feel a...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Tómate un descanso. Respira profundo. Redirige tu furia hacia la productividad. Cuídate. Escucha música relajante. Activa tus pensamientos positivos.


If you feel like your buttons are easily pushed, take some time to think about what tends to upset you the most. Once you start identifying some triggers, it may be easier for you to prepare for the next time you encounter one of them. For example, maybe you're especially bothered by comments about your physical appearance, or you get really annoyed when your significant other looks at their phone while you're talking to them. Understanding why you are bothered by certain things can make it easier to control your reactions to those things. When you recognize that your feelings stem from somewhere inside you, you won't feel so much like you're at the mercy of the person pushing your buttons. Next time you feel like your buttons have been pushed, stop and think afterwards about where exactly those negative feelings are coming from.  For example, maybe you become really annoyed when your friend gets excited and talks over you. Thinking back, you might find that their interruptions remind you of how your big brother would never let you get a word in edgeways, so that you regularly felt unheard. Once you identify the root causes of your feelings, try to recognize in the moment that you may be reacting to more than just the situation at hand. This can help you respond more appropriately to what's actually happening. Another way to feel more in control is to recognize the warning signs that you're about to blow your stack. Next time someone pushes your buttons, try to tune in to exactly what you're feeling. Once you learn to recognize those feelings, you can work on getting them under control before they get out of hand. For example, you might notice that when you are getting really upset, you breathe rapidly and your shoulders get tense. Once you recognize those sensations, you can combat them by making a conscious effort to breathe deeply and relax your body. Meditating regularly can help you feel calmer overall, and can also help you become more self-aware. If you're having a lot of trouble controlling your...

If you feel overwhelmed all of the time and don’t know how to manage, start by keeping a journal of what makes you stressed. Write down exactly what made you feel stressed, how you felt, how you responded to that stress, and what, if anything, you did to feel better.  Identifying the common areas that cause you stress can help you better manage them long-term. When you know what’s causing the stress, you can take steps to counteract it before it gets out of control. The stress journal can also help you identify if you have any unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as overeating, binge drinking, or procrastination. Meditation is a great way to de-stress and relax for a few minutes each day. Daily meditation may even make you more resilient to the stressors of everyday life.  Sit up straight with both feet on the floor, close your eyes, and recite a positive mantra such as, “Be at peace.” Take deep breaths and try to sync them with your mantra. Don't get mad at yourself or become frustrated if your thoughts wander — this is normal. Just gently return to your mantra. Let the distracting thoughts drift away. Deep breathing can lower your heart rate and blood pressure allowing you to take a moment away from a stressful task. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stop what you are doing and take a quick breathing break. Turn everything off for five minutes and focus on inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly. You should feel your belly rise with each inhalation and lower when you exhale. . When you’re feeling stressed, it’s easy to get into a “doom and gloom” mode. Every little thing seems to be working against you, but in reality it’s just the way you’re currently seeing the world. Thinking positively will help you get out of this mode and reframe your view of the situation. Try thinking positive phrases, such as “This will pass,” “I’ll get through this,” and “I can manage this with a few deep breaths.” A lot of stress in our lives comes from knowing that we have a thousand things to do and no time to do them. Write a master...

If you feel overwhelmed by your negative experiences, you may benefit greatly from speaking to a counselor, in addition to practicing positive thinking exercises. Look for a therapist trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. He or she will be able to help you train your mind to think positively. To find a therapist you trust, ask a friend who has sought counsel or therapy before. You can also get a referral from your doctor. Think of it as a check-up for your state of mind. You are under no obligation to stay if you feel too uncomfortable and there's no rule saying you must regularly see this therapist. Make the appointment with an open mind. Hope that the counselor can help you. If not, you can always find a counselor that you feel more comfortable with. Remember that therapy is confidential and safe, so you can be totally honest. The more honest you are with your counselor, the better he or she will be able to help. Be sure to describe how these negative thoughts make you feel. Explain how often you experience them and what you usually do to deal with them. If you felt comfortable with your therapist, make another appointment or two. Remember that it will take more than a single session to work through your negative thoughts. Don't get discouraged if you feel your time with a particular counselor was unproductive. You can seek out a different therapist until you find one that makes you feel comfortable.

If you feel sick during or after travel and are worried you were exposed to malaria, see a doctor right away. It's important to get treatment as soon as possible. Early malaria symptoms are generally non-specific, but may include the following:  High fever Shaking chills Profuse sweating Headache Vomiting Diarrhea The medication your doctor prescribes will depend on where you contracted the disease. Other factors, like pregnancy, are also important. Treatment usually means a strict course of medication for an extended period of time. Drugs used to treat malaria include the following:  Chloroquine phosphate is the first-line medication for malaria unless there is resistance to the drug. This issue has become common, so your doctor may prescribe something else. Doctors prescribe quinine sulfate and tetracycline in areas with high chloroquine phosphate resistance. Alternatively, your doctor may prescribe atovaquone-proguanil and mefloquine. Sometimes, the infection may require an infusion of medication intravenously. If infected with the parasite P. falciparum, you may take IV quinidine and doxycycline. If the malaria is caused by either the parasite P. vivax or P. ovale, your doctor may prescribe a two-week regimen of primaquine phosphate. Again, early prevention is the best way to protect yourself before arriving in high-risk areas. If your doctor knows you are traveling to a chloroquine-resistant region, he or she may prescribe mefloquine. See a doctor right away if you experience flu-like symptoms that could be symptoms of malaria. Even if it's been awhile since you've returned, you could still be at risk. Most cases of malaria become obvious within about two weeks of contracting the disease. But, in some cases symptoms show up much later. The parasite that causes malaria can lie dormant in the body for weeks, months, even up to a year.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Acude a un doctor si tienes síntomas. Obtén un tratamiento. Sigue haciéndote controles después de regresar.


If you feel stressed, you may be more vulnerable to revert back to bad habits. Find ways to relieve and manage stress daily. Don’t let stress build up; find ways to decrease stress each day. Engaging in exercise, being social, and avoiding unnecessary stress are excellent ways to manage stress.  Join a running club, start yoga, or go for daily walks with your dog. Call up a friend, host a game night, or plan to see your friends for dinner. If you feel chronically stressed but are not sure how to pinpoint it, start a stress journal and keep track of what stresses you each day/week/month. You may start to find patterns of the stressors you experience, then begin to tackle them one by one. Don’t surround yourself with people that encourage you to think or act in a perverted way. You may need to take a break from friends or choose new friends altogether. Allow people in your life that support you and encourage you to live in the way you find most beneficial for you. Having good support in your life helps you combat stress. If there are people that negatively influence you yet are a fixture in your life, kindly ask them to tone down their comments or behavior, or not to discuss those things in your presence. Your friends can help you along your journey and make it easier by supporting you. Start an accountability group if you and your friends struggle with similar problems. Send supportive texts, meet for lunch, and keep each other on track. You can also join a support group, either locally or online, such as the Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health or Sex Addicts Anonymous. If you feel like you cannot control your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and don’t think you can do the journey on your own, see a therapist. A therapist can help you confront your feelings, find coping strategies, and work through the process of decreasing negative sexual thoughts. Your therapist is there to support you and help you live a happier, more fulfilling life. For more information about going to therapy, check out How to...

If you feel that you aren’t getting enough vitamin E in your diet, try taking a vitamin E supplement. You can buy capsules, chewable tablets, or softgels. Vitamin E can also be purchased as a liquid for oral use. Often, vitamin E liquid supplements come in a bottle with a dropper, which you can use to squirt the liquid into your mouth. It is recommended to take the vitamin E dose along with a meal. Make sure to check with your doctor before trying a new supplement. To be sure you’re getting a healthy amount of vitamin E, check the labels of the supplements you're taking. Vitamin E may be listed as either d-alpha-tocopherol or dl-alpha-tocopherol. Here are some guidelines for how much vitamin E you should be consuming daily:  Adults should get 15 milligrams, or 22.5 IU (International Units). Breastfeeding women of any age should get 19 milligrams, or 28.5 IU. The maximum dose for adults over 18 is 1,000 milligrams, or 1,500 IU. The recommended dose varies for children, as well as for those with specific illnesses or circumstances. Check with your doctor to find out what dose is best for you or your child.

If you feel that your skin is looking a little dull, some blush will brighten your complexion. Like other types of makeup, it's important to find a color that complements your skin tone. Try to find one that creates the same color your cheeks make when your face flushes. Some general guidelines are:  If your skin is very dark, you can use vibrant reds, apricots, and berries as your blush. These colors look bold when in a compact, but they will blend in well when brushed onto your skin  Many different colors work well with medium skin. Apricot, taupe, bronze, and coral are examples of the most popular blushes for medium skin. Fair, pale skin looks best when paired with classic pink blush. Many people struggle with blush placement, and applying blush to a relaxed face can be a gamble. Smiling will make the apples of your cheeks prominent and easy to brush blush onto without overdoing it.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escoge el color correcto. Sonríe cuando te veas al espejo.


If you feel the need to ignore your husband, this is a sign of trouble in a relationship. While it's healthy to ignore or overlook certain flaws, there are some negative aspects of a relationship that need to be addressed.  If your husband has an anger problem, this warrants discussion. As stated, it can be healthy to ignore anger in the moment. However, if your husband habitually lashes out at you when he's mad you need to have a sit down talk.  Addiction is toxic to a relationship. If your husband has a problem with drugs or alcohol, you should talk to him about seeking treatment. Do not just ignore the problem.  Unless you have an open marriage, affairs should not be ignored. If you suspect infidelity, confront your husband. Taking your partner for granted can cause serious damage to a relationship. Even if you're frustrated with your husband, try to appreciate the good he does.  Even minor things, like going grocery shopping or taking out the garbage, deserve a "thank you" and a kiss. Most people get a buzz of happiness when someone expresses gratitude or affection. You often forget to appreciate someone if you've been together for a long time. Try to periodically remind yourself how  you would react if your husband was a stranger. You wouldn't hesitate to say "Thank you" if a stranger opened a door for you or offered your a seat on the bus. Do not forget to thank your husband. The silent treatment involves simply ignoring someone who upset you as a form of punishment. It's toxic to a healthy marriage. It's a passive-aggressive means of coping with a problem that only leads to miscommunication and confusion. You should never use the silent treatment on your husband as it's a form of manipulation. If you need some space for a few days, let your husband know why you are mad and why you may be more quiet than usual. Remember, ignoring someone is incredibly hurtful. Many people find being ignored worse than being yelled at or confronted. If you need your space for a set period of time, that's fine. It's also...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Entiende qué comportamientos necesitas abordar. No ignores las cosas buenas. No uses la ley del hielo. No ignores a tu esposo por más de unos cuantos días. Busca terapia, si es necesario.


If you feel there are some small changes that you need or want to make in your life to be healthier, it wouldn't hurt to see your doctor prior to making any changes.   They can review your medical history, weight and let you know what changes might be the most beneficial to you. Small goals are often the most appealing as they are the easiest to reach. If your goals are too high and you are unable to reach them in a timely manner, you may become discouraged. Set small goals that ultimately lead up to your larger goal. It will help provide you with the motivation to make and keep lifestyle changes.  When setting your goals make sure they are realistic, timely, and specific.  These qualities make goals that are easier to meet in the long-term.  For example, instead of a goal of "I want to boost my endurance," make your goal "I want to be able to swim five laps in my pool without needing to stop." Also consider whether you need smaller goals to meet a larger, more long-term goal.  For example, if you want to run five miles, you might make a goal to run a 5k (which is 3.1 miles) as an intermediary goal. Remember that too many lifestyle changes at once is a recipe for failure. It is important that you only try to implement so many changes at once. Think about what lifestyle changes you need to make in order to achieve your goals.  If you don't think you'll be willing to make the lifestyle changes needed to meet your goal, revisit your goals and change them as needed.  Lifestyle changes are small changes in behavior that may result in improved health or well-being.  Studies show that small lifestyle changes over long periods of time are more sustainable.  Examples of lifestyle changes include:  replacing desserts with fruit or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. The lifestyle changes you want to make may also help you make, change, or come up with additional goals.  For example, you might want to eat healthier.  A goal could be to eat a fruit or vegetable every day. Even with small lifestyle changes, trying...

Reserva una cita con el doctor. Fíjate metas. Anota los cambios realistas que puedas hacer en tu estilo de vida. Asígnales un marco temporal a los cambios en tu estilo de vida. Busca apoyo.


If you feel threatened by a suspicious person or are approached by a would-be attacker, the best way to avoid getting hurt is to run away from this person and towards a busy public area. Escaping is the quickest way to end an attack.  Don’t rely on adrenaline to give you super speed. Engage in regular exercise so that you are physically strong enough to run quickly and far enough to get away. Wear reasonable shoes anytime you are walking around by yourself. Unless you wear your heels to the gym, you won’t be able to run far in them. Save fashionable footwear for nights out with a group of friends, or keep a pair of flats with you for walking. from your attacker, if you cannot escape the scene. Plan a safe hiding location inside your home, preferably with two nearby exits. If a serial killer comes in one exit, you should be able to get out using the other. Make sure the put your mobile phone on silent and hold so that it doesn’t vibrate. ” and push your attacker. Keep your voice confident and authoritative and yell as loudly as you can. If anyone is within hearing distance, you might attract their attention.  Even if nobody hears you, you have shown your attacker that you are not an easy target and are not worth the risk.  This is better than yelling “help!” Sometimes people will avoid getting involved if they sense they may also get hurt or have to deal with police after an attack is reported. “Back off” sounds like you are capable of fighting back. Serial killers are typically methodical in making sure there is little risk of getting caught before approaching a potential victim. Pepper spray, extract from hot peppers, can be effective at inhibiting an attacker if used correctly. Find a class teaching proper administration and storage before buying or carrying this device. Many users accidentally spray themselves when the canister gets lost in their bag or purse. Consider it like any other weapon you would need to learn to use correctly to avoid self-injury. There is a lot of advice on the internet for...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Huye. Si no puedes escapar de la escena, escóndete de tu atacante. Grita "¡retrocede! Lleva contigo y aprende a usar el aerosol de pimienta. Aprende técnicas de autodefensa de un instructor capacitado. Utiliza las partes más fuertes de tu cuerpo para contraatacar. Apunta a las partes del cuerpo más vulnerables. Utiliza objetos cotidianos a modo de armas si es necesario. Aprende a escapar de los típicos intentos de ataque.


If you feel you are being bullied, it is important that you not keep the bullying a secret or hide it from people who can help you. You may be afraid to come forward and report the bully due to fear of backlash from the bully or rejection from your peers. Or you may feel socially isolated from everyone around you and feel no one cares about your well being. But reporting the bully will be the first step to getting the bully to stop hurting you and can help you to recover from the trauma caused by the bullying.  If there is a teacher at your school you feel close to and trust, reach out to them and talk to her about the bullying. You may want to wait until after class or before class so there is no one else in the room and you can confide in her one on one. If there is a supervisor that you feel you have a good relationship with, talk to her about the workplace bullying you have been experiencing at work. Set up a meeting one on one so you have some privacy and can confide in her in a comfortable environment. Your school counselor is trained to address bullying and can often provide professional advice on how to deal with your bully. As well, if you go to a therapist regularly, you may want to talk to her about the bully and discuss ways in which you can address the bullying and make it stop. If you are not comfortable with talking to your school counselor, you can also talk to someone via a teen health hotline, found here: http://www.teenhealthandwellness.com/static/hotlines. The hotline is run by individuals trained to help people in need and can often offer a sympathetic ear to discuss your issues. Parents are often unaware that their child is being bullied and are only aware of the signs of bullying once their child brings it to their attention. Reach out to a parent or a sibling you feel you can talk to. Together, you can both work to find a solution for the bullying and make sure it stops before it gets any worse.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Habla con un maestro o un supervisor. Comunícate con un consejero o terapeuta. Cuéntaselo a un padre, compañero, mentor o a alguien cercano a ti.


If you feel yourself getting angry, and are concerned that is might express itself by saying something cruel, find ways to relax yourself quickly. Try some deep breathing from the gut to slow your heartrate, or find a way to think briefly about something else. Repeating a simple mantra like “relax” or “take it easy” is one good way, or visualizing a relaxing experience. Avoid broad generalizations about a person's work or activities. By keeping it specific, you can give the other person something tangible to fix. Broader statements about a person's character are more likely to be taken personally, and are harder to overcome. Specific complaints include referring to moments, saying things like “You drive me crazy when you do that,” or “That was really selfish of you.” These are better than more general statements about a person's self-worth, such as “Why do I even try? You'll never get it” or “You only care about yourself.” Sometimes, people can be cruel because they respond to something quickly. A short response can easily be misinterpreted, so try to expand your answers with an explanation. This lets the other person know what you are trying to say, rather than letting them guess. Allowing someone else to be cruel to you can build anger and resentment, which makes it more likely you will respond in kind. If someone is being cruel to you, address it directly. This is someone you will see often, so not addressing it will more likely lead to greater problems later. Use “I” statements. One cruel way to respond to someone hurting you is to accuse them of doing things wrong. You will probably get an accusatory response right back. A nicer way to get your message across is to talk about how it makes you feel. Saying “I feel diminished when you talk to me that way” is much better than telling someone “That was rude” or “How could you be so dismissive to me.” If you are angry with someone, and feel that you aren't going to be able to control yourself from saying something mean or cruel, do something else. Find an...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Cálmate cuando te enojes. Haz que tus quejas sean específicas. Explica lo que dices. Si alguien te lastima, díselo. No discutas.


If you figured out what type of girl you are interested in, go to places that type of girl might hang out. For instance, if you are interested in a sporty girl, go to local sporting events. If you are interested in meeting a girl that is into punk rock, go to a punk rock show. Even better, go to a punk rock show of a band that has members in the LGBTQ community. The good news is that LGBTQ people are coming out at earlier and earlier ages as time goes by. This means that you will be more likely to find a girl that is willing to be out and be your girlfriend than ever before. Finding other people in the LGBTQ community, even ones who you are not interested in dating, can eventually help you find a girlfriend. Are there any other students at your school or in your neighborhood that you know are lesbian, gay, bi, or trans? If so, make an effort to befriend them. For example, making friends with someone who is gay could lead you to meet their other friends. This, in turn, could lead you to a potential date that you did not know before. To find other LGBTQ people at your school, try joining your local LGBTQ-straight alliance or start one at your school. This will help you to join the broader LGBTQ community in your school, and it will help you to scope out all the girls that might be into dating other girls. Many LGBTQ centers have programs for LGBTQ teenagers. In fact, there may even be a LGBTQ teen community center in your area. These centers are created as safe spaces where you can meet new friends, and potential dates. LGBTQ Pride is an annual event that celebrates the beginning of gay liberation. This event happens in many cities and is usually celebrated in June. In most cases Pride celebrations include a parade and multi-day festival. If you want to meet girls who are interested in dating other girls, the Pride festival can be a great place to do that. Unlike most other places, at a Pride festival you can usually assume that the girls are lesbian or bisexual, instead of straight. You can find other bi girls...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Empieza a buscar a las chicas con las que considerarías salir. Hazte amiga de personas LGBTQ de tu edad. Únete a la alianza gay-heterosexual de tu escuela (de ser el caso). Asiste a un centro LGBTQ local. Asiste a un evento del Orgullo LGBTQ. Busca la comunidad LGBTQ local en línea. Ten cuidado con las chicas heterosexuales.


If you find a nest with no mother, you may have inadvertently frightened the mother away or she left to find food to eat. Leave it alone and check back later – if the mother has not returned, she will most likely not return.  Try to handle them as little as possible, but don't worry too much about this. Unlike birds, mice will not reject their young simply because they have human scent on them. After 4-6 hours, if you check the babies and they do not have white bands on their tummies (“milk bellies”), this means they have not been fed. The mother is either deceased, or has abandoned the nest. If you find a baby wild mouse (or an empty nest of baby mice), call your local wildlife rehabilitation office. Transferring the baby mouse to a wildlife professional is the best chance it has for survival. In the meantime, there are things you can do to try to keep the baby alive.  If there is no rehabilitation office in your area, the next best option is to try to hand-feed the baby. When you call, ask the rehabilitator what they plan to do with the mice. They may try to raise them, or they may use them to feed other animals they are taking care of. If you don't want your baby mouse to wind up as owl food, you'll need to care for them yourself. If the mouse has been attacked by a cat, bacteria in the cat's mouth will almost always cause a fatal infection called septicemia. You can take the mouse to a vet for emergency treatment, but it is unlikely to survive. Line a box with clean, soft rags. Trim off any loose threads that might become tangled around the mouse's legs.  Always wash your hands after handling wild mice. They can carry a very dangerous, highly contagious virus called Hantavirus. If the baby survives the first few days, transfer it to a glass or plastic ventilated container that it won't be able to chew through. A baby mouse should be kept warm – 80-100 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal (you can check this with a thermometer.) Turn a heating pad to its lowest setting and wrap it in a soft, clean towel or rag....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de que hayan abandonado el nido. Llama a un especialista en rehabilitación de vida silvestre. Lleva inmediatamente al veterinario a los ratones víctimas de un gato. Haz que el bebé se sienta cómodo. Mantén al ratón caliente. Obtén una jeringa de alimentación pequeña. Rehidrata al ratón bebé.


If you find a stray dog with no tags, take the dog to a veterinarian or a rescue shelter to have the dog scanned for the presence of a microchip. These chips register dogs in the event that they escape their homes, are lost, or are abandoned.  Some stray dogs have accidentally become separated or lost from their owner, and they are actually a much loved family pet. In these cases, reuniting the pet with their owner is definitely the right thing to do, no matter how much you have fallen in love with the stray. It might also turn out that the dog is chipped but the owner has deliberately dumped him. Identifying the owner via the chip could allow the authorities to prosecute the owner for neglect. If you’ve just acquired a stray dog, be sure to take him to visit a veterinarian as soon as possible. It is important for you to be as informed as possible about your new canine companion. Your vet will be able to distinguish between a dog that’s recently gotten dirty and a dog that’s been neglected to the point of becoming filthy. Your vet will also be able to tell if the dog has been a victim of animal cruelty, physical abuse, and/or extreme neglect.  The vet will look for any signs of ill health which could explain the animal's poor state, as well as assess cuts or injuries, and advise you as to what treatment is necessary to fix these problems. If you got the dog from a shelter, you can also direct many of your questions towards them. They may have records on the original owners of the dog. Even if the dog you are caring for does not seem rabid when you take him in, it is possible that he has rabies and may begin to show signs after several days. There is no way to be sure about whether or not a dog is rabid, other than to biopsy its brain, which requires waiting until the animal dies or euthanizing it.   Do not attempt to catch a dog that seems aggressive or that is acting in a strange way. Call animal control to catch the dog.  If you are determined to care for the animal, talk to your veterinarian about testing...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Intenta encontrar al dueño. Lleva al perro al veterinario. Toma medidas para protegerte de la rabia. Asegúrate de que reciba las vacunas apropiadas. Habla con tu veterinario sobre cualquier problema emocional o conductual que tu nuevo perro pueda tener.


If you find a thin, rectangular slot into which your memory card will fit on your computer, you can insert the memory card without an adapter. If you do find a memory card slot on your computer, skip the next step. Chances are high that your computer doesn't have a memory card slot, so you'll need to use a USB memory card adapter. Memory card adapters can usually support both standard SD cards and microSD cards, though you may need a separate one for larger, non-SD cards. Plug your memory card's adapter into one of your computer's USB ports. If a window on your computer opens when you do this, you can close it. If your computer has a memory card slot, make sure that the memory card's label is face-up (gold connector side-down), then push the memory card into your computer angled side first. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Type in this pc, then click This PC at the top of the Start window. You'll find your memory card listed below the "Devices and drives" heading in the middle of the This PC window. If you don't see anything listed below the "Devices and drives" heading, double-click the heading to expand it. Doing so prompts a drop-down menu. It's in the middle of the drop-down menu. This will open the Format menu. This option is in the middle of the menu. Doing so prompts a drop-down menu.

If you find an opportunity to roll the dice while the other players are talking, do not call for their attention just so they can watch you roll. Let them stay distracted, and roll the dice. Before anyone can see the numbers, move your marker wherever you want it. Be sure you know how many spaces you move so when your opponent asks you what you rolled, you can give them an answer that matches the spot you moved to. If a player questions your move, just keep a straight face, and keep with the lie. Instead of showing off these cards when you draw them, act pleased with whatever card you get, and collect what amount is requested on the card, even if the card is telling you to pay. Then, quickly put the card back into the pile and move on. If the other players are not paying attention to their properties, or where you land, let it go unnoticed. The official rules explain that you will not have to pay if your opponent has still not noticed by the time two other people take a turn.  Try to get the next two players to take their turn by complaining about how the game is moving too slowly. This will hopefully speed up the game so you won't have to pay! Keep the owner of the property you landed on distracted. Tell that person a funny joke, or tell them a long story until the next two turns are taken.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lanza los dados rápidamente. Oculta tus tarjetas de Casualidad y Arca Comunal. No señales cuando caigas en una de las propiedades de tu oponente.


If you find one, you can be sure you’re dealing with a newborn kitten.  The mother usually bites the cord until it breaks. The remaining “stump” will be a small piece of tissue hanging off the kitten’s belly. Cats’ umbilical cord stumps usually fall off in the first 3 days of life. If your kitten still has a cord stump, it is likely only days old. A kitten’s eyes will go through several developmental stages as the begin to open and then ultimately change color.  Looking at and watching for changes in the eyes can help you assess a kitten’s age.  Kittens do not open their eyes until they reach about ten to 14 days in age, but some do open their eyes as early as 7 to 10 days.  If your kitten has closed eyes, he is likely a newborn. If your kitten has already opened its eyes, she is at least a full week old. If your kitten's eyes are just starting to open but still appear squinty, she may be in her second or third week of life. When kittens begin opening their eyes, the eyes are bright blue in color, regardless of what color their eyes turn later as they grow up. If you have an older kitten and you notice her eyes beginning to change color, she is likely around 6-7 weeks old. At this time, the irises will begin to transition to their permanent, mature color.  Note that if the kitten is growing into a mature, blue-eyed cat, you may not be able to observe any color change to help you determine its age. Like the eyes, a kitten’s ears go through developmental changes in the early stages of development.  You may be able to pinpoint the age of a younger kitten based on characteristics of or changes to the ears.  If your kitten’s the ears are stuck close to her head, she is probably less than one week old. Baby kittens are born with their ear canals closed, which results in ears that appear flattened back against the head. A kitten's ears will begin to open up at between 5 and 8 days in age. Watch for the kitten’s ears to pop up. The kitten’s ears will take longer to open than its eyes. Though the closed ear canals...

If you find out your crush does like someone else, don’t beat yourself up! Steer clear of harsh self-talk and instead focus on the great things about you that you love. Just because this person doesn’t like you doesn’t mean you’re not worthy of being liked—it just isn’t working out in this particular situation. To keep yourself from being bitter, avoid villainizing the person your crush chose to be with. Instead, work on accepting that your crush is their own person who can make their own choices. It might hurt that they didn’t choose you, but it’ll be okay in the end. Try to keep in mind that you don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t want to be with you, too. Most likely, your feelings won’t go away overnight. Even if you were friends with this person before, it might healthiest for you to put a little space between you. Seeing them constantly won’t help you get over your crush and move forward with your life. Take some time to readjust your expectations for this person. If you were friends before, you might want to think about their role in your life. Maybe you can still be friends but just not be as close as you used to be. Try your best to get out of your head and focus on living your life while you’re trying to get over your crush. It can be really hard and you may feel like hibernating for a few weeks while you nurse your heartache, but take this time to invest in your friendships, practice some self-care, and enjoy your hobbies. It’s also totally okay to be sad and feel your feelings. Just try to not dwell in that sadness for too long. Sometimes simply verbalizing what you’ve been feeling can be really healing and make those feelings less intense. Ask a trusted friend if you can talk to them about something, and then just let it all out. Even if they already knew about your crush, it can be helpful to verbally work through your sadness about it not working out. Try to avoid complaining for weeks on end about your situation, though. That can be really trying for a friend and annoy them. Instead of...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Evita culparte o pensar que no eres lo suficientemente bueno. Recuerda que la persona que te gusta tiene derecho a sentir interés y estar con alguien más. Date tiempo y espacio para superar un enamoramiento no correspondido. Enfócate en ti mismo, en tus amigos y en las cosas que disfrutas hacer. Habla con un amigo de confianza acerca de tus sentimientos. Date permiso para sentir interés por alguien más (o no).


If you find that home remedies aren’t helping get rid of the milia, make an appointment to see a dermatologist. Try jotting down some notes before your appointment so that you can give them specific information. Think about how long you’ve dealt with milia, and how frequently it appears.   Ask family or friends for a recommendation to a dermatologist they trust. You can also look at online reviews to find one with a good reputation. Remember that milia is really common, and not a bad thing to have. You only need to take steps to get rid of it if it is bothering you. A dermatologist will be able to apply a stronger chemical peel than you can at home. Talk to your dermatologist about your expectations and they can decide whether you need a light peel or a more aggressive peel. The peel will not hurt.  After the peel, your skin might be red and feel irritated for a few days. Follow the dermatologist’s instructions on how to care for your skin after a peel. During extractions, a professional will use either a special tool or their hands to unclog your skin. Extractions are usually not painful, but you might feel a little pressure on stubborn spots. You can schedule a facial with extractions with either a dermatologist or aesthetician.   Laser ablation accomplishes the same goals as extractions but does so using a laser beam. The laser is put on a low setting and heats up the material clogging your skin to a point where it evaporates or sublimates. Follow all instructions after an extraction. You might need to lay off products with Retinol for a day or 2, or go makeup-free for the rest of the day. If you don't want to get extractions, you don't have to! Milia is a cosmetic concern, and won't hurt you if it doesn't go away.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Acude a un dermatólogo si los remedios caseros no funcionan. Programa una exfoliación química profesional. Sométete a una limpieza profunda con extracciones profesionales o ablaciones láser.


If you find that you get especially nervous before making a speech, you might consider using relaxation techniques shortly before you're due to talk. Find a quiet place and take a few minutes to prepare yourself. Take some deep breaths, focus on your breathing, and count the seconds that pass as you breathe in slowly, then exhale slowly.  You can also try some visualization techniques to help ease your nervousness and give you confidence for your speech. Imagine the way you will feel when you have finished delivering your speech and are met with smiling faces and resounding applause. Then channel that confidence into the actual speech you are about to deliver. It may seem like a minor point, but a slouching posture could make you appear less confident or less professional, and it may be distracting to your audience. Stand up straight and try to project a strong image. You may find it helpful to push your chest out and suck your stomach in a little to help you keep a straight back, but try to keep it natural-looking.  Avoid crossing your arms or clutching your hands.  Don't stare down at the ground or cling to the table or lecture in front of you. Make eye contact across the room in a measured and controlled way. Avoid lingering on one person, but also avoid darting your eyes back and forth restlessly. Try making eye contact with one person on the left side of the room, then one person on the right side of the room. Shift across the room, but in a controlled way that feels natural and relaxed. You don't want to drag out your speech, but you also don't want to stumble over your words or read so fast that nobody can understand you. Try to find a balance and speed that you are comfortable with. You need to speak slowly enough that everyone can follow along and understand what you're saying, but not so slowly that it makes your speech lag.  Aim for a comfortable, conversational pace of dialogue.  Practicing your speech in front of other people, or recording it and listening back are great ways to judge the tempo...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Relájate. Adopta un buen lenguaje corporal. No te apresures. Recurre al humor si cometes un error.


If you find things are beginning to take on an unpleasant taste, or if food you have enjoyed in the past is no longer desirable, this may be indicative of a larger problem. There's a long list of causes for a lingering bad taste, from the side of effects from over-the-counter medication to use of tobacco products and so on. If you find yourself looking to dull bad tastes often, consider an appointment with a physician. A good, well-kept hygiene regimen is crucial to having your taste buds at their best. However, normal brushing and flossing won't always remove every last lingering bacteria which might cause consistent foul tastes. Tongue scrapers are inexpensive and using them is an easy addition to your morning and night routines. Many toothbrushes today include their own tongue scrapers on the reverse side of the brush head. Look for these for an economic option. Many unpleasant tastes might be the unfortunate consequence of perception or circumstance. Maybe something you ate or drank prior made something taste poorly, or perhaps whatever you're eating might not have been made as best it could. In any case, don't be afraid to revisit things that have put you off in the past.  If there's a particular cuisine you avoid, consider it again at a restaurant you've never patronized. One which is well-recommended online or by friends. Never let one bad experience turn you away from something entirely. If there's a particular dish which you've found middling or inconsistent, try looking up recipes online and learning to cook it yourself. When you cook for yourself you'll have ample opportunity to alter the dish to your taste.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consulta con un médico. Cepíllate la lengua. Amplía tu paladar.


If you find your friend is copying the way you dress or other aspects of your personal style, switch things up a little bit. This might show your friend that it’s okay to embrace different styles. Maybe she'll even experiment with different styles on her own. If your friend is wearing the same fashions and hairstyles as you, don't give them the information she needs to continue copying you. This might push her in the direction of developing her own style.  Suggests places and styles that might encourage her to develop her own style. Be vague about where you get your stuff. Don't go shopping with your friend. If your friend hasn’t really taken other cues from you, hold back a little bit. Don’t share everything that you think and feel. Especially don’t share the things that you think she might try to make her own. This will hopefully encourage her to think for herself and to embrace her own uniqueness and individuality. Some of the worst copycats will try to steal your creations and make others think that they are her own. There are a number of things you can do to avoid this problem.  If your copycat is the one who steals your writing and art, sign it and date it. If your friend copies your room styles and belongings, be creative. If you want to, buy stuff and wear stuff they won’t be able to find. But don’t let this go too far, you don’t want to lose your own unique style. Announce ideas or anything you’ve produced on social media so that everyone knows who is responsible for them. Part of the problem you have with your copycat might be the fact that you share the same social circle. This could lead to a series of problems, including your copycat wanting to date the same people as you or steal your crush. But if you create a social circle independent of your copycat, it will be much harder for her to imitate you and steal your show.  Rely on friends and family from different parts of your town or community to introduce you to a different social group. If your copycat and you go to the same school, find some...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Alterna tu estilo. Evita compartir una información acerca de tus hábitos como consumidor. Mantén tus pensamientos más personales para ti mismo.

If you find yourself anxious, distracted, or unable to focus, stop what you are doing and take a few deep, slow breaths. Breathe in through your nostrils, then breathe out slowly through your mouth or nose.  If you can, sit or lie down in a quiet, comfortable place for a few minutes while you do this. Close your eyes and try to concentrate on the sensations of your breathing. Deep breathing sends more oxygen to your brain and signals your mind and body to relax. This can calm your racing thoughts and make it easier to focus. It's hard to concentrate and think clearly if you're physically uncomfortable. Take a moment to mindfully assess how you're feeling. Close your eyes and make note of any sensations you are experiencing, and do whatever you can to make yourself feel more comfortable. For example:  If you realize that you feel hungry, take a break and have a nutritious snack. If your muscles feel tense, do some stretches. If you're cold, turn up the thermostat or put on a sweater. Stop and listen to the noise in your environment for a moment. If there's a lot of background noise (like people talking, a TV or radio playing, or traffic sounds), then this might be stressing you out and making it harder for you to focus. If you can, go someplace quieter so that you can concentrate on your thoughts. If you can't move to a quieter space, you might be able to do things to make your environment less noisy. For example, you could close a window or door that's letting in noise, turn on a fan or other source of white noise, or listen to quiet music over headphones. . Writing down what you need to do can help you organize your thoughts and develop a clear plan of action. Think about the steps you need to take to complete the task at hand, and write them down. If you're having trouble focusing because of all the other tasks you need to do, write a more general list for the whole day.  To-do lists not only serve as a guide for your thoughts and actions, but also help you focus by taking your mind off of incomplete jobs...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Tómate un momento para respirar. Lidia con las necesidades físicas si puedes. Ve a un lugar tranquilo si debes hacerlo. Haz una lista de quehaceres Anota tus pensamientos y tus sentimientos.


If you find yourself constantly fatigued or groggy, you may be missing something imperative to your diet. It can get pretty easy to eat the same things day in and day out, but with a vegan diet, that's not kosher. Make sure you're getting enough protein, calcium, iron, vitamin everything...the list could go on, but it would exceed your bandwidth usage.  Taking a supplement is a good idea. A daily multi-vitamin will ensure that you're getting everything you need. If you have questions, talk to your local pharmacist or get in a quick chat with your doctor. There are no reliable plant sources of B12 (B12 found in plants is usually due to contamination with animal feces), which can lead to deficiency. You should take a B12 supplement. Deficiency in best cases can cause significant fatigue/debility. In worst cases, it can increase heart disease risk and anemia and may also cause severe irreversible damage to the nervous system. A good tip is to eat foods that are fortified with B12 (check the label) such as yeast flakes, cereals and nondairy milk. If taking Omega-3 supplements, keep in mind that most are made from fish oil, and are not vegan. Vegan sources of Omega-3s include flaxseeds, flax oil, and walnuts. 1 tsp of flax oil meets your daily needs. After learning how to cope with the extreme makeover in your kitchen, your budget, your past time, your health, and your appearance, make it a point to treat yourself to a new wardrobe, a vacation, or a new kitchen. You've earned it! There is nothing more satisfying than being acknowledged for pleasing somebody else's tummy. Treat some family or friends to a gourmet meal that you yourself prepared with all the trimmings.  Be a vegan evangelist through positive demonstration (not through nagging) and help others discover how they too can make that transition from eating flesh to savoring fresh, whole foods. That being said, those around you take into account your dietary needs, so take into account theirs. Not everyone will be thrilled when presented with a tofu steak....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantener el equilibrio. Prémiate. Comparte tu alegría.


If you find yourself getting drowsy, it's time to move about. Try to take a short walk, even if it's just to the bathroom or break room. 20 minutes is ideal, but if you can't manage that, just try a quick walk around the office or a few jumping jacks to get your blood pumping. If you find yourself getting sleepy at your computer, it's time to take a break, at least from staring at the screen. Try to look at something else across the room for at least five minutes. It's no secret that caffeine can help you stay awake; however, science has shown it's best to spread out your caffeine throughout the day instead of taking one big dose in the morning in the form of three or four cups of coffee. To spread it out, try drinking something with a lower amount of caffeine, such as green tea, more often throughout the day, or just drinking smaller amounts of coffee at a time. Also, don't drink caffeine too close to bedtime, as it can keep you awake, making you more tired the next day. Try to stop the caffeine about six hours before bedtime (and remember chocolate contains caffeine!). Music can help rev up your energy, especially if it's something you like. Instead of sticking to silence, plug in some headphones if you're at work or crank up the radio if you're at home. It's hard to fall asleep if you're bopping your head along to your favorite song. You don't actually have to use soap; however, taking a trip to the bathroom to throw some cold water on your face can help you wake up. If you've got makeup on, try putting some cold water on the back of your neck.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Levántate y muévete. Deja de mirar tu computadora. Distribuye tu consumo de cafeína. Prueba con un poco de música. Lávate la cara.


If you find yourself getting less than the required seven to nine hours of sleep a night, you can amass a sleep debt. If you do this routinely, you may find yourself constantly tired and in need of more sleep. This cuts down on productivity and decreases your overall health. To catch up on sleep (or "pay back" your sleep debt), try taking a consistent nap every day for a few days. This can help make up for the hours you missed over the days before.  You can also try catching up on sleep on the weekends, but this can throw off your normal sleep routine, so be careful with how much you sleep in. This change in sleep pattern can make it hard for you to fall asleep on Sunday, which can start the process again the next week.  This can be helpful if you are a student and you have to cram for exams or spend all night writing a paper. Make sure you leave yourself enough time to catch up on the sleep the next few nights. If you find yourself with a busy schedule that makes it hard for you to get enough sleep, you need to start changing your schedule to include more sleep. Don't try to change it all at once. If you usually go to bed at midnight or 1 am, try going to bed 15 minutes earlier for a few nights. Continue doing this each night, going back an additional 15 minutes every few nights. Eventually, you can move back your bedtime an hour or two, which will help you get more sleep each night. This will help you avoid sleep debts, since you will be getting more sleep each night. If you are working with a hectic schedule that is constantly filled with things you have to do, make time for sleep. If you schedule every part of your day, move things around in your schedule so you have time to sleep. This may mean letting go of some extra activities that aren't necessary or required.  Even if you have a busy schedule that has just a little room for change, make those changes to benefit your sleep schedule. The more sleep you have, the more productive you will be at the rest of your necessary activities. This is really...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Recupera el sueño perdido. Haz cambios graduales. Dale prioridad al sueño.


If you find yourself getting too attached to someone, the best way to avoid falling for them is by distancing yourself from them. If you’re constantly hanging out with them and/or communicating with them through phone calls and text messages, your feelings will likely grow and you’ll think about them a lot. Take a step back and make other plans and/or leave your phone in the other room for a while. If you’re a direct, expressive, outgoing person, it may feel better to verbalize this choice to your crush. If this is the case, say something like, “I'm sorry, but I need to step back from this relationship.” Do your best to resist temptations to check your crush’s Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter profile. Doing this will make it harder to get your mind off of your crush and may only make you like them more. If you can’t resist the temptation, take a break from social media entirely to get your mind on other things.  To keep from seeing your crush’s Facebook posts, go to their profile page and click “unfollow.” This will keep them your friend, but will also keep their posts from popping up on your newsfeed. Consider turning off your push notifications for Instagram by going into “settings” on your device, tapping “notifications,” selecting “Instagram,” and then switching off “allow notifications.” When you’re feeling strong emotions, it’s easy to get swept up and not look at the situation logically or realistically. To avoid falling in love, think back on past relationships and flings where things ended badly or didn’t turn out the way you’d hoped. Don’t ruminate on these past experiences, but use them to ground yourself. Look back on a fight you had with your ex and say to yourself, “That was hard and painful and I don’t want to go through that again. I’m in a better place now and things are great the way they are.” If you spend a lot of time sitting around, then it’ll be tough to keep yourself from thinking about your crush. It’s much easier to avoid falling for them if you’re busy focusing on other things each...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reduce todo contacto con la persona que te gusta. Aléjate de las redes sociales. Reflexiona sobre las malas relaciones que hayas tenido. Mantente ocupado.


If you find yourself over-anxious or distressed over the possibility of a fire alarm, there could be any of several psychological or physiological causes. Not all symptoms share the same underlying issue.  Consider talking to a licensed therapist or counselor to help determine the cause of your anxiety. For example, “ligyrophobia” is the fear of sudden and unexpected loud noises. Maybe your fear is more related to the sudden, unexpected nature of a fire alarm rather than the alarm itself.  Phonophobia and ligyrophobia may be related to sensory processing disorder, or SPD. SPD occurs when the brain has trouble sending and receiving signals, and is sometimes linked to various other conditions, such as ADHD, autism, and genetic conditions. Cognitive behavioral therapy has shown great success in handling phobias and anxiety disorders. The first step in most treatment programs is to identify the false associations that your mind is making to the fire alarm. Ask yourself:   “What is it that I fear exactly?” ”What am I ultimately afraid will happen?” ”Why do I think this will happen?” ”When do these thoughts arise?” Alone and with help from others, call yourself out when you make an irrational association. Each time the unwarranted fear strikes you, make it a point to pause and challenge the thought.  Tell yourself, “This is not a rational fear.” Consider your fear a “false alarm” that your mind has created. Remind yourself, “I do not need to fear this sound. It is only a warning, an alert.” Enlist friends to call you out kindly when you make irrational associations. Just challenging your negative associations and thoughts is not enough. Each time the anxiety strikes you, challenge the thought and then offer a positive, rational replacement for it.  Replace “what if” fears with “what else” options.  For example, you might say, “I will not burst into flames as soon as I hear this sound. I will walk out of the house is an orderly manner.” Maybe you say to yourself, “This sound is not dangerous. In fact, it helps me...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Identifica la causa de tu miedo. Reconoce tus pensamientos negativos e irracionales. Cuestiona tus pensamientos negativos. Sustituye de inmediato los pensamientos negativos por otros realistas. Trata a tu miedo como si fuera un pensamiento más. Emplea la relajación y las habilidades para enfrentar problemas. Confronta tu miedo poco a poco. Establece asociaciones positivas con el tiempo.


If you find yourself staying at home for a while, you'll probably rely on the TV for a lot of your entertainment. To avoid flipping through the channels mindlessly, check out a streaming app that offers full seasons of various shows, or find a movie franchise that you've been meaning to get into. Just be sure to take regular breaks to stretch and rest your eyes. If you don't already have a streaming app, check to see if any are offering free trials. That way, you'll have at least a few days' worth of entertainment at your fingertips, but you won't have to pay anything if you cancel before the trial is over. Grab your siblings or other family members and play a team game of hide and seek. It can be fun hiding and seeing how hard it is for others to find you! Make a playlist of your favorite songs or put on an album you love, then enjoy the comfort that you only get from listening to a song you know by heart. Not only will this help pass a little time, but a familiar song can make you feel a little less alone, even if you live by yourself.  Listen to whatever you love. Depending on your personality, you might find comfort in a beautiful classical composition, an upbeat pop song, or raucous hip-hop or punk music! If there are other people in your home, you can either all take turns picking songs, or have everyone put on headphones if you can't agree on what to listen to. Puzzles are a great way to keep your critical thinking skills engaged, even if you end up not working or doing schoolwork for a while. For instance, you might download a crossword puzzle app, buy a Sudoku book, or put together a particularly challenging jigsaw puzzle if you have the space for it. A little light-hearted competition can be a fun way to pass some time, so break out your old favorites like Risk, Rummy, Monopoly, and Candy Land. Just remember not to take the games too seriously—you'll still be in close quarters with your family members for a while, so don't gloat too much if you win, and don't take it too badly if you lose. If your...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz una maratón de un programa nuevo o una película. Sumérgete por completo en un libro. Escucha música. Resuelve rompecabezas para mantener la mente agudizada. Juega un juego de mesa y cartas con tu familia. Trabaja de forma remota, en caso de ser posible.


If you find you’re your food allergies or symptoms are getting worse or you are having trouble coping with them, schedule an appointment with your doctor. They can run tests for you, speak to you about how to cope, or suggest a psychiatrist to help you.  Your doctor may suggest running additional allergy tests including blood or skin tests, an elimination diet, a food diary, or an oral food challenge to figure out what is making you sick.  Your doctor may also test for other conditions related to food allergies such as: anxiety, depression, or exercise.  Ask your doctor if there is any medication that may help you. Make sure to take any medication they suggest or prescribe.  The best treatment is often avoidance if possible. If you cannot avoid the food, ensure that you have a plan in case you are exposed. Depending on the severity, you may need to carry an epinephrine pen at all times if an anaphylactic reaction may result from exposure. Consider seeing a counselor if you are having a hard time coping with your food allergies. Ask your doctor to refer you to a certified dietitian if you are having a hard time with your diet. A dietitian can help you learn to recognize triggers, identify and prepare nutritious alternative foods, and develop a meal plan that promotes your health.  Find a dietitian or health professional that specializes food allergies. They can give you information on safe food choices, hidden triggers, and figuring out alternative meals when eating out. If you can’t find a dietician or health professional that specializes in food allergies, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics lists registered dietitians in your area. Letting others know about your food allergies can be an important part of dealing with the condition. Being open about your triggers may prevent uncomfortable situations or questions, and it also may alert people to your condition in the event of an allergy attack.  Let friends, family members, co-workers, caregivers, and other important individuals know about your allergies....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca tratamiento médico. Consulta con un nutricionista. Alerta a los demás sobre tu alergia. Ignora los estigmas o la presión social. Únete a un grupo de apoyo. Prepárate para los posibles ataques.


If you focus on just memorizing the formula, chances are you won't be able to remember it for very long. But if you understand each part of the formula and how they work together, it can be easier to remember them. So let's say you know that speed is the amount of time it takes an object to travel a certain distance. So to figure out speed, you need to know how far the object went and how long it took to get there: so divide the distance traveled by the amount of time it took to get there. If you know all this, you can figure out that speed = change in distance/change in time. Most physics and math formulas build on things you've already learned. If you're having trouble memorizing new formulas, go back and review the formulas that came before. For example, say you're having a hard time remembering the formula for velocity, but you know velocity is an object's speed in a specific direction. Review the formula for speed, which is distance over time. Then you know that velocity is just speed with a direction attached. The more you practice with each formula, plugging in different values, the more you'll understand how it works. Understanding how it works can help you to remember the formula itself.  Practicing each formula will take a bit of time, but it's worth it, especially if you have a big exam coming up, or if you're going to need these formulas for your career. You can find practice questions in your textbook, or search for practice tests online. If you're having a hard time find extra questions to practice with, ask your teacher for some.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Desglosa las partes de la fórmula. Analiza en qué se basa la fórmula. Practica cada fórmula.


If you form a corporation or LLC, you'll need to file Articles of Incorporation or Organization with your state's Secretary of State. Generally, there should be printed, fill-in-the-blank forms you can use. You'll need to provide basic information about your company, such as its principal place of business, registered agent, and the name of one or more directors or incorporators.  You'll also need to pay a filing fee, which will vary depending on your jurisdiction. You might be able to register online, which can speed up the approval process. You'll need rules in place for running your investment company. You should find sample documents from other investment companies. These documents will explain who can make business decisions and how. Typically, you don't file these documents. Instead, you store them at your principal place of business.  If you form a corporation, you'll need to draft bylaws. In your bylaws, you should discuss how people can be appointed as officers or board members. Also explain how shareholder or board of director meetings can be called.  If you form a partnership, you'll need a partnership agreement. Your agreement should explain the ownership percentage and how profits and losses are allocated. You also want to clarify who can bind the partnership and what will happen if a partner dies.  If you form a LLC, you'll need to draft an operating agreement. This document will be similar to a partnership agreement. Identify the owners and their percentage of ownership. Also divide profits and losses. Investment advisors typically need one or more licenses to practice in their jurisdictions. You should thoroughly research the requirements and give yourself enough time to pass the written exams. In the U.S., for example, licensed financial advisors have a Series 65 license. To obtain it, you'll need to pass a three-hour exam on basic securities laws and ethics. Once you pass, you'll be a licensed investment advisor in your state. Talk to your lawyer about your registration requirements. In the...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Presenta la documentación en tu jurisdicción. Crea los documentos operativos. Obtén las licencias requeridas. Regístrate en el gobierno, en caso de ser necesario. Crea una cuenta para operar. Obtén tu identificación fiscal para pagar los impuestos en tu jurisdicción.


If you gamble often, there's probably someone in your life feeling neglected. Use your newfound time to cultivating your relationships with family members and close friends. During the time you would normally spend gambling, plan a date with your spouse, a movie night with your kids, or a hike with your pals. If the exhilaration makes you gamble, find healthy behaviors that are just as exciting. Consider sports like running, playing basketball, or rock climbing. Challenge yourself with new   exercise routines such as weight-lifting or high-intensity interval training. The upside to this approach is that you will experience an endorphin rush while also supporting your health and wellness. Did you once enjoy an activity, but stopped doing it? If so, rekindle your neglected passions to keep yourself busy during your free time. Fill your hours with constructive hobbies like gardening, painting, writing, sailing, or restoring furniture.  Use your hobbies to connect with others by joining local clubs or organizations. Doing this can help you link up with people who aren't connected to gambling, especially if many of your old friends still gamble. If you don’t want to get back into an old hobby, consider getting into a new one. Try something new that you’ve never tried before, as this may challenge and stimulate you. Your tendency to gamble may have developed from a need to escape everyday life stress. Rather than placing bets, start doing relaxation techniques like  meditation,  yoga, or  progressive muscle relaxation. Doing these exercises daily can help you keep stress at bay. Think of creative and meaningful ways to use your money for a more important reason than gambling. Set up automatic drafts from your paycheck to ensure your extra money goes to savings or investments. For example, you might save or invest for an exciting vacation, your retirement, or your kid's education.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pasa tiempo libre con familiares y amigos. Haz actividades físicas que te entusiasmen. Escoge un pasatiempo antiguo para lidiar con el aburrimiento. Combate el estrés con ejercicios de relajación. Compromete tu dinero a una buena causa.


If you gate checked or luggage checked your car seat, getting them when you get off the plane should be your top priority. Many car seats look alike, so make sure the car seat is actually yours before you take it away. If there is any damage to the car seat, try reporting it to the airline. However, it most cases the airlines are not liable for damages to fragile items such as car seats and strollers.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de recoger el asiento de carro correcto. Reporta cualquier daño a la aerolínea, pero no esperes reembolso.


If you get HPV, visit your gynecologist for a pap test. The pap test is used to determine if the cells in your uterus are shaped abnormally. This can occur if you have HPV-16 and HPV-18, the two types of HPV that can cause cancer. Your doctor will probably ask you to return in a year, and every year after that to check on your abnormal cells. This will continue until your body clears the infection. Because cervical cancer is so slow to develop, and because you may heal in the meantime, you shouldn't worry in between visits. Your doctor will catch it if anything is happening. If you already have HPV, the vaccine will not treat or cure the infection. However, it will help protect you from getting other forms of HPV. The HPV vaccine is given in a series of 3 separate shots. The 2nd shot is administered 2 months after the 1st shot, and the 3rd shot is administered 4 months after the 2nd shot.  If you are 9 to 14 years old, you will only need 2 shots. Each shot can cost up to $240. Your health insurance will likely cover this vaccine.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Visita al médico para hacerte un examen de Papanicolaou. Examínate cada 12 meses si tienes un comportamiento celular anormal. Vacúnate contra el VPH.


If you get a bad feeling from a particular inspector or company, don't be afraid to choose another. There are plenty of companies to choose from, and you should be comfortable with your choice.  As with all decisions when it comes to buying a home, your choice of home inspector really matters. Its expensive, but its an investment into your home and your future. Its worth it to take your time and find the right company. If you know you will be looking for a home, its a good idea to do your shopping for a home inspection company before you want to make an offer on a house. That way, you don't have to spend time shopping around while someone else comes along and snatches up the house you had your eye on. In rare cases, an inspector fails to notice or report a significant issue with the home, which can result in problems for the home buyer.  You may have a legal case against your inspector if he or she missed a significant issue. For example, if you unknowingly purchase a home with termites, and the inspector did not include termites in the report, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the home inspection company for the cost of exterminating and repairing damages. Be sure to check their report to be sure they failed to mention the issue.  Be sure to check the contract with the home inspection company, which might include a clause that limits its liability for mistakes and oversights. If you carefully read this contract up front, hopefully you avoided dealing with companies that do not assume liability for not performing their job. In many cases, you may not be able to prove that the company is liable for missing a significant issue with your home, or you may not want to pursue the issue in court because the cost and time is not worth it to you. Still, you should file a complaint against a company that fails to do its job.   The process of filing a complaint against a home inspection company can vary by state. Check online for your state's real estate commission website, which usually offers information on...

TL;DR in Spanish:

No tengas miedo de comparar precios. Considera tus opciones, en el caso de que la inspección pase por alto un problema importante. Aprende a presentar un reclamo.
