You may need to use a third pillow if you are making a bed for a large dog. You will probably need to sew by hand to avoid jamming the pillow into your sewing machine. Depending on the strength of your sewing, you may want to sew the pillows together on top where they meet in little valleys. This will help the pillows stay together and also create a more consistent shape. It helps to measure the pillows with a tape measure or yardstick and then transfer the necessary dimensions to a piece of fabric before cutting. Make sure to account for the height of the pillows by adding about four to six inches of extra fabric to each side of the cutout.  You can also lay the fabric over the pillows and mark where the fabric meets the pillow edges using a pen. Alternately, you can use old curtains instead of purchasing new fabric to save money and recycle your old things. Drape one piece over the pillow and place the other piece underneath the pillow. Make sure that the edges of the fabric match up. You can either fold as you sew or pre-pin all four sides of the bed before sewing using safety pins or sewing pins. Make sure to leave one side open in order to stuff the pillows inside. Make sure that the bed is evenly stuffed corner to corner. Snip any loose threads.  If you are seasoned at sewing, consider attaching a zipper to the fourth side of the bed. This makes it easier to wash the covering without having to wash the pillows as well. The bed can sit alone on the floor of your home, or you can place the bed in an adequately shaped box or basket for extra support and a more polished look. If using a box or basket, you can also sew strips of fabric onto the side of the bed to act as ties. You can then tie the pieces of fabric to the box or basket to prevent the bed from sliding.

You may never have any intention of meeting your online conversants offline, but if you do, it's important to ask them appropriately and respectfully. Don't ask any information of them you wouldn't like to provide yourself. Offer a safe, public space for meeting up (for both your protection and theirs!).  Choose a venue that gives you both the chance to converse as long as you desire with the possibility of leaving at any time. Going for a movie would be a bad choice, for example, because it is unacceptable to talk during a film. Dinner makes for a bad first meet-up as well, since it can be awkward to leave a meal before finishing if you or your conversant is feeling uncomfortable. If the website or application does not normally lead to real-world meet-ups, as with many online forums dedicated to shared interests, proceed with an extra level of care. Done offhandedly and with little thought, your request can seem intimidating or suspicious. Meeting online conversants offline is not all that different from meeting anyone else in the real world. You can't impress someone if you aren't trying to impress them. Treat the other like you would a friend you hadn't seen in years: with warmth, interest, and a respectful degree of personal space and distance. Keep in mind, however, that you are mutually strangers to one another, and that you both know very little still about the other--it takes time to build intimacy, and online intimacy is worlds apart from offline intimacy!

You may not be able to talk during class, but sitting next to people who you like can make the classroom more enjoyable. If this isn’t possible due to assigned seating, try to be friendly with the people that surround you. Liking the people you’re in class with makes the experience a lot easier. If you’re having trouble starting a conversation, ask about last night’s homework. If you don’t want the subject to be about school, compliment them on their hair, outfit, or backpack. Avoid getting into trouble during class by saving your talking for the break. Even if it’s just a few minutes, use that time to talk with your friends. If you’re teacher isn’t busy during break, you can use that time to talk with them. It doesn’t hurt to get to know your teachers. If you don’t have a break, chat with your friends a few minutes before or after class. You will be spending a lot of time with your classmates, so it is good to get to know as many of them as possible. Don’t be afraid to talk to a new person. They will already have things in common with you, like age and what you’re learning. It’s especially nice to talk to the students who are shy and don’t seem to have many friends. Ask the person about their interests and what they enjoy doing outside of class.

You may not even realize you're being bullied, or contributing to the bullying of others. The first sign is often that you feel bad about yourself when certain people are around. This is especially true of bullies who are girls. While girl bullies may use violence and verbal taunts or threats, they are skilled at using relational aggression to hurt others too. Relational aggression refers to behavior that aims to diminish social standing and relationships. A bully might spread rumors, try to get you to do embarrassing things, or point out flaws or mistakes to humiliate you, exclude you from group activities, and/or convince others they shouldn't talk to you. Bullies feel powerful because they believe they are able to exert control over the feelings of others. The goal of bullying is to illicit a reaction from the bullied. Refusing to respond diminishes the sense of power the bully feels.  Continue doing your activity without acknowledging a bully's comments. For example, if you are hanging out with your friends, continue your conversation as if the bully wasn't there. If the bully has positioned him or herself to be intrusive in your activity, turn your back to the bully and continue what you were doing. If the bully physically attacks you, protect yourself and get away. This type of behavior needs to be reported immediately. Violence is never okay, and this type of behavior typically escalates; reporting it is absolutely necessary for your safety and possibly others'. This can be tricky, especially when the bullying occurs at school. Girls tend to bully covertly, so making a girl bully go out of her way to engage in bullying behavior will expose her.  Don't tiptoe around the bully, as this will be perceived as a reaction, but there is no need to hang out in the same area of the quad. If you have lockers near one another, you can ask school office staff to reassign your locker. If avoiding the bully isn't possible, ask friends to go with you when you must be in the same area as the bully to create a buffer....

You may not feel comfortable doing this, so it will be a decision you have to make. Ask your friends or family at home if they recommend a confrontation. Make sure to keep the conversation casual so that the jerk doesn't think you’re trying to corner him or her. You also don’t want to violate any workplace regulations.   For example, don’t talk to the jerk in private if he or she is not only unfriendly, but also aggressive. You don’t want to put your safety at risk. If this is true, it is probably a sign that you need to get a third party involved. If he or she simply makes snarky comments that offend you, it is a good idea to let the person know gently, in private. Make mention of the specific behaviors that are inappropriate. Take this as an opportunity to air out any grievances this person may have about you and vice versa, but don’t let it get too long-winded. He or she may not have realized their actions, and feel immediate remorse. The jerk may tell you he or she doesn’t care about your feelings. He or she may simply go on acting the same way no matter what. If the behavior continues, go directly to your supervisor to report any incidents. If there is truly harmful or abusive behavior, the company needs to document and address the problem. You may feel that management is not addressing the issue sufficiently, or that the jerk is becoming abusive. Most companies will not allow such behavior especially if it has racial, age, or sexual undertones. Offenses such as this generally require formal reprimands so as to protect the company from a lawsuit. Tell the staff, for example, that Bob has made a number of age-related jokes that are increasingly unfriendly. You asked him politely to stop, but he hasn’t. If your company is not dealing with the problem, go to management or corporate administration. Your company may have a toll-free line you can call. This is an unfortunate situation, because it can seriously jeopardize your employment if the call is taken the wrong way by your supervisors. However, you don’t...

You may not need to treat your sinus infection medically. However, your doctor may recommend additional treatments if you have a bacterial or fungal infection. Additionally, they can help relieve symptoms like inflammation and congestion. Talk to your doctor to find out which treatments may be right for you.

You may not realize it, but there are actually three different types of tweezers. Slanted tweezers are great for plucking hair. The end of this tweezer will be flat, but will be slanted down at an angle. This is ideal for plucking hairs, especially if they grow close to the skin.  Other types of tweezers include needle-nosed tweezers and a hybrid version which is pointed at the tip, but also has a slanted edge. You may be able to manage plucking a stray hair with these in a pinch, but having a pair of slanted tweezers for regular use will be ideal. To be extra careful, you can clean your tweezers with a bit of rubbing alcohol before each plucking session. If you are trying to pluck all the hairs in a particular area (e.g. your chin or above your lip), this may not be necessary. However, if you’re plucking an area where you want to leave some hairs behind (e.g. eyebrows), drawing guidelines can help keep you from overplucking.  There are different ways to do this. For example, if you are trying to shape your eyebrows, use a brow pencil and shape your eyebrows the way that you want them to look. Then, all you have to do is pluck the hairs that stand outside of the desired shape. You can also use a makeup pencil that contrasts with your skin. For example, if you are trying to shape your sideburns into a particular shape, you can use the pencil to draw the guidelines. Then, simply pluck the hairs that are on the wrong side of the line and leave the rest. When you’re ready to pluck a hair, use the tweezers to grab the hair as close to the base as possible. Then, pull the hair quickly from the skin in the direction it grows. This will make the hair come out as easily as possible.  If you pull the hair in the opposite direction that it grows, you will probably experience more pain than necessary as it is more difficult to pull the hair out this way. Do your best to grab the hair as close to the base as possible without pinching your skin. This will make the process as painless as possible. Additionally, if you don’t...

You may notice corns or calluses on the toes that develop hammer toe. If you have hammer toe, you'll feel pain, especially when you wear shoes that constrict your toes. Other symptoms include:  Inflammation, redness and tenderness Open sores Involuntary bending of the toes (contracture) Shoes are one of the biggest factors in developing hammer toes that you can control. If you frequently wear high heels, shoes that are too small, or shoes that don't give your toes enough space, you are more likely to get hammer toes. Other conditions can cause hammer toes, such as:  Genes that cause flat feet or high arches Neuromuscular diseases like diabetes which can put additional pressure on your toes If you have any foot pain or symptoms of hammer toe, see a foot specialist (podiatrist). This is especially important if your toes bend involuntarily. Early treatment could prevent the need for surgery. The podiatrist will physically examine your foot, although an x-ray or other imaging may be needed to make a diagnosis. Wear protective padding for painful corns and calluses to protect your toes from further irritation. You can also get over-the-counter non-medicated pads. Your podiatrist might prescribe custom foot inserts (orthotic devices) that you place in your shoes. These can maintain your muscles and tendons. Ask your podiatrist if you should use splints or straps to straighten out your hammer toe. If the skin around your hammer toe becomes red or inflamed, or if it feels painful to stand on, apply an ice pack. An ice pack can numb the pain and reduce swelling. Apply the ice pack several times throughout the day or whenever you notice swelling. Never apply ice directly to your toes. This can damage the skin tissue. Instead, be sure to wrap the ice in a cloth before applying it to your toes. If you're experiencing severe inflammation and pain, you may need corticosteroid injection therapy. These injections can reduce inflammation and manage pain. Injections are often used if you have arthritis and hammer toe. If your...

You may notice that your dark circles are more obvious on nights when you get little sleep. That’s because a lack of sleep usually makes your skin paler so the darkness under your eyes stands out more. Make an effort to get enough sleep every night to minimize the look of dark circles.  Adults typically need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night. Teenagers typically need between 8 and 10 hours of sleep a night. Certain foods can cause puffiness and bloating that lead to dark circles under the eyes. It’s best to stay away from overly salty foods, alcohol, and carbonated drinks if you want to get rid of your dark circles.  Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water can help reduce puffiness and bloating too. Aim for about 8 glasses of water a day. Certain foods also improve blood flow to the skin, which can help reduce dark circles. Try to incorporate foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as walnuts, salmon, soybeans, and spinach, in your diet. When you lie down at night, fluids can accumulate under your eyes and make the area appear darker. By elevating your head slightly as you sleep, you can keep those fluids from building up. Add an extra pillow to your bed to help prop up your head as you sleep.

You may notice that your parent has disengaged from activities that were previously enjoyable. Your parent may seem sad, hopeless, or act helpless. You may notice changes in weight (putting on weight or losing weight) or changes in sleep (sleeping very often or not sleeping enough).  Your parent may have different behavior, such as feeling more irritable, aggressive, or short-tempered than usual. Your parent may lack energy and may appear exhausted much of the time. Watch out for increases in alcohol consumption or drug use. If your parent has changed habits with alcohol or drugs (including prescription medications and sleeping pills), this may be related to depression. Depression is not contagious and you cannot catch it. It can be scary to bring up the topic of depression, especially when it’s with your parent. If you are concerned and feel like things will not get better, it’s okay to start a conversation about depression. Approach your parent from a place of concern and care. Remind your parent how important he is to you, and that you want to see him happy.   Say, “I’m concerned about you and your health. Have things changed? How are you doing?” You can also say, “I’ve noticed things have changed, and you seem sadder than usual. Is everything okay?” If your parent says something about how they "don't want to be here anymore," you should seek help right away. After you’ve had a heartfelt discussion with your parent, urge them to find a therapist. It’s important to understand that you are not responsible for your parent’s thoughts, emotions, and behavior, especially related to depression. Encourage your parent to see a therapist. Therapy can help reframe negative thought patterns, identify triggers, practice coping skills, and practice preventative measures to reduce symptoms of depression in the future. Say to your parent, “I want to see you healthy and happy, and I think a therapist could help you with that. Would you consider reaching out to a therapist?” While individual therapy can help the individual...

You may now have severe pain spreading to your face, neck, jaw, or the side of your head that is affected by the advanced ear infection. You should see your doctor right away or go to the emergency room if you have severe symptoms. You will likely now have complete blockage of your ear canal, reducing your ability to hear out of the infected ear. The redness of your ear will increase and your outer ear may now be swollen and red. As the infection increases, the lymphatic system in your body will be activated to fight. Swelling in the lymph nodes in your neck therefore indicate an increased progression of infection. Use the middle 3 fingers of your hand to check your lymph nodes. Press gently down the sides of your neck and under your jaw line for swelling. As the infection begins to affect your body to a greater extent, your body will be working harder to fight off the infection. One way your body does this is by raising your temperature to make the environment inhospitable to infections.  A fever will generally be anything over 37.3C or 99F. There are different ways to monitor a fever, including using tympanic, or ear, thermometers. If you have an ear infection, be sure to take your temperature in the opposite ear. The infection will naturally increase the temperature in the affected ear so you want to be sure you get a true reading of your body temperature.

You may occasionally see a problem that contains multiple terms in the numerator of a fraction, over a single denominator. You need to treat this as a distributive problem and apply the denominator to each term of the numerator. You can rewrite the fraction to show the distribution, as follows:   4x+82=4{\displaystyle {\frac {4x+8}{2}}=4}.....(original problem)  4x2+82=4{\displaystyle {\frac {4x}{2}}+{\frac {8}{2}}=4}.....(distribute the denominator to each term of the numerator) After distributing the denominator to each term, you can then simplify each term individually.   4x2+82=4{\displaystyle {\frac {4x}{2}}+{\frac {8}{2}}=4}.....(revised problem)  2x+4=4{\displaystyle 2x+4=4}.....(simplify the fractions) Proceed to solve the problem by isolating the variable on one side of the equation and moving the constant terms to the other side.  Do this with a combination of addition and subtraction steps, as needed.   2x+4=4{\displaystyle 2x+4=4}.....(revised problem)  2x+4−4=4−4{\displaystyle 2x+4-4=4-4}.....(subtract 4 from both sides)  2x=0{\displaystyle 2x=0}.....(isolated x on one side) In the final step, divide by the coefficient of the variable. This should lead you to the final solution, with the single variable on one side of the equation and the numerical solution on the other.   2x=0{\displaystyle 2x=0}.....(revised problem)  2x/2=0/2{\displaystyle 2x/2=0/2}.....(divide both sides by 2)  x=0{\displaystyle x=0}.....(solution) It is tempting (but incorrect) to divide the first numerator term by the denominator and cancel out the fraction. A mistake like this, for the problem above, would look like the following:   4x+82=4{\displaystyle {\frac {4x+8}{2}}=4}.....(original problem)  2x+8=4{\displaystyle 2x+8=4}.....(divide only 4x by 2 instead of the full numerator) 2x+8−8=4−8{\displaystyle 2x+8-8=4-8} 2x=−4{\displaystyle 2x=-4}  x=−2{\displaystyle x=-2}.....

You may still want to wear makeup, especially if you prefer neutral tones. There are techniques for using makeup without having the appearance that you are wearing any. The key is to apply skin products that blend together the colors you choose. Make sure any product you use is a color that is not far off your natural skin tone.  Use a tinted moisturizer to slightly alter your skin complexion while keeping it looking natural. Use a powder to conceal any minor imperfections. Try a soft brownish eyeliner to bring out your eyes without looking like you are wearing makeup. Beautiful eyebrows can be emphasized to complement or off-set your other facial features. Use a pencil to bring out the shape and fill in any gaps. Finally, comb them upward to make them more striking. Try applying a black gel liner to the upper lines of your eyelashes. Stop before you get to the center of your face, by a half inch or so. This will help your eyelashes stand out. You don't have to go to the salon once a week to have great looking hair. There are many ways to style your hair quickly and easily if it is long enough. For example, you can put a headband on top of your head, then use a hair tie to make a quick pony tail, and twist it into a bun.

You may struggle to identify the physical cues that are signs of different emotions, but all humans are born with this ability. Just like any other skill, if you take the time to practice reading people's emotions, you will get better at it.  Observe people in a crowded place (like a mall, nightclub, or park) and try to identify how they are feeling. Try using context, body language, and expressions to figure out who is feeling shy, stressed, excited, and so on.  Read up on body language, especially facial expressions, and how it corresponds to different emotions. Sadness, for instance, is characterized by drooping eyelids, a slight pulling down of the lip corners, and a raised inner brow.  Put on a soap opera and try to identify the emotions the actors are portraying. Use context clues, facial expressions, and body language. Mute the television so you can't get clues from the dialogue. Once you feel you've got it down, move on to more subtle dramas in which the actors use nuanced expressions to convey emotion. You may come off as insensitive because showing emotion makes you feel uncomfortable an awkward. Instead of saying something that might sound stilted or insincere when you see someone is upset, you remain quiet. Accept that it might sound forced when you offer condolences to your friend, "I'm so sorry to hear that...", but know that it will become more natural if you push through and keep trying. To you, sadness may seem pointless, illogical, and self-indulgent. You may wonder why the person doesn't just think through the issue and figure out how to make it better. But emotions are an essential part of decision making, as is logic. Emotions can motivate you to change your life, as emotional discomfort is often an impetus to get out of a rut.  Emotions are essential to making connections and healthy, successful social interactions.  Remember that emotions are simply part of being human. Even if you don't understand them or think they're pointless, be aware that most people don't feel that way. ...

You may think that you and your partner need to do absolutely everything together in order to live a happily married life. However, if you really want to maintain your bond, then you have to keep up some level of independence. If you and your partner do absolutely everything together and have no time to develop your own interests, then you are likely to become codependent and to lose a sense of your own identities.  If you both spend time pursuing your own hobbies and interests, then you’ll continue and grow as people. You don’t want to be the exact same person you are now twenty years from now, do you? Plus, if you and your spouse spend more time apart, then you’ll be able to appreciate the time you spend together more. It’s easier to take each other for granted when you’re always together. You don’t have to bring your spouse along every time you hang out with your friends just because you’re married. Though you both should be integrated in each other’s social lives, it’s important to make time for “guy time” or “girl time” too, so you continue to build your friendships and your support network. If you want your marriage to last, then you have to keep making an effort to be romantic. While things will change after you’ve been with your spouse for a long time or when you have children together, you should still make an effort to make each other feel special, to have date nights, and to keep courting each other long after you’ve said your vows. This can help keep your marriage feeling exciting, sexy, and fun. Here are some things you can do:  Make sure to keep up with your date nights.

You may think you dislike wine because the ones you've tried aren't compatible with your preferences. But by exposing yourself to a wide variety of wines, you’ll increase the likelihood that you'll find at least one kind that you truly enjoy. Don’t be overwhelmed by the amount of wines that are available. The easiest way to break them down is into white and red categories. From there, you can begin testing your palate on blends, ages, and even individual vineyards.  Sweeter white wines like Viognier or Riesling may be easier for a novice to appreciate than a very dry Sauvignon Blanc or an oaky Chardonnay. Similarly for red wines, Zinfandels with more pronounced fruit flavors may be more accessible than drier wines such as Cabernet or Pinot Noir. Different blends of wine combine the characteristics of varietal grapes to create balanced and complex flavors. There is more to wines than simply red or white. Blushes, ice wines, sparkling wines, madeiras, ports, and sherries are all different methods to process the fruit, juice, or the wine. Depending on where a wine is sourced will determine how it smells and taste. Some of the most popular and accessible wines come from France, Italy, Spain, Argentina, and the United States.  Different countries will vary in soil types as well as production methods. This creates a whole new world of options to try. In general, new world wines from California and South America have more pronounced fruit flavors and are less dry than wines from France or Italy. The age of a wine will also determine its taste and aroma nuances. Try both young and old wines, and if possible purchase a batch of the same wine and drink one from each year to experience the subtle changes a wine goes through as it changes over time. Wine snobs turn up their noses at the idea of mixing wine with other things, but wine on ice, mixed with fruit juices, mixed with liquors or liqueurs, or other things often results in great tasting beverages. Add ice, especially with heavier, sweeter, or very rich wines. The...

You may use a stopwatch, a clock with a second hand, or an online timing tool to keep track of the frequency and duration of your contractions. Have a pencil and paper handy as well so that you can record the numbers and recognize patterns.  Use a precise timer, rather than a digital clock without seconds. Since contractions often last under a minute, it's important to be able to time them to the second. Make a chart to help you easily record the data. Create a column titled "Contractions," one titled "Time Started" and a third titled "Time Ended." Include a fourth column called "Duration" to calculate how long each contraction lasts, and a fifth column called "Time Between Contractions" to calculate the length of time elapsed between the beginning of one contraction and the beginning of the next one. Do not start in the middle or at the end of an already-occurring contraction. If you-or whoever is experiencing the contractions-are in the middle of a contraction when you decide to start timing them, wait for the next contraction to begin. When you feel your abdomen tighten, start the timer or begin watching the clock and jot down the time in the "Time Started" column.  The more accuracy you can provide, the better. For example, instead of writing "10 PM," write "10:03:30 PM." If the contraction did start exactly at 10 PM, then write "10:00:00 PM." When the pain subsides, and the contraction ends, record the exact moment it stopped. Again, include as much information and accuracy as you can.  Now that the first contraction is over, you can fill in the "Duration" column. For example, if the contraction began at 10:03:30 and ended at 10:04:20, the duration of the contraction was 50 seconds. Record other information about the contraction, such as where the pain began, what it felt like, and so on. This could be useful as the contractions continue and you begin to notice patterns. Subtract the start time of the previous contraction from the start time of this contraction and you'll know how far apart your...

You may want to hire a real estate agent in order to assist you with selling your home successfully by listing it at the right time. Your agent will be able to find out about current market conditions to estimate an accurate listing price and can also provide you details about how long it might take for your home to sell. This may affect the time of year that you choose to list and sell your house. If possible, sell your home at the time of year (this may vary regionally) when prices of comparative homes are high. This will ensure that you get the best possible price on your house. You can either consult your real estate agent to find out this information, or you can look online at websites that people commonly use to list their houses for sale. Working with a real estate agent to understand the inventory of houses in your market can affect when you want to list your home. This factor will change from year to year, but it will be best to list your home when the inventory of homes is on the lower side. Various factors in the area surrounding your home can influence when is best to sell your home. Consider, for example, if you have a highly sought-after elementary school in your area. If this is the case, families may be looking to move in time for the beginning of the school year. You should then make sure your home is available several months before the start date of school so that there is ample time for viewing and moving. If you live in an area with temperate climate and fewer buyers with children, it is possible that you will experience more balanced buying seasons. In short, this means that there is no time of year that is necessarily best for selling your home.

You may want to skip this if your shampoo is already colored, or you can experiment with mixing colors. For example, you could add blue food coloring to yellow shampoo to make green slime. A little bit goes a long way, so 1-2 drops is all you need. If you don't have food coloring, use 2-3 drops of liquid watercolor paint. Do not touch or play with the slime during this time. As the mixture chills in the fridge, it will harden into slime! You can try speeding the process up by putting the slime into the freezer for 3-4 hours, but the results may not be as good. Because this slime contains very simple ingredients, it probably won't last for more than 2-3 days. If it starts to lose it's texture, you could try revitalizing it by stirring it back up again, then putting it back into the fridge for 2 days. If the slime starts to get too runny while you're playing with it, try putting it back into the fridge or freezer for a few hours, and see if that helps.

You may want to try one of the simplest DIY remedies before resorting to storebought creams, particularly if money is a concern. Washing your face is a remarkably effective way to clear up your skin.  If you have dirt and bacteria in your skin, hot water will open your pores, making it easier to clean the gunk out. Using a gently soaked face towel should do the trick. The water should be hot, but not so hot that it's painful to apply to your face. Chances are, you already have everything you need to make a sugar-based exfoliator at home!  First, mix two tablespoons of sugar into 2 tablespoons of water. Once fully mixed, add another tablespoon of sugar and stir again. Drain out some of the excess water from your sugar mixture. Following that, splash some water on your face, and rub the mixture on each cheek in a circular motion for one minute each. If you're the DIY type, you can approximate a good toner at home with a lemon. Get about ten drops of lemon juice on your hands after you wash your face.  Smear the drops on your face and wipe away after a few seconds. This should attend to the dirt particles your cleanser may have missed. Make sure to keep the lemon juice away from your eyes. The resulting irritation may be painful if applied carelessly. Apple cider vinegar is a great alternative toner if you don't want to use lemon juice. This will comprise the end of your 'ritual'. This will close your facial pores again and keep dirt and bacteria from getting in, thus keeping your skin clear. Think of this step like patching up an airlock; now that you've opened up your skin and cleared out the muck, you'll want to close your pores back up again so your progress isn't undone. If ice cubes aren't available, a splash of cold water across the face should do, although it won't likely be as effective as the method above. By making a bi-daily routine of this process, you're effectively doubling the amount of progress you can make in getting clearer skin, than if you were just doing it once in the morning. Making sure...

You may want to use a shampoo specially formulated for dreadlocks, but a regular shampoo will also work. Use your fingers to massage the shampoo into the scalp with water. After the dreads have been thoroughly soaped, you're ready to rinse.  You should avoid shampooing your dreads for a minimum of two weeks after having them done to keep the locks firm and secure. The shampoo you choose should be low lather and should suit the needs of your scalp. Many people with dreads suffer from dry scalps. If you do too, you should use a shampoo formulated for dry scalps. You may want to use a clean nylon to contain your dreads when washing. This can help keep your locks from coming apart while being washed. You don't have to use conditioner on your hair, but doing so can improve your hair's strength, softness, and luster. Take your hair conditioner in your hands and massage it into the scalp and dreadlocks until all locks are moisturized and loose.  Do not condition new locks that are less than 3 months old. Follow the label recommendations of your conditioner for best results. Generally, you should let the conditioner set in the locks for a few minutes. After you have finished conditioning, you should rinse the conditioner from your hair, turning off the shower and wringing out excess moisture from the locks as you do. Some dreadlock wearers choose to skip conditioning, as it can loosen the tightness of your locks. Your dreadlocks can pick up a lot of buildup throughout daily life, and this can drip unpleasantly down the neck if you're not careful. After rinsing out the conditioner, keep the washed head bent so drips fall onto the shower floor and not down the body. Then:  Gather a towel around the base of the neck. Blot the dreads there to absorb moisture, then hold the towel firmly in place with your hands. Straighten the head. Excess moisture will trickle down the head and get caught in the towel you are holding at the base of the neck. After the hair has mostly stopped dripping, use dry portions of the towel to...

You may want your staircase in a single color to match the color scheme of your home. If you have a wooden staircase, you can paint it in a shade that matches your wallpaper, carpeting, or other aspects of your house.  You should use a paint primer on your staircase first, especially if it was previously painted a different color. This can help your chosen color show through. You should usually place some painter's tape between the staircase and wall, creating a barrier between the paint and primer and your wall. When you're painting or a applying primer, you can use a roller or a paintbrush depending on the size of your stairs. It's a good idea to have a paintbrush handy to paint any hard-to-reach areas. You can paint the stairs completely. However, you can also paint only a certain portion of the stairs if you do not want the color to overwhelm. For example, you can paint a line running down the center of the stairs, using a ruler and measuring tape to trace the line beforehand. You also may want to just paint the stair risers or just paint the top of the stairs. If you want to add a design your staircase, you can use stencils. You can find stencils in a wide variety of shapes at a local craft store. You can also make your own stencils by drawing shapes on cardboard and then cutting out these shapes with an x-acto knife. Consider choosing stencils that match with other decorative elements of the room. If you have floral patterned wallpaper, for example, use flower stencils.  Many people enjoy creating a fun design by stenciling on the stair risers, which are the parts of stairs that are vertical. You will usually have to paint the risers a shade of cream or white first, if they are not already painted in this color, to help your designs stand out. You can also consider stenciling the wall around the stairs.  You should dust and clean the staircase before stenciling or painting, to make sure no debris or dirt get trapped in the paint. Place your stencil against the staircase. You can use spray mount, an...

You might already have video editing software that came with your computer, and a camera or phone that can take digital photographs. If so, you can jump into this method right away. However, the actual shooting and editing process can be long and difficult. If you want to make anything longer than a minute or two, try the stop motion software method above. All you need for the easier method above is a free trial of the software and a $5 USD camera. Most free video editing software will work. Here are a few options covered in this guide, which you can find online:  For Mac: iMovie (comes pre-installed on some Macs)  For Windows: Virtual Dub, Windows Movie Maker (does not officially support this, but sometimes works; pre-installed on most Windows) Find an area with no moving shadows, flickering light, or background movement. Place any objects you like, holding wobbly objects in place with double-sided tape or poster tack. Stop motion animation takes a long time to make. Start with a short, simple idea, like a piece of paper crumpling itself up and jumping in a trash can. You can use any camera, phone, or tablet that takes digital photographs. Place it on a tripod or stand, or tape it down. It must be completely still, or the movie will look jumbled and strange. The basic idea is simple: take a photograph, move the object a tiny bit, then take another one. Check how the image turned out, and take another one if there are any mistakes. You may want to take two or three photos of each position, just in case.  Make sure the objects are in sharp focus. If your camera keeps adjusting the focus distance, you might need to disable auto focus and set it manually. Move it by the same amount each time. Save the pictures on to your computer in an easy to remember place. Leave the file names alone; these should be numbered, so they stay in order. If you're using a photo application like iPhoto, make a new album first to keep them separate from your other photos. Open your video editing software and import the folder...

You might also choose something that you feel strongly about, like a loss, a love, or a struggle in your life. The fact is, you're going to have to spend time crafting your rhyme word by word. If your subject isn't meaningful to you, you'll likely find that the lyrics you come up with are uninspired and struggle with finishing your rap. For more advanced rappers, you might want to go out of your way to choose topics that you aren't passionate about. Experienced rhymesters can sharpen their skills  on the challenge posed by less interesting subjects. Do this long form, in several paragraphs or a large block of text. Try to include different perspectives about your topic, emotional points, and related concepts. This will help you build a pool of themes from which you can draw when working on the rhymes in your rap..  The more intimately you know your subject and ideas associated with it, the more ammunition you will have when writing. To further develop your topic, you might want to journal about it over the course of a few days. Ask your friends and people who might be part of your target audience about personal experiences they have had with your topic. This may yield useful examples for your rhyme writing. There are many different patterns of rhyme you can utilize in your rap. This is called "rhyme scheme," and it is usually expressed by representing same-rhyme lines with the same letter. For example, if your first and second line rhyme, and your third and forth line have a different rhyme but also are the same, the rhyme scheme would be AABB. An example of this might look like, "I am a rapper, / Not a lip flapper / I don't play a game / My rhymes are never lame." Some classical rhyme schemes you might try include:  A Boy Named Sue rhyme scheme: AABCCB  Ballade rhyme scheme: ABABBCBC  Enclosed rhyme scheme: ABBA  "Fire and Ice" rhyme scheme: ABAABCBCB  Ode rhyme scheme: ABABCDECDE   The Raven rhyme scheme: ABCBBB Now that you've got a pretty solid idea what topic you'll be rapping about and the kind of rhyme...

You might be interested in birth control but unsure of what kind would work best for you.  The most common form of medical birth control is the pill, but there are other options that contain fewer hormones.  The most common forms of birth control are:  IUDs Birth control patches Birth control pills Birth control shot Condoms Before you talk to your mom, find out about the ways that birth control affects your body and the changes it can make, both positive and negative.   Some of the benefits of different forms of birth control are listed below:  In addition to preventing pregnancy, hormonal birth control like the pill, patch, shot or IUD can prevent ovarian cysts and cancer, bone thinning, iron deficiency, acne, and PMS. Condoms and dental dams prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Use the information from your research to prepare your argument for your mom.  If you come to her with knowledge and facts, she might be more willing to give in to your request, as you will seem more mature and thoughtful.  Compile a list of all of the reasons you want birth control.  Think ahead about the reasons that she might not want you to get on birth control and plan rebuttals for those concerns.  For instance, perhaps your mom doesn’t want you to get on birth control because she is afraid that you will gain weight like she may have.  Find some birth control options that do not cause weight gain. Work hard to stay on the topic, and pay attention that your mom does not stray off topic. You might be very nervous to broach this topic with your mom, which is understandable.  You can calm your nerves by practicing in the mirror beforehand.  Practice delivering your pitch for why you should get birth control until you can do so without stammering or saying “um.” Consider practicing with a friend if you feel comfortable. If you have friends who have asked for birth control, find out how they did it and if they were successful.  Consider consulting with friends who have mothers similar to yours so that you...

You might be tempted to attack your sun damage even harder if you’re burned, but the methods in this article are suitable for tans only. Exfoliating while you’re burned will be ineffective and extremely painful.  Apply aloe vera to ease pain and hydrate your scorched skin. Revisit this guide once your burn has healed or peeled. You don’t want to be rough on your skin, per se, but the overall idea here is to speed up the process by which your body sheds its skin cells. Your body wants something good for scrubbing. Good exfoliants for this purpose will have retinoids or alpha hydroxyl acids. These ingredients specifically help in skin-cell turnover rates and get rid of color. Loofahs are dried, tubular gourds, the fibrous fruit of the loofa plant. The pouf, on the other hand, is a synthetic scrubber, made to be a gentler scrubbing tool with maximum lather-up potential. We don’t want gentle for this task—we want the tougher loofah. Take a shower and then pat yourself (mostly) dry, or use a wet washcloth on your skin. The exfoliant and loofah will be providing the grit, so don’t use an overly aggressive technique. Simply rub your skin in small circles, rinse it off with cool water, and repeat daily.

You might be tempted to join a conversation and say a bunch of made-up stuff to make yourself look smart, but actually that makes you come off as phony. If you don’t know anything about a subject, don’t make it obvious by making stuff up. Instead, listen. You’ll actually learn! Then you can politely steer the conversation toward a topic that you know something about. Don’t change the topic to boast about yourself. Instead, switch it to a topic that you’re comfortable discussing. Like, “oh, that reminds me of a conversation I had with my grandfather. He had such an interesting life. He used to…” When there’s a conversation about something that you don’t know much about, you can still look intelligent. Nobody knows everything, but smart people know how to ask insightful questions that take the conversation out of small-talk and into something more meaningful. For instance, if someone is describing an experience they had, you can ask, “How do you feel like that experience changed the way you interact with people today?” or if they are describing a book they read, you can ask, “What most stood out to you about the book?” This might seem like a simple one, but it will actually make you stand out in a crowd. Many people think that they don’t have time to read, but you don’t actually need a huge chunk of time to read a book. Bring along a book in your backpack or purse, and take it out whenever you would normally start swiping through your phone: in line, on the bus, on the train, waiting for a friend to show up. Choose a genre that you actually enjoy reading, and it won’t feel like a chore.  Not only will you look smart by reading a book in public, but you will actually get smarter by exposing yourself to new worlds, words and ideas. Try to read before you go to sleep instead of watching television. It will calm your brain for bed better than watching bright lights and moving pictures.

You might be tempted to use your fingernails to pluck the lens fragments from you eye; however, it’s important to pinch the lens pieces with your fingertips only rather than your nails. Otherwise, you risk doing damage to the surface of your eye. Further, it’s ideal to attempt removing a broken contact with fingers that have trimmed nails to avoid scratching your eye. If you’re unable to remove lens fragments with your fingertips, do not attempt to use any tools. Tweezers and similar objects can severely damage the surface of your eye or cause serious infection. Leave the equipment handling to your doctor. Even soft-tipped contact lens tweezers are generally not recommended, especially for removing lens fragments. The risk of causing an abrasion, or scratching the eye surface, is too great. Don’t rub your eyes hard if any lens fragments are stuck in your eye. The friction could scratch your cornea, or the eye’s surface. You risk not only doing physical damage, but you open the door to dangerous eye infections. In general, you should avoid rubbing your eyes too much while you’re wearing contact lenses.

You might be upset with this person; you might even be completely furious. But having a big blowout will just make you look dramatic and might even confirm some of the gossip in the eyes of onlookers. Handle the situation with  maturity: find a suitable private space to discuss the problem alone.  Tell the person that you need to talk in private, but try not to sound overly upset or dramatic. For example, you might simply say, "Hey Mike, when you have a minute, I'd like to talk to you about something. No rush." You can also try catching up to the person when he is alone (for example, walking to his car after work) or calling him on the phone if you don't think you'll have any other suitable time to talk alone. Just be sure that you'll have enough time to talk about the situation and come to an understanding without feeling rushed. State the rumor or gossip that has reached you and ask the person if he said those things and why. Try to be clear, but say as little as possible; too much information can be overwhelming, and the gossiper may have trouble processing everything you're saying.  Try to stick to the facts and avoid emotional words or accusations. For example, you might say, "Yesterday Deborah told me that you said I made out with Jim at the office party. Is that true?" Don't yell, cry, or stand too close to the person. Try to have a confident body posture-- stand up tall with your shoulders squared, legs firmly planted about shoulder distance apart, and hands by your side or perhaps on your hips. Stand directly in front of the person but not so close that you're in his face. Look him in the eye, but try to keep your face from appearing angry or threatening. Remember your goal here is not to intimidate or scare him, but just to get the truth. Give him a chance to process what you've said and explain the situation before you say more. Some people are afraid of confrontation and will not know how to respond if you confront them. In fact some people have such intense social anxiety that a confrontation can...

You might be working with someone and be late on a deadline. Instead of blaming someone, find ways to work together instead of trying to find someone to blame. Maybe someone did drop the ball, but if you’re working together, that means finding solutions together. If you find yourself saying, “Well, someone had to say it” as a way to express anger toward someone, you’re likely using your honesty as a way to blame others. There’s a difference in tone of voice when you’re yelling at someone or talking to someone casually. Aim to use a casual tone or professional tone when talking to someone. Harshness can come out through tone, so avoid responding too quickly, using sharp words or speech, or speaking loudly. For example, speak softer to avoid sounding aggressive. Maybe a friend has a bad habit that drives you nuts. Don’t lose your cool over it. Instead, add some humor to approach the topic gently. This allows you to say what you need to say but also not make a big deal over it. Humor can also help to diffuse tense or difficult situations. Make a small joke or say something silly to get your point across. Maybe someone asks you a question that makes you uncomfortable in giving an honest response. For example, they might ask, “Do you like my boyfriend?” or, “What do you think of these pants?” While you might want to answer honestly, your response may also hurt the person’s feelings. Aim to be general or respond to something regarding the topic they bring up. This allows you to be honest yet still kind and inoffensive. For example, if someone asks if you like their terrible food, say, “This is a unique flavor unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before!” or, “My favorite part of the meal is the potatoes.”

This might raise questions that you'd rather avoid. The safest option for secretive mailing might require you to travel to a post office farther away, like one in a neighboring town or on the other side of your city.

You'll also need to provide the post office with a home address, a phone number, and a list of minors who will be receiving mail. You'll also need to provide two forms of identification when you apply with at least one ID bearing your picture.  Print out Form PS 1093 before you go to apply for your PO box. This will give you time to familiarize yourself with what you'll need and fill out necessary information. This way you're not scrambling or scratching your head trying to fill out the form at the post office.

You might feel like you have hair stuck in your throat although there really isn't anything there. Other issues can cause the uncomfortable feeling. To soothe your throat, fill a glass with warm water and stir in salt until it dissolves. Gargle with the salt water to make your throat feel better. Studies also suggest that gargling can prevent or reduce common cold symptoms. Toxins and particles from smoking can irritate the lining of your throat. This irritation might feel like hair that's trapped in your throat. Try to cut back on how much you smoke every day to reduce throat irritation and smoker's cough. If you have acid reflux, acids from your stomach move back up into your throat. This acid can irritate your throat, especially if it reaches your vocal cords. When this happens, the acid can make it feel as though something is stuck in your throat. Ask your doctor about the best treatments for your acid reflux. If you're also experiencing hoarseness, coughing, or you clear your throat often, you may have a type of reflux called laryngeal pharyngeal reflux. If you're having an allergic reaction to something you've eaten, you may have trouble swallowing, feel like there's something stuck in your throat, or your tongue might feel hairy. Follow your allergy treatment plan or contact your doctor immediately. The doctor may recommend that you take an antihistamine to block the allergen.

You might feel trapped with the person you live with because they’re your family, you’re underage, or because you signed a lease with them. Think of some alternatives, even if they’re temporary. While you may feel stuck, there may be some options that could help you. Brainstorm some alternatives and see if they’re doable.  For example, if you live at home, see if you can spend one night a week with your cousins or spend a summer with your aunt. If you have a lease with someone, you may be able to find a different roommate or you may need to break the lease and pay a fine. If you can crash at a friend's house temporarily, do so. While this isn’t ideal, it can help create space and give you some time apart from the person you live with. Removing yourself from the situation can help you clear your head and think about ways to resolve the situation or improve your living conditions.  For example, if you live with one parent, ask if you can live with the other or spend more time at their house. Or, see if you can attend more sleepovers with a best friend. This is a temporary solution. Use it only to gain clarity and help you problem-solve. If the situation has become unbearable and you can’t imagine living with the person any longer, consider your options for moving out. You may not be able to move out immediately, but you can plan for when you can. If you care about the person, think about whether remaining to live together will be better or worse in the long run for your relationship. If moving out will save your relationship, it might be a good option.  Moving out may not be feasible if you are under 18, lack financial resources, and/or depend on your family. You may need to find a temporary situation while you look for a new place or gather funds.

You might feel you have to suppress your own emotions so you can be there for your girlfriend, but this will only result in more pain and frustration in the long run. It’s OK if you don’t feel ready to talk with your girlfriend just yet, but let yourself confront your emotions mentally.  You might feel relief, loss, regret, guilt, confusion, or powerlessness. If you’re feeling really negative about the situation, try talking to a counselor or someone that you trust like a family member or close friend. Try to parse out why you feel the way you do to help you understand your emotions. It’s normal not to have the same reaction as your girlfriend, so don’t worry if this is the case. If you don’t talk about your feelings about the abortion, it could affect your relationship moving forward. Be honest with your girlfriend and tell her you’d like to talk about your reaction to the abortion, if she’s ready. Openly communicating with her about how you feel can help keep your relationship healthy, and help both of you start to heal.  Use your best instincts to know when the time is right to talk. You know your girlfriend well; you might want to wait a few days or a week to talk, or she might want to discuss your feelings sooner than that. If she wants to talk about your feelings but you’re not yet ready, be honest. Say, “I’m not really ready to talk about that just yet. I know you’re here for me and I’ll let you know when I’m feeling up to it.” Talk to your girlfriend about the possibility of talking to a trusted friend or family member, or even a therapist or counselor. This can be a good solution if you’re not sure how to express how you feel just yet, and can make opening up to your girlfriend easier.  Your girlfriend might not be comfortable with you talking to others about something very personal. Set boundaries together and try to figure out a compromise that works for both of you Remember that your mental health is a priority.

You might find it beneficial in your deciding process to research online on the origins of yoga and Pilates. Some of the main points of interest include:  Yoga started over 5000 years ago in India. What is colloquially referred to as yoga is actually part of a larger philosophy and way of life. It was invented to promote a better understanding of oneself and the alignment of the mind, body, and spirit. Pilates was invented in the early 20th century as a method of body rehabilitation and strengthening. It started as a tool to rehabilitate World War I soldiers, but it took off when dancers started using it to increase their dancing performance. Yoga and Pilates are similar in a lot of ways. They both include movements and poses intended to increase strength, flexibility, and the mind body connection. Ultimately though, yoga is a practice focused on your mind and how you feel, with strength and flexibility coming as a side effect. Pilates is a practice focused on toning your body and bettering your posture and movement. The breathing techniques you use in Pilates and yoga differ quite a bit.  With Pilates, the breath is used more as a technique of providing the muscles with the energy they need to exercise effectively. Concentrating on the breathing technique throughout Pilates will help you to manage the quantity of oxygen coming into the body and travelling to the muscles to help them become more relaxed. In yoga, the breathing exercises help you to achieve relaxation. Throughout yoga routines it is important to continuously concentrate on how the breath is being employed. Sending the breath to areas that may be tight or are holding stress can help to relax these specific muscle groups in your body. One of the main differences between yoga and Pilates is that yoga can be used for improving the flexibility of the body and it will also gradually increase the flexibility of your joints. Stretching and holding static poses is a central theme in yoga. Pilates is more dynamic, and while flexibility will improve in...

You might find wildly different advice on what breastfeeding moms should and shouldn’t eat, and this is largely because cultural differences play a huge part. The most important thing is that you eat a nutrient-rich, varied diet. Scientifically, this is all you and your baby need.  For example, American moms are told never to eat garlic because it will make your baby refuse to drink, while moms in India are encouraged to eat garlic because it gets baby used to adult flavors and contains lots of great nutrients. Certainly, if one particular type of food seems to make your baby turn away from the breast for too long or gives the stomach problems, stop eating that food. But don’t let your mom-friends scare you away from half the food at the grocery store. Babies will often get used to strong or unusual tastes over time, so don’t worry if they refuse for a day or so. The one thing that biology says you will need is more calcium. You’re making milk, after all. If you don’t get enough calcium for you and your baby, then your body will start breaking down any calcium it can find. This means calcium-low moms end up with depleted, weaker bones, which is not what you want. Take a supplement and try to fit more calcium-rich foods into your diet.  The healthiest sources of calcium actually aren’t milk or dairy products, which are high in unhealthy fats. Instead, good sources of calcium for nursing moms include white beans, kale, and bok choy. 1000-1300 mg of calcium a day is recommended for breastfeeding moms. It’s a fact that the type of fat that you get in your diet also ends up in your breast milk. While it’s not the biggest concern, it certainly won’t hurt to make sure baby gets the healthiest fats and cholesterol possible. This means that you’ll want to eat foods rich in healthy fats, like sardines, avocado, olive oil, and soy. Bad sources of fats include butter, cheese, pork, and most of the usual “junk foods” (chips, cookies, etc.). Getting enough water is important no matter what, but do keep in mind that you’re...

You might mention how you know the woman you are toasting or what she means to you. Don't be overly formal. It's best to mention her name at both the beginning and end of the toast, especially in longer toasts. It is fine to use her first name only, unless you are toasting at a formal business event. This can be done with a small anecdote or inside comment. Make sure, however, that the story is clear to those who weren't there. Make sure you avoid any potentially hurtful comments such as embarrassing anecdotes or nicknames. You don't want to have fun at the honoree's expense. Wish the honoree well in whatever endeavor you are celebrating. Be sincere in your wishes. End with a nod of support or celebration. A toast at a large event should be no more than 2 or 3 minutes. A toast in front of a small group might last less than a minute. A sample toast, for example, might begin with, "I remember the first time I met Karen," followed by a short story of your first meeting and a joke about your initial impression of her. Then, you might finish by saying, "I now want to thank Karen for the past three years and her promise to be my wife. Here's to Karen." Those who are very uncertain about word choice might even consult a book or website that offers sample toasts.

You might need to get the director’s or costume designer’s permission, but ask if you can add a few extras to your costume to help communicate the character’s frame of mind. For instance:  Give your character red eyes and a red, sore nose to show evidence of crying. Could you add a dirty sleeve covered in tears and snot? Unkempt hair and a messy overall appearance show detachment and lack of interest. Dark circles around your eyes indicate a lack of sleep, which is a common sign of sadness. When someone is sad, they can leave tell-tale signs in the environment. If the director and set designer give you permission, try adding a few elements to the stage that show the audience the effects of your character’s sadness. For example:  Scatter tissues everywhere and include an empty tissue box or two. Include discarded or half-finished projects. Show evidence of the anger that often accompanies sadness by featuring destroyed toys, art, furnishings, or clothing. Sleep deprivation is strongly linked to sadness and depression. This makes including signs of exhaustion and sleeplessness a useful strategy for portraying a sad character. Bring the following into your performance:  Yawning and a slumped posture. Slow, slothful movements. Leaning against furniture or nodding off a little when you aren’t speaking. A deep sadness will often cause someone to draw away from social contact and emotional connection with others, and you can bring signs of aversion and distance to your performance without changing the script or stage at all. For example:  Lower your gaze and avoid looking directly at the other characters on stage. Stare off stage as though unconnected to your surroundings. Maybe make eye contact with someone in the audience. Your character will appear detached from those on stage, but the connection with another person allows you to use smaller gestures such as facial expressions. Toy with objects on stage as though you are lost in thought or moving absentmindedly. Don’t respond to the emotions of the other...

You might not feel like eating when you’re nauseous, but swallowing some plain-tasting food may help absorb stomach acids and calm your stomach. If nothing else, you should avoid overly sweet, spicy, and fatty foods, which can trigger nausea. Help your body dilute acidic digestive juices and absorb nutrients by drinking a glass of water 1-2 hours before you eat. Then, sip some water with each meal if you continue to feel nauseous. This helps create softer bowel movements, which can ease constipation-related nausea. Let your food cool slightly or opt for raw fruits and veggies instead of hot foods when you’re feeling ill. Hot foods can have strong smells, which may worsen nausea or vomiting if you have a sensitive stomach. Foods with minimal smells, such as crackers, may be more palatable to you than foods with strong odors. Talk to a doctor about allergy testing if you notice that certain foods consistently make you feel nauseous. Skin testing can help pinpoint any food allergies that may be setting off your sickness.  Typically an allergist performs a scratch test to determine your sensitivity to different foods. It’s best to avoid taking antihistamines before your appointment for the most conclusive testing. Your doctor may also have you try a food elimination diet to see if you are sensitive to certain foods such as gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, eggs, and corn. Opt for low-fiber foods, such as refined hot cereals or juices, if you notice your nausea worsens while working out. These foods digest quickly, moving out of your stomach faster.  Most people experience less nausea on an empty or partially-full stomach than a filled one. For example, if you’re prone to vomiting during track practice, try swapping a protein shake for your regular turkey sandwich. Your liquid lunch will get digested more quickly and is less likely to nauseate you. Water and other healthy fluids promote good digestion, which can help you avoid vomiting. Staying hydrated is especially important if you’ve been vomiting a lot, or are...

You might not have an idea of what it means to be fashionable. If you're unsure what constitutes a fashionable style, spend some time learning about fashion itself. You can do this by seeking out advice from friends and evaluating your own personality.  If you're unfamiliar with fashion, reading up on the latest styles might not be helpful. You may have difficulty understanding language and terminology. Instead of reading, ask a fashionable friend to take you on a shopping trip. Allow him or her to help you pick fashionable outfits that flatter your body type.  Good fashion sense starts with your personality. Ideally, your choice in fashion should express something about you as a person. Try jotting down a list of personality traits and passions you would like to see conveyed by your wardrobe.  Try to pay attention to the design of clothing you try on and buy in stores. Who is the designer? What is his or her reputation in the fashion world? Why did he or she put a pocket on a particular place in a coat or pair of jeans? Why use two kinds of fabric instead of one? Try to do some research regarding these questions when you get home. Google the designer and read up on his or her artistic and professional goals. If you want to be more fashionable, one great way to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and styles is to follow a variety of fashion blogs. These websites can give you inspiration on how to become more fashionable.  Bookmark at least 3 fashion blogs or websites. Browse the sites a couple times a week and look for updates on fashion trends and styles.  Instagram can also be a great resource if you want to be more fashionable. Follow Instagram bloggers whose style you admire. You can also try searching hashtags like #ootd (outfit of the day) for inspiration for new styles. Trends come and go, but certain items will always be fashionable. Stock up on the basics and, from there, mix and match with accessories and other clothing items. For instance, a nice, clean, white tee is essential for both men and...

You might only want to call and text your friends and family. They are designed for ease of use and come in a variety of models such as a flip-phone design or slide out keyboard.  The cost of a classic cell phone is much lower. Some contracts will offer the phone for free. Classic cell phones are quite durable. This is great if your life involves being in conditions where you might drop your phone or need to use it in unstable situations. You won't have to worry about breaking them as easily as a smartphone. If you're older and want a simple wireless phone, classic cell phones are your best choice. Some phones have enlarged keypads for easy dialing. Smartphones are like mini-computers and are the most popular choice of phone for consumers. They have touch-screens, wifi connectivity, HD cameras, and come in different operating systems (OS). The most popular OS systems are:   Apple's iOS: This OS has the largest variety of content and applications, and is known for its ease and polished user interface. It is most popular for mainstream consumers who just want to absorb content (like watch video, play games, or connect with friends) rather than create content for professional uses. For this reason, many work professionals may prefer another OS.  Google’s Android: Android offers more flexibility for developers or those who want to customize how their OS looks and works. The OS is highly customizable if you know the basics of tech education and is useful if you'd like to develop applications.  Microsoft’s Windows: If you're a business owner, then this OS might be right for you. Windows integrates many traditional Windows applications such as Microsoft Office, Exchange, and its cloud. It offers more power to create and customize advanced documents.

You might think a baby bird needs help, but it may just be the bird is learning how to fly. Watch the bird for a while from a distance to establish it really is injured and has been abandoned by the mother.  Look for feathers. If a baby bird has feathers, it is likely learning to fly.  You can put featherless baby birds back in the nest if they're not injured. If a bird feels cold, warm it in your hands before setting it back in the nest. The scent of your hands will not bother the parents, who will feed it as they do the other babies.   If you don't see a nest, put the bird somewhere where it is hidden from cats and dogs. For instance, you can set it in a bush or tree. If you see a gaping wound, that is an indication an adult bird needs help, and you may need to rescue it. Blood is another indication a bird is in trouble. If the bird is dripping blood or if you see dried blood, it may need help. If the bird is having trouble standing or flying, it is in serious trouble and needs help. It may be best to leave the bird where it is until you can get help from a professional. Big birds, such as hawks, can cause you serious harm if you don't know what you're doing.

You might want to invite a few of your closest friends, (best friends) or you may wish to invite more girls. Remember not to leave anyone out just to be mean. However, if there is someone who you really don't want to invite, don't invite them, even if they are expecting an invitation. They could ruin your party. Be sure you have enough space for the amount of people you are inviting. For smaller groups, you may be able to do something like going out to eat, going to a movie, or going shopping at the mall or arcade. This is hard for large groups, however, because it gets expensive and you will have to carpool (if you still want to do this, use the public transit). It's also fun to pick a theme that you can do at home, like  Movie night Your favorite color A time period (such as Ancient Rome or the 70s) A popular television show (such as Survivor or MTV) Spa party A country (such as France or Japan). Add the theme details to the invitations so your friends know what to expect. It's fun to hand them out at school, but your friends might lose them, and other people who aren't invited may get mad. Basically, it's best to mail them or email them out.  Either make invitations yourself, or buy ones from a store which are really pretty and simple or reflect your theme. You could also use free invitation websites such as Evite to create your invitations. Be sure to send invitations at least three weeks before the event so no one has anything planned. If you will be really bummed if a couple of best friends can't make it; plan a date with them in advance. Make sure you include the major details on your invite, such as date, time, place, how they will get home, theme, and what to bring.
