Q: Letting go of a sentimental item can feel like you're giving up a memory, but that's not really true. However, honoring your memories may help you feel better about clearing out your clutter. Tell someone else about the memory a special item represents. This helps you preserve your memories without having to hold onto the item. For instance, post a photo of the item on your social media account and tell the story about it. If you have concert stubs from when you were first dating your significant other, you might send them a pic of the stubs with a comment about your favorite concert. You might feel silly telling an inanimate object "goodbye," but doing so can make it easier to let an item go. Saying "goodbye" creates closure and helps you honor the memory associated with the item you're letting go. As you sort your items, tell each individual item "goodbye" or say it to all of the items you're letting go at once. Marie Kondo, author of The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, encourages you to say, "Thank you," to items you no longer need. Take a photo of items you're releasing so you can remember them. Snap a photo and save it to a digital folder so you can look at it whenever you like. Moving forward, avoid creating more clutter by photographing special items rather than saving them. For instance, you might save 1 drawing that your child made and photograph the rest. Similarly, let's say your grandparents left you a set of dishes you don't like. Take a photo of the dishes set out on the table, then donate them to someone who will cherish them. It'll be easier to let go of your items if you know they're going to a good home. Check with your family and friends to see if they want heirlooms or items you know they may like. Take your remaining items to a charity that collects items for people in need or a thrift shop that resales used goods. You could also sell your unwanted items at a garage sale or online. However, don't bring unsold items back into your home.
A: Share the memory of items you don't want so it's easier to let them go. Say "goodbye" to items you want to let go. Collect photos of sentimental items instead of clutter. Donate or give away items you no longer need.

Q: Simple baked tempeh can be made with either dry seasoned or marinated tempeh pieces. Baked tempeh is a great main dish paired with vegetables, rice, or quinoa. To make baked tempeh, do the following: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or use a paper towel to oil it, so the tempeh doesn't stick. Place the tempeh pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake the tempeh for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and crispy. Heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, lay the tempeh strips or cubes in the oil. Cook them on one side for about 3 minutes, until they turn golden brown and crispy, then flip the pieces with a pair of tongs and cook them on the other side. Heat several inches of cooking oil with a high smoke point (like peanut or vegetable oil) in a deep frying pan or dutch oven. When the oil reaches a temperature of 400 degrees, put strips or chunks of tempeh in the oil. Fry them for about 4 minutes, or until they're golden brown and crispy. Remove them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. You can bread tempeh before frying it if you want it to have a crunchy crust. Dip the tempeh in an egg or milk, then dredge it in flour, panko or breadcrumbs mixed with salt and spices. Fry the tempeh as instructed. Cooked tempeh pieces taste great in any dish that calls for a protein. Decide whether the dish would taste best with baked, sauteed or fried tempeh, then top it with dressing, mix it with vegetables, add some sauce, or otherwise treat it as you would chicken, fish or tofu. Add chopped, cooked tempeh to soup or stew. For salads, just toss the blocks of tempeh with greens and other ingredients to make a nice hot salad, or let the whole thing cool for a fresh, chilled result. Put strips of tempeh into sandwiches and build a panini, club or other option for a great taste that doesn't use meat.
A: Bake the tempeh. Saute the tempeh. Fry the tempeh. Mix cooked pieces into dishes.

Horseback riding, swimming, skiing, and rowing are all fun and interesting ways to get your muscles in motion. Similar to exercising, don't eat with the intention of losing weight.

Q: You can help prevent skin cancer by wearing SPF. You should apply SPF 30 or more to any area of your body that will be exposed to the sun. Use about one ounce of sunscreen to cover your skin every time you apply it. You can wear a non-comedogenic moisturizer with sunscreen on your face to help your pores from getting clogged. In order to help prevent skin cancer, you should avoid going outside during the times when the sun is at its peak. This is typically between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm. This is because the sun's rays are most direct during this time of day. If you have to be outside, try to stay in the shade as much as possible. When you are going to spend a long time in the sun, you should wear protective coverings over your body. This means you should wear long pants, long sleeve shirts, hats, and sunglasses. This will limit unwanted UV radiation exposure to your skin. If you are not sure if your mole or skin area is skin cancer, make an appointment with your dermatologist. If you are at high risk, you should have regular exams with your dermatologist to keep track of it. If you have had severe sunburn recently, you may also need to get checked out. If your dermatologist is worried about a mole, you may need a shave biopsy to check the tissue.
A:
Use sunscreen. Avoid peak sun exposure times. Wear protective clothing. Talk to your dermatologist.
