Article: Choose clothes made of natural fibers with a loose weave, such as cotton or linen. Light colors can also help keep you cooler since they don't absorb as much light and heat as dark colors. Sweat stains show up most visibly on gray clothing, so try to avoid that color. Bring an extra shirt and a pair of pants or skirt that you can change into if you have sweaty spots on your outfit. Before changing, use a cloth or a handkerchief to wipe away excess sweat. Additionally, bring extra socks if your feet sweat a lot. If necessary, swap out sweaty socks for a fresh pair 2 or 3 times a day. Pack extra clothes in a backpack or compact travel bag. You could also keep extra clothes in your car or in your office at work. Moisture-wicking apparel is made of specially designed fabric that absorbs and dispels sweat. Wear moisture-wicking undershirts and underwear to avoid visible sweat stains on your outer clothes. Moisture-wicking apparel can be pricey. Cotton undergarments are more affordable and can absorb sweat, but they're not as effective as specialty performance apparel. If your hands sweat a lot, try spraying them with an aerosol antiperspirant in the morning and before bedtime. Rubbing them with baby powder, baking soda, or cornstarch as needed could also help keep them dry. Remember to dry your hands well with a towel or blow dryer before applying antiperspirant. If your hands are often clammy, avoid using thick, oily lotions that contain petroleum jelly. Leather and other natural materials are good choices for dress shoes. When shopping for sneakers, look for options that have small holes for air circulation. Additionally, wear sandals or go barefoot whenever possible so your feet can breathe. You could also purchase moisture-wicking athletic socks. If your head and face sweat a lot and ruin your makeup, apply a matting primer before foundation, blush, and eye makeup. After applying your makeup, finish with a setting spray or powder to prevent it from running. You should also carry blotting wipes to soak up sweat without ruining your makeup. Coffee filters also work well in a pinch. Before applying makeup, you can also spray your hairline with an aerosol antiperspirant. Be sure to test it on a small area of skin first to avoid irritation.

Article: This breathing exercise can be done when you're feeling tired or drained emotionally. The result of doing this exercise should be that you feel revived, re-energized and ready-to-go. These exercises can be done 2-3 times a day. Experts recommend trying this exercise in the mid-afternoon (2-4pm) to help avoid that afternoon slump. Sit straight up. Put your palms together in front of you with your fingers pointed upwards. Close your eyes lightly. Start by inhaling your breath. Break your inhale into four parts where you're able to fill your lungs completely on the 4th part. One inhale broken into four parts means that you pause during your inhale four times. Your inhale will seem like four inhales, but without any exhales in-between. Once you've filled your lungs, start the exhale. Just like the inhale, break your exhaling breath into four parts. You're lungs should be empty by the 4th part of the exhale. One exhale broken into four parts is the same as the inhale. While exhaling, pause four times so it seems like you're exhaling four times, but without any inhales. Every time you do a part breath on both the inhale and exhale, pull your belly button area in towards your spine. This means you'll do this movement four times on an inhale and four times on an exhale. Each breath (an inhale and an exhale) should take a total of 7-8 seconds. Continue breathing using this method for up to 3 minutes before relaxing. If you're having trouble concentrating on your breathing because you're distracted, add a mantra. The simple mantra "Sa - Ta - Na - Ma" can be done once for an inhale and once for an exhale. Each syllable of the mantra would coincide with a part of the breath. Because this is a breathing exercise you won't be able to say the mantra out loud, instead just say it in your head. The mantra "Sa - Ta - Na - Ma" means "Infinity - Life - Death - Rebirth." After you've done the breathing exercise for about three minutes, end by doing one last big inhale. At the same time push the palms of your hands together hard and hold them together like that for about 10-15 seconds. Pushing your hands together while breathing inwards should make your body feel tense. This is done on purpose. Relax your hands and exhale with force. Repeat the inhale (with hands pressed together) and exhale one more time each. If you need to relax and rest for a few minutes afterwards, that's okay. Lie on your back and close your eyes for 2-5 minutes. Take a few deep breaths while lying on your back and stretch your body out. Then get going!

Know when and how often to do this breathing exercise. Get into position. Inhale. Exhale. Pull in your belly button. Continue the breathing activity for up to 3 minutes. Introduce a mantra. End the breathing exercise. Rest if needed.
Article: If you have a mortgage on the property, total the mortgage payments you would make over the course of a year, including interest, taxes, and any associated fees. These payments are part of your cost of owning the property. Even if you don't have a mortgage, you're likely still responsible for property taxes on the property. Those would also be considered part of your costs of ownership. If you don't own the property yet, use an estimate of mortgage payments or get an offer from a mortgage company for the property and use that number instead. If you rent out the property, you'll typically need landlord insurance, which may have different rates than homeowner's insurance. If you don't already own the property, a quote from a reputable insurer will help you estimate this cost. In addition to landlord's insurance, you may also want to consider other types of insurance to cover damage to the property. Rent insurance may also be available to you, which provides you some money in the event your tenant breaks their lease or needs to be evicted for nonpayment of rent. If you've hired a management company to run the property on your behalf, their fees are considered part of your costs. You may also have other property expenses or fees, depending on where the property is located. For example, if you only own the building but not the land, you may have to pay rent for the land that the property sits on. If you have a unit in an apartment building or condominium complex, you may also have association fees to consider. Over the course of the year, your tenant may have things break that need to be repaired. While you can't necessarily predict all of these expenses, you can typically come up with a reasonable estimate based on the age of the property and its fixtures. You also want to consider major repairs that may be necessary in the event of a natural disaster or other event. While your insurance may cover some of this expense, you'll likely still have to pay a deductible.
