Problem: Article: Making a meal plan will help you to only buy what you need and therefore stay under budget. If you don't already have healthy recipes you love, find some you like online, do some research with recipes books, or ask your friends for recommendations. One site you can try is the USDA's What's Cooking website (https://whatscooking.fns.usda.gov/). It has healthy recipes that you can use to plan meals. Don't forget to plan around your schedule. Opt for leftovers or quick meals on nights you're going to be busy. You may think that eating healthy means you need to try out a bunch of new trendy health foods. While these trendy foods may be healthy, that doesn't mean they're the only healthy foods. Stick to simpler ingredients that you know, even something as simple as a roasted chicken with vegetables and brown rice. You'll be more likely to keep eating healthy, and you'll save money at the same time. Once you've planned out your meals, create a list of the items you'll need. Sticking to a list (and not buying extras) can help you stay on budget, so you can afford healthier food. Meal planning isn't just for eating at home. It can help to make a plan before you go to a restaurant. Look over the menu if it's available online, and compare calorie counts. Many restaurants have the calorie counts available, but you can also use online calorie counters or websites. Consider choosing a healthy appetizer to save money. It will also keep the portion small. Opt for dishes with lean proteins paired with whole grains and lots of veggies. Choose veggies or fruit over fries, onion rings, or mashed potatoes. Ask for a take-out box when you get your food. Split it in half before you start eating, and put half in the box to take home. Splitting it up helps you control your portion and stretch your money.
Summary: Decide on your main meals for the week. Stick with what you know. Create your shopping list. Plan ahead when you eat out.

Problem: Article: Playing with your hair can make your hair become greasier because of the oils that you naturally have on your fingers. You should also try to avoid pulling or picking at split ends, as doing this will only make the situation worse. If you are prone to split ends, get your hair trimmed often to keep it looking healthy. Try to get your hair cut every 3 months, and consider getting it trimmed every 6 weeks. Try to avoid dying your hair too often, as dye can really dry out and damage your hair. Hair dye contains main harsh chemicals that can leave your hair dry and broken. If you want to continue to dye your hair, wait until your roots grow out a bit before dying your hair again. By choosing the correct foods, you can increase hair growth and repair and prevent hair loss. If you do not get enough nutrients each day, your hair will most likely become thin. Make sure you are eating enough protein. Hair is made of protein, so eating plenty of meat, eggs, and other protein-rich foods will give your body what it needs to grow and repair your hair. Look for foods containing Omega 3 fatty acids and other essential fatty acids. This includes oily fish, (eg. salmon, tuna and mackerel), and almonds. Vitamins B6 and B12 are also good for your hair. Healthy hair needs to be hydrated, so make sure you drink plenty of water to give it the hydration it needs. This will also help to hydrate your skin and nails, as well as making you feel healthier. Pollution, smoke and smoking all dry out your hair. Do your best to limit the amount that you smoke or are around others who smoke, and avoid heavily polluted areas. If you are often out in the hot sun, then protect your hair by wearing a hat or bandana; doing this can also help to protect your skin from getting burnt. If you don't like wearing hats, apply products that can protect your hair from the sun, such as protective leave-in conditioner, or watered down sunscreen. Try to avoid using products that contain alcohol if you are going to be out in the sun, as these can damage your hair even more. When you go swimming, protect your hair from harsh chemicals such as chlorine. Use a spray leave-in conditioner before going swimming to minimize the amount of chlorine that your hair can absorb. For maximum protection from the chlorine you can either avoid getting your hair wet, or wear a swimming cap. If your hair gets damaged by chlorine, try mixing a small amount of vinegar into your shampoo to help restore your hair's natural strength, or you can add about 1 teaspoon of olive oil into your leave-in conditioner (if you have one) since olive oil helps strengthen hair.
Summary: Don't pick at your hair. Get your hair trimmed often. Don't change your hair colour too often. Eat healthy foods. Drink lots of water. Don't let your environment affect your hair. Protect your hair from the sun. Keep your hair from being damaged by harsh chemicals.

Problem: Article: Both your puppy and your cat need a room in which they can adjust. You do not want to force a meeting right away. Give your pets separate care and attention for the first day or two. You should usually confine the new pet initially, meaning you should keep your puppy in a separate room before letting her roam around the house. Make sure the room is stocked with adequate food, water, and toys. Make sure to spend plenty of time with your new puppy as she adjusts to your home. You should switch out which animal is confined. This will give them each a chance to explore the home. They can also get used to one another's smells, and become increasingly comfortable with the fact a new animal is present. Rotate the animals every few hours. It's important the puppy has a chance to leave the room and explore a little, but you should not allow her free-range of the house yet, as this may interfere with potty training. Expand the area in which the puppy is confined to two or three rooms and watch her closely to watch for signs of toileting. When the animals are not confined, they may interact through the door. Your dog may, for example, sniff or paw at the door. For the most part, this is safe; however, if your puppy is excessively pawing at the door, correct the behavior. This can cause stress for your cat, leading to a messy introduction. It's very important the dog and the cat get accustomed to one another's scent. You can swap small bits of bedding, like pillows or blankets. You can also exchange toys. Try rubbing a towel on one animal and putting the towel under the other animal's food dish. You should never leave your pets unsupervised before you've made many successful face-to-face introductions. Make sure both the dog and cat are securely confined to separate areas when no one is home. You may wish tocrate train your puppy and keep her safely confined while you are out, allowing the cat free range (as he is presumably already comfortable in the house) If you secure the cat in a room while you're gone, make sure he has access to a litter box.
Summary:
Set up a space to confine your cat or dog. Alternate which animal is confined. Exchange scents. Keep the animals confined while no one is home.
