article: Most makeup, like lip-stick or mascara, is oil-based which means that water will help the stain set, and make it harder to remove it. Some makeup isn't liquid, which means that it's sometimes possible to lightly brush a lip-stick or mascara stain off before it seeps into the fabric. But be very careful, as you don't want to grind the stain deeper into your jeans. If this wasn't enough, go ahead and try the next steps below. Shaving cream is especially useful for foundation spills. Just cover the stain with some shaving cream, and toss your garment into the wash. As an alternative to this step, you might consider the next one. If you're dealing with lipstick stains, hairspray can be quite effective at removing spills and smudges. Saturate the stained part of your jeans with the hair product for about fifteen minutes. Then blot it with a damp rag or cloth until the stain is gone. If hairspray makes you cringe, or you don't tolerate the smell, skip to the method below. If you're dealing with spray tan or tinted moisturizer spots, make a mixture of warm water and a little dish detergent in a cup. Dip in a sponge and then gently blot your jeans' stain with it until your garment is clean.

article: It may seem strange, but the condition of your feet is one way to determine whether you have a low metabolism. Dry feet and cracked heels indicate slow metabolism because dry skin is one of the symptoms that your thyroid hormones are out of balance. If you've eliminated other potential causes of cracking or peeling skin on your feet, such as athlete's foot or nail fungus, your slowing metabolism may be to blame. Dry skin elsewhere, as well as dry or thinning hair, also may indicate a slow metabolism. As with your feet, however, make sure you eliminate other causes for these conditions before you jump to the conclusion that your metabolism is slowing based on this single symptom. Cold feet also may be an indication of slowing metabolism. While this is related to your overall body temperature, some people may have cold hands and feet constantly, despite feeling warm elsewhere. For example, you may only be comfortable if you are wearing socks, even in warm weather. One sure way to tell if your metabolism is slowing is to think about whether you are always cold. If you have difficulty maintaining your body temperature even in a warm environment, you may have a slow metabolism. You can rely on behavior to figure this out. For example, if you're in a room with several people, all of whom are complaining that it's warm while you're shivering in a sweater, you probably have a lower overall body temperature. Take your temperature first thing when you wake up in the morning. If it's below 98, this may indicate that your body has difficulty regulating its overall temperature, which can be a symptom of slower metabolism. Slow metabolism can cause serious sleep disruptions, including insomnia. If you have severe sleep disturbances, you probably don't have to keep track of your sleep specifically to know you have a problem. However, if you've had sleep disturbances for awhile, you may have adjusted your habits to accommodate those disturbances so that they have less of an effect on you. Generally, you want to get between seven and nine hours of sleep a night. Keep a journal in which you record what time you go to bed and when you wake up. You also might want to measure how long it takes you to fall asleep. This can be all but impossible to figure out for sure on your own, but you can usually come up with a good guess. For example, if you normally read a book before bed, take note of the number of pages you read each night before you are ready to fall asleep. Figure out how long it takes you to read a page and this will give you a good idea of how long it takes you to fall asleep. If you have frequent mood swings, memory problems, or difficulty concentrating, you may have a slow metabolism. These may not be things you notice about yourself, but people who spend a lot of time with you can tell you more about how you act. Some things you may notice on your own. For example, if you find you feel extremely on edge if you haven't eaten in awhile, this can be an indication that you have a slower metabolism. You also would have an idea if you have difficulty concentrating, although that could also be due to a number of other factors. Talk to coworkers, your spouse, or even older children to see if they've noticed any changes in your behavior or mood lately. This can be particularly helpful if you think your metabolism has slowed only recently, since others around you likely would notice changes before you do yourself. While slow metabolism on its own isn't responsible for weight gain, if you've had a relatively sudden weight gain despite no changes in your lifestyle or habits, that may indicate that your metabolism is slowing. Essentially, you were consuming enough calories before to keep your weight steady or even lose weight you were burning roughly the same amount of calories that you consumed. If your metabolic rate slows, you'll burn fewer calories relative to the amount you consume, which can cause you to gain weight. Control your activity and diet consistently for a few weeks, and weigh yourself each morning or every other day. Keep a record of your weight. If you're gaining weight when you weren't before, this could indicate your metabolism has slowed.

article:
Avoidance is sometimes the easiest way to ignore someone. If someone is getting on your nerves, try to keep your distance as much as you can. You can avoid places they're likely to hang out. If an annoying co-worker always eats lunch at noon, try eating lunch outside of the office or taking a later lunch. Avoid social situations where you're likely to see that person. If annoying person from school is going to be at party this weekend, try making other plans. When you're in the same room with someone who annoys you, be aware of your eyes. If you accidentally glance at the person, this could result in eye contact. This can be misinterpreted as an invitation to come over and talk. When you're around the person, try not to look at them. This will help minimize interactions. If you work with someone, you sometimes have to communicate with them. It may be easiest to do it through others. You don't have to be rude about this. Do not, for example, say within the person's earshot something like, "Could you tell Jeff, who I'm not speaking to, to put his dirty dish in the sink?" You can, however, ask others to deliver information when necessary. For example, you're working in a group for a work project. The annoying person is in your group. You may ask one of your group members to talk to the person, or you might only reach out to them via email or text message. You can't completely avoid talking to someone, especially if you see them at work or school. You don't want to give a complete silent treatment when someone's talking to you, so work on curtailing your responses. When someone talks, give curt responses like "Hmmm" and "Okay." This will hopefully send the message that you want some space. If someone is pessimistic or highly critical of things, try to ignore it. Ignoring it may help you stay positive without their negativity affecting you. For example, if your office mate constantly complains about how much work they have, try ignoring them so that you don't feel bad about your own work. You shouldn't ignore everything. If a co-worker always teases you to the point you feel uncomfortable around them, confront them. You can say, "Would you mind not joking about my outfit? I enjoy what I wear, but it makes me feel bad when others criticize how I dress." If the annoying person is very aggressive towards you, adopt the buddy system. Try to have friends or co-workers accompany you places you're likely to see the person. Friends can, for example, walk with you between classes or eat lunch with you to keep the annoying person away.
