Q: Before you start looking up options online, sit down and talk with your family members to see what everyone else has in mind for a beach trip. Whether you are planning a day at the beach or a vacation to a beach city, it will help to find out what everyone wants to do. You might want to take notes to remind yourself what everyone wants to do and then you can refer to these when you make the arrangements and pack for your trip. For example, perhaps your partner wants to look for seashells, your daughter wants to learn to surf, and your son wants to build a sandcastle. Look into your local beaches by doing a quick internet search, asking friends and family, or asking for recommendations on social media. You may have some great beaches close to where you live if you are near a lake or the ocean. You might have a great beach trip option within a short distance from your home that you've not yet explored. Try checking for beaches at local state parks. You can also look into public beaches in your area. If you plan to go out of the area for your beach trip, then you might look into a beach resort that you can stay at for a few days. Beach resorts are hotels on the beach with extra amenities, such as restaurants, swimming pools, and complimentary beach gear. Some popular beach destinations where you can find a resort include: Myrtle Beach, North Carolina Laguna Beach, California Daytona Beach, Florida If your family enjoys camping, then you might try to find a beach where camping is permitted. This will allow you family to stay overnight and it is also a great budget option. Some good choices include: Beaches at state and national parks KOA (Kampgrounds of America) in the US and Canada Public beaches with campsites You might want to cook out on a grill at the beach, have a campfire, rinse the sand off your feet at a public shower, or simply use a clean restroom. Whatever amenities you want in the beach you visit, try to find one that has them all! You should be able to find this information on the beach's website if they have one, or by asking a friend or family member who has visited that beach.
A: Have a family meeting to discuss your options. Choose a beach location close to home if you are just going for the day. Select a beach resort if you want to spend multiple days at the beach. Look into a beach that you can camp at if your family is outdoorsy. Make sure the beach you choose has the amenities you need.

Q: Use a plastic comb to divide your hair into four manageable sections. Part your hair down the center, from the crown of your head to the nape of your neck. Then divide those sections in half, horizontally, from ear to ear. Use a plastic clip to secure each section of your hair up and out of the way so you can concentrate on one at a time. Put on protective gloves. Pour the dye components and developer into a large bowl, then mix it up until until fully incorporated. Check the instructions that came with your products to make sure there are not any additional directions. Drape a towel around your shoulder. Start with one of the top sections and work your way down to the bottom two. Unclip one of the top sections of hair. Use an applicator to saturate the section with the dye mixture. Use thin coats to ensure even application. Once saturated, clip it back up. Take out the clip and use the applicator to thoroughly apply the dye mixture to your hair. Once saturated, clip it back up out of the way. Continue in this fashion until you have saturated all of your hair with the dye. Different products and brands will vary in exact time frames for color development, but in general, you will be waiting anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes. Check the instructions that came with yours and follow those specific directions. Rinse thoroughly while gently massaging your scalp. Continue to rinse until the water runs completely clear. Once rinsed you can proceed to style your hair right away.
A: Divide your hair into four even sections. Mix your chosen dye with volume 10 developer. Release one section of hair. Release the next section of hair. Wait 20 to 45 minutes to allow the color to develop. Rinse out the dye with cold water.

Q: Many people feel like they can't keep their home clean. However, if you have good cleaning habits, your home practically cleans itself. For example, if you take something out, put it away immediately after using it to reduce any clutter. Other examples include: Putting dirty dishes straight into the dishwasher after using them Taking out the trash every night Putting dirty clothes straight into the clothes hamper You don't have to dedicate a whole day to cleaning your home. Instead, clean for thirty minutes or so every day. This will spread the work out over the week, breaking harder jobs into manageable chunks. If possible, create a routine. For example: Spend ten minutes cleaning after breakfast every day. Set a timer for thirty minutes each evening and clean until it goes off. While your coffee brews in the mornings, tidy up your kitchen. Many larger cleaning jobs, such as vacuuming and mopping, can be spread out over the course of a month. There are many deep-cleaning schedules available online that can be tailored to a variety of homes and apartments. For example: If you have a lot of carpets, choose a schedule that asks you to vacuum them every few weeks. A good schedule should include weekly dusting to keep the surfaces in your home clean. Any tile in your home should be mopped or scrubbed once a week.
A: Build good cleaning habits. Clean a little bit every day. Create a deep-cleaning schedule.

Q: Even though cats aren't known for being the friendliest creatures, often preferring to be by themselves rather than constantly in owners' arms, they should not be constantly trying to get away from people. This can be a sign that they need a reduction in environmental stressors. If your cat consistently ducks out of the room or dodges behind furniture every time someone enters the room, you should try to figure out what's wrong. New cats may hide more than cats who are accustomed to their homes, so don't be alarmed if your new cat hides for a while after moving in. If you have a cat cohabitating with other pets, it should be easy to tell if aggression is a normal behavior or not. If your cat consistently snaps at or picks fights with animals it used to play happily with, the cat very well may be stressed. Your cat may be sick instead of stressed, so identify any stressors that could be triggering this behavior before heading to the vet. You are also probably attuned to how your cat interacts with other humans. If your cat used to be warm toward people, or even passively accepted their presence, and suddenly starts lashing out, you have a problem. Again, if you are mystified by this aggression, take stock of your home environment and identify any stressors. If there aren't any, the cat may be sick.
A:
Notice when your cat isolates itself. Be concerned about aggression toward other animals. Address aggression toward people.
