Pay your fines (and/or dues) now, and contest them later. If you ignore the HOA's bills, not only will they begin to add up, but they likely will begin to accumulate additional late fees, penalties, and/or interest. The HOA usually has the power (and likely the will and ability) to place a lien on your property and even to foreclose on the property in order to collect the fines. If you are successful in your fight against the HOA, you likely will be able to get your payments refunded with interest. Remember, however, to make an effort to negotiate a resolution of fines and/or collection disputes between you and your HOA or its lawyer. Your HOA may be incentivized to settle your matter in order to avoid future expensive attorney fees. If you are having an issue with your HOA, your neighbors might be having the same issue with the HOA. They can help to advise, support, and strengthen your fight. The more that members join together, the more likely the HOA will back down. It could be useful to gather signatures of neighbors who agree with you into a petition. As a unified group, you can more easily make positive changes by convincing board members to vote for specific changes to the rules or by voting in (or out) board members. The best proactive measure you can take when challenging an action your HOA has taken against you is to regularly attend and participate in HOA board meetings. Being present and knowing what actions the board is planning to take, and discovering past actions the board has taken, will alert and inform you of what you can expect as a challenging homeowner. HOA Board meetings can show you how the HOA addresses specific issues. Therefore, requesting copies of the minutes of a prior board meeting that addressed a similar circumstance will help you in laying a foundation in court that the HOA is treating you unfairly and being unreasonable. If you treat them with respect and kindness, you likely will get closer to your own goal. Remain professional, write well-reasoned letters, and speak politely in a cool, collected tone. While it may feel good to contemplate kicking in the door to a board meeting and calling the board members a variety of names, it will not help your cause. Instead, simply convey your position, any evidence you have to support your position, and what you actually want the HOA to do for you. This is not to say that you should avoid a show of strength. In fact, it is a good idea to make sure the HOA board knows that you intend to advance your position. Just be respectful. Write a professional letter respectfully asking for a hearing on your issue. Attend the hearing with multiple copies of your evidence and/or a signed petition showing neighborhood support. When you speak, keep it factual. While you may feel anger and frustration, keep your statement clear, concise, and professional. You might also consider filing a grievance with the HOA against specific individuals in the HOA (or under the HOA's control) who are harassing you, randomly and capriciously enforcing regulations against you, or otherwise treating you poorly. In your written request for a hearing, request copies of the HOA's records that were used as a basis for the HOA action against you, or the denial of your request for improvements to your property. However, some executive sessions of the HOA board meetings may be able to be held back from you, so check the rules. Oftentimes you can remove a troublesome board member by as little as 10% of members voting for such a recall. You can also try to amend the rules, though this process likely would require a substantial effort. However, if you can "sell" a change in the rules to fellow members as something that would benefit them (rather than simply helping you personally to avoid a fine), you might be able to gather the required support. Another, easier alternative to amending the rules would be to apply for a "variance." This is, essentially, a request for an exception to the rules for your particular case. For example, perhaps you have a medical condition that requires a large handicapped-accessible van be parked in front of your home but parking vehicles long term on the street is usually restricted. The HOA might make an exception (grant a variance) in your case either as a gesture of good will or in order to avoid a lawsuit.

Q: Take the time to wash your extensions at least a few times a week if not daily. Remove light debris and dust in between washings with a little warm water and combing. Do this by wetting your lashes with a little warm water and then very gently combing them out. Don't let moisture-rich products like shampoos, conditioners, glycerin, or heavy creams near your lashes or lash line to protect the integrity of the adhesive. For example, tilt your head back in the shower to keep these products away from your eyes. Also try dabbing a very thin line of 70% isopropyl alcohol on your lash line once a week to wipe away excess oil that can be produced by sweat when you exercise frequently. Avoid tugging, rubbing, or pulling at your lashes. This will loosen them and make them look clumpy if you're not careful. It can also pull out your natural lashes. Get them professionally removed if the extensions itch or are otherwise really bothering you. Avoid cream eyeshadows, and use powdered eyeshadow as you normally would, focusing application at the very corners of your eyes. Steer away from liquid eyeliner, which can damage your extensions. Most importantly, never use mascara. It will damage your extensions and leave them looking and feeling crusty.
A: Clean your extensions regularly. Keep your lashes oil-free. Don't rub your eyes. Use eye makeup carefully.

Article: If you are hiring a DJ, getting refreshments catered, getting professional help with the decorations, or hiring a professional photographer, start gathering quotes at least one month in advance. Ask about any surcharges or equipment fees, as well as hourly rates. Inquire about what your vendors will supply, and what you are expected to have. For example, check with your DJ to see if they provide the sound system, or if you will need to rent one from elsewhere. Contact at least three options for every vendor to ensure that you get competitive pricing. Your budget will dictate much of what you can and cannot do. Talk to your student government treasurer to better understand how much money your committee has to spend on the dance. Ask your faculty adviser to verify the budget. See if the school will contribute anything outside of the student government money. Plan your budget to encompass everything you will need. Use the quotes you got from your vendors as well as budget plans and receipts from previous years to figure out what the dance will cost. Do not let your budget exceed the amount you have available. Revisit your budget often to ensure you are on track. If your budget is not enough to cover the cost of the dance, create a fundraising plan with your committee. Explore multiple options both on and off campus. Host bake sales on campus during lunch periods as well as before and after school. Work with other student groups to raise money by hosting events such as a car wash. Events that let you reach out into your community give you more opportunities to bring in cash. Ask local restaurants if they offer fundraising nights. Some restaurants may offer programs that donate a certain percent of profits for the night to a student organization. Partner with a local eatery and spread the word via flyers, emails, and social media.
