Problem: Article: Foods containing omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, tuna, and nuts, can help improve the health of your hair follicles. This can make your lashes grow, and make them stronger and healthier. If you are a vegetarian, you can try omega-3 supplements. Walnuts and flax seeds are good vegan sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Vegetarians who are not vegan can also get this nutrient from eggs. Biotin is also called vitamin H. It helps make your nails and hair stronger and healthier. Low levels of biotin can lead to hair loss. Try adding this nutrient to your diet to help promote longer, thicker lashes. Biotin is found in yeast, egg yolks, cauliflower, peanuts, avocado, raspberries, pork, almonds, bananas, mushrooms, nut butters, and salmon. Iron helps strengthen your lashes so they aren't brittle and don't fall out. Plenty of iron in your diet can help your lashes grow longer and stronger. Foods with high amounts of iron include spinach, shellfish, liver, beans, red meat, egg yolks, and turkey. Folic acid helps your lashes grow thicker and stronger. Folic acid also helps your lashes get a natural darker color. Folic acid is found in milk, peanuts, legumes, and whole grain cereal.
Summary: Eat more omega-3 fatty acids. Increase biotin. Include more iron. Eat more foods containing folic acid.

Problem: Article: Start to carry cash in a variety of denominations with you when out shopping. Buying everything with cash will make the transactions seem more real. You'll actually have to count out the money that you've earned instead of simply handing over a piece of plastic. If you give yourself a certain amount of cash to spend each week, you can also start to budget. Studies have shown that people will spend twice as much on the same item when they pay with a credit card instead of cash. If you are trying to avoid spending any money at all, you can leave your entire wallet at home as well. Make all of your cards inaccessible by cutting them in half with scissors. Make sure to keep one with a higher limit intact, just in case you have an emergency. You might want to give this card to a trusted friend or family member for safekeeping. Also, clear out all saved credit card information from your computer to keep you from making online purchases. Cutting the cards up is enough, you do not need to formally close out the accounts. Closing a charge account can have a negative impact on your credit score. It is okay to leave cards active online in order to pay recurring bills, such as utilities. If you see something at the store that you must have, then look at your watch and give yourself a half-hour to think about buying it. Walk around in other sections of the store or leave the place entirely and decide to come back if necessary. Before you head out to the grocery or department store, sit down with pen and paper (or your phone) and make a detailed shopping list. It should contain all of the items that you plan to purchase. As you pick up each item, mark if off the list. You can go to your browser settings and check down any particular shopping sites as blocked. This will make it more difficult to access them if the urge to shop overtakes you. You can also purchase a program, such as Covenant Eyes, which will monitor and block commercial sites from your personal electronic devices. Every week or so go through and clear out your cookies and cache as well. This will make it more difficult for companies to send ads to you via your computer. Go through your emails and click "unsubscribe" to any sent by companies advertising products. Look through your paper mail and call or email those companies who send you mailers or fliers for products. Keep doing this until you no longer receive these mailings. Select and delete or disable all commercial or shopping apps from your phone or tablet. You should even remove those that are linked to reward programs. Also, disable any "one-click" purchasing preferences that are activated on sites or apps, such as Amazon.
Summary: Pay with cash only. Cut up all of your charge cards. Wait thirty minutes before making a purchase. Make a list before shopping. Block shopping websites on your computer. Block all promo or coupon emails or mailers. Remove all shopping apps from your mobile devices.

Problem: Article: You might use half an envelope or a paper box. The size of the container will necessarily depend on the size of the bridge you have built. Use a string or bent paperclip to attach the container to the center of the bridge. A thin bridge may break immediately after you attach the container, but a thicker, stronger spaghetti bridge will hold. You can use multiple hanging points to distribute the weight evenly across the bridge. Alternatively, you can place the weight directly on the roadbed of the bridge. However, this will increase the chances of you accidentally collapsing the bridge when placing weights on it, so be very careful. Again, the size and density of the weighted objects will depend on the size of the bridge you built. For smaller bridges, coins will work as weighted objects. For larger bridges, consider using something like bags of sand or, if your bridge is quite large, actual weights from a weight set. Make sure you know the actual weight of the objects you use so that you can accurately determine how much weight you've added to the bridge before it collapses. Begin to add weights to the container a little at a time. Take care not to jar the bridge or cause the container to swing. This can be a very nerve-wracking process. Eventually, you will have added too much weight for your bridge to hold and it will collapse. After enjoying the bridge's destruction, determine how much weight the bridge held by calculating the sum of the weights you added to the bridge. You will now want to go through this process again making minor alterations to the materials or adjustments to how you constructed the bridge. The goal here is to see if you can build a stronger bridge capable of holding more weight. Like any good science experiment, a little trial and error will be necessary.
Summary: Hang a lightweight container under the center of the bridge. Acquire weighted objects. Add weight. Watch the bridge collapse. Go back to the drawing board.

Problem: Article: These nonverbal cues can show the other person that you're fully engaged in what he is saying, and in agreement. Try nodding three times to show that you're really absorbing what he is saying. When it comes to smiling, make sure it reaches your eyes! If you turn up the corners of your mouth but your eyes remain neutral, you could come off as fake and insincere. Don't be obvious, but try to casually match her body language and facial expression. By doing this, you'll help the other person feel comfortable toward you. This mirroring technique has even been shown to increase a person's good will toward the person mirroring her. If she's leaning on a wall, lean on the wall. If she has crossed her arms, cross your arms. It's an effortless technique that can pay off big time. Even if you're in a formal setting, if he has clearly said something that was intended to illicit a laugh, laugh! Show him that you have a sense of humor, and you're listening to what he is saying. If you're in a tense or nerve-wracking situation, laughter is a great way to help you loosen up and lighten the mood. Avoid laughing out of nerves or because you have nothing to say. Random, unprompted laughter may make you look uncomfortable and nervous.
Summary:
Nod and smile when appropriate. Mirror the person you're speaking with. Laugh genuinely.
