Q: If you are interested in a non-image post or would like more details, contact the poster but do not make any offers until you are fully satisfied. If they don't get back to you, look for something else. Scammers will often download pictures from the internet to use in their ads. You can use images.google.com to search for this. Copy the link to the image in the add (right click). Go to images.google.com and search for that image url. Check which sites are returned and whether the seller took the picture themselves. If the image is original, then it should not appear on any other website, but if you see ads trying to sell the same object in Russia, Nigeria, etc, then the ad is probably fake. This is more common for renting an apartment or buying a car over Craigslist. If you're not sure, browse through newspaper classifieds, other Craigslist posts, use the Kelley Blue Book for vehicles, or ask friends for a reasonable price range for that specific item.
A: Prioritize posts with pictures over text-only posts. Check whether the seller has downloaded the pictures from the internet. Have some knowledge of what the item's usual price is.

Q: Flats, dress shoes, and heels are generally safe to wear at most offices. Pairing jeans with sneakers may look unprofessional. To make sure the more casual jeans blend with a more formal setting, pick your best shoes to wear to the office with jeans. For example, go for a pair of dress shoes over something like sneakers or boots. A watch is a versatile accessory that's generally appropriate for the office. It can be paired with most shirts and outfits, so throw on a watch with your jeans to make the whole look more professional. Choose a more conservative watch, however. Very brightly colored watches, or watches with sequins and other flashy embellishments, may not fit into an office setting. Blazers and cardigans can add a little professional flare to any outfit. If you're worried your outfit doesn't look work appropriate, toss on a blazer or cardigan before leaving for the office to give your look a professional feel. For example, wear a black blazer over a sleeveless blouse with a pair of black jeans. If you wear jewelry, stick to professional and simple jewelry. This is generally more office appropriate than big, flashy jewelry. For example, a plain gold chain necklace and gold stud earrings should fit into most offices. Pairing a tie with a button down shirt and jeans will give your outfit a more professional feel. Ties generally signify formality, so a tie can be a great accessory to ensure you stay work appropriate when wearing jeans to the office.
A: Select appropriate footwear. Throw on a watch. Wear a blazer or cardigan. Opt for simple, professional jewelry. Add a tie.

Q: You'll need to get in basic shape before you can start really toning your muscles. If you move directly into intense exercise, you're much more likely to get overwhelmed and quit or even injure yourself. Start building your endurance by getting off the couch and being active in your everyday life. Take the stairs when you have the choice. Stand instead of sit while you use the computer or study. Walk to places that are a mile or less from your location, instead of taking the car. Go for a relaxing walk or jog instead of watching TV. There are lots of ways to get active in your everyday life without even exercising. Burpees look complex but they're actually easy once you get used to the motions and they're one of the best full body workouts that you can do. Start in a standing position, feet apart. Put your hands down on the ground in front of your feet, jump your legs back so that you go into a push-up position, and do a push-up. Now, jump your feet back, then lift your hands above your head and jump straight up as high as you can. Repeat for at least 10 minutes. You can skip either the push-up or the jump, but both really add to the effectiveness of the exercise, so it is not recommended. Planks are one of the more efficient exercises you can do, significantly increasing the strength of your core muscles and legs in much less time than other core exercises. Start by getting into a push-up position. Now, lower your body so that instead of resting your weight on your hands, your whole forearm is resting on the ground instead. Just hold that position, with your back and legs as straight as possible, for as long as you can. You should try to hold this position for as long as you can, but you should know that holding it for a minute or more takes very strong core muscles. Start out holding the position for 10 seconds, resting for 30 seconds, and then repeating for about 10 minutes. Slowly work your way up to holding the position for 30 seconds to a minute. Squats work your core muscles and your legs, and can even work your arms if you lift small weights while you do them. A squat is done by standing with your feet about a shoulder's width apart and then crouching down, as if you're sitting in an invisible chair. Keep your back straight in order to do this exercise correctly. If you're new to squats, using a chair or table to balance can make it much easier.
A:
Be active every day to prime your body for toning. Do burpees. Do planks. Do squats.
