Q: Occlusive products work to block the cold, dry air from taking the moisture out of your skin. Look for body lotions, facial creams, and lip balms that contain a combination of nourishing ingredients, such as aloe or cocoa butter, and occlusive ingredients, such as jojoba oil, shea butter, or beeswax. Petroleum jelly also provides a durable barrier against the wind and the cold, and can be used in thin layers to protect areas such as the lips, the skin under the eyes, or fingertips during cold-weather runs, skiing, or other outdoor activities. If you are looking to undertake an intense or extended activity outdoors in cold weather such as cross-country skiing or running a marathon, consider purchasing a specialty anti-frostbite product, which may be available from sporting goods stores or a dermatologist. Once you are done in the cold, look for a hydrating and nourishing product to help your skin recover some of its lost moisture. Body oils and specially-formulated facial oils often work well for this purpose, as well as water-based lotions and moisturizers. Those with sensitive skin or who are prone to acne may want to avoid oil-based products and instead opt for rich water-based creams. Consult with a dermatologist before introducing an oil to sensitive skin. Be sure to care for your lips, as well. The skin in this area is extra thin and sensitive, so be sure to use a hydrating lip balm each time you come in from a cold, dry environment. Windburn attacks the skin's natural moisture, so it is important to not do anything that may further strip this moisture away. Opt for taking warm showers instead of steaming hot ones, as this can help prevent dehydration of the skin, and avoid products with drying agents such as retinal and salicylic acid. If you must do something that will lessen the nature moisture of the skin, make sure to replace lost hydration by drinking water regularly and using a lotion or body butter to protect the skin. It is also advisable to avoid having stripping treatments such as facial peels or microdermabrasion done a week or less before you will be spending extended periods of time outside in the cold.
A: Use occlusive moisturizers before going out. Use hydrating moisturizers when coming back. Avoid stripping natural moisture.

Q: Get good curtains to block streetlight, and consider getting blackout curtains if you are really disturbed by light. Eliminate light sources in your bedroom anything that emits light should be turned to face the wall, covered, or turned off. Nightlights are a bad idea. In the hours before you sleep, dim the lights in your house and avoid screens. If you share a room with someone who needs lights on in the morning or after you have gone to bed, sleep with a soft cotton sleep mask. Light inhibits the production of melatonin, a hormone that makes you feel tired. The light emitted from electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops is particularly stimulating, preventing your body from making melatonin and making it very difficult for you to fall asleep. Try to avoid using these devices before bed. Though some ambient noise may be comforting, you are less likely to sleep well in a house full of irregular noises. Consider earplugs if you live with other people. Set a noise policy with your housemates or family that will keep the house quiet at nighttime. The sound of a fan or white noise machine may help you fall asleep and stay asleep. White noise combines sounds of many different frequencies, which can mask other sounds that might disrupt your sleep or wake you up. Piling on blankets may make you feel sleepy, but being overheated can actually interfere with your sleep. Regulate your room's temperature and toss off blankets if you are hot. Sleep naked if you feel comfortable doing so, so your body can self-regulate its temperature. Lower the heat at night. Your core temperature goes down at night, so keeping your room cool will help you stay comfortable. Some people believe that taking a cool shower at night may help you fall asleep, as it lowers the body's temperature to the level it's at when you sleep. The quality of your mattress and pillow can affect your sleep. You will sleep best on a mattress that feels right to you. Your mattress may need replacing every seven years, or earlier if it is sagging or uncomfortable. If you wake up with a sore neck or back, or if you sleep better in other places than you do at home, you may need a new mattress. Make sure your bed is the right length and width. If you are sharing a bed, make sure there is space for both of you to move naturally. Set limits with pets and children if sharing your bed wakes you up or crowds you. It's hard to relax in a cluttered room. Tidy up at night, and put away anything that reminds you of daily cares. Your work should be out of sight. Remove any unnecessary belongings from your room, and store them elsewhere. Keep a clear path between your bed and the door.
A: Keep your room dark at night. Stop noise pollution. Cool down. Nest in a supportive bed. Keep your room clear.

Q: Since your closet is one of the main things in your room, you need to make sure it is always kept clean. Get several big garbage bags and put the clothes in piles: throw away, give away, sell, laundry and clean. Put the dirty clothes into the washing machine/hamper, while the clean clothes back in your closet after folding them and sorting them the way you want. This could be by color, style or usage rate. Hang up any shirts, T-shirts, dresses, sweaters and cardigans etc., and fold up pants, jeans, leggings etc. Sort the things on your desk into three piles: keep, throw away and give away. Do the same as what you did with your clothes. If your desk has drawers sort them out like you did the surface of your desk. Put back what you want to keep but make sure to organize it and not put it back where it doesn't belong! Strip your sheets off the bed and throw them in to the laundry. Get new sheets that you like and are comfortable to sleep on, and put them on the bed. It's good to have a comfortable bed that also looks good. Arrange the pillows however you want it. Throw away, give away, sell and keep. Remember, whenever you put something back, put it back neatly!
A: Clean out your closet. Clean your desk or working space. Re-make your bed. Organise any shelves or nightstands the way you did with your closet. Wipe any surfaces you have, they might be dusty!

Q: An easy way to throw a great party is to have a themed party. By creating a theme for your party, you can easily make the decorations, food, music, and activities match each other making the party cohesive. Themes can be anything from a certain time period like the fifties to colors like a red and black party. You can also theme a party on a certain holiday like Valentine's Day or The 4th of July. Another great type of house party is a party focused on a specific event. Invite your friends over to watch a television event, or throw a house party for someone's birthday or a holiday. When you throw a house party focused on a specific event it's easy to base the theme off of this as well. Have a Superbowl party for everyone to watch this year's Superbowl game. Theme your decorations and food on football or the teams playing in the Superbowl. Throw a house party for a friend's birthday or for a holiday like New Year's Eve. Invite a group of friends over to watch an award show like the Oscars. Create an elegant feel by using the colors black, white, and gold for your party. You can throw a house party that's based on a specific activity to let all of your guests have fun as a group. Activities like karaoke and dancing are great to focus a party on. Another fun activity focused party is a murder mystery party where each guest is given a role to play and gets to try and figure out the answer to a mystery.
