Problem: Article: Foam options tend to be less expensive, while innerspring mattresses typically cost more but offer higher durability. If you choose innerspring, select a mattress that has between 135 to 150 coils with a gauge lower than 15.5. These numbers can be found on the packaging. These guidelines are set by Consumer Reports and will guarantee the mattress you choose is firm enough for your baby. Press your hands into the mattress in several spots, including the middle and sides, to see if the mattress conforms to the shape of your hand or springs back to it's original shape right away. If the mattress molds to your hand, it is too soft for your baby. Your new crib mattress, especially when made from foam, needs to be very firm to reduce the risk of your baby suffocating due to sinking into a soft surface. To perform a test to check the firmness of the mattress, collect 2 full 1-liter or 1-quart rectangular milk or juice cartons with a flat bottom, 12 CDs, a ruler, a marker, and plastic wrap. Use your marker to draw a line 1.5 in (40 mm) from the bottom of one of the cartons, as measured with your ruler. Measure and mark this line on each side of the carton so there is a ring around the bottom. Stack your CDs (without the cases) neatly on top of one another and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. There should be a clear gap between the bottom ringed part of the carton and the mattress. If there is no gap, you'll need to choose a firmer mattress for your baby's safety.
Summary: Decide whether you prefer a foam or an innerspring mattress. Press on different parts of the mattress with your hands. Gather your supplies to test the firmness of the mattress. Mark one of the beverage containers. Wrap 12 CDs in plastic wrap. Look at the overhanging portion of the cartons.

Whether you're at school or work, there are things you can do to keep yourself smelling great even though you've been on your feet or at a desk all day long. Brush your teeth or use mouthwash. It instantly makes you feel and smell fresher. Reapply perfume if necessary. Don't put on too much - just a light mid-day spritz. Change clothes if you need to. If you've been physically exerting yourself, you might want to change your underclothes or socks halfway through the day. Use sanitary wipes to quickly cleanse yourself. Get the unscented kind, since scented wipes have a strong smell. Do a quick swipe in areas that need freshening, then reapply deodorant. On days when you're extremely concerned about smelling good, try not to eat a lot of onions, garlic or spicy food. These foods have components that linger in the system for awhile, and they can change the way your breath and body smells. Cruciferous vegetables, nuts and legumes also affect your smell. Eating a lot of broccoli, nuts or beans could cause you to get gassy. Instead, eat fruit and other water-heavy foods. They'll cleanse your system and help you smell good. Is your bedroom clean and fresh, or does it smell a little stale? How about your car and other places where you spend a lot of time? Keeping the spaces around you clean will help you smell fresh, too. Start by making sure your bedroom is clean. Put all your dirty clothes in a closed hamper, and hang up or fold your clean clothes for storage instead of letting them stay in a pile. Here are a few other ways to keep your spaces extra fresh: Scent your sheets and pillows with herbal spray. Mix a few drops of essential oil with water and spray your linens when you make your bed. Shampoo your carpet regularly. Carpets tend to hold in odors, and can affect the way all of your belongings smell. Between shampoos, clean your carpet by covering it with baking soda, then vacuuming it up. Clean out your car. Wash the seats and air it out regularly. If you want to keep your clothes smelling great, try storing them in drawers and closets that are scented with sachets.

They'll lightly scent your clothes and keep them from smelling stale.

Freshen up a few times a day. Stay away from foods with strong odors. Keep your surroundings clean. Scent your drawers and closets.
