Problem: Article: Ketones are measured primarily by people on a ketogenic (keto) diet. They can also be used by diabetic individuals. Ketone strips are readily available at drugstores and large pharmacies. Look in the dietary supply section, or in a section dedicated to diabetic medical equipment. The strips will come in a plastic container or a cardboard box, and should have "Ketone" printed on the side. Ketone strips will also be available in the pharmacy section of most large grocery stores. The strips are also available through major online retailers. Urinate into a disposable plastic cup to collect the urine sample. Then, dip about 14 inch (0.64cm) of the ketone strip into the urine. Be sure to dip in the tip that contains the ketone-sensing chemicals. This end will be slightly thicker than the other. You can purchase disposable plastic cups at any grocery store. Check the dental section or the section containing plastic plates and plastic ware. For most individuals, it's easiest simply to urinate directly onto the strip. Do this over a toilet. After you're finished urinating, hold the ketone strip over the toilet bowl so that the urine doesn't drip on the floor. If you're urinating while seated, try not to dip the ketone strip into the toilet water. This will dilute the urine and ruin the sample.
Summary: Purchase ketone strips at a local drugstore. Dip the ketone strip into a urine sample. Urinate on the ketone strip if you prefer not to collect a sample.

Problem: Article: If your partner is really pushing for phone sex and you're having trouble giving him/her what he/she wants, ask yourself what you're really uncomfortable with is it the phone sex or your partner, or both? If it's the phone sex that's the problem, you should be able to talk to your partner openly about your concerns, and together you can work through them. If your partner cares about you, he/she won't try to push you into do something you're uncomfortable with. If you're uncomfortable with your partner, maybe you're just not ready to have phone sex with him/her yet. Maybe you're not sure if you can trust him/her to keep your sessions private; or maybe you're worried that he/she will judge you. If this is the case, it's okay to tell your partner that you'd like to wait until you feel more comfortable. Let your partner know why it's hard for you to enjoy phone sex. If the reason is that you're uncomfortable with your partner, try to find a respectful and non-accusatory way of telling them that. You should be able to have an open and respectful conversation with your partner about any concerns you have. Ideally, your partner will put those concerns to rest! If your partner is more into phone sex than you are, you may be best served by following his/her lead. Instead of being the one to initiate the sexy talk, wait for him/her to ask what you're wearing, to tell you you're sexy, and to talk about what he/she is doing to you. Once you feel more comfortable, you can start talking and initiating more. If your partner knows you're nervous about the experience, then he/she should be okay with letting you follow his/her lead a bit more. If you're in the middle of what's supposed to be a hot and heavy phone session, don't be afraid to let your partner know when you can't think of something to say or when you need a bit more help. Try not to be too apologetic. Saying "sorry" or beating yourself up for not knowing what to say might ruin the mood. Just keep it light and fun. Asking for help isn't a big deal! You might even find a way to ask for help while remaining in the realm of romantic language -- for example, "I'm so turned on right now I can't think straight. Maybe you can guide me?" Other examples of things to say: "I can't think of what to do next...can you take over?" or "My mind just went blank. Keep going and I'll think of something." Even on the phone, foreplay is important: don't go straight from saying hello to saying how turned on you are. Start with sexy small talk, then move on to what you're wearing and how much you wish you were physically together before your conversation gets X-rated. Engaging in small talk before transitioning into the dirtier stuff will not only help you feel more comfortable, it'll build anticipation and make your phone session that much steamier. Just be sure that your small talk is light-hearted don't rant about work or your upcoming school assignments. If your partner is moving faster than you, ask him/her to slow down until you're ready. You can say something like, "I'm just enjoying the sound of your voice right now. Can we wait a little longer before taking our clothes off?" If you feel like you've tried everything and just can't make it work, tell your partner that phone sex is not for you. If your partner wanted you to do something in bed that you didn't want to do, you would tell him/her it wasn't your thing; having phone sex is no different. If your relationship is strong, in the end, it won't matter whether you enjoy phone sex or not. Don't beat yourself up for not being able to get in the mood for phone sex. There are other ways for you and your partner to have a sexy time together, such as talking dirty, stripteases, or role playing in the bedroom.
Summary: Ensure that you're comfortable with your partner. Talk to your partner. Follow your partner's lead. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Give yourselves time to get into a sexy groove. Don't be afraid to admit it if you just can't make it work.

Problem: Article: Cucumbers have lots of nutrients in them that can help soothe and tighten your eyelids. Cut a cold cucumber into slices, and then place a slice on each of your closed eyelids. Leave them there for 15-20 minutes before removing the cucumber slices. Rinse your eyelids off afterwards. Put the tea bags in the refrigerator to get them cold, and then place one on each closed eyelid. Take the chamomile tea bags off after 20-25 minutes. The tea bags will tighten up your eyelids, making your eyes look fresh and bright. For this mask, you'll need 4 teaspoons (20ml) of aloe vera gel, 2 teaspoons (9.9ml) of oatmeal, 4 teaspoons (20ml) of yogurt and 2-4 slices of cucumber. Blend the ingredients together to create a paste, and then leave the mask on your closed eyelids for 10-20 minutes. Rinse the mask off afterwards. You can also split off a piece of an aloe leaf and apply the gel directly to your eyelids. Wait for it to dry for roughly 20 minutes before washing it off. Cold water is great for tightening your skin. Try to rinse your face, especially around your eyes, with cold water frequently. You can use ice cubes to gently rub your eyelids as well. Egg whites are known for improving skin elasticity. Using only the egg whites and not the yolks, dip a cotton ball or Q-tip in the egg white. Once some of the egg white has been absorbed, apply it to your eyelids. You eyes should stay closed the whole time until the egg white has dried and you can rinse it off. Remove any eye makeup beforehand so that this method will work better. If you get egg whites in your eye, rinse your eye out thoroughly with clean water. Because grapes have lots of polyphenols in them that help to reduce inflammation, eating them can help with your droopy eyelids. Eating lots of grapes isn't going to have a huge effect on your asymmetrical eyes, but it can only help. You may have noticed that your eyes feel heavier when you're tired. Getting a good night's rest will improve your skin overall, and should help tighten up the skin around your eyes. A solid 8 hours of sleep each night is recommended.

Cut up slices of cucumber and place them on your eyelids for a soothing remedy. Place chilled chamomile tea bags on your eyelids for their antioxidants. Tighten saggy eyelids using an aloe vera mask.
