You don't have to walk around in a three-piece suit everyday. Still, if your clothes are dirty or wrinkled, your look will tell the world "I don't care about my appearance." Go for quality over quantity. It's better to have fewer clothes that fit right, look nice, and will last than to have a closet full of cheap clothes that will wear out fast. You can often find designer clothes at affordable prices by looking at outlets and factory stores. Shop online to get even better deals and sales. You don't have to completely re-do your wardrobe, but make sure anything you wear is clean and wrinkle-free. There's nothing wrong with wearing a t-shirt and jeans when you're hanging around the house. Out in public, however, a classy guy is expected to wear something slightly more upscale. If you aren't sure what to go for, stick to white and blue button-down shirts or polos and well-fitting slacks or khakis. You can even take everyday clothes and class them up. For instance, if you have a graphic tee you love to wear with jeans, throw on a simple blazer over it. Get a decent pair of semi-casual shoes to wear rather than sneakers or sandals. If you're going to an event that is at all formal, you can't go wrong with a suit. Buying a suit off the rack is just fine, as long as it fits well. Take it to an alteration shop if you need to make any adjustments. Stick to gray or dark blue suits for most occasions. Black suits are usually for very formal or solemn occasions. Brightly-colored suits should be avoided. Wear simple ties with your suit. Avoid obnoxious colors or prints. Things like a nice watch, a scarf, or a hat (something other than a baseball cap) will instantly signal your classiness. You don't have to go overboard on these, either. With watches, for instance, just get a nice looking one with a metal or leather band. It does not need to be diamond-encrusted or solid platinum! Have fun with accessories, since they're a way to show your personal style while still looking classy. For instance, you could throw on a belt with a distinctive buckle, or wear fun socks to add a little flair.

Summary: Wear clean, neat clothes. Dress to impress. Get a well-fitting suit for formal occasions. Accessorize to complete your look.

Before applying a cleaner, give your couch a good vacuuming. This will remove any crumbs or debris stuck in your couch's nooks and crannies. You can use the detachable upholstery brush, if your vacuum has one, to vacuum up things like pet hair, dirt, and debris. Make sure to get into hard to reach places, like between the cushions. If you do not have a vacuum cleaner, use a foxtail brush to sweep dirt and debris off your couch. Take your chosen cleaner. If it is not already in a spray bottle, pour it into a spray bottle. Spritz down the surface of your couch with the cleaner. Get the couch damp. If you're only spot cleaning, only spritz your cleaner on spoiled or stained areas. Once your cleaner is on, take a take a clean cloth. Blot or rub the cleaner into your couch. Target areas that are stained or soiled, blotting or rubbing the stains gently until they come off. Most couch cleaners do not need to be rinsed off. You simply blot them into the fabric. If your cleaner needs rinsing, however, refer to the instructions on the package for directions. Cleaners can make polyester couches feel a little stiff after cleaning. If your couch is stiff after cleaning, take a soft-bristled brush and gently rub it against the fabric after the cleaning solution has dried. This should give your fabric a soft, fluffy texture.

Summary: Vacuum a couch and remove any crumbs. Spray down your couch with your cleaner. Blot down the couch. Fluff the couch when you're done.

Proper hydration can help mucus stay loose and not get caught in your throat as easily. Aim for about 8 glasses of water a day, although if you're sick with a cold you may need to drink slightly more than this as you'll be producing more mucus. Water keeps your throat lubricated, which reduces phlegm production. Drink water with meals instead of other beverages and have a bottle of water nearby while you're at work or relaxing at home and sip on it periodically. Smoking not only results in a litany of other health problems, it's very bad for your throat. Not only does smoke irritate the vocal folds, tobacco use makes you more susceptible to infections resulting in more colds and flus and therefore more mucus. Ditch the cigarettes while trying to clear out your throat and look into plans for quitting long term. If you have phlegm stuck in your throat, alcohol and carbonation should be avoided. Carbonated beverages, even carbonated waters, can irritate the throat and create unnecessary phlegm. Alcohol not only irritates existing phlegm, it lowers the immune system which can prolong your cold or flu, meaning your throat will take longer to clear out.
Summary: Drink plenty of water. Do not smoke. Drink alcohol and soft drinks in moderation.
