Problem: Article: If your snow is too fluffy or powdery, you will not be able to make a snowman. Go out to the snow and scoop some up between both of your hands. Press it together, and if it forms into a ball, you'll be able to make a snowman. If the snow falls apart, it's no good for making a snowman. If you are determined, you can mix some water into the powdery snow as you roll it up, but this is not guaranteed to work. If you build your snowman on a slope, it may topple over. You also don't want to build on asphalt or cement because those store more heat, and your snowman might get in the way of you driving or walking. Make sure the area has enough snow for you to use, as well. If you want your snowman to last as long as possible without melting, build it somewhere that doesn't get much direct sunlight. If there's a big shady tree near you, that's a great spot. Making the snowman close to a building also provides shade for some of the day. This is just to help the snowman last longer. If you don't have much shade around, that's okay.
Summary: Check for snow that's moist and packable. Find a flat section of lawn. Build the snowman in the shade.

Problem: Article: In the 1980s, it was almost impossible to find a jacket, blouse or dress without shoulder pads -- and even if you could, you would probably put them in yourself, perhaps layering one set on top of the other! Shoulder pads give you a boxy, square-shouldered silhouette, which is perfect for making a statement in business attire or evening wear. Over-sized tops were everywhere in the 80s. Try a massive, off-the-shoulder sweatshirt, a giant t-shirt worn over leggings, or a brightly-colored sweater cinched in at the waist with a gaudy belt. Over-sized tops are also really easy to get.Just buy a top that's several sizes too big, or shop in the men's section! If you're having trouble finding a good 80s belt, consider just making a belt yourself. Stirrup pants were one of the more unfortunate 80s trends. Usually made from a stretchy fabric, these pants had an elastic "stirrup" that hooked around the underside of the foot, pulling the pants down and creating an unflattering, triangle-shaped leg. However, if you really want to commit to 80s fashion, these are the way to go! The mini skirt came to the forefront of fashion in the 80s and has never really left. Look for skintight skirts in materials like denim, PVC and cotton and pair them with an over-sized, off the shoulder t-shirt (tucked into the skirt) and some legwarmers for true 80s fashion cred. Jelly shoes were an 80s staple. Made from PVC and available in a wide variety of styles and colors (some were even glitter-infused), jelly shoes are the perfect accompaniment to any 80s outfit. This cheap and cheerful footwear has been making a comeback in recent years, so you you shouldn't have any trouble finding them.
Summary: Find clothes with shoulder pads. Look for over-sized tops. Try stirrup pants. Wear mini skirts. Rock some jelly shoes.

Problem: Article: Visit a sporting goods store where you can be fitted for the right sized backpack by a professional. Be sure the backpack has two wide, supportive shoulder straps, and sufficient back and strap padding. Adjust the straps so that the backpack lays flat against your back. Both straps should be worn at the same time, to distribute the weight of the pack evenly. Chest and waist straps are available for additional support, if needed. Consider good materials and construction. A high-quality backpack can go a long way towards fit and comfort throughout the day. Higher quality also means longer lasting backpacks. Invest in features like breathable or ultralight fabric. Some packs have waterproof or water-resistant materials to protect against rain. These materials will help lessen the weight of your pack in the long-run. Features like handles and rolling wheels are common, but they may add on extra weight. Remove anything outdated, any trash, and anything else that isn't a part of your routine. Cleaning and organizing your backpack is one of the easiest things you can do to lighten your pack that will show you immediate results. Be sure to ask your teacher if electronics are allowed in the classroom. Consider which textbooks could be swapped out for e-books. Electronic notes and planners are also options, and will save space in your backpack. Consider carrying travel-sized items or condensing a bulky makeup bag down to just the basics. Bring only one or two back-up pencils, pens, and highlighters, instead of a large bag of writing supplies. Use your locker if you have one! If you don't, consider if you have any alternatives, such as a personal gym locker or your car, if you drive to school. Review your schedule, and store heavy textbooks or binders in your locker when they're not needed. Stop by your locker between classes or as often as possible.
Summary: Find the right fit for your body. Invest in a well-fitting, high-quality backpack. Consider special features, like lightweight and breathable materials. Take everything out of your pack, once a week. Use e-books and electronic planners, if allowed. Cut down on personal supplies and writing utensils. Use your locker or available storage.

Problem: Article: After you've covered the entire cake with white frosting, use the pink and blue frosting to garnish the cake. Pipe it on in whatever shapes you like, such as flowers, dots, or stars. If you don't have a piping bag, you can put the frosting in plastic bags, snip off the corner, and pipe simple dots and swirls with it. You can also use blue and pink chocolate candies to decorate the cake.
Summary:
Decorate the cake with the pink and blue frosting.
