A few days before you plan on wearing a bikini, reduce the amount of carbs and salty foods you take in, such as frozen meals and processed foods. Also, try not to eat gas-producing vegetables such as onions, beans, and broccoli, which may bloat your gut. Instead, try eating cooked spinach, celery, asparagus, and tomatoes, which may actually help you lose water weight because they are diuretics. Keeping your body hydrated will not only make your skin look great, but it will prevent water retention that leads to bloating. Drinking water can stimulate your body to release fluids that will create a thinner appearance. You should be drinking at least eight glasses of water each day to stay hydrated, but more if you are sweating or performing physical activities. If you find it hard to drink plain water all day, liven up your drink with a slice of cucumber, a few blueberries, or a lemon. The day before you go swimming, be sure to shave your legs, armpits, and especially your bikini area. Shaving the day before may help prevent stinging if you will be going into a chlorine pool or hot tub. Always shave with shaving cream and a sharp razor that has a moisturizing strip to help prevent razor burn. Opt for a professional to give you a bikini wax a week before you plan to be in a bikini to remove all signs of hair. These treatments can be expensive, but they will keep you hairless for your bikini. Whether you do yoga, go jogging, or lift at the gym, find a way to get your heart pumping. Cardio workouts are one of the best ways to shed the pounds to prep for bathing suit season. Exercising is not only good for the outside of your body, but it is vital for your heart to stay healthy. So find an activity that you love and gets your body moving so you can look and feel your best.

For this, you want to use your drawing showing the side of your balsa bridge. This will be your guide for piecing your bridge together. Use pieces of masking tape to tack down the drawing of the side of your bridge. Cut a piece of sheer parchment paper larger than the foam board. Tuck its edges around the back of the board and tape them. The parchment paper keeps glue off of your drawing and allows you to use it to create both sides of your bridge. You can use the measurements on your drawings or just use the drawings as a template to mark each measurement with a pencil. Cutting your own strips from sheets will save you money. Use your woodcutter in conjunction with a straight edge. Make sure to account for all the pieces you'll need: truss pieces, lateral bracing, and the roadway. After you've cut all your pieces, organize them into piles based on which part of your bridge they represent. Make two piles for your sides, separate your lateral bracing pieces, and set aside your roadway.

When meeting someone in a professional context, try to keep it work-related and professional at first. You might not want to get buddy-buddy with them upfront as this might look and feel unprofessional, especially if you're in a professional setting. Talk about work and any things you have in common. For example, you can say, "We're on the same project together. Hi, I'm Trevor." If you know that the person is an expert in an area that you'd like to know more about, ask them for information or helpful tips. Most people enjoy sharing their knowledge with others, and are pleased when people take an interest in what they do. For example, you might say, "Wow, you really know a lot about photo editing. Can you recommend some good software for a beginner?" There are certain topics that are rude or distasteful to bring up with a stranger, especially in a professional context. For example, don't go up to a woman and remark on her pregnancy. Stay away from political affiliation, religion, appearance (including weight), or overly personal disclosures (like that you're getting a divorce or that your uncle just died). Keep conversations neutral and not controversial. Choose neutral topics of interest, such as work-related events, conferences, and mutual friends.
