Colds are extremely annoying. So, I am going to be showing you all a few ways how to get rid of your cold quicker.
1. Fruits and vegetables
2. Exercise
3. Stay warm
4. Get lots of sleep
5. Hydrate yourself!
6. Clear your sinuses
Boil water and add essential oils into a bowl. Hover your head on top of the bowl and place a towel on top of your head. This helps a lot.

Spring Cleaning
How to:
1.Blast
your favorite tunes
The best
way to do this is to create a playlist so your favorite songs can be playing
non-stop, so that way you won’t be needing to pause your cleaning and go back
to your phone every 4-ish minutes.
2.Keep in
mind the final result
I know it
may seem hard in the process of cleaning but just think about the end result
and the satisfaction you will get when everything is all clean.
Here is a
checklist that could help you with the actual cleaning process
Tips:
1.Wash
your windows on a cloudy day
When it is
a sunny, most likely hot day, the sun can dry the cleaner on your window before
you wipe it away. Cleaning your windows on a cloudy day will prevent such thing
from happening.
2.Getting
rid of carpet dents
We all
know those annoying dents we get from heavy items on our carpets that we
discover when we move those items. A tip to get rid of this, it to place ice
cubes on the dented areas. Apparently the water swells the fibers making your
carpet normal once again.
Let
everyone know if you have a good tip or how to for spring cleaning. I have only
included a few, but there is so much more you can do.

How to: Save Money
Money is almost always on everyone's mind. It is something very important. So if you are saving up, or running out, here are some tips to help you save your money.
1. Save the Tip
I know sometimes when you are given a few coins of change it is annoying to carry around, but, if you keep collecting your tips overtime, you will be surprised by how many coins you have. And then, you can sort your coins into money!
2. Use Money Instead of a Credit Card
I know purchasing with a credit card is soooo much easier. But, with some cards, when you get the bill, you have to pay the company a little bit extra. If you pay with money, it may be a bit of a hassle, but in the end, so much more worth it.
3. Only Buy Things you Need
Everyone has been there where they see a cute shirt, buy it, and then never wear it. So if all of your clothes are too small for you, then it's time to go shopping. Same thing for food. You want to buy that pack of gum, but instead you really need dinner for tonight. And basically the same goes for everything. You may want that cute lamp from target, but you really need laundry detergent.
4. Plan, Plan, Plan
There are so many things you could plan to save money for. For example, you could plan your meals for the week and only go to the store to buy ingredients for those meals. You could plan how much money you spend for different categories. Such as clothing, food, etc.
5. Minimize the Water and Electricity
This really only applies if you own a house or apartment and have a water and electricity bill. If there is a nice day, open all your windows and let the light in. Only take a shower if you need to or go check out a previous post on How to: Make your Shower Time Shorter. I know this may seem gross, but if you are going pee, don't flush after because flushing uses lots of water. So I recommend flushing after a few times of going pee to save water.
I hope you found these tips helpful. Let everyone know in the comments if you know other ways of how to save money. Now save up and go get what you want (treat yo self... Only once in a while).
Happy Saving,
-Caroline

- step in the shower and wash off soap and face wash and rinse hair while the water warms up.
- Then apply shampoo and conditioner as usual
I hope you all enjoyed this post and found these tips helpful.

How to: Avoid Stains and Wash them
Period stains are so annoying. Whether you get them while you sleep, overflow, or get a surprise. So today, I am going to be helping you all with ways to avoid your stains or wash them out. In a past post, I talked about knowing when your period is going to arrive, instead of being surprised by it. Go check it out: How to: Keep Track of your Period
Avoiding Stains:
Proper Tampon Wear:
When wearing a tampon, it is important to be wearing a pad with your tampon. Sometimes people wear just a tampon without anything on the underwear and they end up staining their underwear.
A panty liner can be good sometimes if it is a light day. If you are on a heavy day with a tampon and a panty liner, things don't usually end well.
With a pad, if you bleed through your whole tampon, there will still be a large enough absorbent surface to catch your blood.
Also it is a good idea to change your tampon every few hours instead of every 7-8 hours.
Pads for Nighttime:
I recommend getting some of the pads that are extra long and absorbent for the night. But the price of all those period products does add up.
An alternative to this, is using a regular pad but using panty liners to create an extension of your normal pad. This will act as the extra extension on the night pad but created with things you already have. 2 normal pads could work too, but it's a bit more wasteful.
Washing your Stained Clothing:
Soap:
Using soap to wash out stains is most likely the cheapest option. Although, this method works best when the stain is "fresh", instead of a stain that is a few days or weeks old.
1. Wet the area of the stain
2. Add soap to the stained area
3. Rub intensely and occasionally wash the area and add more soap if needed
Stain Remover:
There are those stain remover sticks and I have found them quite effective. Follow the instructions on the stick and this should work well. I have not used this method in a really long time so I don't really remember how it works. If you use this method, it would be nice if you commented below to let others know how it works.
Bleach:
This only works for white things and I would only recommend doing this method for white pants and I wouldn't really recommend doing it for your underwear. I have never trued this method before but I have seen my parents use bleach to get stains out of white shirts. So it should work right? I would ask an adult about using bleach and please be careful with it.
I hope you all enjoyed this post and found this week of posting everyday so far to be useful. Come back tomorrow at 12:00pm EST for another period post. Let me know of any topics you want to cover and I can write a post about them in the future.
Have a wonderful day,

How to: Keep Track of your Period
Hey Ladies! If you are struggling with that time of the month right now, just did, are are about to, I am here to help. I am going to bless your soul with 7 days of posting of ways to help with your period. If your a guy, these posts will most likely be of no interest for you, sorry! 😐
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So really whenever you have your period, mark on your calendar with a little symbol like a red dot or start for each day. Then your period happens every 30-ish days. (it depends on each person) so count 30 days into the future and expect your period to come around that time. So to be ready, a few days before, start wearing pads or pantie liners so if your period comes before 30 days you will be ready.
Also your period should last for about 7 days. If you think that your period has ended before 7 days, continue wearing a pad or something. The majority of the period disaster stories I hear are that someone thought their period was over and then they got surprised.
I'm sorry this post is pretty short. I mean there is nothing much to elaborate on when it comes to just being prepared and keeping track of your period. Come back again tomorrow for another exciting post!!

How to: Make you tumblr feed Look Amazing
If you have viewed my blog posts for a while, you know I love my aesthetically pleasing tumblr feeds. Since it is a new year, I want to make my feed look even better. And maybe you do too. If you are like me, I seem to be looking at pretty much the same topics like: summer, beach, tumblr photography, winter, etc. And after a while, you see the same thing over and over again.
Maybe the key is to look other places than just tumblr. For example, try searching tumblr on Pinterest. Or maybe on google. I come across some great pictures there where I think "wow. that would look great with my feed."
So what to do? Screenshot that picture and post it to your tumblr.
Screenshotting a picture on Pinterest:
1. Find the picture you like
2. Click on the picture to enlarge it
3. Right click on the photo and choose the option "Open image in new tab"
4. And there you go! Now you can screenshot the picture with no problem.
How to post a picture on tumblr:
1. Go to tumblr
https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard
2. Find the icon that looks like a pencil
3. Click on it and select which option you want (in this case, photo)
4. Add your picture and post!
I hope you all enjoyed this post. I would love to see your tumblr feeds so feel free to tweet me a picture on twitter at @chicslifestyle. Next week's post as usual is coming out at 12:00pm EST on Sunday so stay tuned! (http://everytimezone.com/) I hope you all have a wonderful day or night whenever this is being read.

How to: Stay Calm and Positive
I know school is almost here and stress rises with balancing homework, sports, or extra curricular activities. Today, I am here to help you all deal with your stress (and my own stress). Yes, this is part of the back to school series. Unfortunately, with back to school comes stress, I am here to help. Also, we need a name for our back to school series. Comment below some name suggestions.
I think the main source of stress is homework levels. Sometimes when you look at your agenda book and see basically no empty spaces, your brain is going to start yelling, "TOO MUCH TO DO SO LITTLE TIME!!!! TIME TO FREAK OUT!!!" To be honest, this is me. First, take a few deep breaths. In my last post, I showed you all how to prepare your room for back to school. If you did any of these things, then they will come handy here. Maybe looking at your inspiration board will help you get to your goal, even if it is completely unrelated to school. Maybe over the summer on the plane, or a long car ride, you completed some coloring sheets (also from a past post. Here is the link to the website I introduced Everything Etsy). Maybe you put those on your inspiration board.
Now that you have looked at your inspiration board for motivation, maybe stress relieving, lets break down your crammed assignment notebook. I created a Homework Organizer for you all. Let me break it down for you. The first column is the subject (I added a few extra rows for elective hw and languages), the second column is the assignment, the fourth is the date due, the fifth is the priority, and the sixth is notes. For the fifth column, priority, sometimes somethings are due the next day, or you don't have that class tomorrow, or you have a project that isn't due tomorrow. So you would rate it 1 being most urgent and 5 being least urgent. The sixth column notes, is for those teachers who assign you a project not due in a while, but they tell you to start it right away anyway. Or those teachers who announce you have a test soon or sometime.
Next in my back to school room post, I said that it is nice to have a calendar to plan all your tests and projects and assignments. So grab a calendar, whether you already have one or you can make you own on google docs, or by one. Get a cheap calendar though!
And then get working!! Come on you don't have much time, you still want to be able to get a good amount of sleep. I hope you all enjoyed this post and found it helpful, comment below what our back to school series should be named. Also comment below when you are going back to school. I am going back on August 31. New posts every Sunday, and good luck with school.
