Problem: Article: Yogurt has the same kind of "good" bacteria that your vagina needs to stay healthy. You can replenish your body's bacteria by making yogurt part of your daily diet. Eating yogurt is a great way to both prevent and treat yeast infections.  Other foods besides yogurt also help your body in this way. Kimchi, kombucha, and other fermented foods can be substituted for yogurt if you aren't a big fan. Yogurt pills are also available if you'd prefer not to ingest yogurt on a daily basis. Cranberries, pineapples, strawberries, and other fruits help to freshen the smell of the liquids secreted by the vagina. Eating fruits won't exactly make your vagina smell fruity, but it can help you develop a more pleasant scent if that's something you're concerned about. Fruit also has a high water content, and staying hydrated helps flush the body of toxins that can lead to bad smells. Sugar can make a yeast infection worse, so it is important to limit or avoid excess sugar. Don't add sugar to your food, and check labels to identify foods that have added sugars. Also, steer clear of processed carbohydrates and alcohol since these are high in sugar. Garlic has properties that kill yeast, making it an effective tool for preventing and treating yeast infections. Eating cooked or raw garlic a few times a week is a great way to keep your vagina healthy. It has also been said to help get rid of bad vaginal odor. Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and the pubococcygeus muscle. These muscles tend to get looser and weaker with age and after giving birth. Strengthening them can help you avoid issues like urinary incontinence and also increase sexual pleasure. To do kegel exercises, follow these steps:  Locate your pelvic floor muscles. To do this, pretend you are stopping urination in midstream. The muscles you use to stop are the ones you are targeting with kegels. Tighten the muscles and hold for three seconds, then release. Repeat this 15 times. Continue doing kegel exercises daily, holding for longer and adding more repetitions as you gain control. The vagina is also strengthened through sexual activity and pleasure, since sex keeps it toned and elastic. Having regular intercourse is a good way to keep yourself in shape. Focus on tightening and releasing the vagina during sex to exercise the vagina as much as possible.  Try mula bandhas (practiced in yoga) to help strengthen your pelvic floor.  Using a vibrator can help you achieve the same effect. Jade eggs, vaginal cones, ben wa balls and vaginal barbells are also implements designed to exercise the vagina through "weight-lifting" techniques.
Summary: Eat plenty of yogurt. Eat lots of fruit. Cut back on sugar, processed carbohydrates, and alcohol. Eat garlic. Do kegel exercises. Explore other ways to exercise the vagina.

Problem: Article: Ignite your grill and turn the heat to high. Close the lid and give your grill about 10 to 15 minutes to get hot. Scrape the hot grill rack clean with a wire brush. Brush the hot rack of your grill with oil to prevent sticking (optional). Place your patties into the grill and sear on one side for about 3 minutes. Avoid pressing down on your burgers while they are grilling.  You may see flare-ups during cooking. Flare-ups are caused by the burger fat dripping into the flames below. Carefully move your patties to a higher rack or cooler side of the grill until the flames subside. On a gas grill, you will find the cooler areas on higher racks, or along the edges of your grill, away from the flame. Using a metal spatula with a long handle, flip your patties and sear them on the other side to lock in the juices. Continue grilling until you have reached your desired doneness. Here are some guidelines to consider:  Cook for about 3 1/2 minutes for medium-rare. Your burger is done when you reach an internal temperature of 130 to 135° F (55 to 57° C). Cook for 4 minutes for medium. Your burger is done when you reach an internal temperature of 135 to 150° F (57 to 65° C). Cook for 4 minutes or longer for medium well. Your burger is done when you reach an internal temperature of 150 to 165° F (65 to 74° C). Your burger is well done when it's internal temperature reaches 165° F (74° C) or greater.  Serve immediately. Add cheese to your burgers in the last minute or so of the cooking process so the cheese has sufficient time to melt. Toast your buns on a cooler side of the grill or a higher rack during the last minute of grilling. Lightly butter the inside of the buns if desired.
Summary: Preheat your grill. Grill your burgers. Flip your patties.

Problem: Article: Don't settle for just a plain cardboard box. Find a cute box to store your items to give your care package a personal touch. You could, for example, find a box in your partner's favorite color. You could also decorate your own box. If you want to do something really cute, draw hearts on on the surface of your chosen box. In each heart, write something you love about your partner. In addition to decorating the outside of the box, decorate the inside. You could glue strips of attractive fabric along the inside of the box. You could make a photo collage on the bottom of the box. You could also draw on it, decorate it with stickers, or use stencils. Store heavier items on the bottom, so they don't crush smaller, more delicate items. Anything breakable should be wrapped in bubble wrap or something similar. You do not want anything to break on the journey.  If you're sending foods or drinks, make sure the packages are sealed carefully. You don't want anything to leak. You may want to put liquid items in plastic bags just in case they break while shipping. This way, any spills will be contained. Once your package is decorated and packed, you can send it in the mail. Stop by your local post office to purchase proper stamps.  Check for an estimate of when the package will arrive. If you need it there by a certain date, you may have to pay for faster shipping. It's a good idea to get a tracking number. This way, you can track the package's process online and give your partner an idea of when to look for it.
Summary: Find an attractive box. Decorate the interior of the box. Store your items carefully. Mail the package.

Problem: Article: This is very important. It won't do much to give your hair extra volume, but it will protect your hair from heat damage, and prevent it from turning brittle and dry. Be sure to focus the heat protectant on the ends of your hair, which tend to get damaged the easiest. Plan on straightening your hair in at least three layers. If you have very thick hair, or just a lot of it, you will have to work in thinner sections. Take a small, 1 to 2-inch (2.54 to 5.08-centimeter) section of hair, and clamp your iron over it, as close as you can to your scalp without burning yourself. Instead of pulling the iron straight down, pull it upwards towards the ceiling by a few inches/centimeters. When you get halfway across your hair, pull the iron away from your head. Pulling the iron upwards helps create volume, while pulling it away makes it easier on your arm. If your hair is too hot for you to touch, use a hairbrush to handle it. It might also be a good sign that your hair straightener is set to too high of a temperature; you might want to lower the temperature a little. Once you are done, you can move on to the next layer, or gently tease your hair first. If you choose to tease your hair, give it a quick spray with a flexible hairspray to set the style while allowing movement and flow. Always work in layers and small sections. Remember, the thicker your hair is, the more layers you will have to work with. Run your fingers upwards through your hair, starting at the roots. This will give your hair that final lift it needs. If you want to, give your hair a spray with some texturizing hairspray.
Summary:
Apply heat protectant to your hair. Pull the top half of your hair up into a bun. Start with a small section of hair, close to your hair line. Pull the iron upwards and away. Finish straightening the rest of bottom layer in a similar fashion. Continue straightening the rest of your hair. Finish off by running your hands through your hair.
