Although exercise might be the last thing on your mind during your period, moving a little might help reduce your cramps. Try doing some light yoga or stretching.

You’re usually able to tell if it’s ripe right when you try to cut into it—the skin and fruit should be super soft and easy to cut if it’s ripe. Another way to tell if the pawpaw is ripe is to press on the skin and see if it gives. If it doesn’t, it hasn’t ripened.  If the skin is tough and you’re not having an easy time trying to slice it open, it’s likely not ripe yet. Pawpaws give off a fruity aroma when they're ripe. Pawpaws can differ in color depending on the specific type, so relying on color to determine if the fruit is ripe isn't your best bet. By putting the pawpaw in the fridge for a few hours before slicing it, the pulp will have an easier time separating from the skin. The seeds should be able to more easily pop out as well. You can store pawpaws in the fridge for about 2 days, making it easy to pull one out whenever you'd like to cut it open. You can either use a sharp knife to try to slice the pawpaw completely apart lengthwise, or you can cut around the skin and then pull it apart like you would an avocado. This leaves you with 2 open halves, ready to be eaten once you remove the seeds.  Use a spoon to scoop out the fruit inside of the skin and eat it. Try to remove the seeds right after you cut it, as they're not edible. The halved fruit creates a great bowl, making eating right out of the skin super easy. The slices can be however thick you’d like, but a thickness of at least 1 centimetre (0.39 in) is recommended because the seeds will be in between the slices. Use a sharp knife to make each slice, and eat the slices after removing the seeds and skin.  You can remove the skin by creating a cut in the skin and then peeling it off all the way around the slice. Slice the pawpaw like you would cut up a banana. Pawpaw seeds are rather large, dark seeds that aren’t edible. Once you cut the pawpaw, you’ll be able to easily see the seeds to remove them. You can do this using a spoon or knife, or, if the fruit is chilled, the seeds are likely to pop out easily. A pawpaw seed is roughly the size of a large pill, making it difficult for you to swallow one accidentally. Use a large spoon to scoop the insides of the pawpaw into a bowl. You can either use this pulp in a recipe, eat it raw, or store it in a bag in the freezer to enjoy later.  Pawpaws will only last a couple of days before going bad, which is why they should be frozen for up to a year if you’d like to keep them fresh for longer than 2 days. If you're going to eat the pawpaw within the next day or two, store it in the fridge in an air-tight container. Use a spoon to eat the frozen pawpaw as you would eat ice cream. Freeze the pawpaw in 2–4  c (470–950 ml) increments to make serving it easier.

Summary: Check to make sure the pawpaw is ripe. Chill the fruit beforehand to make cutting and peeling it easier. Slice the fruit in half lengthwise for a quick, tasty treat. Cut the pawpaw crosswise if you'd rather eat it in slices. Remove and discard the seeds. Scoop the pulp out and freeze it, if desired.

Made from real calf leather, Prada leather bags should be supple and smooth. If the leather is stiff or unbending, it’s likely a fake. The interior will either be embossed jacquard nylon fabric or nappa leather. The fabric will have a pattern that alternates a line printed with Prada and a line of rope motif. Every other line with the Prada logo will be printed upside down. Real Prada bags should not have stitching that is crooked, uneven, or sloppy. The stitches will be small and sturdy. If they're frayed in any areas, that’s a sure sign the bag is a fake.  On a leather bag, the stitches should match the color of the leather. Designer bags almost never have seams that are glued.
Summary: Run your hand over a leather bag to see if it’s soft to the touch. Check that the interior fabric is high quality and has the Prada pattern. Look for clean stitching along the seams.
