First, finely slice two chipotle peppers, if not already sliced, into thin strips. Place that in a small mixing bowl. Then add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, ½ teaspoon of dried oregano, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until they are evenly mixed.  For extra spice, be generous with the amount of adobo sauce you include from the chipotle peppers’ can. To reduce spice, pat the peppers with paper towels to remove as much sauce as possible. Put 4 chicken thighs or 3 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless) into a large sealable freezer bag. Then pour in the marinade. Seal the bag shut. Hold it by two corners and flip the bag over and over to soak the chicken. Then put the bag in the refrigerator and leave for one hour so the marinade soaks into the meat. Set your indoor or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (roughly 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 204 Celsius). Once it reaches the desired temperature, set your chicken on the grill. Cook each side for five to six minutes. The Food and Drug Administration advises cooking chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) before consuming. Use a meat thermometer to verify each piece is safe to eat. Once the chicken has cooked, remove it from heat. Let it sit for about ten minutes so it can be safely handled without burning yourself. Once it’s cool enough to touch, cut each piece into bite-sized portions.

Sometimes, overflow happens. In fact, it’s happened to most at one time or another. If you bleed through onto your sheets at night, rinse the sheets in cold water and then immediately put them into the wash. If you bleed into your underwear, you can try washing them (separately or with dark colors), or just throw them away at the end of the day. Worst case scenario is that you bleed into your pants or skirt – do what you can to get through the day by tying a sweater around your waist or, if you must, going home early. Shower, change, and move on with your day stress-free. Talk about your accident with someone you trust. Remember that 50% of the world has dealt with periods – it’s likely that someone you know has had an overflow accident, too. Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed to talk about it and how you feel. If you’ve experienced overflow bleeding, be prepared for next time. When you’re on your period, wear black underwear and pants. If you do have some spotting, it won’t be noticeable. You can even set aside a set of dark undies to wear only when you’re on your period. Using more than one type of menstrual hygiene product can be really effective in minimizing overflow bleeding. If you sometimes bleed through your tampons, use a panty liner or pad, too. That way you have some backup in case you don’t get to change your tampon in time. THINX period panties can also be a good backup method to a cup or tampon. THINX are made so that you can bleed right into them, then wash them out and reuse them. They hold anywhere from ½ to 2 or 3 tampons worth of blood depending on the style, and are available to purchase online. Get used to “checking on things” every hour or two. Make a quick bathroom stop in between classes or as a short work break. Check your underwear and pad, and do a wipe test if you’re using a tampon – if there’s blood on the toilet tissue after you urinate, you may be about to bleed through your tampon. Put a dark towel down on your sheets while you sleep to protect your bedding and mattress from accidental leaking. You can also try using overnight pads that have wings; these offer more protection from spillage.

Find a lunch box or bag that’s large enough to hold the food you usually pack. Keep the lunch box in a fridge to keep your food cold until lunchtime. When you’re finished eating, make sure to bring your box back home to use the next day.  Look for an insulated lunch box if you need to keep food hot or cold. If you don’t have an insulated lunch box or access to a fridge, put a reusable ice pack in your lunch box to keep it cold. Steel lunch boxes are great alternatives if you want to avoid using plastic or other packing containers. Lunch boxes are sold in many stores throughout the year, but more designs will be available during the late summer when back to school shopping occurs. If you need to use a brown paper bag, be sure to recycle it when you’re finished. Avoid using plastic bags to store your food. Use portion-sized containers to reduce the amount of space you use inside your lunch box. When you’re finished with your lunch, put the containers back in your lunch box so you can wash them at home.  Reusable containers also help you save money since you don’t have to keep buying plastic storage bags. Bento boxes are reusable containers with multiple compartments so you can store many kinds of food in one easy to carry package. Fill a hard plastic bottle with your preferred drink rather than buying single-serve bottles. Add a few ice cubes to keep your drink cold. When you’re finished with your drink, you can rinse it out and fill it with water throughout the day. Wash your bottle each night to use again the next day.  Keep hot drinks, or even soup, in a Thermos to keep them piping hot. Wide-mouthed bottles make it easier to wash the insides and add ice cubes. Avoid using juice boxes or pouches since these create a lot of waste. Pour juice from a large bottle at home into a reusable bottle or mason jar to bring with your lunch. Bring a fork, knife, and spoon with you from home so you don’t have to use disposable plastic silverware. When you’ve finished your lunch, rinse off any food scraps before putting the silverware back in your box. Wash the silverware at home so you can easily use it again. You only have to bring the silverware you are going to use for your meal. Paper waste accounts for 15% of food waste. Keep a tea towel or cloth in your lunch box until it gets dirty. When the cloth gets dirty, take it home and wash it with the rest of your laundry. Keep multiple cloth napkins in your home so you have an easy replacement if one gets dirty before you need to do laundry.
