For women, that means skirts that cover the widest part of your thigh and hit 4-5 fingers above the knee. For men, that means dark washed jeans that fit you properly in the waist and are a slim fit.  Avoid overly baggy clothing as this can actually make your entire body, including your thighs, look bigger.  It's a good idea to also avoid low-waist skirts that shorten your legs and make your thighs look larger, as well as mid-calf skirts as they can look matronly or frumpy. This means purchasing clothing that is not too tight or too loose and is styled or cut in a way that slims your larger lower body.  For women, clothing like wrap dresses and A-line dresses work to slim your thigh area and still look good.  Avoid tight fitting dresses made of material that are too body hugging like lycra, nylon, and satin. Dark colors always seem to make everyone look slim.  However, don't be afraid to wear prints, especially printed tops that draw attention away from your legs and thighs.  If you are petite and larger in the lower body area, avoid very bold or large prints as these can overwhelm your look. Opt for the more detailed or printed garments to be skirts or pants. Avoid horizontal stripes as they can make you look wider and draw the eyes side to side, right onto your thighs. Go for tops, skirts, and dresses with vertical stripes as they draw the eye up and down. The whiskering on the thigh area of the jeans will only draw attention to your thighs. As well, go for dark wash jeans that fit you well rather than capris or short shorts that will only accentuate your thighs rather than slim them down.

Summary: Go for bottoms that cover your thighs. Invest in clothing that will slim your lower body. Stick to dark colors. Avoid whiskered jeans.


A saline nasal spray helps to clear your nasal passages of mucus, and to moisturize your nasal passages. Use the spray as directed, and be patient. The first couple of uses may be helpful, but it will likely take repeated uses to get the full benefit. A neti-pot is a device that resembles a small teapot. Used correctly, a neti-pot flushes out mucus and trapped irritants, and moisturizes your sinus passages.  The device works by putting saline or distilled water in one nostril and allowing it to drain out the other, removing unwanted irritants and germs, and provides a moisturizing and soothing effect to the sinuses. A neti-pot can be purchased inexpensively over-the-counter. Talk to your doctor before taking over-the-counter products if you have existing medical conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, and glaucoma. Products like these can be helpful, but they don’t work for everyone.  Oral decongestants contain the active ingredients phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine. The more common side effects caused by these products include nervousness, dizziness, feeling that your heart rate is increased, slight elevations in blood pressure, and sleep problems.  Oral decongestants work by narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages, helping the swollen tissues to shrink. This improves the flow of mucus to reduce the pressure and the flow of air so you can breathe easier.  Products that contain pseudoephedrine, originally marketed as Sudafed®, can be purchased without a prescription but are kept behind the pharmacy counter due to concerns about inappropriate use.  You will be asked to provide identification, like a driver’s license, and your purchase will be recorded. This is only done for your safety to control the illegal use of pseudoephedrine. Decongestant nasal sprays or drops are also available over-the-counter but should be used with caution. While these products can help to clear sinus passages and relieve the pressure quickly, using them for more than 3 days results in a rebound effect. A rebound effect means that your body adjusts to the medications being used, and the congestion and pressure returns, or is possibly worse than before, when you try to stop using them. Limiting their use to no more than 3 days prevents that rebound effect. Sinusitis, or sinus pressure and congestion, can be caused by allergies. Taking an over-the-counter antihistamine, such as Claritin®, Zyrtec®, or their generic equivalents, can help to control the allergic response and relieve the symptoms you are experiencing. Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen may help to reduce the discomfort associated with the sinus pressure. Taking ibuprofen or naproxen may also help to reduce some of the inflammation in the nasal passages. Other symptoms that may be helped by over-the-counter pain medications include the associated headache, and discomfort often described as an ache in the teeth.

Summary: Use a saline nasal spray. Get a neti-pot. Take oral decongestants. Use a medicated nasal spray. Take an oral antihistamine product if your sinus pressure is caused by allergies. Take over-the-counter pain medications.


Depending on the size of your collection, you can opt for simple plastic drawer sets that only have a few drawers to more elaborate cabinets with many drawers that are usually used to hold crafting or hardware supplies.  As with the plastic bins, storage cabinets that feature clear drawers are the best option because you can easily see what LEGO pieces are inside. Look for drawer systems that provide different size drawers, so you can easily organize your collection based on the size of the pieces. In order to maximize your space, it may make sense to store multiple types of LEGO bricks and pieces in a single drawer. To prevent them from becoming mixed up, it helps to have a drawer organizer with different compartments, so you can separate the pieces based on your chosen sorting system. Drawer organizers are available at office and home supply stores. They come in a variety of sizes, and some are even customizable, so you can create the ideal storage for your LEGOs. Even if your storage cabinet has drawers made of clear plastic, it’s a good idea to label them with the contents, so you don’t have to go searching for a certain piece in the middle of a build. For the most organized collection, be as specific as possible when creating the labels. A label maker is obviously ideal for creating labels for your drawers, but you also easily create custom labels on your computer as well.

Summary: Purchase a storage cabinet or drawer system. Add drawer organizers. Label your drawers.
