Article: If you'd like to sell your diamond jewelry in a hurry, this is probably your best bet. Check out your potential buyer's Better Business Bureau ratings or find out if they are registered members of a gem society that promotes ethical practices (like the American Gem Society). While selling your diamonds to a dealer is a quick and easy option, you are unlikely to get the best price this way. Jewelry dealers will want to resell your piece, and will probably need to pay less than market value in order to make a profit. Consignment dealers tend to offer better prices than other jewelry dealers. Rather than buying your diamonds from you, they will sell your piece for you and take a percentage of the sale price. So the higher the price they manage to get for you, the more money they make.  Look for a consignment dealer who specializes in gems or estate jewelry. Make sure you find a dealer with good references and reviews. Selling through a consignment dealer usually involves handing your jewelry over to the dealer so that they can sell it for you, so you need to find someone you can trust. Most consignment dealers will take a 25-40% commission on whatever price they get for your diamond. People who buy gems and jewelry for personal use are likely to offer better prices than dealers and industry insiders. There are a number of options for selling your diamonds directly to public buyers online, including auction sites like eBay, general online classifieds sites like Craigslist, craft sites like Etsy, or specialist sites like I Do…Now I Don't.  Some sites will take a commission on the sale of your jewelry, or charge a small fee for listing your item. Make sure you review and understand each site's policies before deciding where to sell your diamonds. If you'd rather not sell your diamonds online, consider selling them through the classifieds section in your local newspaper.

Article: Make sure that you breathe continuously while exercising. If you hold your breath while exercising, you'll develop a cramp within a few minutes. As long as you provide enough oxygen for your body, then you'll prevent this type of cramp.  If you develop a cramp in your side, you are not breathing deeply enough to provide oxygen to your diaphragm. When you inhale, fill your lungs all the way to the bottom. Think of it as drawing air into your stomach rather than your chest. Your lungs are deep! Take deep and complete breaths. Quick, shallow breaths do not fill your lungs all the way and can also cause you to become lightheaded. If you are having trouble taking deep breaths, slow down your pace for a few moments while your lungs catch up. Always provide your body with enough water, especially if you're sweating. When you sweat, you lose salt and water, which can throw off the balance of electrolytes and salt in your body. This causes your cells to swell, which causes calcium to stick to them, making the muscle contraction remain. You can prevent this by drinking enough water. Take regular water breaks, especially if you are doing a high-intensity workout.  It is crucial to continue hydrating after you exercise. Don't overdo it, but keep a water bottle handy for a few hours after your workout. Take care not to drink too much water. Studies have shown that drinking water when you feel thirsty is a reliable way to hydrate your body sufficiently. There are a number of sports drinks available that claim to provide extra hydration. These won't hurt you, but keep in mind that most brands do contain extra calories that you may not have accounted for in your eating plan. Most importantly, sports drinks do not improve your performance or provide any more hydration than regular water. A thorough "cool-down," sometimes called a "warm-down," includes 10-20 minutes of less intense exercise, some more dynamic stretching, followed by some static stretching. Basically, you want to do your whole workout routine backwards, but at a lower level of intensity. This will greatly reduce the buildup of lactic acid in your muscles, a major culprit of post-workout soreness. Here are some basic static stretches:  Posterior capsule stretch. Stand or sit up straight and stretch one arm across your torso, using your other arm to bring it close to your body. You should feel a stretch across the outside of your arm. Quadriceps stretch. Stand on one foot, reaching out behind you to hold your raised foot in your hand. Engage your abdominal muscles to keep your back straight. You should feel a stretch down the front of your thigh.

Article: Take a belt that fits well – either one that you already have or go to a clothing store and try on belts until you find one that fits the way you want it to. You want the belt to have several notches on each side of the notch you use. A belt that fits well won’t use the last notch or the first notch when it closes. Be sure to wear pants that fit you well so that you can get an accurate idea about what size belt you need if you’re trying on a variety of belts. Put the belt on a flat surface like a table or on the floor. Lay it down so that the belt is completely flat and doesn’t have any bumps sticking out. Make sure the belt is fully extended and doesn’t have any slack. If the belt doesn’t want to stay flat (because of overuse, for example), you can place a heavy object on both ends of the belt to keep it stationary. Grab a retractable measuring tape or a fabric measuring tape. Measure from the base of the buckle prong to the center hole. If you don’t use the center hole, measure from the base of the buckle prong to the hole you use the most. This number will probably range between 30 inches (76.2 cm) and 60 inches (152.4 cm), depending on your waist size. The number (in inches) that you found for the measurement of the belt will be the size you use for ordering your new belt. For example, if the measurement number is 34 inches (86.4 cm), order a size 34 belt.  If you are using the last hole on a belt, consider moving up a belt size (in this example, to a 36) so that there is room to adjust the belt in the future. A correctly fitted belt is usually sized to the center hole. If you are using the first hole on the belt, consider moving down a belt size to a 32. Alternatively, you can use a pair of jeans that fits you (one that is measured numerically by waist size in inches) and use that measurement to determine your belt size. Simply add two inches to the size of the pants and use that as your belt size. Remember that the pants must already be sized in inches, otherwise this method won’t be effective.

Find a belt that fits. Spread the belt out flat. Measure the belt. Use the measurement that you found to order a belt. Use an existing pair of pants.
