There are several brands of lightening products that create a chemical reaction when activated with sunlight, and this reaction lightens your hair. To use, simply spray it on your hair, and go out in the sun! In just a few hours, your hair will begin to lighten.  For example, try Sun-In. This method lightens your hair, but this is not a natural option. It may cause damage and breakage to your hair over time. If you want a lightening method that will gradually lift your hair, purchase washing products made for blonde hair or advertised as “lightening.” Then, apply a moderate amount to all of your hair, and leave it on for 1-3 minutes before rinsing out.  In about 2 weeks of daily use, your hair may start to lighten. Additionally, many companies offer lightening conditioners to supplement with your lightening shampoos. If you have darker hair or if you want to commit to a brighter blonde permanently, consider dying your hair. For best results, hire a stylist to create your ideal look. They can add highlights, tone your existing color, or bring your dark color to a lighter hue. Alternatively, you can dye your hair yourself. However, the bleaching process can greatly damage your hair, and it takes much time and knowledge to bring dark hair to light tones. Research online before you decide to dye your hair yourself. Always ensure you use quality dyes and bleaches to avoid excessive damages.

Summary: Apply a lightening spray for an effortless lightening option. Try using a lightening shampoo when you wash your hair. Dye your hair blonde if you want a permanent blonde style.


How you set up your schedule is up to you, but if you're serious about flipping, you should stick to a regular schedule for both finding items and listing items. Treat your schedule like you would a normal job, and hold yourself to it. When making your schedule, use information from your thrift stores. It can help to know when they usually restock, for instance, or when they run regular sales, so you can schedule yourself accordingly. Some of that information is available online, but you'll find out much more by talking to store employees. Of course, you want to keep some of the profit for yourself to live on, but you should also reinvest some of your profit into new products. How much you reinvest is up to you, but you should consider reinvesting as much as 75% of the profits you make. When you start listing items, you'll need good photos of the items you're selling. That means you need good lighting, as well as a non-distracting background. Natural light works well if you can find a place to set up in your home, but you can also purchase photo lights to help illuminate your pictures. Cleaning up an item can make a huge difference for how well it sells. Also, if you have the skills, try repairing or restoring an item to new glory. With a little bit of elbow grease, you can get a much higher price for the items you're selling. Check out what the item is selling for on the sites you are listing on. Consider the condition of the item, which will affect what people are willing to pay for it. Also, the brand name, the year it was made, and any special conditions can affect the price. For instance, some first edition books with misprints sell for much higher than other first editions. Aim for the middle to high end of the range. Make sure you are turning a profit. Be sure to include things like your mileage and your time when you're figuring out the price for an item, as well as the cost of listing the item and any payment fees.

Summary: Hold yourself to a schedule. Reinvest your profit. Set up a photo station. Clean up or repair items. Price items.


Place items you don’t use often inside your cabinets or store them outside your kitchen if you’re short on space. Only store items you frequently use on the countertop. This makes it easier for you to work in your kitchen every day.  For example, you might keep your microwave on the counter if you use it daily, but put away your toaster if you only use it once a week. If you’re short on cabinet space, place any decorative items you’d like to display in your kitchen in an out-of-the-way location, such as on top of your cabinets. Don’t clutter your cabinets and countertops with decorations. Designate which areas need to remain empty, such as your food prep area. Then, find a spot for items you use daily, such as your microwave, coffee pot, dish rack, and cutting board. Make sure you know where your power sockets are before you decide where to place your items. You’ll need to put your appliances in a place where they can be plugged in. This includes items like your stirring spoon, spatula, spaghetti server, and slotted spoon. Only place items you use often in your utensil jar. Store items you rarely use but want to keep in a utensil drawer. A large jar or canister works great for storing your utensils. As another option, you can use a clean vase. Keep only the knives you actually use, such as your chopping and paring knives. Let go of your extra knives and knife block, which can take up too much space on your countertop.  If you have knives you use occasionally, store them in a drawer. Donate your unused knives and knife block. A tray gives you more space around your sink. Place your soap, dish sponge, and towel on the tray. Then, place your sink stopper and bottle scrubber below the shelf. You can find an over the sink shelf for your kitchen. Alternatively, get creative and use a cake stand as a shelf! It's normal for your oil or honey to drip, making your bottle sticky. This can gum up your cabinet or countertop and make your other items sticky! Place your oil on a small dish or tray that you can wash often. It's common to store un-refrigerated produce on your countertop. Keep your produce together by placing it in a stylish bowl or basket. Then, set it on the counter where you can easily access it. Put your fruit where you can easily grab them for a snack. If space is an issue, you might place your vegetables farther back on the counter until you need them to prepare your meals.

Summary: Keep rarely used items off your countertops. Place commonly used appliances and kitchenware on the counter. Keep your most used kitchen utensils in a jar near the stove. Install a magnetic strip to hang your knives. Put a small shelf by your sink for your hand soap and sponges. Keep items like cooking oil and honey on a dish or tray. Place fruit and vegetables in a basket or bowl on the counter.


There are many benefits to having smaller breasts, such as not needing to wear an underwire bra and having an easier time with breast exams. Physical activity is also easier for women with small chests, and you don’t have to deal with back pain caused by large breasts. Another benefit is that you'll have an easier time finding clothes that fit you. For example, you won't have to worry about being unable to close a button-up blouse. Being flat-chested shouldn’t define you. There are lots of other parts of yourself to appreciate, so spend some time thinking of areas of your body and mind that you do love. For example:  You may have beautiful hands, long legs, or a great bum. You might be a great listener, a loyal friend, or have a great sense of humor. Remember that you are beautiful and worthy, no matter the size of your chest. Looks only make up a small part of you who are. Create a list of skills and talents you possess and activities you enjoy to remind yourself of all the reasons you have to be confident. For example:  You may be a strong swimmer or be able to make every free-throw you shoot. You might be well-organized, a great friend, or very artistic. You may enjoy singing and dancing, excel in math, or have the ability to cheer up anyone who is sad.
Summary: Embrace your flat chest. Appreciate other areas of yourself. Practice skills and do activities that make you feel good.
