Q: Before you can begin refinishing your pool, you’ll need to be sure that you can afford it. The average resurfacing project costs around $6 per square foot. Add up the total square footage of your pool and multiply it by 6 to get a ballpark estimate of how much you can expect to spend.  Certain longer-lasting surfacing materials like fiberglass or tile may add considerably to the overall cost of your project.  This estimate only covers the costs of basic materials, and may not account for extensive repair work or additional equipment that may be necessary to see the project through. Start by removing all patio furniture, electronics and other accessories from the pool area and storing them in a separate location. Stripping a swimming pool tends to spread lots of dust and debris. If you’re not careful, you could ruin more delicate items and leave yourself with a big mess to clean up. Tape a few tarps or weather-resistant drop cloths down around the outer perimeter of the pool. Be sure to also throw one over any nearby furniture or appliances you can’t find storage space for. While the pool is still full, check to make sure the jets, filters, skimmers and lights are all working the way they’re supposed to. If there’s a problem with any of the pool’s equipment, you’ll be able to address it before the actual resurfacing gets underway.  Take a close look at each of these areas and perform a few quick tests, like turning the underwater lights off and on and running your hand over the jets to feel whether they’re circulating water correctly. Keep an eye out for debris and other large obstructions that may be clogging the skimmers.
A: Estimate your budget for the project. Clear the surrounding area. Protect the area around the pool. Confirm that the pool’s other features are functional.

Q: Party clothes, club covers, alcohol, and cabs home get expensive. Many famous party girls are actresses and heiresses. You may not need that kind of money, but you'll still need to make a decent living.  Be sure to work in a profession that meshes well with partying. If you're a doctor or nurse, you can't party while you're on-call. Likewise, don't let partying sink your career. Don't go out partying all night when you have an important meeting in the morning. Not only will these people be responsible for preparing your fancy drinks, they'll be good allies in helping you meet more people and stay in touch with the "people who matter." Tip well. Nothing spreads a bad reputation like being a cheap party girl. Make sure if someone is buying for you, that they also tip well. Bad tipping can make you guilty by association. If you're with a bad tipper, throw in some extra cash if you can. A party girl needs her beauty sleep to be refreshed for the rest of her life - and the next party. As with all good things, they come to end and a successful party girl knows when to call it quits. Don't let too much partying ruin your health.
A: Have a good source of income. Be kind to your bartenders. Don't overdo the partying.

Q: The best way to figure out what kind of vaginitis you have is to see a doctor. If you experience any abnormal discharge or vulvar symptoms, they should be checked by a physician.  You should also see the doctor if you’re sexually active and could have an STI, the discharge is malodorous, you have atrophic symptoms and are of perimenopausal or menopausal age, or if you have a sexual partner, either male or female, with trichomoniasis. When you go to the doctor, she will perform a pelvic exam to examine the vaginal vault and the vulva to check for inflammation and swelling and obtain a sample of discharge for examination. She will also examine your cervix to determine if there is any discharge coming from the cervix itself, indicating a cervicitis, which can be a STI such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. She may take swabs from the cervix or have you submit a urine specimen to double check for these STIs. BV is a disturbance of the natural balance of the vagina. It occurs when the bacterial flora become disrupted and the pH of your vaginal flora is higher than normal. This often develops in women who use douches, have multiple sexual partners, and who smoke. There is one main symptom of BV. You will have a white, milky discharge that has a fishy odor. The best way to diagnosis BV is through a test done by your doctor. She will take a sample of the discharge for microscopic examination in the office. Under microscopic exam, there is the presence of Clue cells, which are bacteria-coated cells. She might also perform a whiff test, which is where she will check for the characteristic fishy smell. Once you have been positively diagnosed with BV, you will receive treatment for it from your doctor. Treatment typically consists of oral metronidazole tablets such as Flagyl. You should take a 500 mg tablet twice daily for one week.  You can also use Flagyl Gel, which is a topical treatment. You use one applicator of gel a day at bedtime for one week. A similar but newer antibiotic, tinidazole, or Tindamax, may also be prescribed. You take one 2 mg pill once a day for a week. There are multiple natural remedies that you can try for BV. You can take probiotics to restore the natural balance of bacteria in the vaginal flora. These can come in the form of an oral probiotic you take twice a day for one week to intra-vaginal dosing for 30 days. Research has shown that the use of a lactobacillus supplement by women who have recurrent BV along with antibiotic therapy helps manage the disease.  You can also try eating yogurt with a probiotic every day. You should also avoid douching. Your natural vaginal secretions are intended to keep the vagina cleansed and it needs nothing more than external cleansing with soap and water to be cleaned properly.
