When it comes to your hair, keep it fairly simple. You’ll be getting wet so don’t spend a lot of time styling your hair.  An easy styling tip for your hair is the night before the party wash your hair. Then, while it's still damp, spritz on a bit of detangler and put it into a single braid (you can try multiple braids, too). In the morning, undo the braid(s) and you'll have beachy waves, which are perfect for a pool party! You may also want to keep your hair in a loose braid at the party. This is particularly useful if your hair is already wet after being in the pool. You can quickly braid it and once it has dried, can let it loose as the night wears on. Everyone can benefit from adding a few accessories to their pool style. Try a stylish hat, which will not only provide extra protection from the sun but will look cute as well. A few pieces of jewelry is acceptable, but don’t overdo it, as you still want to be able to enjoy the pool without being weighed down.  Don’t wear any overly expensive jewelry, as you’re at risk of losing it while in the pool. Floppy hats are not only stylish but practical for keeping the sun off your face. Sunscreen is an important accessory. Consider bringing a matching bag to hold your sunscreen and other accessories when you’re in the pool. Although sunglasses are an accessory, they are such a major part of your pool party style, that they deserve to be in their category. Sunglasses protect while making a statement.  Try to match your sunglasses with what you’re wearing. For example, if you’re wearing gold jewelry, try finding some gold-rimmed sunglasses to wear as well. Pair sunglasses with a hat for added protection and a stylish look.

One-sentence summary -- Style your hair. Add accessories. Don’t forget sunglasses.


There's a lot of junk out there online, but there are a few reputable sources. A UFO witness should report a sighting to the following reliable organizations:  Local law enforcement agencies National UFO Reporting Center  Mutual UFO Network  Center for UFO Studies  Alien UFO ResearchSome of these agencies have hotlines if you would rather make a phone call. However, most reports are now done via the Internet. Each website has it's own form to fill out, but they are all essentially the same – the details you constructed together about your experience. Your personal information shouldn’t be in the actual report; it should be in the form on the website (or given to the operator on a hotline).  The additional questions will vary from your age and background to your beliefs and your habits prior to that night. It’s all with the purpose of weeding out the people that are mistaken or trying to start a hoax. You are completely welcome to file a report with every agency. In fact, it may not be a bad idea. The more resources you tap into, the more likely you are to get results. If your report is valid and intriguing, you may be requested for interviews. If the process continues on, your camera may be requested and you may even be asked to go under oath. This type of thing is taken very seriously; if you’re just having fun, you will be found out. If you prefer to remain anonymous, most (if not all) forms can accommodate you. This will not affect how your report is processed. Only in incredibly rare situations will you be asked to name yourself (if you have undoubtable footage, for example). There are tons of websites out there that are scams. If you have a true experience, only go to reputable sources. Do your research beforehand and never have anyone “sell your story” for you. It’s yours. You get to do with it as you please.

If you can sense that your friend does not want to talk about something, turn the conversation back to the activity you originally planned, or suggest a new activity. It is not your job to be funny or interesting.  Experts say that the conversations that people find the most interesting are the ones where they are able to talk about their own interests the most.  All you have to do is ask your friend about what interests them, and listen carefully, so you can ask follow-up questions. If your activities don’t work out, suggest something that you usually like to do. If all else fails, take a walk or get food. Don’t let changes ruin the visit. Remember that some of the best visits are not centered around an activity at all. Activities are really just an excuse to hang out and talk.  If the two of you are having a good time without doing the activity, don't rush into doing it.  If the conversation ever runs out, the activity will be a good way to break the silence. Don't expect to be best friends as soon as the visit is over.  Just be confident in the fact that you were able to successfully ask someone over, and keep doing it until it becomes second nature.

One-sentence summary -- Don't let a moment of awkwardness ruin the visit. Be flexible and spontaneous. Remember that some friendships take time to grow.


You can look it up online or ask a sales associate what it will be.  While states usually set a statewide sales tax, some municipalities add their own taxes on top of that. This means that the sales tax rate can vary drastically when moving between different cities or counties. Sales tax is not charged on all items you buy. Check online to see what is, and is not, taxed in your area. Take the percent number and imagine a decimal point after it.  Now move that decimal point two spaces to the left, giving you the decimal equivalent of the sales tax percentage.  For example, if the sales tax rate is 8%, the decimal figure will be .08. This calculation will give you the amount of tax that will be charged for your purchase. For example, if the item you want to buy is $20, multiply 20 times .08 and you get 1.6.  That means you will have to pay $1.60 in sales tax. This will give you the total price you will have to pay at the register. Using our same example once again, if you will be charged $1.60 on your $20 item, simply add 1.6 to 20, for a total of $21.60.
