Gently inquire about what is bothering them. You might say, “I can tell that you've got a lot on your mind. Would you like to talk about it?” Another example of what you could say is, “You seem down today. How can I help?” If your partner does not want to talk about the issue right away, then respect that decision. They will come to you about it when they are ready. while they talk.

They may or may not want your help, and it is important that you respect that. They are independent and is capable of doing things on their own.

Focus on clothes you don’t wear, toys you’ve grown out of, or items that don’t belong in your bedroom.  Try using four different boxes to organize all the items in your room: for trash, give away, keep, or relocate. Try to throw away or give away as many things as possible, move others to different rooms, and finally put back all the “keep” items.  Consider whether you are able to store some things in your room elsewhere in the house. Can you put all your off-season clothes in a hall closet or basement? Could toys or clothes you’ve grown out of go to a younger sibling or even a neighbor? Use storage containers to easily organize and categorize items in your room. Look for cute or colorful ones that will be decorative as well as practical.  Try buying cloth boxes or hanging shelves meant for your closet, where you can designate one for socks, one for belts, one for underwear, etc. On your desk, you could have colorful boxes and trays for papers, pencils, and other school or art supplies. You don’t always have to buy new storage containers. Try creating your own cute and colorful containers by wrapping plain boxes, cans, or bins with patterned paper or fabric for an easy upgrade.  You can also add hanging storage to the back of a door with a couple hooks and rods for clothes, jewelry, and accessories. Get your room super clean and tidy before you do any repainting or reorganizing. This will let you visualize changes and move furniture and other items around more easily.  Move everything out of your room completely if you’re repainting. If you’ll just be rearranging and decorating, simply take out smaller things to make it easier to move furniture around. Take smaller items off of the surfaces of tables, shelves, or nightstands so they won’t get bumped or broken when reorganizing. This will also let you dust or clean surfaces, and rethink where you might put your smaller objects.

To create the appearance of a healthy, beachy glow, you can use a high-quality tan cream or spray and rub it into any areas that will be exposed--particularly the legs, arms, and shoulders. If you feel comfortable tanning, you can go the old-fashioned route of tanning in the sun. Just be sure to practice safe habits when out in the sun. One of the hallmarks of California style is youth. To make sure you appear as youthful as possible, keep your skin full, healthy, and moisturized. Invest in a good-quality skincare routine that wards off pimples and dry skin, while optimizing plump and smooth skin. One of the best way to moisturize is to use various oils. Experiment with different oils (starting with apricot kernel oil or coconut oil) to see which works best for your skin. In keeping with the notion of youth, California style usually relies more on good skin than a lot of makeup to look great. Rather than focusing on careful, meticulous makeup application, place your focus on making your bare skin look its absolute best. If you love wearing makeup, opt for a natural look, focusing on either your eyes or your lips, but not both. To make sure you skin is always at its best, treat it like a treasured friend. Always remove your makeup at the end of the day, apply moisturizer each morning and night after washing and toning, and wear SPF any time you know you'll be in the sun. All of these together will make sure your skin looks its best at any given moment.
