Q: One way to treat CAD is to reduce exposure to environmental allergens. For some dogs, this will mean avoiding cut grass, or staying indoors during peak pollen season. When your Golden Retriever does need to go outside, wipe it down with a wet cloth afterwards to remove the pollen from its fur and skin. Keeping your Golden Retriever inside all the time may make it get antsy and hyper, though, so this method may not be practical for every dog.   Pay special attention to wiping off your Golden Retriever’s paws. Your dog could lick its paws or touch another part of its body with the paws and trigger an allergic reaction. Reducing exposure can be effective if your vet identified the specific ‘culprit’ allergen. Without knowing the specific allergen, reducing exposure would be very difficult. If your Golden Retriever is allergic to dust or dust mites, several avoidance strategies are available. For example, dust and vacuum your home frequently (at least once a week). In addition, wash your Golden Retriever’s bedding in hot water regularly. Changing your air filters regularly, according to product instructions, will also help keep dust out of the air in your home. Other strategies to reduce exposure to dust and dust mites are:  Placing a plastic cover over your dog’s bed Using the air conditioner when it’s hot outside Keeping your Golden Retriever in non-carpeted rooms, such as the kitchen Keeping your Golden Retriever out of recently vacuumed areas Not giving your Golden Retriever stuffed toys to play with, since they could accumulate dust Mold is another common allergen associated with CAD. If your Golden Retriever is allergic to mold, consider using dehumidifiers, which reduce humidity in the air. Dehumidifiers are available at home supply stores. Also, avoid having houseplants, since the soil of potted plants can get moldy. Keeping your Golden Retriever out of the basement and avoiding dusty pet foods can also reduce mold exposure.  If you do have house plants, put activated charcoal on the soil to prevent mold development. Look for activated charcoal at your local gardening store. Clean your dehumidifiers according to the product’s instructions. Cleaning them will help them work more effectively.
A: Limit your Golden Retriever’s time outside. Minimize exposure to dust and dust mites. Reduce mold levels in your home.

Q: Just because these shirts have a unique cut doesn’t mean you can’t layer them with your cold weather staples. A crisp, form fitting off the shoulder top looks polished and trendy with a tailored blazer, leaving your collarbones and shoulders slightly exposed. Slip a comfy cardigan over an off the shoulder top to stay warm and cozy while flaunting a bit of skin. Even though adding a jacket will cover up your shoulders, you will still be able to show the unique neckline of these tops. If you’re wearing an off the shoulder top that tends to move or slide down when you top it with a jacket, you may want to opt for a cape instead. These winter capes are basically warm, sleeveless cloaks that can keep you toasty warm without causing your top to slip and slide constantly. Not only are they comfortable and convenient, but they made you look fashion-forward and sophisticated at the same time. Win win! You may get too chilly with your shoulders, upper chest, and neck all exposed. If that’s the case, add a big, warm scarf to your ensemble. If you’re dressing up or aiming to look a bit more elegant, a fur stole or shawl can totally transform your outfit. Depending on the option you choose, you can still show off your shoulders or the shirt’s neckline while bundling up. This might sound like it will ruin the effect of an off the shoulder top, but it can look very nice. While you won’t be showing as much skin, you can still show off the unique neckline of an off the shoulder top. Try pairing a structured off the shoulder blouse with a lacy or frilly shirt underneath for a cool contrast. You can add a basic t-shirt or tank top under a patterned or plunging off the shoulder top to keep the focus on the top. Try pairing your tops with pieces you already have in your closet, and you might be surprised what you end up liking!
A: Pop on a jacket. Keep it simple with a cape. Stay warm by adding a scarf or faux fur. Wear a shirt underneath.

Q: Rather than practising astral projection at night, right before you go to sleep, start in the early morning hours when you're still feeling drowsy. Some say that it's easier to reach the necessary state of relaxation and heightened awareness around dawn. Yet it is possible to astral travel at any time so there are no hard and fast rules. It is a personal preference or simply astral traveling when we feel empowered to do it. Astral projection requires a state of deep relaxation, so it should be performed in a part of your home where you're completely comfortable. Lie on your bed or sofa and relax your mind and body.  It's easier to perform astral projection alone than it is with someone else in the room. If you usually sleep with a partner, choose a room other than the bedroom to practice astral projection. A good time to do it is when no one else is in and make sure no one is going to walk into the room when you're in astral flight. Draw the shades or curtains and rid the room of distracting noises. Any type of interruption could disrupt the state of relaxation you need to achieve. Position yourself on your back in your chosen room. Close your eyes and try to clear your mind of distracting thoughts. Concentrate on your body and how it feels. The goal is to achieve a state of complete mind and body relaxation.  Flex your muscles and then loosen them. Start with your toes and work your way up your body, gradually making your way to your head. Make sure every muscle is completely relaxed when you are through. Breathe deeply and exhale completely. Don't hold tension in your chest and shoulders, just relax. Focus your mind on your breathing. Don't get carried away with thoughts of outside worries, and don't get preoccupied yet with the idea of your soul projecting from your body. Just let yourself sink into relaxation. It can be helpful to use a quartz crystal to raise and speed up your vibrations as preparation. Gently hold the crystal on your third eye slightly above the centre of your eyebrows with closed eyes and breathing deeply. Feel the vibrations and your head clearing; you can envision golden, white, purple or any colour light if you like. During the meditation and astral travelling you can hold the crystal in your hand or place it on your chest or abdomen. The crystal will empower and protect you because of its high vibrations; negative energies have lower vibrations.
A:
Start in the morning. Create the right atmosphere. Lie down and relax.
