Q: If an endless array of color choices is starting to overwhelm you, create an inspiration board. Either collect pictures from design magazines and attach them all to a whiteboard or corkboard or use an online site like Pinterest to save pictures you find while you’re browsing. Once you collect about 10-15 pictures you love, pick out the colors you see most often to help make your decision easier. Often, you’ll find that you’re drawn to similar images again and again. If your inspiration board is really eclectic, you might opt for a neutral paint color, then scour flea markets, thrift stores, and home decor shops for unique, funky art and decor you can hang on the walls. Unless you’re furnishing your bedroom from scratch, it’s a good idea to consider the furniture, bedding, and decor you already have when you’re choosing a paint color. For instance, if you have a painting in your bedroom that you absolutely love, you might pick out a subtle tone from the picture as the inspiration for your walls. You can also use colors from other dominant pieces like your floor rug, a chair, or your bedspread, and choose paint colors that match these hues.  You’ll often find that it’s easier to match your paint color to the items you already have, rather than trying to buy new items that will complement your paint. If you introduce an entirely new color that doesn’t match your furniture, you may make your bedroom look too busy or chaotic. Your wall color doesn't need to match your furniture perfectly, but it should all flow together. For instance, if you have white furniture, you might pick serene tones like light blue or lavender to complete the calm feel. For brown furniture, you might consider a beige wall color. Neutrals are colors like white, grey, and tan, although they can also include very light shades of other colors, including green, yellow, pink, and blue. Neutrals tend to fade into the background, so they’re great for creating a subtle ambiance. You can then use your furnishings, bedding, and decor to add pops of color to your room.  For instance, if you have furniture made of dark wood, you might paint your walls warm beige and find bedding in a warm floral pattern you really love. Then, you could add a bold rug, curtains, and artwork in colors that reflect the tones in your bedding for a cozy, cheerful feel. If you prefer a more modern bedroom, you could paint your room in a sophisticated grey tone, then decorate with industrial-inspired furniture and sparse—but striking—decor. However, you could also use colors like teal, lavender, and yellow to brighten up the room and make it feel cozier. You can use soft white bedding and nature-inspired shades to turn white walls into an inviting and romantic atmosphere, or you can use the white backdrop as a stark backdrop for bold art and patterned bedding. Primary colors and other over-saturated hues can be overwhelming in a bedroom. It’s best to use colors that are softened slightly, such as a red tinted with grey or blue that’s been mixed with a little white. Then, you can introduce brighter splashes of that color in your other design details like your bedding or wall hangings. For instance, instead of using crayon red in your room, you might opt for a slightly darker ruby shade for a more sophisticated feel.
A: Look online or in magazines for pictures to help you define your style. Base your color scheme on your furniture for a cohesive look. Opt for neutrals if you want the focus to be on your furniture and decor. Avoid using colors that are too bold in your bedroom.

Q: Making sure you have a stable, healthy sperm count can increase your chances at getting your partner pregnant. Some studies indicate high temperatures around the scrotum can affect sperm production. Take measures to keep your groin cool to increase your chance at pregnancy.  Avoid saunas and hot tubs. Try not to use warm electronics, like laptops, on your lap as this can affect sperm count.  Try wearing loose-fitting underwear to increase airflow to your groin. You can also minimize the time you spend sitting, as this can heat up your scrotum. Like women, men can increase their fertility by eating a healthier plant-based diet. The antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables may help sperm stay healthy. Try to snack on fruits and veggies throughout the day. Have a salad before dinner and vegetable or fruit based side dishes. Try skipping dessert a few nights a week in favor of fruit for a sweet after dinner treat. Moderate physical activity may help increase sperm count. Try to incorporate some light walking, jogging, or biking into your daily routine. You could, for example, ride your bike to work instead of walking each day. You could also make a point of taking your dog for a long walk before bed each night. All of this can potentially increase your sperm count. Toxins found in pesticides and household products may have an effect on sperm count. If you work a job, like construction, that requires you to work with toxins, take preventative measures. Always wear protective clothing to prevent skin contact with chemicals. If you and your partner are struggling to conceive, consider seeing a fertility doctor to have a sperm count done. You will provide a semen sample, which will be medically tested to count the sperm. A sperm count lower than 15 million per milliliter of semen is considered low. Do not panic if your sperm count is low. There are many medical treatments, such as taking hormones and surgical options, that can correct a low sperm count. You will have to talk to your doctor to see which options are right for you given your medical history and current health.
A:
Keep cool. Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Exercise. Watch your exposure to toxins. Get a sperm count.
