Problem: Article: Keep your hair long (shoulder to waist length), strait and flowing with sharp layers. Always leave it down and part it in the center. Dye it black or bleach it white blond. If you have curly hair, you can get away with keeping it chin length.  If you're unsure how to do your hair, draw inspiration from any of vampires (male or female) in the Vampire Chronicle movies. Avoid fringe—fringe is a specifically emo haircut, and thus does not apply to ghosts. Wear black, gray or dark red eyeshadow all around your eye. This will  make your eyes look somewhat hollow. Plain eyeliner with red or pink eyeshadow will also work if you want a more subtle look. Powder your face very white. If you have darker skin, you can skip this step. Just make sure to wear eyeliner. Keep them simple—don't add any designs.
Summary: Do your hair properly. Wear eyeliner. Keep your skin pale. Paint your nails black or white.

Problem: Article: You'll need a jailbroken iPhone in order to save Snaps on an iOS device. Jailbreaking can be a difficult or even impossible process, depending on the version of iOS you are running. See Jailbreak an iPhone for instructions on jailbreaking your iPhone, if possible. If you cannot jailbreak your iPhone due to the version of iOS you are running, you will not be able to save Snaps without notifying the other person. Cydia is the jailbreak package manager, and will allow you to find and download the Phantom Snapchat tweak. You'll find Cydia on your Home screen after jailbreaking. This will open the Cydia search. You should see a list of results. Phantom is available in the BigBoss repository, which comes preconfigured with Cydia. This is a Snapchat tweak that will allow you to save Snaps without notifying the other person. Phantom is available for iOS 8 and iOS 9. This will add Phantom to your installation queue. The tweak will be downloaded and installed to your iPhone, which may take a few minutes. After installation is complete, your Home screens will reset. Phantom adds controls directly to the Snapchat app. Launch Snapchat to see the new options. You'll be able to save any Snap directly from the Snap itself. Open the Snap you want to save to your device. This button was added by Phantom, and will open a new menu. The Snap will be saved to your iPhone's camera roll. You can do this for every Snap if you'd like. You can adjust Phantom's settings from the Snapchat settings menu. Tap the Ghost button on the Snapchat camera screen, and then tap the Gear button. You'll see a new option allowing you to adjust Phantom's settings. You can set Phantom to automatically save all received Snaps, and you can set it to save Snaps to a password protected folder backed up to iCloud instead of to your camera roll. Phantom gets updated on a regular basis, usually whenever Snapchat locks it out. If you intend to use Phantom regularly, you should check for updates every day in Cydia.
Summary: Jailbreak your iPhone. Launch Cydia on your iPhone. Tap the "Search" tab in the lower-right corner. Search for "Phantom." Select "Phantom" by developer CokePokes. Tap the "Install" button in the upper-right corner. Tap "Confirm" to start installation. Launch Snapchat. Open the Snap you want to save. Tap the new "Download" button in the lower-right corner of the open Snap. Select "Save to Photos" to save the Snap without notifying the other person. Open the Snapchat settings menu to view Phantom's settings. Check for Phantom updates regularly.

Problem: Article: Making sure it uses the PointsPlus system! There are no two ways around it -- just getting a calculator is the simplest way. With the new formula, activity is assumed with your sex and certain numbers are weighted and there's a bunch of decimal places you really shouldn't have to worry about. Just to prove a point, the Total Energy Expenditure formula is:TEE = 387 - (7.31 x age) + (PA x ((10.9 x wgt) + (660.7 x Ht))...See? And that's just one formula of many. The process of counting food points is different with the new system, too. You need to get a calculator and punch in the amount of protein, carbs, fat and fiber (no calories!) in the food you're eating. Once you do this enough times, it'll become old hat. Weight Watchers has reference material for most restaurants and food items, but if you run into the odd product that isn't pre-listed, you can figure it out with a few button pushes.  This formula is a bit convoluted, too, if you want to do it yourself. Curious? It looks something like this:Points Plus = (Protein grams / 11) + (Carbohydrate grams / 9) + (Fat grams / 4) - (Fiber grams / 35) Here's another way of thinking about it: [(Protein grams x 16) + (Carbohydrate grams x 19) + (Fat grams x 45) + (Fiber grams x 5)]/175 Again, a calculator will be your best friend. There are a whole bunch of resources you can find online when it comes to calculating how many points you've earned for your workouts. Onemorepound.com has a good chart that can walk you through it. You'll need to know the intensity and duration of your workout and your weight.  30 minutes of a moderately intense workout for someone that weights 175 pounds is two points. If you wanted to eat that cheesecake, you'll need to work out for a spell, that's for sure. If it wasn't clear, activity points can be lobbed off your daily points usage. If you ate 27 points worth of food, but moderately exercised for 30 minutes, you're down to 25 (weight depending). Huzzah! On this new program, all fruits and many veggies (but not all) are zero points. AWESOME. That's the way it should be. Check your materials or with your weight watcher buddies to find out which ones are on this list. But remember, eating 19 bananas is not the way to go. They should be snacks, not meals! However, they're not zero when they're combined in recipes. Be sure to include their content when you're finding out the point value of dishes you're creating. On this new system, you get 49 points to throw around freely. P.F. Chang's, anyone? The reason the old system got revamped is because it had too much emphasis on calories. If you got confronted with a small bag of cookies and an apple (eat these or your family gets it!), they'd have similar point values. You had no reason to go for the apple over the cookies, even though it's obviously healthier.  That being said, both systems do lead to watching calories -- a basic tenant of losing weight. If the original system is easier for you, choose it. If it's easy, you'll stick with it! In general, most foods have higher point values with the new system (apart from fruits and veggies, which are often 0). However, you'll probably have a higher daily allowance, too.
Summary:
Use an online calculator to pinpoint your daily allowance. Calculate your food points, too. Find out how many activity points you have. Know the "zero" foods. Use your 49 weekly PointsPlus points whenever and however you'd like. Know the differences between the systems.
