Q: It's easy to get caught up in our lives and feel too busy for intimacy, especially if we've been with someone for awhile. However, relationships that leave one or both parties feeling unsatisfied just can't last. Make time for intimacy to keep the fires burning strong.  If you have kids that are a bit older, tell them that you've both had a very long day and you're tired so you're going to go to bed. If you have younger kids, get them into bed at a fairly early hour. Avoid only being intimate very sporadically, like when you take trips or set aside a "date night" once or twice a year. This is not good for a relationship. Make sure that everyone involved is happy and giving full consent before getting too serious. This is important for both men and women. If your partner is drunk enough to see giant purple mole-rats, you should not be getting intimate. Get a "yes", not an "I guess". Don't expect sex to be like it is in porn and don't expect your partner to look like a supermodel. And especially don't expect yourself to look one way or another. This will make you and them insecure and uncomfortable, reducing pleasure for everyone involved. If you want to find out more about what feels good to your partner, do some research. Read romance novels written for that gender or read advice columns online to find out ideas of what feels good and what doesn't. We don't mean lose weight or get bigger (insert body part): your partner is with you because they already think you're sexy. When we say be appealing, we mean have good hygiene. Wear decent clothes. That kind of thing. Weight is subjective but very few people are turned on by the smell of week-old sweat. Watch how your partner reacts to things. If they respond well to something you do, do more of that! If they seem uncomfortable, stop! Look for the subtle cues they give you, like putting your hand in a certain place. You can even try mimicking the things that they do to you as oftentimes it is their way of asking for something in particular. Slow down everything about your intimate relationship. Build up to intimate acts slowly, by embracing the subtle art of The Make Out and other types of foreplay. You should slow down the act itself too! This extends and heightens pleasure for all involved parties. You do, of course, also need to get enjoyment from your intimate relationship, but focusing on your partner and making sure that they are satisfied and feeling amazing will go a long way towards improving the relationship and making them want to reciprocate. Go out of your comfort zone. We all know the few basic places our partners like to be touched, but don't forget to explore their whole body! People are sensitive in all sorts of places and to all sorts of different degrees. You may find that your partner goes nuts if you kiss them on the back of their knee! You never know! . Being a great kisser is important and being a bad one can be a real turn-off. Master the art of kissing before trying to master anything else! Don't let your intimate relationship become a routine. Avoid using the same positioning or the same location or the same time of day. Making a routine takes away a lot of the romance and enjoyment for everyone. Break out of your mold and switch things up every now and again to keep your romance alive. Human sexuality, like most things with humans, is incredibly complex. Everyone is different. And because we are all different, the range for what is actually normal is incredibly large. Never close your mind to anything, because you may be surprised at how much you or your partner enjoy something you never considered before. Try things, and if you enjoy them, keep doing it!
A: Make intimacy a priority. Emphasize consent. Ditch the cultural hype. Do some research. Be appealing. Watch your partner's reactions. Slow down. Be unselfish. Explore your partner. Become the master of the kiss Switch things up. Be open minded.

Article: You can sterilize your child’s sippy cups to help reduce mold growth. You can do this once a week or a few times a month.  If your dishwasher has an extremely hot setting, that may sterilize the cups. You can also try a steam sterilizer. A diluted bleach solution can sterilize the sippy cup and help remove mold. To make the solution, add one teaspoon of bleach to a gallon of water.  Soak the sippy cup parts for two minutes. Remember, don’t mix bleach with any other household cleaners. That can cause toxic fumes. Rinse the cup very well after you soak it in a bleach solution. Let the cup dry completely before you reassemble it. Vinegar baths can help reduce mold growth. However, vinegar will probably only kill about 70 percent of mold.  To give the cup a vinegar bath, add one part vinegar to three parts hot water. Let it soak for a couple of minutes.  Rinse the vinegar off and let it dry completely.

Q: They need to be your size or bigger than you. If you don't have the perfect pair, take a trip to the thrift shop! Jeans, khakis, chinos, slacks -- all types will work. If the pants are too big, you'll need to rip up the side seam, cut out the unnecessary fabric, and sew it back together to match your waistline. Make sure it lies flat; you don't want any material bunching or bubbling -- it should naturally lie flush to the table.  If your cut isn't perfectly straight, that's fine! As long as it's a clean line, it doesn't matter what angle it's at. In fact, a steeper angle can give your skirt a more refined, less patched-together look. If you want to use the legs for the rest of your skirt (right now it's too short), don't throw them away just yet! You probably want another six inches (in width) or so of fabric, if not more. If you have some scraps lying around from an old project, use those! Or you can use the pant leg of the ones you just tore up. Does the thigh or the calf give you the width you'd like?  Cut 1/2" (1.25 cm) wide than you need for a seam allowance. Make sure the fabric is long enough to wrap around the entirety of the skirt. If you're using your old jeans, you may need to rip out the seam that meets the skirt -- otherwise that's a lot of thread going on in one place. And because of the cut of the jean, make sure the fabric lines up (width-wise) front and back. Using your 1/2" seam allowance, pin your fabric to the edge of the skirt, leaving the extra on the inside, rendering it invisible. Flip the skirt inside out and begin either hand stitching or blazing through with a sewing machine.  If your fabric requires it, create a seam on the bottom edge, too. Just don't make it too short! If your fabric is giving you any guff, iron it flat. It'll be much easier to work with then. Your skirt's done! But if you want to make it more "you," add a ruffle, some fabric paint, or a bit of material along the sides. And then there's always dye, glitter, iron-ons, ink transfers, and screen printing!
A:
Grab a pair of pants you no longer wear. Cut off your pant legs at the crotch. Cut a strip of another fabric to fill out the length of the skirt. Pin the fabric to the edge of the skirt and sew. Add any final, stylized flairs.
