rather than buy by brand (some of us like me tend to be loyal to the first condom we ever bought, even if it isn't appropriate then or now!) or marketing ("Magnum"), accurate size data is available on About

It's much easier to stick with a daily regime rather than something like 3 times a week. Try a few minutes of exercise every day at the same time every day. Even if you're not feeling well, make it shorter or lighter, but don't skip it. I have been doing this for about seven years now. Feeling great.

Go out with your hot girlfriend (or date) to a big city night club where there are many guys gonna be staring at her on the way.

You will stand up straighter than you ever have in your life.

This may sound like a joke but I'm serious. I don't slouch anymore since I started this cause I got used to standing up right.

It’s not easy to keep yourself all hyped up and motivated to work out. Sometimes you’d rather just eat junk food, watch TV and get fatter by the minute. Getting and staying fit isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. Here are 5 ways to motivate yourself to work out! You can do it!

In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it. Jane Smiley The distance is nothing; it is only the first step that is difficult. Marie de Vichy How many times have you decided to improve your look, lose weight and regain your shape, and then gave up? How many times have you decided to start working out or go to the gym, and then quit? Or perhaps, you have actually started exercising, but as time passed, your workouts became fewer and far between, until you completely stopped doing them? Well, it happens to many people: the initial impetus disappears and the motivation vanishes.

Even though we all know very well that doing exercises is one of the most important prerequisites for a healthy life, sometimes we just can’t manage to motivate ourselves to start or to continue doing them. Here are few suggestions to kick start your workout program and motivate yourself to keep on exercising. 1. First of All, Change Your Lifestyle

Equilibrate your diet, start drinking depurative and energizing herbal teas, take more care of your skin and this will surely motivate you to do even more for yourself, or that is to start exercising.

1. Choose a Gym That is Near Your House, Work or School and That Has Flexible Hours

And don’t expect that just the payment of the inscription fee will make you attend classes regularly! You would only be fooling yourself and wasting your money. Instead, start doing exercises at home and you begin feeling more energetic and fit, go to the gym and you’ll see how easy it will be to begin then.

1. Physical Activity Does not Always Mean doing Gym Workout Routines

Don’t choose an exercise program that’s a chore for you, but find something you will really enjoy! There are many physical activities that aren’t boring and that involve all of your body muscles! You can try belly dancing, tango, swimming, or pilates. You can do yoga alone or incorporate it into your regular workout routine. Apart from tonifying your body, yoga will also help you improve your emotional state and equilibrate your nervous system.

1. Think of a Long-term Goal

Motivate yourself to workout by thinking and focusing on a long-term goal such as preventing obesity, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, alleviating back pain and keeping osteoporosis away, as well as slowing aging. Why not start from today?

1. What If One Day You Don’t Feel Like Doing a Complete Work Out?

Then you should do at least 15 minutes of basic exercises, such as abdominals or other that might be really important for you. This will help you maintain rhythm and continuity, stay in track and keep your motivation alive. And you wouldn’t have any chance to say “well, I didn’t do it yesterday, the day before either, so what’s the use of doing it today….”, knowing that the day after would be just the same.

1. More Ways to Motivate Yourself to Hit the Gym

   Always think of how good you will feel after your workout. Substitute your scale with a pair of jeans to see and feel immediate and concrete results. Go to the gym or do your workouts with a friend. You will have fun and at the same time you will push each other to exercise. Put on your favorite music while doing workouts. They will give you a positive boost of energy and stimulate you to keep going. Equip yourself at home: get some exercise dvds, a pair of hand and ankle weights and a few other fitness tools, and you will have no excuse for not exercising even if you don’t go to the gym. Plus, you will have the chance to do it any time of the day you like! Don’t forget that you need to cuddle yourself once in a while! Recompense your efforts with a good and fragrant massage oil to relax your muscles and tone and elasticize your skin.

Been having this migraine for quite some time now. It's more of an on and off season. There are times when it isn't apparent, but when it is, it becomes consistent on a day to day basis.

I can vouch for the fact that smoking cannabis helps alleviate the pain. Although I just quit recently because it is still illegal in my country. I think painkillers such as paracetamol work too but in the long term damages the liver, so I wouldn't want to rely on it. Are there any other remedies?

Top 3 mistakes:

Mistake number 1 is going to be: Rolling your shoulders ! I've seen a lot of people doing this from the moment I first entered the gym and I don't know where did this way of performing this exercise come from but it's dangerous and ineffective.

Mistake number 2 is going to be: Not fixing your elbows! You're putting stress on your biceps this way of performing the exercise and you are not fully focusing on your traps.

Mistake number 3 is going to be: Going forward with your head! This doesn't have any effect on the focus of your traps and "trap-vise" you will get the same results,but this way of performing the exercise can have a negative effect on your posture in the long run.

1. Tilt your head back as you normally would

2. CLOSE your eye(s)

3. Place the eye dropper in the well between the bridge of your nose and your eyeball.

4. Fill your "well" with a drop or two and open your eye slowly.

This is hands down the best way I've ever found of applying eye drops. You will probably end up wasting a bit on your first few attempts. But honestly you probably waste some of the eye dropper fluid each time you use it anyway. :P

I've suffered from SAD for a long time. I have one of those expensive full-spectrum lamps and take a huge amount of Vitamin D every day. I have tried fitting the lamp into my life in a few different ways, but mostly gave up, until I read this:

http://www.vox.com/2014/11/21/7255227/seasonal-affective-disorder

TL;DR for that article: It matters more that you use the lamp every morning. You can't just use it sometimes, or for a long period once a week. Its purpose is not to make more Vitamin D; its purpose is to reset your circadian rhythm.

So here's the Life ProTip: Put your lamp somewhere convenient for your morning routine. Point it at yourself in the shower (as long as it won't get wet!) or where you eat breakfast, etc. I feel much better now that I've been using the lamp correctly

I often feel super-itchy after a shower. Why is this, and how do I prevent it? I've tried different soaps, different towels, and different detergents for washing my towels. Nothing works so far.

Do you have an annoying neighbor that seems to forget that they have an alarm clock going? Perhaps one left on vibrate, on the upstairs floor, and subject to hours of going on?

Well, I had this problem a couple of times with my upstairs neighbor on a consistent basis, and I can tell you that the best immediate remedy is not yelling at 4 AM. No, if you're a vindictive bastard such as I, the best remedy is sincere, all-out audible warfare.

PART I - METHODOLOGY

If your walls or ceiling happen to be thin enough to transfer sound and bass, the best method is to to fight fire with fire. With high bass beats and high treble level music, specifically.

As your neighbor's alarm has demonstrated, your walls and ceiling transfer vibration easily and adequately enough for high-pitch and bass tones to pass through. Choose your weapon of music carefully and ensure it is one with enough beat variety to transfer through the walls.

Ex. Dubstep, Most Electronic music, Many forms of Rap/Hip-Hop

Along with careful placement of speakers in the direction of the noise, we can ensure it is adequately delivered to the enemy.

You won't be able to sleep either, but that's why you're up aren't you? You're awake already, so just prepare adequate and vindictive revenge.

Part II - Arrangement

Place speakers on the nearest point of origin of the noise in question. If it is on your ceiling, move them to the highest point available and point them in the most immediate direction.

Then, prepare your weapon library. I have mine set to a variety of selections from WuTang Clan (this morning, Da Mystery of Chessboxin', Protect Ya Neck), Skrillex (almost any will do, but I like Make It Bun Dem and Rock n Roll (Will Take You Up the Mountain)), and the like. I can't really help you if you have no variety - that's a personal issue best suited for Pandora and friends.

Now, crank 'em up and touch your finger on that paper-thin wall or ceiling away from your speakers. If you can feel it vibrate at all then the sound is transferring. Give it one-or-two minutes before cutting the volume down to see if anything has changed with their alarm.

PART III - Post-Mission Debriefing

If this shit keeps up you really need to talk to your neighbor, or the landlord. You may need to talk to the landlord immediately in case of any complaints.

If you don't have charisma then "fuck you" warfare is not the place for you. Stick to yelling and hitting things with broomsticks.

So I have a problem with loogies, especially during this time of year (winter in the US). When I start having a coughing fit trying to get one up that is just being stubborn I roll over on my head on my bead and cough.

Loogie comes out with ease!!! Thanks gravity!!

An Apple a day, keeps the doctors away.

Within a 40 - 90 seconds the nostril on the upper side should clear up. Switch sides in bed as necessary as the lower nostril might get clogged instead.

I was feeling somber/melancholy throughout most of the day (for no real good reason--that I can think of) and then I got a haircut in the evening and now I feel GREAT!

The lateral traction relieves pressure on the back and hips. And it makes your legs feel good. You can stand indefinitely like this with less pain.

...and dancing is always enjoyable, also it helps not getting totally wasted.

make use of these simple work arounds in order to curb arthritis like pains!

• the Home and End buttons (snap to top and bottom of the page, respectively)
• page up and page down buttons (move a page)
• the [-] on the top left corner of reddit comments to close it and its children when you're done with it
• click the mouse wheel while on the page for an auto scroll based on the position of your cursor relative to where you clicked
• click on the arrows/desired position on the scroll bar on the right
• use arrow keys (don't hold them down too hard, a light press is enough)
• stretch regularly when doing any dexterity intensive activity! Follow this video or find your own stretch routine

• Example: Smoking
• Imagine the urge is not your own, but belongs to a monster living in your body and mind.
• Food to keep this monster alive is controlled only by you, and the food is smoking.
• Your urges are the monster hounding and pleading with you for food. The addiction is the monster.
• Embrace the urge as hunger pains from the monster.
• Enjoy the urge and create internal dialog like "aw poor leeching monster is so desperate for smoke".
• Every time you give in to the monster's urge by smoking, you are feeding it, so keeping it alive longer.
• The monster will keep hounding you for its food, but eventually will die from starvation.
• The only way to kill the monster is to take away its food. Once it's gone, your addiction is gone.

Further, the paper cut, being a very shallow wound, will also tend to hurt longer because they won't bleed much and sometimes not at all. This leaves the nerves open to the air (why it stings) and other irritants, so they will continue to be in an activated state for much longer than more significant cuts.
TL;DR Papercuts don't bleed much and leave the cut open to air, causing it to sting. Cover it with chapstick.

Read the damn chapter, clean the damn house, move the damn couch, buy the damn groceries, wash the damn clothes or put gas in the damn car... whatever it is, just do the damn thing.

The (scrumptious) combination of spirits, juices, fresh fruits and creamy mixers isn’t just a recipe for a headache; but expanded waistline too.

If you're skinny like me, and you spend your day sitting at a computer, not moving, then mostly likely in winter your hands and feet get extra cold.

A tip to not get those red or purple swelling fingers and toes is to make sure your fingers and toes gradually warm up. When showering don't jump straight in, rather, work up the temperature of those extremities because rapid changes lead to bursts in the tiny blood vessels causing you hell.
