For shoes too tight

Put on a very thick pair of socks (or several pairs) and squeeze your feet into the shoes. Blast a hairdryer around the tight parts while flexing and stretching your feet.

Keep the shoes on while they cool down and then check the results while wearing your normal socks.

You can repeat several times until you get a fine fit.

But be careful that too much heat will dry out the leather, so cure with shoe cream or polish afterwards.

I've seen some people say it helps to watch tv shows/movies to help learn Japanese but what is the best way of doing this? Watching something in English with Japanese subtitles or watching in Japanese with English subtitles? But still watching in Japanese with Eng subs doesn't help with reading Japanese so wouldn't that be harder since you're technically hearing the romanji for speaking?

It depends which skill you would like to focus on. If you watch something in English with Japanese subtitles, then you would be practicing your reading skills. But if you watch something in Japanese with English subtitles, you would be practicing your listening skills. Whichever option you decide to do, I would recommend possibly decreasing the speed of the video if you’re only a beginner so that you have time to either read and accurately understand the Japanese subtitles, or because sometimes Japanese can be spoken very quickly and it’s easy to miss what someone has said.And no, I wouldn’t consider watching something in Japanese with English subtitles as “hearing romaji but for speaking”, I would simply consider it as practicing your listening skills. Romaji is just the romanised spelling of Japanese words in writing, not what is being spoken out loud.

Hiii do you know anything I can do to attract a job? I've been applying like crazy but it's a year now and I'm using all the help I could get! Thank you x

Great question and I would be happy to help.  A bunch of my friends joke around about me being able to find jobs in a snap.  It is one of my “magic” powers.  

Before we get to any magic, might I advise a couple of different routes you may not be considering?  I always like to take a real world approach before handing out any spells.  I am not an old lady by any means, but I have learned a thing or two, and I think I might be able to help.  (Whether you like this type of advice is entirely up to you, but take it from me: the job market can be tough to navigate and sometimes it helps hearing this kind of advice from someone who has been down that road.)

1.  Have you recently updated/revised your resume and cover letter?  Seriously, sometimes people do not hire you based on the content in your cover letter.  The wording could be off-putting, it could be too long (or too short), it could be not informative enough.  Cultivating your cover letter and resume is like crafting a spell; it needs to be worded correctly, express who you are as an employee in a concise manner, and make you seem as hireable as possible.  (You could also put a sigil on your cover letter and resume without anyone ever knowing using invisible ink or printing in white.) . A great website for formatting your cover letter and resume to make it look like THE BOMB DOT COM is CVMKR.

2.  Have you applied for every available job, including the ones that you may think you are “above”?  Listen, I have a BFA in Photographic Imagery; I didn’t exactly choose the most profitable and available field in the world.  I loved every bit of time I spent in college learning about art (and other various topics) and I am incredibly proud of what I accomplished.  I am still very passionate about my work, but the fact of the matter is that dream jobs are incredibly hard to come by.  There were plenty of times I had to suck up my pride and apply at places I thought I was too good for.  That includes fast food chains and restaurants, data entry, and even sales positions for companies I knew were absolute bullshit (the sales companies, not everything else.)  It took me years of gaining experience, freelancing, working for next to absolutely nothing, and busting my ass to get to where I am today.  So, if you haven’t gone down to McDonald’s or Walmart, you might want to lace up your boots and get to walking.  Money is money anyway you slice it, even if it means working at a place you aren’t necessarily are proud of.  I know that seems like tough love, but it is true.

My dad once told me, “You only get out of life what you put into it.”  I put in hours upon hours of literal blood, sweat, and tears, sleepless nights, going hungry and almost being homeless, paying thousands upon thousands of dollars back to student loans, and I have only JUST gotten what I would consider to be a dream job.  I believed in what I was doing every day.  I got up even when I didn’t want to.  You just have to keep trying, even when things seem grim.

3.  There are quite a few spells involving careers and money.  I am going to refer you to @urbanspellcraft and @flowing-to-the-ocean’s spells.  I trust their work to help you along the way, but just know that magic can only take you so far.  In the amount of time you would spend working during an average work day (8+ hours), you need searching and applying for jobs, calling employers for interviews, and going to temp agencies.  If not, you won’t find a job.  Take it from me, as someone who spent the better part of a decade struggling to find a career and finally–FINALLY–got her dream job.  You can do it, you just have to try.

Trans girls playing Pokemon go

Gel ice packs work instead of foam or breastplates and they’re not as hot

If your hair is long enough, you can tie it back to cool down and leave the part in front of the ears down if you need to cover your jawline

Loose fitting athletic shorts are naturally baggy and everyone wears them

Wearing just concealer and setting powder isn’t enough to visibly sweat off

To deal with the Adam’s apple you can apply darker makeup to places where the sun hits it and move your head downwards slightly when swallowing to hide the movements

If you feel unsafe going somewhere it’s completely normal to abruptly turn around when you’re looking at your phone people are used to seeing Pokemon go users

When you’re outside and it’s hot as fuck people aren’t likely to scrutinize you so don’t worry about hiding everything seamlessly

Stay safe and have fun
