Making Clothes Last 1. Start With Quality While I don’t recommend buying overly expensive brand-name garments, it’s always a good idea to  purchase quality clothing . By spending more on quality pieces that never go out of style, you create a solid base wardrobe with longevity in mind. You can then add in cheaper, trendier pieces for a season or two without feeling guilty. Those quality investment pieces last longer thanks to thicker fabrics and better construction.

The   kidneys   are a pair of bean-shaped organs on either side of your   spine , below your ribs and behind your belly. Each kidney is about 4 or 5 inches long, roughly the size of a large fist.  The kidneys' job is to filter your   blood . They remove wastes, control the body's fluid balance, and keep the right levels of   electrolytes . All of the blood in your body passes through them several times a day.  Blood   comes into the kidney, waste gets removed, and salt,   water , and   minerals   are adjusted, if needed. The filtered blood goes back into the body. Waste gets turned into   urine , which collects in the kidney's pelvis -- a funnel-shaped structure that drains down a tube called the ureter to the   bladder . What are signs that something is wrong with my kidneys? A change in how much you urinate. Pee that is foamy, bloody, discolored, or brown. Pain while you pee. Swelling in your arms, wrist...
