Even if your eyelashes are naturally curled, you should go about curling them regularly. Eyelashes are the natural frame of your eyes, and curling them will attract more attention to that part of your face. Curled lashes will also increase the wideness of your eyes. Using an eyelash curler, start at the base of your lashes and hold the curler for three seconds. Don't curl for any longer than that, as you'll risk hurting your lashes. Circle contacts function like regular contacts, but they intentionally cover part of the whites as well increasing the apparent size of your irises. This results in a doe-like appearance comparable with Japanese anime. Although circle contacts are popular predominantly in East Asia, you can order them online. They cost between $20-30 a pair, and can be purchased in prescription brands as well. LensCircle is one place to purchase them. Circle contact lenses have been associated with risks and significant injuries, including blindness. They're also currently unapproved by the FDA. There hasn't been a significant amount of empirical research on the subject however, and the perceived risks may simply be fear mongering, but the potential issues should be kept in mind if you decide to look into them. Thick prescription glasses have an effect of visibly shrinking eyes through the lens. If you wear a heavy prescription, simply taking off your glasses will make a huge difference. Contacts are barely noticeable by contrast, and are relatively easy to adjust to. If you have the money for it, laser eye surgery can correct your vision issue permanently. A smaller set of lenses will also help to reduce the issue.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Rízate las pestañas. Utiliza lentes de contacto cosméticas. Quítate las gafas.


Even if your friend did something bad to you, don’t talk badly about them to your mutual friends.  Never make your friends pick between the two of you, as this will put them in an impossible situation, and you might find that they won’t choose you.  Say instead “I want you to know that you don’t have to choose sides.  I have been friends with you for a while, too and I really want to maintain our friendship.” Make it clear that you don’t want to see your former friend so your mutual friends can take it into account when planning parties or other events. Improve from what you learned at the end of this friendship. Though your friend may be to blame, acknowledge any role that you played, as well. You can learn a lot from both your own mistakes and those of your former friend. Work to be a better friend and choose better friends in the future.  However, don’t beat yourself up about the mistakes you made. Learn from them, and move on. Ask others for their perspectives on the friendship. They might be able to offer a more objective view, and this can teach you even more. Always be loyal and honest with your friends. Ending a friendship can be difficult, but it often comes with positives, too. For example, maybe you are now free to pursue interesting activities that you couldn’t before. Though you likely had many mutual friends, spend some time with those that you did not have in common.  Though you should not forsake your mutual friends, they will serve as strong reminders of the friendship that you lost, and that could delay the healing process. Connect with family, as well. Though being around people during this time is good, spending time alone will be instrumental in your healing.  Avoid making plans with people every single day, and opt for every other day instead.

TL;DR in Spanish:

No hagas que los amigos que tienes en común con tu examigo escojan. Toma esta pérdida como una lección. Busca el lado positivo. Pasa tiempo con tus otros amigos. Recuerda pasar tiempo solo.


Even if your hands feel like silly putty and your heart is racing, just act like the coolest person in the world. Walk with your head high and a big smile on your face, and don't tell anyone how nervous you are. Maintain this posture when you get on the stage and you'll actually start to feel confident.  Look straight ahead instead of down at the floor. Don't slouch. Come up with a fail-proof ritual for the day of your performance. This could be a three-mile (five kilometer) jog on the morning of your performance, the same "last meal" before your performance, or even singing a certain song in the shower or putting on your lucky socks. Do whatever it is you have to do to gear yourself toward success. A lucky charm is a great part of a ritual. It could be a piece of jewelry that's important to you, or a silly stuffed animal that cheers you on from your dressing room. Focus on all of the amazing results of your presentation or performance instead of everything that can go wrong. Combat every negative thought with five positive ones. Keep an index card with motivational phrases in your pocket, or do whatever you need to do to focus on all of the benefits that the performance will give you instead of honing in on all of the fear and anxiety that you may be feeling. If you have a friend who is a knockout performer, whether it's from stage acting or giving presentations, ask for their advice. You may learn some new tricks and will be comforted by the fact that almost everyone gets stage fright, no matter how confident he or she may appear on stage.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Demuestra falsa confianza. Crea un ritual. Piensa positivamente Pídele consejos a un actor o actriz profesional.


Even if your heels are a perfect fit for you, stiff materials like leather need to be broken in first. Try wearing your heels around the house for short spurts at a time – an hour here, an hour there. Doing this also gives you the chance to practice walking around in your new heels before venturing out. Avoid buying a brand new pair of heels and immediately wearing them to the office for 8 hours straight. You’ll definitely end up with soreness! As you're breaking in your new heels around your house, take note of where the shoes are rubbing or hurting your feet. One of the most common areas to feel pain is the ball of the foot. Buy cushion inserts to counteract this. If the shoes are rubbing your skin raw on your heels or under your ankles, try rub relief strips. These provide padding between your foot and the shoe. These products can be purchased at shoe stores, big box stores, and online. Stilettos are notoriously painful, but they don’t have to be! The key is not wearing them every single day. For most days, opt for a chunkier heel that provides better support and balance. The thicker heels are also less likely to cause painful ankle wobbling. Save your gorgeous 4-inch red stilettos for occasional wear. Shoes with thin, flimsy soles will cause the bottom of your feet to hurt pretty quickly. There’s just not enough cushion between your foot and the hard ground. Opt for heels that have thicker soles, like platform heels. Thick soles will keep the bottoms of your feet cushioned and protected. Whenever you have a few private moments to yourself during the day, kick those heels off under your desk! Wiggle your toes around, then point them down and flex them back. Slip the strap of your bag under your toes and pull back on the strap for a deeper stretch into the calf muscle. Rotate your ankles slowly. If you’re concerned that a new pair of heels may cause you pain, don’t force yourself to suffer through it. Bring your comfy black ballet flats or another cute pair with you as a backup. If the pain gets to be a...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ablanda los tacones nuevos en casa antes de llevarlos en público. Invierte en almohadillas y tiritas antifricción. Elige tacones gruesos en lugar de usar tacones de aguja la mayoría de los días. Elige tacones con suelas gruesas. Haz descansos frecuentes a lo largo del día para estirar los pies. Lleva contigo un par de zapatos planos de refuerzo.


Even if your refrigerator has an egg compartment in the door, you should store the carton of eggs in the main body of the appliance.  The door is warmer than the main body, so the eggs won't be preserved as well when stored in the door. Eggs will rattle and shake when you open and close the door if you store them there. Even though the shells may not break, the walls of the yolk and white can weaken. When you need to crack eggs, do so by tapping them against a flat surface. Do not tap them against the side of a bowl. This method reduces the risk of getting eggshell into the mix. Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with cold water. Heat the pan on your stove and remove it as soon as the water starts to boil. Finish cooking the eggs in this hot water.  Use the smallest pan possible. The eggs should fit in one layer, but there should not be much room for them to slide around. Heat the saucepan with the lid on over the highest heat setting. Keep the eggs in the hot water for six minutes if you want them soft-boiled, 8 minutes for medium-boiled, and 17 to 19 minutes for hard-boiled. Instead of scrambling eggs over direct heat, use indirect heat to create creamy eggs instead of grainy ones.  Lightly whisk together the eggs and a little dairy. Use milk, cream, and butter to give the eggs a rich flavor. For four eggs, 2 Tbsp (30 ml) milk, 2 Tbsp (30 ml) cream, and 1 Tbsp (15 ml) softened butter should suffice. Set a saucepan of water over the stove and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Place a separate bowl over the saucepan and pour your egg mixture inside. Stir the egg mixture continually until it thickens like a custard and forms solid lumps. This process should take about 15 minutes.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Almacena los huevos en la parte principal del refrigerador. Rompe los huevos sobre una superficie plana. Hierve los huevos sin hervirlos realmente. Revuelve los huevos en un baño maría.


Even if your spouse was reluctant to discuss their need to wear diapers at first, always welcome conversation if she wants to talk about it or anything else. Open communication sows trust and may help bolster your relationship as well as increase your understanding of your spouse.  Remember that your willingness to support your partner can make their incontinence or their fetish easier to handle for both of you. Keep the conversation as light as possible. Don’t be accusatory or try an push your spouse into something that they don't want. Compose a list of each other’s feelings and concerns to help you get through incontinence or a fetish together. Ask your partner the ways in which you can best support them. For example, say “Is there some specific way I can help you? Do you want me to get supplies for you?” In many cases, someone who is wearing a diaper may isolate themself out of embarrassment. Engaging your spouse and getting them to go out with you can boost their confidence and help them more effectively cope with wearing diapers.  Make dinner reservations at a favorite restaurant or go to the movies together. You can also make plans with friends or family at a place your spouse enjoys. Keeping your plans and routine as normal as possible may help your spouse forget about the diapers and realize that they don’t have any great impact on their ability to lead an active and fun life. Many people suffering from incontinence can have accidents that cause leakage or damage clothing or furniture. Being prepare with supplies or cleaning products may help put your spouse’s mind at ease and minimize their embarrassment.  Carry extra diapers or a change of clothing with you when you go out. Place towels or disposable pads on your bed or furniture to help minimize damage to your home. Place a commode near the bedroom to help your spouse at night if necessary. Some forms of incontinence may respond to dietary changes. Avoiding certain foods and adding more fiber and water to your diet may help relieve the symptoms of...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantén la comunicación abierta. Dedícale tiempo a tu cónyuge. Prepárate para los accidentes. Realiza cambios en su dieta. Haz que tu cónyuge se sienta seguro constantemente. Recibe terapia. Forma parte de un grupo de apoyo. Disfruta de un tiempo a solas.


Even if you’re feeling super nervous about asking her, showing little bits of confidence will help you do a better job and may even influence her answer. Stand or sit up straight when you ask, and speak in a clear voice without mumbling or being too quiet. By pretending to be confident even when you don’t feel it on the inside, you’ll come across as much more self-assured. Give yourself a pep talk beforehand, reminding yourself that no matter what she says you’re an awesome person who deserves someone. Even though she already knows you like her, she’ll want to hear about your feelings directly from you. Be honest and let her know that you really like her, adding on a compliment or two if desired to make the statement more heart-felt.  It’s best to tell her how you feel about her in person, making eye contact to avoid seeming shy or uncertain. Instead of just saying, "I like you," you can make it sound more natural by saying something like, "I really like your personality and how much you care about other people." If you’re worried about finding the right words to ask her out or messing up, try planning out what you want to say before you ask her. You can write down what you want to say and practice it in a mirror, or just spend a few moments thinking about how you want to ask her before actually doing it. You might say something like, “I think you’re a really kind and creative person, and I’d love to get to know you more. Would you want to go on a date with me?” Being asked out while you’re in front of your friends or family members can make the situation more uncomfortable. Find a moment when she’s not surrounded by others to ask her out so she won’t feel awkward or watched.  If you’re with other people, pull her aside nicely so that you’re not right next to other people who can hear what you’re saying. Ask her to go on a walk with you to ask her privately, or ask her while the two of you are studying. Sometimes the thought of telling someone how you feel and asking them out in person is just too...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Confía en ti mismo. Sé abierto al expresar tus sentimientos. Piensa en lo que quieres decirle con anticipación para sentirte más preparado. Invítala en persona cuando esté sola. Escríbele una carta o nota para entregársela, en el caso de que te sientas muy nervioso como para preguntarle en persona. Planifica ideas para hacer juntos si acepta tu invitación. Acepta sus sentimientos, ya sea que diga que sí o que no.


Even if you’re not the most outgoing person, make an effort to introduce yourself to your neighbors. It can be as simple as greeting them if you pass them on the sidewalk or waving hello when you’re doing lawn maintenance. Developing relationships with your neighbors is mutually beneficial for fostering trust and friendship with the goal of making your community a better, safer place to live. Block parties are a great way to get out and meet your neighbors. Offer to host a cookout or potluck during summer months to bring community residents together in a relaxing atmosphere. Building community is important to make sure everyone in your neighborhood is familiar with one another and is aware of the community’s safety goals. Aside from safety, community building can help neighbors build friendship and make the neighborhood a pleasant, inclusive place to live. Community building initiatives like National Night Out, held every August, are great ways to move out into your community to meet and engage with your neighbors and local law enforcement. It is helpful to know what initiatives the police are implementing to fight crime in your neighborhood. If your community members can help watch for and report potentially suspicious activity to law enforcement, this builds a relationship between your neighborhood and the police. These relationships help deter crime by employing a “brother’s keeper” strategy for community safety. Simply seeing residents outside and active in their communities is sometimes enough to deter potential criminals. Empty streets with residents who keep to themselves will have the opposite effect.  Going for a jog or walk around your neighborhood, reading a book on your front porch, or working in your garden are great examples of how to be present in your neighborhood. Don't limit your focus on community safety to only crime reduction. Community safety is a comprehensive goal that also includes accessibility for children, the elderly, and those with disabilities. For example, crumbling sidewalks...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Conoce a tus vecinos. Participa en una iniciativa de desarrollo comunitario. Conoce acerca de la policía de tu localidad. Pasa tiempo al aire libre. Prioriza el acceso a todos los residentes.


Even if you’re not very athletic, it’s important to get some exercise each day. This will help exercise the muscles in your feet to prevent cramping. It also helps improve poor circulation, which is another cause of foot cramps.   Walking is a great way to exercise to prevent foot cramps. Make sure your choice of exercise involves your legs and feet. For example, don’t simply choose weight lifting for your arms and shoulders. If it’s difficult to support your weight while standing, try swimming or water aerobics. and feet regularly. Cramps are muscles spasms, which means that the muscles are clenching involuntarily. Stretching the muscles out helps to ease and prevent this. Develop a simple stretching routine and practice it regularly.   Incorporate yoga into your exercise regimen. Take a class or follow a video at home at least twice a week. Do plantar flexion or calf raises. For this exercise, stand with your feet shoulder width apart and then rise up onto your toes. Hold for a few seconds and then slowly lower your heels back to the ground. Include dorsi flexion or toe lifts. For this exercise, keep your legs straight and bring your toes up towards your calf. Hold in this position for about 30 seconds and then release. Do ankle circles. Extend your leg and then begin rotating your foot around. After about 30 seconds, begin rotating your foot in the opposite direction. For some people, foot cramps signal that they need to up their activity level. However, if you’re extremely active, foot cramps may be a sign that you’re actually overdoing it. Make sure you’re exercising in a way that is healthy and safe, or you could develop an injury.  If you’re new to exercise, increase the length of your workout by 10% per week. Look for other signals that your body is fatigued. Do you feel lightheaded after a workout? Are you very sore the next day? Make sure to rest and take it easy when you need to. When you sweat, you don’t just lose water. You also sweat out important minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ponte una meta de ejercicio razonable. Estira las piernas Evita la fatiga. Reemplaza los minerales perdidos.


Even if you’re planning on telling a scary story that you’ve made up, you can benefit from reading other scary stories. You can find great collections of scary stories at your local library or even online.  Forums like Reddit No Sleep or Reddit Ghost Stories are great sources for frightening tales.  One way to create your own scary story is to use another story as a template and then change the details to fit your location — for example, instead of “at a scary house somewhere” you can name a spooky-looking house in your city and say that you heard about something that happened there. Tailor it to where you’ll be and what you’ll be doing. If you’re having a sleepover at your house, an effective scary story would be one that takes place in a house late at night. The more things your scary story has in common with where you are and who you’re with, the scarier it will be. Don’t just write a story down and then hope you can remember it well enough to tell it — and definitely don’t read from a book or piece of paper. Telling the story from memory will engage your listeners and have the strongest effect. You might even want to record yourself telling the story so that you can get a sense of how you sound and (if you have a video camera/smart phone with video function) look while telling the story. You don’t want to just start telling a spooky story in the middle of a busy cafeteria at lunchtime; scary stories are best told late at night amongst small groups of people. Before telling your story, you can build it up by acting a bit nervous and afraid before you start telling it. You can say that you want to tell your listeners something, but you’re nervous to because it scares you.  You can say that you don’t like to think about it because when you do, you get bad dreams and feel uneasy in the days following it, but it’s a good story so you’ll try to share it. You can even look behind you uneasily, or glance from side to side nervously. Don’t be too obvious in your attempts to build intrigue, or it’ll come off as...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lee historias de terror. Ensambla tu historia de terror. Practica tu historia. Elige el momento adecuado. Aumenta la intriga. No exageres. Cuenta la historia. Haz que el final valga la pena.


Even if you’ve done this 100 times, you might still get nervous about using a needle. Calm your nerves by listening to some nice music, doing deep breathing exercises, meditating, lighting aromatherapy candles, or giving yourself some positive affirmations like, “I’m in charge of my health and I take great care of myself!” Hold the pen in your dominant hand with your fingers curled around the pen, the needle pointing down, and your thumb hovering over the dosing button. With your other hand, pinch about 1 ½ inches of the area of skin you are going to inject so it is gently pulled up higher than the skin around it.  Do not squeeze your skin hard, which can interfere with the injection. Insert the needle into the pinched skin at a 90° angle to your body. Do not jab yourself hard, but insert the needle quickly and make sure the needle is all the way into your skin. Let go of the skin you are pinching with the needle still in place. Press the dosing knob all the way down, until the 0 lines up with the dose arrow. Hold the needle in place for 10 seconds.  Keep the dose button pushed down until you remove the needle. Remove the needle quickly, pulling straight out of the skin. Don’t massage the place you just injected yourself. If there is tenderness or a bit of blood, dab it gently with a tissue. Put the large needle cap carefully on the needle. Twist the covered needle to unscrew it. Throw the used needle away in a sharps container. If you don’t have a sharps container, use an alternate hard container for old needles such as an empty aspirin bottle or laundry detergent bottle. Store opened insulin pens at a controlled room temperature. Store unopened insulin pens in a refrigerator. Be sure to keep your pen in a safe place that children and pets cannot access. It is good practice to keep your pen in the same place every day so you always know where to find it. Do not expose insulin to very hot or cold weather conditions or direct sunlight. If your insulin pen is exposed to these conditions, then discard it....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Cálmate si estás nervioso. Prepárate para inyectarte la insulina. Inyecta la insulina. Retira la aguja utilizada. Guarda el bolígrafo apropiadamente. Desecha la insulina vencida.


Even in high school, you can take certain classes that will prepare you for plumbing. A number of high schools offer vocational training for upperclassmen. Ideal courses would be in plumbing and heating. You can still prepare yourself by enrolling in classes in math, physics, and computer technology. You may also want to take classes in drafting and blueprint reading, if your school offers them. You’re required to complete high school or get your GED to enroll in vocational training and apprenticeships. People working in your school’s career center may have connections and available programs for you. Take advantage of the resources available to you. Survey the available community colleges in your area. Depending on the school, you may be able to attend any state community college.  Pick a school that has a program that specializes in plumbing.  Some schools offer one year vocational degrees while others offer a two associate's degree. If you’re unsure about the options available, talk to your high school’s counseling services. Certain high schools have resources for advising and contacting colleges. Once you find a plumbing program at a trade school,  technical or community college, you’ll need to sign up for classes. You'll earn a certificate that covers water supply and drainage systems, as well as piping equipment.  It is not necessary to get a degree in plumbing, but many companies and state agencies prefer it. Not all plumbers get their vocational training in this manner. Depending on the school you decide on, you might be able to take courses that specialize in niche areas of study. There is a major shift towards water conservation today and many businesses want plumbers who specialize in this.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Toma las clases pertinentes. Obtén tu diploma de escuela secundaria o diploma de equivalencia general (GED). Investiga sobre clases de educación superior. Inscríbete en capacitación profesional. Lleva programas de especialidad.


Even in high-demand housing markets, advertising your availability is helpful. You want potential tenants to find out what apartment(s) you have, and how to get in touch with you about renting. Easy ways to advertise include:  Posting availabilities on Internet classified sites Creating listings on apartment search websites Creating your own website and social media accounts to describe your rental(s) Asking a property management company or real estate agent to advertise for you To ensure that you find tenants that won’t break the law or conduct illegal activities out of the property, you should run a background check on each applicant. Also, obtain a credit report for each applicant so you can determine if they are likely to be able to afford the rent payments and make them on time.  Do an eviction search to find out if the applicant has been evicted before. Check the addresses on their application to make sure they match up with the applicant’s credit history report. Fair housing laws dictate that you cannot discriminate against tenants based on race, sex, sexual orientation, etc. However, you should screen applicants to ensure that they are financially able to rent your property, and likely to take good care of it. Your criteria should be the same for all applicants, and keep records. Screening can include:  Asking for references (previous landlords, and personal references if necessary) Verification of income (like a recent pay stub) to show tenants will be able to meet the rent level This protects you and your tenants, since everyone will have a clear record of requirements. The rental agreement or a separate set of rules can create good relations by specifying things like how much notice you will give tenants before entering the home for inspections. Likewise, if there are any shared areas, like a grill area or clubhouse, post rules for proper use. Tenants have a right to live in an apartment that is safe and functional. Ask your tenants to let you know as soon as possible if a pipe bursts, a ceiling...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Anuncia las propiedades desocupadas. Revisa sus antecedentes y solicita un informe de crédito de los solicitantes. Elige buenos inquilinos. Asegúrate de establecer normas claras. Haz rápidamente las reparaciones o actualizaciones necesarias. Préstales atención a los inquilinos. Presenta una demanda cuando sea necesario.


Even more importantly, shop for school-appropriate outfits that you love. You don’t need a walk-in closet stocked with dozens of outfits to dress cutely for school. Just find some staple, go-to pieces that fit into your school’s dress code and make you feel confident. If you’re short on cash, you can find deals at discount clothing stores like TJ Maxx, Plato’s Closet, Ross, and Marshall’s. You don’t need to spend a fortune to get cute clothing. When you're rubbing sleep from your eyes and dashing to catch the bus, you won’t have time to play around with outfit ideas. Instead, lay out your clothes the night before. You can spend the time before bed trying on different combinations, checking out your angles in the mirror, and finding the perfect accessories. This will help you have a stress-free morning. This also will help you avoid any unexpected wardrobe malfunctions. If you have to dress up for a class presentation, you don’t want to discover a stain on your favorite dress that morning. By finding an issue that night before, you can at least find a great back up! This is especially helpful for anyone with a very strict school dress code or uniform. If you can’t do much with your clothing, work with accessories. A fun pair of shoes, a new bracelet, or a great pair of glasses can transform your whole look, and self-esteem, for the day. The same outfit can look completely different simply by pairing it with a scarf, statement necklace, or fun belt. You can find great accessories for low prices at places like Target or Walmart. If you shop at cheaper places, you can get more pieces to add a ton of variety to your wardrobe. A quick search of “school outfit ideas” will turn up more results than you’ll know what to do with. When you’re feeling bored with your current wardrobe or unsure about how to dress up a certain piece, you can search keywords on Pinterest or Google to see how other fashionistas styled it. You can learn about new trends or get inspired to create adorable outfits for school. Before you throw...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra la ropa adecuada para ir a la escuela. Elige tu atuendo la noche anterior. Combina los accesorios. Inspírate en Pinterest o en otros blogs de moda.


Even moreso than a formal analysis of music getting a full emotional reaction requires you really invest yourself in listening. Find a time and place you won't likely be distracted, and put on the song. Let yourself focus in on the mood of the song. Listen carefully to the lyrics if there are any. While you're listening to the music, try to figure out how the artist was feeling when he wrote the song. Giving your heart and mind over to the music will make it a lot easier to communicate your own personal response to the material. Listening with headphones is usually the preferable mode of listening intently; it helps to block out all external sound, and you'll be able to pick details out of the mix more clearly. Music journalists and reviewers make it their business to describe music in ways that sound fiercely descriptive and appealing-- or unappealing. Music reviews have become a very helpful outlet in the internet age, and you can usually read many reviews about the most obscure albums. Reading some of them may give you a better understanding of how to describe music yourself. The webzine Pitchfork is often recommended in this respect, but the pompous style of writing is not for everyone. More specialized and underground outlets like Heathen Harvest Periodical or Prog Sphere Magazine may offer better examples of descriptive writing. Music reviews are also found in print form. Newspapers will often include them alongside film reviews. You can also buy music books that will focus specifically on a band, scene or genre. Actively visualizing the music you are listening to ties in with intent focus. If you're looking for interesting ways of describing the music, it's a good idea to meditate and imagine the music scoring a scene to an imagined film inside your head. The process of actively visualizing music may seem obtuse at first if you're not used to it, but it can otherwise be a great way of appreciating music without distractions. For example: If the music is sad, you might visualize rain or images of death...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escucha la música atentamente. Lee críticas musicales. Intenta visualizar la música. Emplea metáforas y lenguaje poético. Compara la canción con otras canciones que has escuchado.


Even nicer leggings can make a more casual and playful statement, so before you plan your next trip to the office with your brand-new leggings, check out your work environment to see if it's appropriate. Check out to see if other people in your workplace wear leggings or skirts that could be paired with leggings. There's nothing wrong with cotton leggings, but if you need to dress up for work, you should try wearing leggings that are made of suede, leather, or even dark denim. Having a variety of leggings to choose from will help you mix and match more fantastic work outfits.  Remember the rule about not wearing leggings instead of pants. If you wear leather leggings and just a top to work, you will look unprofessional and may embarrass yourself, depending on wear you work. If you just can't give up your cotton leggings, stick to black for work. Stick to mostly black or at least solid-colored leggings in the workplace. If you wear patterned lacy black leggings, you may look too trashy for the workplace. Funky-patterned leggings can be fun for after work, but they are too playful for a work environment. If your leggings have subtle tiny polka dots running over dark material and they almost look solid, that can be an exception. If you wear a fancy top, it can help play up your leggings and make them look more fancy and appropriate for work. Here are some tops that you can wear over the leggings:  Wear a tailored jacket over a simple shift dress and pair it with cotton leggings. Wear a loose top and a solid-color skirt with your leggings. Make sure the skirt doesn't fall too high above your knee to avoid looking too provocative. The loose top should be fancy enough to tie the whole look together. If you have a long, thick sweater that falls below your fingertips, you may be able to pull it off with leggings. Wear a belt around the sweater and high boots that match the sweater. To pull this look off at work, the sweater has to look really nice. Sandals look great with leggings but aren't acceptable for most work...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de que el código de vestuario de tu trabajo permita llevar mallas. Utiliza mallas de materiales de vestir. Evita las mallas estampadas. Combina tus mallas con un top bonito. Combina tus mallas con un jersey largo. Ponte unos zapatos que combinen con las mallas. Cambia tus mallas habituales por unas mallas estilo jeans para los viernes en los que se admita un estilo más informal.


Even once you decide to sort by category, there's still a bit of wiggle room. Your categories can be whatever you choose -- aisle, product type, or how often you buy. Examples include "dairy/frozen," "paper products/cleaning products" and a category dedicated to drinks and snacks. This method used to organize coupons allows you to focus on a specific category of products if your trip to the store is for a few items only. If your coupons are in order by aisle, you are less apt to forget important items on your list. Think about how you meander through the store as you organize. If you have a bunch of stores you frequent, this may be the method for you. if you sit down on Sunday mornings with the newspaper, it's pretty easy to grab each store's ad and file away accordingly. Generally this method should only be used if the number of stores you frequent is greater than the coupons you use at each store. If not, you'll wind up with 50 coupons in each section and have to sift through them to get to the ones you want. You can do this either by brand name or by product type. This can be easy to flip through if you're shopping for a specific product. However, this also may be a bit more difficult if you have a lot of coupons on your hands. You also may need a lot more tabs. If you try this method, you may need to refine your system by adding more space for the common letters and take out the tabs that don't get used. If you want to get the most bang for your buck, you'll want to use every coupon before it expires. Organizing by expiration date may help you plan meals in addition to saving money. The main downside to this system is that sometimes expiration dates are long into the future. Your coupons will stack up and you may be looking at months and months and stacks and stacks of coupons. Whether it is nobler in the binder to include the width and length of the entire sheet or to take scissors against the border of the sales and by cutting make them smaller. Some couponers swear that filing away the entire insert...

Even over-the-counter (OTC) treatments may interfere with certain health and medical conditions, so it’s a good idea to consult with your doctor or a pharmacist before using them.  If you have allergies, medical conditions, take medications, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, always consult your doctor before starting any treatment process. Do not use treatments on children without consulting a pediatrician first. Treating scalp eczema in children is a different process and is covered in its section of this article. There are various over-the-counter shampoos and oils to treat scalp eczema. Over-the-counter treatments are natural first-line treatments that are used before seeking out prescribed shampoos. You can also use them daily over an extended period. These OTC shampoos are not approved for use on children! Use them only on adult scalp eczema. Regardless of the kind of shampoo you use, there are some general instructions you can use to wash your hair with any of the shampoos or oils. Scrubbing your scalp too vigorously or using shampoos that contain alcohol can make your scalp eczema worse.  First, rinse your hair with warm (not hot) water. Apply the treatment shampoo thoroughly on your scalp and hair, massaging it gently into your scalp. Do not scrub or scratch your scalp. This could cause the scales to bleed or even become infected. Leave the medication on for the amount of time recommended on the package. Typically, you need to keep it on for at least 5 minutes. Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm (not hot) water and dry with a clean towel. Coal tar shampoo can be harmful if swallowed. Avoid getting it into your eyes or mouth. Some treatments, such as ketoconazole shampoo, may be more effective when you alternate them with a different scalp product twice a week. This shampoo kills the yeast that is potentially responsible for many cases of scalp eczema. If you kill the yeast, your skin will have a chance to heal without increased dryness, inflammation, or itchy scales.  Common side effects include...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Primero habla con el doctor o el farmaceuta. Usa un medicamento de venta sin receta. Lávate el cabello adecuadamente. Lávate el cabello con un champú con sulfuro de selenio. Aplícate un producto a base de aceite del árbol de té en el cabello. Masajea tu cuero cabelludo con aceite de huevo. Usa un champú con piritiona cíncica. Usa un champú con ácido salicílico. Usa una solución con ketoconazol. Aplícate miel pura en el cabello. Usa un champú con alquitrán.


Even the most careful crafters have spills, so make sure to protect the table or floor you are working on. You’ll be working with acrylic paint, which is water-based and pretty easy to clean if you do spill.Who wants to clean though?  On that note, you should probably change into some work clothes too. It is preferable to set up your painting station somewhere out of the way, because it takes several days to fully complete a pot. The primers, paints, and sealers all need hours to dry, so set up your supplies somewhere you can leave them for at least 48 hours. This will help you peel off any price tags, as well as clean off any marks.Because these pots are often sold at home and garden stores, they might be slightly scuffed or dirty. It’s important to give yourself a clean terracotta canvas before you start your painting.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Extiende periódicos en el lugar de trabajo. Pon la maceta en remojo en agua tibia durante media hora.


Even the most difficult situations likely have some positive and humorous moments. They may not be immediately clear, but being able to recognize them and laugh will help you to lighten up in the long term.  Negative thoughts and attitudes are draining and can reinforce seriousness. Seeking out the positive in any person or situation will help shift lighten up.  Some studies have found that a positive attitude can contribute significantly to success and happiness.  For example, if you fall and scrape your knee, don’t focus on the cut or a tear in your clothing, but learn to laugh at your clumsiness or something else humorous that happened in the situation. Part of being able to find the humor in any situation is having the ability to laugh at yourself. Not only can this help you lighten up and relax, but may also help keep everyone around you relaxed. Being able to see the humor in your imperfections can help you accept yourself and show others that you don’t take yourself too seriously. Having positive, supportive, and humorous people around you who can help cultivate a positive attitude and teach you to lighten up. Surrounding yourself with positive people can also help counteract negativity.  These people don’t necessarily have to agree with everything you do, but they should tell you the truth without judging you in any way.  Positive friends and colleagues not only always have your best interest at heart, but can also help you to learn to trust yourself and in turn not take yourself too seriously. Medical research supports the old truism “laughter is the best medicine.” Exposing yourself to humor through jokes or media such as movies can help relieve stress and not be so rigid and serious. Any type of laughing is good so long as it’s not at someone else’s expense. Consider watching funny movies or TV shows, reading humorous books, or simply seeing a comic to elicit laughs. All of these will give you a chance to relax and lighten up. Meditation is a powerful method to improve focus and relax. Allot a few...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ve el lado humorístico y positivo en todas las situaciones. Ríete de ti mismo. Rodéate de personas positivas, comprensivas y divertidas. Exponte a situaciones divertidas. Establece una práctica diaria de meditación. Siéntate derecho y en calma y cierra los ojos. Haz yoga suave.


Even the most studious college student will need to unwind every now and then. Now is as good an excuse as any to stock up on any CDs, DVDs, or Blu-rays you've had your eye on.  Skip the fancy sound systems, though, since you can get in trouble if you make too much noise and your neighbors file a complaint. Also buy a small TV to watch your movies on. You might love your music, but that does not mean your roommate or your neighbors will love it as much as you do. Headphones are important, so if you do not own any, buy them now. If you invest in noise-canceling headphones, you can also shield your ears from the music and sounds made by other people. If you enjoy reading, purchase a few books you can look forward to reading. Doing so can restore some of the joy of reading that might otherwise get lost amidst all the textbook work. Indoor and outdoor games can help you relieve stress and make friends, so if you do not have any games you can bring along with you to college, buy one or two now.  Board games and card games are a great, inexpensive option. You can also bring a video game console, but do so at your own risk, since this could be stolen if you leave your room unlocked and unattended. Buy supplies for outdoor fun, too, like rollerblades, a frisbee, or a basketball.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lleva películas y música. Consigue un buen par de audífonos. Lleva libros que te guste leer. Compra artículos deportivos.


Even the scent of a dog can frighten away deer. Deer prefer tall grass. So if you want a lot of deer in your yard, you could grow your grass longer. However, they also like a mixture of plant density.  Perhaps you could just grow the grass longer around the property's perimeter. Deer enjoy a mixture of cleared areas, young trees and shrubs that provide cover and aid their diets and mature hardwood forests. They like to be on the edges of forests with a lot of different plants and densities. They often forage in clearings, especially at night, but they like to hide in the daylight in thicker foliage. If you have fences around your yard, deer may not be able to move around your property.  If removing a fence is not possible, you could create an opening within the fence for the deer to pass through. Reduce bright lights and sounds. These things can scare deer, and make them stay away from your property. A lot of human activity on your property also might keep deer away. Deer will be drawn to certain trees and shrubs. If you plant them throughout your property, they will be a natural draw.  Blackberry trees, elderberry, juniper, red cedar, Douglas fir, and flowering dogwood are enjoyed by deer. Plant flowering plants. Deer will like blooming plans and legumes. Pay attention to the edges of your property. Deer often hang out around the edges of properties especially if there is foliage that provides them cover.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de que el área a la cual desees atraer al venado esté libre de mascotas, en particular de perros. Siembra hierbas más altas. Retira las cercas que disuadirían a los venados. Planta árboles y arbustos que los venados adoren.


Even though "nor" is almost always used after "neither," you can use it with other negative expressions and still form something grammatically correct. As an example, "The final guest is not here, nor should we wait for her before we start the festivities," or "He has never gone fishing, nor does he have any desire to learn." When listing more than two objects or actions, separate each item in the list by a comma and precede the final one with “nor.” Do not introduce each separate item in the list with “nor.”  Compare this to the use of “nor” within its correlative neither/nor pair. When used with “neither,” you must say “nor” before each item in a list. When used without “neither,” you should only use “nor” once. Correct example: He has never experienced joy, sadness, nor anger with such passion before.” Incorrect example: He has never experienced joy nor sadness nor anger with such passion before.” There are times when a negative mood in a sentence should be followed through with "or" instead of "nor." If the second part of the negative is a verb phrase—an action—then "nor" is correct.  If the second part of the negative is a noun, adjective, or adverb phrase, however, the initial negative will be carried through the rest of the sentence, making "nor" redundant. In these instances, "or" should be used, instead. Correct example: "He never comes to practice, nor does he listen to the coach." Correct example: "She does not enjoy music or art." Incorrect example: "She does not enjoy music nor art." As a negative conjunction, "nor" is almost always used to connect two thoughts or items in a sentence that has an established negative tense. You can technically use "nor" without using any other negative term, but this is very rarely done.  Using "nor" on its own will usually seem stiff and unnatural. Since it is so rare, many will also think that you are using "nor" improperly. Even though there is no negative element within the sentence, you still need to make sure that the idea expressed after "nor" connects to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa "nor" con otras conjunciones o expresiones de negación. Solo usa "nor" una vez cuando no esté acompañado por su par correlativo. Solo mantén "nor" en una frase verbal. Ten cuidado cuando usas la conjunción "nor" sola.


Even though a burn may be minor, which is a first or second degree burn, it can still need medical attention if it meets certain criteria. If the burns wrap around the entire surrounding tissue of any or several of your fingers, you should seek medical attention as soon as you can. This can restrict the flow of blood to your fingers, which, in extreme cases, could lead to finger amputation if left untreated. You should also seek medical attention if the burn, mild or otherwise, covers your face or neck, a large area of your hands, groin, legs, feet, buttocks, or is above joints. If the burn is minor you can take care of the wound at home. The first step is to clean the burn. To do this remove any clothing that covers the burn and immerse in cold water. Running water over it can damage the skin and may increase the likelihood of scarring or complicating damage. Do not use hot water because it can irritate the burn.  Wash the burn with a mild soap. Avoid using any disinfectants, such as hydrogen peroxide. These can slow healing. If your clothes are stuck to your skin do not attempt to remove them yourself. Your burn is likely more severe than you think and you should seek emergency medical attention. Cut the clothing, except for that attached to the burn, and place cold packs/wrapped ice on the burn and the clothing for up to two minutes After you wash the burn immerse the burned area in cool water for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not use ice or running water because this can cause further damage.  Next, wet a washcloth with cool water and apply it to your burn, but do not rub. Just lay the cloth over the area.  You can prepare the cloth by dampening it in tap water and refrigerating it until cooled. Do not use butter on the wound. It will not help cool the burn off and can actually cause infection. In order to help prevent the burn from becoming infected, you need to take care of it after you cool it off. Apply an antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin or bacitracin with a clean finger or a cotton ball. If the burn is...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ten en cuenta las situaciones que requieren atención médica. Limpia la quemadura. Enfría la quemadura. Evita una infección. Trata el dolor.


Even though it’s rare in men, it’s important to check for breast cancer if you are at high risk or have symptoms. Don’t allow yourself to feel embarrassed or emasculated by taking care of your health, including performing a breast self-exam on yourself. Breast cancer affects both sexes and neither developing the disease nor giving yourself an exam bear any reflection of your masculinity. The most optimal time to perform a breast self-exam is after a warm shower or bath. The warmth smoothes out your skin and makes it easier to perform the exam. Consider doing a preliminary check of your breast tissue while you’re in the shower. You can examine and feel your breasts while you’re showering or bathing. A breast self-exam requires feeling your breast tissues in a thorough and methodical manner. Check each breast individually by using the opposite hand to the breast you want to examine. Work from the outside of your breast by your armpit and feel around the entire breast to ensure you’ve checked every surface of the tissue.  Lie down flat on your bed, the floor, or a table so that your breast tissue is evenly spread out across your chest. Lay your fingers flat on the breast you’re examining. Then firmly press the tissue in small, clockwise circles. Start at the outermost top edge of your breast and spiral the circles in towards your nipple. Use this technique for your entire breast and then repeat the process on the other side. Make sure you are checking your armpits as well. Feel for lumps and bumps during the exam and note where you find them. This can help your doctor more quickly locate them during any subsequent exams. In addition, make sure to closely look at your breast skin during the examination, which can help you identify any other changes such as puckering, dimpling, or scaly skin. Once you’ve thoroughly felt each of your breasts for changes, you should also check your nipples. Look at the skin, feel it with your fingers, and gently squeeze them to see if there is any discharge.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sé seguro de ti mismo. Toma una ducha o un baño tibios. Presiona el tejido mamario. Examínate el pezón.


Even though jewelers are increasingly gaining positions after a formal education, there is a long-established history of jewelers learning their craft through long-term on-the-job experience. Many family-owned local jewelry stores are still in operation, and family members learn key skills of the trade from their parents or relatives. If you do not wish to enter a formal program, talk to your family members, friends, and acquaintances who are in the industry about opportunities in your area. They can guide you to potential openings where you could learn key skills on-the-job. It is possible that the only job opportunities given to you will seem unrelated to jewelry making. However, even a retail position will give you valuable experience and opportunities to learn jewelry craftsmanship. It is important that you leverage any opportunity you are given so that you can learn the skills required for the field. In many cases, the people you speak with in the industry will not have an open position available. That is normal and understandable and has nothing to do with you. Be sure that you maintain your ties with anyone you network with, even if they do not provide you with a job opportunity right now. After all, they might help you out later. In order to effectively maintain and build a professional network, be sure that you:   Write down the names and contact information of any potentially useful person you meet Write thank-you notes to anyone who speaks with you about the industry Ask members of your network out for informational interviews. An informational interview is where you speak with a member of a profession about how to enter it, their own career paths, and any general advice they might have. This is unlike a formal interview, where you are hoping to be given a specific position. If you wish to gain an entry-level position as a jewelry maker without prior experience or certification, you will have to show your potential employer that you have the ability to learn the complicated skills necessary to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aprovecha tus contactos para posiciones. Mantén relaciones en la industria. Demuestra tus habilidades y cualidades generales. Busca trabajos en fábricas de joyas. Pide responsabilidades adicionales.


Even though material gifts aren't the most important thing you can give a person, a carefully selected present can brighten a holiday or birthday. Pay attention to what your friends, family, and significant others enjoy in their daily life and use that knowledge to give them personal gifts.  Think about what food and drinks your friend loves. For example, if your friend is a total coffee lover, you can buy them really quality coffee beans. Think about other things your friend enjoys, like certain books or movies, and come up with gifts that relate to those. You could get them a Princess Bride T-Shirt or a pair of Game of Thrones socks, for example. When you can't think of something personal, go with something classic, like ice-cream or flowers. If giving a gift to a close friend, create a photo collage, make them a CD mix with songs you both love, or write them a poem about your friendship. Making gifts yourself shows you put in effort into the gift giving process, and your friend, teacher, parent, or sibling will definitely appreciate it.  For people you’re not as close to, try making them a candle, baking them cookies, or even knitting them a sweater. You can also give non-material gifts, like an afternoon in the park, a promise to visit your grandfather once a month, or a massage for a romantic partner. This can be a nice way to let people know you were thinking about them on your journey. To make it more special, buy something you know the person will value, like a painting, or get them something they can eat or drink, like tea or coffee. Most people don’t want to accumulate a bunch of random trinkets, so choose something special that you know your friend will enjoy. ” Sometimes there’s nothing better than receiving a gift just because someone thought of you. For instance, if you see a book your friend has been talking about wanting to read, you could buy it for them as a surprise.  Letters, postcards, and care packages are another great “just-because” kind of gift to give someone. Especially if you are...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Even though science fiction usually takes place in the future, you can create sci-fi for any time period. Perhaps you want aliens to invade a small town in the 50s or make a time travel story that goes into the past. Think about what time works best for your story and use it as your setting.  Using the far, far future will give you the most freedom to explore ideas while setting your story in the past will restrict you. If you set a story in the past, make sure to research the time period to see what technology existed, what events were taking place, and how people spoke. Check for what clothing they wore and what customs they followed. Even if your story takes place on a distant planet, take influence from cultures and events here on Earth. This will add more relatability to your story and make the world seem more grounded and real.  For example, The Handmaid’s Tale is a futuristic society, but the themes of treatment of women and slavery come from real culture. Experiment with mixing different cultural practices when creating an alien race. For example, you may blend a nomadic culture that dresses like the Vikings. Even if you want people to fly, you should explain how and why they can. Keep most of your science loosely based in reality so readers have a familiar thing to latch onto. If not, they may get lost in the universe you’re creating.  If you’re introducing new technology that is completely foreign to readers, make sure to describe it in detail so they understand it. For example, The Martian uses real science to send a man to Mars and for how he’s able to survive once he’s stranded. Think about what characters in your story would see, hear, feel, taste, and smell. This will help you create a more vivid setting that readers will imagine the location better and feel like they are a part of it.  Make lists of what your characters would experience when they first arrive in your setting. What sights would they see? Who would be there? For example, if your story takes place in a world where the oceans...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Elige un periodo de tiempo para la historia. Investiga sobre los lugares reales y su historia para así poder incluirlos en tu mundo. Incluye a la ciencia real en el desempeño de tu mundo. Ten en cuenta los 5 sentidos al describir el entorno. Escribe descripciones para cada entorno, así tendrás un conocimiento de ellos.


Even though some stain treatments do require a bit of water, you want the whole shoe to be dry before working. Water makes leather (and thus its cousin, suede) a little more pliable, and weaker. Working on wet shoes can lead to warping or cracking. Only add a touch of water when needed for cleaning; otherwise, work on dry shoes. These simple tools are made to clean suede while still protecting the texture and color, and are invaluable tools for saving suede shoes. Simply rub the eraser gently in a circular motion to lift stains off the shoe, be careful not to scrub violently. When you're done, use a nylon, lint, or suede brush to gently comb the fabric back in the same direction. In general, suede erasers are great for:  Watermarks Salt stains Water-based stains (like juices, drinks, etc). In a pinch, a sturdy pencil eraser will actually work similarly to a suede eraser, though not quite as effectively. Mix in equal parts white vinegar and warm water (1/4 cup of each should be more than enough) and use a sponge or tooth brush to gently wipe away the stain with the mixture. Vinegar also works well for colorful stains, such as wine or chocolate, though it does not help much with mud or oil. If you've spilled some oil on your shoes, you're going to need to adjust your cleaning strategy to save the shoes. Dust the stained area with cornstarch or talcum powder, then let the powder sit overnight. In the morning, take a dry brush and gently wipe away the talcum or cornstarch. You might have to moisten it a bit as well. Finally, use a suede brush to return the nap to its normal direction. Oil stains are notoriously difficult to remove, so know that it may be impossible to remove without ruining the suede. Simply blot away the ink with rubbing alcohol, 91% if you can find it.  Once you've finished, let the shoe dry and use your suede eraser to remove any other issues.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Seca los zapatos por completo antes de atacar a las manchas. Invierte en un borrador para gamuza a fin de eliminar casi todas las manchas y las marcas de agua.

Even though the fries were salted originally, they may need a flavor boost after you reheat them. Purchase or make a seasoned salt blend that will make your fries taste like something that just came out of the restaurant. To make a little container of french fry seasoning, combine:  ¼ cup (68 g) of salt 2 tablespoons (13 g) of paprika 1 tablespoon (7 g) of garlic powder 1 tablespoon (12 g) of garlic salt ½ tablespoon (3 g) of cumin ½ tablespoon (3 g) of ground black pepper ½ tablespoon (1 g) of dried basil ½ tablespoon (1 g) of dried parsley 1 teaspoon (3 g) of chili powder ½ teaspoon (2 g) of celery salt If you don't have access to a stove, oven, or air fryer, you can microwave the fries, but they'll be much softer. To microwave them, drizzle a little vegetable oil over the fries and spread them on a paper towel-lined plate. Microwave them for 20 seconds at a time until the fries are hot. Make day-old french fries more exciting by setting out a few different sauces. You could offer classics like ketchup, ranch, or barbecue sauce, for instance, along with steak sauce or spicy beer mustard. For something even more unique, try:  Chorizo and cheese dip Garlic-herb sour cream dip Aioli Curry sauce

TL;DR in Spanish:

Condimenta las papas fritas antes de servirlas. Evita recalentar las papas fritas en el microondas. Sirve las papas fritas recalentadas con varias salsas para untar.


Even though the recipe is simple, this noodle dish is decadent and filling. Additionally, the ingredients are inexpensive and easy to find at most grocery stores. Therefore, many people like to serve this dish by itself, without any side dishes or toppings. The delicate flavors in buttered noodles pair wonderfully with meaty brown gravy and tender meatballs. To serve this dish, place a pile of noodles in a bowl. Top the noodles with a ladle of gravy and a few juicy meatballs.  Make your own Italian-style meatballs or find precooked meatballs in the freezer section of your local grocery store. Use homemade brown gravy made from pan drippings or quickly mix up a store-bought seasoning package. Any kind of chicken pairs wonderfully with buttered noodles. You can use sliced chicken, shredded chicken, or whole chicken breasts. Additionally, serve the chicken and buttered noodles dry or with a sauce. For example:  Dice some grilled chicken and mix it into the buttered noodles for a protein boost. Serve a filet of parmesan-crusted chicken over a pile of noodles.  Sautee small cutlets of chicken in lemon and butter and mix them into the buttered noodle dish.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Even though there may be some universal dream symbols and motifs, remember that your dreams are unique to your own personality, thoughts, and experiences. A road in your dream might mean something quite different to you than it would to another person. Do not let dream dictionaries obscure your own instincts or ideas. For example, flying dreams generally indicate freedom. However, if you felt anxious or claustrophobic during your flying dream, then pay more attention to your feelings than an entry in a dream dictionary. Where there any images or themes in your journey dream that are meaningful to you? For example, did you travel down a path that resembles where you grew up? Were you wearing your high school uniform? Think about any details that remind you of your childhood, career, or experiences. These might help you determine the meaning behind your dream. Were you happy to meet people during your journey, or did you feel like they were holding you back? Your thoughts and feelings about the people you met on your dream journey might help you figure out how you feel about the people you see in your waking life. For example, if you have to carry an annoying coworker on your back during your dream, that might indicate your frustration about how work tasks are being divided up. Dreams are important ways for people to solve major and minor problems in their lives. Simply dreaming about a topic can help you sort out how you want to proceed. Take a few minutes to list the major problems, dilemmas, or concerns you have in life. Your dream might have clues about your true thoughts and feelings about these problems, and might give you clues as to how to solve them. Sometimes dreams have major significance. Other times, objects appear in dreams simply because you have encountered these objects recently. This is known as "day residue." Feel free to ignore "day residue" in your dream interpretation, unless the residue evoked any significant emotions in you. For example, your dream journey might take you past the...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Repítete que tus sueños son únicos. Identifica los símbolos de importancia personal. Reflexiona sobre lo que has sentido por las personas en tu sueño. Considera si tienes problemas por solucionar. Piensa en las similitudes entre el sueño y tus experiencias recientes. Reflexiona sobre tus próximos recorridos físicos y metafóricos. Anota las preguntas que tu sueño podría posar. Considera los obstáculos que enfrentes en tu trayecto en la vida. Ten en cuenta que el proceso es más importante que la respuesta.


Even though they may be truly terrifying and stick with you, try your best not to worry about them.  Allowing them to cause your more stress and fear will only increase the likelihood of more nightmares in the future.  Try to focus on positive life events instead of fear and worry.  Thinking of a safe space or a loved one will help keep your mind in a positive space. Think of how much better your sleep is becoming now that you are improving it. As much as possible, leave any fears or concerns behind you as you lay down to sleep.  Dwelling on these negative things as you fall asleep will only increase the likelihood of having a bad dream.  As you fall asleep, focus your mind on the rhythm of your breath. Gently and naturally, follow your inhalations and exhalations with your mind. If your mind wanders, refocus on your breath. Focusing on your breath will allow your thoughts to pass by without disturbing your sense of calm. Try not to dwell on any thoughts as you fall asleep.  Let your thoughts pass by without focusing on them or making judgements about them. Throughout the day, pay careful attention to your thoughts.  If you find yourself starting to blow your fears and worries out of proportion, stop.  Catch these thought patterns and instead focus on positive aspects as best you can.  Keeping your problems in perspective will save you unneeded stress. Don't exaggerate any causes of stress, be as objective as you can. If you feel too stressed or find yourself focusing on negativity, try imagining a safe space.  By visualizing a safe space, you can find relief from the source of your anxiety for a time, allowing you to return relaxed and refocused.  Find a real, physical space that you can get comfortable in. Start to imagine your safe space.  Your safe space can be any place at all, real or imagined, that makes your feel secure and relaxed.

Even though things are going well and outwardly the person seems fine, you may have a nagging feeling that something isn't right. Don't ignore that feeling. If you feel like you're not safe, get out of there as quickly as possible.  If you feel that you need to leave, do it – especially if you feel like your personal safety is in jeopardy. Go to the restroom and call a nearby friend to help you. You also may be able to talk to someone who works at the place where you met. Explain the situation to them and they may be able to help you. Before you meet up with the person, have several options in mind that will enable you to get out of the situation quickly if anything happens. Rely on your own transportation as much as possible.  If you have your own car, drive to the meeting and park as close as you can. Don't go anywhere else where the person could isolate you from your transportation. Have a couple of options if you don't have your own car or are relying on public transportation. For example, a taxi, Uber, or Lyft. Always make sure that several people know exactly where you're going and when. Arrange for a friend to check in on you during the meeting so you can let them know if things aren't going well.  Keep your phone on your person at all times, either with the ringer on or on vibrate so you won't miss this text or call. You also can get a friend to drop by and act as though the two of you just ran into each other. Only do this if both of you are able to act through the situation. If the meeting goes really bad, and the person turns out to be someone dangerous, report them to the local police as well as to the social media platform or dating app where you first connected.  If you report their behavior to the website or app, you may be able to get them banned. You also have the option of blocking them so that they cannot see your profile or contact you again.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Confía en tus instintos. Ten una ruta de escape. Ten algún amigo a quien puedas llamar o enviarle un mensaje. Denuncia cualquier comportamiento peligroso o amenazante.


Even though you are seeing each other frequently and going out on dates, the other person can’t be sure of your intentions unless you tell them. Let the person know that you are ready and interested in a relationship. You should also be willing to hear whether they want the same thing or not. For example, you could say “We’ve been going out for a while, and I know that we both enjoy being around each other. I just wanted to let you know that I'm interested in a serious relationship when the time's right for both of us.” Once you agree to be in a relationship, there are certain rules that come with that. The tricky part is that these rules are not the same for every person or couple. You should both sit down and discuss what boundaries you expect to be followed in the relationship.  For example, your partner might be okay with staying friends with exes, while that makes you uncomfortable. Discuss both sides and agree on something that makes you both comfortable. Creating boundaries can help you find a happy medium between what makes you and your partner feel comfortable. For example, you might agree that being friends with exes is okay, but constantly communicating with them is crossing the line. One of the hardest things about a relationship is that both people must be willing to compromise to make it work. That means you will have to do some things that you don’t like, and so will the other person. Keep an open line of communication about the relationship, and make sure that both people are giving and taking.  For example, you might both hate doing dishes and laundry. As a compromise, one of you could do dishes, and the other do laundry. Work to keep your lines of communication open throughout the course of your relationship. Unspoken issues may arise and create even larger problems later on if not addressed.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Exprésale a tu pareja que te interesa tener una relación oficial. Hablen sobre sus límites. Debes estar dispuesto a hacer concesiones.


Even though you discussed things like communication policy before your case started, you need to clarify what you expect in how often you will meet with him or hear from him. You also need to understand that some requests may not be reasonable. It is better to understand how your case will work from the very beginning. This does not have to be fancy, a simple notebook will do. Keep a running diary of every time you talk with your lawyer, instructions you were given (such as producing documents), and any questions or concerns you may have. If you do have an issue with your lawyer, you need to be able to refer to facts, such as missed appointments, rude communication, or anything else that may be bothering you about your case. In a domestic case, also keep a record of every time you speak with the other party, exchange children, and deal with property. There are important times in any case, such as the filing of documents or a major court appearance. Ask your attorney what the milestones of your case will be and when they might occur. There are no guarantees of a timeline, but a competent and engaged attorney can explain the process flow of your case and what to expect. For example, an arraignment will typically be four to six weeks after a first appearance. On the other side, if you are in federal court, it might take six months for the judge to rule on a motion. Ask your attorney how he will communicate changes in the schedule and what delays are common in a case like yours. If you feel like your lawyer isn't being honest with you, check the public record at the courthouse. If your attorney says he has filed a motion or the other side is the one delaying the case, you can see the documents filed by both sides. Most documents can be copied from the public file for a small fee. Once you have copies of the record, you can confront your attorney and ask for an explanation.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Comunica tus expectativas a tu abogado. Lleva un diario de tu caso. Pregunta sobre los hitos en el caso. Revisa los registros públicos.


Even though you may be limiting calories or certain foods, it's important to stay regular with your daily exercise routine.  Exercise is a great way to support weight loss and also help the body sweat out excess fluid.  This may help you feel trimmer and less bloated. Walk 10,000 steps per day.  This is the general recommended amount of activity recommended by health care professionals. If you don't know how many steps you usually walk in a day, buy a pedometer and wear it all day long. Also doing some light strengthen training the day of or before  your event or deadline can help you feel and look toned.  Add in abs, arm, and leg work to help get a defined and toned look.  Do these exercises the day before and day of your event.  You'll notice that your body retains that defined look in the short-term. Exercises you can try: crunches, hanging leg lifts, lunges, squats, bicep curls, lateral raises, and tricep dips.  These exercises cover the basic muscle groups and should provide modest toning. If you're going to be wearing something specific on your "event day" consider the areas of your body that are going to be showing.  For example, if your arms will be showing in a sleeveless dress.  You may want to focus on toning that area more than others. Interval training is a higher intensity cardio exercise that burns a lot of calories.  It will help you sweat out excess water and help support faster weight loss.  Interval training can be:  sprinting or very fast running for one minute followed by three minutes of jogging.  Repeat this cycle a few times for up to 15–20 minutes total. Interval training has also been shown to increase your metabolism and your body's ability to burn calories and fat for up to 24 hours after you've completed the exercise.  This makes it a great activity to include on day one of your diet.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dale seguimiento a los entrenamientos. Haz algunos ejercicios para tonificar. Incorpora el entrenamiento a intervalos el primer día de la dieta.


Even though you may want to disappear into the back of your chair, the other person will only become more offended if you act as if nothing happened. Pointing out an wrongful assumption or biased statement takes courage. Owning up to the mistake may put you back in the person's good graces. Calmly acknowledge the gaffe by saying something like "That was just my opinion. Forgive me for being short-sighted." Then, make a sincere plea to understand the person better. "Would you mind sharing your opinion of X?" This could cause even a greater problem for you. Sometimes, when people realize they've rubbed someone the wrong way, they immediately rush to a defense such as "Oh, I didn't mean that!" Obviously, you wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean it. So, refrain from stating this as it makes you appear hypocritical, like you're jumping from one position to another based on the people around you. While it's important to acknowledge your mistake and try to make amends, please don't go into a long rant of endless apologies. Doing so puts the other person in an awkward position, in which they feel the need to console you - not the other way around. A quick apology can sound like "Geez, I'm sorry to have offended you. My knowledge on this topic appears to be limited. Can you explain it to me so that I can see it from your point-of-view?" Taking this route gets the apology out of the way, but also allows the person to share their expertise - and allows them to see you as a human that made a simple mistake but who can own up to it. This signals to the other person that you are aware of your misstep and giving them - and yourself - time to regain your composure. Excuse yourself and go get a drink, or use the restroom. Take a deep breath and exhale away your embarrassment or anxiety. Remember that you may be viewing the situation larger than the person, so, when you return, act calm and competent. Space may not always be possible, particularly during presentations or job interviews. During such occasions, it's...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Acepta el error con sinceridad y discúlpate. Evita tratar de justificar o cambiar lo que dijiste. Evita disculparte en exceso. Dentro de lo posible, dale a la persona algo de espacio.


Even though you might contribute financially, it isn't the same situation as any other payment for shelter arrangement; your parents are used to things being as they like them, and it all rests on them having funded it in the first place. Treat it like a "first come, first served" policy. Most of all, be willing to share and be ready to compromise quickly on things that you know mean a lot to them and maintain their level of comfort and space.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Comprende que tanto como tus padres te aman, esa sigue siendo su casa.


Even though you're making a relatively small batch of olive oil—only 1 pint (500 ml)—you may need to separate the full batch into three or four parts while working, depending on the size of your equipment. Place the clean olives in a large bowl with relatively shallow sides. Ideally, you should be able to keep the olives in a single layer. For homemade olive oil prepared in your kitchen, it's best to use a bowl or similar dish with sides rather than something completely flat. While the first round of grinding won't produce much liquid, using a bowl will allow you to collect any liquid that does come out more readily than a flat board or stone would.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Trabaja en lotes, según sea necesario. Coloca las aceitunas en un tazón poco profundo.


Even though your baby is only babbling now, it is still a good idea to begin instructing your baby in simple terms. Provide instructions that encourage your baby to interact with his or her world. For instance, try teaching your baby something like “kiss mama” or “hug daddy.” When you give your baby instructions, follow through by showing him or her what those instructions mean. Say "bounce ball" and bounce the ball. Your baby may not be able to perform the action immediately, but once your little one gains the ability to do so, he or she will be thrilled to both do the action and know what that action is. When you speak to your baby, place emphasis on certain words you want to highlight by saying them more deliberately, clearly, and loudly. Emphasizing a single word within a string of several words will help your baby comprehend those words sooner. When choosing a word to emphasize, pick an object rather than an action or descriptive term. Language has more meaning at this age when it is related to a tangible object. You can sing classic children's songs like “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” or “Bingo,” but you can also sing by simply speaking to your baby in a sing-song voice on occasion. Most babies enjoy the sound of singing and will attempt to babble and sing back.  You don't need to limit yourself to kids' songs, either. Singing your own favorites can be just as effective. Singing to your baby presents language in a manner that differs from basic speech. This variation can help further your baby's understanding of language and may boost development. It can also be helpful to pick one song to use whenever you need to comfort your baby. After a few repetitions, your baby will learn to calm down as soon as the song starts. This also teaches your baby that speaking and singing are positive behaviors. Buy children's books and read them to your baby on a frequent basis. Your little one may not understand everything yet, but the gears in your baby's head will start to turn. The auditory aspect of this activity...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Enséñale al bebé órdenes simples. Ponle énfasis a unas palabras. Cántale al bebé. Lee en voz alta. Asigna nombres. Cuéntale un cuento. Acaricia suavemente la boca del bebé. Utiliza accesorios y herramientas.


Even well cared for horses pick up parasites from eating in the pasture, so they require regular deworming (regular means two to four times a year). It is likely that the neglected horse has not been wormed, and there is a good chance that the horse was placed in a pasture where worm eggs were in abundance. Worms can cause a number of health problems so it is important to get them treated as soon as possible. The worms irritate the gut lining causing pain and diarrhea. They interfere with digestion and rob the horse of vital nutrients. In extreme cases the sheer number of worms physically blocks the gut causing impactions or colic. There are many different types of worms. To ensure the worms die, treat the horse with the appropriate wormer. To determine which wormer should be used, the vet will take a fecal sample for analysis to find out exactly which species of worms are present.  The common parasite species and the problems they cause are:  Strongyles (large red worms): These worms cause lethargy, ill thrift, and colic. Cyathastomes (small red worms): These worms hibernate in the lining of the bowel. They can cause severe damage when they migrate and may cause pain or colic. Cestodes (tapeworm): These absorb nutrition from the gut and robs the horse of precious nutrients. Dictyocaulus (lungworm): The presence of worms in the horse’s lungs can cause a cough and secondary lung infections. Ascarids (roundworms): Although these are intestinal worms, they can cause a cough due to larval migration through the lungs. These are mostly a problem in foals and young horses. Oxyuris (pinworm): These irritate the anus. Gastrophilus (bots): These are not a worm but fly larvae. They can cause  irritation, inflammation, and pain in the stomach. Once the type of worms plaguing your horse have been determined, you will have to get medication for your horse to get rid of the worms. Ivermectin or moxidectin are two common deworming medications.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sé consciente de que la posibilidad de que el caballo tenga parásitos es alta. Comprende que existen muchos parásitos que los caballos pueden recoger. Trabaja con el veterinario para determinar cuáles medicamentos necesita el caballo.


Even when it’s cold outside, your horse can still work up a sweat when he exercises. His thicker winter coat will trap his body heat, though, making it harder for him to release that extra heat through sweating. After his exercise session, walk him for about 10 to 15 minutes. Offer your horse frequent sips of water during the walk. A cooler is typically made of wool or fleece and helps keep your horse warm and dry as he cools off. When you dismount from your horse after your initial walk, place the cooler on his back  without  removing the saddle. Removing the saddle too soon would expose your horse’s back muscles to a rush of cold air and potentially cause them to cramp.  Loosen the saddle instead of removing it.  Walk with the cooler on your horse for a few minutes, then remove the saddle. With the saddle removed, place the cooler back on your horse and continue walking him to let him cool off. Thatching your horse means stuffing a thick layer of hay or straw underneath the cooler to help your horse dry off. It is useful for horses that typically take a long time to dry off after exercise. You could also use a blanket instead of a cooler. In addition to thatching, you could rub your horse down with a clean, dry towel to dry him off more quickly. With the cold weather, you may think you are doing your horse a favor by putting multiple blankets on him to keep him warm. Since a horse’s body temperature does not cool down as quickly as a human’s body temperature, all of those extra blankets could cause your horse’s muscle to warm up all over again. He would then start sweating again, making it take even longer for him to cool down. Place your horse back in his stall  only  after he is completely dried and cooled off. Your horse could catch a chill if you return him to his stall too soon after exercise. If you can still feel sweat on his body, or if his heart and breathing rates are still elevated, it is not yet time to put him back in his stall.  If your horse is used to being covered with a blanket in the...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pasea a tu caballo. Cubre la espalda de tu caballo con una manta enfriadora. "Techa" a tu caballo con paja. No coloques múltiples capas de frazadas sobre tu caballo. Regresa a tu caballo a su compartimiento.


Even when the right person comes along, it can be hard to allow yourself to fall in love because of your past experiences. While love is great in many ways, it can sometimes lead to pain, which can make the idea of a new relationship scary. Try to let go of your past pain and resentment by forgiving your ex and/or trying to reflect back on the positive results of those hard situations.  For example, you may have dated someone who loved playing soccer so you started playing with them and now it’s a sport you love, are good at, and enjoy playing. Try keeping a journal to record your thoughts about this and work towards a healthier mindset. Vulnerability is a scary thing, especially when you’ve been hurt before. When the time is right, try to let yourself feel happy and excited to talk to and spend time with the special someone in your life. Try telling this person one private thing about yourself a week at first in order to strengthen the bond. Over time, slowly work your way towards feeling love and being fully open and honest with the person. For one reason or another, many people resist falling in love. If you really care for someone in your life but you’re struggling to commit to loving them, your own thought processes are likely to blame. Every time a thought like “Don’t trust them; you can’t trust anyone,” or “They don’t love me; they’re just going to hurt me,” pops into your head, dismiss the thought by saying something like, “That’s just the fear talking,” or “This isn’t my past relationship,” to yourself.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Deja atrás el dolor y resentimiento del pasado. Intenta ser más vulnerable. Ignora a tu crítico interno.


Even when you and your sister have set strict boundaries, you both will test each other’s baseline limits from time to time. When this happens, try your best to resolve the conflict before either of you reaches your breaking point.  Let your sister know what the problem is, using “I statements.” For example, “I feel belittled when you talk to me like a little kid” or “I feel angry when you choose not to respect my clothing.” Avoid the word “but.” This negates everything you’ve said before. For example, instead of saying “I see where you are coming from but I think you’re wrong” try “We can’t seem to agree on this.” If you can't resolve the issue, try to reach a compromise. Offer to change one thing about your behavior and urge her to do the same. Over time, these small concessions will have a big impact on your relationship. For example, you could offer to knock every time you want to enter her room and she could offer to say "Hi" to you at school. If the conflict escalates out of control, remove yourself from the situation. This is a great way to control your anger. Walk away from your big sister and cool off. When both of you are calm, you can try talking again. If you’ve failed to resolve the issue on your own, ask your parents to step in as mediators. Once you’ve both shared your side of the story, let them help the two of you reach an agreement. Take responsibility for your role in the conflict. This will show your parents that you are mature.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Intenta resolver el problema con tu hermana. Busca llegar a un acuerdo. Aléjate si es necesario. Pídeles a tus padre que se involucren.


Even when you're trying to gain weight, including regular aerobic activity is healthy and beneficial to your lifestyle.  Cardiovascular exercises strengthen your heart, improve or manage some chronic health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, and give you more stamina throughout the day.  Cardio exercises can include:  jogging or walking, biking, swimming or hiking. Always monitor approximately how many calories you're burning through exercise.  You'll need to calculate this into your total goal. If you're performing aerobic exercises and are having trouble maintaining your weight or you're continuing to lose weight, you may need to decrease the intensity, frequency, or duration of your aerobic exercises. Strength training can aid in your weight gain.  As you build lean muscle mass, you may notice your weight increases. This is highly important when attempting to gain weight. Many people do not realize that exercise is crucial to weight gain, just as it is to weight loss.  Strength training activities include:  weight lifting, isometric exercises (push-ups or crunches) and Pilates. Strength training does burn calories, just not as many as aerobic activities.  However, it's still important to be aware of how the calories burned during these exercises affects your weight. Seeing a personal trainer may help you find the appropriate workout schedule for you.  A personal trainer will be able to guide you through specific exercises or routines that can help keep you fit and maintain or add weight.  Check at a local gym for a trainer.  Many times you can see a trainer there and they may even offer a discounted consult for your first visit. Talk to your trainer about your weight and goals.  Make sure they understand you're interested in healthy weight gain.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Incluye ejercicios aeróbicos regulares. Realiza actividades de fortalecimiento muscular. Acude donde un entrenador personal.


Even with excellent protection, there's always a risk of water seeping through onto your cast. Strive to keep your cast away from water entirely in the aftermath of an injury.  Try taking a bath instead of a shower. If you have a broken arm, it may be easier to keep your arm out of the water in a bath. You can simply place your arm on the edge of the tub while washing the rest of your body. If you strongly prefer a shower, try to keep your cast away from running water. You may have to keep the broken limb outside of the shower during the bathing process. However, even if you keep your cast away from the water, do not bathe or shower without a cover. Even a small amount of water can be harmful to a cast. In addition to risking getting your cast wet, navigating a shower can be difficult in the aftermath of an injury. This may be especially tricky if you have a broken leg. If possible, opt for sponge baths instead of showers.  If you have a child in a cast, you may be comfortable simply sponge bathing your child until he's feeling more comfortable with his or her cast. If you're an adult, you can try sponge bathing yourself near a sink. If you have someone you're comfortable asking, see if that person can provide a sponge bath. A waterproof cast can usually be safely submerged in water. If you feel like you're at a higher risk of getting your cast wet, ask your doctor about a waterproof cast.  There are several types of waterproof cast materials. Ask your doctor about which material would work for your cast. Some materials may work better than others, so your doctor should be able to explain what materials would work for you. Keep in mind a waterproof cast is not 100% waterproof. While it can withstand water better than most casts, you should still take precautions when bathing, showering, or swimming. Try to get the cast wet infrequently. A waterproof cast may not be appropriate if you have a fracture that requires mobility to heal.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aleja el yeso del agua. Prueba con baños de esponja, en vez de ducharte. Consúltale a tu doctor si un yeso impermeable sería lo apropiado para ti.


Even young babies can begin to understand cause and effect: they cry, for example, and someone comes to feed, change, or comfort them. Maximize this natural way of learning by responding to your baby and interacting in various ways. Make faces to get your baby to laugh; pick your baby up if he or she reaches out for you. Babies and toddlers learn through play, so offer a variety of toys suited to your child’s developmental level. Your baby can learn that shaking a rattle creates a sound; your toddler can learn that pressing certain buttons may make a toy light up or make a noise. As your child grows and understands more and more, you can enhance their understanding verbally. So, for example, you can say, “oh, you didn’t eat your lunch, and that’s why you’re hungry again already” or “oh, you were too rough with that balloon, so it popped.” Toddlers can grasp cause and effect best with a practical demonstration. Puncture a balloon with a pin, and see what happens. Or go to the kitchen sink with your toddler, and pour water into a cup until it overflows. Ask your toddler what happened, and why. Repeat with other household objects and procedures.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Interactúa con tu hijo. Ofrécele juguetes. Refuerza el principio de causa y efecto mediante la conversación. Hazle una demostración.


Ever since the July 2013 Light and War update, it is not possible to get a 100% Pure Dragon in Dragon City through breeding. They are now much more common but must be purchased from the shop as described below. If you're looking for a challenge, try to breed a legendary dragon instead. Ever since the update, these are the rarest dragons in the game. Breeding two pure dragons together gives a moderate chance at a legend, so consider this method a stepping stone to the rarer dragon. This is the required level to see Pure Dragon show up as an option in the store. If you have gold to spare, keep building a farm and selling it for XP. The Huge Food Farm gives the most bang for your buck, if you can afford it. Be careful not to spend too much, since you'll also need plenty of gold to buy your pure dragon. (Note, In current version of Dragon city it costs 2.2 M for habitat and Dragon) Yes, this is how much a Pure Dragon will cost you. If this seems like an impossible amount, try building and upgrading as many farms as you can. This will pay out in the long run. Visit the build menu's dragon store and purchase your first Pure Dragon. Many players call this the "Pure Unicorn" due to its original horned appearance, but it will be labeled as a Pure Dragon.

TL;DR in Spanish:

No intentes conseguirlos cruzando dragones entre sí. Alcanza el nivel 34. Consigue 15 millones de oro. Compra el dragón puro.
