Just like their immature little brothers and sisters on the schoolyard, workplace bullies use same tools of intimidation and manipulation to bring you down. Learning to recognize their behavior is the first step in putting a stop to it and getting back to work in a comfortable environment.  A bully gains enjoyment from tormenting others. You might not always get along with everyone at work, but that doesn't mean you've got a bully on your hands any more than you're a bully yourself. Distinguish between the two by recognizing this trait--does this person seem to make special effort in messing with you, tripping you up, or bringing you down? Do they seem to enjoy it? If the answer is yes, this might suggest a bully. Bullies often have deep-seated psychological issues related to control. Know that your bullying has less to do with your performance and your personality and more to do with the bully's insecurities. Watch for the sure signs of a bully that signify more than a simple misunderstanding or personal disagreement. Workplace bullying might include:  Shouting, whether in private, in front of colleagues, or in front of customers Name-calling Belittling or disrespectful comments Excessive monitoring, criticizing, or nitpicking someone's work Deliberately overloading someone with work Undermining someone's work by setting them up to fail Purposefully withholding information needed to perform a job efficiently Actively excluding someone from normal workplace/staff room conversations and making someone feel unwelcome You might be suffering from bullying if you suffer at home in the following ways:  You have trouble sleeping or struggle with nausea and vomiting because you're scared to go to work Your family gets frustrated because of how much you talk and obsess about work problems You spend days off worrying about going back to work Your doctor notices health problems like blood pressure and other stress concerns You feel guilty about having provoked your workplace troubles If you feel singled out unfairly, or...

Just like when you are finding a new hairstyle to try, the safest route is to map out what inspires you. This especially helps when going to a professional because no matter how well we think we can articulate what exactly we want, the stylist may have a completely different perception. Play it safe and bring pictures your stylist can work from in order to avoid any misinterpretations. Ask someone someone with a look that you admire where she got her eyebrows done. If she did it herself, use local review or social media sites to do your due diligence in finding a professional. Factor in method, location, and customer service into the budget you’re willing to spend. Brushing your eyebrows up and out will make them look full and natural but it will also give you a sense of how long they are and what stray hairs need to be removed in order to achieve what you want.  Use a brow shaper to give you a sense of the style you want to achieve.  Use hairspray on your brush to keep the hair in place as you shape it to your desired look. Wash your hands with antibacterial soap, disinfect tools with hygienic solution, and remove make-up with water-based makeup remover. When removing hairs there may be a chance for infection so be safe by keeping your skin and tools clean and sanitary. Tweezers are an easy tool for plucking individual strands of eyebrow hair that may have grown astray. Use a sharp and slanted tweezer along with a mirror in a well lit room to pick out any loose hairs. Slanted tweezers ensure you don’t pinch at the skin when trying to pluck stray hairs from their root.   Take your time and pick individual hairs working inward from your eyebrow. A hasty approach can cause you to pluck several hairs at once making your eyebrows look patchy and cause you some unwanted pain. If you have over plucked, don’t repeat until you have given your eyebrows at least a month to grow back into its natural shape. Use a concealer to find out how your eyebrows will look after you have plucked the unwanted hairs.  Tweeze after a...

Just like with any art form, it is difficult to sketch when using poor quality (or the wrong) materials. You can easily find all the proper sketching materials at a local arts and crafts store. Spend a few dollars and gather up all the right materials, including:  H pencils. H pencils are the hardest pencils, and are used for sketching thin, straight, non-blend-able lines. These are mostly used for architecture and business sketches. Get an assortment including 8H, 6H, 4H, and 2H pencils (8H is the hardest, 2H is the softest). B pencils. B pencils are the softest pencils, and are used for making smudged and blurry lines and for shading your sketch. These are the favorites of many artists. Get an assortment including 8B, 6B, 4B, and 2B (8B is the softest, 2B is the hardest). Fine art paper. Sketching on regular printer paper may be easy, but the paper is thin and doesn't hold the pencil as well. Use fine art paper with a bit of texture for the easiest time sketching, and for the best overall appearance. For beginners, it is easiest to sketch from a live model or an image, rather than by using your imagination to create an image to draw. Find an image of something you like, or look for an object or person around you to draw. Take several minutes to study the subject prior to beginning to sketch. Pay attention to these things:  Find the source of light. Locating the primary light source will determine where you sketch the lightest and where you sketch the darkest. Look for any movement. Whether actual movement from a real-life subject or perceived movement in an image, determining movement in your subject will determine the shape/direction you make your sketch strokes. Pay attention to primary shapes. All objects are made up of a combination of the basic shapes (square, circle, triangle, etc.). Look for the shapes that underlay your subject, and sketch these first.

Just like with eye shadow, brown eyes can pull off basically any color of eyeliner and mascara. Because they’re a beautiful blend of many hues, different color products will accentuate them in different ways. You can stick to the standard colors, like black and brown, or experiment with bolder, vibrant colors. Products with hints of blue can play up the lighter, golden flecks in brown eyes, making them look vibrant and sparkly. Navy and royal blues are also less severe than black, so they can be used to create a softer look.

Just like with its console version, production of GTA Vice City installer discs for PCs have already been halted years ago, but you can also get used disc installers from eBay or other online selling sites for the same price as its console counterpart. You can also download digital copies of the game installer from file-sharing websites, but you are strongly advised not to do so because this is a form of illegal piracy punishable by law, and most of these digital copies contain various viruses and spywares that can harm your computer. Place the installer disc inside your computer’s drive bay and wait for it to read the disc. Your computer’s installation wizard should open and install GTA: Vice City on your PC. The installation process will take a few minutes depending on the processing speed of your computer. You’ll only need to do this once. Click on its shortcut icon from your desktop to launch the game and start playing Vice City on your computer.

Justin likes to put clothes on top of other clothes. For example, he will wear a buttoned-down shirt over a T-shirt.  Justin was once quoted as saying he’s “really into, like, drapy things, drapy sweaters, layering pieces.” This layering principle goes with his headgear too. For example, he’s often spotted wearing baseball caps until sweatshirt hoodies. He will wear a T-shirt over another T-shirt. He will tie a shirt around his waist. You might also see Justin wear a tunic length T-shirt under a hoodie. As a True Belieber, you want to show you appreciate his style by emulating it. If you want to look like a True Belieber, you’ll need some tattoos. His tattoos are well-known, and he’s not shy about showing them off.  Justin has a tattoo of a cross in the center of his chest. But that’s just for starters! He’s got a lot of tattoos, so a lot of True Beliebers do too. What sets Justin’s look apart are the tattoos on both of his arms. He’s got tattoos covering his left arm from shoulder to wrist, and tattoos on his right arm from his wrist to his elbow. Some of Justin’s lesser known tattoos are very small. For example, he has a tattoo of a bird on his lower abdomen. Justin is into the baggy look, whether it’s pants or shorts, and you can often see a little glimpse of his underwear peeking out.  He often wears white underwear with the brand name Calvin Klein across the waistband. Justin has also worn Calvin Klein’s low rise cotton trunk in red flair. Be lean. Justin is in great shape. He’s muscular, and his abs are defined. He doesn’t have much body fat, which is one reason his waistbands sometimes fall down. Justin has a very signature look. His hair is emulated and copied by many fans.  Go light on the makeup. Don’t cake it on. You won’t look like Justin then. As for the hair, decide whether you want to go early Justin (with heavy bangs) or later Justin (with longer bangs but pushed back off his forehead). Paint your nails a color from his line, One Less Lonely Glitter or write something cute, such as the...

Keep a cool head and a level tone. Avoid turning the conversation into a fight where she might get defensive and retaliate.  Avoid victimizing or feeling sorry for yourself. The goal is to gain her understanding, not her pity. Keep an open posture. Stand straight with your arms at your sides. Don't cross your arms over your chest as this is commonly interpreted as a defensive stance. Focus on "I" statements to describe the situation. Look at her directly and say things like:  "I think you need to know how hurtful it is when you do "X." I feel hurt because "Y," and I'd like you to stop doing it." The situation isn't just about what she has done. It is about how you have become involved. Be prepared to forgive her and reconcile. Our minds have a tendency to blow things out of proportion when we feel upset. Before starting sentences with "You always" or "You never," ask yourself whether or not this is actually true. Address the specific instances that made you upset. Offer accurate examples. Avoid statements like "I hate how you lie all the time." Frame your statement like "I felt upset when you lied to me about being too busy to talk yesterday. You lied about that last week too." Open up about how much her actions hurt you and try to let her feel your emotions. Take care not to let yourself get angry or aggressive.  Speak slowly and deliberately. If you find yourself starting to cry, take a moment to gather yourself. If you break down completely and find it impossible to talk, you may need to take more time to compose yourself before continuing. You may be able to reach to her conscience by asking her to see the situation from your position. Ask her how she might have felt if your positions were reversed. Be compassionate when attempting to guide her into seeing the situation from your perspective.

Keep a distance of 3-4 seconds (or a couple car lengths) between you and the vehicle in front, whenever possible. This buffer gives you more time to react if the driver ahead brakes suddenly or makes some other dangerous move. For instance, count "1 independence, 2 independence, 3 independence" when the car in front of you goes by an object. If you pass the same object before you're done counting, slow down a bit. Yield to other drivers when required. If you aren’t sure when to do this, check with your local transportation authority for a refresher on the rules. Being patient and giving other drivers their turn -- even when you’re in a hurry -- helps prevent accidents. If you encounter a driver who is not observing the rules of right of way, just let them go. It’s better to wait than to wind up in an accident because another driver was impatient. You can’t read the minds of other drivers, but you can make an educated guess about how they’re going to act when on the road. Adjust your driving in response to this. For instance, if you’re caught behind a brake-happy driver, leave extra distance between your vehicle and theirs so that you don’t end up rear-ending them. It’s extremely frustrating when other drivers are erratic, don’t follow the rules, or are just plain dangerous. Resist the urge to try to get back at them, however. Getting angry just makes accidents more likely. Take a breath, be patient, and focus on getting to your destination safely.  For instance, imagine you’re caught behind someone who keeps passing you then slowing down right in front of you. They may just feel like they need to be in front, which can be very frustrating. Instead of trying to constantly pass them, too, try moving into another lane, taking an alternate route, or just hanging tight until they’re out of the way.

Keep a good posture and don't slouch. Look approachable by keeping your arms by your side. Avoid crossing your arms over your chest, this is a sign that you don't want people around you. When you walk you should also remain upright, with your back straight. This shows people that you care about your demeanor, and are confident. Looking serious and cold is a major turn off. However, wide grins are usually left for only your friends, as it can look goofy if you aim it at a girl. However, if you know a person likes you, a goofy grin can be the perfect type of smile. Closed mouth smiles are adorable, and/or you can grin softly too. A consistent smile shows people that you are a positive person, and upbeat about life. People who laugh are seen as more positive cheerful. Grab a joke book, and learn some funny pick-up lines. Saying sarcastic comments (that aren't derogatory) can make you seem witty and cunning. If someone else tells a funny joke, feel free to laugh at it and let loose. Some of the cutest things guys can do is to casually flip their hair with their hand, or shake it in the breeze. Seeing those locks flow back, and revealing your bright, smiling face. Sometimes even the smallest things work, like twirling a few curls of your hair with your fingers as you are studying. Comb through your hair occasionally, or run your hand through it, trying to straighten it out. It shows that you are both cute, and care about the way you look to other people. Some of the cutest guys are those who care about grades and class. You don't have to be top of the class, but keep your grades up to grade level. Even if you are not interested in "book smarts," show an interest in learning, and participating in new experiences. A passion, like loving Star Trek, or world affairs, shows other people that you take interests and follow through with them. Show your sensitive side and caress a person who is having a bad day. Don't be the bully in class, who is overly obnoxious. It is much more cute to show that you care about other...

Keep a log of the number of calories you eat, and use the average of those numbers to estimate your daily caloric needs. Then, multiply that number by 1.1. Make sure your calories are coming from a variety of healthy, minimally processed foods to provide quality nutrients for muscle-building. Aim for about 0.8 grams to 1 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight (1.6g to 2g per kg). For example, if you weigh 180 lb, take in 144-180 g of protein every day. If you're overweight, use your lean body mass as your bodyweight instead of your current weight.  One ounce (28 grams) of cooked meat contains roughly 7 grams of protein. You could meet a 120-gram daily goal with three 6-oz. steaks, assuming no other protein sources. If you're having difficulty meeting these protein levels, you can always use protein shakes to make up the difference. The body needs a sufficient amount of water to build muscle at an optimal rate. Aim to drink at least  8 cups (1.9 L), but you'll likely need more to build healthy muscle. Here's a great little formula to help make sure you are getting enough:  Imperial units: Bodyweight in lbs X 0.6 = water intake in ounces. The same formula in metric units: Bodyweight in kg x 40 = water intake in milliliters. This includes all water from food and drink, not just glasses of water. If you are over 30, you can lower these numbers to lbs x 0.46 to 0.54, or kg x 30 to 35. Rather than having 2-3 large meals during the day, change your eating habits so that you are eating 5-7 smaller meals during the day. To help keep your protein intake high, you may want to make 1 of your meals a protein shake. To make a basic shake, blend 8 ounces (230 g) skimmed milk, 1 banana, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) peanut butter, and 2 scoops of protein powder. Not only does it make food taste good, fat is also good for you, as long as you are eating the right kinds and amounts of fat! Saturated fats—the fat you'll find in a stick of butter, a bag of chips, or bacon—should be limited to about 20g or less. However, increase the...

Keep a looseness in your hips and feet. If it helps, sway your hips from side to side. Follow with the left foot on each step. Then move two steps to the left, following with the right foot on each step. When you step the first foot, lead with your hip. When the next foot comes to follow it, let that hip sink. This creates a rocking motion with your hips every time you move. Traditionally, you will put up the arm that corresponds with the leading foot. The arm will come straight out to the side, at shoulder height. The other hand will be pointing toward the leading hand at the center of your chest, with your elbow at shoulder height. When you switch your leading foot, you will switch the position of your arms so that the extended arm corresponds with the leading foot.

Keep a notebook of words you would like to learn in Cantonese. When you hear a word you don't know, or when you realize you don't know how to say something, write it down and look it up later. Build yourself vocabulary lists based on themes (weather, time, food, family, business, vacation) and break them into vocabulary flashcards to study. Memorization is a huge part of learning any Chinese language. Bring flashcards with you so you can study while you wait in line, while you eat, and while you're riding on public transportation. There are two standard forms of written Cantonese: formal and informal. The informal version is close to spoken Cantonese, while the formal version is very similar to Standard Chinese (Mandarin). Many Cantonese speakers learn to read and write in Standard Chinese with Cantonese pronunciation.  Written Cantonese is unusual outside of Hong Kong.  Colloquial Cantonese in Hong Kong includes standard Chinese characters plus over a thousand Cantonese characters.  There are several forms of Romanization for phonemic written Cantonese, including Cantonese Pinyin, Jyutping, and Yale. For Standard Chinese Romanization, learn Pinyin. Depending on your language interests, you may choose to study formal or informal Cantonese pinyin and characters, Standard Chinese pinyin and characters, or select words and characters of any of these options for travel purposes. Thanks to online streaming video services, it's easy to find Cantonese films and television shows. Try watching movies, and get hooked on a quality show like "The Insider's Guide to Happiness." Watch with the subtitles on, and pause to look up words or check plot summaries to make sure you are absorbing as much as possible.  Rewatch episodes and pay attention to moments you felt you didn't understand. Watch out for subtitles. If you are practicing your Chinese by watching English-language films with Chinese subtitles, you are likely to come across mostly Standard Chinese. However, some shows, such as The Simpsons, are subtitled in written...

Keep a record of account information such as email ID, phone numbers you've provided, alternative email addresses given and security questions with answers. Keep this information in a safe and secure place, such as on a piece of paper stored in your home. Some sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, allow you to download such information to your computer, so you might like to do this every 3 to 4 months.  Password lists: This is a touchy subject. Most advice is to keep passwords in your head. The reality is that many people cannot do this effectively, especially if you need different passwords for dozens or even hundreds of sites. Find a sensible way to keep copies of such passwords safely, such as paper written lists (for example, divide into different lists, keep in different places), not writing down passwords for your most used accounts (those ones ought to be easily remembered) or only writing down passwords for accounts that have no sensitive information when entered, etc. You'll need to devise a safe way that works for you, bearing in mind that many sites offer password retrieval to cover forgetfulness. Be aware that if you keep lists of passwords etc. on your computer, and your computer is hacked, all of the listed accounts may be compromised. Use a good code to keep any stored personal reminder information safe from being read. You can make it up or learn one; the idea is that unless you're harboring an important state secret, most hackers won't persist with anything that is simply too much effort. Spam can occur when your email or social networking account is hacked, and your list of contacts is used to send on spam from your address/account. Ways to avoid this happening include having a strong password so your account cannot be hacked, not adding friends in Facebook whom you don't know, not clicking on links in emails from people you don't know, etc. Never reply to emails that land in your spam folder. Delete them immediately. By replying, even in a gesture of humor, you confirm your existence and...

Keep a smile on your face so that your classmates feel comfortable talking to you. Make eye contact with others and wave. Assume a confident posture and bright attitude.  Try to avoid wearing earphones during your first day of school. While listening to music, an audiobook, or podcast may help you feel relaxed, people may be more hesitant to approach you because they won’t want to disturb you. Keep your phone and other devices at home or in your bag. If you’re looking down at a screen, you may miss a chance to make a new friend. Starting a conversation with someone is the first step in making a new friend. To start chatting, ask a simple, basic question to break the ice. Then, follow up that question with other questions. You can even prepare and practice these questions before your first day of school.  After a science class, for example, you could ask the person sitting next to you: “How did you like the first lesson?” Or, if you see someone reading a book, you could ask them: “What book are you reading?” If you’re not sure where to find a classroom or the cafeteria, ask someone for directions and then say “thanks” and introduce yourself. If you’re nervous about speaking to other people, try practicing these conversation starters in front of a mirror. Once you’ve struck up a conversation with one of your classmates, ask questions that will allow the conversation to continue. Avoid asking simple questions that can be answered with a “yes” or a “no,” or a single word or short phrase.  For example, ask: “How was your summer?” Instead of: “Did you have a good summer?” Listen closely to the other person’s answers and ask questions based on what they tell you. Complimenting someone’s hairstyle or outfit is a great way to break the ice and strike up a conversation. It will also make your classmate feel less nervous on their first day of school and give them a positive first impression of you.  Try to follow up your compliment with a question that will keep the conversation going. After complimenting someone’s bag,...

Keep bratwurst in its packaging until you are ready to eat it. Store unopened packaging in the fridge until the expiration date printed on its packaging. If the package has already been opened, place the bratwurst in an airtight container and store in the fridge.  Raw bratwurst can last for 2-3 days in the fridge if already opened.  Pre-cooked bratwurst can last for 4-5 days in the fridge if already opened. If the packaging has not been opened yet, store bratwurst in the freezer for up to 2 months. Be sure to put the package in the freezer before its expiration date. Write the date that you stored it on the container so that you can keep track of its expiration date.  If the package has already been opened, store bratwurst in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. If you want to store the bratwurst for longer than 2 months, wrap the original package in heavy-duty aluminum foil, making sure that it is wrapped airtight. You can also use a heavy-duty freezer bag. This will prevent freezer burn. Allow cooked bratwurst to cool to room temperature. Place the bratwurst in an airtight container and keep in the fridge. Cooked bratwurst can last for about 5 days in the fridge. You can also store cooked bratwurst in the freezer for up to 3 months in the freezer. Write the date that you stored it on the container so that you can keep track of its expiration date.  Cook up a large batch of bratwurst and freeze it. This will make it easy to cook meals quickly with delicious bratwurst. Do not store raw bratwurst in the same container as cooked bratwurst.

Keep consistent. Depending on how big of a lie you tell, it may be hard work keeping everything in order. Remember every detail you lay out even if it is not asked of you. Make sure not to give different information to different people. You must commit to your lie. Any wavering makes it obvious that you are lying. Lying may feel unpleasant as fear and guilt set in. Your body language and facial expressions may give away your emotions as you want to get the lie over with. You must commit to your lie as if your were telling the truth. Some people enjoy the thrill of lying and do not show shame or remorse. Lying is not a socially acceptable activity, so it is all right if you do not get any joy from what you are doing and find it difficult to commit. If you are being accused of a lie, turn the table and trick your accuser. You may ask questions like “Why were you there, do you not trust me?” or “I am sure you do not want your friends hearing what you have been up to either.” Politicians use this technique to drive people away from other issues. People are uncomfortable accusing others so any chance they have to change topics may be seen as welcomed relief. For example, if a politician is asked about his views on the economy, he may drive the conversation to immigration. Similarly, if you are being accused of missing curfew, you may move the conversation to your brother driving without a license. Avoid responsibility from your lie by softening or even erasing anything you are being accused of by admitting to things that your accuser will find satisfactory. If you can deflect blame you will also deflate the anger associated with it. People may ask you questions several different ways to try to catch you in a lie. Make sure that you not only know the details, but also the specifics when more precise questions are asked.

Keep in mind if you go too short and need to move a component farther away later on, you'll have to buy another cable.  Unlike cat cable, HDMI cable isn’t easily changed if you need a longer or shorter length. Cat cabling allows you to cut the cable at the appropriate length and add the appropriate end, if you have the right tools. However, HDMI cable does not allow you to do that. Allow for a little slack. If you ever need to pull a component out, you want there to be enough cable to allow you to do that. Otherwise, you’ll have to disconnect your HDMI cable every time you pull out your component. Standard HDMI cabling can transmit a 1080i signal for at least 49 feet (15 meters). A high-speed HDMI cable transmits a 1080p signal for at least 25 feet (7.5 meters). The later the version, the more information it can carry. Go for version 1.3 or later; it will carry the full bandwidth of picture and sound information for Blu-Ray. Promises of faster speeds and higher quality audio and video don’t hold much water when you compare various qualities of HDMI cables. There’s no reason to buy high quality HDMI cables from your local electronics store when you can buy virtually the same thing through discount stores or online retailers for much less. By going online, you have better chances of finding and buying cheaper cables. You will not really gain anything in picture or sound quality by buying a more expensive cable. A reputable home theater magazine did some testing, and that is their conclusion. The only difference you will see is build quality. So it might be worth spending a little more if you will be frequently unplugging and plugging the cable in. Otherwise, save your cash.  Check the types of inputs and outputs available on your components. Make sure they’re compatible with HDMI. If not, you will require an HDMI adaptor.

Keep in mind that because the cost of attending a destination wedding is high, many of your friends and family will not be able to afford to come to your wedding. Therefore, you may want to plan on having a small, more intimate affair.  Try to give your guests plenty of notice (10-12 months) so they can look for good deals on airfare or plan to set aside extra expenses for a trip to Europe. If you have friends or relatives that you want to be in your bridal party, make sure you tell them you are having a wedding in Italy prior to asking them to be in your wedding. That way, they won't agree to be your bridesmaid or groomsmen, but then back out due to financial or time constraints. If you are planning a wedding in a popular tourist destination in Italy during the high travel season (summer), then you should try to book a block of hotel rooms at least 10-12 months before your wedding. This will ensure you get enough space to meet your guests' needs while also allowing you to get the best rates. If you are having a smaller party of guests, consider renting an entire villa or cabin that you can all stay in together. You can often find great deals on AirBnB, VRBO or HomeAway. Italy can be very hot in July and August. It might not be the best climate for a heavy satin ball gown or a stuffy topcoat and tails. Inform your guests that they should also prepare for the heat if you are hosting your wedding during this time. A planner will be a helpful asset, especially if you won't be able to travel to Italy prior to your wedding in order to plan it. The planner will know the best vendors in the area and she will also be able to easily communicate with them in Italian.  The wedding planner will be able to recommend vendors for food, music, lighting, florists, linens, etc. All of these are key elements to making your guests comfortable. Her or she will be your eyes on the ground when you can't be there. If you are not using a wedding planner, make sure you do lots of research on-line about your vendors before hiring them....

Keep in mind that certain colors will look natural on some people while looking obvious on others. Stick to shades close to your skin, lip, and hair colors.  If your eyebrows and eyelashes are black or very dark brown, then black eyeliner and mascara will look natural on you. For red hair, try out auburn or brown mascaras to find one that suits you best. If your hair is blonde, taupe mascara can define your lashes while still looking natural. Use eyeliner sparingly if you have lighter hair, and consider experimenting with brown eyeliners. Pick an eyeshadow that is either close to your skin tone or a few shades lighter as your base color. For fair to medium skin tones, this means whites, taupes, and light browns. Taupes and browns are also good choices for darker skin. Just stay away from white bases when going for a natural look, as these don't blend well on darker skin.  Select a second darker color for your shadow. These can be browns, taupes, and mauves. Go a little lighter than your base for a highlighter. Pick a color that is the same hue as your skin but a little lighter than your base eyeshadow. While skin can shine, it doesn't naturally glitter. Metallic eyeshadows like bronze and gold look wonderful with brown eyes but can ruin the illusion of a completely natural look.  If you want to incorporate metallic colors while still looking natural, do so sparingly and try to pick ones that blend well with your skin tone. For example, a slight splash of gold on the inner corners of your eyes can brighten them while still looking subtle on tan or olive skin. Matte versions of metallic colors are another more natural-looking option. Your undertone may be rosy (also called cool), golden (also called warm), or neutral. For a natural look, you especially want to stick with hues with a matching undertone to keep your makeup from standing out.  If you have rosy undertones, eyeshadows with subtle pink, red, plum, and blue tinges can look natural. For golden skin, eyeshadows with subtle peach, gold, or yellow tones...

Keep in mind that cool colors (blues, greens, purples) have a calming effect while warm colors (reds, pinks, oranges) excite.  Consider what mood you want to evoke in your room. For example, if you want a relaxing room, consider using green. Yellow-orange creates an inviting atmosphere. To help you focus on projects, consider blue-green. Red-orange can encourage creativity.  Keep lighting in mind when choosing color for the walls. If your room doesn't have much natural light, you might not want to choose a darker color. Lighter colors can make the room feel brighter and larger.  If you don't want to paint or wallpaper the room, but would still like to change the color, you can display quilts, hang curtains, or paint shelving units in your chosen color. Make sure your room is comfortable so you'll enjoy using it. Cushions, pillows, and soft throws can make the room cozier and more inviting. This is also a great way to add color and display soft furnishings you've made.   Soft furnishings have practical uses. Rugs are great for adding comfort to hard flooring and absorbing noise. Pillows and cushions can make your chairs or couch more comfortable. A cushioned chair on wheels can also prevent back pain when working long hours at your workspace.  If you'd like to redecorate your sewing room as the seasons change, swap out rugs, cushions, or curtains for a quick and inexpensive room update.  Think vertically when personalizing your room. A large wall is a great place to hang a finished quilt. Bookshelves are handy places to store blankets or cushions for easy use while displaying pops of color. Have an inspiration board or wall where you can hang project ideas. These could be magazine clippings, scraps of fabric, paint chips, or anything that motivates you.   Popular inspiration boards can be made of cork, covered with coordinating fabric, or magnetized.  Place crafting magazines, books, and patterns on shelves where you can quickly get ideas. Have comfy seating nearby so you can relax and consider new projects....

Keep in mind that improving your liposomal vitamin C with an ultrasonic unit is optional. If you do not already have the materials that you need to improve your liposomal vitamin C, then you will probably have to order some tools online, such as the glass beaker and ultrasonic unit. You will need:  One recipe of basic liposomal vitamin C High powered blender 1-liter glass beaker Ultrasonic unit Plastic wrap Wooden spoon Blend the liposomal vitamin C until it feels warm. This may take several minutes. Feel the blender to detect the temperature. The temperature of the ingredients should be about 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). After you have blended the vitamin C until it is warm, then transfer it into your glass beaker. The beaker that you use will need to be large enough to hold all of the blended ingredients and still fit into your ultrasonic unit. You may want to check before you transfer your liposomal vitamin C. Pace the beaker with the liposomal vitamin C into the ultrasonic unit for about 30 minutes. The ultrasonic unit will push the bubbles to the surface. After 30 minutes is up, cover the beaker in plastic wrap and place the beaker into the refrigerator for about an hour and then use a wooden spoon to skim off the bubbles that have collected on the surface. Make sure that you follow the manufacturer’s directions for how to use your ultrasonic unit. Let the ultrasonic unit run until the temperature of the vitamin C mixture reaches 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius). This will help to kill any bacteria that might be present in your liposomal vitamin C.

Keep in mind that you can learn about yourself by what you get embarrassed by. Think about the situation you were in. Ask yourself, “What was it about that situation that made me embarrassed?” It might not always simply be about the people you were actually around. For example, if you get overly embarrassed after failing at something you are typically very good at, you might be setting overly high expectations for yourself. In each moment of embarrassment, reflect on what your emotion can tell you about your expectations of yourself and others in general. While the title of this article is how to get over an embarrassing moment, certain people tend to have embarrassing moments quite a lot. It might even happen every day. If embarrassing moments seem to come up for you continuously, without your control, it could be the case that you have a social phobia. This is actually a type of anxiety disorder that has been shown to be highly correlated with persistent emotions of embarrassment. This makes it very difficult for you to simply get over embarrassing moments when they occur. If you can’t seem to simply shake off embarrassing emotions when they arise, and they seem to be coming up for you a lot, consider taking steps towards treating yourself for anxiety. If you feel there may be underlying issues that cause your embarrassment to be more severe than normal, it can help to talk with a counselor. This person can help you figure out your emotions and understand why you feel this way. He can also give you strategies for how to reduce the level of embarrassment that you feel. If you can’t stop thinking about the embarrassing moment, try meditating. Remember, the embarrassing moment is in the past. Try to keep yourself in the present. Mindfulness meditation is a technique that helps you be aware and nonjudgmental about your thoughts and emotions. It can be helpful to keep your thoughts about the embarrassing moment from taking over.,   Sit quietly for 10-15 minutes, breathing deeply. Focus on your breath....

Keep in mind what direction you want the curls to fall, toward or away from your face. Place the roller on whichever side you’ve chosen, and wrap from there. For most hairstyles, rollers on the top of the head will be rolled backward, away from the face.If you want curls that don't fall uniformly, roll the hair in various directions. If you roll some sections of hair forward and some sections of hair backward, your curls that look more natural. Start on either side of the top and put the hair in rollers. For most hairstyles, the side rollers will be rolled in a downward direction.  Move from the top of this side section to the bottom of it (at the ear area). If you are using multiple sizes of rollers, begin to use gradually smaller rollers at the bottom of this section of hair, ending with the smallest you use. If you want an outward flip at the bottom of your hairstyle, roll the bottom curlers in an upward direction.  Go to the other side section and repeat. Roll from the top of each section of hair to the bottom. If you are using multiple roller sizes, make sure you use smaller rollers as you near the neckline for all of these sections.

Keep moving forward and don’t focus on how difficult life can be. Think of the adventures you’re having in life because of these challenges. If things were straight and smooth, your life might be pretty uninteresting. Think about the ways you’ve overcome challenges and become a better person because of them. For example, if you’re mad that you were laid off, think about how you have been able to spend valuable time with your children. We can often feel like we’re surrounded by life’s frustrations. Perhaps you lost weight and gained it back, or it rained at your neighborhood barbecue. When we get bogged down by frustrating events, we start to notice and get frustrated by minor things, like not finding a parking spot or hitting all the red lights in traffic. But if you alter your reaction to these frustrations, they won’t have such a strong hold over you.  Compare the current frustration to similar ones in the past. Will this frustration make a difference in the long run, or are you wasting your energy getting worked up over nothing? For example, let’s say you are unhappy making sandwiches for a job. Put some artfulness into it, arranging the meats colorfully with the vegetables. Think of something nice to say to the customer. Ask the manager if there is something else you can control about the environment, like the music. If you hate traffic, plan ahead and listen to your favorite music in your car. Take action to change the frustrating event. If you hate going to work, you might think this way because you want to have a different career. Make a change to fix the situation. Oftentimes, we get wrapped up in negativity because we are stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated or angry. When we allow ourselves time to relax and recoup, we can find space to tackle problems with a positive attitude. Set aside time every day for yourself to do something relaxing, whether that’s reading a book, watching your favorite TV show, or talking on the phone with a friend. Try meditation or yoga, or spend a few minutes taking some...

Keep some essentials with you at all times. The following will help you anywhere you are:  Alternative "cigarettes" Cinnamon flavored gum Mouthwash and dental floss to get the taste out of your mouth. A pen, a small rock or string of beads to fill the place of the physical action of holding the cigarettes. The phone number of someone who will support you during difficult moments. There are several over-the-counter nicotine replacement products that can help ease you out of smoking. There are types of patches, gums, lozenges, nasal sprays, inhalers or sublingual tablets that deliver smaller doses of nicotine into the body.  Side effects could include: nightmares, insomnia, and skin irritation for patches; mouth soreness, difficult breathing, hiccups, and jaw pain for gum; mouth and throat irritation and coughing for nicotine inhalers; throat irritation and hiccups for nicotine lozenge; and throat and nasal irritation as well as runny nose if the nasal spray is used. E-cigarettes look like regular cigarettes, but they are operated by battery. An atomizer heats a solution of liquid, flavorings, and nicotine that creates a mist that is inhaled. E-cigarettes look promising for quitting, but there are some cautions. While they do not contain as many harmful chemicals as cigarettes, they do contain nicotine. For someone who doesn't really want to quit, this could be a good compromise for the moment. You need to become knowledgeable about your smoking habit in order to defeat it. Observe yourself for a day or two. Write down your specific smoking behaviors. This will help you later on.  How many cigarettes are you smoking per day? When are you smoking? Morning? After lunch? Evening? For what reason are you smoking? To ease your nerves? To relax you before sleep? The American Cancer Society states that the quit date is a very significant, almost ceremonial, date.

Keep the child's guitar and accessories in a specific spot with a sturdy, comfortable chair and other materials they'll need for practicing. This is an easy way to help the guitar become a regular part of the child's life. If possible, set this space up away from distractions, such as television or video games. Find a spot where the child won't be interrupted frequently and will always have some quiet time to practice their guitar. When a child is just beginning to learn the guitar, don't bog them down trying to teach them how to tune the guitar. You can start by doing it for them. Explain what you're doing and impress upon them the importance of keeping their guitar in tune. You can find videos online about guitar tuning and play them while you're tuning the child's guitar so they understand what you're doing. To start, it will probably be easier for the child to learn the guitar sitting rather than standing. Find a sturdy, straight backed chair that is low enough for them to sit with both feet firmly on the floor. It will take some practice for the child to hold their hands and fingers correctly, but emphasizing this at the beginning can keep them from developing repetitive motion injuries later on. A guitar can be an intimidating instrument. Encourage the child to play around with the guitar, tapping on the body to hear echoes and plucking strings at random.  This kind of unstructured play with the instrument will help the child become familiar with the guitar's sound. Especially if the child is really young (4-6 years old), they may not be ready to start with actual music right away. Just let them play around and experiment, maybe creating their own "songs." Encourage them to pay attention to what they're doing and repeat sounds. A child may not be able to grasp the concepts you want to teach them as quickly as a teenager or adult would. Even some basic knowledge may be unknown to younger children. Remain calm and be prepared to explain even the simplest terms and phrases. For example, if you're teaching...

Keep the iron unplugged and fill the iron's tank with water. Plug the iron in and turn it to the steam setting. Let the iron heat up until it makes steam when you turn the iron down.  Avoid using the iron if it doesn't have a steam setting. If your iron is prone to leaving rust spots, avoid using it to steam the tulle. Ensure that the ironing board is clean and dry. Lay the fabric or tulle dress on the board so the wrinkled area covers the board. Lower the iron towards the tulle, but don't lay it on the fabric or it could melt. Keep the iron about 1-inch (2.5-cm) above the tulle and hover it over the wrinkles for a few seconds. As the steam from the iron gets near to the wrinkles, they should flatten out.

Keep the thread unknotted. For this technique, it is best to use the finer threads.  The idea here is that two or three fine threads roughly equates to working with a single medium-sized strand of thread. Use threads 60-80 for this technique. You can also work parts with just one thread to create both texture and coloring effects as you so desire. Of course, you can't carry thread the way you can in crocheting or knitting, but it still can be done to a certain degree. Just experiment––you are only limited by your imagination!

Keep track of what cards both you and your opponent have discarded, as these will indicate what to avoid collecting. For example, if you saw two kings end up in the discard pile, then you shouldn't hold onto any kings in your hand since these will certainly become deadwood. Get a sense for which cards your opponent is picking up from the discard pile since these will clue you into their sets and runs. If you see them picking up a couple 9's, don't discard a 9 you have in your hand or you risk helping them out. Runs can be added onto at either end of the sequence. But once you reach three of a kind, sets can only be added onto in one way. And you're less likely to find that one extra card for a set than the two possible cards that can add to your run. You can't knock until your deadwood is down to 10 or fewer points, but as soon as you reach that threshold, it might be a good idea to knock. Waiting too long in the hopes that you'll reach gin could mean letting your opponent reach it first.

Keep your eye on the fly until it lands, then get ready to make your move. Approach the fly silently and slowly so it doesn't fly away. If you don’t have a flyswatter, you can use other objects with a flat surface, like a newspaper, shoe, or book. Raise your flyswatter above your head, and bring it down over the fly in a single, strong move. You are crushing the fly between your flyswatter and a hard surface. If you miss the fly the first time, wait for it to land and swat again. Rinse the flyswatter in soap and water, and use a tissue or paper towel to wipe up the mess. Make sure to wash your hands! You can also disinfect with a cleaning solution to prevent spreading any germs. Electric flyswatters are devices that lure in flies with a light and kill them upon contact. Stand near the fly with your electric flyswatter to kill it effortlessly and quickly. Be sure to read over instructions carefully before use. Avoid touching the racket area, and always let the flyswatter fully cool down before storing it.

Keep your head secure and back against the seat rest in your chair, and Try to focus on the track in front of you, or the back of the seat front in front of you. Don't look down or focus on things to the side, which can emphasize the speed at which you're traveling and increase any feelings of disorientation and nausea. Don't look down, in other words.  This is especially helpful if you're going on a loop. Look straight ahead and focus on the track and you'll only feel a slight feeling of weightlessness that should actually be pretty pleasant and should pass in a moment or two.

Inexperienced riders often think that closing your eyes will help make it less scary and that you'll feel better, but closing your eyes will lead to feelings of disorientation and can make you feel nauseated.

Keep your head up and your shoulders square rather than slumped forward. While sitting, lean back slightly and make yourself comfortable. This posture leaves your face confidently exposed to the world, rather than closed off and unwelcoming. Place your arms at your side or on your lap. If you are holding something or making gestures, keep your hands slightly to the side or near your lower torso. Avoid unwelcoming positions, such as crossed arms or hands raised in front of your chest. Enthusiastic postures with hands raised above your head may make you harder to approach, although psychology studies are divided on this point. . Simply smiling can make you seem much more approachable and inviting. A fake or forced smile isn't nearly as effective, though. Think of a happy memory, or a funny joke, to trigger a genuine smile.

Keep your momentum up - don't let a budding attraction wither because you're both too afraid to plan a date. You don't have to go on a date the very day you find out you like each other, but try to plan one within a week or two. By dating, you'll get to know each other even better and you'll learn whether you're a good romantic match.  A good time to schedule a date is the weekend following whenever you admit that you like each other. For your first date - try to plan so that at least part of the date allows you to talk to each other. For instance, if you want to see a movie, plan to have dinner as well. A good first date is casual, low-pressure, and uniquely "you." A date doesn't have to be extravagant. A great first date can be as simple as doing homework and having a picnic at the park. Here are a few more low-cost ideas if you're having a hard time thinking of dates:  A local carnival, seasonal fair, or amusement park. Rollerskating or ice skating. If one of you isn't a great skater, even better - you'll have to hold each other to keep from falling! Hiking. If you can make it to the top of a local hill or bluff, you'll be treated to a gorgeous (and romantic) view. The period between expressing your attraction and going on your date can be nerve-wracking, but try not to worry. A first date is a chance to get to know someone If you're really nervous, talk to your friends. They may be able to tell you hilarious first date nightmare stories. At the very least, they'll be able to remind you that first dates aren't supposed to be tremendously stressful. Feel free to send your crush a few flirty texts before your first date, but don't overdo it. It can be tempting to shower him with compliments, especially if you're really into each other. Resist the urge - too much too soon can be awfully intimidating, especially if the guy is less romantically experienced than you. Some sources even recommend creating a sense of mystery before the first date by maintaining total "radio silence." Once you know someone likes you...

Keep your posture straight and move forward 3 regular steps, using the same stride you would for everyday walking. Move quickly enough to build momentum but not fast enough to slip and lose your balance. Space your steps so that your stronger foot plants last. You may need to experiment to find the perfect starting point on the board. Typically, it should be about 5 steps from the end of the board. Your fourth step should be longer and more exaggerated than your previous 3 steps. It should bring your foot forward to the end of the diving board. Place your press foot flat on the board and bend your press leg to 90 degrees. At the same time that your foot lands on the press step, bring your arms back behind you. You’ll be swinging them up above your head as you bend your leg. As you press down on your final step, bring your arms upwards in a counter-clockwise motion. Swing them upwards so your shoulders are next to your ears. They should be fully extended above your head. You should feel the diving board depress at the point where your arms swing past your hips towards your head. Bounce upwards from your press foot, straightening that leg. Bring your other leg to a 90° position in the air from its already slightly bent position. Be sure to jump straight upwards without moving forwards or backwards. As you're still in the air, bring your bent leg downwards. Land on the end of the diving board with both feet. Use this landing to bounce back upwards. To correctly do a gainer, you should make these movements at the same time while you are landing. Swing your arms backwards as if you are drawing a large circle. While your arms move, bend your knees to a 90-degree angle as the board dips towards the water.When the board is at its lowest point, your arms should have completed half of a complete circle and point downwards to the water. Your knees should be bent fully. As the board goes back up, continue swinging your arms forward in a circular motion in front of you and extend them as high as you can. Straighten your...

Keep your return and delivery address separate to minimize any confusion. Your delivery address should be centered, and your return address should be separate in the top left corner. Avoid any merging between the return and delivery address. Just in case your delivery and return address are placed too close to each other, writing sender over your return address will eliminate any confusion. Add a colon mark after the "SENDER" and continue adding your address below it. Begin with your street address, apartment or suite number, and/or directions on the first line. Follow your street address with your city and zip code. While both your delivery and return address should be written clearly, the legibility of your return address is particularly important. If for whatever reason your package cannot be delivered, it will be returned to the sender. Place a white label over your package's address and re-write the return address if it is smudged or sloppy.

Keep your rug looking pristine by vacuuming it regularly. Dust and dirt can easily build up on a white rug and foot traction on stuck-in grit can actually wear a wool rug out. To minimize both dirt buildup and damage to your rug, vacuum the rug frequently on a low-suction setting and keep the brush roller turned off. Assess how much traffic your rug gets and stick to a vacuum routine:  For high traffic areas, vacuum your rug daily. For medium traffic areas, vacuum twice a week. For low traffic areas, vacuum once a week.  Before you vacuum the top side of your rug, flip it over and vacuum the underside. Then flip it right-side-up and vacuum again. This will help loosen dirt and grime that has settled deep into the fibers. Get rid of pet hair on your white carpet by brushing it out. Choose a hair brush with stiff metal or plastic bristles. A rubber broom can work well at picking up pet hair also. Try an extra sticky lint roller for pet hair on the surface of your rug. If your rug is small enough to bring outside and shake, doing so can remove trapped dirt and dust better than some vacuum cleaners. Throw your rug over a rail and beat it with a broom or buy a traditional rattan rug beater. To deep clean your white rug, it’s important to use a carpet steam cleaner every 6 months to a year, depending on how much action the rug sees. Hire a professional carpet cleaner to take care of it, or clean it yourself if you have a steamer at home.  A family of 4 with a white rug in a frequented area should deep clean every 6 months. A rug in a less frequented area can be cleaned once a year.

These activities often leave you feeling confident, energized, and eager to do it again. Modify your role so that you use your strengths instead of your weaknesses. Invest in your strengths. Find ways to further develop the skills and knowledge you have. Participate in training, workshops, and conferences. You can also read books or blogs that deal with your leadership area. In strengths-based leadership, you need to focus your time and energy on the things you do well. Therefore, it is important to find the necessary tools to help you deal with your weaknesses.  Utilize appropriate technology. Tools like online calendars, smart phones, and alarms can help you stay organized and on time. Delegate tasks to other people. When possible, pass a task on to someone else that is better suited for it. Collaborate with others on group projects and assign tasks based on each person's strengths.

Keep your torso centered over your hips and your back mostly straight, with just a slight lean forward. You don’t want to bend too far at the waist, but it’s fine to lean into your run, especially when you’re going uphill. Keep your shoulders back and your elbows bent, pumping them with every stride. Breathe in a way that feels natural and easy. Don’t hold your breath or forget to breathe, or you’ll end up gasping for air and slowing yourself down. In running, as in other types of exercise, your breathing is most efficient when you breathe in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. When you’re just starting to run, any old tennis shoes will do. However, if you plan to run several times a week, and you want to start adding distance, it’s a good idea to invest in a pair of running shoes that fits you well and supports your feet. Your shoes shouldn't be so roomy that they slip around, but you also don’t want them to be uncomfortably tight. Leave about ¼ to ½ inch between your toe and the front end of the shoe.  Most running stores hire clerks who are runners themselves, and are trained to help you find the best fit for your foot. Try on a variety of shoes and test jog them around the store until you find a pair that feels comfortable. Different shoes are made for feet with different types of arches. For some people, their ankle bends slightly out (under pronation) or slightly in (over pronation) while running, and there are shoes designed to correct these problems. If you’re over or underdressed for the weather, your run will not be as successful. A good rule of thumb is to aim to dress for weather about twenty degrees warmer than the actual day’s temperature. That way, when your body warms up, you’ll be able to run comfortably. Stretching after your run will help keep your muscles from getting sore. If you wake up tight the next day, you’ll be less likely to run, so it’s a good idea to stretch every time. Do the following stretches after your cool-down:  Bend at the waist and touch your toes. Hold for...

Keep yourself on the right track by replacing the time you would have spent with this person (or would have spent thinking about him or her) with a new activity. Take up a hobby you have always wanted to try, join an intramural sports league, or start a new form of exercise. Whatever it is, it should be so interesting and engrossing that you can't manage to think of anything else while you're doing it. Mastering a new skill and bettering yourself will make you feel good. You may even feel like a new and improved person that’s too good for the person you’re forgetting, improving your self-esteem. Improving yourself is the best thing to do in this situation for you, your self-worth, and your peace of mind. Have you ever gone through one of those periods where you can’t seem to stop eating junk food and all you want to do is sit on the couch and watch terrible reality television? And the kicker is that it doesn’t feel good – being lazy and unhealthy feels pretty terrible. Eating right and exercising makes it much easier to feel energized and positive about your circumstances and yourself.  Have a diet that’s mostly fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats. Get a balance of fiber, protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats (like the ones found in fish, nuts, or olive oil). Stay away from processed junk that gives you a kick initially, but in the end just slows you down. Aim to exercise for 30 minutes a day, whether it’s walking, swimming, running, or even dancing or cleaning the house. Do it in small chunks if your schedule doesn’t allow for large chunks of time. Even small efforts, like parking far away from the entrance, will add up over time. The best way to keep your mind busy, your schedule busy, and yourself positive, is to surround yourself with fantastic people that genuinely care about you. Whether that means your mom, your sister, your best friend, a theatre group, or your basketball team, stick with them. They’ll keep you laughing and help you see that you have a million things going for...

Keeping a journal can be a helpful way to unload your thoughts and feelings about the divorce. Getting what’s in your head down on paper can provide relief from what you’re feeling. What’s more, journaling is a great way to problem-solve. Try to devise solutions to some of the issues you write about in your journal. For example, if you notice you keep worrying about how you will get by financially, possible solutions may be to find a job or speak with a financial advisor who can help. Renewing or strengthening your relationship with God, a higher power, or the universe can help you manage the overwhelming pain and heartbreak that comes with divorce. A spiritual mindset is also one of faith; therefore, you may feel more positive about your future. Divorce will bring with it a host of new responsibilities. Regardless of how long your were married, you have probably come to rely on your spouse in various ways. You must anticipate a major shift in what you may or may not be responsible for moving forward. Maybe your spouse often did all the cooking and laundry and now you are faced with learning these tasks as an older, single person. On the other hand, your spouse may have been the primary breadwinner and the divorce causes you to assess your skills, get a job, and develop your own financial security. Research has repeatedly shown that joint custody, in which children are able to split time between both parents rather than mostly living with one parent, is the best option for kids in fractured families. These kids have feel more secure from continually being cared for by both parents, they are able to follow a healthy example, and they may grow up to be better problem-solvers.  Of course, this option may not be best in your case. Work with your family lawyer to determine which arrangement best suits your unique circumstances. If you do decide to co-parent, avoid allowing your feelings to overshadow the needs of your children. Strive to listen to and compromise with your ex in order to adopt consistent rules and...

Keeping an organized and neat closet is the key to having a clean bedroom. You should make the most of your closet space and organize your clothes by season and color. If you have a larger closet, it may be a good place to store your additional items or to keep your shoes and accessories. Here's how to organize your closet:  The first thing you should do after you've sorted your clothes into the "Keep" and "Store" piles is to take one more hard look at your clothes. If you haven't worn a certain item in over a year, it's time for it to go. The only exception for this rule is if you have a very formal gown or suit that you haven't had a chance to wear. Organize your clothes by season. Keep the summer, spring, winter, and fall clothes on the same part of the closet. If you have room for storage in the closet, store those off-season clothes in a bin in the back of your closet. Hang up as many of the clothes as you can. Try organizing them by the type of garment they are. For example, when you hang up your summer clothes, keep tank tops, t-shirts, and dresses separated. Make use of the space below your clothes. If you've hung up your clothes, you should still have a few feet of space below them, so don't waste it. Use the space for a storage bin or for a shoe rack. If you have a door that opens instead of a sliding door, invest in a shoe rack or jewelry holder that hangs over your door. This is a great use of space. If you don't have a door there, you can consider hanging one of these over your bedroom door. If you have room in your closet for a dresser, this is the perfect place for it. Your dresser is the place where you store your additional clothes or accessories, so it should be as neat as possible to prevent you from turning it upside down every time you search for another piece of clothing. Here's how to organize your dresser:  Organize the top of your dresser. Take all the clutter from the top of your dresser and put it in a plastic bin at the corner of the dresser. If there's a better place for the...

Keeping your Rex rabbit outside is a bad idea because rabbits are prone to attacks from predators, overheating, hypothermia, and loneliness. Your Rex rabbit will be at a higher risk of an early death if you keep her outside instead of inside your home.  Even if your Rex rabbit is safe inside of her cage, rabbits frighten easily and she may have a heart attack from just seeing a predator. Your Rex rabbit may also develop some antisocial behavior if you keep her outside. For example, she may start to fear people or become aggressive. There are lots of different rabbit enclosures to choose from. You can keep your Rex in a single room of your home that has been rabbit-proofed, house your rabbit in a puppy playpen, get a rabbit condo, or select a standard cage. When selecting an enclosure for your rabbit, make sure that you consider:   Size. Your rabbit’s cage should be four or five feet long and about two feet wide. The cage should be high enough for your Rex rabbit to stand up on her hind legs without her ears touching the top of the cage.   Floor. Avoid wire bottom cages because they can hurt your Rex rabbit’s feet. Try to find a solid metal bottom cage. If you cannot find a solid metal bottom cage, then you can cover the bottom of the cage in a piece of plywood that covers the entire floor of the cage.   Bedding. Cover the floor of your Rex rabbit’s cage with at least two to three inches of bedding. You can use straw, paper pulp, or shredded cardboard. Do not use cedar or pine shavings as your Rex rabbit’s bedding or as litter. Your Rex rabbit may develop respiratory and liver problems from these materials. Rabbits like to hide to when they feel scared or stressed, so it is important to provide your Rex with a hiding place. A cardboard box or a wooden box that has a hole cut out of it makes a good hiding spot. Provide a hiding spot for each rabbit that you have, otherwise they may fight over the spot. Rabbits will use a litter box if one is provided for them. Put a small litter box in one corner of your...

Keeping your eyes open will dry them out and cause them to sting. Eventually, the dryness will trigger your eyes to start watering, so try not to blink until you feel tears start to form.  If you’re near a fan, try to stand so that the air is blowing into your eyes, which can make them water. If you can stare at a bright light, your eyes will water even faster. Close your eyes and gently rub your eyelids for about 25 seconds, then open your eyes and stare at something until the tears start rolling. This might take a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, it can work wonders. Rubbing your eyes can help redden the complexion around your eye area, too, but don’t rub too hard or you could injure your eyes. Lightly place your pointer finger up to your one of your pupils. This will cause your eye to become irritated, and it may lead to tears. Be careful not to poke yourself in the eye, though. A little pain can often bring tears to your eyes, and if you need to cry on command, you can use that to your advantage. This trick is especially useful if you bite your lip while you’re already thinking of something sad.  Try holding your breath as you bite the inside of your mouth, which could focus your senses on the pain. You can also pinch yourself hard on a sensitive part of your body, like on your thigh or in the space between your thumb and pointer finger. Copy the Hollywood stars and gently rub a mentholated tear stick under your eyes. It may sting, but it's going to be very realistic. However, be very careful about not getting any in your eyes. You can also use eye drops to make it look like your face is tear-stained. Just place them right below the corner of your eyes so they believably run down your face. Yawning will make your eyes water and if you yawn enough then you will spark some tears. Try to hide your yawning with something that covers your mouth. You can also yawn without opening your mouth to make it more believable.

Keeping your face clean is a large part of the razor bump battle. You want to keep bacteria at bay and also keep the top-most layer of your skin fresh. If you're shaving (...which you shouldn't be doing on the bumps), use warm water to soften the hairs and loosen the follicles. Cold hair just tightens up your skin and won't do you any favors. Do this twice a day, in the morning and at night. There are a solid half a dozen products on the market to choose from, and all should be of similar quality. A quick visit to your local drugstore (Wal-Greens, CVS, Boots, or Waitrose) should be all you need to take. If you'd rather look for something that may already be in your bathroom cabinet, a hydrocortisone cream or other antibacterial cream can help lessen inflammation and redness, too. Retin-A cream works as well. Against the grain may feel like it results in a closer shave, but shaving with the grain will keep the hairs aligned. When the hairs are aligned, they're less likely to curl up and become ingrown. Avoid putting chemicals like alcohol, or treatments that contain alcohol, on the shaved area. Your skin is super sensitive at this juncture, so it's best to use non-perfumed, no-alcohol substances. Read the label if you have any doubt. Go for one that's super moisturizing. Choose an alcohol, fragrance and oil-free moisturizing lotion to make sure the skin doesn't get irritated. According to the Department of Dermatology of the Langone Medical Center, products that contain salicylic or glycolic acid are the most effective in treating razor bumps. These ingredients clear the pores, moisturize and prevent infections. If desperate times call for desperate measures, you do have more permanent ways out. Consult a registered, experienced dermatologist for more advice on the matter. Depending on your hair type and how much hair you'd like removed, laser hair removal may not be as expensive as you think it is. A session for just the neck could be as little as $150. It may be worth looking into!

Keeping your face clean is the best way to ensure that your face is free of pimples and other imperfections. Wash your face once in the morning and once at night as well as any time your face is sweaty.  For example, it is a good idea to wash your face before and after a workout or after you have been doing physical labor. Try keeping some cleansing wipes in your gym bag or purse that you can use to wipe off your makeup and cleanse your skin. Wet your face with lukewarm water to start. You can simply bend over a sink and splash some lukewarm water on your face. It is best to wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Apply a small amount of the cleanser to your hands and use your hands and fingertips to massage the cleanser into your skin.  Make sure that you close your eyes to avoid getting cleanser in them. If you prefer to use a cloth, use a gentle cotton washcloth to massage the cleanser into your skin. Avoid scrubbing because this can irritate your skin. When you have finished applying the cleanser, splash some lukewarm water onto your face to rinse it away. Do this several times to ensure that you have completely rinsed off the cleanser.  You can also use a clean wash cloth to help remove the cleanser. Just avoid rubbing and scrubbing with the cloth. Instead, apply the wet cloth to your face and gently wipe away the cleanser. After you have completely removed the cleanser, turn the water to cool and splash your face with it. After you have rinsed all of the cleanser off of your face, use a clean, dry towel to pat your face dry. Do not rub the towel on your face because this may irritate your skin. Keeping your face moisturized will also help to keep it feeling smooth. Follow up your cleansing routine with a layer of moisturizer. Use a moisturizer that works with your skin type. For example, if you have oily skin, then choose an oil-free moisturizer. If you have dry skin, then choose a moisturizer that is meant for dry skin.

Keeping your feelings bottled up can be damaging over time. Sometimes just talking about your feelings can make them go away or decrease. Talk to someone who cares and understands you, or at least, whom you trust; it can make a big difference. Journaling can help you to understand your feelings of emptiness better and it is also a great way to relieve stress. To get started with journaling, choose a comfortable place and plan to devote about 20 minutes per day to writing. You can start by writing about how you are feeling or what you are thinking, or you can use a prompt. Some prompts you might use include:  When did you first notice your emptiness? How long has it been there? How old is your emptiness? What emotions do you experience when you are feeling empty? Are you prone to feeling empty during certain times or in certain places? What do you notice about your environment when you are feeling most empty? What kind of thoughts do you have when you are feeling empty? Depression manifests differently in different people, but low mood and feelings of emptiness or worthlessness are very common symptoms. Depression can come in waves, where you feel okay for a while and then very low for weeks or even months, or it can be more of a steady feeling. Depression is also very common; about 6.7% of US adults experience major depressive disorder. Women are 70% more likely to have depression than men. If you think you may be experiencing depression, you are not alone. Seek treatment from your physician or a mental health professional if you experience any of the following symptoms of depression:  Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or “emptiness” Feeling hopeless or pessimistic Feeling guilty, worthless, or helpless Unusual irritability or restlessness Changes in your mood or behavior Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy Fatigue Changes to sleep habits Changes to your weight Thoughts of harm to yourself or others Aches and pains that do not appear to get better with treatment Bereavement is another common...
