You should only dress him up if he thinks it's a good idea. He should be comfortable and relaxed about the idea.   Don't take any photos or videos without his permission. If you do take them, never share them without permission. This counts as a betrayal of trust. Double-check with him before taking or sharing pictures or video. If he doesn't think it would be fun, then let it go. Maybe another boy would like to dress up. Double-check each step of the process with him. For example, if he's scared of the tweezers, tell him that he can skip having his eyebrows plucked. For a boy to dress like a girl, he needs to have no leg, facial, or armpit hair. Have him take a shower and shave his legs, armpits, and face. If he doesn’t want to do it himself, have him sit on a chair while you gently shave him. Spread shaving cream onto his legs, dip a razor in a bucket of water, and then save the hair off of his legs. Dip the razor into the water after each pass of the razor on his legs to prevent cuts. Girls shape their eyebrows to achieve a natural arch without any stray hairs, so shaping the boy’s eyebrows will help him look feminine. Use tweezers to pluck stray eyebrow hairs or use face wax to wax the eyebrows into a natural arch. The scent of deodorant is different for boys and girls. Get a deodorant sold for girls and have the boy wear it. You should also have the boy wear a perfume meant for girls to get him smelling like a girl.

You should only use food grade plastic buckets or glass carboys as your fermentation vessel. Make sure that the lid is food grade as well. A 7.5 gallon (28 L) vessel will allow for 5.5 to 6 gallon (21 to 23 L) batches.  Keep in mind that you may occasionally need to stir the batch, so containers such as buckets are often ideal. You need about 1.5 to 2 gallons (5.7 to 7.6 L) worth of space in a 7.5 gallon (28 L) vessel. This allows room for the foam and gases that form during fermentation. If you don’t leave enough room, the pressure can build and pop the lid on the vessel, leading to contamination. You need to make a hole in the lid that is the right size for a rubber grommet and airlock. Push the grommet into the hole. Then fit the airlock into the top of the grommet. Install a rubber gasket around the lip of the lid to form an airtight seal between the lid and the container. The fermentation vessel (and rubber stopper for glass vessels or lid for a plastic bucket), airlock, and a large spoon should be cleaned and sanitized. Fill the fermentation vessel to the brim with a sanitizer, such as iodophor, that is made for brewing and  winemaking. All these items are available at homebrewing and wine-making shops.

You should only use steel wool for neglected, rusty pans or thick deposits of dirt or grime. Be sure to use fine steel wool, such as grade #0000. Wear down rust or gunk by rubbing the pan with gentle to medium strokes, then wipe away loose debris with a dry cloth. Repeat scrubbing and wiping until you’ve cleared away the rust or dirt. Place your dutch oven on a burner set to medium-low. When it’s hot, add enough vegetable or flaxseed oil to thickly coat the bottom. Keep the pot on the hot burner for 5 minutes, or until the oil smokes, then turn off the stove. Make a liquidy paste with the salt and oil, then put on a pair of clean work gloves. Scrub the inside of the dutch oven completely with a wad of paper towels. Use a potholder to hold the handle and steady your dutch oven as you scrub. The inside surface of the pot will have absorbed and distributed the oil after the first scrub. When the oil residue has thinned, add more oil to heavily coat the bottom the pot, then heat it until the oil smokes. Add more salt to make a paste, scrub the inside with paper towels, and repeat the process 3 to 5 times, or until the surface is slick and black. After scrubbing the pot, rinse it thoroughly under hot water, then dry it completely with paper towels or your cast iron cloth. Heat the pot on a burner set to medium-low to evaporate the last bit of water. Turn the burner off, add a teaspoon of oil to the pot, then use paper towels to spread the oil and absorb any excess.

You should only wear makeup for your own enjoyment, and never because someone tells you to. If people are pressuring you to wear makeup when you really don't want to, ignore them and be yourself. Of course, if wearing makeup makes you feel good about yourself, then go for it. Wearing more makeup won't necessarily make you look more beautiful. If anything, it may make you look older and overdressed for the occasion. In fact, most professional makeup artists choose to keep their makeup light and natural during the day. It is only for the evenings and special occasions where they go for the dramatic looks.  For a simple, every day look, try a tinted moisturizer, neutral eyeshadow, some mascara, and lip gloss. Keep the blush or bronzer light. If wearing dramatic makeup makes you happy, then go for it! You might want to give your skin a break every few days, however. Concealer is not mandatory, but it can help cover up problematic areas, such as pimples of under eye shadows. If you feel self-conscious about a pimple, cover it up with some concealer. You don't have to wear concealer with other makeup. You can wear it by itself. . When it comes to making themselves beautiful, people have tendency to only focus on their face and hair—but hands are important too. Keep your hands soft by wearing a moisturizing hand lotion, and don't pick or chew on your nails. Keep your nails trimmed, and use a manicure brush to clean under them every night. Don't be afraid to paint your nails, or even get a professional manicure. A little bit of color never hurt anyone.  If you do choose to paint your nails by yourself, remember to take the old nail polish off first. Wearing nail polish on top of chipped, peeling nail polish will look messy. To protect your nails and make your polish last longer, remember to apply a good base coat before your nail polish, and a good top coat after you are done. Don't use nail polish as a replacement for proper nail care. Take care of your nails first, then think about nail polish. Most girls will just...

You should see “S,” “W,” “SW,” or “X” on your furniture’s tag. “S” means you can only use water-free, solvent-based upholstery cleaners, which you can purchase wherever cleaning products are sold. “W” stands for water only, and “SW” means both water and solvents are safe.  If your tag is labeled “S,” head to the store and purchase a specialty upholstery cleaner instead of taking a chance with other cleaning products. You can also find upholstery and carpet cleaners specially made for “W” upholstery. “X” means the upholstery should only be professionally cleaned. If the accident occurred on a removable cushion, take it off before waste can soak through to the furniture’s body. Carefully blot urine or scoop up feces, and do your best to avoid rubbing the waste into the upholstery. If the spot has dried, remove any solid waste, gently blot the area with damp paper towels, then soak up waste with dry paper towels. Be sure not to use water if your upholstered item is labeled “S.” Just spray it with a solvent-based upholstery cleaner. Use a solvent-based or enzymatic cleaner, and make sure the product you use is labeled for your upholstered item’s letter code. Spray the soiled area, let the cleaner sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then blot the area thoroughly with dry paper towels. If you're cleaning a mattress, or if water is safe to use on your upholstered furniture, you can also blot the area with 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of dish detergent mixed with 1 cup (240 mL) of lukewarm water. After treating the stain and blotting the area dry, sprinkle about ¼ cup (130 mg) of baking soda over the accident spot. Let it sit for at least 2 to 3 hours, then vacuum it up using the bristled hand attachment.  Pet odors can sink deep into soft, upholstered surfaces. The baking soda will help absorb and neutralize foul odors. Baking soda is safe for most types of upholstery, but it’s always wise to test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

You should seek medical help during the first signs of a miscarriage. Recovery depends on your personal health and stage of pregnancy. Recovery usually takes between a couple hours and a couple days.  An ultrasound can be used to detect a miscarriage. You have several choices about how you wish to proceed medically. The right choice depends heavily on your own personal preference and your stage of pregnancy.  You can let the miscarriage happen naturally if there are no signs of infection. It takes anywhere between one and four weeks for the process to complete. This process can be emotionally difficult. Many women opt to speed a miscarriage medically. Medication can cause your body to expel the pregnancy and might minimize side effects like nausea and diarrhea. This treatment works within 24 hours in 70 to 90 percent of women.  A surgical procedure may be necessary if there is heavy bleeding or infection. Your health care provider will dilate your cervix and remove the tissues from inside your uterus. This procedure could potentially damage your uterine wall, but such complications are very rare. These symptoms include heavy bleeding, fever, chills, and severe abdominal pain. Call your doctor or 911 for emergency treatment.If you are going through 2 or more maxipads in 2 hours, you may have heavy bleeding. Get medical help as soon as possible. After a miscarriage, your doctor may prescribe you certain medications. These can prevent infections and help manage the pain. Take any medications the doctor prescribes as directed.  Most medications will be prescribed to prevent hemorrhaging. The farther along you are in your pregnancy, the more likely hemorrhaging will be. Your doctor will prescribe medication designed to help your blood clot and prevent excessive bleeding. Take all the meds as directed. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.

You should spend a short amount of time covering your qualifications, but most of your speech should focus on what you plan to change or accomplish if you get elected. If you can, try to group these together into a memorable category or snappy message. Here are a few examples of common themes, although you should try your best to turn one of these into a more specific, original topic:  Memories your class shares and personal memories that many people will connect to, such as your first day at the school. Overcoming obstacles. Talk about how your classmates overcame problems related to academics, finances, and health, and how proud everyone is that they're standing here. The diversity of your classmates and celebrating the rich variety of experiences, personalities, and interests at your school. Describe some of the many ways people will go on to do good in the world. You may not consider yourself a great writer, but there are some decisions you can make that will make any speech more engaging:  Address your audience directly. Ask them questions to get them thinking, although you shouldn't expect an answer. Use groups of three. The human brain loves repetition, and especially trios. Start three sentences with the same phrase, speaking louder each sentence. Use emotive language. Try to provoke a strong emotional response in your audience, not present a list of facts to them. If it's relevant to your topic, you should thank your teachers, parents, or other influences on your life. But don't go into a lot of detail unless it's part of an engaging story; you could easily bore or confuse the audience. Including a quote from a popular movie or a reference to a famous event at your school will keep your audience excited, as long as you only use this technique a few times.  Don't tell stories that only a few friends will understand. Even references that your whole class will get should be used sparingly if there are parents in the room as well.

You should stand approximately 8 inches (20 centimeters) away from your friend, just as you would stand if you were measuring your own PD in the mirror. Do not stand too close or too far away to ensure an accurate reading. Unlike measuring your own PD in the mirror (where you can't avoid looking at your own reflection), having a friend measure your PD requires you to look past that individual. Try having your friend crouch or sit in front of you while you stand so that she is outside your field of vision, and stare at something in the distance about 10 to 20 feet away. You'll need to keep your eyes perfectly still while your friend measures your PD. They should line the ruler up just as you would on yourself in the mirror. Your friend should align the zero millimeter mark with the center of one pupil and measure across where the center of your other pupil falls.

You should start keeping a guest list before you start working on the invitation.  Be sure you include any friends, family, and coworkers that you would like to invite into your new home.  Limit the guest list to the number of guests appropriate for the amount of space you have available.  If you have a small space, consider hosting 2-3 smaller parties rather than one big one. Remember that more people lead to a more expensive party; if your budget is tight, try limiting the guest list. It is good to have people to your home soon after you move in, but not too soon.  You should have time to unpack, decorate, and clean most of the house. Planning a party 2-3 weeks after you move in can give you enough time to prepare and unpack, but will give you an added incentive to get yourself settled. Invitations should be sent at least 2 weeks ahead of time for most parties.  Shorter notice can be given if the party is more casual/informal.  Use social media or an electronic invitation service if you want to send electronic invites and cut down on party-related expenses.  For a more formal gathering, consider sending paper invitations. Be sure to include the date, start time, and end time on your invitation. Request an RSVP so that you can plan for food and drinks appropriately. Most house-warming parties feature finger foods that people can munch on as they are mingling, seeing your new house, and drinking.  Consider the time of your party when planning for food.  If your party takes place at a common mealtime, guests may expect to be fed.  For example, a party that takes place from 4-9 should probably provide a full meal for dinner. Consider what types of food the people attending would enjoy eating: for example, if one is a vegetarian, don't prepare a meat-heavy selection. Be realistic about how much time you will have to prepare food.  If you won’t have much prep time or if you have a limited budget, try keeping your food options simpler.  A few easy party foods are: fresh fruits and vegetables with dips, cheese and...

You should sweep daily, and a dust mop is ideal. Simply run the dust mop over the floors to pick up any dirt and debris. Shake it out over the trash if needed. If you prefer a bristle broom to a dust mop, you can certainly use one to clean your floors. However, look for one that has synthetic fiber ends (exploded tips), which will be the most efficient. You can vacuum hardwood floors as often as you'd like, though once a week is recommended. Simply set your vacuum to the setting for hardwood floors. If your vacuum doesn't have that setting, try turning off the beater bars and rotating brushes.  You can also use a handheld soft brush attachment. This will help sweep up debris while being gentler on your floor than a beater bar. Vacuuming will pick up most of the dust and debris on your floor.

You should track your pet’s weight throughout hibernation to know if your pet is healthily losing weight or dangerously starving. Weigh your turtle or tortoise now to get a baseline weight, and keep weighing your pet every 2-3 weeks.  Use the same scale you will use leading up to and during hibernation. Use a digital scale for animals under 6 lbs (2.5kg) to ensure accuracy. Before you fast your turtle or tortoise, you should feed your pet higher levels of vitamin A since hibernation depletes stores of vitamin A. At the beginning of summer (12-16 weeks before hibernation), begin adding vitamin A-rich foods to the turtle's diet.  You can simply swap out some of these foods for other things your turtle normally eats.  Some good sources of vitamin A include:  For tortoises: carrots and squash For turtles (non-meat): Leafy green vegetables like kale, broccoli, mustard and collard greens, and dandelions; orange vegetables, like alfalfa, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes; orange fruit, like cantaloupe and peaches For turtles (meat): fish and baby mice If your pet already gets a lot of vitamin A, just keep feeding it as normal. Towards the end of summer (late July, or 6-8 weeks before hibernation), swap out some of your turtle's normal food for higher-fiber options.   Good sources of fiber for both turtles and tortoises include alfalfa and timothy hay, both which are high-fiber weeds and grasses. If your pet normally eats a high-fiber diet, just keep feeding him as usual. Many turtles and tortoises die because owners hibernate them with undigested food still in their digestive tract. Do not try to hibernate a turtle or tortoise who has eaten within the last month; instead, delay hibernation. Ask your vet for a specific fasting time for your species.  Undigested food kills hibernating pets in 2 ways. Either the food decays and causes fatal bacterial infections inside your pet; or the food decays and creates large clouds of gas, which press internally on your pet’s lungs to suffocate it. When in doubt, contact your vet. ...

You should use 16 or 18 gauge wire, which can be found at any home improvement store. Cut the wire down to about 3 inches (7.6 cm). Use round-nose pliers to make loops facing opposite directions on the ends of the wire. One loop should curl up, the other should curl down. Wrap the wire around something sturdy and round, like a dowel rod or even a mascara bottle.  You can add beads to the wire before you loop it to add a little more flair to the ring. Don’t worry about making this too small – wire rings are adjustable. You can make your own stud earrings, or use wire to create a dangling design. Purchase stud backs from any craft store and hot glue anything to the front of them, making instant earrings.  You can glue pearls to stud earrings for an elegant look. You can also use something like colorful gems or buttons for a more playful set of earrings. You can also make wire earrings. Cut a piece of jewelry wire to the length you want the earring to be plus 1 inch (2.5 cm). Bend the wire about 1 inch from the end so it forms the hook that will go in your mom’s ear. Loop the bottom of the wire so the beads don’t fall off. Then place beads on the wire in the design you like. Necklaces are also really easy to make. You can pick up chains from the craft store, then spend time adding beads or charms your mom will love. You can also customize it by drilling on a hole in small objects, inserting a jump ring, and closing it around the chain. For example, you can use a seashell you found on a family vacation, drill a hole in it, and add it to a chain for a great piece of jewelry and a fun memory!

You should use elastic that is 2 inches (5 cm) or wider so that it does not dig into your belly. Wrap the elastic around your waist, at top edge of your pants, where they meet your pelvic bones. Mark a length on the band that is comfortable and not too tight. Remember that you want the elastic to be tight enough to keep the pants on, but also allow a little room for growth. Cut off excess any excess elastic. Sew the ends of the elastic band together. You may want to choose black, blue or another color to match your pants or a patterned fabric that will create some attractive contrast.  You will need at least 1/4 of a yard for the fabric waistband. A Lycra/cotton blend will work well. If you buy a length of knit fabric, ensure that it is fairly elastic, so that it does not stretch too far. If you choose a t-shirt, find 1 that fits snugly over your belly. You can cut a horizontal section of the shirt to use as your waist band. Subtract 2 inches (5 cm) from that measurement. This is your width measurement for your fabric waist band. Cut it so that it is between 14 and 17 inches (35.6 to 43.2 cm) tall. If you have a short torso, choose a 14 inch (35.6 cm) measurement, and use a longer measurement if you have a long torso. Sew the side together on your sewing machine. The new seam should be folded in half and you should have both rough edges at the bottom and the fold at the top. Depending upon the width of your elastic band, you will need to measure the width plus 5/8 inches (1.6 cm). For example, if you have a 2 inch (5 cm) elastic band, then measure 2 and 5/8 inches (6.6 cm) up from the rough edge. Mark the measurement around the entire fabric loop. This will allow you to stretch the fabric when you pull your pants on and off. You want to sew between 2 layers of folded fabric, but be sure not to sew through both sides of the loop. It should stop at the line you have just sewn. Use a zig zag stitch again.  This will close your casing for the elastic band.

You should use the full name of the university or college where you took the course. Write it out in plain Roman letters (no italics) and end the name of the institution with a period. For example, if you took the course at the University of Michigan, you would write “The University of Michigan.” Just writing “Michigan.” isn’t correct. You don’t need the semester, just the year you took the course. Write the year in regular Roman letters (no italics) within parentheses and then add a period. For example, if you took the course in the fall of 2010, you would just write “(2010).” after the name of the institution. You should include the course name and number, as well as the full title of the course, in italics. Only the first letter of the first word of the title and subtitle should be capitalized. Then end the title with a period. Say that you’re taking a history course. The name and number is HIST 101, and the title of the course is “The Ancient World.” You would write that as “HIST 101: The ancient world.” If the title of your syllabus actually says “course syllabus,” you should include that in the name of the course.

You shouldn't be afraid to blow your nose in class if you do it in a considerate manner. Every single human being blows their nose, and guess what? You shouldn't be embarrassed to do it too. Be sure to turn away from others when you blow. Facing a direction other than at someone else is a fundamental rule to remember when blowing your nose in the presence of others. Blowing your nose overly hard not only makes it louder and therefore more embarrassing, it can also have detrimental effects, especially if you have a cold or excessive bacteria in your nasal passages.   Don't blow too hard. Blowing too hard can cause excessive pressure which may force mucus back into your sinuses and ear canals. Instead of blowing through both nostrils, place a finger over your tissue and one nostril and close it off, blowing through the other nostril, then switching nostrils. Instead of trying to clear all of the mucus from your nasal passages at once, blow your nose with more frequency and less force-this will also keep the noise to a minimum.  When you have a cold or runny nose, the mucus will continue to develop, so you won't be able to simply clear it all at once. Avoid “honking”- remember, blowing with excessive force can actually prolong the symptoms and in the long run cause you to need to blow your nose more rather than less.

You took the time to look up an article on how to flirt with your boss, so you are clearly giving this some thought already.  Ask yourself why you want to flirt with your boss?  Are you bored?  Do you feel an attraction to your boss that you think could develop into a real relationship?  Are you trying to gain some kind of advantage or favor in the workplace?  Knowing why you are interested in flirting will help you determine if it's worth the risk. A bit of casual flirting with your boss might attract just enough extra attention to land you that key assignment you were hoping for, or help you secure a more desirable shift.  Of course, this could also backfire depending on the culture of your workplace. Do you intend to simply flirt and leave it at that, or are you hoping to eventually begin a romantic relationship with your boss?  Figure out what your limits are, and don't offer more than you intend to offer.  Leading someone on is unlikely to get you anything you want. Relationships in the workplace, especially between supervisors and employees, are prohibited in many companies.  Getting involved with your boss might put one or both of you at risk for losing your jobs.  If your flirting is unwelcome or excessive, you also run the risk of crossing the line from flirtation into sexual harassment, which in many offices can result in immediate termination.  Finally, you might run the risk of losing your credibility or reputation for trustworthiness at work.  Even after-hours interactions with your boss can be used as a legal basis for one or both of you to be fired, so beware!  Research the relationship guidelines in your workplace before proceeding with any workplace flirtations.  If they aren't published, ask an HR person for assistance. If you are afraid to make these inquiries because you fear that people will gossip, remember that they will gossip even more if you get involved with your boss, so factor that into your decision. If your flirting doesn't get you in trouble at work, it could still make you...

You typically sprain an ankle when you roll it. This can happen while walking, running, jumping, falling, or playing a sport. Whenever story you make up, be sure to stick to it. Decide on the details of your story before telling it. Changing your story can lead to someone discovering that you are faking a sprained ankle. Since you are faking an injury, it may be difficult to remember that you are supposed to limp when you walk. You can place a rock, or something small but uncomfortable, in your shoe to help remind you that you should be walking with a limp. You should not trust anyone to keep your secret. Therefore, if you really want everyone to believe that your ankle is really sprained, you should refrain from telling anyone the truth. Before you fake a sprained ankle, you should do your research. Read about what a sprained ankle looks and feels like. Read about recovery times and treatments. The more you know about sprained ankles, the easier it will be to fake a sprained ankle. It takes most people between two and six weeks to recover from a sprained ankle if they follow their doctor’s medical advice. You should remember to continue the act for several weeks. It is also wise to gradually “recover” instead of instantly recovering. To “slowly recover”, gradually eliminate the wrap, brace, or crutches. Begin to put weight on your ankle again. Take one to two weeks to “fully recover.”

You usually have pink undertones if you tend to turn pink or red when you blush. Complement your skin tone by using a light blonde color that looks a bit ashy so it does not appear too yellow or orange.  You may also try a light brown color that is ashy if you have light skin and darker hair. Try to avoid using reddish or warm tones for your brows even if you have warm blonde or brown hair. Eyebrows tend to be ashier than the hair on your head, so using a cooler shade will provide a more natural look. If your skin tans easily or you have naturally olive skin, go for an eyebrow shade that is medium brown. This will ensure your browns stand out against your complexion. Look for a light to medium brown shade that has a matte finish if your skin is dark or black. The color should be 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone so it stands out on your face and makes your brows look defined.

You value your friends and those close to you; well, who is closer to you than you are? Give yourself the same kind, thoughtful, and respectful treatment that you give to other people you care about. If you had to hang out with yourself for a day, what is the most fun/enjoyable/fulfilled/calm/contented type of person you could be, while still being yourself? What is the best version of you? Be responsible for yourself and for boosting your self-esteem. If others aren't telling you you're great, don't let it get to you. Instead, tell yourself you're special, wonderful, and worthwhile. When you believe these things about yourself, others will recognize that glow of self-confidence and begin confirming your self-affirmations in no time! . Whether it's your sense of style, or even your manner of speaking, if your preferred way of doing something strays from the mainstream and produces positive outcomes, then be proud of it. Be a character, not a type. Learn to communicate well – the better you can express yourself, the easier it is for the people who like you as you are to find you and the ones who don't to just steer clear. Sometimes comparison causes us to compare apples with pears. We'd like to be a top movie producer in Hollywood when we're a lowly, aspiring scriptwriter. To see that top producer's lifestyle and find yourself wanting as a result is an unfair comparison – that person has years of experience and hobnobbing behind them, while you're just starting out, testing the waters with writing skills that may one day prove to be exceptional. Be realistic in your comparisons and only look to other people as inspiration and as sources of motivation, not as a means to belittling yourself. . The common thing a lot of people do is copy others' actions because it seems like the better route to fit in, but really, shouldn't you stand out?

You want a razor that’s comfortable to hold and sharp. There are several different types of razors to choose from.  The straight razor is the sharpest option and usually takes the most time and skill. This razor might not be the best option for shaving with water unless you’ve been using it for a while. The safety razor (or a double-edged razor) is another option if you want a close shave. It’s also usually used with shaving products, but you can use it with water if you know how to use it.  Disposable razors are probably the best option for shaving with water. They’re easy to clean, and you can dispose of the blades (or entire razor) after a few uses. Electric razors can easily be used on dry or watered skin. The trade-off is that you won’t get as close of a shave as you would with any of the other options. If it’s not, unclog the blades by giving it a quick rinse under a running faucet, or wipe it down with a cloth or small brush. If you aren’t sure if your blade is sharp enough, you can test it with a few methods.  Wet your thumbnail and drag it across the edge of the razor, without applying pressure. You should be able to tell how sharp it is by feel. This test isn’t as reliable as some others, but it’s quick.  You can also drag the pad of your thumb across the edge of the blade to test its sharpness. If it’s sharp, you’ll feel a sticking sensation. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or you’ll cut yourself.  Shave a section of your hair to see how many strokes it takes to get a clean shave. It shouldn't take many (1 or 2). You’re dealing with open pores that are vulnerable to bacteria. A clean environment will help avoid bacteria getting into your pores. If you want an especially close shave, exfoliate your skin before shaving. It scrubs off dead skin that clogs your pores and exposes your hair follicles.

You want something with good ventilation for hotter days, and your best options will be a cotton or Lycra blend, or even bamboo. Some legging styles also have mesh stripes or bands, which can increase breathability as well. These have a sporty look that will go well with oversized t-shirts and jerseys. The waist should be tight enough that your leggings stay in place when you move, but loose enough that it doesn't press uncomfortably on your stomach or hips. Try a few squats and kicks. If the leggings seem to bunch or sag anywhere when you move around, try a different pair. It's especially important to try on leggings beforehand when you are buying printed or patterned leggings. Some patterns look don't look as good when they're stretched out, or you may find that they're unflattering once you put them on. We tend to wear lighter, brighter colors in summer, but you'll still want your leggings to be darker than what you wear on top for the most flattering look. If you do choose lighter-colored leggings, be sure to wear them with a long top, since they are often more transparent. This will make your legs appear longer, and will also match well with cool, comfortable summer shirts like crop tops. They can also be useful for making your midsection appear longer and thinner, and avoiding bulging or “muffin-top” around your waist. Try wearing high-waisted leggings with a cropped t-shirt and sneakers for a casual summer look. When the temperatures are really high, capris can be a cooler way to wear leggings. They should come down to just under the muscular part of your calf. Tapered legs, rather than flared, will make for a more slimming look.

You want the audience to remember who you are, so don’t mumble or rush through saying your name. Speak loudly and confidently, and make sure you enunciate every syllable. If you have an unusual or difficult to pronounce name, you may want to add a small remark to help your audience remember it. For example, you can say “My name is Jacob Misen, like ‘risen’ but with an M” Think about how you will help your audience and briefly communicate that rather than just listing your credentials or job title. Your basic credentials will probably be listed on the presentation program, anyway. Ask yourself what special skills and experience you have that would interest your audience and introduce yourself with those. If you are VP of Marketing at a large company, it can actually be much more effective to say something like “I have more than a decade of experience using Facebook marketing ads to target clients in the dance industry” rather than simply stating your job title. If there are other details about yourself that are interesting and relevant to the presentation, you don’t have to list them all in your introduction. Instead, add them to your handout or powerpoint presentation. Your audience can read them there if they want. You can also specifically refer your audience to the handout or powerpoint for more information. For example, if you want to let them know that you have articles in many international newspapers but you don’t want to list them all out, simply say “I’ve written for a number of internationally recognized news organizations. You can find the full list on the first page of my handout.” You don’t have to give the audience everything about yourself right away. Stick to the most interesting and relevant information. If you have other interesting personal details you want to share, you can add them in other parts of the presentation. For example, you could say “when I designed a website for Richard Branson last year …” to inform your audience that you have an impressive resume, without having to list it...

You want the stems to be at least 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) long. You can use just one type of flower, or a variety.  Daisies and dandelions are classical, but you can also use alyssum or forget-me-nots. Flowering herbs, such as mint, thyme, oregano, chamomile, and lavender work as well. Not only will they look beautiful but, they will smell amazing. This will make the flowers easier to braid and take off any unnecessary bulk. This will keep the flowers fresh while you work. Braided flower crowns can take a while to make, and the picked flowers may wilt by the time you get around to using them. Wrap a small piece of wire around the stems a few times, and snip the excess off. Try to get wire as close to the blooms as possible. You want all the blooms to be at the same level; if one sits higher than the other, your crown will look uneven. The wire will hold the flowers together while you braid them. If you don't have any floral wire, use twist ties or thread instead. Take the left stem and pull it over so it ends up between the middle and right stems. Take the right stem and bring over so that it ends up between the left and middle stems. Keep doing this until your braid is 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) long. The new flower should sit just beneath the one that is already in the braid. Keep them together; they will count as one stem. The new flower should sit just below the flower that is already in the braid. Don't let the stems spread apart. Try to keep them together and think of them as one thick stem. The sections you are braiding will get thicker and thicker as you continue to add flowers.  Try using different types of flowers. This will add color, texture, and beauty. Don't be afraid to weave in a few leaves, vines, or grasses. You want the garland to be a little large, because you will be overlapping the two ends. This will make the crown more secure in the end. Place the wire just beneath the blooms of the last bunch of flowers. Wrap the wire around the end of the garland a few times, then snip the excess...

You want to always make sure that you feel safe when you are approaching a stranger, no matter the gender. Make sure you are in control of all of your facilities and have a way to leave a situation. Avoid talking to strangers when impaired. Always try to make sure that someone you know is aware that you approaching a stranger. The first way to converse with a man is by introducing yourself. An introduction will show that you are interested in getting to know or conversing with him. Maintain eye contact to show that you are being direct.  State your name and repeat theirs. Repeating someone's name is an excellent way to not only remember it, but also show that you are interested in getting to know him.   Speak clearly with a strong voice. You want to give a good impression and you want your listener to understand what you have to say. To get to know someone new, ask questions to him. Ask questions on a neutral subject such as hobbies or pets. Try and avoid inflammatory questioning such as politics or religion. Ultimately, you want to start a conversation with a man and not just do all of the talking. To do this, practice active listening skills. Ask questions about his replies, or ask him to clarify a topic to show that you have been listening. You do not want to dominate the conversation by you doing all of the talking. Here are some ways you can try active listening:  "Oh, I hear that you like football. I have always been more partial to hockey." "That's very awesome that you like Thai food. I know of this great restaurant downtown!" "You like go rock climbing? I don't know much about that, can you explain how to do that?" A great way to get to know a man is to compare hobbies. Once you find that you have something in common, you can compare what you know with what he knows. This tactic can keep a conversation going in a natural and easy manner.

You want to be able to articulate with specificity why this particular person or people are necessary components of building a successful business. The prospective partner should have financial resources, connections, or vital skills you lack. This might be the most important step of all, because the answer will determine what type of partnership you create and the terms of your partnership agreement.  For example, if the only reason you need a partner is to gain access to capital that you wouldn't otherwise be able to gain access to, you will want to strongly consider a limited partnership (LP). The other forms of partnership are legally going to give your partner a say in management, which you probably won't want. If cost sharing is your primary motivation for entering into a partnership, consider a limited liability partnership (LLP) if that form is legally available to you. For example, an attorney might consider it necessary to have a secretary. One secretary might be able to easily do the clerical work for two attorneys, so it is more cost effective for them to form a partnership to share costs. Consider the intangibles. You are going to be financially intertwined with your partners for the life of the partnership. Things like work ethic, character, and personal compatibility are going to influence the ability of your partnership to be successful, so think carefully about these types of issues. You will want to discuss the roles and responsibilities of each partner prior to writing up the partnership agreement, and certainly prior to going into business. You need to know what your partners expect from you, and they need to know what you expect from them. Make sure that the reasons they want to form the partnership are compatible with the reasons you want to form the partnership. While you don't need to iron out every detail, make sure that you and your partners also go over your initial business strategy before you take the plunge. Starting a new enterprise is always difficult, there's no need to add a...

You want to be able to position yourself comfortably. When shooting paper targets (and the like), comfort is your number one goal. You want to be able to practice at your optimal performance. When shooting animals, you want to be invisible to them. Even squirrels have a very keen sense of predators (that's you). If they see you, they'll likely run, and it may take several minutes before they brave the open land again.  With animals, height advantage is good. It allows you to see more area. But be sure to conceal most of your body in a thicket, tall brush, or by crawling. With larger game, studying their patterns and location over multiple trips to the same area can be very useful; if you know a deer's escape route is past a long straight path, force them to run their escape, post on the path, and wait for them to cross.

You want to be comfortable, but not so comfortable that you lose focus or fall asleep. (Your bed’s not the greatest option for homework, it turns out.) You also need adequate workspace to spread out.  Find a desk or table with a top that rests somewhere between your waist and ribcage when you sit at it, so that your elbows can rest easily upon it without having to hunch your shoulders forward. You also want to be able to rest your feet flat on the ground.  Use a comfortable chair that fits the height of the desk / table. You may want to skip the fancier desk chairs that rotate, roll, recline, lift, etc., if these will only become distractions.     If you are using a computer, you want enough space to place it about 1 ½ to 2 ½ feet away from you. A study area that is too dark will not only make it easier to nod off, it can exacerbate eye strain, which will put a damper on any study session. Harsh lighting, such as fluorescent light, can be bad for your eyes too. Use a desk lamp to focus light on your workspace, and also a nearby table or overhead light to brighten the area. If natural light is available, certainly make use of it. Be aware, though, that while the natural light provided by a window can be refreshing and calming, the temptation to stare out the window may hamper your studying. Consider draperies or translucent blinds, or face away from the window. Make sure you have all the materials you need for studying close at hand, so you don’t waste time fumbling around for a ruler or pencil lead refills.  Keep classic school supplies like pens or pencils, erasers, paper, notecards, highlighters, and so on in assigned areas on the desk or in a handy drawer. Keep a traditional pocket dictionary, thesaurus, and calculator nearby, even though your phone can probably do the jobs of all three. Using your phone to do long division or spell-check is an open invitation to distraction by the million other things you can do on it.

You want to begin by stretching your tongue as much as you can. You may try by pressing your tongue to the bottom of your mouth. You will need as much tongue as possible to make the three-leaf clover. If you cannot make and hold a taco shape with your tongue, do not attempt this technique. You will only frustrate yourself. The skills learned in both making a taco shape and a two-leaf clover are prerequisites for the three-leaf clover shape. Preferably your index finger with the fingerprint side toward your tongue. Whichever finger you use it must be strong enough to resist your tongue. You will be pressing your tongue against it to form your three-leaf clover shape. You don't have to put it on your lips but you want it close enough that you cannot stick your tongue all the way out without moving you finger. Don't use your mouth to hold the taco shape. Move your finger so it is close to your mouth but not in your mouth. You need room to move your tongue forward and backward as you learn this trick. one way to position your finger is to stick your taco shaped tongue out. Put your finger beneath your tongue, point toward the ceiling. The nail of the finger should be under the tip of the tongue. Move your tongue back an let your finger come straight up. That's a good place for your finger to stay. During the two-leaf clover trick these muscles to the left and right of your finger relax. They should relax here too. The taco shaped tip will point upward creating the single, third leaf. This is the most difficult part. If you are going to get stuck, this is where you will get stuck. If you can't yet do the two-leaf clover, practice that instead. The three-leaf clover trick requires much more tongue dexterity. During the two-leaf clover you will learn to manipulate the tip independently of the sides. You will need this skill to successfully form the three-leaf clover shape. The more practice you have rolling your tongue, the more you will not need supports. You will be able to form the three-leaf clover without...

You want to choose a style that can be disassembled for easy cleaning and one that will hold two to three days' worth of nectar, or about 6 to 12 ounces. In general, the saucer-styles drip less, create less mess, and attract fewer bugs.  Or you could make your own. Whichever style you choose, just make sure it's red (most are). Red naturally attracts hummingbirds. . While you could buy store-bought hummingbird nectar, it's ridiculously easy to make your own and much cheaper – it's just sugar water. And you can make it in bulk if your little birdies go through quite a lot – it'll keep for around a week.  Most experts suggest a ratio of 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. You simply bring it to a boil and let the sugar dissolve (see the linked wikiHow guide in the bolded step). However, some sources do suggest adding just a bit more sugar during colder months to give the birds more energy. But not too much – too much more and it gets syrupy and spoils quickly.  Do not use anything besides plain sugar (can be toxic for the birds) and do not use red food coloring. If your yard is a first-time hummingbird stop, just start with filling your feeder halfway. Why? Sugar water can spoil and you'll need to change it in a few days anyway. Filling it halfway full creates waste (you could've stored it instead of throwing it down the drain, too).  Once the birds start coming, you'll get a good idea of how much they're eating, how often you need to fill it, and how full you should fill it when you do. If it's always hot where you live, you may want to fill it halfway full at all times. Hot weather leads to faster spoiling rates. Sugar water goes bad quickly in the sunlight, so hang your feeder under a tree in some shade if at all possible. What's more, this is respite for the birds – give them a cool, relaxing spot to take a drink and they'll surely come back. Late spring is the general time hummingbirds start migrating and you'll see them through your area. That being said, some experts suggest setting out your feeder a couple...

You want to establish your identity and intentions to the unknown caller without giving too much information, but you also want to put them at ease. However, you also need to confirm who they are whether it’s a business contact or person you met informally at a party.  If you met the person briefly try then you can introduce yourself by describing those circumstances. If you encounter a secretary or some other agent first then you might mention these circumstances so they can pass that along to the target person. For example, you can call and ask "I met Mr. Doe at yesterday's business luncheon and would like to speak with him again." Or if you get the person directly say, "Hello Ms. Jane, I met you at the lecture on the way out and would like to speak with you further." If you are calling someone you didn't meet then use what you can learn in context. For example, if you are calling someone at an electronics department store you might start by telling the receiving caller: "Hello, I am interested in your latest deals on blu-ray players." Or if you are calling a professional at their home, a professor from your university but not one you have a class with, you can try something such as: "Hello Dr. John, I attend the State University and would like to consult with you on a matter." Upon calling someone you met in an informal setting you should still use your first name, but perhaps without titles. You don't want to offend a stranger by being rude or wasting their time. So be courteous while in conversation and when scheduling calls and return calls.  Call during the day--preferably around the middle of the afternoon or early evening.

You want to find a place that is quiet, somewhat secluded, and easily accessible. Most importantly, do it in a location where you feel relaxed and confident. The better you feel about things, the more relaxed and assured you will be when you finally ask her out.  Make sure she is in a good mood as well -- if she had a terrible day or seems cross, wait until she is in a better mood. Whenever possible, ask her out in person. It may be harder and more nerve-wracking, but you're more likely to succeed and can gauge her response in person. Movies and TV have conditioned many people to think that the only way to get the girl is a big, expressive moment. But that couldn't be farther from the truth in the real world. Simply pulling her aside after class or work, catching her on her way out the door, or sitting next to each other on the bus is enough. It is not what you do that really matters here, it is what you say. Don't try and over-rehearse the conversation, as you cannot predict what she is going to say. However, practice keeping it brief and saying what you want to say quickly and easily. 1-2 sentences should suffice. Some ideas include:  "I've really enjoyed spending time together, and I'd love to take you on a date." "Would you want to go out with me on a date this weekend?" "Let's grab dinner sometime, just the two of us?" "I really enjoy your friendship, and I'd like to try taking things a step further." At the very least, be ready to offer one or two days that work for you. Asking with specifics is a much better way to gauge her answer. If she wants to go on a date, have a suggestion ready:  "Great! How about dinner on Thursday?" or "There is a great play Saturday at 8 I was interested in, want to join me?" Have at least one back-up date in case she is busy, or ask her when a good time is if that fails too. And the end of the day, you just have to blurt it out.

You want to find an older filing cabinet with a solid bottom. You don't want one that's rusty or in bad shape though. Remove the drawers and also the tracks if you can. Sand out the inside and remove as much paint (if there is any inside) as you can. Tip the filing cabinet so that the back is now the base and place the cabinet where you want your new veggie bed to be. Using outdoor safe spray paint, repaint the outside a fun new color to start bringing the cabinet back to life. Look for spray paints that are graded to stick well to smooth metal or enamel. Get a lining material and line the inside of your cabinet. Weed liner is good for this. It will help keep the metal from becoming damaged too quickly. Unless you drill holes in the new bottom of the cabinet, you'll need to place several inches of filler material at the bottom of the cabinet to allow drainage. Start with a base, single layer of river rock, add a 3" layer of gravel, and then add a 3" layer of sand. Now, fill your filing cabinet with planting soil. Leave about 2" at the top. More soil can be filled in if needed once your plants are put in. Grow or transplant your vegetable plants. Enjoy your colorful, modern garden box!

You want to get the blood pumping and get your arms loose. Starting out on heavy weights can cause serious injury to your arms, shoulders, elbows, and wrist joints. Warm up before each exercise. Perform the same motion as your exercise, but use 30% of your maximum weight, aiming for smooth, easy motions.  Swing your arms, individually, in circles at your sides. Start with small circles, then gradually swing your entire arm. Jog or use the elliptical for 5-10 minutes. Even if the machine doesn't use your arms, this elevates your heart-rate and prepares your body to exercise. Working out your triceps every day will paradoxically slow down your muscle growth. When you work out, you're stretching and ripping muscle fibers. The "growth" of your muscles is when they repair themselves, building up stronger than before. But if you never give your muscles time to actually repair and get stronger you won't get ripped triceps -- you'll rip your triceps! This doesn't mean you don't work out on off days, just that you focus on muscles other than your triceps. Your muscles are made of protein, so it makes sense that your body needs protein to repair and strengthen muscles after a workout. Chicken, eggs, turkey, beans, chocolate milk, peanut butter, tuna, and protein shakes are some of the most common post-workout fuels, as they have enough protein to satisfy your body without being overly rich or fatty.  Be sure to drink plenty of water with your meal and keep drinking throughout the day as well. Eating protein doesn't mean an all-protein diet. A chicken breast or can of tuna with a sandwich or pasta, a piece of fruit, and some water is a wonderful, simple meal to refuel. The triceps are smaller muscles that are naturally incorporated into a variety of other exercises. This means you can often work on your triceps without focusing strictly on them, making them a part of a more full-body workout. Exercises include:  Bench press (all forms) Push-ups Pull-ups (palms facing away from you) Weighted Dips Military Press...

A pitch is a conversation, not a presentation. Practice incorporating your buyer’s unique perspective into your argument for your idea.  Practice out loud and with a friend. Practice with appropriate material. If you need documents detailing market value, expected growth, sample advertisements, images of a full-fledged product, or legal paperwork, then use them during practice. Practice until you are confident that you know your material and can manipulate it comfortably in a dynamic conversation. A speech is not engaging; a question and answer session is.

You want to know what the expectations are for the cheer squad. Prior to your audition, try to get a sense of what kind of cheers the team does.  Ask other people who have auditioned. Every squad has different expectations regarding how to audition. Some squads may disapprove of you bringing in a spirit poster, while others may encourage it. You may be expected to wear school colors for some schools, while other schools may simply require you wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move around. Talk to the coach or the head cheerleader. Ask him or her for tips on how to audition. Go to some games. Try to memorize some of the cheers and moves. Make sure you're able to keep up with the team. A lot of quality practice time can help you shine. You may get nervous during auditions. You're less likely to slip up if you've practiced to the point you have a solid routine committed to memory.   Make time to practice every day. Schedule time in your day to day schedule for practice. You could, for example, practice for an hour after dinner each night. If you have friends auditioning as well, ask them to practice with you. You guys can help keep each other on track. Make sure you have everything that's required. You may need a permission slip, for example. Ask beforehand what materials you need, and make sure to bring them with you to the audition. You do not want to look underprepared. Relax and do your best when you're auditioning. Remember, cheerleaders are supposed to make the game fun for everyone. If you're having fun, you're more likely to look like cheerleader material. You can always try out again next year. Many people have faced rejection at some point in life, so take this as an opportunity to try harder next time. It's not necessarily a personal reflection of you. There were probably a lot of talented people trying out that year.  You can always get involved with the cheer squad in some other way. You can volunteer to help out with coaching, for example, or for a position like team manager.

You want to make sure that the letter looks as professional as possible. One way to do so is to write the letter on professional letterhead, if possible. This letterhead could be the official letterhead of your place of work. At the very top of the letter, put the date on which you write the letter. The date should be left-justified. Below the date, provide the official name and address of the judge. This will normally be the courthouse in which she presides. For example, you may write:  Honorable [Judge’s Full Name], United States District Judge, 11 Commerce Street, Dallas, TX 75242. This name and address should be left-justified and written out as you would an address at the top of any letter, below the date, as in this example. Below the name and address of the judge, provide the appropriate salutation. The appropriate salutation for addressing a judge is “Your Honor” or “Dear Judge [Judge’s last name]. You should write down the defendant’s first name at the beginning of the letter. This can go in the first sentence of the letter or separately between the address and the salutation as follows: RE: [Defendant’s Name].

You want to remove the eggs as soon as they are laid. If you are intentionally breeding goldfish, you may have spongy material known as "spawning mops." Goldfish may also lay their eggs in fixtures in the tank, such as underwater castles. Wherever your goldfish have spawned on, remove this material from the tank.  Gently flush the material in clean water. You want to make sure any debris from the tank is removed. Once the material is removed and flushed, you can transfer it to a new environment. Once the eggs hatch, you want to make sure the conditions in your tank are safe and hospitable. Transfer your eggs to a clean environment.  When you place the fry eggs in the aquarium, do not fill the tank too deep. Ideally, a fry aquarium should only have water 6 to 7 inches deep. The eggs should hatch 4 to 5 days after being laid. Goldfish fry require warmer temperatures than average fish to thrive. You'll need to keep the tank between  70–75 °F (21.1–23.9 °C). You may need to install a heater, which you can purchase at a local pet store, in the tank. Keep a thermometer in the tank so you can make sure the water is always around the proper temperature. Fish tanks get dirty very easily without proper filtration, which can be particularly dangerous for young fish. Stop by your local pet store and pick up a power filter, which is a filtration system that hangs on the back of a goldfish tank.  Filtration systems are generally simple to install as long as you follow instructions carefully. They can usually be fitted onto the bank of most fish aquariums. There is really no such thing as too much filtration when it comes to goldfish, as they're particularly messy. It may be a good idea to install two filters. In the event one filter gives out, a second filter can pick up the slack. Exposure to germs, even for a brief period, can be dangerous for young goldfish fry. An aeration system must be put in place to make sure your fish get enough oxygen. Air stones or bubble wands, which you can purchase at most pet stores, work...

You want to start preparing for the shedding process before it even begins. To do so, you'll have to keep an eye on your snake and watch for the signs that it is about to shed. When you start noticing signs, begin to prepare.  Watch your snake's eyes. They will have a dull, blueish white appearance just before the snake begins to shed. You should also take note of the snake's current skin. The skin will begin to dull just before shedding. Snakes need a lot of humidity to shed properly. One way you can increase the humidity in your snake's environment is with a shedding box. Take a box, like a shoebox, and make sure it is well ventilated by poking holes throughout. Place damp paper towels within the box, allowing the snake a damp place to shed. You can also try misting the cage lightly to increase humidity. Take a spray bottle and fill it with lukewarm water. You can also mist your snake with water just before shedding, if your snake will allow this. Monitor the humidity in your snake's environment. You can get a device at a pet store, or a department store, that measures humidity in your snake's cage. During the shedding process, snakes need a cage that is between 50 and 70% humidity. If the humidity in your snake's cage is below this level, there are several steps you can take to improve humidity.  Add a large water dish to the cage. Cover the top of the cage. If you have a screen top on the cage, you can safely cover half the top to increase humidity. Try using orchid bark substrate, which refers to the bedding that lines the bottom of the cage. Orchid bark tends to hold more humidity than other products.

You want to try to sit in the teacher’s blind spot so they hopefully don’t notice you. Where you sit depends on the style of your classroom and your teacher. Try to sit in the edge of the classroom, out of the teacher’s main focus of vision. You can sit in the back to hopefully hide or the very front so the teacher possibly completely looks past you and forgets you are there. You can try to sit next to someone who answers a lot of questions to hopefully blend in next to them. While the teacher is teaching, look toward them. Don’t look out the window, fidget, doodle, or text. At least look like you are paying attention to what they are saying. The teacher might find it disrespectful and think you are not paying attention if you seem distracted. When your teacher is scanning the room trying to decide who to call on, do not make direct eye contact with the teacher. However, don’t clearly avoid eye contact and definitely don’t look down. Look away for a second then look back at the teacher then look away again. Try to find a good balance between completely avoiding looking at your teacher and looking at them too much. Even if you aren’t confident and have no idea what the answer to the question is, pretend you do. Sit up straight and don’t look worried or nervous. Don’t look eager to answer the question, but don’t look like you clearly were not paying attention either. The teacher will likely call on someone who either seems overly confident or nervous.

You want to use your white paint first. If you happen to paint over the line with white, it is easy to cover up with darker paint. If you choose to do it the other way, you’ll have a very difficult time covering your mistake. Decide which part of the ball you want to make the bottom. Use the lower mark you made with your elastic and paint from there down. Also, paint the small inside circle from your washer white. Use two coats of paint for a bright white finish. Next, paint the red part of your ball. This is the top. Paint from the upper line you made from tracing the elastic. Paint from this line up.  Because black is darker than red, if you get some of the red over your line, you can still paint over it to correct it. Once again, use two coats of paint. This is the center ring around your Poké Ball. Carefully paint the ring black, including the outline you created with your washer. If you wait for the red and white paint to dry, you can place your elastics around your ball once again at the outline of your black center part. Use these as a guideline and to protect your red and white paint from being ruined. Poké Balls are shiny. Finishing with a top gloss will make your Poké Ball look more authentic. Once your paint has dried, use a shiny top gloss to paint over the entire ball. To avoid the gloss from smudging, paint your ball one half at a time so that you can safely rest it without ruining any wet paint.

You want your hair to be clean, but not too clean. Washing it 3 to 4 days beforehand will ensure that your hair is free of dirt and build-up, but has developed enough oils to protect it during the dyeing process. Avoid using too many hair products 3 to 4 days before you dye your hair. This includes mousse, gel, and cream. You can use a leave-in conditioner cream or spray. Allow your hair to air-dry, or speed up the process using a hair dryer on a cool setting. Once your hair is dry, you are ready to dye it. The conditioner will help keep your hair nourished throughout the process. Separate your dry hair into 4 equal sections. Apply the bleach to 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) partings within those sections, starting from the ends, to make sure each strand is saturated. Leave it on for the time recommended on the package, but check your hair every 5 to 10 minutes in case it develops faster. Rinse the bleach out, then follow up with shampoo. Apply purple hair toner, afterwards following the instructions on the bottle.  Don't lighten your hair more than 3 levels at once. If you want to go lighter, go to a trained stylist, and be prepared for multiple sessions. You can tell how many levels you're lifting your hair based on the developer volume you use, from 10 to 40. A 30 volume developer typically lifts 3 levels. Consider balayage. This way, you won't have to retouch your hair as often because your roots will already be their natural color. The box will say that it is for "natural hair" or "women of color" on it. This type of dye is different from other boxed dyes in that it is much gentler. It is also designed to work on darker, more porous hair.  If you have long hair, buy 2 to 3 boxes of hair dye in case you run out.  If your hair is short, 1 box of hair dye should be fine. Mix up your dye according to the package instructions, then apply it to a thin strand of hair behind your ear. Wait for the time recommended on the package, watching the strand closely. Rinse the dye out, then note the following:  If the strand didn't...

You want your ice cream cake to stay together while you're icing and decorating it, which is why keeping it as frozen as possible is important. Most normal buttercream frostings will crack or break once they’re frozen. A whipped cream topping is the best choice — it will stay nice and smooth after being used.  You can also use a chocolate fudge frosting, or opt for an ice cream flavor to use as the icing. If you use an ice cream flavor, let it soften for a few minutes to make spreading it easier. Buying whipped cream pre-made (including commercial whipped toppings) is perfectly fine, or you can whip up your own. If you don't want the base layer of your frosting to be white, add a few drops of your chosen color into the frosting. Mix the food coloring and the frosting together using a spoon until it's blended evenly and you're satisfied with the color.  Start by only adding 3-4 drops of food coloring until you've mixed it into the frosting — you can always make the color darker. If you've made your own homemade whipped cream, add the food coloring in last. Use a knife, spoon, or other utensil to apply frosting to the cake's sides first, creating an even layer. Once the sides are covered in icing, start layering the top of the cake. Try to get the frosting in an even layer on top to make decorating go much smoother.  If you're worried the cake is beginning to melt during the icing process, stick it back in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before continuing. The cake may start to melt after 10-20 minutes of being left out. Use the spatula to smooth out the sides and top of the cake, removing any lines left over from the initial icing process. This should give the cake a smooth, professional look. Hold the offset spatula at a slight angle to use the edge of the spatula for smoothing. Once the cake has a base layer of icing covering it, you’ll want to let it set. Once the 20 minutes are up, you’re ready to continue decorating.

You want your spritzer to be cold, so it’s important to start with white wine that’s extremely chilled. Place it in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours or the freezer for 1 to 2 hours to ensure that it’s cold enough before you make the cocktail. You’ll know that the wine is cold enough when it frosts the glass that you pour it into. After you’ve mixed the wine and club soda, cut a slice off a fresh lime. Stick the slice on the side of the glass and serve the spritzer while it’s still chilled.

You want your supervisor to immediately understand your request without even opening the email. Specifically state that you are requesting time off, and provide the dates you are requesting in the subject line. For example, a subject line could be: "Pat Smith Requesting Vacation Days 10/10/2020 through 10/25/2020." Address your supervisor directly by name and include a salutation. It may seem like an unnecessary or unimportant thing, but sets a warm tone and makes the email look more professional.  Your greeting doesn’t need to be anything fancy. Saying something as simple as “Hey Jane”, “Hello Dave”, or “Greetings Aden” is perfectly fine. Be aware of your supervisor's titles and preferences for how they are addressed. If your place of employment typically uses last names in communication, using your supervisor’s first name in an email might seem disrespectful. Similarly, if your supervisor uses a title prefix (like doctor, professor, judge, etc.), you should use it in your greeting. Even though you have already put the dates you want off in the email subject line, you should restate them in the first line of your email. Put this information in the form of a request. For example, you could write: “I would like to request vacation time from Wednesday, October 10 through Thursday, October 25." Immediately after you give your dates that you want off, provide the reason you are making the request. You should be honest about why you want the time off, even if you think your reason won't get a positive reply. If you lie about why you need time off  there could be severe repercussions, and it will be much harder to request time off in the future.  For example, you might write: "I am requesting these days off because my family is going on a vacation to Hawaii." If you are requesting time off because of an emergency or an unexpected event, make sure you emphasize this in your explanation. Funerals, medical issues, or even surprise weddings are some examples of unexpected events that would make your supervisor more...

You were created to make a mark in this life and not just born to survive. You may not realize it but one way or another, someone feels so blessed with your existence.So stop saying you’re nobody. Most of life is a choice, having the freedom to act and decide on your own.Start deciding and stop complaining. Rushing isn’t all beneficial.Take time to smell the flowers.  Don’t overdo yourself. Learn to appreciate life today, for tomorrow, you may not have the chance to do so. There are two types of people: proactive and reactive. The reactive always see the trouble and blames the circumstance to other people, while proactive see troubles as a bridge to success.  Which are you? One of the big disadvantages of a hurried lifestyle is the lack of meditation or reflection. We are too busy, too preoccupied.  But if you really want to find true happiness in this life, you have to be still, to quiet your mind so you can hear your heart. Knowing that life is imperfect gives you enough space to expect it to be hard.  You have to accept that life’s circumstance is not ALWAYS within our control and all you can do is accept, understand and keep moving forward. Life is 99% choice and 1% chance. In times of affliction, it can be tough to see the lighter side.  But do always remember, that all storms have endings.  Just keep looking forward. A goal without action is nothing but a dream.It’s very good to know what you want and set your plans.  However, if it’s only written, it can’t be realized.  You have to take action.  You have to wake up and stand up. Remember, life is 99% choice and 1% chance.We are in control of our life 99% of the time and yet a lot of us give this all to chances.  We let things happen instead of making it happen. One of the differences between achievers and non-achievers is the size of their dreams.  Big people achieve big dreams because they think big.
