Being dishonest with your parents will only make them trust you less. If you've done something wrong, fess up as quickly as possible. This will help your parents see that, if they trust you, they will be notified as soon as you make a mistake or need help. If you make a mistake, tell them what you're going to do to make it right. Don’t keep secrets from your parents; instead be open with them to build trust.  For instance, if you recently got a speeding ticket, tell your parents immediately. You don’t want them to risk finding out in other ways. Say “I am so sorry, but I got a speeding ticket coming home today. I didn’t notice how fast I was going, and I apologize. I understand if I need to be punished.” Follow up with "In the future, I will pay careful attention to my speeding, and even try to drive below the speed limit." Be honest, even when you haven't made a mistake. Opening up about your thoughts and feelings can help create trust between you and your parents. Remember that your parents have valuable opinions just like you. Explain to your parents that you want to hear their advice in certain situations. Take what they say into consideration and remember that both of you should be heard in conversations.  For instance, even when your parents are giving you a long lecture about something, don’t get on your phone or daydream. Focus on their words and apply their advice. Practice active listening by reflecting what you're hearing back to them and confirming that's what they're saying. This helps them know that you're invested. At the end of the conversation, thank them for their help and advice. Encourage your family to sit down and have dinners together daily. Keep them updated on everything going on with you. You never want a teacher or other adult to approach them with information about you that they don’t know, especially if it’s not good news. You might say something like “I did pretty well on my Calculus exam today, but I was hoping to do better. I’m kinda bummed that I got a B and not an A.” If you...

Being dumped is not easy, whether you deserve it or not. Be prepared for your friend to cry, beg for you to be friends again, or even get extremely angry. You were strong enough to breakup with your friend, and you're strong enough to deal with the aftermath. Try not to let yourself get wrapped up in the person's emotions. Remember to stick to your boundaries and cut off all contact if necessary. Sometimes a former friend will try to make your life harder in small, passive aggressive ways. This is especially true if you go to school together or work in the same place and have to see each other frequently. The person might try to turn others against you, spread gossip about you, or make you look bad somehow. Stay strong and realize that if someone behaves so horribly, your decision to end the friendship was right on.  If the behavior escalates from passive-aggressive to just plain aggressive, you may need to take further action. Talk to your teachers or supervisors if it's happening at work or school. See if you can provide evidence that you are being targeted. You may have legal options as well. If the person won't leave you alone and his or her behavior constitutes harassment, you may want to  file a restraining order. Breaking up with one friend often affects the people you both knew. If you were both part of the same larger friend group, things might be pretty awkward for awhile. Hopefully your other friends won't take sides, but if they do, you know who your real friends are. You'll probably feel a sense of freedom after breaking up with a bad friend. Even so, breakups are often tough. It's emotionally difficult to let someone down, and the consequences can last much longer than expected. After the friendship is officially over, make a point of spending time with people who make you feel good. Surround yourself with loved ones and try to put the old friendship out of your mind. You may also feel surprisingly sad to lose the good parts of the friendship with the person you broke up with. After all, you...

Being empathetic means being able to listen to someone and identify with their feelings, while being aware that their feelings are distinct and separate from your own. Approaching your girlfriend with empathy will make her feel less alone and that she can count on you as a source of stability in times of distress. Try to practice the following empathetic skills:  Show her respect and acceptance regardless of what she feels and experiences. Her thoughts, feelings, and emotions are real and true to her. Be nonjudgmental, supportive, and a tender guide to self-empowerment. Use kind words of encouragement, but also try to gently guide her towards improved self-esteem. Speak less and listen more. When you guide her towards improved self-esteem, make sure that she also understands the decision to change relies solely upon her. Always be a source of stability and support that she can rely on in time of need. Being judgmental towards other girls will tell her that judgmental remarks are okay and normal for her to experience, both from other people and from herself. Mind how you describe other girls, and avoid comparing her to them. If you respond judgmentally to other girls (e.g. "girls who plaster their faces in makeup are so fake"), then you'll just be increasing the insecurity of your girlfriend. If you’re prone to body complaints yourself, you won’t be helping your girlfriend develop a positive body image. Avoid body-shaming comments about yourself and others.  For example, don’t say, “I look so scrawny. I need to get in the gym.” Saying something like this only brings the focus to things you don’t like about your body. It also reinforces negative body comments. Negative self-criticisms and insecurities can grow in the mind when a person is low on self-care. If your girlfriend is feeling down on herself, inspire her to pour love and compassion back into herself. Encourage her to develop a self-care practice that makes her feel good about the body she has. Suggest that she visit the spa for a massage, sign up for...

Being in a relationship does not make you a better, more successful person, so don't think less of yourself for being single. Instead, think about the positive aspects of single life. You have the freedom to choose where you live and what you do, and you don’t have to deal with the stress and annoyances that come with any relationship. Being single also allows you to put your professional and personal goals first. Plenty of people in committed relationships wish they could pursue their own goals without having to compromise. Call an old friend and catch up, ask a loved one to have coffee or lunch, or invite some people over for a game night. A romantic partnership is not the only satisfying type of relationship. In fact, being single is the perfect time to nurture other relationships that can last a lifetime.  If you want to vent about your feelings, be honest with your trusted loved ones. It might be hard to talk about being lonely at first, but discussing it with a friend or relative can help you feel better. Take advantage of technology to stay connected with loved ones. When seeing each other face-to-face isn’t possible, talk on the phone, exchange emails, connect through social media, or schedule video chats. If your environment is dreary, work on creating a happy, vibrant space to help combat the lonely blues. Try giving your room a fresh coat of paint in a bright color, like a revitalizing green or chipper blue.  Get some flowers or plants to liven up your house. Open the window blinds and swap heavy, dark drapes for sheer curtains. Letting more light into your home can help you feel more connected to the outside world. Try to cut down on clutter, too. A more organized home can help promote a positive mindset. Regular exercise improve both physical and mental health. Go for activities that get you out of the house. Try walking around your neighborhood, going for nature, swimming, or taking a group yoga, spin, or martial arts class. Walking around your neighborhood can help you get to know more of your...

Being in the middle of an anger-inducing situation can cause tears and frustration, fueling your anger and limiting your ability to deal with the issues at hand. If you begin to cry out of anger, and are in a position to change your surroundings, simply walk away. Removing yourself from the situation can give you the time and space you need to control your tears.  Try saying, “I am feeling very angry right now and need to remove myself from this situation.” You could also say, “I need to go for a walk. I’ll be gone for 15 minutes and we can discuss this issue when I return.” A great way to relax, regain control, and stop crying while angry is through breathing. A series of deep breaths can calm you, while the shallow breathing common during an episode of anger can actually cause more anxiety and angry feelings. Try taking a slow, deep breath through your nose, allowing your stomach to expand as you inhale. Exhale fully and repeat until you feel calm.  Try taking at least 5 deep breaths, exhaling fully between each breath. Try inhaling for 4 seconds, holding your breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds. Relaxing your facial muscles can help calm your mind, stopping tears in their tracks. For example, if your eyebrow muscles are tense or furrowed, you are more likely to feel anger and experience a bout of crying. Try relaxing the lower middle part of your forehead, while breathing deeply.  You can also try relaxing your jaw by touching the tip of your tongue to the back of your front teeth. This will help you unclench your jaw and relax your facial muscles. If it feels hard to relax your  muscles, try progressive muscle relaxation. Intentionally tense your muscles, then relax them. If you find yourself angry with tears forming, a good way to help curb the crying is by looking up. This method will allow the tears to pool in the bottom of your eye, instead of running down your cheeks. The act of looking up can help you ground yourself while also curbing the flow of tears. Try breathing deeply while...

Being more creative and the act of creating things can be a profoundly positive experience in your life. This lets you contribute to the world while also changing how you look at things. Draw pictures, make sculptures, write, dance, sing, sew your own clothes or find other creative outlets. No matter what it is that spurs your creativity, you only get better with practice. Be nice. Don't lie. Consider the feelings of others. Be generous. Be forgiving. Basically, be a good human being. This one can be hard to do sometimes, but this is really one of the best things you can do it improve yourself and the world around you. Maya Angelou once said: "I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver." Learn a new skill or pick up a new hobby. This will give you something to get out and do, making you and your life more interesting and well-rounded. Pursue something you've always wanted to do and you'll be happier and more satisfied than you thought you could be. Start by getting up off the couch! Stop the sedentary lifestyle, even if you aren't going to the gym or anything. Go on walks with someone you love. Play with your kids or your younger siblings. Experience the life beyond your living room. If you feel up to the task, exercise! All of these things are good for you and will improve you as a person as well as your quality of life. Helping other people will give you perspective, make you more respectful, increase your enjoyment of life, give you a sense of fulfillment, and (obviously) provide some good to the lives of people who really need it. You can volunteer for whatever cause speaks to you, volunteering locally, or even abroad. There are lots of options.  Volunteering at homeless shelters and youth centers can provide a lot of good with a huge impact on the future and society. Habitat for Humanity is another good way to volunteer. If you have special skills, find places or ways that you could volunteer and make use of your skills. You will change profoundly as a person when...

Being on the cutting edge of new trends before they gain popularity will attract more users to your content. Pay attention to new ideas or products that you think will be popular and repost content that you think will trend online. Things that you could post include photos of fashion trends or the cover of a new music album. Giving your photos a realistic and candid feeling will make your posts more popular. Choose photos of you in popular places and with your friends. If your account is for a business, take photos of employees to make scenes feel more realistic and personal to your consumer. Make sure that your content is interesting to your audience. Choose photos that are high quality and high resolution. Posting blurry or confusing photos can turn people off to your content. When you repost content, make sure it's of a high-quality as well.

Being outgoing is a tough goal to reach because it includes a lot of small behaviors. That is why it is a good idea to break this large goal down into smaller ones. Instead of telling yourself to be outgoing, set goals to have at least one conversation with a new person each day or to smile at five people every day. Try to make small talk (or if that's too much, just smiling) with one stranger or acquaintance every day, say "hi" to someone on the street, or ask your barista’s name. These little victories will keep you going and make you feel ready for loftier challenges. If you aren’t sure how to approach others in social settings, try joining a club for a particular interest. This gives you the opportunity to interact, usually in small-scale settings, with others who share an interest of yours.  Look for a club that encourages socializing, such as a book club or cooking class. You can ask questions and get into discussions, but the focus won’t be entirely on you. These situations can be great for shy people. Shared experiences can be a powerful bonding technique. Joining a club where you’ll share experiences with others gives you a head start -- you’ll already have common ground established. You don’t even have to leave your house to be outgoing. Invite people to come over for a movie night or dinner party. If you’re welcoming and inviting, others will be more likely to feel as though you value them (and they’re more likely to have fun). Try creating events that will foster conversation. You could host a BYOB wine tasting, where everyone has to sip and compare notes. Or, you could hold a potluck dinner, where everyone has to bring their favorite dish of their grandmother’s (and a copy of the recipe). Having a reason to talk with each other helps a party stay lively and enjoyable (and, let’s be honest, food and wine never hurt). A hobby can help you feel more in control, which may help you to be more outgoing. If you master a hobby, then you may feel proud and confident as well, which can give you even more...

Being part of a club is great because you get to meet people and slowly get to know them. Search online for clubs in your area or visit local shops that are related to your interests to see if they have postings about local organizations. Then, join 1 or more clubs to meet more guys.  For example, you might join your local chapter of the Sierra Club if you enjoy outdoor activities. Similarly, you could visit a comic book store to find a group that discusses comics or a club that plays board games. Meetup.com and Facebook groups might also help you find a local club. Taking a class is great for two reasons. First, you’ll likely meet some men. Second, it’ll also help you become a more fun, well-rounded person. Check the websites for your local community college, library, and educational organizations to find classes that interest you. Then, enroll in a class that you think will also appeal to men.  You should be able to find classes on topics like art, cooking, and writing at local nonprofits or stores that sell materials for these activities. Ask your librarian if they have any upcoming classes if you can’t find the information online. Many community colleges offer continuing education classes that aren’t part of a degree program. Doing volunteer work is also a great way to meet guys, and you’ll be helping your community. Pick a cause that’s important to you or choose volunteer work that’s fun for you. Then, look for a local organization that needs your help. Here are some suggestions:  Work in a local soup kitchen. Collect books for underprivileged children. Bathe and walk dogs at a local animal shelter. Become a docent at a local museum. Volunteer for a local film festival. Check local news sites, Facebook events, and social media pages for local organizations to find events or festivals in your area. This might include things like art openings, live concerts, parades, and farmers markets. Then, go to the ones that pique your interest. While you’re there, say “hi” to people you meet and try to turn...

Being responsive to interested buyers and your customers is important in any sales situation, but perhaps even more so on eBay where auctions can move quickly and people must rely only on email as a way of being in touch.

Considering downloading the eBay app to your smartphone so that you can manage your communications more easily. Be friendly in your emails.  It's always a good policy to treat people with courtesy.

And do it in a timely way.  eBay success is built on reputations.  Be generous and quick in giving feedback in the hopes that your buyers will do the same for you.  Don't withhold feedback--waiting for comments from buyers first before you post feedback about them; you'll seem petty. Unless a transaction was particularly horrific, come up with something positive to say to your buyer.  Even a simple "Thank you for your business" is better than not leaving any feedback at all. You can purchase small wholesale lots of products that most people use on a daily basis and make those the focus of your eBay business.  There are a lot of products that fit this description.

Being scared is about what pathways are being used and created in the brain. To stop being scared you have to basically rewire your brain. It's not as hard as it sounds thanks to neuroplasticity.  Neuroplasticity is involved in processing memories and how we learn. By practicing "desensitization" a person can change the pathways in their brain that react fearfully to the things that scare them. "Desensitization" is basically just being exposed to the thing that scares a person in gradual and controlled environments. Start by asking yourself reflective questions including what are you afraid of? Is your fear realistic? What is the worst thing that can happen to me in this situation? What can I do to protect myself from this outcome? Chart your emotional reaction to physical stimuli and surroundings that cause you to be scared. For instance, if spiders scare you, the physical stimulus is the appearance of the spider. From there the emotional reaction is fear, being scared and this can get heightened all the way to panic levels, depending on your response. Charting this will help you cultivate a detached reaction instead of an emotional reaction to the appearance of a spider. A detached reaction means that you react to the things that scare you from a place of observation rather than emotional reaction. This is something you have to practice and it helps to have mapped out your thought patterns so you understand how scary things make you emotionally react.  Recognize that you're being confronted with something you find scary and that you can either have an emotional reaction (which will in turn trigger more and more fear and anxiety) or you can have a detached reaction. Monitor your physical reactions. These may include trembling, a frozen feeling, heart palpitations, nausea, stomach pain, dizziness, crying, disrupted sleep, shallow or rapid breathing, feelings of anxiety or terror, and/or disrupted sleep. Coach yourself with mantras. Pick a couple mantras and write them down so that you have them with you at...

Being stuck in lockdown is stressful. While everyone reacts to these kinds of situations differently, it’s not unusual to feel a wide variety of different emotions. Try not to judge your own reactions or those of others, and remember that it’s completely natural to feel things such as:  Anxiety or fear for yourself or others Confusion or uncertainty Frustration Boredom Irritability or anger Loneliness Sadness Guilt, particularly if sheltering in place makes it hard for you to take care of your regular responsibilities or obligations If you start to feel overwhelmed while you’re cleaning, gathering supplies, doing remote work, or caring for family members, stop and take a brief break. Pace yourself so that you don’t get too stressed and start to burn out.  Get up and walk around for a bit, have a healthy snack, or do a few minutes of meditating or deep breathing. After completing a difficult task, like sanitizing your bathroom, take a break and do something fun. For example, you might read for half an hour or watch a little TV. If you feel stressed or anxious, look for things you can do to relax. This will help you feel calmer and more focused. A few options include:  Meditating Taking a walk, run or bike ride Doing deep breathing exercises Listening to peaceful music Stretching or doing yoga Taking a warm shower or bath Drawing, coloring, or playing music Getting exercise can boost your mood, raise your energy levels, and lower your risk of developing health problems. Try to work out for at least 30 minutes a day, even if you’re just doing jumping jacks in your living room or running laps around your back yard.  You can also get exercise by doing household chores, like vacuuming your home or mowing the lawn. If you’re staying with your family or other people, you can make physical activity more fun by doing it together. For example, you could have a dance party with your kids or follow a workout routine on YouTube with your roommate. Writing down how you feel can help your emotions feel more manageable. Jot...

Being tired has never improved the quality of anyone's work. Tiredness can slow your output, dull your performance, and, if you're prone to sleeping spells, seriously embarrass you in important meetings. On top of this, severely insufficient sleep has been correlated with a variety of health problems. Don't fall asleep at your desk or miss work because you've gotten sick - get 7-8 hours of sleep a night to be at your best. At best, workplace fatigue can be a minor distraction. At worst, it can be a serious safety concern. If you have a job where peoples' safety is at stake (for instance, if you're an air traffic controller or you drive a semi truck), it's imperative that you keep a good sleep schedule. Science has shown that a good exercise regimen improves your workplace mood and productivity. This is especially true for sedentary office jobs. If you spend most of your time at work sitting in front of a computer, make special effort to spend a little time every day exercising - not only will it make it easier to sit still at work, but it will make you feel happier, sharper, and more motivated. If you're starting an exercise routine for the first time, try a moderate workout combining with some. If you're trying to improve your working efficiency, you may be tempted to pursue your work with dogged seriousness. Often, this isn't a good idea - you may increase your efficiency in the short term, but if you never allow yourself any pleasure at work, it's easy to burn yourself out, leading to fatigue, stress, and a lack of motivation. Try to keep high spirits - if you feel good at work, you'll be more likely to stay motivated and ambitious.  Do small things to improve your mood that won't hinder your productivity - listen to music through headphones, take stretch breaks, or take your laptop to the break room for some peace and quiet. Make the most of your meal breaks - relish the chance to enjoy good food and tell jokes with your workplace friends. Use coffee with caution. Coffee can be a fantastic pick-me-up on...

Believe it or not, boys get just as shy as girls do when it comes to making the first move. Smiles are friendly and welcoming – a smile can make a guy feel instantly secure about walking over and introducing himself. On the other hand, a frown is sure to make him nervous and keep him away. This goes hand in hand with smiling. You can smile all day long, but unless you make eye contact when you do it, it won’t signal to him that you want him to come talk to you. If you make eye contact and smile as you pass him he will notice, especially if it happens often. If he smiles back, all the better! Eye contact is great, but avoid outright staring at him. Glance over occasionally, but don’t stare too long. This is far more important than your hair or your clothes. Having confidence is not only an attractive personality trait, but it also makes you a more dynamic, interesting person. Someone with confidence will automatically attract people. Radiate positivity! When a guy sees you talking to his friends, it makes him feel much more comfortable about approaching you himself. Just make sure you aren’t flirting with his friends! He’ll notice that too, but not in a good way. When you’re around a guy that you want to talk to, being buried in your cell phone is definitely not a signal that you want to chat. Keep your head up and look alert, ready to engage. Communication is so much more than just using words – your body language also speaks volumes, even from across the room or hall.  Don’t cross your arms. It definitely sends the signal that you are not approachable. Watch your posture. When you slouch, you communicate to a guy without saying a word that you don’t feel confident enough to have him approach you. Keep your gestures smooth and firm. Relaxed hands imply confidence, whereas clenched hands can make you seem anxious and unapproachable. Try not to squirm in your outfit or fidget with anything. Doing so can make you appear anxious.

Berets are traditionally made out of wool felt but any thick felt should work for this project. You will not need more than a half a yard of felt for this project. Remember that the felt is going to be resting against your forehead, so make sure it's not itchy or otherwise uncomfortable directly on the skin. This will determine the diameter of the opening in the beret and should give you the perfect custom fit. If you don't own a tailor's measuring tape, which is simply a measuring tape that is really flexible, try to find a regular measuring tape or ruler that can be easily wrapped around your head. This should give you a good measurement for the band of your beret. Use pattern making paper or any thin paper you have at home. Your beret will be made of three pieces: the band, the top of the hat, and the underside of the hat. Remember that each piece will have to have a bit of seam allowance added to it, the fabric that gets wasted when you sew a seam, so that it will end up the right size.  Make a pattern piece for the band. The band will be a long, skinny  rectangular shape with tabs sticking out along one of the long sides. For the length, add 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) seam allowance to diameter of your head. Make the width 1 1⁄2 inches (3.8 cm) wide. Once you cut out the basic rectangle this size, you will also need to cut out little "v" shapes along one of the long sides every 1 inch (2.5 cm). Each "v" will need to be 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) deep, at its deepest point. Make a pattern piece for the top of the beret. This will just be a large circle. Decide how wide you would like your beret to be, around 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter is probably good, and draw a circle that diameter on your pattern paper. You can do this with a homemade compass, consisting of a pencil tied to a string, or you can find a round item you can trace that is approximately the right size. A record would work well for this. Make a pattern for the underside of the beret. This will consist of two circles. The larger circle will be the same...

Besides being filled with extra fats and carbs which will make you bloated, tired, and gassy, you may also be telling your date that you’re not willing to treat them to a nicer place. Skip the fish sticks and chicken tenders and order fresh fish or grilled chicken. Besides being chock-full of preservatives that may add to bloating and gas, you may be putting off vibes of immaturity. Leafy greens are nutritionally fantastic, but besides being difficult to digest (creating gas and discomfort), they can get stuck between your teeth.

Big bracelets, long necklaces, and oversized rings are perfect. Just like your clothing, don’t hesitate to layer multiple pieces of jewelry in all sorts of colors and styles. Combine multiple bangles on your wrist in different colors and materials. Layer a few different necklaces. Pop on a large stone ring. Don’t worry, cheap, costume jewelry is totally fine. Imagine you’re a child playing dress-up. Don’t be afraid to do it wrong– just have fun! Like with the rest of your wardrobe, look for scarves in fun prints and bright colors. You can throw them around your neck like you traditionally would, or you can mix it up. Tie it around your head for a more interesting look. Cinch it around your waist to complement a flowing dress. Put it wherever you want! Scarves are a perfect addition to the relaxed bohemian style. Strappy sandals, like gladiator sandals, are a must-have in a female bohemian wardrobe. Strappy sandals look great on men too, and Birkenstocks are another comfortable option.  If it’s too chilly to wear sandals, look for other unique options. Women can wear colorful boots, beaded flats, or anything else that is fun and playful. Men can wear anything from boots to suede lace-up shoes to moccasins. Look for footwear that is interesting yet comfortable, because that’s what this style is all about. For women, a floppy hat is a chic accessory to complete a bohemian outfit. Look for fun, relaxed sun hats to pop on to finish the outfit or simply to cover up a bad hair day. Flower crowns are also very bohemian and very trendy right now. Add one to your look for a creative, feminine touch. For men, anything casual and fun can have a place in a bohemian wardrobe. A great addition to a bohemian closet is a pork pie hat– they can complete any outfit. Just like bohemian clothing, bohemian hair is tousled, playful, and flowing. For women, think beachy waves, braids, and loose curls. For men, think slightly tidied bedhead. When it comes to bohemian hairstyles, avoid anything that looks too "perfect" or styled....

Big projects can be intimidating - if they're big enough, it's easy to put them off, wasting time on less-important work until you're forced to tackle the entire project right up against the deadline. As an efficient worker, you should do important work first,  even when that means doing a small part of a large task. It doesn't feel as rewarding to do a small part of a big task as it does to complete an entire small task, but it's a smart use of your time. In the long run, you'll finish your most important tasks faster if you work on them a little bit every day. For example, if you've got to make a big presentation in one month's time, set a goal of creating an outline  today.  It's not terribly time-consuming, so it won't distract you from your other work, but it's an important first step that makes the rest of the process quicker and easier to complete. Unless you're at the  very  bottom of the workplace totem pole, you may have the opportunity to split up particularly repetitive tasks among one or more of your subordinates to save yourself time. Don't give your underlings projects that only  you  know how to complete satisfactorily. Instead, give them the time-consuming, monotonous tasks that keep you from using your talents on more important work. If you delegate work, remember to follow up with your assistant and give him/her a deadline.  Always  be gracious with your subordinates when they help you - if they feel like you appreciate them, they'll work hard for you on future projects.  If you're an intern, an entry-level employee, or someone else who's low-ranking in your company, you can still try to divide particularly monotonous work with employees who are at the same level as you (with their permission as well as the permission of your supervisor, of course). If you use a coworker's help, be ready to return the favor![[Image:Be More Efficient at Work Step 07Bullet01.jpg center If you've got a great relationship with your boss, you can even see if he can delegate some of the work to others for...

Biking is a cardiovascular exercise that, if done regularly, will increase your BDNF. Bike three to four times a week for 30 minutes to an hour. Make sure to incorporate 10 to 20 minutes of fast-paced biking to increase your heart rate further.  Bike around your neighborhood or local park.  The intensity of the exercise is more important than how long you spend doing it. Try to increase the speed or elevation of your biking to make it more intense. Jogging is another cardiovascular exercise that will increase your heart rate and stimulate the production of BDNF. Jog for 30 minutes three to four times a week. Increase the intensity of your jog by incorporating five to ten minutes of fast-paced running to boost your rate heart further.  Go to your local track or park to jog, or simply jog around your neighborhood. If biking or jogging isn’t your thing, do not worry because power walking is just as effective. Start by walking a mile in 20 minutes; this is a pace of 3 mph (4.8 km/h). Do this three to four times per week. The following week, try to walk the mile in 15 minutes; this is a 4 mph (6.4 km/h) pace. Your goal should be to walk a mile in 13 minutes, which is a 4.5 mph pace. Sunlight, which your body converts to vitamin D, also increases levels of BDNF. Try to get at least 20 minutes of sunlight each day to increase your levels of BDNF. For example, instead of exercising in a gym, go to a local park to exercise. Before beginning a new workout routine, consult your doctor first, especially if you are on medications. Let your doctor know what your new workout routine entails. Your doctor may make some suggestions or adjustments to tailor the workout to your individual needs. Your doctor may be able to recommend good exercises to do. Exercises that require more coordination will be better for the brain.

Birds are attracted to the sound of dripping or moving water. You can buy a birdbath or create a shallow pond with a fountain. Make sure it is close to the ground and not made of slippery material. If you are short on time or resources, hang a water-filled container with a hole on the bottom above a dish. Try not to place the water source near trees or bushes where cats might hide. Also, make sure the water is not more than 1 inch (2.5cm) deep. Consider using a heated water source during the winter. For the sake of sanitation, find a bath that is easy to clean. Ensure that the water does not become stagnant or harbor algae. Pesticides are harmful to birds in more ways than one. First, they kill vital sources of food for some species. Second, the chemicals in the pesticides can be dangerous for birds to ingest. In order to attract birds to your property, use natural forms of insect control instead of chemicals on your lawn, trees, and shrubs. Cats, snakes, raccoons, and rats prey on songbirds or their eggs, killing millions every year. No matter how hospitable your yard may seem, having a cat prowling around will act as a disincentive. Keep your cat away from feeding, drinking, and nesting areas if you are seriously interested in attracting birds. Hole restrictors, baffles, and tube entrances are good ways to secure birdhouses. Mounting the house well above ground and using predator repellent are two added safeguards.

Birds do wag their tails, just like other pets. The bird will wag it back and forth. Generally, this gesture means the bird is happy. If you're nearby and he comes to you, that's a sign he's happy you're there. However, he's only happy if his head is up as he walks to you, rather than pointing face-down. While generally not a gesture, cockatiels like to talk when they are happy. They will sing to themselves or whistle. They'll also make little chirping noises.

Bitrex and Mavala Stop are two examples of popular inhibitors, but there are many options available. Check your local pharmacy, big box store, or grocery store. Some options may also be found online.  Each of these inhibitors use a safe, non-toxic chemical that tastes foul.  Read the instructions prior to application. Generally, you'll need to paint the inhibitor on your nails as you would paint polish. When you absentmindedly go to bite the painted nail, you'll get a taste of the nasty inhibitor, making it easier to remember to avoid repeating the same behavior. It might help to first apply a transparent coat of nail polish over the inhibitor as it lasts much longer and smooths the surface of your nails. The smooth surface will also help to remind you not to bite (it might turn out that applying only the coat will be sufficient). Place the bottle in your purse, car, or desk. When one coat wears off, apply another one. Persistence is important when using this method. As noted, there are numerous nibble inhibitors on the market. If one doesn't work for you or if you get too used to the taste, simply switch to another one and continue your efforts. Even if you've stopped biting your nails, you can keep the solution around as a trophy. If you're ever tempted to bite your nails in the future, then you can smell the solution to remind yourself of how unpleasant the experience was.

Bittorrent is the most popular method of sharing files between different computers. By installing a torrent client, you'll be able to download files that other users are sharing. One of the most popular torrent clients is qBittorrent. You can download it for free from qbittorrent.org. Follow the prompts to install the client. If you are installing qBittorrent, you shouldn't be prompted to install additional adware. If you're installing a different client, such as uTorrent, read each screen carefully. You don't want to install additional software. A torrent tracker acts as a search engine for torrents. You can use it to find files that users are sharing with each other. You can usually find most new shows, as well as popular older shows. Search for "anime torrents" using your favorite search engine to find some. Popular trackers that host anime torrents include:  AnimeTorrents KickassTorrents BakaBT Haruichan NyaaTorrents There are a few different ways that you can search for things, depending on what you are looking to download:  To search for a specific episode, add the episode number to the end of the title. Most anime shows use a continual numbering system for shows. Season numbers aren't usually included Add the word "complete" to the end of the title to look for an entire series. This should return torrents that contain all of the episodes released. These can be very big torrents, especially for long shows. It may be broken up into individual volumes. Most anime torrents will have Japanese audio with English subtitles included. Older files may have subtitles hardcoded onto the video. You may be able to find an English-dubbed version as well, depending on the show. The torrent title and details will let you know what languages are included. Try to pick a torrent that has a lot of seeders. They are usually indicated on the search results in the "S" column. Seeders are users who have the complete file and are sharing it for others. More seeders will lead to a faster download. Be careful when clicking this...

Black is the darkest color, but there are still degrees of blackness you can make with paint. The exact shades of red, blue, and yellow that you use will determine the black. Use your choice of oil, watercolor or acrylic paint.  Using Aureolin, Rose Madder Genuine, and Cobalt Blue will yield a soft black while using Winsor Yellow, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, and Winsor Blue will yield a bold black. If you have a basic paint set, whatever red, blue and yellow you have will work. Magenta and cyan are common red and blue to use.

Bleach, renowned for its ability to ruin colored fabrics by turning them white, is a useful tool for distressing old shirts. In this method, a dilute solution of bleach and water will be used to simulate the dulling, fading effect that years of wear can have on bright-colored clothing. This method is best for strong, bright hues (cherry red, traffic cone orange, and so on), but doesn't work as well on dark shades. For obvious reasons, it's also unsuited for whites. As always, only distress shirts that you don't have a special attachment to. You don't want to lose a treasured shirt because you accidentally spilled bleach on it.

Bleaching and dying hair can really dry it out, so you'll want to give your hair a good head start. In the days leading up to streaking it, don't shampoo it or use hairspray and other hair products. Let your hair's natural oils protect it from the chemicals you'll be applying. When you're ready to streak it, start with hair that is completely dry. Your package of bleach may specify that you start with clean hair. Check the instructions before use. You need to separate the hair that will be bleached and colored from the rest before you can begin the process. You can do this with a highlighting cap, or by using hair clips and aluminum foil.   Beauty supply stores sell caps used to highlight your hair. You place the cap on your head and use a hook to pull strands of hair through tiny holes. Use this if you want all-over streaks. Hair clips and aluminum foil is the better technique to use if you want just a few large, bold streaks. Pull back the hair you don't intend to streak and clip it away from your head. Now take a long strip of aluminum foil and place it underneath the section of hair you want to streak. Pinch it around the roots to keep it in place. Put the bleach, developer, and red gold corrector in a bowl. Read the instructions that came with the bleach powder and developer to figure out how much to mix together. The amount you use depends on the size of the bottle you bought, and the brand of product you’re using.  If you're only streaking a few sections of hair, you can half the recipe, since you won't need enough to  bleach your entire head. The finished mixture will look bluish white. Use the tint brush to apply bleach from the tips to the roots of the sections of hair. Use only enough bleach needed to cover and saturate the hair. Continue applying bleach until the hair is completely covered.  It is important to wear gloves when applying bleach. The chemicals used in bleach are strong and can stain your hands and burn your skin. Do not get bleach anywhere near your eyes. If you're using the...

Blend together 1 cup (221 grams) of frozen, unsweetened strawberries, 1 cup (240 mL) of orange juice, 1/3 cup (40 grams) of dry instant nonfat milk, 1/2 cup (110 grams) of ice cubes, and 1/4 cup (28.75 grams) of toasted wheat germ in a covered blender to make 2 smoothie servings. Blend the ingredients until they are completely smooth.  You can add wheat germ to any smoothie recipe. As a rule of thumb, add around 1/8 cup (14.38 grams) of wheat germ for every serving of smoothie. If your smoothie recipe says it will make 4 servings, then add 1/2 cup (57.5 grams) of wheat germ. Fill a bowl with 1 cup (240 mL) of plain Greek yogurt. Instead of topping it with granola, sprinkle 1/4 cup (28.75 grams) of toasted wheat germ on top of the yogurt. Add a chopped peach or apple to the mix for a sweet, fruity flavor. Swap plain yogurt for a flavored yogurt for a sweeter breakfast treat. Assemble the ingredients needed to make your favorite pancakes. Add the wheat germ to your dry ingredients before combining them with the wet ones and continue making the recipe as usual. Add 1/2 cup (57.5 grams) of wheat germ for every 1 cup (120 grams) of flour listed in your pancake recipe.  You may need to add additional milk to make sure the pancake batter is not too thick. It should pour easily from a bowl into your pan. Consider topping your wheat germ pancakes with yogurt, honey, and fruit for a healthier option than syrup. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons (2.4 to 4.8 grams) of wheat germ to your favorite cereal for breakfast. The wheat germ will add extra fiber to the cereal, getting your digestive tract on the right path for the day. You can also replace your cereal completely with wheat germ, if you prefer a healthier option.

Blight (or Tulip Fire) creates brown specks on the leaves and turns the flower grey in color. If any of your bulbs are diseased, dig them up and throw them away to prevent it spreading to other tulips. If only part of the plant is damaged, cut it off to see if you can salvage the plant.  The only thing you can do to prevent disease is to adequately care for your tulips. You can only make sure they get a modicum of moisture, a little bit of shade, and are planted in decent, slightly acidic soil. Aphids can be a problem, but they're easily handled with water spray. If you're dealing with a perennial, you've left the bulb in the ground, and you cared for your tulips adequately, you may find that next year you have another crop of beautiful tulips (you may also find that you have too many – tulips reproduce quickly).

Blind tag, for lack of a better term, played in the pool, is like Marco Polo, except the people not it are encouraged not to make noise. The game should stay in the shallow end. If you can, tie a line to separate the deep end of the pool from the shallow end of the pool. How long will the "it" person have to count for before the game can start? Does it count as "tagging" if the person who is "it" tags the person with his or her foot? Can the players who are not "it" go out of water at all, or do they have to stay in the pool? You can randomly choose, you can all shout, "1, 2, 3, not it!" or you can let someone who wants to be it go first. It doesn't matter who starts, and chances are, everyone will get a turn. Typically, the person should count to 10. He or she can also count above water if that's best. When the counting is over, the fun can begin! The other people should use this time to assume a tactical position, not cornered, but not too open, and as far away from "it" as possible. Unlike in Marco Polo, there is no shouting or talking, and the people who are escaping "it" should try to be as quiet as possible. Since the game will be quiet, the person who is "it" should try to pick up on where people are by the sounds they make in the water. He may also hear people randomly giggling or breathing close by. It's hard to stay completely quiet in the water! The person should just be careful not to move around too fast, and should keep his arms out in front of him, to avoid running into walls. Once someone is tagged, the new person who is "it" can count to ten and start the game all over again. The fun can continue for as long as you want. It's best played when there's no one else around -- if you're darting around with your eyes closed and there are strangers around, you are bound to annoy one of them pretty quickly! Have fun playing "blind tag" for as long as you want!

Blood serums and saliva tests are the most commonly used methods of testing THC levels. Other types of tests, like urine screenings and hair follicle analysis, are considered unreliable because they only indicate that marijuana has been used recently. They may not pick up THC at all after it has passed out of the user's system.  Look up drug screening labs in your area to find out if there's somewhere you can go to have a blood or saliva sample taken. If you live in Australia, you might be able to purchase a home saliva-testing kit to check your THC levels. There are many factors that determine how long THC will show up in a standard fluid test, including your body composition, blood chemistry, and the type and amount of cannabis you've used. In order to reduce the ambiguity of the results, it's important to run a sample as soon as possible. Depending on how frequently you use marijuana, you may have a few hours to a few days before all detectable traces have disappeared from your system.  In most parts of the world where THC is labeled as a controlled substance, the acceptable legal concentration you're looking for is 5 nanograms per milliliter of blood or less.  Because of how rapidly THC breaks down in the body, a fresh sample will usually have deteriorated before it can be processed. To date, there is no surefire way to detect THC while it's active in the body. It's important to be aware that whatever test you use might not be totally accurate, especially if you're conducting it yourself without the benefit of specialized lab equipment. A rough estimate may be the best you're able to get. It's difficult even for most researchers to interpret the effects and lifespan of THC in the body. Be aware that marijuana can only be obtained legally in places where medicinal or recreational use is allowed. THC in particular is often classified as a controlled substance, which means being caught with it without a permit can get you into serious trouble. Having an understanding of the law will help you stay safe and...

Blood tests are run either if no specific reason for the vomiting is found on a physical exam, or to back up suspicions raised on the physical. The panel of blood usually looks at biochemistry and hematology. Biochemistry gives a measure of organ function, such as whether the kidneys are working well. Hematology gives information about the blood cells, such as whether the cat has a raised white cell count (fighting an infection) in which case antibiotic therapy is indicated, or is anemic (the result of some infections and cancer) which should prompt a search for the cause of the anemia. If there is still no explanation for the vomiting then radiography of the abdomen is appropriate. A plain x-ray is taken without the cat being given any contrast agent such as barium.  The information gained on plain x-ray is limited because the soft tissue structures of the abdomen are all a similar radiodensity which means the thickness of the stomach wall, or presence of ulcers, is almost impossible to see. However, x-rays are useful when looking for a foreign body (something the cat has swallowed that she shouldn't have) that is causing a blockage. If an obstruction is found then the decision needs to be made about whether it needs surgical removal, or if there is a chance it will pass through of its own accord. Radiographies also can help look for tumors, and check the size of organs. Ultrasound uses high-frequency waves to produce a grey-scale image of the objects in its path. Ultrasound is particularly useful for vomiting issues because the ultrasound can look into your cat’s stomach for growth and foreign bodies. The pattern of the contractions and movement of fluid within the bowel can also give clues about any blockages that may be causing your cat trouble. With ultrasounds your vet can measure the thickness of the stomach and bowel wall, and look for craters that could indicate an ulcer. Ulcers are usually treatable with oral medications that protect the stomach lining and decrease acid production.  It is also...

Blood will often make your urine appear to be red, pink or brown (similar in shade to Coca-Cola). After you pee, step back and inspect the color of the urine before you flush the toilet to look for abnormal colors in it.  Your urine should be clear or a very light yellow in shade. It should resemble the color of lemon juice from one squeezed lemon. If your urine is a dark yellow, it might indicate that you are dehydrated. Increase your water intake to 8 to 10 glasses of water a day in order to have healthier urine.  Dark or orange urine can also be a sign of a problem with your liver, especially if you have light colored stools or yellowing skin. Consult your doctor immediately if this describes your symptoms.  If you've recently eaten beets, your urine may appear pink. Don't let this alarm you as it is not an indication of a medical issue. Blood in the urine can often be a symptom of a problem in your bladder, urinary tract, or kidneys.  Have you had any pain or irritation when you have used the bathroom recently? Have you had trouble controlling when you urinate or do you experience a burning sensation when you pee? If so, this might be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). Have you had any pain in your kidneys? You will generally have felt this in your back. Your kidneys are located under your ribs and on either side of your spine (not on the small of your back or above the buttocks, as commonly perceived). If you have any pain on your back, you might have an inflammation or irritation in the kidneys.  Are you a long distance runner? Blood in the urine has been connected to vigorous exercise, especially marathon runners. In this case, blood in the urine is most likely harmless, but you should still consult your doctor.

While blood in the urine in this case is generally harmless, you should still consult your doctor if your symptoms persist after you finish menstruating. If you detect blood in your urine,...

Blow drying, straightening, and curling your hair too often can cause it to become brittle and dry. Using too high of a temperature can also cause damage. If it is not too cold outside, consider letting your hair dry naturally. If you must heat style your hair, use a heat protection spray first.  Consider using ionic hairdryers. They infuse your hair with negatively-charged ions, which help seal moisture into your hair.  Use a lower heat setting or temperature on your hairdryer, straightener, or curling iron. It will take longer to get the style you want, but it will be kinder to your hair. Don't blow dry, straighten, or curl your hair every day. Even with a heat protection spray, too much heat can be damaging. Experiment with different hairstyles, such as natural curls, braids, ponytails, etc. Choose shampoo and conditioner intended for your hair type. In most cases, this will be dry or curly hair; if you have fine, dry hair, however, use shampoo and conditioner meant for fine hair. Look for products that contain aloe vera or apricot kernel oil for extra moisture and hydration.  Avoid washing your hair with hot water. Hot water can strip your hair (and skin) of its natural oils and moisture, leaving it feeling dry and dull. Silicones may help make your hair look shiny and smooth, but they can only be removed with sulfates. If you don't remove them properly, they will lead to build-up, which can cause your hair to look limp and dull. Sulfates are harsh, cleaning agents found in many household cleaners. They are great at removing silicones, but they also leave hair feeling brittle and dry. It may sound gross, but washing your hair only twice or thrice a week is actually better for your hair. The more often you wash your hair, the drier it will become. If you must wash your hair every day, consider co-washing where you wash your hair using just conditioner. You wash your hair with shampoo only 2 or 3 times a week.  Take care of how you wash your hair. Use shampoo mostly on your scalp, and conditioner mostly on...

Blue eyeshadow can add some extra shimmer and dimension to a blue lip look, which can be a nice touch. If you want to add some shimmer to your blue lip look, then choose a light blue eyeshadow that has some shimmer to it. Use your fingertip to dab some of the eyeshadow onto the center of your lips.  Apply a layer of clear lip balm over the eyeshadow to keep it in place. Don’t apply blue eyeshadow if you are going for a matte look. Wearing too much eye makeup with blue lipstick can look too dramatic. Unless dramatic is what you are going for, keep your eye makeup simple with a thin line of black liner on your top lash or a swipe of some shimmery gold or silver eyeshadow. Then, finish your eye makeup with a couple of coats of mascara.  You can experiment with bold eye makeup looks while wearing blue lipstick, but keep in mind that the blue lipstick is already quite bold. You don’t need to do too much. For a modern look, don't wear any eye makeup at all. Too much foundation can also be detrimental for a blue lip look. It may cause you to look overdone since the blue lipstick is already so bold. Try wearing a light layer of your usual foundation or use a light coverage foundation, such as a BB cream or tinted moisturizer. If you wear powder foundation, then just sweep on a light layer. Don’t apply multiple layers. Wearing such a dark color may cause your skin tone to appear lighter than usual. To avoid looking washed out or pale, contour your face with some bronzer and highlight in a few areas as well, such as on your cheekbones and forehead. Skip on the blush while you are wearing blue lipstick. It’s best to avoid adding too much color to your face because it will compete with the blue lipstick.

Blueberries grow on the side-shoots, off of the main branches of the bushes. Blueberries only grow on branches that are at least one year old. Branches over four years may have a smaller crop.  You must prune the bushes so that they provide enough new growth for blueberry production next year. If blueberry bushes are not pruned back every year, they can overproduce in one year. That can lead to the bushes only producing fruit every other year.  You also prune to keep the bush under control, as you don't want it to be too tall. If it's too tall, it will be difficult to harvest the blueberries.Additionally, you need to thin out the middle so that it can get proper airflow, discouraging disease.  Pruning also opens up the middle to sunlight, providing nutrients and ripening the fruit. For the first two years of life, you must train your blueberry bushes so that they grow properly.  Remove crossed branches. In the first two years, you need to cut any branches that cross each other. By doing so, you're allow the bush to focus its resources on canes growing straight up, which will be stronger and help you create a better-shaped bush. It will also keep the fruit off the ground.  Focus on creating the right shape of bush. In the second year, cut away any branches that didn't grow much in the last season. Leave the ones that have grown taller, though you may prune them back some in the next step. Following the first season, you can cut the longest canes back to 2/3rds of their length if the bush didn't grow much in the first year. This pruning will help it branch out. Any time you see a fat fruit bud in the first 2 years, as opposed to the flat buds of the leaves, you need to remove the bud. Cut away any of these buds you see with sharp shears. The bush needs to focus on growing, not producing fruit. Sometimes flowers might grow from fruit buds that you missed previously. Cut these away as well if you find them.

Body image, both positive and negative, is shaped by a number of different factors and experiences. Most immediately, comments you hear from people you know about their own, or other people’s bodies, will influence how you think of your own body. The ideas that we ourselves develop about physical appearance, and how we compare ourselves to others, also have a major impact. Other contributory factors include:  Exposure to images of idealised physiques, as opposed to more normal bodies. Any experiences of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. Experiences of prejudice or discrimination based on ability, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, gender identity. A range of sensory experiences, including pleasure, pain, and illness. The typical image of a “ripped” man, with 6-pack abs and highly muscular yet lean physique is reproduced everywhere from advertising to action figures. This image of masculinity does necessarily represent an achievable reality for everybody, no matter how much they work out. It is physiologically impossible to gain unlimited pounds of muscle mass while maintaining a lean physique.  Once you reach your optimal muscle mass, any further weight gain will be from fat as well as muscle.  Men who are bigger, with larger muscle mass, do tend to have higher body fat percentages too.  It may seem like attaining an idealised version of your body just takes hard work and commitment, but genetics are also a major influence. You can be fit, strong and healthy without looking like a fitness model or action figure. A negative body image is increasingly prevalent amongst men, and research suggests that body anxiety can have significantly harmful effects beyond self-esteem and image. In particular, research has shown that a negative body image can impact a man’s sexual well-being. In some cases it was considered a contributory factor to more aggressive and risky sexual behaviour.  A heightened concern about body image and being insufficiently muscular has also been found to put people at greater...

Body pillows come in many different shapes. The shape you want will depend on your personal preference and sleeping style. Many body pillows are shaped like a letter U, which can wrap around your body. The U-shaped pillow works by letting your head rest at the top of the curve of the U, which fits snug around you at the curve of the U upside down. The separate arms of the pillow wrap around you, with one arm going down your back and the other going down your front.  You can sleep on either side or on your back with the U-shaped pillow. This pillow has the added benefit of keeping you from tossing and turning in your sleep. These pillow are large, so you will need a queen or king sized bed to use them. Body pillows shaped like the letter I are very long and huggable. Since they support the knees, they help relieve pain in the back and spine. These pillows are smaller, so they are better for smaller beds. They are also cheaper than U-shaped pillows.  This pillow would be best for you if you need support between your knees as well as your head. These are also favored by those who sleep on their side, since they help realign the back and neck while in a side position. These can be thin or thick, so look for the ones that work best for your particular body shape and sleeping style. The J-shaped body pillow, sometimes called a C-shaped pillow, curve on one end to help support the neck, knees, and butt. They are considered a middle ground between the I-shaped and U-shaped pillows. They fit nicely between your knees, which is how it helps relieve back pain and strain.  These work well on all bed types, since they resemble the I-shaped pillow. All the types of body pillows can be thick or thin, depending on your personal preference. Body pillows come in many different materials and are stuffed with different things. When looking at pillows, organic and natural materials are the best. Since you spend so much time with your face against the material of your pillow, you want to make sure that get a good and comfortable...

Bohemians hold the creation of art above all other pursuits. Many bohemians would quit their day job and move into a tiny studio apartment filled with paints if that's what it took to stay true to their artistic selves. Express yourself in whatever artistic form speaks to you, whether that's drawing, dancing, songwriting, sewing, or something else creative. To truly be bohemian, try not to focus so much on the “things” in your life, such as your car or your laptop. Historically, bohemians hardly owned anything privately or permanently at all, even homes. Prioritize your experiences, art, and relationships above your physical possessions. Bohemians typically don't see the need to have or follow strict rules, and they don't believe in something just because others do. Ask yourself why you believe what you believe. Educate yourself on different political stances and religions in order to keep your mind open. Bohemians often refuse to conform to others' likes and expectations. Instead of spending your time doing what other people do out of habit or ease, really try to discover the things you love and invest in those things. Listen to the music, read the books, and wear the clothes that you like and enjoy. Bohemians don't get caught up in the future or the past. Do your best to be present in each moment, live without regrets, and make the most of each day.  If something goes wrong or you find yourself worried, don't stress or panic. Try to gain some perspective and calmly try to solve the problem. Take time for yourself. Pick flowers, keep a journal, go for walks, or garden.

Boil 2 cups of water either on the stove or in the microwave. This may take about five to ten minutes if you’re boiling the water on the stove, or about three to four minutes in the microwave. If you boil your water in the microwave, you may need to hold the water in a medium sized bowl rather than a coffee mug. Add two bags of chamomile tea to the boiled water. Let the teabags sit in the water for approximately 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, remove the tea bags from the water and allow the water to cool. You may have to wait approximately 20 minutes for the tea to cool down enough. The tea should cool down to be on the cooler side rather than the warmer side. For example, the tea should be cool enough where you could easily stick your finger in the tea, and not burn or hurt yourself. Consider transferring the tea to a spray bottle so you can easily spray and coat your hair with the tea. Separate your hair into sections, and evenly distribute the tea onto your hair. Once your hair is completely covered, let it sit on your hair for approximately 15-20 minutes. You could also dip your hair into the bowl of tea, but this does not coat your hair as evenly as a spray bottle. After sitting on your hair for 15-20 minutes, rinse the tea out of your hair with lukewarm water. Consider spraying your hair with tea multiple times before you wash your hair with shampoo to see a significant difference in your hair shade.

Boiling a wooden, clay, or plastic bowl or chillum could result in deformation or discoloration. Be sure that your bowl is glass before proceeding with this method. If the resin or plant matter on your pipe gets stuck on the pot, it could be hard to remove. Choose a pot that you wouldn't mind losing, just to be safe. You don't want to risk breaking the pipe or bowl by dropping it into the boiling water and accidentally shattering it. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes. You don't want the water to get increasingly dirty or resinous. Be sure that the pipe or bowl is secure when you discard the old water. Allow to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat the discarding and refilling process as necessary, one or two more times.  Always handle the pipe itself with caution, especially after it has come from boiling water. Glass conducts heat very well, meaning that it's likely to be very hot. Be careful when you discard old water and refill the pot. To stay on the safe side, temporarily remove the pipe or bowl with tongs and then place it back in the pot when the water has been changed.

Boiling water only removes some types of hardness ("temporary hardness"), so it will not work for all homes. Try this once to see if it works for you:  Bring the water to a boil for a few minutes. Let it cool for a couple hours. White minerals should settle to the bottom of the pot. Siphon or scoop up the top of the water, leaving the minerals behind. Some models attach to a kitchen faucet, while others come in pitchers for you to store drinking water. The softened water often has a better taste, but the effect depends on the exact minerals in your water.  This "filter" does not actually remove most contaminants, unless the device has a secondary filter (such as carbon filter or reverse osmosis).  Most coffee fanatics dislike the taste of soft water coffee. Look for a faucet model with a switch-off valve, so you can keep your hard water brew.

Bok choy is perfectly fine and tender for eating raw, especially with the right pairings in a salad. If you're going to eat raw bok choy, buy them small and brightly colored. Young bok choy is tender and delicious. Most bok choy is fairly limp, compared to heftier lettuces and other greens, so that's not necessarily a sign of quality. Avoid any especially soft ones, with brownness or other discoloration. Each boy choy will be like a little head of lettuce. To start preparing raw for a salad, trim off the very bottom stem end. This should loosen all the individual leaves and let you examine, clean, and prepare them individually. Don't discard the tender inside leaves. Those are the best-tasting part of the bok choy. The outside and the greenest parts tend to be somewhat bitter, so make sure to save the inside most of all. Sometimes, a little dirt and other sediment can get stuck inside the boy choy, so it's a good idea to rinse them all individually. Place them in a colander and rinse them all together, or run each under the water if you want. You can also use a salad spinner to dry them. Depending on the kind of salad you want to make, you can chop the leaves roughly, leave them whole, or chop them very finely, depending on your taste.  Generally, the salad leaves are a bit better if you chop them somewhat finely, helping the dressing mask the bitterness of the greens. Use about 2-3 heads of medium bok choy for a good salad. Bok choy is generally not eaten as a salad by itself, but pairs excellently with other leafy green vegetables. Use a basic mixed-green package or salad mix that you enjoy to add some bok choy to, or pair with any of the following greens:  Bibb lettuce Butter lettuce Kale Swiss chard Baby spinach Mint leaves, cilantro, or other fresh herbs Bok choy salad goes well tossed with any sort of oil-based dressing that you like. If you want to mix one up yourself, try whisking together the following ingredients until smooth:  Lime juice Soy sauce Asian fish sauce Brown mustard Minced garlic or...

Boot cut jeans are the most flattering style of jeans and they look great on almost every body type. Boot cut jeans are fitted through the thigh, with a tighter knee and a slight flare at the bottom.  Boot cut jeans show off your curves, but also help balance out your thighs. Tuck a loose blouse into your boot cut jeans and add a belt to give the outfit some edge. If you have a smaller butt, opt for skinny jeans instead. They’ll make your behind look bigger, when compared to the size of your legs. But skinny jeans are not just for skinny people - anyone can wear skinny jeans, as long as they're styled correctly.  Look for skinny jeans with some stretch to give yourself a little more room to move and breathe. Wear skinny jeans with tops that stop just above the widest portion of your hips. Tuck your skinny jeans into knee-high boots, or wear them with ballet flats during warmer weather. Jeans fit differently depending on the fabric they’re made of and jeans made of stretch fabrics are consistently the most flattering looking and comfortably fitting.  Look for jean blends that include lycra, elastane, polyurethane, or spandex. The stretch of the jean will help condense your thighs and make your bottom look higher and tighter. Jeans come in a variety of different fits, but across the board, the most flattering rise is the mid-rise jean. Look for a jean that sits a few inches above your pelvic bone, but still underneath your belly button.  Low rise jeans put pressure on your stomach, which causes your fat to bunch up above your waistline. High-rise pairs draw more attention to your stomach. Look for a contour waistband to keep the jeans from creating a gap between your back and the waistband of your jeans.  A contour waistband is a waistband that is cut on the bias, thereby making it more flexible. Denim comes in many different colors and faded jeans come in and out of fashion. Choose a jean with a slight fade in the center of the leg; the fade will make your legs look longer and leaner.  Avoid jeans with fading...

Boric acid is a more effective insecticide, more soluble in water, and is equally unlikely to produce any lasting harm in humans. Both can be applied as a powder and have identical methods of killing the insect. Boric acid will appear as large white crystals in suspension. Boric acid can be bought as well, and is less hazardous than hydrochloric acid, which is required to convert borax into the far more effective insecticide, boric acid.  Hydrochloric acid is sold commonly as muriatic acid as a solution to acidify swimming pools.   Hydrochloric acid should be handled with extreme caution. Use gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection (in a well-ventilated area) and can cause significant harm. Have baking soda on hand to neutralize any strong-acid reaction that is unintended. Do not use water to treat strong acid burns. Treat any excess solution with baking soda to neutralize the strong acid. Do not pour the solution down the sink until you are sure it is neutralized. Use litmus paper to test the acidity of the excess solution. When the crystals are dry they are ready for storage.

Both acute and chronic renal failure are often accompanied by high urine output or no urine output. Chronic renal failure, specifically, is accompanied by urinary incontinence and/or recurrent urinary tract infections. Damage to the renal tubules results in polyuria, which means excess production of urine and usually occurs in the beginning stages of renal failure. Chronic kidney failure can also cause decreased amounts of urine, which usually occurs in more advanced forms of the condition. Other urinary changes may include:  Proteinuria: During renal failure protein and red blood cells leak in the urine. Protein in the urine causes foamy urine. Hematuria: Dark orange urine is the result of red blood cells in the urine. One of the first signs of acute renal failure is fatigue. This may be due to anemia, which is when you don’t have enough oxygen-carrying red blood cells in your body; less oxygen makes you feel tired and cold. The onset of anemia is attributed to the fact that kidneys produce the hormone erythropoietin (EPO), which triggers your bone marrow to make red blood cells. However, because the kidneys are damaged, they make less EPO, and hence fewer red blood cells are produced. Edema is the medical term for fluid buildup in your body, and it can occur in both acute and chronic renal failure. When your kidneys are no longer functioning as they should, fluid builds up in the cells and causes swelling. This happens mostly in the hands, feet, legs, and face. Dizziness, poor concentration, and mental apathy may be related to anemia, as not enough red blood cells are reaching your brain. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) causes fluid filled cysts to build up in the kidneys and sometimes the liver; these can be painful. The fluid in the cysts contains toxins that can injure the nerves in the lower extremities, resulting in neuropathy, the disfunction of one or more of the peripheral nerves. Neuropathy, in turn, causes pain in the lower back and legs. As your kidneys begin to fail, metabolic waste products...

Both animals will have better outcomes if they are fixed. Most vets recommend getting male dogs neutered within 6 months of age so they have a lower sex drive and testosterone levels. Neutering the dog can also reduce his risk of getting certain diseases and cancers. Spaying female dogs can also prevent certain types of cancer, as well as mammary tumors. It's best to get your dog spayed before her first heat, though you can still have the operation done once she's started going into heat. Keep in mind neutering the dog still does not prevent him from reacting to females in heat, he will just be more subdued. You should still keep a neutered male dog away from female dogs in heat as a precaution. The veterinary clinic will give pre-surgical instructions, and they usually recommend no food or water for at least 8 hours prior to surgery. The anesthesia can give the dog nausea so it is best that its stomach is empty leading up to the procedure. You can still give it water so it stays hydrated. Follow all of your vet's recommendations to ensure your pet has a smooth surgery and recovery. The surgery is done relatively quickly at the vet's office and should be painless for the dog as it will be under anesthesia. Your vet may ask you to drop the pup off in the morning and then return in the afternoon to pick it up. The vet may prescribe pain medication, if needed. You may notice your dog is nauseous after the surgery and has very little appetite for the first 1-2 days, which is normal. Make sure the dog rests and does not move or run too much for 1-3 days after surgery, as this can cause issues.  The male dog's scrotum may appear swollen for the first several days, but the swelling should go down once the stitches are removed. If the dog keeps licking the incision, you may need to get it an Elizabethan collar, which looks like a large cone, to prevent it from licking. If fluid or discharge comes out of the incision or if the dog appears to be in a lot of pain, bring it to the vet for a check up right away. You may...

Both average people and scientists agree that self-confidence is a desirable trait in a romantic partner.If this is something you struggle with, try reminding yourself of some things you have accomplished that you are particularly proud of. Good hygiene is essential for anyone who is interested in dating. Make sure you are brushing and flossing at least twice a day to keep your breath fresh and your teeth white. Wash your hair and get it cut regularly so it looks neat and put-together. Shower regularly and wear deodorant so you smell good. The most important part of dressing well is to wear clothes that fit and compliment your body. You don’t have to wear the latest trends or the most expensive brands to dress well. Clothes should sit close to your body but shouldn’t squeeze up against it or restrict your movement. Clothes that are too baggy will make it hard to tell what your body actually looks like, and will actually make you look smaller.  If you’re having trouble finding clothes of your own that fit, start with some basics and work your way up. A good pair of jeans and a white t-shirt can go a long way. It’s better to have a small wardrobe with a lot of pieces that work together than a large wardrobe with a bunch of specific outfits. Wearing nicer shoes can go a long way in improving your style as well. Don’t wear the same old beaters you use to mow the yard. Sneakers are fine, just make sure they are relatively clean and don’t smell bad. Try some leather boots if you don’t have any already. They are a classic look and can work with almost any pants.. Muscularity is one of those things that almost everyone finds attractive.  You don’t have to be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger, but it’s a good idea to start hitting the gym if you don’t already. Make a schedule and commit to it to ensure that you see results. Within a few weeks, you will start to feel and see signs that your body is getting stronger. If you’re overweight and want to slim down, you’ll also have to change your dietary habits. There are a lot...

Both green and black olives may be cured in brine, a mixture of salt and water that preserves the olives and gives them a salty taste. This method takes longer than water brining, but it's the best method to use for ripe olives. Manzanillo, mission, and kalamata olives are commonly cured in brine.  Inspect the olives to make sure that they are as unbruised as possible. Look for holes left by insects or birds. If the olives were treated with chemicals, rinse them off before you begin the brining process. You may want to sort the olives by size. A batch of olives will cure more evenly if all the olives are a similar size. In order for the brine to be able to reach the insides of the olives, you'll need to slit the olives to let the moisture in. Make a vertical cut down the olive using a sharp knife; make sure not to cut the pit. They need to be stored in containers that can be sealed against the air, and glass is best for this purpose. Pack the olives into jars, leaving an inch of space at the top. Mix 3/4 cup of pickling salt with a gallon of cold water. Pour the brine into the jars so that it completely covers the olives. Seal the jars and store them in a cool, dark place, such as the pantry or cellar. During this time the olives will begin to brine. Leave the jars undisturbed to allow the salt and water to seep into the olives. After one week, drain the olives and discard the medium brine, which will be full of bitter flavor. Keep the olives in the same glass containers. Mix 1 1/2 cups of pickling salt with one gallon of water. Pour the strong brine over the olives to completely cover them. Seal the containers. Keep them in a cool place out of sunlight. At the end of two months, taste an olive to determine whether the bitterness level suits your taste. If not, change the brine again and store the olives for another month or two. This process can be repeated until you're happy with the way the olives taste.

Both of these can increase bleeding and swelling during the application. To achieve the best results, your skin should be as insensitive to the procedure as possible. The more bleeding and oozing that occurs, the less pigment actually stays in the skin. Excess bleeding and swelling can also make the technician’s job much more difficult. If you have a celebrity “brow goal,” bring a picture (or five). It’s particularly helpful if these celebrities have a similar hair color and facial structure to you. You may not be able to articulate exactly what you’re looking for, but these pictures can help your technician understand the style of eyebrow you like. Remember that the perfect brow for you is one that's designed to best flatter your features. Before your technician even applies the numbing cream, they’ll work with you to sketch out the eyebrow shape. Take your time to make sure they create the exact shape you like. Observe the inner corners, the tail, the width, the arch, and so on. If you dislike anything, tell them. Don’t worry about taking your sweet time ¬¬– you want these to be perfect, and you’re paying for it. This step is the most important of the entire procedure, so it’s important to be explicit and firm with what you want. After you’ve gotten your microblading, make sure to check it out in a mirror and decide if there is anything else you want done. Check for any gaps or any areas where you want a few more strokes. Make sure that you are happy with the shape when you leave the salon.
