Article in English: Girly girls never go out in dirty, wrinkled clothes. Keep your clothes washed and don’t wear anything with stains, even if it’s been washed. Iron your clothes before you wear them.  Be careful to read the instructions on your clothing labels. Some clothes can’t be ironed or can only be ironed on a low setting. If you don’t want to iron, try hanging clothes up immediately after you dry them, or letting them run in a dryer on the permanent press cycle. If something has a stain that won’t come out, don’t throw it away! Save it for wearing around the house or while doing work that might damage your regular clothes. Don’t buy clothes that are too tight or too baggy. None of your clothes should be so tight that they pinch you, show your underwear, or are hard to put on and take off. They also shouldn’t hang loosely off you or need to be adjusted as you go about your day. Try on your favorite clothes to make sure they fit you properly, and if they don’t, stop wearing them. You don’t have to wear pink party dresses every day to be a girly girl, but it helps to wear something feminine every time you go out. Dresses and skirts are always an easy choice, but you can also wear tailored pants, capris, shorts, and jumpsuits. Instead of wearing T-shirts, try wearing blouses and button-up shirts.  Pinks, purples, and pastels are considered classic girly colors, but if you don’t like them, any color can be feminine if it’s got the right style and fits you well. You don’t have to follow trends or wear what everyone else is wearing, as long as you’re dressed neatly and femininely. Avoid wearing sneakers and flip-flops if you want to look girly. Heels and wedges are a great way to look feminine, but if you don’t want to wear heels, try a pair of ballet flats. Be sure your shoes are clean and don’t have any tears or scuffs! If you want to wear heels but don’t know how to walk in them, try stepping with your heel down first, then your toe. Practice lots before you go out in public! Girly girls need to carry lots of things with...

Article in English: Give out your newspaper for free by placing it on people’s front doorsteps. This can be an expensive option, however, since you may want to wrap up the newspaper in a plastic bag so it doesn’t get wet. You will also need to print a lot of copies of the newspaper so you can reach a lot of homes. Many local businesses and stores are willing to put a pile of newspapers or flyers near their front doors or cash registers. Then interested customers can take these newspapers home. Check with stores, doctor and dentist offices, restaurants, and cafes, and other places with a reception area to see if they will make your newspapers available for customers. Keep track of how fast your newspapers are being picked up. You may find that some areas or stores go through newspapers more quickly and need to be restocked, while other locations don’t go through their papers at all. You may already have an existing readership for your newspaper, especially if you are starting the newspaper for a membership-based organization. Mail the newspaper to these members. Check with the post office to determine bulk postage and rates for periodicals. Online newspapers can take different forms. You might post news in a blog format, or you might have mocked up a newspaper-looking format that can then be read as a sort of online publication. Readers can either read the blog format or download the other format as a PDF or other document. Especially for online publication, you should publicize your newspaper on social media so that people know you have published a new issue. Talk with another newspaper to see if you can insert your paper within one of their issues. This will likely cost you quite a bit of money since the insertion process costs money.

Article in English: Give the paint adequate time to dry before attempting to heat press it. The exact amount of time will vary by manufacturer, but you should usually let the paint dry for at least 30 minutes. When you touch the surface of the shirt, you should not pull away any paint and your fingers should not feel tacky. Place the t-shirt on a hard, flat surface and cover the design with a sheet of parchment paper or brown craft paper.  Never apply heat directly to the design since doing so can actually cause the paint to peel away or stick to the iron. If you don't have parchment paper, turn the t-shirt over and iron the reverse side. Make sure that the material is flat and smooth before continuing to the next step. Allow a standard iron to preheat to the "cotton" setting, then carefully press the entire design with the hot iron for approximately two minutes.  Heat-treating the airbrushed design should set the paint and prevent it from washing out. Note that the iron must reach a temperature of at least 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Other options for heat setting the design include:  Using a professional conveyor set to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius) for 20 minutes. Using a heat press set to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 30 seconds. Rotating a heat gun over the surface for 30 seconds. Once the t-shirt cools, you should be able to wash the shirt in cold water using mild detergent. Tumble dry the shirt on low or allow the material to air dry. After washing and drying the t-shirt once, the process is complete and the garment is ready to wear.

Article in English: Give your room a psychedelic feel or simply add  some colour. Purchase these lights online or at a vintage store. You may also be able to find them at a thrift store. Add two or more to create symmetry or patterns. Whether you frame them or just pin them up, old maps can create a certain atmosphere for your room. You may also use them as a pin board for places that you have traveled. Purchase them online, your local map store or find them at a thrift store.

Find a display case or jewelry frame that complements your room’s decor to display your jewelry. You may also simply display them in a pattern on the top of your drawer. You may have a lot of mobile devices along with your lamp, TV, and computer. All the cords may be a nuisance and an eye sore. Purchase a cool place for your charges when they need to be out. Shop online or your local electronics store for displays that keep the cords out of the way while blending in with the rest of your decor. If you have a messy cosmetic bag or just a lot of makeup, simply stick magnets on the ones you use every day. Store them on a magnetic board by your mirror so that they remain tidy and convenient.

Article in English: Give your turtle a quick inspection every 1 or 2 days, such as when you feed it. Make sure your turtle's skin and shell are smooth and free of any marks, blisters, or blemishes. Check its eyes, nose, and beak for discharges or discoloration, and notice any unusual changes in behavior.  Turtles are generally healthy, but they are prone to infections, malnutrition, and eye problems. If you spot concerning signs, such as a soft, leathery shell, cloudy eyes, or skin blisters, bring it to an exotic pet vet who's experienced with treating turtles. Search online for an experienced local vet, or ask the breeder or pet store for referral. To keep the water as clean as possible, scoop out droppings, leftover food, and other debris daily. Be sure to wash your hands after touching the inside of the tank or handling your turtle. Turtles carry salmonella, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea. the water's pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels every few days. Get an aquarium water test kit at the pet supply store or online. Make sure the pH is between 6.0 and 8.0, or roughly pH neutral. Ammonia levels should be 0, nitrite levels should be less than 0.5 ppm (parts per million), and nitrate levels should be less than 40 ppm. Your turtle will drink the water, so it's important to test it and keep it clean. If the pH is off, amend the water with a store-bought agent, which you can find at the pet supply store. If ammonia, nitrate, or nitrate levels are high, change the water and consider upgrading your filter. Using a bucket or siphon, drain and discard about 1/4 of the tank's water. Then replace it with an equal amount of new water. The water contains beneficial bacteria; whenever possible, avoid changing it entirely. Transfer your turtle to the backup tank so you can clean the main enclosure. Save 1/4 to 1/2 of the water, and discard the rest along with the old peat moss or soil. Then scrub the rocks, hide box, and inside of the tank with a solution of 1 part bleach to 10 parts warm water.  Rinse the tank and accessories...

Article in English: Give yourself some time and space to get away from the expectations, the conversations, the noise, the media, and the pressure. Take some time each day to go for a long walk and think. Plant yourself on a park bench and look. Take a long, thoughtful road trip. Whatever you do, move away from anything that distracts you from contemplating your life and where you want it to go. In solitude, you should feel independent and self-sufficient, not lonely, needy or afraid.  Every person needs time alone, whether they're extroverted or introverted, single or in a relationship, young or old. Solitude is time for rejuvenation and self-talk, for utter peace and for realizing that purposeful "loneliness" is not a bad place to be but rather, a liberating part of your overall existence.   If you are a creative person, you may find that alone-time will help stoke your creativity. While it's nice to collaborate with other people sometimes, it's hard to be truly creative when you're always surrounded by other people. Step back and tap into your creativity. When you believe in something or see beauty in something, you should do it no matter what anyone else thinks. If you have found something that is worthy of your best efforts, sacrifice, and tears, then you have found the most important pursuit of your life. Often, that pursuit can lead you to something ultimately fulfilling. The key here is to realize that it doesn't matter what it is. It could be preventing child hunger or it could be painting. There is no scale when it comes to passion. You either feel it or you don't; none is better than any other. When you find something that zaps you out of bed in the morning, cling onto it. You'll only bloom from there. Though ultimately soul-searching can only be done by you and it's only you that determines what you need, having a mentor will be an incredible resource when you hit those unavoidable bumps in the road. Seek out someone you trust who has a definite sense of self. How did they do it?  Let them know the process you're...

Article in English: Giving birth is a very natural process for a cat and something that she is built to experience alone. Therefore, you won't need to directly intervene unless there are signs that the pregnancy is going awry. Learn the stages of birthing so you can better be equipped to know what is natural.  The first stage of labor lasts about 36 hours, and will typically be shorter if the cat has previously had kittens. During this period your cat will visit her nesting spot regularly but also have intermittent contractions with signs of strain. Late in this stage, panting and scratching at the nesting area may increase. The second stage will last anywhere from five to thirty minutes for each kitten. There will be stronger contractions and each kitten will be pushed out by active straining of the mom, usually head first. The mom will break the bag and chew the cord herself for each kitten and will require no additional assistance. The third and final stage will find the mom passing a placenta membranes and mass for each kitten. The mother cat will eat the placentas so as to hide the evidence that she gave birth. The entire process should happen within four to six hours. If it lasts longer than this, you should call a vet for help. Although most deliveries happen without any problem, you'll want to know what to watch for and how to act in case of a worst case scenario.  If a kitten is only partly out and the mother seems to be tired and given up on pushing, you can gently help the kitten ease out but you must be very gentle. If the mother does not bite through the cord, you can help by tying off the cord using a clean sewing thread about 3 centimeters from the kitten's body. If a mother cat does not clean a kitten you can do so by using a clean kitchen towel and gently wiping the kitten. Make sure to clear its mouth and nose of any liquid that might restrict breathing. There are complications that can happen during a pregnancy that should only be handled by a vet. If you notice any of these situations, you should immediately...

Article in English: Giving your plant too little water will result in a scorched plant with crispy leaves. Too much water can lead to mold, fungus, and stinky rot. Understanding what each plant needs will help you give it the right amount of water.   Low Moisture: Many desert plants belong to this group. They don't like high-moisture environments, since they cause mold, fungi, and rot to grow on the plant. With these, provide low humidity and water only when the soil is almost dried out.  Moderate Moisture: Many plants enjoy moderate moisture and humidity. Wait for the soil to dry out a bit (like a half or quarter of the soil) and water thoroughly. Keep an eye out and provide humidity as needed.  High Moisture: Some houseplants are real water babies and love high humidity and soil moisture. These plants do better in a terrarium, vitrine, or indoor water display. A few even can live with their roots submerged in water. If your plant is subjected to high humidity and low temperature and light, it is likely to rot and grow fungus. That means you need to lower your watering levels if the temperature drops. English ivies, English primroses, begonias, and some ferns don't like crowded, damp conditions. Don't place these plants in crowded plant groups or they will get rot and mildew. For practice, use room temperature water that has sat out overnight. However, you can also use lukewarm faucet water if you need to water a plant immediately. If you're not certain of the chemicals in your water or if your plant is sensitive to chemicals, you can use filtered water or spring water. Watch how your plant reacts. Some plants hate fluoride, lime, or salts that are present in water sources. Even the exact same species in the exact same situation in different pots will need water at different times. Treat each plant as a individual. Also, plants higher up on shelves or in hanging pots need more water usually than their counterparts that are lower down. When dealing with plants that require high humidity, it's best to leave the plant alone and...

Article in English: Glass can chip or shatter if it comes into contact with the blades of your blender. If this happens, you'll have to throw out your mixture, otherwise you could ingest glass, which can be deadly. The non-stick coatings on pans, too, can chip off into your mixture. This coating can be unhealthy if ingested. The safest kind of mixing container for you to use with your immersion blender will be stainless steel. By lowering the motor of your immersion blender into your mixture, you could cause the motor to burn out, the electrical components to short out, or you could potentially electrocute yourself. Even with especially deep dishes, refrain from lowering the motor into or beneath your mixture. Always unplug your blender before cleaning it. Never immerse the motor of your blender in water when cleaning, but you can clean it with mild soap and a sponge or damp cloth. The blending shaft should be washed by hand in hot water and should also be cleaned with a mild soap. When cleaning the blending shaft, be extra careful around the blades. These are very sharp, and can cut you easily. Immersion blenders are simple enough for children to use, and may be confused for a toy. This can be very dangerous, so you should store your blender in safe locations that are difficult for children to access, like in a high cupboard.

Article in English: Glass painting requires a little more than just paint and brushes. You will also need to prepare your glass piece properly, so that the paint will stick. Some paints also need to be cured in an oven. Here is a list of what you will need to get a basic painting done:  Glass object to paint Cotton balls Rubbing alcohol Design printed on paper Masking tape Glass paints Paint brushes Plate or palette Oven (optional) You can paint things like jars, cups, or wine glasses. You can also paint a glass panel. The best place to get a glass panel is from a picture frame. When you are done painting, you can display the finished piece inside the frame. Make sure that the panel in the frame is glass, however; some frames come with an acrylic panel instead of glass. You can take the back out of a picture frame, or leave it in. If you decide to leave the back in, you might want to cover it with some white paper. Most glass paint is translucent, so it will show up best against a white background. Even if the glass looks clean, you will still want to wash it. Any oil, dirt, or dust may keep the paint from sticking to the surface. It needs to be printed on paper. If you are painting something like a cup or jar, the paper needs to be trimmed down so that it can fit inside. The best patterns to use are just outlines, like from a coloring book. If you plan on using this glass piece for eating or drinking out of, move the pattern to a place where food, drink, or mouths won't be touching it. Even if a glass paint is labeled as "non-toxic," it may not be food-safe.  If you are painting on a flat sheet of glass, place the pattern face down on the glass. Tape the edges down with masking tape, and flip the glass over. If you are painting on a cup, place the pattern inside the cup. Move it around until it is where you want it to be. Press the paper against the wall of the cup, and tape it in place. Keep borders in mind. If you are going to put the glass panel inside a frame, make sure that the frame won't be covering your design. Soak a...

Article in English: Glue the bottle caps together with a hot glue gun into a design of your choosing, like a flower or a star. Then, use a small nail and a hammer to punch two holes in each cap. A ball-point pen, if pressed hard enough into the plastic, can also be used to create holes in the caps. Secure the hooks of the earrings in the holes. Never leave a hot glue gun unattended, especially if you have children or pets. Cut the base of a 2-liter empty water bottle with a utility knife and fill it up to the top with sand, pebbles, or gemstones. Nestle a small votive candle in the middle of this container for your personalized candle holder. ake candy dishes or desk organizers. This works best with a 1-liter water bottle. All you have to do is cut off the bottom of the bottle with a utility knife so that the bottom is only an inch or two tall. Line the part you cut with felt so that you don’t accidentally cut yourself with the sharp plastic, and decorate away. Fill the dish with candy or with office supplies like push pins or rubber bands. This works best with a 1-liter water bottle. To turn your empty water bottles into food containers, simply take two bottles of different heights and cut them through the middle with a utility knife. Then, fill up the longer base with rice, beans, sugar, or any non-perishable food and cover it with the base of the other bottle. You can cut water bottles with scissors or a utility knife. Keep a steady grip on the bottle and rotate it slowly. Be careful not to injure yourself. This will work best with a larger bottle that has a handle, such as a gallon bottle. All you have to do is poke about 10-15 holes in the bottle cap, fill up the bottle with water, and tightly seal the cap. You can use a nail and a hammer to make the holes.

Article in English: Go back to school. This isn't for everyone––there are plenty of people who shake at the knees at the thought of more exams and incurring yet more debt. However, if this is the pathway to getting you to the next stage in your life, it can be a great option. Does it need to be a certificate, diploma, associate degree/degree or a postgraduate qualification? Or, can you do a series of simple certified courses? Maybe volunteering and practical work will get you to where you wish to be. Look wide and far before settling on your course of studying/relearning. Keep yourself occupied with something else while searching for a job and learn new skills in the process. If you discover you really enjoy it, find out what you need to do to switch into this area and what sorts of opportunities exist within the organization you're volunteering for. Feeling like tossing the whole job thing in and turning entrepreneur instead? This is risky, hard work but for the right person with the right attitude and determination, it may be an ideal solution to permanently remove yourself from the job cycle. Become the person who creates jobs rather than the one chasing them. To get to this stage, consider the following:  Deeply analyze your suitability to run your own business. Have you got what it takes? There are tests you can do and good books you can read on the topic. What sort of business do you want to do? Research heavily here––ask such questions as: is it something people want?, is the field free or crowded already?, is it viable?, where can you get funds from?, and so forth. Read relevant business books to get ideas and to increase your understanding. Talk to existing business people you know. Ask for their ideas and recommendations. They might even be able to give you a chance to volunteer and see what it's like. This is about as unstable an income stream as you can possibly wish upon yourself but it comes with great freedom if you get the balance right. What are you really good at? What niche can you provide in an expert and...

Article in English: Go directly to the source if you're comfortable, or ask his or her assistant to identify a time that would provide you with about an hour to discuss your proposal.  Suggest an on-site or a lunch meeting, depending upon the type of relationship you have with your boss. If you think your boss may be more receptive to your ideas in a casual environment, opt for a location off-site. Schedule your appointment during a time when your boss isn’t in the middle of a major project. It's important to present a healthy picture of a company doing well, one that values its employees and seeks ways to promote the well-being of employees, as well as focusing on better productivity outcomes. Compare other programs that benefit employees, so that you can liken the open browsing idea to other well-being initiatives in the firm that have all increased employee productivity. Then, relate the desire to open up internet surfing to continuing improving employee productivity. Where relevant, identify any specific area you know your boss watches every day that has direct links to internet usage and discuss how this is one example of improved productivity through internet usage. Transition from company success facts to your plan to improve overall productivity––online browsing.  Refer to your synopsis point-by-point, punctuating why employee online browsing could be beneficial. Don’t go through the entire proposal but instead refer to the synopsis, which provides an overview of your plan. Identify specific studies that demonstrated how employee online browsing boosts productivity. Point to important studies contained in the synopsis and compare and contrast how the study could be applied to your company.

Article in English: Go for a solid, striped, or graphic design with a loose fit that either hangs straight or tapers around your waistline. The loose crop top skims over your tummy while the shorts accentuate your waist for a casual but figure-flattering look. You can tailor the waistline of your shorts based on how much skin you want to show. A high-waisted pair with a loose, longer crop top could cover your whole torso, while a shorter top and lower-riding shorts could reveal a strip of skin. Long-sleeve crop top sweaters are a great choice for the chillier months of the year. This classic and figure-flattering pairing hardly needs any embellishment--except for a longer coat, if it’s really cold! Unbutton the sides of your overalls to expose some peek-a-boo skin on the sides of your torso, creating a look that’s retro, modest and fun. From the front, you won’t even be able to tell you’re wearing a crop top! Keep your look relaxed with casual shoes, like flat sandals or sneakers.

Article in English: Go into a kneeling position while keeping your back straight. Put the leg of your choice in front of you. Straighten the front leg as much as possible. Rest your back leg on its shin. Holding your breath as your stretch tightens your muscles, which makes it more difficult to perform the side splits. Breath deeply, but do not exaggerate your breathes. You want to make your breaths as natural as possible. Inhale when you are holding the stretch. Exhale when you lean into the stretch. If you lower yourself into the split too fast, then you can seriously injure yourself. Find a speed that works for you.. Always ease yourself slowly into the splits.  By going slowly, you avoid injuries. Not only will injuries prevent you from doing the stretch immediately, it can potentially prevent you from practicing for a long time. It’s more important to practice consistently than to attempt to do the splits fast Once you are warmed up and feel relaxed, start to lower yourself very carefully. Continue going down until you feel pain or discomfort. Once you feel any major discomfort, other than the minor pain that comes from stretching, stop.  As you lower yourself, keep your hands to your side so that you can support your body weight. If you feel pain after you are done with the side splits, then you forced yourself too hard into the stretch. Wait until the pain is completely gone before attempting the stretch again. Once your pelvis is on the floor, and your legs are at a 180-degree angle, you have achieved a side split. Do not bounce yourself into the side split as this could injure you. Once you have achieved the split, hold it for as long as you can. Start setting time limits. Try to hold it for 15 seconds, then 30 seconds. Try to work your way to a minute.  Remember to always do the splits comfortably. Do not hold the position if you feel any major discomfort.

Article in English: Go on dates with the person to determine who they are. When people become sexually intimate, endorphins are released in their brains which produces pleasure, and can create an emotional attachment. This could cloud your judgement on someone who isn’t objectively a good partner. Instead of being influenced by emotion, get to know the person you want to get romantic with.  When you go on dates with the person, talk to them and see if you feel happy around them. Consider what interests you share, how easily conversation flows, and how well you get along. A good indication of a person’s personality is the company that they keep. A person without good social supports like family or close friends may be more likely to experience a decline in physical and mental health.  Friends are not always an indication of exactly who the person is, but can give you insight into what the person likes in people, their moral code, and what they find acceptable in others. Friends can also influence people’s decision making, whether it’s being responsible or indulging in things. Some common red flags include being immature, irresponsible, unpredictable, or controlling. Not having a job or skipping school are two signs that you may not be able to rely on them for support. If you feel insecure about the relationship as a result of this, then spend some time evaluating the other person.  If the person is physically, emotionally, or verbally abusive, then leave the relationship immediately. If the person speaks about their exes obsessively, or in an aggressive way, this could be a sign that they aren't ready for a new relationship. Once you get more comfortable around a person’s friends, you can ask them questions about how that person was in previous relationships, or who they are according to their friend’s perspective.  If the person is good dating material, usually their friends will talk about the positive aspects of their personality. If their friends talk about problems, drama, fighting, or anger, you may want to steer clear of...

Hamsters are illegal in Hawaii, so if you live in Hawaii you might want to look into other pet options! There are five main types of hamsters: Syrian, Campbell’s, Winter White, Roborovski, and Chinese hamsters. Most hamsters are between 3 and 5 inches (7.6 and 12.7 cm) long, though Syrian hamsters are larger and grow to between 6 and 7 inches (15 and 18 cm) long. Roborovski and Chinese hamsters live longer and Campbells and Winter White hamsters are dwarf hamsters. With all of these options, make sure you find the type of hamster that’s right for you! Your parents will probably want to know how long hamsters live (2-3 years), whether or not they smell (they don’t!), what they eat (hamster food), and other practical things. Make a list of facts about hamsters, and have this information on hand so you can answer any questions your parents have. If you have another pet, your parents might be using that as an excuse to not get a hamster. Learn about hamster cohabitation, find a room to put your hamster in that your other pet can’t access, and prepare to play with your hamster when the other pet isn’t in the room. for a hamster. Research how much a hamster will cost. Depending on where you live, a hamster will cost between $5 and $20. A hamster cage ranges from $30 to $50. Additional hamster expenses, like shavings for their cage bottoms, hamster food, and hamster exercise balls, will cost anywhere between $25 and $50. One way to show your parents you’re really dedicated is to try to save up for all or part of the hamster expenses, so your parents don’t have to pay for the whole thing. Save your...

Article in English: Go see a movie, or try a new restaurant. Go to a coffee shop and read. Just because you're a loner doesn't mean you have to miss out on the outside world. You don't have to talk to anyone, just find something fun to do and do it. Being a loner doesn't mean you can lock yourself in your room for the rest of your life. At some point you'll have to go out in public. If you want to be left alone in public, put on a pair of headphones and put on your favorite song. If you have to ride the bus to get to school or work, carry a book with you. If you have headphones on, and you're reading a book, most people will leave you alone. You may not enjoy it all the time, but studies show that everyone benefits from some form of social interaction. You can still be true to yourself and interact with people. Be polite and respond to someone who interacts with you on a regular basis. If you frequent a coffee shop in your neighborhood, get to know the barista. You don't have to exchange information, just make good conversation. If you end up having to go to a social event, such as a friend's party, you'll want to leave before everyone else. There is nothing wrong with wanting to get home and get comfortable. Make arrangements to leave before everyone else, and be sure to let a few close friends know.  Make sure you have access to a bus schedule if you don't have a car. Don't make a habit of lying to your friends about why you're leaving. Be honest with them about how you feel in social gatherings. Let them know that being social wears you out and that you're headed home to unwind.

Article in English: Go see a movie, watch or play a sport, see a concert or play, or another activity your date would enjoy. Try for an activity that you don’t get to do together often, or that your date has been wanting to do for awhile.  Check event locations for special Valentine’s Day parties, activities, or discounts to take advantage of. Choose activities perfect for two to create an intimate date. Go ice skating, skiing, or another fun activity that takes advantage of the last of winter if the weather is still cold and snowy in your area. If the weather is warmer, go out and do something in nature that you and your date love to do together, like hiking, camping, or just walking around town. Or try something special like sailing or a hot air balloon ride. Have your date right at home, where you can have privacy, intimacy, and plenty of fun for free or very little money.  Try building a blanket fort like you did when you were a kid, playing board games or video games, watching movies or binging on a new TV series. Cuddle up and enjoy each other’s company! If you planned an outdoor date that got ruined by weather, just go with the flow and bring it indoors if you can. Try an indoor picnic, for example, by laying out a blanket on the floor with some treats in a basket. Go for an element of surprise for any activity you have planned, even if it’s simply an evening at home. Set something up before your sweetheart comes home, or present a gift or activity to them in a creative, unexpected way.  Try a sweet scavenger hunt or romantic treasure hunt by leaving notes or clues for your date to find around the house or all over town.  Leave a simple love letter, or a romantic note written with chocolates, candles, or flowers, for your date to find. Get out of town and stay in a hotel, bed and breakfast, or go camping somewhere you’ve both never been or where you and your date love going.  You don’t have to make a big, expensive trip to a faraway place. You can even have a “staycation” where you stay someplace new within your own city!...

Запланируйте особый вечер. Устройтесь поудобнее дома. Удивите своего партнера. Запланируйте путешествие в новое или любимое место.


Article in English: Go someplace where you are comfortable and won't be disturbed. Sudden interruptions are not usually welcome while fantasizing! Take deep, slow breaths and try to become aware of your body.  Close your eyes if it makes it easier for you to visualize. If you want, you can dim your lights and put on music to help you relax. Maybe this is something you've never thought about before. Try to think about times when you've felt excited. What were you doing? What about it excited you? Or, if you're having trouble, you can start with some common scenarios and let your mind wander.  Imagine different settings. Fantasize about being on a beach or in a cabin in front of a fire. Picture yourself in a posh hotel room or in an office or supermarket. There are no consequences in a fantasy, so you can imagine yourself anywhere.  Think about past experiences and expand on those. You can exaggerate them or make them more vivid, or replay them in your mind. Once you've figured out what makes you excited, you can picture yourself with that special someone. Let the scene run through your mind like a movie, except you are directing the action.  Try imagining a scenario in which you and this person are separated from everyone else. Maybe you are snowed in at a cabin, or you get locked in the copy room together at work. Fantasize about all the things you'd like to do with this person. Remember that you are in charge of this fantasy, and if you start to feel uncomfortable, you can change it or simply stop at any time. Feeling turned-on is not only about visual stimulation. While fantasizing about this person, think about his or her voice, how he or she might smell, how it would feel to touch him or her, or for him or her to touch you. Your fantasy may be richer if you imagine the sensory details of your surroundings as well. If you are imagining you are on the beach, how does the sand feel on your skin? Try to hear the waves crashing on the shore.

Summary in Russian:

Найдите тихое место, где вы сможете расслабиться. Выясните, что вас возбуждает. Включите в фантазии желаемого человека. Задействуйте все свои органы чувств.


Article in English: Go through any physical photos and pull out your favorites of you and your friend. If most of your photos are online or on a computer, look through photos there. You can save these photos to a CD or flash drive and then print them out later at a print shop. Not all your photos have to be dead serious. It's important to remember funny times as well, so lighten up and include some goofy photos in your book. Scrapbooks often use things like ticket stubs, brochures, old car keys, and other memorabilia. Find tokens you've saved that remind you of your friend. These can be glued into your scrapbook. Examples include:  Ticket stubs from movies or shows you've seen together A brochure or menu from your favorite restaurant A class list from school The best scrapbooks tell a story on every page through images, text, and mementos. To get a sense of how to organize your scrapbook, write down your favorite memories of your friend. From there, decide how you can recreate these memories with the items you have.  Maybe you knew your friend since kindergarten. You could tell the story of the first day of kindergarten. Maybe this a scrapbook about trips you've taken together. Maybe you can find a specific story from each trip to tell. You can find decorative backgrounds online, which you can print out at a print shop on glossy, high quality paper. You can also browse a local craft shop and see their selection of decorative paper. If you see any designs that you think your friend would like, buy them for your scrapbook.  For example, maybe your high school colors were blue and yellow. Use blue and yellow decorative backgrounds for pages commemorating your high school years. Maybe you're commemorating a trip. Use a map of the location you traveled as the background. There are many types of supplies you can buy in craft stores that can be used to spruce up a scrapbook. Take a shop to a local craft store and browse the selection. Think about buying some of the following:  Page flags Stickers Stencils Buttons Doilies Rubber stamps...

Article in English: Go through everything that you've pulled out of your closets and drawers and sort them into four piles: keep, give away, sell and trash. Assess the items by asking yourself a few questions: Have you used it in the past year? Would you buy the item again? Am I only keeping it because I don't want to waste money? Am I keeping it for sentimental value?  Items that should not be kept are broken items and outdated items that have been collecting dust. If you haven't used the item in many many years, it is time to dispose of it unless it is for sentimental value. Keep the items you use frequently. Get rid of stained, torn and dusty unused items.   Don't keep items simply because you think you might use it again even though you haven't used it in years. (Don't be a hoarder.) Unused sentimental items can be stored away for safe keeping. Old t-shirts, pictures, books and stuffed animals that are purely for sentimental value can be stored away in a large storage chest. Separate them from your frequently used items so that they don't take up space. These would be the items that didn't pass the test when you asked yourself the “decluttering questions, “ and you're unable to sell them for some reason. Examples of unsellable items might be outdated items, items with blemishes or heavily used items. Once you've separated the wanted items from the “giveaways,” place them in a pile away from the keep and trash pile. Give them to friends, family or charities such as the Goodwill. Electronics, furniture and appliances that you simply do not need or want can be sold online. Simply take a picture of the item, and create a short listing on the website. You can make some extra money on the side selling your unwanted decluttered items, but the website you're using matters. Some websites are better than others for selling your goods.  Craigslist is best for selling furniture, appliances and electronics to local buyers in your area.  Sell old cell phones, laptops or unused supplies to an international crowd on Ebay, which allows...

Article in English: Go to a hobby shop and buy a doll head, body, arms, and legs. Be sure everything is roughly matched size-wise. Some hobby shops may sell kits that take care of such considerations for you. You'll also need paint and thinner, a small paintbrush, and some doll clothes.  Doll heads range from pre-painted vinyl heads with synthetic hair to simple base elements that can be combined as you see fit. Be aware that if you buy a doll head, eyes, and a wig all separately, you'll need to do a bit more work to put the doll together. Wigs can be made from any type of fabric you like. Specialty yarns like alpaca, mohair, and bouclé make great-looking hair, but Raggedy Ann-style colored yarn is fine, too. Softer plastic doll parts can usually be pressed into pre-fitted holes on the body to make a doll with moving joints. Alternatively, use an appropriate type of glue (plastic cement or wood glue) to fix the doll's limbs in position, or to make a doll from simpler or harder parts. If you use glue, wipe away excess glue from around the joint when you're finished. If your doll's head doesn't come pre-painted, it's time to paint makeup (and eyes, if needed) onto it. Acrylic paint should work for most materials. Use a small brush when painting, and start with the base colors first (for instance, white, then color, then a black pupil for the eyes). Let each layer dry before starting the next, and let the doll dry for a few more hours once you're finished.  Consider adding blush to your doll's cheeks by using pink paint thinned with some paint thinner. If your doll's face is featureless, you may want to paint a nose onto it, in addition to the eyes and mouth. Use a U or sideways U shape to make one easily. If your doll requires a wig, now is the time to add it. You can make a simple and permanent wig by gluing pieces of yarn densely to the top of the doll's head with a strong adhesive, or you can make a switchable one by embroidering yarn into a piece of cloth cut to sit on the doll's head. Pre-made doll wigs are also available to...

Article in English: Go to a local gardening center, hardware store, or online to buy a chemical spray or powder. Look for a product that contains bendiocarb, carbaryl, cyfluthrin, or propoxur. Always read the manufacturer's instructions and warnings before using the product. Spray or scatter the pesticides along the perimeter of your house according to the package instructions. When the millipedes cross over the insecticide, the chemicals will get onto their feet and gradually kill them. Remember to wear gloves to prevent the insecticide from irritating your skin. Check the package to determine how often to reapply the insecticide.  If you used powder and live in a wet climate, you'll need to reapply it more frequently than if you used a liquid insecticide. If you know where the millipedes gather outside, you can mix an outdoor insecticide into the soil or debris there. For example, spread the insecticide into mulched flower beds. The chemicals will eventually get inside the millipedes and poison them. For a more natural way to treat the soil, mix a few handfuls of dry wood ash into the soil around your home. The wood ash will dry out the rest of the soil so millipedes won't want to lay their eggs. Purchase either of these powders from garden centers and sprinkle it into the soil where the millipedes are congregating. Both products will make microscopic cuts that dehydrate and kill the millipedes. The boric acid also acts as a stomach poison that will kill the millipedes. You can use either of these products in your home, such as in the cracks or damp spots, but you shouldn't use them if you have kids or pets. If you've removed the millipedes from your house, treated your yard, and still have a millipede problem, call a pest control professional. Although this will cost money, it's a good idea if you're also experiencing another pest outbreak, such as centipedes. To find a pest control professional, ask your neighbors for recommendations, read reviews online, and check local listings.

Article in English: Go to a natural grocers, pharmacy, or grocery store and look for witch hazel that contains at least 86% witch hazel extract. It shouldn't have an alcohol content above 14% or it may irritate or dry your skin. Use your favorite dried herb or combine several to infuse in the witch hazel. Select herbs that will work well together. Consider using:  Basil Calendula Chamomile Green sencha leaf tea Lavender flowers Lemon balm or peel Lemongrass Orange peel Peppermint Rose petals Rosemary Vanilla beans Decide how strong you want the infusion to be. For a mild infusion, place a few spoonfuls of dried herbs in the bottom of a mason jar. For a strong infusion, you could fill the jar almost to the top. Pour enough of the witch hazel over the herbs so they're covered by at least 2-inches (5-cm). The herbs need a little room to expand and swell as they infuse in the witch hazel. Screw the lid onto the jar and put it somewhere cool and dry. Keep the jar away from light. Store the jar in a place where the temperature will not change dramatically. Consider storing the jar in a cabinet or closet. Avoid storing it in a cabinet in the garage or attic, because the temperatures can shift too much. To ensure that the herbs swell and infuse the witch hazel, shake the jar at least once a day while the witch hazel infuses. Infuse the witch oil for at least 2 weeks before you use it. If the herbs swell so much that they're not covered by the witch hazel, pour more witch hazel into the jar. Set a clean mason jar in the sink and set a fine mesh strainer over it. Open the jar with the herb infused witch hazel and slowly pour it through the strainer into the new jar. Label the jar with the date you strained it and the herbs you used. Dip a cotton ball in the infused witch hazel and brush it over your face for a quick moisturizer. Or dab a little along your jawline as a simple aftershave. To use the infused witch hazel as a makeup remover, rub a little over your face. Rinse your face to completely remove the makeup and witch hazel. Store...
