Problem: Article: If the camera is angled so the underneath of your chin is visible, it will look like you have a double chinno matter how skinny you are. To prevent this in your photos, tint your head slightly down. The amount to tilt your chin varies from person to person, but this is usually less than 1in (2.5cm) of a difference. Instead of keeping your arms flat against your sides, lift your arm away from your bend them slightly. By moving your arm 12in (2.55.1cm) from your body, you add more space in between your torso, making you look longer and leaner. In addition, you can put your hand on your hip. This is a great way to get ample separation from your arms and torso. Oftentimes, your bicep will look wider and thicker if you hold it against your arm in photos. Much like leaving space between your arms, it is helpful to leave space on both sides of the smallest part of your waist. To do this, turn your hips slightly and pull the arm further away from the camera forward about 12in (2.55.1cm) so it does not overlap with your torso. This way, you look slim and stunning. If you stand at the camera head-on, you will appear bigger in the shot. Move 1 shoulder back about 34in (7.610.2cm) so you face the camera at an angle. This can make you look slim rather than bulky. If the photo captures much of the whites of your eyes, it will look strange and unnatural. To avoid this, look at something near the camera so your line of sight is directed toward the camera. You want to clearly see the iris, or colored part of the eye for an attractive shot. If you look at a the door across the room, for instance, your eyes will be over-rotated and look weird in the shot. You can either plan to use specific props in your photoshoot, or your photographer may have suggestions when you arrive on site. Using a prop is a nice way to add detail to your image without taking away from the main subject (you!). For example, you can pose with a flower for a portrait shot. If you're an athlete, you can pose a piece of sporting equipment. Before your photoshoot, it is helpful to try these tips in the mirror. Play with the poses until you find a look that makes you feel confident! The more comfortable you are with your pose, the more natural your pictures will turn out. Look for the difference if you don't tilt your chin or angle your shoulders, for instance.
Summary: Tint your chin down slightly to prevent a double-chin. Keep some space in between your arms and torso to show off your form. Turn your hips to slim your waist. Angle yourself away from the camera to show a slimmer profile. Point your eyes toward the camera so they aren't over-rotated. Pose with props to add some interest to your shots. Practice your poses in the mirror to perfect your look.

Problem: Article: Remove all items from the box and spread them out on a flat surface in front of you. Try to identify which parts serve which functions. The box should contain a(n): Outer body Lid Pressure valve Steam valve Condensation collector Inner pot Sealing ring Steamer rack or basket Many of your parts may already be located where they're supposed to be when you take them out of the packaging. However, you'll need to remove the plastic that the stainless steel inner pot is wrapped in and place it inside of the main outer body. Do not try to cook food inside of the outer body without the inner pot, as this may cause damage to your Instant Pot. Your Instant Pot will come with a long, black cord that allows you to connect it to a power source. One end should be made to fit into an electrical socket. Plug the other end into the bottom outside edge of the outer body. The condensation collector is a small plastic cup that catches any condensation that builds up inside of the pot when it slow cooks food. Clip the condensation collector onto the outside body of the pot. Pour 3 cups (710ml) of water into the inner pot. Place the lid onto the pot and turn it clockwise to lock it. Press the "Manual" button and then press the "+" or "-" buttons to set the cook time to 2 minutes. Once steam builds up inside the pot, the floating valve located on top of the lid will pop up. The screen will then display "2," and will continue cooking until the time is up. At this point, turn the pot off by pressing the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button. After turning the pot off, the pressure will need to be released. You can do this by approaching the pressure valve from the side, so that you don't burn your hand, and switching it to its venting position. You can also just let the Instant Pot release the pressure naturally, which may take up to 30 minutes. It's better to manually release the pressure for some recipes and naturally release the pressure for others. Allow the pressure to release naturally for foamy foods, food that's heavily liquid, and/or foods with high starch content, such as soups. Use the manual release option when you're cooking vegetables and/or delicate seafood.
Summary: Unpack and identify all of the parts. Place the inner pot inside of the outer body. Attach the power cord. Attach the condensation collector to the outer body. Perform a water test to learn about functionality. Release the pressure manually or let it release naturally.

Problem: Article: Your crush might linger if you daydream about what could be, but holding onto your fantasies will only lead to more pain. Accept the reality of the situation and your feelings of attraction equally. Gradually avoid thinking about what your relationship would be like if it could only work out. Don't dwell on the past or worry about the future. Instead, ground yourself in the present. Instead of building up a fantasy life, work on yourself. Set goals in your work or hobbies, spend time with loved ones, and work on self-improvement to love the life you have. Your friendship with this person can still be meaningful, even if you can't pursue a romantic relationship with them. Think about all the good times you've had with this person and the positive qualities they have. Have gratitude that this person is in your life and that you've had the opportunity to know them. You don't have to stop being friends, but spending time with just this person can cause you to dwell more on your feelings. You might need some time away from this person to work through your feelings. Tell your friend that you need space for a while. While you're spending time away from them, focus on other things, like trying a new hobby or meeting new people. Rebuilding a friendship can take weeks or months. You may not feel "over" your crush until you find someone new. Take as much time as you need to process your emotions. Let your friend know why you need space so that they don't feel hurt or confused. Let them know that it isn't their fault and that you still care about them. If you want to fall out of love with your crush, set boundaries for yourself and your friend to avoid sparking old flames. You might avoid extended physical contact with your friend, stop flirting with them, or steer away from intimate conversations for a while. Share the boundaries with your friend (if you're comfortable) so they know to avoid those situations. For example, you might tell your friend to hold off on the cuddling or hugging, even if they just mean it in a platonic way. On the flip side, you may have to hold yourself back from hugging or holding them. Let them know why you are doing this so they don't feel hurt or abandoned.
Summary:
Separate fantasy from what actually is. Appreciate your friendship for what you have. Spend some time apart for a while. Set boundaries.
