Article: These will provide a reliable and fashionable base that you can build dozens of outfits on. Go for versatile staple pieces that you can dress up or down to fit different types of occasions. When choosing your staple pieces, avoid fads and focus on selecting items that flatter your body type and reflect your personal style. Staple pieces will vary according to lifestyle and personal style. A few great examples would be a sharp black blazer, a pair of skinny jeans that fit you perfectly, a well-made hoodie, a pair of neutral colored ballet flats, a solid toned sweater, dressy black trousers, patent leather dress shoes and a pair of black or brown boots. Everyone cycles through t-shirts, tank tops and other basic items every year, but try to also pepper your wardrobe with some quality items that are well-made and that will last you for several seasons. Since quality garments tend to be more expensive, get the most mileage out of them by selecting basic pieces that never go out of style. For example, instead of buying a new jacket every fall, spend a little extra cash on that black leather jacket you've been wanting. It will last you for years and always be fashionable. A cashmere cardigan or sweater, while on the pricy side, will always look sharp and the quality material will endure for years. Choosing outfits is much easier when almost everything you have can be mixed and matched. Go for items that are solid colors so that they are interchangeable. When you do buy patterned shirts, ties or dresses, make sure you have multiple ways you can wear them to get several different looks. For example, if you buy a floral printed dress, make sure to have a few different matching cardigans in a solid colors, a few pairs of different colored tights, and a colorful belt or two already in your wardrobe. Or, if you buy a colorful neck tie, make sure you you have a few different dress shirts and suits it will match. Not only can you get multiple looks from that one dress by changing up the accent pieces, but those accent pieces will also match other outfits in your wardrobe. Picking out an outfit is so much easier when you can find what you're looking for quickly and easily, so get organized. Group similar items together, and then color coordinate them. For instance, put all of your skirts or dress pants together in one section of you closet, and then arrange them by color. You may also find it helpful to create sections in your closet based on function. Group together all of your work clothes in one area, your casual t-shirts and jeans in another, workout clothing in another, and so on. If you have storage space, removing seasonal clothing from your closet when not in use can help you better organize things. For example, when summer comes, store your sweaters and coats out of the way. This will open up your closet and make it easier for you to pick out outfits.

Invest in staple pieces. Choose quality items over quantity. Buy pieces that can be easily mixed and matched. Organize and color coordinate your closet.
Article: You can purchase hanging pots and hooks from any home and garden store. Hanging plants are both attractive and cat-proof! You can find deterrent sprays in the pet store that won't harm your plant, but will discourage your cat from poking around it. A good example of a safe product is "Get Off," but always make sure to check the label before buying a deterrent product. Some of these sprays might actually hurt your plant. You can make your own deterrent spray at home, as well. Make a mixture of one part vinegar to three parts water, and spritz it onto the leaves of your plant. Cats hate the smell, and it doesn't hurt your plant! This is best done with "remote punishment." The idea is to make the cat associate approaching the plant with something bad, like getting sprayed in the face with water. However, you don't want the cat to associate the punishment with you. You want your cat to think the punishment came out of nowhere. Booby trap the plant by using putting a can of compressed air that's activated by a motion sensor near it. These pet-training aids can be purchased in pet stores or online. When your cat approaches plant, he'll get a blast of compressed air. This doesn't hurt him, but it'll make him think twice about approaching the plant again. For example, if you spray the cat with water or shout at him, your cat will associate the punishment with you. He may well stop eating the plant when you're around, but he'll probably keep doing what he wants when you're out of the room. Punishing the cat yourself actually makes him more devious. He also might grow a little frightened of you, which isn't the relationship you want with your pet. Put tin foil down around the plant, or a plastic carpet protector with the knobby side up. Your cat may not be willing to walk across an unpleasant surface to get to your plants. Collect and wash out empty cans whether for canned vegetables or soft drinks. Line them up along the edge of the table where you keep your plants, then add more rows on top to form a wall. When your cat jumps up and knocks them down, the noisy clamor will send him flying. He'll think twice about approaching your plants after enough scares. This might sound quirky, but products like Silent Roar contain lion feces. Though you won't be able to smell it, your cat will, and he'll get the message that a powerful stranger has already claimed the plant as part of his territory.

Article: The evening before you will need them, take the rolls out of the freezer and leave them on the counter to come to room temperature. If they are covered with foil, go ahead and loosen it to allow some air to circulate. If the rolls were frozen in a pan, it is fine to leave them that way, just make sure to give them ample time to warm prior to baking. If you've stored your rolls in the refrigerator, then you can shorten the thawing time quite a bit. Usually 10 minutes is sufficient to thaw rolls not encased in a container. You may need to go up to 30 minutes if the rolls are packaged. If the rolls are individually wrapped, then unwrap each of them before setting them out to thaw. It is best if the rolls are not touching. If the rolls are wrapped as part of a package, loosen the covering or remove it entirely to prepare for baking.

Leave them overnight on the counter. Thaw refrigerated rolls for 10 minutes. Loosen any coverings.
