Q: Continue adding the potatoes, white beans and baby carrots, circling around the soup pot so that each vegetable has its own section. Occasionally, stir the soup near the bottom of the pan. You want to avoid mixing the top layer of featured vegetables, but you also want to keep the pureed vegetables from burning on the bottom of the pan.
A: Add the remaining broth. Add the reserved slice half of the fennel bulb to the top right corner of the soup (between 12:00 and 2:00). Add the artichoke hearts between 2:00 and 4:00. Simmer the vegetables for 10 to 15 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls, getting a little of each vegetable. Serve the soup with a slice of crusty bread that has been rubbed with olive oil and garlic.

Q: Although someone who behaves in selfish ways may be frustrating to be around, it is possible that selfish behavior may indicate that the person is dealing with deeper issues, such as depression or narcissistic personality disorder. Try to avoid judging or labeling your friend as selfish and self-centered. Instead, try to find out what is going on in your friend's life that may be causing him or her to behave in selfish ways. For example, you might say, "You seem wrapped up in the negative things that have been happening in your life. What's going on?" Encourage your friend to seek help if they're depressed or dealing with other serious issues. Advise your friend to talk to a school counselor or a therapist. What does your friend do that irritates you? Does she say negative things to you, constantly demand your attention, or talk only about herself without stopping? Get a good handle on exactly what it is that bothers you about your friend. Some friends ask for help but never give anything in return. In this case, they're taking more from the relationship than they're giving, leaving it one-sided. Others talk themselves all the time but never ask how you are. If you do talk, they seem uninterested. This is another example of a one-sided relationship. Another type of selfishness is attention seeking. They may constantly call you and try to get you to hang out. They don't respect your need for alone-time. The underlying problems of selfishness may give you a little something to go on when talking to the person. You may also be able to develop a little more empathy for your friend if you consider why he or she may be acting in selfish ways. Selfish or self-centered people may be insecure or have a negative self image. As such, they look for attention or try to get others to think about them. Consider their childhood. Maybe they expect attention because that's what they're used to. Maybe they're desperate for attention because they never got any growing up. Selfishness is a normal human behavior and we are all guilty of it sometimes. Think about times that you've been selfish to get some perspective. You may have been selfish unintentionally and hurt others' feelings. For example: Have you ever interrupted someone during a conversation? Have you ever gotten bored when someone else was talking and started thinking about a problem of your own? Did you ever insist someone to spend time with you, even though you knew that they weren't feeling well?
A: Keep in mind that selfishness can indicate other problems. Think about what's bothering you. Consider underlying problems. Think about times you've been selfish.

Q: . The first thing to do to look effortlessly stylish is to make sure that you're wearing clothes that you feel are good for your body type. Since effortless style is supposed to be subtle, you'll need well fitting clothes in order to get the elegant, expensive, stylish look from your clothing. You may want garments that make you look thinner and the perfect height, with everything in proportion. Effortless style is mainly based around classic looks. Dressing for current trends just shows that you put way too much thought into that outfit and that you've been following fashion news like a broker watching stocks. Choose classic styles in classic cuts for a more effortless look that looks good for years. This means women should beware of floor length casual dresses in favor of knee-length, for example, while men should shy away from skinny-legged suit trousers in favor of something more loose-fitting. What colors are popular and what colors are considered absolutely hideous is very dependent on time and place. Just look at your mom's clothes from the 1970s, for example. In order to look effortlessly stylish, you're going to want a more timeless look, which means sticking to more muted and neutral colors. This can, however, be broken up with bold accent colors, especially on accessories. Muted colors include tan, black, white, denim/navy blue, and gray. Good accent colors include most shades of red, many shades of blue, plum/eggplant purple, golden yellow (like rubber ducks or tulips), and emerald green. Be careful of certain colors. Be wary of other greens and yellows, and generally avoid oranges, as these colors are very prone to going in and out of fashion, but, if you think they are stylish, go for it. Busy prints and textures (like fuzzy/fluffy/feathered fabric) can quickly make an outfit look dated and unstylish, as these tend to be in fashion only for a season or a year at most. Next year it will be another pattern, so why bother? Look effortlessly stylish by keeping your clothes in style across decades, not months. To look really stylish, you want your clothes to look expensive. You can make cheap clothes look expensive but investing in some actually expensive items might be a good idea. A few choice pieces of hard-to-fake luxury items, such as a nice sweater or wool coat, can really take your wardrobe up a notch. Having a limited number of nicer items is preferable to having a large number of very cheap-looking items. If you really want to put the effortless into effortless style, you'll want a wardrobe where nearly all of the pieces match with each other. This will let you get dressed based on comfort, style preference, or weather conditions, instead of being limited by color or style combinations. Use a single clothing style (vintage, modern, etc.) and the use a single color palette (this should be helped if you followed our advice to use muted colors with limited bold accents). Looking stylish means your clothes are going to have to look well maintained. No stains, no holes, no loose threads, no wrinkles. If you want your clothes to look maintained, then the best way to do that is to maintain them! Keep your clothes clean, fold and store them correctly, and do other basic maintenance as the needs arise (e.g. sewing minor holes). What you probably don't realize about models and famous people is that part of the reason they look so stylish is because their clothes fit their body perfectly. How do you get clothes to fit perfectly? Get them tailored, of course! Find a reliable tailor in your area to alter your clothes so that they perfectly for your body. Even some department stores will do this for you. It's not as expensive as it sounds. Tailoring a shirt often costs as little as $10-20, pants around $30-40. It may seem like a silly added expense, but having clothes tailored once and keeping them maintained and will help you look amazing for the next ten years. It's a worthy investment.
