A sheepskin rug can be brought back to life with a non-alkaline, pH balanced cleanser, like baby shampoo or sheepskin wash. Fill a bathtub with warm water and 14 cup (59mL) mild cleanser. Lightly agitate the sheepskin in the water for 5 minutes and roll it up to squeeze out the water. Put it in your washing machine on the spin cycle to further remove excess water and lay it out to dry for the day. Lay the sheepskin out to dry away from direct sunlight. Use a metal brush to comb out the wool after it dries. To eliminate odors and freshen up fur and sheepskin rugs sans water, sprinkle unscented talcum powder or baking soda on your rug. Leave the powder on for a few hours, shake and brush out, and repeat as needed. If your rug is small enough to put in the washing machine and the care instructions do not advise against it, throw it in there. Adjust the washing machine cycle to gentle first, place the rug in a pillowcase or mesh bag and tumble dry on low. Don't put a rug with a rubber backing in the washing machine. If the rubber begins to degrade and flake off, it could clog up your washing machine. If you have a true, high-pile shag carpet, using a vacuum cleaner may be risky business. The rug fibers may get caught in the vacuum and become frayed. Turn your vacuum setting to high-pile or shake out dirt from a shag rug.

Fish feeding activity is, of course, directly tied to insect activity. Smaller fish eat the insects, and game fish eat the smaller fish. As such, a hatch of flies or mosquitos is sure to create excellent fishing conditions. Just make sure you wear plenty of insect repellent. The moon controls the tides, which play a big role in fishing conditions. It is fairly easy to keep track of the tides by simply observing, but it can pay off to pay closer attention to the movements of the moon. Full moons, and times when the moon is close to the earth, tend to make for especially good fishing. There are lots of free online lunar calendars designed to help you find peak fishing hours. Different types of fish prefer different water temperatures, times of day, and food. If you are fishing for a particular species, do your research. If you want to catch catfish, it won't matter when you go out if you never venture from shallow waters. It's all well and good to know when the fish will be out in force, but the truth is that most of us simply go fishing when we have the time for it. You can enjoy a lovely afternoon of fishing with some beers and a friend without ever catching a thing. Don't get so wrapped up in finding the right time that you forget to have a good time.

One-sentence summary -- Pay attention to bugs. Make the moon your friend. Know your fish. Go fishing when you have the time.

Adding a pair of heels is one of the fastest way to make denim look dressier. Stiletto heels work especially well, but kitten heels can also work. Go for black or another neutral for a classic look, while a bright shoe can add a bold touch. A low pair of heels can dress up a simple T-shirt and boot-cut jeans combination, while a pair of stilettos will bring elegance to relaxed straight-leg jeans. A nice pair of flats is a classic way to look pulled together. Choose ballet flats for a feminine look or boat shoes for a dash of vintage style. Embellishments such as bows or gems can add more flair to a pair of flats. Wear a crew-neck sweater with straight-leg jeans and a pair of boat shoes for a classically preppy look. If you have dark jeans and a dressy top in a neutral color, consider a bright shoe, like a red pump or a crocodile skin flat, to add a chic twist to your outfit. Show off your cool street style with a pair of brightly-colored suede shoes and a pair of ankle-length jeans with a tucked-in Oxford shirt. Leather boots have a naturally sophisticated look, and ankle-length boots have become especially popular in recent years. Ankle-length boots work well with nearly any cut, from the classic boot-cut to the more modern skinny leg. Wear a pair of ankle boots with a low heel under a pair of boot-cut jeans and a T-shirt topped with a scarf for the perfect fall look. Knee-high boots can also look trendy, and if paired with a dark jean and a nice blouse, they can make an outfit look city chic. Pair these boots with a snug skinny jean and zip the boot up over your jean. Wearing these boots beneath your jeans defeats the purpose of having a boot with such a tall height. Wear knee-high riding boots with skinny jeans and a long sweater for preppy winter style. Instead of getting too casual with your shoes on casual Fridays, keep your footwear professional. Stick with high quality leather loafers to add structure and professionalism to your jeans. An Oxford shirt paired with dark-wash, straight-leg jeans and a pair of leather loafers is the perfect blend between laid-back and dressy for an informal work meeting or a dinner with friends. These look like barrettes for your shoes, and they provide a quick, easy way of dressing up an otherwise simple pair of flats. Try wearing a plain black shirt and a pair of slim-leg jeans to really show off your sparkly shoe clips.
