Q: A primer is just a light makeup you apply to your eyelids before eye shadow. It can help keep your eye shadow in place, which is good for metallic eye shadows since they are more likely to come off. Plus, it can really make the color and shimmer pop. Apply the primer across the the top of your eyelid, going all the way up to your eyebrow. If you sweep across the top of your eyelid, you'll end up with glitter all across your face. Instead, gently press down on the eyelid with a padded brush, so you press the eye shadow into the skin, holding it in place. You can also use a flat brush to apply metallics. With your next color, press it along the eye line, moving from where you ended the lighter color to the outer corner of your eye. Press it into this line, keeping towards the eye, then move upward after you've finished adding color in this area. You may take your eye shadow above your crease at times, and that's fine. However, with metallics, it's best to stay down lower, at least with the main color. Covering the crease with a metallic just makes it stand out more.
A: Add a primer first. Press down rather than brushing. Work from the eye line outward. Don't take it above the crease.

Q: Take a break from what's bothering you by re-focusing your energy on positive, relaxing, and/or enjoyable activities. People who can refocus on positive activities instead of dwelling on unwanted thoughts or stress tend to be less depressed. Some relaxing ways you can take a break include: Taking a bath. Reading a book. Playing a game. Going to see a movie with a friend. Exercise is a healthy distraction for mind and body. It can be as simple as taking your dog for a walk, doing jumping jacks and stretching inside your home, or going for a run. Try taking an exercise class that will allow you to focus all of your attention on specific body movements. Some good classes for staying focused on your body are Zumba, spinning, and Tai Chi. Go outside to get out of your head. A change of scenery will leave you feeling more alert and energized. Getting outside, especially in a peaceful setting, will help to clear your mind from what's bothering you. If you can't get outside, or if the outdoors aren't very peaceful where you are, try imagining a safe, peaceful place you enjoy or would rather be. Engaging in something creative can be fun, calming, and distracting. Creating something will give you a confidence boost and a sense of accomplishment. Focus on trying to have fun with the process of whatever it is you choose, rather than the end result.

Reach out for help from friends, family, doctors, or mental health professionals when your stress about a person or situation becomes too much to handle on your own. Some examples of things you should not ignore include: Experiencing or remembering trauma, such as family violence, an accident, or sexual assault. Experiencing thoughts to harm yourself or others. Experiencing physical and emotional symptoms of depression or anxiety.
A: Take a break. Exercise. Get some fresh air. Do something creative. Reach out for help.

Q: Place a twist tie where you're holding the neck of the frilly top. This could also be a pipe cleaner, or anything that'll hold it together. And remember, you can always take it off after the bow is placed on. Alternatively, you can use clear packing tape on the neck, but this isn't removable. No gift basket is complete without a bow, and yours should go right around this neck in the wrap. Tie it around twice, forming a knot that won't slip. Make sure it's facing the front! If you'd like, you can now remove your twist tie, pipe cleaner, or whatever you used to cinch the wrap together. The bow has that job now and will keep everything in place. Oval baskets especially tend to lead to awkward angles. If you have little corners toward the bottom of your basket (anything circular may lead to this), just tape them down and under if at all possible. Tape should be on the bottom of your basket more than the sides. Then fluff and adjust as necessary. Your basket is sealed and ready. If it's shrink wrapped, it could even be ready for delivery via the post. Need to place a tag? Around the ribbon of the bow is your best bet. The neck of the wrap works well, too.
A: Twist your twist tie around the neck of the basket. Tie the bow around the neck of the basket. Tape down any awkward corners.

Q: There's no set time period for moving on from unrequited love. Everyone goes at a different pace. However, there are some signs that you're ready to move on from the person who wasn't interested in loving you. You start noticing what is going on with other people. A lot of times when you're in the grieving stage you tend to get a little self-absorbed. When you start taking an interest in what everyone else has been doing you'll find that you're well on your way into the healing process. You've stopped wondering if it's the other person every time you get a call (especially if it's from a number you don't recognize). You've stopped seeing your own story in songs and movies about unrequited love. In fact, you've started expanding your repertoire to include things that aren't about love, or the pain of love. You've stopped fantasizing about your unrequited love suddenly coming to the realization that s/he does, in fact, love you and always has. Even when you're ready to move on, you can sometimes hit a relapse if you're not careful. It's like taking the stitches out of a wound too early. It's healing up nicely, but it's not ready for strenuous exercise quite yet. Avoid doing things with the other person or letting him/her back into your life until you're sure that this won't cause you to get back on the swoon-train. If you do find yourself relapsing, don't sweat it too much! You've already put in a lot of work to get over them and that work will pay off. Setbacks happen and if you give up right away, it will be harder in the long run. Put yourself out there, meet new people, flirt, and remind yourself how great it feels to be a catch. Your confidence surely needs the boost and in the meantime, you'll meet interesting new people. In fact, every time someone is better in some way than the person you've been chasing better looking, funnier, smarter, more down to earth make note of it. It'll put things into perspective. You don't necessarily have to be on the look-out for a new relationship. Just enjoying the presence of new people can be a big pick-me-up. Be very careful with rebounding. While sometimes a rebound is just what the doctor ordered, it only works when you're emotionally ready for it, you're honest with yourself about the fact that it's a rebound, and you're honest with the other person about the fact that it's a rebound. Don't make this new person feel as miserably in love with you as you are with the person you're trying to get over. Getting over someone you're in love with isn't easy! Any steps you make towards getting over the other person should be celebrated. You should also remember that just because this person didn't return your love doesn't mean that no one will.
A:
Know when you're ready to move on. Avoid relapse. Get back in the game. Stay encouraged.
