Darker skin tends to take on an "ashy" look when not properly moisturized. To keep from taking on an unhealthy-looking gray cast, always apply a moisturizer to your face after your daily shower. If you have dry skin, you may want to use a liquid or cream foundation. For added hydration, you can mix a few drops of moisturizer into your foundation before you apply. Just be aware that this will lessen the coverage. You can also use a tinted moisturizer or bb cream for a dewy finish and translucent coverage. If you choose to make foundation a part of your beauty routine, it's important to find a product that's as close as possible to your natural skin tone. Never use a foundation lighter than your skin tone. This can make your skin look patchy and your makeup caked on. When shopping for foundation, swatch it against your forehead or jawline. It's common for people with darker skin tones to be a little lighter at the face, so using your hand may not give you an accurate match. Foundation shopping is often trickier for people with darker skin. Try researching which locally-available brands work best on darker skin to narrow down your choices. You can also go to a local beauty shop or the makeup counter at a department store and ask for help there. These businesses often employ skilled makeup artists who might be better able to find the perfect match. Many will also offer a free makeover with your potential new foundation to help you decide. You should make sure the foundation you're thinking about buying is perfect in all lights, not just under the ones in the store. Try shopping without foundation or concealer on your face when trying out new foundations. Go outside and use a hand mirror to make sure the product blends in perfectly in the sun. While tanning is the trend in Western cultures, skin "bleaching" treatments are incredibly popular in India, especially among women with darker skin. It's best to stick to natural methods of lightening your skin, as many pharmaceutical products can have dangerous side-effects. Examples of natural skin lighteners that some people find effective are lemon juice, turmeric, and dairy products. The best way to make your skin a little lighter is to avoid sun exposure and to apply sunscreen when you can't. Bleaching your skin is by no means necessary. Dark skin is beautiful in its natural state. Don't lighten your skin to conform to some beauty standard. Only do so if it's your own personal preference.

Summary: Keep your skin moisturized. Match your foundation to your skin tone perfectly. Consider skin lightening treatments if you want lighter skin.

Always use sharp hooks. Since large hooks right out of the package are often dull, bring a sharpening tool designed for large hooks. Carry jaw spreaders, needlenose pliers, a long-handled hook remover, and either a mini bolt cutter or side cutters. Bring a cradle, or if that's not possible, a large net. Try to use a net only if you plan to keep the fish. If you must use a net and you plan to release the fish, your net should have rubber-coated bags to reduce the fish's mucus loss. A deep net (about 52") with an opening between 34 and 44 inches should suffice. Make sure to net the muskie head-first. These essential tools will protect the fish as well as you as an angler, since you will be handling the business end of a toothy fish as well as very large hooks. Allowing the fish to remain in the water for unhooking and initial handling is essential to the well-being of trophy muskies and the maintenance of our fisheries. Grab the back of the hook with your pliers and lift it. Use a long-handled hook remover to retrieve hard-to-reach hooks. If a hook is embedded too deeply to remove it, use sidecutters or a mini bolt cutter to trim the points off the hook. Don't put your hand in the fish's mouth or gills to retrieve your hook. If the fish thrashes, its teeth or gill rakers could injure you. Hold a small muskie firmly across its back, right behind its gill covers. If the muskie is large, hold it by the tail and under the body while it's still in the water boatside, so another person can free the hooks. Do this inside of a cradle, if possible. Always wear gloves when handling muskies. The gloves should be protective fishing gloves that are puncture resistant. Leave the fish in the water within the net or cradle as long as possible, removing it only briefly to photograph or measure it. Despite their size and ferocity, these fish are not known to be hardy and do not tolerate extensive handling well. You can help preserve the quality of muskie fishing by practicing catch-and-release. Bring a camera with you to take a photo of your catch. Don't keep the fish unless you are going to have it mounted. Slide the muskie into a cradle to release it into the water, so that it doesn't injure itself. Revive the fish by rocking it gently back and forth before releasing it. Don't release the muskie until it remains upright by itself in other words, it shouldn't be lying on its side in the water.

Summary: Use the right tools. Unhook the fish. Hold the fish properly. Release the fish.

Use the board to make tiny notes and very rough, imperfect drawings of the parts of the car you're most interested in. This is your opportunity to brainstorm and let your creative juices flow with the least amount of constraint. For example, if you're most excited about a new way of designing a car's windshield, focus on that aspect of your car's design. You can worry about the other parts later. If possible, have other people join you during this brainstorming so you can talk out your ideas and get input from extra sets of eyes. The easiest way to do this is usually by drawing the rough shape and outline of the car from its driver side. Don't worry about making the car perfect; just do your best to create a rough but complete drawing of the actual body of the car. This is also the best opportunity for you to start figuring out how the different components of the car you're designing can realistically fit together. For instance, if you focused on the windshields earlier, now you can figure out how to actually fit the windshields onto the chassis. Once the rough sketch of the body of the car is complete, now's the time to focus on the more minute aspects of your car's design. Draw things like the design of the side mirror, the curvature of the side of the car, or any other details you overlooked in your rough sketch. You may find that some smaller details (e.g., the curvature of the car's side) don't fit with the rough sketch that you drew. That's ok! If this happens, go back and create a new rough sketch to work with. This process helps you to figure out what works and what doesn't with your design. Draw rough sketches for the top view of the car, the front view, the rear view, and some diagonal views as well. Then, add the smaller details to these sketches just like you did with your original sketch.
Summary: Do some basic planning of your concept on a whiteboard. Start by drawing a rough sketch of the car from 1 perspective. Fine-tune the smaller details of the car per your design ideas. Repeat this process for several different perspectives on the car.
