article: Clean up any areas where caulk has accidentally gotten on the shower surround before it dries. For acrylic caulks, use a damp rag to clean up mistakes. For silicone caulks, wipe down any excess caulk with a soft cloth rag soaked in mineral spirits. Peel the tape off slowly and do not let it touch any of the fresh caulk. If the tape left ridges of caulk behind along the edge, clean these up by smoothing the area out again with a damp rag or damp finger. Pull the tape off at a downward, outward angle. This will keep the removed tape away from the bead, minimizing the chance of messing it up. Look at the label on your caulk tube for curing times. In most cases, it's a good idea to wait at least 24 hours before running the water or using the shower. If you run the water over the caulk before it finishes curing, you might rinse some of it away or cause it to smear and run, creating a big mess and weakening its seal on the seam.

Use a natural-bristle angle brush to cut around baseboards and walls. Roll the room with a roller if you want to give it a stippled finish. Paint the rest of the room with a brush if you want a smoother look. Let your room air dry for at least 24 hours. Apply 2-3 additional coats to deepen the color of your floor as desired."
article: You cannot paint a hardwood floor with standard latex paint. Instead, purchase a latex enamel that is specifically designed to be used on hardwood floors, porches, or decks. Keep in mind that whatever color you choose will thin out and become lighter as people walk on the floor over time. Darker colors will show dirt and scuff more easily. They also make a room feel smaller by absorbing light. Lighter colors tend to make rooms look bigger and are easier to clean. White is a popular option for kitchens, since it's easier to clean. While it isn't mandatory, you can use painter's tape to cover quarter-round or baseboards to keep paint from dripping or splashing along any unwanted edges. To tape a section off, line up the side of the tape with the edge that you want to keep clean. Press the tape down so that it's perfectly on the edge and then pull the roll out 23 feet (0.610.91m) before lining it up with the same edge. Press the tape down and run your hand along it to ensure that it's fully adhered to the surface. Painter's tape won't be effective at stopping paint if you don't press it down along the entire surface. Painter's tape won't damage your wall like normal tape, so don't worry about the paint on the baseboard, wall, or quarter-round getting pulled off. A roller will not reach the trim in sections of a room near a wall or baseboard. For these hard-to-reach edges, use a natural-bristle angle brush to cut around the trim by dipping the tip of your brush in the enamel and running it carefully along the 23 inches (5.17.6cm) next to a wall. Cover every part of a room's trim before you continue. You can use a thin-napped roller to fill in the remainder of the room for a stippled finish. The more porous sections of wood will absorb paint from the roller at a greater rate than the firmer sections, which will leave your floor with a unique texture when you're done. To roll the rest of the room, cover your roller in enamel and work from the corner furthest from the door to roll each section of the floor. You can use a thick-napped roller instead if you want even more variety in your texture. If you want a more uniform finish, use a larger natural-bristle brush to paint the rest of your floor. Start with the section of your floor furthest from the door and paint in back-and-forth strokes. Work in the direction of your floorboards as you cover each section of the floor. Cover each part of your floor with 3-4 strokes before moving on to a different section to ensure that it's fully covered. After you've applied your first coat of paint, let it air dry for a full day before walking on it to apply additional coats. Avoid walking on it with thick boots or high heels even after it has dried for 24 hours to prevent damaging the first layer of paint. The more layers of paint that you add, the deeper and richer the color will be. Wait at least 24 hours after every painting session to ensure that the previous coat has time to dry. Wait 1 month after applying your last coat before adding any heavy furniture to the room to give it adequate time to breathe. You may not want to apply any additional layers if you're going for a more worn-down or textured look. The more layers you add, the more uniform your paint job will be.

Confirm that you're using monophasic pills and that you already have the next pack. Make sure that you can discern between the active pills (which suppress your period) and the placebo pills (which trigger a week of withdrawal bleeding). Use a calendar to chart out your birth control schedule for the weeks leading up to the period that you want to skip. Monophasic pills cause less spotting than multiphasic pills, making them better suited to skipping periods. However, you can still skip a period using multiphasic pills. Ask your gynecologist about which pills you can skip in order to miss your period. If you aren't already on a birth control program, speak to your gynecologist about starting. Only take birth control pills that you've been prescribed by a licensed physician. If you are taking monophasic pills, then you just need to take the same pill every day. If you are using multiphasic pills, then you'll need to be careful to keep to the schedule. If you aren't sure, ask your gynecologist for advice on how to proceed. If your birth control is packaged with a "period week" of placebo pills, feel free to discard the placebos. They are sugar pills, and you won't need them if you are going to skip your "period." Skip the placebo pills. Begin the next month's birth control packet immediately at the end of the regular three-week regimen. Make sure that you are ready with the new pills as the three-week mark approaches! Remember: if you're taking birth control, you are not actually getting your period on the fourth "placebo" week of the month. The bleeding that occurs is "withdrawal bleeding" as your body responds to stopping the hormones. Withdrawal bleeding does not pose a serious risk to your health and skipping withdrawal bleeding does not affect your health. It is safe to skip your period indefinitely using hormonal birth control. You may experience minimal spotting. However, this should not last more than a day. Monophasic pills are more stable than multiphasic pills, and thus less likely to trigger spotting. If you've been taking the pills for three or more weeks, you can pause to take a period whenever it's convenient. Simply stop taking your active birth control pills for four days. Then, start taking the active pills again. Consider taking up to a week's break from your contraceptive after any skipped withdrawal period. It's good to give your body a rest.
