Problem: Article: Cutting secondary stems will give you a fuller weigela plant. Locate 2-3 branches that are growing next to the main stem and use a hand-held pruning saw to cut the stems upward at a 45-degree angle. Saw the stems as close to the ground as you can. This will divert the plant's energy to the main stem and new growth, which will promote stronger blooms. Seed pods are left over after the flowers bloom and fall off the plant. They look like buds on the tips of the weigela branches. Use a pair of hand shears to cut the upper growth right above a lower hanging bud on the branch. Do not cut more than 1/2 of the branches full length. Make the cut straight, right above a flowering bud. Cutting away old buds will promote the growth of new, stronger buds which will lead to more robust blooms the next year. Look for light grey or brown branches that feel brittle or hollow to the touch. Diseased branches may also have spots or mold on them. Cut these branches down to the main stem, on a 45-degree angle, to make room for new growth and prevent potential disease from spreading. If the center of the branch is brown or gray, the branch is dead. If a branch looks weak or wispy, there's a good chance it will never develop flowering buds. Cut away these branches down to the main stem to promote growth in other parts of the plant. Leave strong branches that have minimal offshoots and that are capable of growing flowers. You should cut branches that are rubbing up against the main stem or crossing over, as they can damage the plant. Use a pair of hand shears and cut the branches down to the main stem. Use rejuvenation pruning if you want to start over with your weigela shrub. Prune all the branches down to 1/3 each season until the shrub is 410 inches (1025cm) in height and there is only new branches left. This is a great way to restart your plant without having to purchase a new one. You should rejuvenate prune in the late winter.
Summary: Saw 2-3 secondary stems to the ground on mature plants. Cut off the tops of the seed pod branches. Cut away dead or diseased branches. Prune off wispy branches. Cut off branches that are rubbing against the main stem. Prune 1/3 of the plant over several seasons to "restart" your plant.

Problem: Article: Medium-sized, flat brushes are ideal for contouring. Fluffier powder brushes will not blend your contour as well and give you less control over its shape. Smaller, eyeshadow brushes are also not ideal because of their streakier finish. Contouring creates the appearance of shadows on your chest to make your bust look bigger. Look for a bronzer one or two shades darker than your skin tone. This will help your contour look more natural and give you control over the shape. Test the bronzer out on your hand before applying it to your breasts to make sure you got the right color. Pair the bronzer with a highlighter powder with a slight sheen. Apply bronzer to your chest in a v-shape over and to the center of your cleavage. Then, brush your highlighter over the tops of your breasts and around the v-shape. This will give your breasts the illusion of appearing larger and fuller. Use your brush to dust over the bronzer and highlighter, blending them together into a smoother contour. Step back and examine your contour in the mirror to make sure you don't have any noticeable bronzer streaks. Check your reflection in an area with natural light to accurately gauge how your contour looks.
Summary: Find a blush or contour brush. Choose a matte bronzer. Contour over the top parts of your breasts. Blend the bronzer with your brush.

Problem: Article: A period is a standard sign of puberty. There are ways of telling if your period is coming. One way of telling if your period is near is vaginal discharge. Discharge is a yellow/white substance that appears in your underwear. Once you get your discharge, your period could come within 6 months to up to 2 years time. Some girls choose to wear a pantyliner to protect their underwear from discharge. You can expect your period about two years after you get breast buds. Just after your breasts start to form, you'll probably start growing pubic hair (hair on and around your private regions).It will be soft and thin at first, but it'll get coarser over time. Your period usually arrives around one to two years after public hair growth.
Summary:
Be aware that you can get your period anytime between ages 9 to 16. Know the signs. Note that your breasts will start to grow. Expect to see pubic hair grow.
