Article: This isn't necessary if you are acting out with your partner, although you may want to pick up tips from videos or books. If you truly want to become a dominatrix, having someone show you the ropes can be very helpful. Your mentor can teach you how to protect yourself, negotiate, and even teach you some behaviors. A lot of being dominatrix is about what you do, but what you say and how you say it can be just as important. Practice giving demands and speaking confidently. This may feel funny at first, but you will get use to it over time. Watch videos of other dominatrixes if you want to get an idea of how they speak. There's a big role-playing component with being a dominatrix. Come up with a routine so that you don't get stuck in your role. Plan your routine and practice it so that it feels natural when it comes to time to perform your act. You can watch videos of dominatrixes to get ideas. Ask your partner if they have specific desires. Incorporate these desires into your routine. Accessories are a large part of BDSM. A whip, blindfold, paddle, rope, and handcuffs are some commonly used dominatrix accessories. You can order these online or purchase them from a sex shop. Make sure that you and your partner are comfortable with the use of accessories. Some other accessories you can use are leash and collar and chastity belt. If you can't buy accessories, you can turn some of your items into BDSM accessories. For example, you can use a belt, silk tie, or sleeping mask. Just be sure that it's okay with your partner if the items belong to them. It requires some learning to use accessories correctly. For example, it takes practice with a whip to give the desired level of pain on the skin of your client without leaving wounds. Practice with your accessories and learn about them before fully using them. Don't use too much power. Getting carried away could lead to injury. Typically, the submissive will have a code that tells the dominatrix when they need to stop or hold back. Ask your partner or client to come up with a safe word to let you know when to stop. For example, the word could be "purple." Over time, you can develop a language with them that allows the "act" to go smoothly. Boss your partner around and stay in control, but be responsive to what they ask for. Along with being responsive, know when to stop if your partner or client looks in pain or is unconscious. Some minor pain may be desired, but the partner should not be truly hurt.

Article: Dark leaves on a snake plant indicate that it is healthy and well-nourished. Leaves that have a yellowish tinge on the outer edge of the leaves or leaves that are pale and floppy could indicate that the plant is dying. Don't re-pot your plant until it's healthy so it can adjust to its new home and survive the transfer. A pale sansevieria doesn't necessarily mean that the plant will die. It may just need some water and care and you can bring it back to life! Sansevieria are very susceptible to rotting out, especially if they sit in water for too long. Choose a pot that has good drainage, like a terra cotta pot or a pot made with another porous material so your snake plant isn't at risk of rotting. Porous materials include terra cotta, clay, timber, paper pulp, and other natural materials that allow moisture to move through them. Snake plants don't require too much water, and their roots can actually be damaged if they're allowed to soak in soil that is full of moisture. To allow for good drainage and a healthy root system, choose a free-draining soil mix or even a soilless potting mixture. Place your sansevieria into the potting mixture and cover it with enough to hold it secure in the pot. Many potting mixes that you can purchase from gardening stores are designed to help control moisture and improve drainage. Check the packaging for information on the potting mix. Use a soilless potting medium like vermiculite, peat moss, or perlite. When you're ready to re-pot your snake plant, take a firm hold of the base of the leaves, where they connect to the soil. Gently slide the plant out of its pot. Don't shake any dirt loose from the roots. Be careful not to yank or jerk the plant or you could separate the leaves from the roots and kill the plant. Move the plant to its new pot and add enough soil or soilless mixture to support the plant and keep it upright. Add more soil mixture if the sansevieria leans to one side or is unstable in the pot. Hold the snake plant in an upright position while you add soil to the pot. Pack the soil down by patting it with your hand to add support to the plant.

Article: Find some comfortable heavy blankets and big pillows when you know that a storm is coming. These can block out the storm. If you are agitated or particularly bothered by the noise, try covering your head with the blanket or with a large pillow being very careful that you have room to breathe. Grab a hoodie instead of pillows and blankets. This can be a pullover, zip-up, or full zip. It really doesn't matter. However, the hoodie should preferably be a thick but comfortable, and not one that is tight or restrictive. Try to fall asleep the hoodie on. Once you have retreated to your thunderstorm room, have earplugs, and are snug in your hoodie, give sleep a shot. The hoodie will cover your ears. If the lightning is still bothering you, reverse it so that the hood covers your eyes. Alternatively, some hoodies zip up all the way to the top of the hood. If you have one of these, pull the zipper all the way up to cover your face. If it makes you feel more secure, make a barrier of your favorite stuffed animals against the storm. Gather your animals together. Try arranging them in a circle or rectangle around your bed. You will be at the center. Hop into bed and snuggle down. Imagine that the animals are guarding you. Let their presence reassure you and create a make-believe force field to keep away the dark things. Remember, the storm will not last. Usually, the worst of a thunderstorm is over within a short amount of time, often between thirty minutes to an hour. You are also safe at home, inside of your room. Try not to worry yourself too much.
