article: Strive to stay relaxed before and during the ride. This can be achieved by breathing slowly and deeply to maintain a steady heartbeat. You might also try to keep a positive attitude in general, which could include soothing the horse by talking or singing softly to it before riding. Petting a horse before riding as well as during the ride can help keep both horse and rider calm. Petting during the ride has the added bonus of helping keep the rider's hands steady, allowing for greater control of the horse. This control can help calm the animal more quickly in the event of spooking. A good place to pet the horse is on its withers, which is at the tip of the shoulders where the neck and back meet. Simply stroke the fur softly to pet. You can also apply soft pressure with your fingertips or scratch lightly with fingernails. One way to help keep both the horse and rider calm during the ridethereby minimizing spookingis to use an application that sets a riding tempo. Acting like a metronome for the ride, the application will set a tempo for each gait, which the rider can speed up or slow down. The rider simply activates the application on a smartphone or mobile device and places it in their pocket during the ride with the volume up loud enough for the horse to hear it. Another way to use this application is to have a friend operate the tempo adjustments with the application hooked into a riding arena's public address system. This is a good way to ensure the horse can hear the beat. You may be startled by your horse's behavior if it gets spooked, but the horse will only experience greater stress if you show stress yourself. This is because your stress indicates to the horse that there is a legitimate threat, even though it is his or her stress to which you may be reacting. In this case, the horse can be more difficult to calm, so you really should remain calm if your horse gets spooked so as to minimize the horse's stress.

Be ready and willing to alter your daily hair care approach. Remember that a bright hair color will fade pretty quickly. Keep the cost of upkeep in mind when you choose a color."
article: If your hair is naturally light blonde, you may be able to achieve a bright or unnatural color without bleaching first. For most people, however, bleaching is necessary if you want to rock an unconventional hair color. If you try to dye dark hair with a bright dye, the color won't show up or you may end up with a color that you didn't want. Most hair dyes will not lift the color from your hair. You have to remove the current color with bleach before adding the new color on top. If you've never bleached your hair before, consider going to a salon to have it professionally done. Bleach can be hard to use and may damage your hair if you aren't careful. If you decide to bleach at home using a kit, always follow the instructions carefully to ensure good results. Not all hair colors are appropriate for work and school. Keep in mind that unconventional hair colors will make you stand out in a crowd and stick around for quite a while, so think carefully about whether your color is appropriate for all situations before you take the plunge! Colors that are found in natural hair, like red, black, and blonde, are generally appropriate for most situations. Dramatic colors, like hot pink, may not be appropriate if you work in a highly professional setting or if your school has strict rules about appearance. With certain creative jobs, an unconventional hair color may not be a concern. To keep your hair color looking bright and fresh, you'll need to change up some of your habits. For example, the sun will fade hair color, so if you spend time outdoors every day, you may want to cover your hair or reconsider the color. Limiting how often you shampoo to once or twice weekly and washing your hair with cold water can also help preserve the color. If you play sports or sweat a lot, you probably need to shampoo your hair every day. A bright hair color may not be a good idea. If cold showers sound unpleasant to you, you might want to avoid unconventional hair color. Unnatural colors tend to fade in a few weeks no matter how meticulous you are with your daily hair care. You may want to take into account whether you can live with the faded version of your chosen color before you dye your hair. For example, you may love your bright purple hair color, but in a few weeks it will probably start fading to reddish pink or lavender. Ask yourself how you feel about the faded version of the color you're considering. Red hair is one of the most difficult colors to maintain because it tends to fade very fast. Red hair usually requires a touch up every 2 to 4 weeks. Bleach, hair dye, and frequent touch-ups can be tough on your wallet! If you're planning to have your hair colored by a professional stylist rather than dyeing it yourself, the cost will be even higher. Spend some time considering whether you're willing to invest in the cost of your look. If you're low on funds, think about dyeing your hair a more natural color, which will be easier and cheaper to maintain.

article:
Even though you might think it's a good idea to wear that holiday sweater ironically, or because grandma will be hurt if you don't, holiday sweaters just don't look good on anyone. Really the only reason you should be wearing a holiday sweater is if you're attending a holiday sweater party or an ugly sweater party. This one can be hard to follow because it's pretty hard to tell which sweaters are going to pill. There are, however, a few things you can look for to make it less likely that you pick a sweater that's going to pill after a couple wearings. Check the material of a particular sweater. Merino wool, for example, tends to be stronger and less likely to pill that a fussy, fine-gauge cashmere. You should also pay attention to the length of the fiber used in the sweater, especially when it comes to natural, raw materials like cashmere. Longer fibers can be wound into tighter yarn, which makes it less like that the ends will come loose (which causes pilling). A good thing to do is let a sweater "rest" for 24 hours before wearing it again, because this lets the fibers rest from the stretching that happens when it's being worn. Stick to the sweaters that look good on you, ones that you feel confident wearing. Not everyone looks good in turtleneck sweaters, or a cropped top, or an over-sized sweater. Try to avoid just following the "fashion trends" in terms of sweaters. For example, shrugs are not in these days, so hopping on that bandwagon will mean you're now stuck with a bunch of sweaters that you're probably not going to wear. Be careful with color, as well. That lovely mustard color might look good on the mannequin, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily going to look good on you (not that many people can pull of any version of yellow). Tying your sweater around your neck (especially if it's a pastel, button down sweater) is going to make you look like you're off to the country or yacht club. Unless that's the look you're after it's best to stay away from it.
