When it comes to dark lipstick, precise application is key. Instead of rolling it on straight out of the tube, it's better to use a small lip brush to paint it on. You can purchase these at any cosmetic or beauty supply store. A second coat will help ensure your lipstick stays on all day or night. Use your lip brush to apply it exactly as you did the first coat. Double check your work, and make sure it looks perfectly even. If you desire, you can also outline your lips in a matching color lip liner. This can enhance and define the border around your lips. Another option is to apply concealer with a small concealer brush around your mouth to perfect the border between your lips and skin.

Summary: Use a lip brush to apply the lipstick. Apply a second coat of lipstick.

People like Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Frost, and Walt Whitman all changed the way people perceive and write poetry. Look up some poems by famous writers to see what you like and what you don't like about each of them. Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, and Sylvia Plath are also famous poets that have varying styles. You can also see some examples of different styles and tones in poetry by comparing and contrasting authors. A lot of poetry is saturated with feelings. You can easily inject emotions into your poetry if you understand what you are feeling throughout the day. Try to note whenever you are feeling a strong emotion and what made you feel it. Understanding your own emotions can be difficult. Try to dissect how you feel on a daily basis, and what situations disrupt your mood often. Emotions are a great tool to use in poetry because people feel them universally. The only way to get better at writing poetry is to practice it. Try to write poetry for at least 10 minutes a day, or more if you have time. Write about anything that you are inspired by. If you think you will forget to write, set an alarm on your phone to remind you. You never know when you might see something in your daily life that you want to write about. Carry a small journal or notebook around with you so that you can write down ideas or small poems in your daily life. If you're having trouble getting ideas about what to write, look up writing prompts that are specific to poetry. Be as creative as you can when reacting to the prompts, and don't be afraid to take them in an unorthodox direction. For example, answer a prompt like, "Write about your first birthday party," or, "Convey an emotion using only colors." You can often find poetry writing prompts on sites that accept poetry submissions.

Summary: Read famous poems as examples to follow. Get in tune with your emotions. Set aside time to write every day. Keep a poetry journal with you to write when inspiration strikes. Use writing prompts to give you inspiration.

You can learn exercises to improve the strength and flexibility in your injured foot and help prevent further injury. Start with a few minutes of light exercise, such as walking or riding a stationary bike. This will loosen your muscles and get blood flowing. Stretching exercises are a key step to restoring flexibility and range of motion. Following your doctor or therapist's recommended exercises, stretch the muscles and tendons in the injured foot. If you feel any pain during stretching, consult your doctor. A good example of a stretch is the towel stretch. Sitting on the floor with one leg straightened, loop a towel around the ball of your foot. Hold on to the ends of the towel and pull the top of your foot towards you. You should feel the stretch in your calf and down into the heel. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, and then rest for 30 seconds. Repeat the exercise 3 times. When done properly, strength exercises should help return the strength and endurance required for everyday activities to the injured foot. If you experience any pain during these exercises, consult your physical therapist or doctor. An example of a strength exercise is the marble pickup. Sit in a chair with both feet flat on the ground and put 20 marbles on the ground in front of you. Place a bowl near the marbles. Pick up the marbles one by one with your injured foot and place them into the bowl. You should feel the exercise on the top of your foot. It is important to keep up with your physical therapy to help you return to daily activities and reduce your chances of re-injury.
Summary: Go to physical therapy after the cast is removed, as advised by your doctor. Warm up at the beginning of each session. Stretch. Perform the appropriate strengthening exercises. Regularly perform the prescribed exercises.
