Make sure to stand in natural light and wear white clothes when determining your skin tone. Colored clothing may reflect artificial light which can affect how you see your skin color. Use a mirror to determine the surface color of your skin. Surface color skin tones are fair, light, medium, or dark. Fair skin tones are light and burn easily. Light skin tones are also fair but have more beige and yellow undertones than fair skin. Medium skin tones are darker and have olive undertones and usually have green, warm brown, or hazel eyes. Dark skin tones are deep and rich. Those with dark skin tones typically have dark brown eyes. Your surface skin tone may change depending on the season or how much time you spend in the sun. Unlike surface skin tone, undertones remain constant regardless of skin conditions like rosacea and acne. To determine your undertone, look at the color of your veins in your wrist. If your veins appear blue or purple, you have a cool undertone. If they appear greener, then you are warm-toned. Neural toned people will have blue-green veins. Many people from African or Indian who have an easy time tanning have warm undertones. If you get red, flush easily, or burn when tanning, you most likely have a cool skin undertone. The color of your eyes also contributes to your overall tone. Those with golden brown, green, and blue eyes are normally warm-toned. Additionally, those with gold specs in their eyes commonly have warm undertones. Those with black or deep, steel blue, or hazel with gray or blue flecks have cool undertones. Keep your eyes in mind when considering your hair color. Light blue or gray eyes look good with light blonde hair. Darker toned people look good in dark brown or mocha hair. If you aren't looking to make a fashion statement or have people notice you, then you may want to pick a color that compliments your tone. Doing this will allow your dye to look natural and attractive. Those with a cool tone look good in colors like wheat blond, walnut brown, tawny blond, golden caramel, or copper. Those with a medium tone look good in gold, honey, auburn, cinnamon, ebony brown or mocha. Chocolate brown, mahogany, toffee, or other warm and rich colors are best for people with darker complexion.

Summary: Look at the color of your jawline. Determine your skin's undertone. Think about the color of your eyes. Pick a hair color that compliments your tone.

Bright red shades can look overwhelming if used in every accessory. Instead, use different shades of red to create contrast while staying within an all-red color scheme. You have a lot of options with red, starting on the lighter end spectrum with pinks and light reds, and ranging all the way into super dark shades like wine and burgundy. For instance, you could wear a scarf, shrug or wrap in a shade of red that's slightly lighter or darker than your dress. This shade is deep enough to mimic the classic look of black, but offers a subtle hint of color. Try wine-red ballet flats with a simple red dress. With a bold dress, amp up the intensity by wearing deep red patent leather pumps. Try pairing a trendy red dress with burgundy booties in leather or suede. Choose pieces set with rubies, garnets or deep red Swarovski crystals. Gunmetal settings create a tough look, while silver and gold settings have classic appeal. If you want to take the monochrome theme even further, choose pieces made of rose gold. For instance, pair an iconic little red dress with a ruby or garnet pendant on a delicate silver chain. Add drama with a matching cocktail ring. Restrict your jewelry to one or two small pieces, and avoid any accessory that looks unnecessarily large. Let your red dress be the focal point. A matching belt and purse in crimson or burgundy leather can add great contrast to your red dress while still creating a classic vibe. Choose a thin belt and smaller purse, like a clutch, so the focus stays on your dress. You can certainly have an ensemble with multiple red pieces, but try to keep the accessories relatively toned down.

Summary: Mix in different shades of red. Wear burgundy flats, heels or boots. Wear jewelry with red gemstones. Add a belt and carry a purse in the same red shade.

You need to use a large enough pot with good drainage. You might also want to consider pots made out of plastic or resin, since these won't absorb water that should go to the plant. Potted plants need a more nutrient rich soil than garden plants, since they don't get the benefit of water circulation like regular plants. Use a high-quality potting soil and pair it with some compost. Potted plants, like garden plants, are prone to pests and mold. Even more so because they lack the natural environmental counterbalances. If mold develops on your soil, remove the top layer of soil and replace it. If you end up with a pest problem, deal with it promptly before your flowers are negatively affected. Different types of flowers need more or less sun. Carefully plan where you will place your pots so that the flowers get the correct amount. You'll have to keep the light angle, time of day, and directionality of the sunlight in mind when placing the pot (don't just put a sun-needy flower in front of just any window). If you don't have access to enough sunlight, trying using a fluorescent light. If the plant doesn't seem to be taking off in the way you'd like, introduce an appropriate fertilizer for that particular plant. Consult your local nursery for a good product. When the blossoms get wilted or are simply growing in an unnecessary location (such as under the rest of the plant), you can encourage more and healthier blossoms by pinching off the ones you don't want. Check the soil for moisture daily and provide the right level of water to keep the soil damp enough for your particular plant. The temperature of the environment, exposure to natural rainfall, the type of soil, and the type of plant all play a part in how much water your flowers will need. Check your plant every now and again to see if it needs a bigger pot. Turn it over and look at the drainage holes. If lots of roots are poking through, you need a bigger pot.

Summary: Use the best possible pot. Use the appropriate soil. Keep an eye out for pests and mold. Give the flowers the right amount of sun. Introduce some fertilizer. Deadhead to encourage more blossoms. Maintain a good watering routine. Increase the pot size if necessary.

Put the baking soda in a small a bowl and stir in a little bit of water. The consistency should be a thick paste. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water to thin it out. If you put too much water and the mixture is too thin, add a little more baking soda to thicken it. Dip a bottle brush into the paste, making sure to coat the bristles heavily. Use the brush to scrub the inside of your flask. Target areas that are badly stained by using small, circular motions. Repeat this step as needed. It may take a few goings over to completely remove the stain, so don't worry if the stain doesn't come out on the first go. Fill your flask with warm tap water. Use the bottle brush along the insides of the flask to loosen up the baking soda paste. Swirl the water around the bottle a few times and then pour it out. Try filling the bottle up about halfway with water, putting on the lid, and gently shaking the bottle up and down. Pour the water out and run fresh water into the bottle. The agitation will help clear out excess residue. Once there is no baking soda residue remaining on the inside of the flask, continue to run the warm water into the flask, swirl it around, then pour it out. Repeat this step 2 or 3 times, or until the water runs clear. Place the bottle in a dish drying rack, or try propping it an angle against your kitchen wall or the side of the sink. Just make sure it has proper air circulation to prevent bacteria from growing. To help with timing, try washing your Hydro Flask in the evening to allow it to dry overnight and be ready to use the next day.
Summary: Mix 2-3 tbsp (30-45g) of baking soda with warm water to form a paste. Scrub the inside of your Hydro Flask with the paste. Rinse your Hydro Flask thoroughly with warm water. Dry your Hydro Flask by allowing it to sit upside down.
