Q: You don't have to be very precise here, but aim to make the pieces between 8 and 10 inches (20.32 and 25.4 centimeters). It would be a good idea to have a few shorter ones and a few longer ones. For a 12-inch (30.48-centimeter) wreath, cut your boxwood into 4 to 6-inch (10.16 to 15.24-centimeter) sprigs. If the boxwood is dirty, rinse it with cool water first, then pat it dry with a paper towel. Choose a place on the outermost edge to start. Insert the end of the boxwood cutting 2 to 3 inches (5.08 to 7.62 centimeters) into the wreath. Angle the cutting so that it is flush against the wreath. Your grapevine wreath can be any side you want. The bigger it is, the more boxwood sprigs you will have to use. If your wreath is thin, make small bundles of 4 to 5 sprigs first. Tie the sprigs together with floral wire, then tie the bundles to the wreath with more floral wire. Fill the outermost edge first, then start on the next row directly above it. Insert each clipping 2 to 3 inches (5.08 to 7.62 centimeters), and angle it so that it is resting against the wreath. Make sure that all of the clippings are pointed in the same direction. Do not cover the back of the wreath. Use the shorter clippings for the inside ring. Once you have completed your wreath, go back over it and look for any gaps. If you see any gaps, fill them in with shorter pieces of boxwood. Make sure that no grapevine (except for the back) is showing. If the sprigs won't stick, secure them with a drop of hot glue. Go back over your wreath once again. Adjust the clippings so that they lay nicely. Trim away any that are unruly or that are sticking out too much. Cut a long piece of wide ribbon and thread it through the center of your wreath. Tie the ends together into a tight knot to make a loop. For a nicer touch, consider tying the ends into a fancy bow instead. The hanging loop can be as long or as short as you want it to be. Boxwood is pretty durable and it can last a long time. You can help it last even longer by squirting it with water a few times each week.
A: Cut your boxwood into shorter pieces using pruning shears. Insert your first clipping your grapevine wreath. Continue inserting the boxwood clippings until the wreath is full. Fill in the gaps. Neaten the wreath up. Loop a thick ribbon around your wreath. Hang your wreath.

Q: If math isn't your strong point or you don't have a calculator on hand, you can also figure out your waist-to-height ratio by using free, online calculators. There are many websites that offer to do your waist-to-height ratio. However, not all websites are preferred sources and may give you incorrect or unsubstantiated information. Try to use sources that are unbiased and well-founded. These will not only give you an accurate measurement, but also provide you with accurate information. Sources you can try include: Penn State Pro Wellness: http://prowellness.vmhost.psu.edu/prevention/understanding_risk/whtr Health & Fitness Calculators: http://www.health-calc.com/body-composition/waist-to-height-ratio The online calculators are really easy and simple to use. Plus, they allow you to figure out your waist-to-height ratio just in a few clicks. Measure your waist and height. You will need to measure your waist and height to input this information into the online calculator. Be accurate so the ratio comes out correctly. Online calculators will also generally require that you input your gender male or female. This doesn't factor into the actual calculation, but does impact how your results are read. Many of the online websites will not only provide you with your waist-to-height ratio, but also provide you with information, advice or suggestions for managing your weight. After you've put in your information and received your waist-to-height ratio, you may get some information regarding your results. Many sites will provide recommendations based on these results. Since your waist-to-height ratio reflects your risk for chronic health conditions and provides information regarding your body fat distribution, if your ratio is high, a website may suggest losing weight. The same goes for a lower waist-to-height ratio. If you have an overly low ratio, a website may advise that you are underweight and should gain weight in order to be healthy. Although in general, these recommendations may be appropriate, do not gain or lose weight without speaking to your doctor first. Remember, this information is only part of your health picture and should not be used to diagnose or treat any condition.
A: Find an appropriate online source. Input your information. Take recommendations with a grain of salt.

Q: You can throw the pillows in a dryer with something like a tennis ball. Even just running the pillow through the dryer should fluff it up. You could put your pillows in the dryer once a month. Put the tennis ball in a sock, tie the sock at the end, and throw them both in a dryer for a few minutes. The pillow will be fluffed and perfect for a good night's sleep. Try this method only if you haven't been able to fluff the pillow by hand. For cotton fill pillows, put the pillow in a dryer on low for 20 minutes, as this will take the place of you hitting your pillow repeatedly. The pillows should be completely dry when you remove them, and you can fluff them more by doing the fist blows. Use a low heat or air setting. Usually pillows lose their volume because of moisture, so the sun can help dry them and increase fluffiness. When fluffing pillows by hand (patting and molding the pillow) doesn't do the trick, you should leave your pillow out in the sun for a couple of hours. You could hang the pillows outside on a clothes line, if you have one. About three to four hours should be enough time to make sure the sun absorbs the moisture. By the way, it's also possible to wash your pillows, depending on the type of pillow.

Put pillows in the dryer with a tennis ball. Leave the pillow out in the sun.
