Article: Growing zones are geographical areas divided into climates. Growing zone charts are used to determine which plants are most likely to survive in your region. Search online to find your growing zone and which bulbs are suitable for it. Your government's agriculture department, as well as gardening websites, may compile this information. For example, snowdrops, tulips, and daffodils are fairly hardy. They grow in most areas, including zones 4 through 10 in the U.S. Dahlias, tuberose, and sternbergia bulbs do better in warmer areas. They grow best in zones 2 through 7 in the U.S. Read the catalog or bulb packages to figure out how much space you need to leave between each bulb. This differs from bulb to bulb, but larger bulbs need about 3 to 6in (7.6 to 15.2cm) of space. If you are short on space, choose smaller bulbs. Research the space requirements in advance so you can plan out your yard properly and buy enough bulbs. Many bulbs will need to be divided every few years. Dig up a clump and divide it into 2 or more sections to replant in another place. These bulbs bloom in early spring, so they should be bought and planted around September in the Northern hemisphere. Place them in your garden at least 2 weeks before the ground freezes. This way, the bulbs have plenty of time to settle and grow healthy for spring. Spring-flowering bulbs include tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses, alliums, and some lilies. Summer-flowering bulbs need to be planted in early spring, around March in the Northern hemisphere. Place them when the ground softens so that they grow beautiful flowers at the beginning of summer. Summer-flowering plants include irises, dahlias, gladioli, begonias, cannas, and some lilies. Fall-blooming bulbs can be set in the ground along with spring-flowering bulbs. The best time for planting is in early fall, around September. These bulbs will sprout in a year, after other bulbs have faded. Some examples of fall-blooming bulbs include colchicum, autumn crocuses, and cyclamen. Bulbs are considered to be a special type of perennial, which means they can bloom year after year. Many other garden flowers are annuals or perennials, both of which can fill the spaces between bulbs in your garden. Annuals, such as petunias, marigolds, and daisies, bloom and die within a year. They have to be replanted. Biennials, such Sweet William and foxglove, flower and die in the second year. This can mean uncolored space in your garden in the first year. Perennials, such as peony, aster, and bulbs, flower every year. Think of them as permanent plants in your garden. Although bulbs are considered perennials in nature, you may need to plant more after 1 or 2 years. The best bulbs look plump and feel solid to the touch. Avoid any bulbs that look shriveled or have soft spots. These bulbs may be old or damaged and less likely to survive after planting. Your local gardening center will have a selection of bulbs appropriate for your growing area. They may not have as wide a selection as online catalogs. Visit online gardening centers to select from a wider variety of bulbs. Bulbs purchased online aren't likely to be damaged during shipping. However, all bulbs should be planted as soon as possible to ensure their survival. Plan for shipping time, about a week, when ordering online. Make sure bulbs purchased online are appropriate for your climate zone. Leave the bulbs in their original packaging. Choose a spot in a dry, protected area, such as a drawer, shed, or garage. Maintain the temperature at about 35 to 45F (2 to 7C) so the bulbs don't sprout or rot. Properly-stored bulbs may last as long as 12 months. A few bulbs may do better in different temperatures. Check the storage information online or on the packaging. For the best results, order your bulbs during the planting season, then plant them within a week. Be careful when ordering online. Online catalogs may have bulbs not suitable for your growing area.

Article: Tea tree oil is an all-natural and highly-effective cleansing agent available at your local drug store or health foods market. Pour one cup of warm water into a medium sized bowl. Add a few drops of tea tree oil and stir to combine. For those with sensitive skin or allergies, using your own shampoo, plus baking soda, is a safe and gentle option. Pour one cup of warm water into a medium sized bowl. Add a teaspoon of shampoo and a teaspoon of baking soda and stir to combine. Using a clean toothbrush, dip the brush end in the solution. Make sure that the toothbrush bristles are completely soaked with the cleansing agent. Take the toothbrush and brush the cylinder or pad from the base, where the bristles are connected to the brush head, all the way to the top. This will remove oil, dandruff, and leftover hair product. Move around the hairbrush methodically to cover the entire surface. Make sure to include small circular motions to help dredge up heavily soiled brushes. After scrubbing the bristled brush cylinder or pad, dip the head of your hairbrush into the cleansing agent. This will help to remove any loose particles, as well as provide a second rinsing, which is particularly useful on stubborn hair product build up. If the hairbrush has a wooden handle or paddle, do not submerge the brush in the water. Most wooden brushes are coated in a moisture repellant, but they aren't 100% resistant. Instead of submerging in the bowl of water, perform one or two additional toothbrush cleanings. Fill a second medium sized bowl with clean and cool water. Lower your hairbrush into the water gently submerging the entire bristled area. For circular brushes, you may have to twist your brush in your palms to make sure the entire area has been rinsed. If you have a wooden bristled brush, hold the brush bristle side down over a sink or a towel. Take a mist or spray bottle and soak the cleansed bristles until the water runs clear from the bristles.

Article: Using one with molded cups and padding helps hide your extra stuffing. It should be about twice the size of your bra cup. The folded piece should be about the size of your bra cup. If it's too large, pieces will stick out and give your secret away. Trim off a bit at the end. Repeat this step on the other side. Use one piece of tissue per cup. If you add more, they're more likely to bunch up and ruin your silhouette. If you're not satisfied with the amount of boost, try thicker tissues or 3- or 4-ply toilet paper. If it looks uneven, go back to the beginning and repeat with a fresh tissue. Tissues are not the material of choice, since they absorb and hold moisture from perspiration, losing their shape and making you uncomfortable. However, this method will work if you're in a bind.

Put on your bra. Rip off a piece of tissue. Fold the tissue in half. Put the square of tissue in your bra so that it fits inside the cup perfectly. Check yourself in a mirror and make sure you look symmetrical. Use tissues for emergency stuffing only.
