Q: Your thumb should be on top of your fingernails. When each thumb is bent at the second joint, they will rest parallel to each other and mimic a pair of lips. Practice lightly kissing the shape of your "thumb lips." Try lightly running it over your thumbs and around the inside edges. Gently push it between your thumbs. Try to find a good pressure that feels right.
A: Curl your left hand loosely like you are making the letter "O". Tuck your right thumb into the opening on your left hand. Place your mouth gently on your thumbs. Experiment with your tongue. Practice kissing both gently and more forcefully.

Q: Paint with long, horizontal strokes for an even coverage. The thickness of the roller sleeve makes it hard to apply paint around adjacent corners, ceilings, moldings, doors, and windows. Even if you do manage to paint those areas closely, the paint will most likely dry with streaks. Start painting about 6in (15cm) away from the corner of the wall, and about 12in (30cm) up from the bottom of the wall. Then, stop your first stroke 24in (5.110.2cm) from the ceiling. Most of the paint on the loaded roller will transfer onto the wall from this first motion. Leaving areas by the ceiling and corners unpainted will give you the room you need to spread all of the applied paint. For the best paint coverage, mentally divide large walls into sections that are 23 feet (0.610.91m) wide, and divide other smaller areas into thirds. Then work within a single section with 1 load of paint before moving onto the next section with a new load of paint. Aim to cover the areas by the corner, ceiling, and bottom portions of the wall that you intentionally left blank. Use continuous motions that move up and down like a vertical zigzag. Continue this motion until the applied paint is evenly spread for that section of the wall. Always use a gentle pressure while rolling on or spreading the paint. Forceful motions or too much pressure can put streaks in the paint, and cause paint to build-up on the sleeve. If the paint roller begins to stick to the wall and won't spread the paint, do not add pressure. This means the roller needs to be loaded with more paint. To get a smoother coverage, always spread the paint towards the previously painted section. Leave about 6in (15cm) of space between the space you just painted, and the new section. Continue this process until the entire wall is painted. Use the same up and down, zigzag motions you used to spread the paint. You do not have to clean or get a fresh roller cover for this process. The paint residue left on the roller will help blend the wet paint on the wall without oversaturating it. Smoothing out the paint near the ceiling and floor with a vertical stroke is challenging if you have never used a paint roller before. Use a horizontal stroke to smooth the paint near those areas. Examine the painted area during the day, and see if the color pigment is even. Most light colors of paint will require 2 coats to adequately cover a wall. Some of the darker paints may require 3 coats. For oil-based paints, you can apply a second coat after it has dried for 24 hours. Latex paint dries quickly, so you should be able to apply a second coat after 4 hours of drying. Use a roller scraper to remove excess paint from the roller. Run the scraper across the sleeve lengthways. Get as much of the paint off as you can before washing. Then, rinse the sleeve with water until you can squeeze clear water out of it. Allow it to dry overnight before placing it back onto the metal frame. Roller scrapers can be purchased in the painting section at a local hardware store. If you do not have a roller scraper, carefully use a putty knife instead.
A: Use a paintbrush to outline the perimeter of the wall with paint. Roll the paint onto the wall using a slightly angled, upwards stroke. Spread the paint to unpainted areas by sweeping the roller up and down. Reload the roller with paint and begin painting the next wall section. Connect the separate paint sections with overlapping strokes. Apply a second coat of paint once the first coat has dried if needed. Clean the roller frame and sleeve when you are done painting.

Q: One of the best ways to clear up acne fast is by regularly washing your skin. Choose an over-the-counter skin wash that's low in oils and chemicals and wash your skin at least twice a day. Your doctor may recommend using a cleanser with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Wash your skin once in the morning and once before bed. When you dry your face, pat dry with a clean, dry towel. Do not use a towel that's been sitting out in the bathroom as you want to keep bacteria away from your skin. Always wash your skin after working out. If any sweat or dirt is left on your face after a hard workout, it can clog pores and cause acne. Make sure you wash your face after a workout. While there is conflicting evidence on the effects of diet on acne, you can try to change your diet for a week or two and see if it makes a difference. Dairy foods, chocolate, and foods containing a lot of sugar seem to increase the likelihood of breakouts. Some research indicates dairy, skim milk in particular, increases the likelihood of acne breakouts. You should try cutting back on dairy for a week or two and see if you notice any changes in your skin. While further studies are needed to verify, some research does show chocolate can cause breakouts. High sugar food especially can cause breakouts, so it might be a good idea to avoid sweets in general in addition to chocolate. Sun can damage skin and some acne medications can make you more susceptible to sunburns. Always apply a layer of sunscreen to your face before going outdoors. Remember, even if it's cold out, if the sun's shining, it could cause burns. Aim for a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. If you're looking to cure a breakout fast, eliminate any potential skin irritants until your acne is gone. Certain makeups and cover-ups can clog pores. While they may not cause a breakout in and of themselves, using makeup during a breakout can prolong its duration. It's a good idea to go without makeup until acne is eliminated, but another option is to talk to your doctor or skin care expert about better choices of makeup, such as loose mineral-based powders. A tinted moisturizer may be a good choice as well. Look for makeup that is water-based or noncomedogenic. If you've recently started using a new bath wash or shampoo, this may have caused your breakout. Cease use and see if it makes a difference.
A: Wash your skin regularly. Consider changing your diet. Use sunscreen. Eliminate potential irritants.

Q: If you have fair skin, bright colors will look nice on you. Tanned skin (Latin, Indian), purples and turquoise looks very nice. Brown skin, you're lucky that you can pull off almost any color in the world. Of course, feel free to wear what you like, even I don't follow the color rule sometimes. A ring, bracelet, or earrings can spice up an outfit.
A:
Wear what you think you look best in. Make sure it is figure-flattering, and isn't too tight or too baggy. Be proud if you have a larger chest than other girls, but don't show off too much. If you have plain and boring clothes, wear some jewelry with it.
