Article: Match the powder to your hair color, but then move a shade lighter. Once you apply it, the natural oils on your forehead will darken the color slightly, so going lighter keeps it from looking too dark. Experiment with a few brands until you find one you like.

Pick a powder 1-2 shades lighter than your hair color.
Article: Measure from the bed beneath the water to the highest level the water reaches in your area. Depending on how soft the earth is below the water, add another 12ft (0.300.61m) to that lengthcloser to 2ft (0.61m) for soft, silty beds. Multiply this length by the number of beams you will need to get the total length of PVC. When you're choosing the beams that go inside of the concrete, add another few inches to account for the height of the pier or dock above the water. For standard 8ft (2.4m) decks, a PVC pipe with a diameter of 12in (30cm) and a post with a diameter of 4in (10cm) should be sufficient. If you're building a deck that is larger than 8ft (2.4m), start with a PVC pipe of 18in (46cm) and a post that's about 6in (15cm). If you can't push the pipe into the ground by hand, lay a spare piece of wood on top of the PVC and hit it squarely with a sledgehammer until you reach the desired depth. It may help to spray paint the pipe in 1ft (0.30m) increments so you can tell how deep it is. Bail out the water that's inside of the PVC pipe with a bucket, then use a post-hole digger to remove sand, silt, or mud from the bottom of the pipe. The pipe should be clear down to the bottom. While you can use a pump to clear out the pipe, doing it by hand is safer, since you don't have to have electrical equipment near the water. If the ground is very hard, you may need to rent a mini-excavator. Quick-set concrete, or Quikrete, can be mixed by hand. Pour the concrete mix into a bucket and dig a small hole in the mix, then add in water according to the package directions. The amount of concrete you'll need depends on the size of your project. For a PVC pipe with a diameter of 12in (30cm) and a post of 4in (10cm), estimate about 2 bags of Quikrete per 1ft (0.30m) of height. If your pipe is 18in (46cm) in diameter and your post is 6 inches (15cm), you'll need about 5 bags per 1ft (0.30m). It may be a good idea to rent a concrete mixer for this project. Lower the post into the PVC pipe and push it down into the concrete. By pouring concrete into the pipe first, the post will be more stable when you put it into place. The PVC pipe will keep the water out of the concrete as it cures. Keep working until you fill the PVC pipe all the way to the maximum water line. Work slowly to ensure you don't end up with any air pockets in the concrete. This part of the process will take awhile, so it's probably a good idea to get some friends to help you fill and carry buckets of concrete. You may have some excess pipe at the top. You can cut this off with a reciprocating saw after the concrete dries, if you like. No matter how excited you are about having a pier to lounge on, it's important to let the concrete completely cure before you continue building your structure. After you poured all of that concrete, though, you'll probably be glad to have a couple of days to rest before you start building the framework.

Measure the approximate length of the PVC you'll need. Purchase heavy-duty PVC with a diameter of 1218in (3046cm). Drive the PVC pipe 12ft (0.300.61m) into the ground. Remove the water and mud from the pipe with a bucket and post-hole digger. Mix quick-set concrete in buckets according to the package directions. Pour 10in (25cm) of concrete into the pipe, then insert the post. Continue to pour concrete around the post. Repeat for each post, then let the concrete cure for 3-4 days.
Article: Before you start making any major lifestyle changes, you should meet with a therapist. Talk therapy is an effective way to treat ADHD and to deal with the frustration that often accompanies this disorder. With talk therapy, you will work one-on-one with a therapist to develop strategies that can help you deal with your ADHD symptoms. A therapist can help you to determine what you need to work on and guide you through your treatment for ADHD. For example, you and your therapist may find that you struggle the most with time management and organization. Your therapist could then teach you about strategies for improving these skills. Getting regular daily exercise may also help to improve the symptoms of ADHD. Some studies have shown that you can get even more benefits from exercising if you do your exercise outdoors, but keep in mind that this may not work for everyone. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day or at least on most days. Some good options include: riding a bike hiking running swimming skiing dancing or taking an aerobics class Practicing relaxation techniques on a daily basis can also help to reduce symptoms of ADHD. Try to set aside at least 15 minutes for relaxation activities every day. Some good relaxation exercises include: Yoga. Yoga may improve symptoms of ADHD by helping you to rebalance your mind. This can be especially helpful when you are feeling overwhelmed or restless. Meditation. Meditation shows more promising results than other treatment methods, such as dietary changes. Meditation relaxes you and increases your ability to concentrate over time. It can also help to control impulsivity and your ability to plan things. EEG Biofeedback. Although more studies are needed, this relaxation training method has shown some promising results for those with ADHD. During an EEG biofeedback session, you would have sensors attached to your scalp and you would practice controlling your stress levels with the aid of a video that represents your brainwaves. Over time, these sessions can help you identify the best ways to control your stress. Keep in mind that EEG biofeedback has to be conducted in a clinical setting. Not getting enough sleep can make your ADHD symptoms worse. Getting plenty of quality sleep each night may help you to function better the following day by increasing your ability to concentrate and deal with stressful situations. However, keep in mind that this treatment method does not help everyone and it probably will not be enough to treat your ADHD on its own. Make sure that you consider other treatment options as well. Some strategies that may help you get more sleep include: avoiding caffeine in the afternoon and evening sticking to a bedtime routine, such as taking a bath, brushing your hair and teeth, dimming the lights, and then listening to some soft music in bed going to bed at the same time every night (even on the weekend) keeping your bedroom dark and cool
