Problem: Article: Survey your yard and decide where your driveway should be. Also, decide if you want a parking area or a circular driveway. Remember that a larger driveway will be more expensive than a smaller one. Watch for any drainage issues in the area where the driveway will be. It is important to position your driveway so that the water will run off the sides and not pool in the middle of it. You may delineate your driveway area with landscaping timber or bricks. This is optional. You will need to mark off the area of your new driveway before starting the driveway project. Place sticks or landscape stakes in the ground every 8 to 10 feet along the length of one side of the area that will be your driveway. Place a second set of stakes at least 10 to 12 feet across from the first set of stakes to mark the width of the driveway. You may want to make the width 14 feet if your driveway curves. You will need to know the length and width of your entire driveway. If your driveway curves, you might want to measure in sections and add them together instead of trying to measure all at once. For a really stable driveway, experts recommend laying three separate layers of different sizes of stone. This will take extra money and planning, so you need to decide early if this is the type of driveway you want. Laying a gravel driveway yourself, even if it is fairly short in length, will require time and physically intense labor. If you are physically unable to do heavy lifting and repetitive work (such as raking the gravel), you may need to hire someone to help you.
Summary: Decide where to put your driveway. Decide if you want to add a border for the driveway. Mark the new driveway area. Measure the area of the intended driveway. Consider laying two to three layers of gravel. Determine how much of the work you can realistically do yourself.

Problem: Article: If you are able to get seven to eight hours of sleep every night, you will begin reaping the benefits of beauty sleep without doing anything else! Good sleep helps prevent wrinkles and inflammation, stimulates muscle growth, and inhibits fat production. Make sure to wash the day away before bed. Residual dirt and makeup can clog your pores and lead to breakouts. Sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase can help prevent wrinkles and damage to your hair. Changing your pillowcase often is also advised, as it can accumulate dirt and oil, which can lead to clogged pores. If you want to maximize wrinkle-prevention, sleep on your back so your face has virtually no contact with the pillow. Your skin is renewing itself while you sleep. Give it a boost by providing it with lots of moisture before bed. For added moisture, try using a mask instead of a lotion or cream.
Summary:
Aim for eight hours. Wash your face. Choose the right pillowcase. Moisturize.
