The tabletop surface may be rough, especially if you used construction-grade lumber. Wear down the worst offending areas with a hand planer. Start with obvious dents using a 40-60 grit sanding pad. Next, sand the entire table using progressively higher grit, ending with 120 or 220 grit. Be sure to sand the sides of the tabletop as well, especially where the breadboard ends attach to the main surface. Optionally, smooth out the corners and top edge of the table with the sander. . If you prefer a well-worn look, you can mark the table with nail dents, saw marks, or any other surface damage you'd like to inflict. . You may refer to our detailed guide, or follow the instructions on the wood finish of your choice. Wipe on the finish with a clean rag. Wait a few hours for the finish to dry, or as directed on the finish instructions. You can make your own rustic finish by letting steel wool dissolve in white vinegar. This takes about two or three days in an open Mason jar. Filter the liquid through a paper towel, then wait a few additional hours until it turns an amber color. . A polyurethane sealer will protect from spills and enhance the wood's color. Brush on two or three coats of polyurethane, letting the wood dry for 12+ hours between each coat. For best results, sand the table before each coat and wipe it off with a damp rag. Follow the safety instructions on the product. Work in a well-ventilated area or wear a respiratory mask. Use a well-made brush in good condition to avoid losing bristles in the polyurethane.

If the person doesn't look like he or she is preparing to hug you, then you may want to back off. If either of you requested the hug, then make the person you're hugging feel safe. Act as though the two of you are the only people who matter at the moment. The best way to judge how tightly or loosely to hug is to let whomever you're hugging indicate what they want by how hard they squeeze. If they are soft, be soft back; if they like bear hugs and squeeze tightly, hug back the same way. A hug is a powerful way to communicate that you care for another person, as it can feel great and improve the other person's mood. Ending the hug too early may make both of you feel awkward. If you feel comfortable, go along with it and hug until the other person lets go or loosens his or her hold.

Summary: Hug only when the person you want to hug extends his or her arms. Be welcoming when you hug. Avoid hugging the person too tightly. Hold the hug for a moment before letting go. Know when to give a long, loving hug, especially if the person is feeling upset or down.

Insulting, suggestive or improper slogans or pictures will never be considered classy, though some may be humorous. When it comes to dressing classy, steer clear of any suggestive or rude language. Regardless of whether it is day or night, showing a little skin is fine - no one expects you to be entirely covered - but balance exposed skin by covering up in other areas. For example, if you are going to rock an appropriate amount of cleavage, do not wear shorts, and opt instead for pants or trousers that cover up your legs. Never expose your midriff. Pair black, navy blue, or charcoal bottoms with white, beige, light grey, or light blue on top. Neutral colors have a mature look that will elevate your style. This look is professional and feminine. Personalize the look with a small, thin belt at the waist, and a simple piece of jewelry. If you want to wear a dress, the A-line piece is a classic, elegant cut that is appropriate for work and after-hours. The A-line will show off your figure without the risk of being too revealing. Classiness is in the details. Tucking in your shirt will look sophisticated, and rolling the sleeves on your blouse or shirt to a mid-forearm length will give your top a nice, finished look. Oxfords, pumps, ballet flats, and boots are all great choices. You'll want to avoid wearing sneakers, flip-flops, or shoes that are appear old, dirty, and scuffed, as these choices will make your outfit look sloppy. Less is more when it comes to accessories, so choose one or two pieces - like a nice necklace and a belt - to tie together your outfit. For a polished look, coordinate the colors of your accessories with the rest of your outfit. There's no need to spend an enormous amount of time on an elaborate hairstyle, but be sure to style your hair so that you look clean and put together. Washing and/or brushing your hair, or pulling your hair back into a crisp ponytail will finish off a classy look.

Summary: Avoid clothes which send out vulgar, rude messages or profanity. Don't over-expose your body. Wear neutral colors. Pair button down shirts with pencil skirts. Opt for A-line dresses. Tuck in your shirt and roll your sleeves. Wear appropriate footwear. Complete your outfit with accessories. Style your hair.
