Try asking your child what sorts of things they would like to have in their room to help you start planning. For example, if your child loves the ocean, then you might go with a nautical or aquarium theme or go with something more whimsical, such as mermaids. For a girl who loves the outdoors, you could create a camp-themed bedroom. If your daughter's favorite movie is Frozen, then perhaps you could decorate her bedroom to look like Anna's room in the movie, or simply incorporate lots of white and light blue touches with a few snowflake decals on the wall. your little girl loves. If you know what colors your little girl likes, choose 1 or 2 to be the central colors for the room. Ask your little girl what colors she would like her room to be if you're not sure. Some good color options include: Pastels, such as light pink, lavender, and yellow Muted tones, such as light grey, beige, and white Bright colors, such as magenta, coral, aqua, and lime green an accent color or cover it in wallpaper. If you don't want to paint all 4 walls of the room in the same color, then select 1 wall as an accent. This will help to anchor the room and draw the eye to 1 section of the room. Make the longest wall in the room your accent wall. This will help to make the room seem larger. A few pink or lavender touches is enough to make a bedroom seem girly, if that's what you're going for. Try choosing a wallpaper with some light pink flowers on it to use as an accent, or paint 1 wall a light lavender. If you don't want to paint the whole room, or if you want to add some extra flair after painting, then a mural or decal can work wonders. Paint the mural or add the decal over an area of the wall that will remain bare and open, such as the wall opposite the bed. For example, you could paint a porthole looking into the ocean for a nautical-themed room, a mural of a forest if you want to create a camp-themed bedroom, do a Scandinavian-inspired window looking out on a snowy tundra for a Frozen-themed room. Avoid adding a mural or decal to a part of the wall where a piece of furniture will block it, such as a dresser or the headboard. To decorate the walls without painting, hanging wallpaper, or sticking something on them, try hanging paintings, posters, or pictures on the walls. Choose some items that go well with your color scheme or theme. For example, if you are decorating your child's room with grey and coral colors, then a coral and white painting of a shell might be a nice touch. For a whimsical, unicorn-themed bedroom, a poster with a unicorn on it would be a great addition.

Article: Take it out yourself and hold it facing the audience. At no point in this trick do you see what this card is. If you don't have a surface in front of you, have them simply take the deck and pick a card. This way then verify themselves that it's not a trick deck, too. As you're holding it up, lightly pinch the bottom corner, bending it just slightly. The back of the card is still facing you. Don't make the pinch obvious to the unassuming eye. It should be something only you can see because you're looking for it. This works best with a set of cards that has been used before. A brand new fresh pack may make a bend a little too obvious. Getting someone else to do the work will make your trick seem more viable. Once the card is back in, shuffle the deck or have them shuffle it themselves. If someone else is shuffling your cards, have them hand them back to you when they're finished. Any direction is fine. Scan the cards or fan them out, telling your audience you need to get a read on the cards. Ham it up, making the trick truly entertaining. You have a couple options from here: Find a way to get that card to the top of the deck. You can then put the cards back in the package making sure the top card is between the box and the closing flap so you can pull it out. Start throwing out the cards that aren't theirs. Pick them up acting like you're going to say, "This is your card!" but then at the last minute you change your mind and say no. This can be done half a dozen times before you actually approach their card. Make it so the card is on the bottom. Than you can pretend to be frustrated as you go through the deck, not seeing their card. At the very end, there it is, waiting to amaze your friends. Whichever method you choose, make a show of it. Grin smugly, knowing that you just fooled them with simple magic. And remember not to reveal your trickery! The traditional pickpocket method is to place the packet in your pocket or in a spectator's pocket and amaze people by pulling out the specified card on top of the deck when the packet is reopened.

Article: Dark clothing requires extra gentle washing and can also bleed onto lighter clothes if they're washed at the same time. Therefore, always separate dark and light clothing before doing laundry. Darker garments should be washed separately. The less exposure dark fabrics get to water and detergent, the better. Turning your clothing inside out before washing it minimizes contact with water and soap. For best results, look for a detergent specifically formulated to wash dark clothes. A basic detergent that's free of additives is your best option. Avoid things like "color-safe bleach," as no bleach is actually 100% color safe. While you should avoid most additives, a built-in fabric softener is a good idea, especially one specifically formulated for dark clothes. Pick the shortest cycle offered by your washer or dryer. A briefer cycle minimizes dark clothing's exposure to water and soap, reducing the amount of damage it accrues. Choose the coldest water setting possible. Cold water does not cause as much fading and bleeding in the wash. Never wash dark clothes in warm or hot water. White vinegar can help prevent the build up of residue from detergent. Detergent residue is a major culprit in dark clothing becoming faded. During the rinse cycle, open your washer and add a cup of white vinegar. The less time dark clothing spends in the dryer, the better. It's best to hang your dark clothes to dry. Do not hang your clothes in direct sunlight, however, as sun exposure can fade color.
