Take a moment to focus on your breathing before initiating sex. Use that time to clear your head of any thoughts that might distract you or cause you additional anxiety. If you find it impossible to let go of the stresses from that day, try having sex on a less-stressful day instead. Trying and failing when you can't clear your mind will only cause further stress and anxiety. It may also help to meditate before having sex as meditation is known to alleviate anxiety. Some doctors and couples therapists recommend slowing down during foreplay to help ease into sex. Focus on touching/caressing your partner, and take your time during foreplay to get comfortable with one another and ensure that your partner's needs are met. This can help take some of the pressure off. Practice mindfulness during sex. Think about how each part of your body feels and how you are connected to your partner. You can enjoy sexual play without an orgasm. Try to enjoy the time you're spending with your partner and allow yourself to be happy in the moment, no matter what happens. Try to remove expectations. Taking away the expectations associated with sex can help alleviate some of the pressure you might be feeling. Enjoy every sensation you are having with your partner, and communicate throughout the experience with your partner. Communication can help alleviate a lot of anxiety and ensure both you and your partner are comfortable throughout the experience. Tell your partner when you like something while it's happening. Sex therapists will often advise a couple to abstain from intercourse until the affected partner can overcome his or her anxiety associated with performance. Even if you don't think you need a break from sex, it's important to allow yourself to simply not want sex from time to time. This can help take some of the pressure off of performance anxiety.

TL;DR in English: Practice deep breathing beforehand. Take your time. Focus on your partner. Communicate during sex. Take a break from intercourse for a while.

The right earrings can alter the overall appearance of your ears quite well, but the wrong ones will make them stand out even more. There are two approaches people use for large ears, so try them both and see which works for you:  Small lobe earrings detract attention from tall or stuck-out ear tips. Studs are a good choice, but small hoops or dangle earrings can work. Other people take the opposite approach and wear large lobe earrings, making the ears look relatively smaller. Like upper cartilage piercings, this tactic does make your ears into a focal point, but perhaps one you can be proud of. Not only do these draw attention to your eyes, a pair of sunglasses with large frames can partially hide your ears if you push them up to your forehead. While you might worry about your ears, chances are good that other people barely notice them, especially if you draw their attention elsewhere. Choose a top with a bright color or a vivid pattern, or wear a necklace. Wearing a little makeup will focus attention on your face. Try contouring using two shades of foundation. Start by contouring the outline of your face with foundation two or three shades darker than your skin, then use lighter foundation to highlight areas such as the center of your forehead and the bridge of your nose. Blend these together well along the border between them. You can even contour the outer edge of your ears in the same way, but this can be difficult to get right if you're not used to applying makeup. On days when you are feeling especially insecure, pin back your ears to the side of your head using double-sided tape. Use a tape intended for skin to avoid pulling out your hair, such as clothing fashion tape. This is a temporary measure for occasional use. The tape may come undone if you leave it on too long. There are many accessories that hide your ears altogether, including headbands, earmuffs, bandanas, scarves, turbans, hoods, or a hat large enough to tuck your ears into. A large pair of headphones will also work when you're engaged...

TL;DR in English: Experiment with earrings. Wear sunglasses. Distract with a flashy top or necklace. Contour your face with makeup. Use double-sided tape. Cover your ears completely.

A bunion is a chronically sprained and inflamed joint that forms when the big toe is constantly pushed towards the smaller toes, usually by wearing ill-fitting shoes or shoes that are too narrow (such as high heels). Flat feet also contribute to bunion formation, which can mimic rheumatoid or osteoarthritis because of the inflammation, redness and dull, achy pain involved. As bunions progress, the big toe becomes more crooked and generates more pain, which may lead to limping and other joint problems in the ankle or knee.  Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories (such as ibuprofen or naproxen) or analgesics (such as acetaminophen) can combat the swelling and pain caused by bunions. If the pain is severe, stronger medications may be prescribed by your family doctor or orthopod (such as COX-2 inhibitors or morphine-based drugs). Steroid injections directly into the joint can be effective for combating pain and inflammation. The vast majority of bunions occur in women who wear shoes that are too narrow. Changing to shoes that have a wider toe box and better arch support can certainly stop the progression and pain of a bunion, but it probably won't straighten the big toe back to its normal position. After giving up high-fashion shoes, if the bunion is still painful and limits activity, then surgery should be considered.  You should be able to wiggle your toes while your shoes are on. There should be at least 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of space between the tips of your big toes and the end of your shoes while standing up. Athletic shoes and walking sandals are generally good choices. Taping a plastic, wooden or metal splint around the affected toe might help reduce the pain and realign the joint, depending on how long you've had the bunion. Silicone or felt pads worn on the feet or as shoe inserts may also relieve bunion pain, but it depends on the degree of joint damage. Orthopods, podiatrists, physical therapists and chiropractors could all be of help with splints or shoe orthotics.  Arch supports and orthotics realign the...

TL;DR in English: Take care of the pain. Change your shoes. Get a splint. Consider bunion surgery.

Think about the ideals, values, and moral attributes that are important to you.  These might include being a good friend or being healthy. Values and ideals are the ideas about life that you think you need to excel. They are different from goals in that goals are more concrete actions that can be completed. The first step is to figure out what excelling at life means to you, as well as for your values and the kind of life you want to have.  It may take time to sort through all of these questions and to decide what excelling at life truly means for you.  Try to create the broadest possible definition of excelling in life: short-term, long-term, big dreams and small successes.  Get a journal or notebook that you dedicate solely to your new vision of your life and how you want to see yourself succeed. Start by making a list of all the ways you could excel at life, whether they are realistic or not.  Write down your highest aspirations all the way down to simple things like doing the dishes every day. You may find that your definition of excelling at life can start with making small changes every day, whether it has to do with your personal health, finances, career goals, family, romance, personality traits such as being more kind, or nurturing your friendships. Look at your list of the ways you can excel. Then look at your list of values and ideals. Begin to figure out how they match up. Which goals accentuate your views about life and the kind of person you want to be? Start to group the ways you want to excel into similar categories, such as career goals, hobby goals, health goals, family and friendship goals. Then group these into long-term and short-term goals. You might have a health goal of being able to weight-lift 300 pounds, or you might have a career goal of becoming a journalist, or you might want to wash the dishes every night. Now that you have started to get clear on what excelling means for you, start prioritizing your goals.  Which ones are long-term goals that will make you feel like you are...

TL;DR in English: Make a list of your ideals and values. Make a list of all the ways you can excel in life. Make a list of your goals. Prioritize your goals. Find role models.

The cat-cow exercise is taken from yoga, and involves moving between the cat pose and the cow pose while synchronizing your movement to your breath. If you perform cat-cow regularly, it will increase flexibility in your spine.  Start on all fours with your back flat. Your wrists should be directly under your shoulders, your knees directly under your hips. On an inhale, drop your belly towards the ground and lift your chest and pelvis towards the ceiling to arch your back into cow position. As you exhale, round your back towards the ceiling, tucking in your tailbone and dropping your chin to your chest. Repeat the movements for 10 to 20 breath cycles. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth. The sphinx pose helps increase blood flow to your lower back, which can help heal lower back problems as well as build muscle. To start, lay on your stomach with your legs extended behind you.  Raise up onto your forearms, keeping your elbows directly under your shoulders. Press down into the floor with your feet and your palms, pushing your pubic bone forward until you feel your lower back engage. Hold the position for 1 to 3 minutes, breathing deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth. Downward facing dog is a classic yoga pose that provides a good whole body stretch as well as mental calm and focus. By stretching your hamstrings in particular, you help strengthen your lower back.  Get on all fours on your mat with your knees directly below your hips. Your wrists can be directly below your shoulders or a little in front of your shoulders. Connect to your breathing, inhaling slowly and deeply through your nose and exhaling out your mouth. On an exhale, lift your hips towards the ceiling, straightening your arms out in front of you until you form an inverted "V." Keep your shoulders rolled back and your neck loose. As you inhale, think of lifting your hips up even higher towards the ceiling, drawing weight up your arms and away from your wrists. On the next exhale, focus on...

TL;DR in English: Warm up with the cat-cow exercise. Increase circulation with the sphinx pose. Stretch your hamstrings with downward facing dog. Do a two-knee twist. Rest in child's pose.

. If you want to remove blackheads naturally, it's important to separate the astringent cleaners from the gentle cleaners to keep your skin as healthy as possible. It's likely you'll want to avoid harsh, alcohol-based cleaners, as well as chemical-based commercial cleansers. It's also important to be gentle with your skin as you wash. Don't pick at your blackheads, or scrub your skin vigorously. Only use gentle scrubbing, even if you're exfoliating. You don't need to dig at your skin to keep it clean. . Done properly and applied in the correct way, home remedies can be crafted using a wide variety of ingredients that are effective at tightening, soothing, and exfoliating your skin, making your skin more inhospitable to blackheads. . Using natural-based moisturizers is essential to healthy skin. While many associate oiliness with blackheads, it's true that using excessive products that dry out your skin will actually end up making your skin oilier in the long run. Remember to moisturize regularly with natural plant-based oils and moisturizers to keep your skin healthy. There are many types of oil you can use, such as olive, avocado, or almond oil. Pour 1–2 teaspoons (4.9–9.9 ml) of the oil into your hand and gently massage it into your skin for 1-2 minutes to remove dead skin, makeup, or dirt. Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe the oil off your skin to keep your face hydrated without it looking greasy. When you’re finished, pat the area dry with a clean towel.Mix a few drops of essential oil into the oil if you want to make it scented.

TL;DR in English:


Get a haircut. Experiment with color. Use hot rollers. Get a perm.

Following a shower, your shower’s walls are covered in water, soap, and dirt particles. When left on the walls, soap scum is formed and mildew and molds grow. To prevent the build up of these items, squeegee your shower walls and door after each use. Run over the walls and corners with a clean, dry towel to soak up any remaining water. Leave the shower door ajar to allow the area to dry.   Maintaining this daily routine will make it easier to clean your travertine shower. To eliminate soap scum, switch from bar soap to liquid soap. While wiping down your shower walls after each use will dramatically decrease the presence of soap scum, mildew, and mold, trace amounts of these items will cover your shower walls. Clean your  shower every one to two weeks.  Spray the walls and shower door with a gentle cleaner. Allow the product to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Buff the travertine stone, glass, and metal fixtures with a clean microfiber cloth. Eradicate mineral build-up with a stone scrub, an abrasive cleaner that should be used with caution on polished surfaces. Spray the treated area with a gentle cleaner and blot with a microfiber cloth. Constant exposure to water can damage travertine tiles, ruin grout, and encourage the production of soap scum, mildew, and mold. To maintain a clean, structurally sound shower, conduct a deep clean and an assessment every six months.  Treat your walls with a soap film remover to remove soap scum build up. Allow the product to sit for a few minutes before polishing it off with a microfiber rag. Target mildew and mold in your shower with a mild mildew remover. After allowing product to sit for a few minutes, remove the residue with a clean microfiber rag. Examine your grout and search for cracks and holes. If you discover any missing grout, repair it immediately—cracks and holes in the grout may lead to extensive water damage. Allow the repaired grout to cure for 7 to 10 days. Observe the tiles for discoloration. If you spot a dark tile that was once light, this is a sign of water...

TL;DR in English: Squeegee and wipe down your shower after every use. Clean your shower every one to two weeks. Deep clean and assess the integrity of your travertine twice a year.

International Chemical Safety Cards provide succinct, detailed safety information. Search for the exact name of the acid you will be using, such as "hydrochloric acid," in the online database. Some acids may require additional safety precautions, besides those described below.  Sometimes several cards are issued, depending on the concentration and additions to the acid. Pick the one that most closely matches your initial acid solution. If you prefer to read them in another language, select one here. Splash safety goggles that cover all sides of the eyes are required when handling acid. Protect your skin and clothing by wearing gloves and a lab coat or apron.  Tie up long hair before handling the acid. Acid can take several hours to burn holes through clothing. Even if you do not notice a spill, a few drops can damage your clothing if it is not underneath a lab coat. Whenever possible, keep the acid solution in a functioning fume hood while you are working. This limits exposure to gaseous vapors produced by the acid, which can be corrosive or poisonous. If a fume hood is not available, open all windows and doors, or turn on a fan to ventilate the area. If acid gets on your eyes or skin, you'll need to flush it with cool, running water for 15–20 minutes. Don't start the dilution until you know where to find the nearest functioning eye wash station or sink. When washing your eyes, keep your eyelids wide open. Rotate your eyes by looking up, right, down, and left to make sure all sides of your eyeball are rinsed. You can purchase an acid spill kit that contains all the necessary materials, or acquire neutralizers and absorbers separately. The process described here can be used for hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, or phosphoric acid, but other acids may require further research to dispose of properly:  Ventilate the area by opening windows and doors, and turning on fume hoods and fans. Apply a weak base such as sodium carbonate (soda ash), sodium bicarbonate, or calcium carbonate to the outer edges of the spill,...

TL;DR in English: Read the relevant Chemical Safety Cards online. Wear splash goggles, gloves, and a lab coat. Work in a fume hood or ventilated area. Know where running water is located. Have a spill plan ready, specific to your acid.

Cards may seem like something only a person would enjoy. However, if you make an interactive card a cat can play with, your cat may love receiving a card. Many cats enjoy puzzle games, so a card with a small toy or treat hidden inside could be fun for a more playful cat.  You can make a card at home with construction paper. Add decorations your cat can play with, like dangly ribbons and strings. Just make sure not to include anything your cat could potentially swallow. Tape a toy or treat inside the card for your cat to find. A toy scented with catnip can be particularly fun, if your cat tends to enjoy catnip. If you're having guests over, decorations can be fun. However, try to include things your cat can enjoy. You can decorate with things like dangly strings and puffballs, and keep them hanging low enough for your cat to tear off the wall. Make sure any interactive decorations are cat-friendly. Some strings and smaller items could be swallowed and potentially cause damage. Stick to toys and items your cat has played with safely before. A homemade toy can be a fun, inexpensive way to show your cat you care. You can set up a temporary fort made with pillows and blankets for your cat to play in on its birthday. You can also sew a toy using scraps of felt and stuffing. You can make something super simple by balling up a piece of tinfoil. Your cat will love chasing this new toy. You can also stop by a local supermarket or pet store and purchase some toys for your cat. Try to find a variety of fun, new toys your cat will enjoy.  Think about toys your cat has loved in the past. If your cat loves puzzle games, this can be a nice option. This can be particularly nice if you're gone a lot during the day. A puzzle game can keep your cat from getting bored without you. You can also encourage guests to bring over new toys, if they feel like doing so. You do not want to pressure anyone into giving a gift, but some guests may want to offer your cat a treat.

TL;DR in English: Make a cat-friendly birthday card. Build decorations you cat can enjoy. Provide some new homemade toys. Give your cat some new toys.

You should find a career that fits your unique skills and loves, not one that you hope you'll enjoy once started. A career is something your work on and build for years, a job is something you just do to pay the bills. If you don't think about yourself first and foremost chances are good you'll be bouncing around careers a lot.  Is there a particular field (entertainment, healthcare, finance, etc.) that you want to zero in on? What are your absolute needs in a job? (High salary, helping others, working with kids, etc.) What are your absolute "turn offs" in a job? (Work without helping others, work 50+ hours, go back to school, etc.) What do you know well or have studied? Even little things make a big difference here -- volunteer work, classes or hobbies, odd jobs, passionate extracurricular, etc. Don't feel like there is a "right" answer to picking a career. There is not! This is about finding your wants and needs, then looking for the career that matches them later. If you're unsure about which career you want, make a list of 5-10 you might like and then start researching them. Search online for "______ Careers" and start clicking. Don't neglect to add new jobs to your list as they come up, either. You may realize, for example, that becoming an actor has a high burden to entry, with low job security and uncertain hours. But being a Production Assistant, working on film sets, is much more manageable start and can lead to a variety of film careers.  Keep notes as you do research. Remember, this is supposed to be fun, so look for jobs that get your excited and thinking about the future. Have fun with this -- look for jobs that excite you, even if you can't exactly say why. Be sure to make notes about needed or recommended qualifications as you search. More often than not, the career you want is going to need some training, experience, or prior recommendations to get involved in. Never fear, however, if you feel a little under-qualified at the moment. The point is to see what you would theoretically need to do...

TL;DR in English: List your strengths, talents, and passions, even those not related to typical careers. Dive online into research about careers you're interested in. Take an honest look at your current qualifications. Do some volunteer, intern, or trial work periods in fields you enjoy. Ask other people what they like about their careers. Consider the mixture of work and free time you need to be happy. Consider the career you want if all of the hurdles were crossed, not the "easiest" one.

You can make many changes to your life and your overall outlook. Take some time to think about what would help you better manage your emotions. It is likely that finding a different way to respond in tough situations will be high on your list of priorities.  Once you have identified your triggers, you can work on finding more positive ways to respond to those triggers. For example, maybe you typically raise your voice when your child complains about eating broccoli for dinner. Next time this happens, actively choose to keep your tone neutral. Maybe you tend to burst into tears when you are criticized. When you feel the tears coming, choose to take deep breaths and voice your frustrations calmly instead. Small changes can make a big impact on your emotional health. Try altering your living space to make it a more calming place. For example, try buying some fresh flowers to put in your living room. Look at them and think calming thoughts when you are feeling stressed.  If your negative emotions stem from feeling out of control, try organizing your work space. Getting rid of clutter can make you feel on top of things. Try adding more light. Natural and artificial light can help ease anxiety. So open your curtains and add some higher wattage bulbs to your lamps. Staying physically fit can have positive benefits for your emotional health. Exercise can boost your mood and decrease stress, which can help you retain control of your emotions. Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week.  Choose an activity that you enjoy. If you've always wanted to learn to play tennis, take lessons or join a league for beginners. Add more B12 to your diet. This vitamin has been shown to improve emotional well being. Look for salmon, chicken, and lean beef to add to your dinners. There are multiple mental health benefits that come from writing in a journal. Writing down your experiences and your reactions can help you learn to identify your emotional triggers. It can also help you to see patterns in your reactions,...

TL;DR in English: Choose a different response. Change your environment. Be healthy. Keep a journal. Talk about your feelings. Cope with hormones. Handle weepiness.

The longer your hair is, the heavier it will be, which explains why long hair often lacks volume. Therefore, one of the fastest ways to add volume is to get a haircut. Some well-placed, expertly cut layers, or even a blunt-ended cut can immediately make hair lighter and fuller -- not to mention healthier looking.  Go to a hair stylist who you trust and who listens to exactly what you're asking for. A good, professional haircut will give more life to your hair than any product or styling method. Bring photos of your desired style so that you can show the stylist exactly what you want. For best results, look for photos of people who have a similar face shape and hair texture as yours. Well-placed highlights and lowlights can give the impression of depth and thickness to your hair, making it appear more voluminous than it actually is. Dark colors will also make your hair look thicker than lighter ones, so consider going a shade or two darker to give the illusion of volume. A professional color job or set of highlights will do much more for your hair than a home dye kit. This is due to the fact that trained hairdressers can mix different shades and tones to find a color that's just right for you, giving your hair an added dimension that just cannot be achieved out of a box. Hot rollers are an excellent way to add bounciness and volume to your hair, with a touch of pin-up girl glamour. If you're not looking for tight curls, don't worry -- bigger rollers will add volume and life, but won't give a huge amount of curl to hair. When using, make sure the rollers are heated to the correct temperature before putting them in.  Use the hot rollers on day old hair, if possible. Comb out any tangles to create a smooth base. Start with the front sections, rolling the the hair away from the face rather than underneath. Once all of the rollers are in, let them sit in the hair for 10 to 15 minutes or until they have cooled completely. Liberally apply hairspray all over your head before removing the rollers. Once out, use your...

Rinse 1 cup (225 g) of rice in a strainer with cool water. Turn the rice cooker on and let it cook until it turns off. Leave the rice in the rice cooker, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes.

If you want to know the date, use the phrase "¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy?" (coo-AHL ess lah FAY-chah day oy). This question means "What is today's date?" While there are other ways to ask for the same information, this is the most common. The day of the week can be just as important as the specific date, especially when planning future events. If you learn how to say the date in Spanish, it's also a good idea to know how to say the days of the week in case you're asked.  Sunday is domingo (doh-MEEN-goh). Monday is lunes (LOO-nays). Tuesday is martes (MAR-tays). Wednesday is miércoles (mee-AIR-coh-lays). Thursday is jueves (hoo-AY-bays). Friday is viernes (bee-AIR-nays). Saturday is sábado (SAH-bah-doh). In Spanish, unlike in English, the definite article el (meaning "the") is always used before a date or a word for the day of the week. While you may hear the plural los used, the word el when used with a date or day of the week can be considered singular or plural. For example, if someone asked you in Spanish what your favorite day of the week was, you could reply "el viernes" or "los viernes." This response could be translated either as "Friday" or "Fridays." If you want to know what day of the week it is, you'll usually ask "¿Qué día es hoy?" (kay DEE-ah ess oy). Be careful with this question, though, because it is sometimes interpreted as asking for the date. You can also drop the hoy from the end and simply ask "¿Qué día es?" The verb hacer means "to do" or "to make" in Spanish, but when it is accompanied by "que," it can be used as a time expression. One of the primary uses of this verb in Spanish is talking about actions that happened in the past.   Hacer + length of time + que (KAY) + the past tense conjugation of the verb describes an action that occurred at a particular point in time in the past. For example, you might say "Hace tres años que empecé a trabajar aquí" to mean "I started working here three years ago." To talk about a past action that continues into the present, use hacer with the present...

TL;DR in English: Ask what the date is. Learn the days of the week. Use el when talking about days or dates. Ask what day of the week it is. Use the verb hacer (HAH-say) in common time expressions. Include the word desde for "since. Learn other words to reference time.

Plain, white fabric will work the best for this. Dye is translucent, so the original color of the fabric will show through the dye. Fabric made from natural fibers will work the best. This method will create a simple band of color across the bottom of your fabric. How thick this band is depends on how deep you dip the fabric into the dye. Use a temperature setting suitable for the fabric you are using, and omit the fabric softener. Squeeze out the excess water (do not wring) until the fabric is still wet, but no longer dripping. Pre-washing the fabric is important, as it will remove any coatings that might prevent the dye from soaking in. Cover your work area with several sheets of newspaper, a trash bag, or a cheap, plastic tablecloth. Put on an old set of clothes you don't mind staining. Lastly, put on a pair of rubber gloves. Keep a window open or turn on a fan to ensure good ventilation. Dye can get pungent. A tub, bin, or bucket will all work just fine. Keep in mind that the dye will stain the plastic, so make sure it's not something you care about. Heat the water up to about 140°F (60°C) first, then pour it into the container. You will need about 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of water for every pound (453.5 grams) of fabric. You can use either liquid dye or powder dye. How much you use depends on how much fabric you are dyeing and how dark you want the color to be. In general, plan on using ½ cup (120 milliliters) of liquid dye or 1 box of powder dye for each pound (453.5 grams) of fabric.  Use twice the amount of dye if you want the color to be darker or deeper. If you are using bottled dye, shake the bottle first to mix the pigments inside. Each brand of dye is different, so you may not need to add either of these. Salt or vinegar is usually added to the dye bath to help the dye adhere better to the fabric. It would be a good idea to read the label on your bottle or box of dye first, however, as not all dyes require this. In general, you would:  Add 1 cup (300 grams) of salt if the fabric is cotton, linen,...

TL;DR in English: Choose your fabric. Wash the fabric, but do not dry it. Protect yourself and your workspace. Pour hot water in a large, plastic container. Stir the dye into the water. Add some salt or vinegar, if needed.

This will allow you to push the wreath out through the top of the window, and secure it to the top of the frame. The wreath will hang in front of the window. A double sash window would be ideal, but a double hung window may also work. Choose a 2 1⁄2-inch (6.4-centimeter) wide ribbon that matches your wreath, then cut it down to 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 m). Outdoor ribbon will be the best because you will be closing the window on it. If you can't find outdoor ribbon that you like, use a ribbon made from a sturdy material, such as velvet or grosgrain. Avoid delicate materials, such as sheer or lace. Coat the end of your ribbon with hot glue and place it against the back of your wreath. Make sure that the end of the ribbon is pointing towards the top/outer edge of the wreath, and that the rest of the ribbon is pointing towards the center. If you don't have hot glue, you can use a U-shaped florist's pin instead. Thread the ribbon through the middle of the wreath. Pull it up across the front and over the top. Do this step twice, stopping when you reach the top again. You can secure the ribbon to the front of the wreath with another drop of hot glue for additional security. If you have any ribbon leftover on the spool, you can tie it into a fancy bow, then hot glue it to the front of the wreath, right over the wrapped ribbon. You can also buy a pre-made matching bow from the store, and use that instead.  The ribbon and floral departments of arts and crafts stores often sell pre-made bows. Alternatively, you can place the bow at the bottom of the wreath. You only need to open the window wide enough to fit the wreath through—about 1 foot (30 cm) will be enough for most wreaths. Be sure to hold onto the ribbon tightly so that you don't drop the wreath. You are hanging the wreath on the outside of the window. If you want the wreath to be on the inside, you will need to get out a ladder, and work from the outside of your home. Pull down on the ribbon until the wreath is hanging where you want it to be. Push a thumbtack...

TL;DR in English: Ensure that your window can open from the top. Cut 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 m) of wide, outdoor ribbon. Hot glue one end of the ribbon around your wreath. Wrap the ribbon around the top of the wreath twice. Add a bow to the top of the wreath for a nicer finish, if desired. Open the window and push the wreath through it. Adjust the length of the ribbon, then pin it to the window frame. Close the window.

Use your hands to gently sift the rice so that every grain gets rinsed off. Keep doing this until the water runs clear. You may be able to cook more or less rice, but this may affect the cooking time. Simple rice cookers typically have an on/off switch, but fancier rice cookers may have multiple cooking options. In this case, you'll need to select the correct cooking option before it starts cooking the rice. Which cooking option you select depends on the type of rice cooker you have as well as the type of rice you are using: short, medium, or long grain. This allows the steam to escape from the cooker at a slower rate, resulting in fluffier rice. If you don't do this, the grains may appear mushy, sticky, or clumpy. Do not take the lid off. If you do, the steam will escape too fast and ruin the texture of the rice.

TL;DR in English:


Clean and condition your hair regularly. Brush your hair to eliminate tangles. Avoid excessive heat. Style hair with products made from natural ingredients.

The best bag for this is a thin, cheap, trashcan liner. It should be translucent or clear. Do not use a regular trash bag; it will be too heavy. You can also use a dry cleaning bag instead. If you do, make sure that it is the short kind used for shirts; be sure to tape the hole at the top of the bag. Do not use plastic grocery bags. They are too small and too heavy. Place the opening of the bag in front of a small fan. Make sure that there are no gaps. Turn the fan on. The bag should fill up like a balloon. If it does not fill up, it may have some holes. Find these holes and cover them with a piece of scotch tape. The day should be cool; the balloon will not fly well on a hot day. Make sure that there is no wind; even the slightest breeze will keep the balloon from flying. The best time to fly would be at dawn or dusk as the weather is the most still. Cold, winter days with high pressure are the best for flying. You can also fly your balloon inside. Make sure that there is a lot of space, and that there are no curtains or carpets inside. If the balloon lands close to one of those, you could start a fire. A great place to fly is in a garage or a school gym. You will be working with fire, so you want to be safe. If you are a child, make sure that you have an adult with you at all times.

TL;DR in English: Find a thin, plastic bag. Make sure that the bag does not have any holes by putting it in front of a small fan. Check the weather if you are planning on flying outside. Choose a large, empty room if you are planning on flying inside. Keep a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher near by.

Use vegetable or olive oil and lightly coat the outside of each potato. This will help keep the skin moist and smooth. You can put a few drops of oil directly onto the potato and rub it around with your hands.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C) and oil the outside of the potatoes.

Your host will want to serve the dinner hot and arriving late might delay the meal. As a general rule, you should try to arrive within 15 minutes of the requested start time. Do not show up too early. Your host may still be getting ready and it is a nuisance if someone shows up ahead of schedule.  If you arrive early walk around the block a few times or read in your car until the scheduled arrival time. If you are going to be tardy, text or call the host in advance and tell them your estimated arrival time. If you are going to be over an hour late, tell the host to begin the evening without you and apologize. If you are invited over to a friend's for dinner, you should always tell them about any food allergies or taste preferences in advance. Your friend would much rather plan their meal around your allergy, than feel guilty that you are unable to eat anything on the night of.  For instance, if you don't eat pork for religious reasons, or any type of meat on moral grounds, your should communicate this to the host in advance. You could also offer to bring something along to make it easier for your friend to accommodate your dietary needs. If you have been invited over to a friend’s house for dinner, never show up with an additional guest who was not invited. Instead, if you would like your new partner to accompany you to a dinner party, call the host in advance to make sure this is alright. In most cases, your friend will gladly lay out another table setting. Your clothes should make you feel comfortable and confident. Make sure you know the atmosphere and theme in advance. For example, arriving in shorts when the other guests are wearing tuxedos and evening dresses does not make a good impression and you will likely feel uncomfortable and out of place all evening. A great gift for the host can range from a bottle of wine, to a bouquet of flowers, to an edible treat, such as fresh jams or chocolates. A gift is a nice way to thank the host for having you over for dinner and signals your appreciation.  If you...

TL;DR in English: Arrive on time. Disclose food allergies or aversions well ahead of time. Don’t bring a plus-one without permission. Present yourself in a clean, well-dressed manner. Bring a small gift. Ignore your phone. Carry on polite conversation. Thank your host for a lovely evening.

Save time and energy by coming up with simple language to reuse for correspondence that you frequently repeat. Have several scripts available for different situations like emails, press releases, or phone calls, which you can copy, paste, and easily edit to suit the specific scenario. Jot down notes on your phone, laptop, or notepad for every meeting, phone message, or other important conversation. Place or move these notes into specifically labeled physical or electronic folders so that you can refer to them later and have records of verbal communication that you may forget in the course of a busy day. Practice your greeting and other important or common information you need to say over the phone. Have the list of phone extensions for your office right in front of you and work on committing them to memory so you can transfer calls quickly. Get to know the special features of your office phone, like sending someone straight to an employee’s voicemail or adding people into a conference call, so you can save time and avoid technical difficulties. Make sure that every form of written communication you send out is spell-checked and free of grammar and punctuation errors. Spend the extra few minutes to read over emails, agendas, and other correspondence to check that everything is correct and save the later time and embarrassment of having to issue corrections or answer emails from confused recipients. Turn on spell-check in the applications you use for documents, spreadsheets, and emails. Turn on this feature in your browser as well to catch any errors while typing on a webpage, especially when posting to the company’s website, social media accounts, or other official platforms. State your purpose for calling or emailing in as few words as possible. Ask direct questions and repeat your name, company, phone number, and email when needed. Provide a time by which you expect or hope to hear back from them so you can deal with communication efficiently. Make sure you’re on the same page and provide reminders by...

TL;DR in English: Stick to scripts. Be a meticulous note-taker. Be efficient and friendly on the phone. Check your grammar. Keep emails and voicemails short and sweet. Confirm appointments and times.

It is important to protect the royal jelly from light, so transfer the jelly from your collection container to a dark glass container right away. Use a pipette or small spatula to do this. Screw the lid shut tightly. This will help to prolong the shelf life of the jelly. Use freezer safe vials and leave about 0.5 in (1.3 cm) of space at the top of the vial if you plan to freeze the royal jelly. This will ensure that there is some extra space for the jelly to expand during the freezing process. After you have transferred the jelly to dark glass containers, place them into a refrigerator between 0 to 5 °C (32 to 41 °F). This will protect the royal jelly from spoiling for up to 18 months. Storing royal jelly at −17 °C (1 °F) or lower will prolong the shelf life even longer. If you want to ensure that your royal jelly will be viable for up to 24 months, then put the vials into a freezer to store them.  Make sure that you purchase freezer-safe vials if you want to freeze the royal jelly. After the royal jelly has thawed, it should be stored in a refrigerator for no more than 12 months.

TL;DR in English: Transfer the royal jelly into dark glass vials. Refrigerate the jelly for up to 18 months. Freeze jelly for up to 24 months.

Wash your hair thoroughly every time you bathe, or every other time, if you have especially dry or damaged hair. Shampoo first and rinse completely, then apply conditioner and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Work the lather into your scalp to wash away dirt and oil, and condition the shaft down to the tips. Use hair products that contain healthy vitamins, proteins and oils so that your hair will stay strong and healthy.  Washing your hair too much can also damage it. Your hair needs a light coating of natural oils, so consider only shampooing every other day (or even every two days for those with curly, frizzy hair) and use a little conditioner on the ends in the meantime.  Cleansing conditioners and natural shampoos that make use of essential oils can also get your hair clean without drying it out. Invest in a good soft-bristled brush or wide-toothed comb and use it often. Combing and brushing rids hair of pesky knots and tangles, which can cause damage if left untreated. If you want the kind of smooth, flowing, silky hair you see on your favorite celebrities, you should make frequent brushing a hair care priority.  Brush your hair before you shower to prevent it from being poofy once it dries. Choose a brush that works best for your hair type and the style you’re trying to achieve. Too much straightening, curling and blow drying robs your hair of its natural moisture and leads to breakage. Use these styling techniques sparingly, and make sure to protect your hair with heat-treatment products when you do. If you usually blow dry your hair, start using a medium or low heat setting instead of turning it on full blast. It will take longer, but you’ll have luxurious hair to show for it.  Use quick, smooth strokes when straightening, and low heat when curling, to minimize the damage that the heat does to your hair. Pulling your hair back too tight, wearing a hat all day or spending a lot of time in the sun can also be bad for your hair. Just like heat, the chemical agents in certain hair products can strip and...

TL;DR in English:


Clean yourself up. Dress well. Approach with confidence. Start a conversation. Respect her personal space.

Babies inherit genes from both the mother’s side and the father’s side to determine eye color. This means that the mother’s eye color will have a direct influence on the baby’s eye color, though they may not be the same. The first step to a good prediction is to note the eye color of the mother as one of the following:  Brown Blue Green Hazel Since only 50% of the genes determining eye color come from the mother, the father’s eye color should also be noted. Again, the baby’s eye color could be different from either or both parents, but knowing the parents’ eye colors gives you a starting point. Label the dad’s eye color as brown, blue, green or hazel. This is most helpful when the two grandparents from either side have different colored eyes. By comparing their eye colors, you can learn more about the genes that their children (including one of the baby’s parents) carry. Parents’ siblings can also shed light on the variety of genes in the family. When siblings have different eye colors, it can indicate that the parents carry two different genes for eye color (heterozygous) instead of two copies of the same gene (homozygous). This information can help determine whether the baby’s parents are heterozygous or homozygous, and increase the accuracy of your prediction.

TL;DR in English: Observe the color of the mother’s eyes. Factor in the father’s eye color. Know the eye colors of all 4 grandparents. Look at the eye color of both parents’ siblings.

If your beef is too lean, it won't cook up well as a burger. Avoid anything that's 90% or above, for instance. If you want to go a little leaner, 85/15 will work, but 80/20 is a better option. Try buying beef that's freshly ground at the butcher counter for the best quality. If you can, use a kitchen scale to quickly measure them out. Otherwise, estimate the patty size based on the amount of meat you have. For instance, if you have 1.5 pounds (0.68 kg) of meat, you can make about 4 portions. Cover the patties up, and let them chill. Chilling the patties helps them stay together better when you cook them, and the center won't cook as quickly. Don't leave the patties out at room temperature, as that can encourage bacteria to grow.

TL;DR in English: Buy good beef with a meat to fat ratio of 80/20. Make patties that are about 6 ounces (1.7 hg) apiece. Put the patties in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

One of the most common places for clothes to fold and crease is near your bottom and thighs when you sit. The fabric may get folded and permanently crease after you stand up.  For dresses or dress shirts, pull down slightly on the tail when you sit so you are sitting on it flat, as opposed to pressing wrinkles into it with your body. In the car, unbutton the bottom button of your shirt and lay it over the lap belt. This will help prevent creasing along the area where your seat belt rests. If you are in the habit of crossing your legs when you sit, be careful, as it will crease your pants. Just like when you sit, crossing your legs creates small folds in the fabric of your clothes that press down to create creases and wrinkles. Try sitting with your legs uncrossed on days you are avoiding creases. When you are sitting at a desk or table, if space permits, stretch your legs out and keep them outstretched. The more contact and pressure your clothing receives, the more it will crease. Try to let your clothing hang loose and not be pressed up against your body by your hands, folded arms, bags, or jacket for long periods of time. If you are at a party or other event where sitting is not required, stay standing. Sitting is mostly responsible for pant creases in the legs and the seat. If you are able to stand, you will minimize the opportunities for your trousers or dress to wrinkle.

TL;DR in English: Pull your clothes flat when you sit. Avoid crossing your legs. Don't put pressure on your clothes. Stand as much as possible.

At school try to get a seat where you can clearly hear and see the teacher and chalkboard and pay attention. A good goal to set for yourself is to try to get mostly A's in everything you do at school including homework. Take notes, study for that test, focus, but most of all come to school ready to learn and try not to worry about the social scene too much, after all, that's not what school is for.  Try to join extra curricular activities but only if you know it will not bring your grades down. Follow school rules. There's a reason why they've been set in place. By following rules, not only do you avoid getting in trouble, but troublemakers are often though less of, so you'll look like a better person. To be a perfectionist, you have to be a perfect student! i.e. Go to bed on time, offer to wash the dishes, bring in the groceries, teach your little brother how totie his shoes, etc. No matter how tempting it is, if you know there's something you should be doing (no matter how badly you don't want to do it), do it! Create a chore chart for yourself. Once you have organized your space, make a list of a few small chores to do each day to help you keep up with your organization. Girls should dress neatly and appropriately. Any style can work for a perfectionist, just remember to pay attention to detail.    Wearing quality, classic clothes is your best bet. Follow your school's dress code! For boys try to wear things such as t-shirts with checks, and fabric pants, and, just like the girls, wear items that look crisp and fresh and are well coordinated. And, no matter your gender, always follow your school's dress code. Remember to always be clean: run a comb through your hair, keep your nails dirt-free and neat, brush your teeth and bath/shower. When spraying perfume, be sure to use just enough, but not too much. Excessive use of perfume isn't attractive and does not improve your hygiene, despite popular belief. Never have greasy hair. Use dry shampoo, if you do not have time to wash it. Maintain your nails. Clear...

TL;DR in English: Do your best in school. At home, try your best to please your parents. Have good personal style. Have good hygiene.

First and foremost, you must not get in the middle of your parents' arguing. It’s understandable to want to stop it, but that’s not your job. They are both adults who will need to work out their issues between one another. If you think one of your parents is in danger, call a relative, a neighbor, or dial 9-1-1 or the emergency services in your area. To limit your involvement in the argument, go outside or some other place in your home. Leave the environment where your parents are fighting until things calm down. For instance, if a fight is brewing in the kitchen downstairs, go upstairs to your bedroom. If your parents start fighting during dinner, ask to be excused and go to another room. It can be tough to hear your parents shouting at one another or calling one another nasty names. Take your mind off the fight by calling your best pal. You might even let them know what’s going on at home and warn them that you might call whenever things become tense. You might choose to talk about the fight or discuss something completely different, such as a TV show or a school event. If you have a stereo in your bedroom, bump up the volume to drown out your parents' fighting. Be sure not to exaggerate this—keep the volume within a moderate level. Or, you might grab a pair of headphones and listen to music from your phone or tablet. If you have another adult family member, such as an aunt or uncle, you might call or text them to let them know about your parents fighting. Do this if you think the fighting is getting out of hand and are worried someone might get hurt. You might say something like, “Uncle Dan, it’s happening again and I don’t know what to do.”

TL;DR in English: Stay out of the argument. Get some distance. Call a friend. Listen to music. Tell another trusted adult.

First impressions make a difference. Good hygiene shows that you take care of yourself. Take a shower every morning. Wash your hair, put on deodorant, and possibly use a small amount of cologne or perfume. Bad odors, among other problems, are distracting and cause people to not want to be around you. When you use cologne or perfume, add only a small amount to your neck, chest, and shoulders. She should be able to smell it up close without it overwhelming her senses. Clothes and hairstyle are also factors in how people judge you. If your hair is long and greasy and you wear stained sweatpants, chances are the girl will think of you in a negative way, making her feel uncomfortable. Buy yourself clothes that flatter your figure. A style that looks unique on you without being too flashy will help her appreciate you. If you don’t feel comfortable, chances are she won’t feel comfortable either. Anytime you seek her out, display your best self. This means going up to her, maintaining eye contact, and speaking loudly and clearly. To do this, practice being natural. Look into a mirror as you speak, maintaining eye contact with yourself.  Even if you feel nervous around her, slow down. Breathe deeply, speak slowly, relax, and focus on her. Be your natural self.  If you’re going to be at the same place a girl is, such as school or a party, try getting to the place early. This gives you time to get accustomed to the environment before it becomes more crowded and busy. Avoid any bad habits that would make her uncomfortable, such as swearing, telling inappropriate jokes, or fidgeting. Start with small questions, such as “That’s a nice tattoo, what does it mean?” Avoid asking deep questions, as these are too personal too soon. Instead, let her answer and then add to the conversation, such as by talking about something a little personal such as your own tattoos. Everyone has boundaries about how physically close someone cannot be. Moving into this space too fast and being unwelcome is a sure way to make a girl feel...

Always check to be sure that the weapon is unloaded and that the safety is on. Keep your gun pointed toward the ground when you are not firing. You should also get in the habit of wearing earplugs and safety glasses when shooting. As you step up to the shooting block, breathe air deeply into your lungs and let it out in a smooth exhale. Repeat this a few more times until you feel any nervousness dissipate. You can do this every time before you call for the clays to be released. One leg should be placed a bit in front the other and slightly bent. Keep your rear leg as straight as possible. Bend a little at your waist, but not enough to be hunched over. You should feel as if you are angled just a tad bit forward, as if you are leaning into the shot. Maintaining this position for every shot will make it easier to manage your gun’s recoil. It will also let you stay flexible enough to track the clay bird in the sky. Since the clay bird will be moving across the sky, you’ll need to track it with both of your eyes. If you close one of your eyes, you’ll eventually lose sight of the target and miss your shot. However, be aware that one of your eyes will be more dominant than the other. This means that you may need to slightly squint the less dominant eye if you are consistently missing shots. Slowly and smoothly place the butt of the stock against your shoulder until it feels secure, but not painful. The more contact the butt of the stock has with your shoulder, the less you’ll feel the recoil. Use your hands to hold the gun firmly and adjust your shooting elbow until it is horizontal with the ground. Your cheek should rest solidly against the comb (top of the stock) of your gun. This will also help to minimize the recoil. If this is uncomfortable, try securing a towel or other padding to the comb. ” When you are comfortably in position, loudly and clearly call out “pull.” This will result in the release of a clay bird from the trap house located in the center of the target field. When the clay bird is released, move...

TL;DR in English: Follow basic safety practices. Take a deep, calming breath. Position yourself in a boxer’s stance. Use both eyes to track the bird. Hold your gun in position against your shoulder. Call out “pull. Track the target with your gun’s muzzle. Shoot ahead of the target.

When someone else takes the picture, you are more free to pose exactly the way you would like. Another set of eyes can also make sure the photo is staged well, and can offer feedback. A profile picture should focus on your face, but it can include more of your body if done correctly. For a simple, confident pose, stand with one hand positioned on a hip. Angle your elbow slightly backwards. If you do include more of your body in the picture, make sure that your face is still the focus, and that your features can be easily seen. Good posture is important, but standing perfectly straight can make you seem stiff and unnatural in a picture. Try tilting your body slightly to the side, and leaning your head slightly forward. This will make your body look more relaxed and proportional. Professional photographers talk about the “Rule of Thirds.” Imagine drawing two vertical lines that would divide the picture into three equal parts. Keep most of yourself on one of those lines, rather than directly in the middle of the picture.

TL;DR in English: Have someone else take the picture of you, if possible. Try taking a head and shoulders or head and torso shot. Angle your body. Position yourself slightly to one side or the other.

The key terms in the debate need to be explained and defined by the first speaker. Also, define key terms that the audience might not know very well.  Identify the key terms in your argument and look up their definitions in a range of dictionaries. Choose the most appropriate definition for each word. You want to pick a definition that is neutral and conventional. Your definitions can be literal, as well as contextualized. Contextualized definitions add examples of how the concept applies to the real world. For example, a contextualized definition of money would show that money is used to buy services, such as food and gas. After defining the key terms, you need to tell the audience what you and your group will be arguing and why. Reinforce your arguments by reiterating your position in various ways. For example, “My team and I will show you the need, practicality, and benefits of medicinal marijuana. Together we will show that thousands of patients, including young children, who suffer from seizures, find relief in medicinal marijuana. Studies show that medicinal marijuana reduces instances of seizures by 80%. Furthermore, the side effects of medicinal marijuana are not as severe as the side effects that come with conventional forms of medication used to treat seizures, particularly for children. We will show that medicinal marijuana is a practical, safe, and cost-effective solution for patients and their families.” Your team's argument should include a proposition on how to address the problem you are debating about. Debating teams do this by defining a policy they wish to enact. The first speaker should outline the core component of the policy, as opposed to a detailed explanation of it.  In order to demonstrate that your team's policy will work, use policies that have already been enacted as the basis of your policy. For example, you can highlight that a ban on using cellphones while driving is similar to the ban on drinking while driving. Try to focus on three important reasons for why the policy is...

TL;DR in English: Establish definitions. Summarize your position’s case. Define a policy.

Because of harsh weather conditions such as tropical storms and hurricanes, you should always begin by choosing and planting a strong central trunk which the branches will come off.  To develop a medium-sized, strong and wind-resistant tree, the central leader system provides well-spaced and widely-angled limbs.  You always want to avoid a multi-leader tree where trunks and branches are competing for space and sunlight. This is to ensure that you get buds that are well spaced out.  Avoiding a condition called “witch’s broom” which is where buds grow too close together near the top of the central trunk.  When the growth begins in the spring, the branches will be distributed wider, allowing for more sunlight and water retention. Using pegs as an easy way to mark which branches you do not wish to remove, prune the remaining under branches from the leader trunk to encourage the central leader trunk to grow.  You don’t want competition from other lower branches. You can leave remaining growth on the base as long as it is not upright-growing. The pruning site may weep more when the tree is pruned while actively growing, but it does not cause any harm.  Paint wound sites facing the sun with white latex paint to keep the tissue cooler and allow the tree to heal more quickly.  Other than that, do not apply any other sealer to the wound.

TL;DR in English: Choose a strong central trunk for a stable tree. Cut off about the top third of your leader trunk on a regular basis. Decide which of the under branches to prune at any one time. Seal the wounds to help the tree heal quickly.

Trace the top of a flower pot on a sheet of 1½-inch (3.81-centimeter) thick foam. Cut it out just inside the line that you drew. Wedge the foam disk into the pot, ¾ inch (1.91 centimeter) from edge.  If you'd like to paint your flower pot, do it before adding the foam disk. If the disk is very loose, secure it with some glue around the edges. Press down on the eggs as you roll them. This will help you create a pill or capsule shape, and make it more cactus-like. If you can't find any Styrofoam eggs, you can buy some Styrofoam balls, and saw down the sides instead.  For a more natural-looking cactus, try to use small, medium, and large eggs. For a small, simple cactus, use just one egg. Insert 1 to 2 toothpicks into the narrower end of each egg. Press the toothpick end of one egg into the side of another egg. Keep doing this until you have assembled your cactus. The toothpicks will act as anchors and help keep your cactus together.  Put the smaller eggs on top, and the largest one at the bottom. Avoid making your cactus too big, especially if you are using a small flower pot. Insert two toothpicks into the bottom of your cactus. Coat the disk with a layer of glue, and press the cactus into it. Mix 1 cup (100 grams) of all-purpose flour and 1 cup (240 milliliters) of cold water in a bowl. Consider adding 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 grams) of salt to prevent mold. Stir everything together with a spoon. You can also make papier mâché glue by mixing equal parts of white school glue and water. Gather some soft paper, such as newspaper or newsprint. Tear it into different sized strips, about ½ to 1 inch (1.27 to 2.54 centimeters) wide and 2 to 3 inches (5.08 to 7.62 centimeters) long. It might be tempting to cut the paper, but tearing it is actually much better because it allows the paper to blend together more smoothly. Dip your first strip of paper into the glue, and run it along the edge of the bowl or between the prongs of a fork. Press the paper against the cactus, and smooth it out with your fingers. Keep...

TL;DR in English: Cut a disk out of Styrofoam, and wedge it into a flower pot. Roll several Styrofoam eggs across a table to flatten the sides. Assemble your cactus. Attach the cactus to the pot. Prepare your papier mâché glue. Prepare your papier mâché strips. Cover the cactus with two layers of papier mâché. Insert toothpicks into the cactus the make the spikes. Let the cactus dry completely. Paint the cactus, then let the paint dry. Add some tissue paper flowers, if desired. Add some sand, pebbles, or rice to the flower pot, if desired. Finished.

Aloe vera is a versatile remedy that helps reduce both the swelling and the burning sensation resulting from a swollen lip.  After the cold compress therapy (see the step above), apply aloe vera gel over the fat lip. Reapply as often as needed throughout the day. Black tea contains compounds (tannins) that help reduce swelling in the lip.  Prepare black tea and cool it. Dip in cotton ball and place over the fat lip for 10 to 15 minutes. You can repeat the treatment a few times a day for quick results. Honey acts as a natural healer as well as an antibacterial and can be used to treat a swollen lip in addition to many other remedies.  Apply honey over the fat lip and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse it off and repeat a few times a day as needed. Turmeric powder works as an antiseptic and has healing properties. You can easily make a paste with this powder and apply over the lip.  Mix turmeric powder with fuller’s earth and water and make a paste. Apply over the fat lip and let it dry. Wash off with water and repeat as needed. Baking soda can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with the fat lip and can also help reduce  swelling.  Mix baking soda with water to make a paste. Apply over the fat lip for a few minutes, then wash off. Repeat as needed until the swelling is gone. Salt water can be used to reduce swelling and, if the fat lip was associated with a cut, to kill bacteria that might otherwise cause an infection.  Dissolve salt in warm water. Soak a cotton ball or a towel in the salt water and place over the fat lip. If there is a cut, there may be a burning sensation but this should go away after a few seconds.

This stretch is very useful at loosening up your groin and inner thigh muscles, which are crucial to executing a Chinese split.  Sit on the floor with your back straight.  Bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together in front of you.  Slowly pull your heels in towards your groin. Try to get your heels as close to you as you comfortably can, and keep your hands gripping your ankles.  Gently flex your knees down until they are touching the floor, or as close to the floor as you can comfortably get them. You can use your elbows to push your knees downward.  While exhaling, bend forward at the waist, and try to get your chest as close to the floor as possible. Hold the position for 20 seconds, then release it. This yoga position will help you stretch and loosen the muscles in your groin, calves, and quads, all major muscle groups needed to do a Chinese split.  Begin by lying flat on your back. As you exhale, pull your knees up towards your stomach.  While holding the outsides of each foot in your hands, open your knees just past the width of your abdomen, and pull your knees towards your armpits.  Try to keep your shins perpendicular to the floor. Hold the position for as long as you comfortably can (around 10 to 30 seconds should be sufficient), then release the pose. This yoga pose might be one of the best stretches to prepare your body for doing Chinese splits. Take it slow, though, as this position may be strenuous for first-time practitioners.  Begin by entering a staff pose. Sit on the floor with your back straight and your legs fully extended in front of you, with the insides of your feet touching.  Spread both legs outward. Try to form both legs into 90 degree angles with your hips. Slide your bottom slightly forward while keeping your legs spread to help push your legs as wide as you can comfortably spread them.  While keeping your knee caps pointed upward, stretch your hands forward between your legs as far as you can go without bending at the waist.  Hold the pose for around one minute, or...

TL;DR in English: Do a butterfly stretch. Practice the Happy Baby pose. Do a wide-angle seated forward bend.

Trimming scissors have a rounded tip designed specifically for safety when trimming hair in sensitive places, such as noses and ears. Facial hair trimming scissors can be found at most major retailers in the cosmetic section. Good lighting helps you see the lighter hairs that may be sticking out of your nose, while the mirror helps you effectively groom the hairs. Even though the scissors have a rounded tip, you need to pay close attention to where you are sticking them. Watch your hand and the scissors closely. Never shove the trimming scissors into your nose, because you can do a lot of damage to your nose by puncturing something. Before inserting the scissors into your nose, make sure the scissors have been cleaned. Just remove the hairs that affect appearance - those sticking out around your nose. The hairs further inside your nose need to remain there to help keep harmful pollutants from your body. Removing nose hair completely could have negative side effects.  Make sure your scissors aren't dull. Dull scissors will have a harder time cutting some hairs, and they might even pull out hairs, causing pain and eye watering. Push your nose straight up to get a better view inside your nostrils. Also try smiling. Both of these methods might reveal additional peeking hairs. Wipe the scissors with antiseptic before you put them away.

TL;DR in English: Use special trimming scissors. Always trim your nose hairs in front of a well-lit mirror. Gently insert the scissors into your nasal canal. Clip the long hairs carefully. Sterilize the scissors when you are finished.

Think about a few things that scare you or make you nervous. Write them down on a list, and put a star next to the one you want to start with. You can tackle the others later. Your list may include things like: “Go skydiving, read Moby Dick, write a short story, go on a blind date.” Come up with a reason (or a few) that you want to tackle this obstacle. Ask yourself what you're going to get out this new experience. Once you have your answer, write it down on a piece of paper and keep it with you. This can be a little phrase you repeat to yourself every time you're thinking about backing down. If you're going on a blind date, for example, you might tell yourself: “I've gone on lots of dates I set up myself, and I haven't met someone I can picture myself with long term. This could be my chance!” Doing something new on your own can make it even more challenging. There's no reason you can't rely on friends or family to help you get out of your comfort zone! Pick someone who's naturally adventurous to be your partner in trying new experiences. Your partner-in-crime should be aware of what you are doing and want to go along with it, too. You might be shying away from trying this new activity because you feel like you're facing a big question mark. To answer all your lingering questions, go online and read about it. Look for reputable information that can help you feel more knowledgeable and prepared.  Try for .gov, .org, or .edu websites when you can. Otherwise, be sure to avoid sites with misspellings or formatting problems. The internet can sometimes be overwhelming. While it's a great idea to be more informed, don't dig so deep that you start scaring yourself with scenarios that are unlikely to happen to you. For example, perhaps you're thinking about moving to a New York City for a promotion, but you've never lived in a city before. Read everything you can about New York to learn how to live there safely and happily. You can find the best neighborhoods for your personality and needs, and get excited about all...

Before selecting vintage pieces to add to your wardrobe, think about the style elements that you look for in clothing and accessories. While dressing in vintage clothing lets you expand your fashion horizons and experiment with different styles, you still want to look and feel like you. If you don’t feel comfortable and confident in your vintage finds, likely, you won’t end up wearing them.   Working out your fashion style will help you select vintage pieces that you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe. When shopping for vintage, consider what you already own and how well each vintage piece will fit into your current wardrobe. Try looking at different styles on Pinterest and fashion blogs to help you identify what style elements match your aesthetic. This can give you ideas about what to look for when you are shopping for vintage pieces. If you want to avoid looking like you are wearing a costume, select vintage pieces in classic cuts that never go out of style. These pieces come in timeless shapes and colors that you can seamlessly incorporate into your wardrobe for years to come. For example, while fashion trends come and go, a classic vintage black shift dress, a statement-making vintage leopard swing coat, or a silk floral or neutral-shade tie-neck blouse will always be in style. When selecting vintage pieces, first check the tag to see what materials were used to make the item. Higher quality materials, such as cotton, silk, and wool, can withstand several cleanings and hold up well over time. While synthetic materials are fine for a statement-making piece or for special occasions, avoid synthetic materials if you plan on incorporating your vintage finds into your daily wardrobe.  If you find a vintage piece that no longer has a tag, there are a few tricks you can use to assess the quality. The easiest way is to feel the fabric by rubbing it gently between your pointer finger and thumb. If the material feels sturdy yet soft to the touch, it is likely of higher quality.  You can also compare the...

TL;DR in English: Choose pieces that reflect your personal style. Look for vintage pieces in classic styles. Focus on finding vintage items made of high-quality materials. Look for trendy vintage items. Learn the basics of vintage styles.

If you parents are nervous about you having a party, invite them to be at the party. They will probably feel a lot more comfortable about a party that they can oversee.  If you are old enough where alcohol and drugs is a concern, offer to make sure to tell your friends that there will be no drugs or alcohol at the party. Say something like, “You guys can chaperone the party so you feel more comfortable and to make sure everyone is being safe.” Letting your parents be involved in the planning of the party will make them feel more comfortable about it. Let them help plan food and decorations so they know what to expect for the party.  Let them help you decide where you should have the party. Go shopping with your parents for food and decorations. Let them help you make the invitations or Facebook event for the party. Tell them who and how many people you want to invite. If they are uncomfortable with the guest list, try to come to a compromise. If you want to have a boy-girl party, but they won’t allow it, you can try to convince them to change their mind.  Try saying something like, “I have friends who are boys and girls. I want to be able to invite boys so that I can spend time with all my friends on my birthday.” Offer for them to meet guests beforehand so they feel more comfortable. When the party is over make sure to clean it up. If you leave a mess, your parents are not likely going to let you have any more parties in the future. Make sure your house is spotless after the party is over so it looks like there was never a party. When the party is over thank them for letting you have it.  Take responsibility for anything that went wrong and let them know that it will not happen again. This will let them know that you are interested in keeping any future parties to their expectations. For example, “Thank you so much for letting me have this party. I am very sorry that Kyle spilled soda on the carpet. Next time I will make sure everyone is more careful.”

TL;DR in English: Invite your parents to chaperone. Allow your parents to be involved in the planning. Discuss the guest list with them. Clean up after the party. Talk to and thank your parents after the party.

Try to locate your study space in an area that suits you. If you need dead silence, find a tucked away corner, an attic, a basement, a spare bedroom, whatever you can find.  If you prefer some sound, locate it near (but not within) an area of more activity. If the location can’t always be your dedicated study space, let others know when it is being used as such. Go ahead and make a “Do Not Disturb,” “Quiet, please,” or “Hey, knock it off -- I’m studying here!” sign to post, depending on your personality. Adorning your study space with posters, signs, and photos that are important to you may help give you that boost to keep going. Just make sure they don’t become distractions rather than motivators.  Figure out what kind of motivation works for you.  A picture of your family or a beloved pet?  A poster of the car you hope to get after you pass these exams and graduate?  Copies of your earlier exams in chemistry with poor scores that you are determined to improve upon?  Determine whether you need more of a “push” or a “pull” (or a carrot or stick, if you prefer) to keep you motivated.     Decorating the space also identifies it as yours, even if only temporarily, as in the case of a dining room table or shared space. Bring along a few motivating mementos for your study time that can be easily packed up when you’re finished. If you can add color to your study space, keep in mind that cool colors like blue, purple, and green tend to inspire feelings of peace and balance, while warmer colors like red, yellow, and orange tend to inspire activity and even restlessness.  So, if you tend to get overly anxious for upcoming exams, consider going with a cool color palate for your décor; if you need a kick in the pants while trying to study, go warmer. Don’t shortchange your other senses, though. Some scents, like lemon, lavender, jasmine, rosemary, cinnamon, and peppermint, seem to boost mood and productivity in some people.  Try out different scented candles and essential oils.  While white noise, rain sounds, or...

TL;DR in English: Make it yours. Decorate to motivate. Appeal to your senses. Don't go overboard.

Choose a bowl that is a little bit larger than you think it needs to be. This will make mixing the pasta and sauce a lot easier. It will help prevent any bits of pasta from escaping. You will be adding the rest of the sauce later. It is easier to mix in small amounts of sauce at a time. Use a large spoon or spatula. Try to use a rolling motion, where you bring the pasta from the bottom of the bowl to the top. Use that same rolling motion as before, where you scooped the pasta from the bottom of the bowl to the top. At this point, you can add in some extras to give your pasta some extra flavor. What ever you choose to add in should already be cooked and cut into small, bite-sized pieces (or smaller). Here are some ideas for popular add-ins:  Bacon or ham Broccoli Cauliflower Mushrooms and onions Peas and carrots Peppers This sort of dish is best served warm. The longer it sits, the more greasy and oily it will become.
