Work on being kind to yourself. Self love can be difficult when you're in an environment that tears you down. Maybe you can't feel love for yourself right away. So until then, make loving choices for yourself. With time and patience, you can start learning to love yourself. Here are some little ways to show self love:...
Start identifying any toxic beliefs and behaviors caused by bad parenting. Mean parents can mess up your thoughts. You may feel worthless or powerless. Take negative feelings about yourself and challenge them. Start working on believing things like: I have a right to an opinion. My life has value. I'm allowed to make...
Try reading books about hypercritical and abusive people. These books can help you better understand what you're going through, and how to heal. They may also help you feel less alone. "Will I Ever Be Good Enough" by Karyl McBride "Why Does He Do That?" by Lundy Bancroft "Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legac...
The services were minor and it didn’t take very long. The average dog grooming session takes about 2 hours, but if you just took your dog in for a quick trim and nail filing and the groomer is done in 15 minutes, don’t sweat a big tip. A tip will still 100% be appreciated, but your groomer will likely understand if you...
Tip is included in the bill for the grooming. This isn’t especially common in the dog grooming business, but some salons and grooming boutiques will include a service charge in the overall bill. If your groomer explains that there’s a service fee or tip built into the total price, don’t worry about tipping.
The groomer really screwed up. Did you ask for a light trim and they basically shaved your poor pup? Your dog limping because the groomer nicked two of their nails down to the quick? If the dog groomer obviously botched the job or they were downright neglectful, it’s perfectly reasonable to forego the tip. You may sti...
It’s best not to draw unwanted attention to yourself at work. A wink from a coworker could be flirty, but it’s probably just a way of saying “I’ve got you covered” or “don’t worry, I’ll handle this problem.” It might even just be a playful way of showing you he’s bored during a meeting too! If you’re friendly with your...

Wash your hands regularly. One of the most important means to control sepsis is regular hand washing. If you wash your hands throughout the day, especially after handling food or going to the bathroom, you can greatly reduce your risk of infection. Avoiding infection in the first place means you can avoid sepsis. To st...
Clean all wounds quickly, even minor cuts. Sepsis starts with an infection that eventually gets into your bloodstream, so clean all wounds thoroughly. This can prevent an infection from occurring. Even minor cuts should be cleaned as this reduces your risk of sepsis. Wash your hands before cleaning the wound, then cle...
Talk to your doctor about potential vaccinations. If you are elderly or immunosuppressed, you are more prone to sepsis. It may be a good idea to talk to a medical professional about potential immunizations against certain diseases. Potential vaccinations include vaccines against the flu, pneumonia, and varicella-zost...
Guard against infections in a hospital. You are at an increased risk for infections and sepsis in a hospital setting. If you're going to be in a hospital for a long time, take measures to protect yourself from infection. Talk to your doctor about how to prevent infections, and let them know if you have any health cond...
Take steps in your day-to-day life to avoid infections. Sepsis starts as a simple infection. A good way to avoid sepsis is to avoid infections altogether. In your daily life, try to avoid infections. Be safe when preparing your food. Keep kitchen counters clean, and always wash them thoroughly after handling raw foods...

Consider selling your car to a dealership or junkyard. The most convenient method of disposing of a totaled car is letting your insurance company handle its sale. If you’re knowledgeable about car parts, though, and think you can make more off the car than your insurance company is offering, or if the car is old and ...
Obtain a salvage certificate for the vehicle. Once a vehicle has been determined a total loss, it requires documentation—usually called a salvage certificate—that effectively records its damage and history as a totaled car. You can obtain this salvage certificate by going to your local motor vehicle agency and askin...
Take your car to a dealership. With your salvage certificate in hand, you can sell your totaled car to a private party or company. A car dealership is the first place to try when doing this, as many dealerships will pay cash for salvaged vehicles in order to make repairs, auction it off, or dismantle and sell it for...
Contact junkyards in your area for offers. If you don’t get any bites from car dealerships, check with local junkyards to find out how much they’ll pay for your salvage vehicle. Just don’t snap up the very first offer, as different yards will offer different prices depending on their needs, abilities, and expertise....
Arrange for the junkyard to take possession of your vehicle. Depending on whether or not your car still runs, you can either drive your car to the junkyard, have someone pick it up, or have it towed by the junkyard. Just be sure to find out ahead of time whether or not the junkyard charges a fee for pick-up or towin...
Sign over the title of your car to the junkyard. Once you’ve received cash or a check from the junkyard, you’ll sign over the title or salvage certificate to its new owner. If you don’t have the vehicle’s title, you can probably still sell the car, but you should let the junkyard know ahead of time that you don’t ha...
Check with your local motor vehicle agency to follow up with the sale. Depending on where you live, you might need to finalize the transaction with further documentation. In some places, for example, you’ll need to relinquish the license plates and cancel your vehicle’s registration. If you live in the U.S., you’ll ...
Make sure your partner gives their consent. Consent should be clear and enthusiastic. If they seem uncomfortable or aren't sure about having sex, don't try to pressure them. Respect their decision if the answer is no, and don't ask for an explanation. They might want to kiss or touch, but that doesn't mean they want to...
Try to bring up sexual health before you get physical. Talking about STIs in the moment can ruin the mood, but it's a necessary conversation. Ask your partner if they've been tested within the last 6 months, and inform them about your sexual health in advance. It's best to talk about sexual health when you and your pa...
Ask what kind of protection they prefer to use. Always practice safe sex, even if you and your partner have been screened and tested negative for STIs. If you don't have protection on hand, say, “This is really hot, and as much as I hate to stop, we should cool things off until we have a condom/dental dam.” Talking ab...
Rinse off the celery and chop it into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Give the celery stalks a quick rinse to remove any dirt and debris, then place them on a cutting board and pat them dry. Use a sharp knife to chop off the tops and the roots of the stalks. Discard those, and chop the remaining stalks into roughly bite-size p...
Put the celery in a medium saucepan and cover it with water. Transfer the chopped celery to a saucepan and add just enough water to cover the pieces completely. Try to arrange the pieces in a single layer, but it’s okay if they overlap a little, as long as they’re fully submerged in water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Set the saucepan on a stove burner and turn the heat to high. Let the water come to a rolling boil, which will probably take 5-10 minutes, depending on how much water you’re boiling. You'll know the water is at a rolling boil when you can stir it and it doesn't stop bubbling.
Lower the heat and simmer the celery for 10-15 minutes. After you turn down the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the celery simmer in the water until it becomes tender, which usually takes 10-15 minutes.
Drain the celery and serve it immediately. Remove the pan from the heat. Place a colander in your sink and pour the contents of the saucepan into it. Allow the water to drain completely. Then, season the celery with your favorite spices and serve it warm. Salt, pepper, butter, and a little sugar are popular options, b...

Thread the twine through one of the buttons and the needle. Insert the twine through one of the buttons and then center the button in the middle of the twine strand. Tie a knot to secure the button in place. Then, thread the twine through your upholstery needle.
Insert the needle through the first mark. Next, insert the threaded needle into your first mark in the cushion. Push the needle in enough so that it goes through about ¼” (0.6 cm) of cushion fabric. This will help to ensure that your button will be secure.
Bring the needle back out of the cushion fabric. Then, bring the needle back up and out of the fabric. Pull until the thread is taut. Make sure to pull the thread taut after every time you bring it up and out of the fabric.
Stitch in and out of the cushion. To ensure that the button is secure, stitch in and out of fabric a few times. Make sure to make one pass through each hole in the button. If your button has multiple holes in it, then you will need to thread the needle through all of the button holes.
Tie off the twine. After you have secured the button with the twine, cut the needle off of the twine and then tie a knot. Tie the ends of the twine together to secure the button.
Add a dab of fabric glue to secure the knot. To ensure that the knot does not come undone, add a dab of fabric glue to the knot in the twine. Allow the glue to dry completely before touching it.
Look for a Visa or Mastercard logo on your debit card. If your bank provides you with a card that has a Visa or Mastercard logo, it should work with Uber even if it is not an actual credit card.
Get a prepaid debit card with a Visa or Mastercard logo. If you do not have a bank-issued debit card, you may be able to use a Visa or Mastercard-branded prepaid debit card. There are many varieties of prepaid cards available in different locations. Check a reputable department store (like Target or Walmart) or pharma...
Call the card’s issuing bank if you receive an error.

Pour unfiltered honey through a 300 micron filter. Honey that you buy in the store is almost always filtered already. However, if you bottle your own honey or you bought it from a local farmer, it may be “raw” or unfiltered. Put a 300 micron filter over the top of a glass jar, and pour your honey through it. The filter...
Keep honey in a sealed glass jar, instead of plastic. Plastic lets in more moisture, which leads to crystallization. If you’re bottling your own honey, put it into a glass jar and seal it tightly. If you bought honey in a plastic container, consider moving the honey into a glass jar. Your glass jar should be clean and...
Store your honey in a cabinet at room temperature. Cool temperatures accelerate honey crystallization, so don’t keep your honey in the refrigerator or in a chilly basement. Temperatures below 50 °F (10 °C) will make your honey crystallize faster. Don’t store the honey at a temperature above 81 °F (27 °C), because that...
Buy varieties of honey that crystallize more slowly. Honey that's high in glucose will crystallize more quickly than honey that's high in fructose. In some stores or farmer’s markets, you can buy honey that is made from particular flowers that are higher in glucose, instead of just generic honey. If you have a choice,...
Eat your honey within a month or so. If you want to avoid crystallization, the easiest thing to do is to just eat your honey before it crystallizes. Depending on the type of honey and the storage conditions, your honey may crystallize more quickly or more slowly, but usually it should stay liquid for a few weeks or mo...
Watch for physical signs of allergies. Hamsters are fairly hearty animals; however, it is possible for them to develop allergies. Typically these allergies are related to food, bedding, or other environmental allergens. To diagnose an allergy in your hamster, watch for physical signs such as: Excessive scratching that ...
Notice if any environmental changes have occurred. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction in your hamster, you should try to locate the cause of the allergy. Have you made any recent changes to their food, bedding, or environment? These types of changes are likely the cause of the allergy. You should also con...
Monitor your hamster closely when changing their environment. When you make changes to your hamster's environment, it is important that you monitor the hamster closely for signs of allergy. The sooner you find and remove the source of the allergy, the faster the hamster will recover.
Select a light yarn in any color and size 6 US (4.0 mm) needles. Determine what color yarn you want to make the blossom; think about what colors look nice together. Choose a yarn that's light worsted weight. You'll also need to get out a pair of single pointed needles. Light worsted weight is sometimes labled as #3 wei...
Cast on 51 stitches. Make a slipknot using the yarn you chose and slide it onto one of your needles. Hold the needle in your non-dominant hand. Then cast on 51 stitches to make the foundation of your blossom. This will make a blossom that's 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter. If you'd like to make a blossom that's smaller ...
Make 4 rows of stockinette stitch. To knit the 4 rows in this pattern, you'll need to knit every stitch for the first row. Then purl every stitch for the second row. Knit every stitch of the third row and finish by purling every stitch for the fourth row. The pattern will look like this: 1: Knit all 2: Purl all 3: Kni...
Knit 1 and bind off 9 stitches across row 5. To begin shaping the petals of the blossom, knit the first stitch of row 5. Then bind off the following 9 stitches. You should now see just 2 stitches on your left needle separated by a gap where you bound off the 9 stitches. Continue to K1, BO 9 across the row. Once you re...
Cut a long yarn tail and sew through the 6 stitches on your needle. Pull about 18 inches (46 cm) of the working yarn and cut it to make a long tail. Thread the tail through a tapestry needle and insert it through each of the loops on the needle. Slide the stitches off as you go.
Pull the yarn tail through the stitches to gather the blossom. Once you've sewn through each of the stitches and you don't have any more on your needle, pull all of the yarn tail until it begins to cinch the center of the flower together. The knitted piece should now be circular like a blossom. You should see a decora...
Whipstitch the sides and petals. Ensure that the yarn tail is still threaded onto the tapestry needle and use it to sew the sides of the blossom together so they're flush. Then whipstitch between each petal down towards the center of the blossom. Remember to leave a long yarn tail once you finish so you can attach the...

Train your tree the way you want it to grow. To produce a good crop, your trees need ample sunlight. Allow the upper branches to spread so they take in as much sunlight as possible. Your major pruning to upper branches comes during the first 10 to 15 years of the pecan tree’s life.
Ensure each tree has a single vertical trunk. This is essential for quality growth. When it comes to training a young tree through pruning, you can decide what shape you would prefer the tree to grow into. For example, this could be a standard ‘vase’ shape where the main trunk splits into three trunks. It will take se...
Prune your tree’s lowest limbs to just above your head to ensure easy access. As the trees grow, you will need access to the ground beneath your tree to water, fertilise, weed, and harvest pecans. Your goal is to walk underneath your tree without scraping your face. You will also need room for the mechanical equipment...
Remove dead upper branches. Sometimes upper branches will die because of wind damage, freeze damage, disease and improper care. This is where your tree saw and lopper will come in handy. Remove these as soon as you notice them to stop the cause of death spreading.
Place your thumb parallel to the strings near the end of the fretboard. This is the area of the strings directly above the area where the neck of the bass meets the body. Striking the strings with your thumb in this particular area will allow for maximum string-reverberation off the fretboard, thus producing the greate...
Strike an open string with the bony part of your extended thumb. Combine the rotate-and-flick motion in order to play an open slap note on the bass. While you rotate your wrist, try to hit the string with the bony part of your thumb, as this will allow for the fullest sound. An open string refers to a string played wi...
Rebound your thumb away from the string after every hit. Once your thumb makes contact with the string, complete your wrist rotation to pull your thumb away from the string. Keeping your thumb on the string after you play a note will prevent the string from slapping against the fret board, which will cut off the slap ...
Keep slapping open strings until you create a consistent slap sound. This basic playing motion in your wrist and thumb will be the mainspring for slap bass licks. Therefore, it’s important to feel comfortable with the form and technique with your thumb against open notes before you move on to more complicated techniqu...
Consider dying your hair blonde. Now, Marilyn Monroe herself was not a natural blonde. Though you don't have to change your color or believe that “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” you can do this if you're really committed to the Marilyn look. Aim for golden blonde locks before you style your hair the Marilyn way. Though her...
Get the hairdo. If you really want to have hair like Marilyn's, then you should get a layered, shoulder length cut, with shorter layers in the front and longer layers in the back. Once you've got this look down, you can give your hair extra volume by combing some gel into it while it's damp and then blow-drying it dry...
Have nearly-flawless skin. Marilyn's makeup artist, Whitney Snyder, claims that Marilyn often wore thick layers of Vaseline on her face to both soften her skin and give it a glow. Though this is a bit extreme and can lead to dry skin, she was also said to wash her face up to fifteen times a day, in order to avoid gett...
Get the lipstick. To get the Marilyn Monroe signature lips, you should apply several coats of crimson or red lipstick to your lips. The closest lipstick color to the shade that Marilyn Monroe used available today is Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick, #522. Sometimes she wore a darker red shade, while other times she opted f...
Get eyes like Marilyn. If you want to get those gorgeous Marilyn Monroe eyes, then you need to apply three shades of eyeshadow to your eyes. Apply one darker shade in the crease of your eye, a lighter one over your lids, and then a very light shade above the lid-crease and to the brow. She often used a light blue or a...
Get the Marilyn brows. Marilyn Monroe's eyebrows have a high, dramatic arch and are set fairly far apart on her face. Her brows are pretty thin, though they are a bit thicker closer to her nose, thinning out a bit after the arch, which falls just above the outsides of both of her eyes. Use tweezers to get the dramatic...
Get the fake beauty mark. Marilyn Monroe is known for her gorgeous beauty mark, located a few inches above the left end of her lips. You can use a brown eyeliner to pencil it in. Though you can also buy a fake beauty mark, you're better off drawing it on yourself. Just take care not to wipe it off and check on your fa...
Get the Marilyn nail polish. Marilyn was often seen wearing nail polish that matched her red lips. Apply red nail polish to those nails, making sure you pick a shade that is as close as possible to the color of your lips. You can opt for fake nails or work to develop longer, smooth nails to rock her look.
Wear Chanel No. 5 perfume. This was said to be her favorite perfume. She once said, “What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.” She was also said to enjoy Fracas and Joy perfumes.
Remove any existing loose or blown insulation in the attic. Use a builder's vacuum to get all of the small pieces cleaned out of the area. You might consider renting a commercial air purifier for the duration of the project to minimize the possibility of inhaling the tiny insulation strands, which can be hazardous.
Lay a sub-floor, if necessary. Most attics will need a sub-floor to be laid that you can build on top of. Cut sub-floor panels to the appropriate size and install them over the joist beams. Screw down into joists at 3 foot (0.91 m) (91.44 cm) intervals using wood screws. Depending on your plan, you may want to also ad...
Wire the attic for electricity. Install the electrical wiring across the ceiling to the designated spots where the light fixtures will be hung, leaving an 8 inch (20.32 cm) wire hanging (called a lighting pigtail) to connect the light fixtures. Run the electrical wire to the electrical outlets. As a rule of thumb ther...
Install new rolled insulation between the wall studs. Cut each strip, or batt, to the exact length of the cavity. Press them in place and staple through the paper to the studs. Install the rolled insulation in the floor by cutting to size, pressing into the space between joists and attaching with wire fasteners. If yo...
