White tie: typically reserved for diplomatic events or prestigious award ceremonies, this level of formality calls for a tailcoat, white vest and tie, and gloves for men, and a floor-length evening gown with optional long gloves for women. Black tie: for men, this means a stroller or morning dress for daytime events, and tuxedos for evening events. For women black tie means a cocktail dress or long gown, and the choice can be guided by what the event host is expected to wear....

A lady never showed anything below her collarbone before five o’clock PM. A girl under the age of twenty-one never wore red. Tanning for women was considered undesirable, and they wore hats or bonnets when outdoors to protect the beauty of their white skin. Her gloves were always worn, and never removed her gloves, even on the dance floor. But, eating with gloves, however, was considered extremely rude. When women went out, they always wore long stockings that reached their thighs and kept them at that height all day long....

You can turn a plain black dress into a witch’s dress by distressing the hem and sleeves with scissors so it looks tattered and torn. If you’re going for a classically evil witch, try to find a full-length all-black gown. If you’re on a budget, check out thrift stores or costume shops nearby so you don’t have to break the bank. Spiderweb tights would be a great addition to your evil witch character....

There may be some hidden characteristics of a track that only a driver will be able to feel as they drive along, for example, the roughness of the road, if there are any blind corners, or how different weather conditions like rain can make the track slippery. Although a failed drift usually results in your go-kart stopping in the middle of a corner, there’s also a possibility that you’ll hit the sides of the track if it goes wrong....

The plant will need the leaves and stem to finish the growing season, so make sure to leave them in place. Using a rubber band instead of string or ribbon will ensure that the stems won’t slip from the tie as they shrink during the drying process. If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain, either dry the lavender inside near a sunny window or be ready to move it inside when the clouds threaten to break....

If you already have pale and entirely ash blonde hair, you can skip the lightening part. If you’re having trouble parting or sectioning your hair in the back, stand in front of a large mirror. Hold a smaller mirror in front of you above your head with one hand, and use your comb with the other. Never use metal clips when bleaching or dyeing your hair, as the metal can react with the bleach or other chemicals in the dye and damage your hair....

Just spending 5-10 minutes applying heat to your body twice a day can make a big impact. In fact, having a steady exercise routine throughout the month can make your period less painful when that time of the month comes. Sit on the floor with your legs as far apart as they will go. Reach for your toes and ankles while keeping your back straight, while holding in your diaphragm. Take a few deep breaths and bend toward the floor when you exhale for the last time....

Serving utensils are often used to collect food from a communal platter. Using a spoon to eat wetter dishes (like soups or daals) is another exception. [2] X Research source If you find that using your hand alone is way too difficult to eat most dishes without making a huge mess, asking for a spoon is perfectly fine for newcomers. [3] X Research source Forks and knives, however, may puncture the leaf....

If the skin doesn’t easily peel off, scoop the fruit out with a spoon or use a knife to cut the skin off. You can also use pepino as a substitute for honeydew or melon when you make a fruit salad. Try putting your poached pepino melons on top of ice cream or cake if you want an even sweeter, fruitier flavor. Drop a couple of ice cubes in your blender to help cool your smoothie down....

Make sure you include the time you spend using the network on your smart phone or other hand-held device. For people with on-the-go lifestyles, this is often where we clock in most of our Internet hours! Do you check your email fifty times in a day? Perhaps you spend an appalling amount of time on celebrity gossip blogs or websites? Maybe you keep yourself logged in to Google Chat or Facebook Messenger when you’re doing other things, and find you are frequently interrupted by friends looking to chat?...

Try using a heat erasable pen, so you can use an iron or hair dryer to make the ink disappear once you’ve finished your project. Use 2 to 6 strands of embroidery floss for this stitch. The more strands, the thicker the stitch will be. Add more petals closer together to represent dandelions. Put a french knot in the center of the flower to tie the design together. For rose buds, place the stitch along a vine or throughout a bouquet design....

Will I feel better about things if we break up? How would I feel tomorrow if I woke up and had gone through with the breakup? How will I feel tomorrow if I haven’t gone through with it? Will I have any regrets if I do or don’t do this? Do I want to give this another shot? Try opening with something nice, like, “you’re a really great person,” or “we’ve had a lot of great times together....

Net Balls are a good ball to catch Grubbin with since they work best on Bug and Water-type Pokémon. If you’re at the beginning of the game, all Poké Balls have a 100% catch rate on Route 1 (note that this won’t be the case later on in the game). If Grubbin keeps fainting in battle, turn on Exp. Share, which you can find in your bag. [2] X Research source You can also give your Grubbin a Rare Candy to gain a level....

If you’re looking to evolve your Pawmi into a Pawmo and then eventually into a Pawmot, you’re going to need to put in some work. Here’s what you need to know to pull it off. How to Evolve Pawmi into Pawmot Obviously, the first course of action is getting your hands on a Pawmi. Once that is done, though, you’re going to need to level your Pawmi up to Level 18, at which point it will evolve into its second form, Pawmo....

Your physician will recommend that you do not stress the heart muscle with exercise or sex until the muscle has healed. Anaerobic exercise is exercise that is at an intensity high enough to trigger the formation of lactic acid, which can build up in your heart. Anaerobic training is used primarily for non-endurance sports to promote strength, speed, and power. This type of exercise should be avoided after a heart attack....

For dried mint leaves, use vodka containing 45–60% alcohol (90–120 proof). For fresh mint leaves, since they already contain water, use vodka or Everclear with 90–95% alcohol (180–190 proof). Wash fresh mint leaves before chopping. There’s no need to remove the stems, but throw away any slick or dark leaves, as these may be rotting. The leaves may float at first. You can try to push them down with a spoon, but they should sink on their own after a few days....

Some examples you can think of to help you feel sad are the death of a pet or someone close to you, a memory of someone or something you miss, or a really bad breakup. If you’re fake crying for acting, find a situation that relates to what your character is going through. Focus on the emotions you want to feel rather than trying to cry. When you tell yourself you need to cry, you’re focusing on the results rather than what you need to feel at the moment....

Your horse’s digestive tract contains a balance of bacteria and microbes that are vital to healthy intestinal function. This balance is actually quite fragile, and too much of even a healthy treat can upset a horse’s digestive track, leading to discomfort, colic, or other illnesses. Feed your horse only one or two carrots at a time. Small portions of treats are vital. Aside from digestive issues, avoid messing with your horse’s diet, as this risks lowering protein absorption and diluting vitamin and mineral amounts....
