Practice parting your lips in a circular motion. You can also use your tongue, like you're gently pushing into the flesh of a soft fruit.

Summary: Stand in front of the mirror and pretend like she is front of you.


You can use common household objects to remove lint, such as scotch tape or any other sticky, adhesive tape. Fold a piece of the tape over so it has two sticky sides and then put one sticky side on your finger. Use your finger to remove lint on your black clothing. If you are trying to remove lint on a large area of your clothing, you may try using sticky contact paper or adhesive drawer liners to remove the lint. Press and roll the paper on the clothing until the lint is removed. You can also try running the black clothing through the washer to remove lint. If the clothing is prone to shedding when washed, turn it inside out and wash it that way. If the clothing is covered in lint already, wash it right side out to remove the lint.

Summary: Use scotch tape. Run the clothing through the washing machine.


If you sow seeds in the early spring, you’ll have a shot at seeing flowers in late summer that same year. Even if your plants don’t bloom until their second year, they’ll still produce spiky silver leaves that will add interest to your garden.  You can find echium seeds online or at a garden center. If winter temperatures don’t routinely fall below 40 °F (4 °C), you can also sow seeds in late summer, but you won’t see blooms until the following year at the earliest.  For cold climates, you may have to sow seeds indoors, then transplant seedlings after the threat of frost has passed. Prepare the planting area by tilling the soil and removing any weeds. If your soil is dense or compacted, rake in sand, loam, or a mixture of equal parts garden soil and perlite. The roots of larger species will spread deep, so dig at least 2 to 3 ft (0.61 to 0.91 m) into the soil. Water the soil bed well, then broadcast your seeds. Check your package’s instructions for specific spacing requirements. For larger species, you might have to transplant seedlings once they sprout so they have enough space to thrive. Freely broadcasting seeds is quick and easy, but you could also dig small grooves in the soil bed, then sow the seeds in these grooves. That way, it’ll be easier to distinguish echium sprouts, which will shoot from the grooves, from undesired weeds. Echium seeds need light to germinate, so you don’t want to bury them with a thick layer of soil. Instead, lightly scatter a dusting of soil over the seeds after broadcasting them. Keep the planting area moist, but avoid drenching the soil, or runoff might wash away your seeds. The seeds will sprout within 3 weeks, and you can then start watering the bed less frequently. During heavy downpours, cover seeds and seedlings with garden cloches or a tarp to keep them from getting washed away.

Summary: Sow seeds in early spring after the threat of frost has passed. Dig out the soil and, if necessary, amend it. Scatter seeds thinly, or around 2 to 4 in (5.1 to 10.2 cm) apart. Cover the seeds with about 1⁄4 in (6.4 mm) of soil. Water the planting area regularly for 2 to 3 weeks.


You can make it easy for customers to leave reviews by creating a profile on relevant review sites.  The sites you use will depend on the industry you are in. However, you can begin by searching for reviews of your competitors and noting the review sites they appear on. Popular review sites include Angie’s List, Yahoo Local, Google Local, LinkedIn, Yelp, and CitySearch. Some websites will gather your reviews. For example, Reevoo or BazaarVoice will host reviews. These services make getting reviews easy, especially if you work in an industry which isn’t reviewed frequently on Yelp or other established sites. Put the information on the back so that it is easy for customers to find. You can write, “Send feedback to” and then include a list of links.
Summary: Find relevant review sites. Choose a review service. Include your profile on your business cards.
