article: When you’ve got the flower, you’ll see that you have 2 strings coming from each side. Take one yellow bead and thread that with one string from any side. Then, take the string that is opposite from the other string and thread it to the different direction.  You should be able to see that you've made a criss-cross looking pattern within that bead. Tie it with a single knot. Do not cut the strings. Take at least 7 green beads and thread them with two strings that must go in the same direction. Even though you’re making the stem, you’re also about to start making the leaf.  Take only one string and set that aside. Add 5 green beads to thread it through that string. Thread a loop around the fifth bead. After looping around the fifth bead, use the string to thread it through the fourth bead, going in the opposite direction. Release the thread from the fourth bead. First, add two green beads to the string. Take the string and starting from the fifth bead of the stem, thread that bead, then through the sixth and seventh beads. This string should go in the same direction as the other string that has not been used. Simply repeat the steps above for the first leaf. However, you have to use the other string that has not been used. Simply separate the string, add the beads, loop it around the 5th bead, thread it through the 4th bead going in the opposite direction, and then add 2 more beads and thread the string through the beads of the stem. Just thread 1 green bead with the two strings facing in the same direction. Take one more green bead. Then use one string to thread it, and use the other side of the string and thread it in the opposite direction. This should also follow a criss-cross pattern. Make sure that the strings have been pulled tightly. Use the scissors to cut off the excess string and voila! You’ve completed your first flower!

article: Dresses are one of the easiest ways to wear velvet.  Not only are velvet dresses available at numerous trendy clothing shops in many different cuts and styles, but they’re also easy to dress down with accessories and accent pieces.  Any cut will work for your casual velvet look, but slip dresses and short-sleeved dresses can be particularly easy to accessorize casually.  You also might want to avoid plunging necklines, exposed shoulders, or long skirts, as these cuts can read as formal. If you’re having a hard time finding a dress you like, check out mass, internationally available retailers such as boohoo, Forever21, or ASOS. Footwear can set the tone for an entire outfit and switch a night-look into a day-look in one fell swoop.  To do so, grab your favorite, worn-in pair of cowboy boots or some basic, no-frills sandals.  Brown or black matte-finish leather in particular will immediately make a dress more casual.  For an edgier but still daytime look, pair your velvet dress with combat boots or some studded booties. For example, pair a short velvet slip dress with some black combat boots or a pair of colorful ballet flats.  Alternatively, take a burgundy or hunter green short-sleeved velvet dress and add some light brown cowboy boots to play down the rich, jewel tones of the dress. Like shoes, jewelry can dress an outfit up or down.  Rhinestones, diamonds, shiny gold, and pearls will make your dress look fancier, while brassy, coppery, or turquoise stones will make it more relaxed.  In general, you want your jewelry to complement your velvet dress rather than compete with it, so avoid statement jewelry with sparkles or glossy finishes. Stud earrings, cuff bracelets, and long pendant necklaces in brassy tones are all excellent options to dress your velvet piece down while still making you look put-together. If you’re still feeling overly formal in your velvet dress, toss a light jacket over it.  This addition will break up the solid velvet, as well as add visual interest and structure to the overall look. Leather or bomber jackets are perfect for a casual day out with your friends, while a fitted blazer is a great, ever-appropriate look for the office or other professional events. Tights and strappy shoes can work wonderfully with a casual velvet look, but you should be careful which bottom-half accessories you use.  Shiny, sheer tights will slant your velvet dress toward a nighttime look, as will stiletto or chunky heels with lots of straps or ties.  Opt instead for opaque sweater tights and flat gladiator sandals. Also keep your purse or bag in mind!  An embossed or shiny clutch will make your dress look more formal, whereas brown, slouchy hobo bags will dress it down.

Lemon juice is acidic and can help lighten and fade the discolorations from marks and scars. It also has lots of vitamins which will help your skin heal. However, it will also make you more sensitive to the sun. Be sure to wash it off before going outside. You can apply lemon juice directly to your scars quickly and easily each day:  Squeeze fresh lemon juice. You will only need a couple of teaspoons. Use a Q-tip to dab it directly onto the scars. Be careful not to get it on the surrounding, healthy skin. Leave it on until it dries then wash it off. If you don’t have lemons, you can use other acidic substances like apple cider vinegar, or limes. Apply a moisturizer that contains dimethicone after applying the lemon juice to avoid drying out the skin and to aid in healing process. Aloe vera may provide some healing benefits for acne scars. Aloe will help nourish your skin and promote healing. It’s great for all areas, not just the scars. You can apply it in two ways:   Apply a commercially prepared mixture according to the instructions on the packaging. You can purchase aloe vera gel at the drug store without a prescription. If you have an aloe plant in your house, break off a leaf. Cut the leaf in half the long way and crack it open to reveal the gooey gel inside. Smear this gel directly onto your skin and let it soak in. This will exfoliate and remove any dead or damaged skin, encouraging collagen production, cellular turnover, and improved skin appearance. You can make a baking soda rub as follows:   Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with two teaspoons of purified water until it forms a thick paste. Rub directly onto the affected area for one minute. Wash the paste off and moisturize your skin with a non-oily moisturizer.
