In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Call a local utility company to ask about the location of cables and pipes. If there are any present underneath the planned paving stone area, you may need to change your design. Plan your desired layout before you purchase the stones, so you're sure you'll be able to build a pattern you like. In general, the more "interlocking" there is, the stronger the pattern will be, making the herringbone pattern a good option for vehicle traffic. Mostly, however, this is an aesthetic decision. Choices for layout include:  "Bricklaying": Lay out the paving stones in an offset grid, so the bottom of each paving stone touches two paving stones underneath it. This tends to look better than a simple grid, and may reduce sliding. Herringbone: Form an arrow shape by placing two rectangular paving stones at right angles to each other. "Nest" more of these arrows in a long diagonal line under each other, and use similar lines of arrows to fill the remaining space. Even if your basic pattern only involves one shape of paving stone, you could purchase a second, smaller shape to create a border. Remove plants, fallen leaves, and other surface cover from the area so you can clearly see the area you'll be working with. If more intensive preparation is required, such as breaking up concrete, make sure you follow safe practices, and consider hiring a professional. Stake the corners of the area you want paved, and tie string taut between the strings to mark the border.
Summary: Check with a utility company before digging. Choose a pattern. Clear away grass and debris. Mark the outline of the area.

Problem: Article: Lip balm nourishes your lips so they’re less likely to get dry and flaky. Additionally, lip balm can smooth out your lips by filling in uneven spots. Swipe the lip balm over your upper lip from your Cupid’s bow to the corner of your lips on each side. Then, apply the lip balm to your bottom lip from the center out to the corners. The lip balm should soak in soon after you apply it. If your lips feel gunky, gently wipe off the excess lip balm with a tissue before you apply your lipstick. Check your lips to see if the color looks even. If you have patchy spots, swipe a clean finger over the tip of the lipstick, then dab the color onto the patchy area. Repeat as needed to fill in your lips. It’s generally best to not apply more than 1 coat over your lips because the lipstick can look cakey and could crease. Instead, slowly build up color by dabbing on extra lipstick with your finger as needed. Fold a clean tissue in half, then hold it between your lips with the fold facing your mouth. Press your lips together around the tissue and release. Blotting your lipstick may help prevent your lipstick from getting on your teeth. Plus, it may help set your lipstick.
Summary:
Apply a thin layer of lip balm to moisturize and even out your lips. Use your finger to fill in patchy areas with a second layer. Blot the inside of your lips with a tissue to remove excess.
