Clothing is usually mass-produced to accommodate standard  body types. Clothes that are tailored to fit your body will accentuate or highlight curves while hiding any spots you may not like. Tailored pieces can also create curves if you aren’t naturally curvy.  In order to best accentuate your curves, your clothes should be formfitting but not tight, nip in at your waist, hug your hips, and fall loosely over your thighs and calves.  If you want to create curves on a slimmer figure, you can make your clothing tailored so it’s slightly more formfitting, but not skintight.  For example, you can have a boxy top tailored to be more form fitting and flattering to your figure by adding darts, or have wrap dresses and skirts adjusted so that they just skim your curves. Solid colors will create a slim line and color blocking, which is a way of wearing two or more solid colors, will help further accentuate your curves.  You can also use color blocking to create curves. For example, a dress that has side panels in a different color that taper in will define your waist and give you a curvier look.  Horizontal color blocking, such as wearing one color on top and another on the bottom, is a bit more subtle but will also highlight your curves. Because fabrics fall in different ways on a person’s body, choosing the right fabrics for your clothing will help accentuate or create curves.  The best options are medium-weight knits and soft fabrics that will drape well over your curves. Consider cotton with a small percentage of spandex to help the garment lightly skim your body while retaining it’s shape. If you aren’t naturally curvy, consider fabrics that have a bit more spandex to hug your body while creating curves. Small clothing embellishments and details, such as a peplum or an A-line, will accentuate or create curves by drawing the eye towards specific areas of your body.  Peplums are a good way to make your hips look curvier. The peplum should be structured and not hang loosely from the article of clothing. If you’re wearing a peplum, stick to slim pants or pencil skirts that go below your knees to create a tapered look. This will make your hips look curvier and your waist smaller.  High necklines can make a woman look boxy, so opt for lower necklines that break up your chest area and draw attention towards your face.  Off the shoulder tops or strapless dresses draw horizontal lines across you and emphasize the widest part of your body. This makes your waist look smaller, helping to create an hourglass shape.  An A-line skirt that nips in at the waist will also help create curves, especially if you pair it with a more form fitting, tucked-in top.  Draping, which is often seen on soft, stretchy fabrics, is another way to create structure and highlight or create curves. The most effective way to highlight your shape and create curves is to accentuate your waist. There are a number of ways you can do accentuate your waist, including wearing a belt or an A-line skirt, or getting tops tailored to your waist. Wearing clothing that is either too large for you or loose and flowing will hide your curves and create a boxy shape. Any woman can wear prints, just keep in mind the silhouette. If you’re naturally curvy, use prints to play up one part of your body while keeping the rest of your outfit simple. If you’re naturally slim, you can wear prints with just about anything. For example, you might consider a printed blouse with a nipped in waist to create curves.

Summary: Have your clothing tailored. Wear solid colors and try color blocking. Wear the right fabrics. Choose clothing details to accentuate or create curves. Accentuate your waist. Avoid loose or oversized clothing.


Spider mites will weaken your plant, and the leaves will often form small yellow or brown dots. You may also notice leaves drying up and falling off your plant. Spider mites will leave webs under the leaves and stems on the plant. Look at your plants daily to see if there is webbing on any of your plants. Since spider mites are less than 1 mm in size, they can be hard to see with the naked eye. Purchase a magnifying glass from a department store or online and examine the leaves on your plants. If you see small specks moving on the leaves, there's a good chance you have spider mites. If you don't have a magnifying glass, you can use a white sheet of paper to see the mites. Hold a piece of paper under the leaves of your plant and then shake them. If you see green, brown, or black specks start to move over the surface of the paper, you have spider mites. You can also crush the bugs with your finger. If they streak green, they are plant-feeding mites. If they are orange or yellow, they are probably beneficial predators.

Summary: Look for yellow or brown dots on your plant's leaves. Examine your plants for webbing. Search for mites with a magnifying glass. Shake your plant's leaves over a white piece of paper.


Sandy soil ensures a lack of water logging. Avoid clay based soil and whatever type of soil you use, ensure that it allows for free flowing irrigation as water-logging can lead to damaging the tree. Buy cashew seeds specifically for growing from gardening supply stores. Cashews sold for consumption, even raw ones, are not viable because their protective shell has been removed. If you plant multiple trees, plant them 30 feet (9.1 m) away from each to ensure adequate room for growth.  Using the freshest seed possible will provide the best results so plant as soon as you get hold of it. Cashews can’t sustain in areas with heavy rainfall or wind but can thrive in extremely hot temperatures up to 50 °C (122 °F). Because of this, tropical areas that are very warm and receive medium levels of rainfall are ideal. If there is too much rain, the roots will drown and the tree will die. Cashew trees thrive in warm, sunny climates and if the tree doesn’t receive this much sunlight then it will grow slowly and eventually may not even flower. Ideal locations for growing cashew trees include:  Open fields Farmland On top of hills that will not be too windy
Summary: Plant your fresh cashew seed in sandy soil. Plant your seeds 10 centimetres (3.9 in) deep to make room for expansion of roots. Use an area that receives moderate rainfall. Ensure your tree has access to at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
