Article: Overreacting, panicking, screaming, yelling, or blaming someone else for what happened will become the true embarrassing moment. Whether someone spilled your secret or you accidentally walked into a wall right in front of your crush, keeping a level head will help you get out of the situation with as much grace and dignity as possible.  Taking a deep breath can go a long way in calming you down. Try to inhale for four seconds, then exhale for four seconds. As you are breathing, think about what you will say, instead of blurting out something defensive. So you just fell in front of the whole school at the pep rally. Get up, dust yourself off,and laugh. Say something like "Wow, that was embarrassing!" and keep going. If you're able to laugh at yourself, you'll take the tension out of the moment, and may even appear to be confident.   People are more likely to be forgiving of those who own up to their mistakes. If you acknowledge that you said or did something embarrassing, there might be a little teasing, but people will be more likely to let it go.  Even if you can't laugh about it in the moment, try making a joke out of it later. It will show you don't take yourself too seriously. You may be replaying an embarrassing moment over and over in your mind—the dumb joke you told in front of your crush that fell flat—but chances are you are the only one. People often aren't paying as close attention us as we may imagine and tend to judge others more on overall character than one embarrassing incident.  It's likely your crush didn't even notice the thing you're agonizing over. Or, if they did, it probably wasn't as bad as you think. Obsessing over a moment in the past can be destructive and does little other than make you feel sad and angry. If there's something to learn from the incident (like to pause and think before you speak), then take that lesson, and let the rest go. Remember that everyone gets embarrassed. Each and every person, from the president to your crush, has been embarrassed.

Keep your cool. Own it and laugh it off. Don't dwell.
Article: Before you start, you should unplug the dryer to prevent accidents. The plug is usually located behind the machine. Test it to be sure that you have unplugged it correctly. Use an ice pack to harden the gum. Hold the ice pack directly on the gum. You may need to move the pack slightly to hit different parts of the gum. Using a credit card or plastic windshield wiper, scrape off as much of the gum as you can. If there are any more pieces which are stubborn, you can remove these with a straight razor, like you would use to remove paint from glass.  Be extremely careful when you do this. You should not move the razor toward your body and you should try to keep your fingers out of the way. Make small movements and use minimal force. You can try to soften the gum by blowing it with an air dryer and then scrape it off of the drum. Gum tends to be notoriously difficult to remove. If you still can't get it off, use a commercial product like Goo Gone, which is designed to remove gum. With all of the gum removed, you can wipe down the inside of the drum with soap and water to remove any remaining sugar stickiness.

Article: Some plants emit a smell that bugs find repellent, which can transform your home from an insect magnet to a bug-free haven. Add a variety of indoor and outdoor plants to your property so as many insects are driven away as possible.  For outdoor plants, try lemongrass, chrysanthemums, marigolds, petunias, and pitcher plants. For houseplants, try bromeliads, citronella, catnip, jade plants, and Venus flytraps. Like plants, some herbs also have a repugnant smell to insects. Grow a few bug-repelling herbs around your home or look for natural cleaners that contain herb oils for a fragrant alternative to chemical cleaners. Bay leaf, mint, rosemary, basil, and lavender are all bug-repelling herbs. Mix lemon eucalyptus oil with water in a small spray bottle and apply it to fabric items you want to keep bugs away from. While the oil is usually effective, it does not last as long as chemical cleaners—re-apply the oil every 2 or 3 days for lasting benefits. Add around 5-10 lemon eucalyptus oil drops per 1 cup (8 oz) of water. When shopping for natural repellents, check the ingredient list to make sure it doesn't contain any strong chemicals. Check the online reviews for natural cleaners before you purchase them to make sure they're both safe and effective. When looking for natural cleaners, avoid bug repellant made of DEET, Picaridin, or IR3535.
