Place your clothes that are brand new in the washing machine.  If you’ve separated your brand new clothes into more than one load – for instance, whites and colors – remember not to throw them all in together.  Add detergent according to manufacturer recommendations. After all your temperature, load size, and other settings are appropriately selected, you’re ready to get started.  If you are unsure of how long the washing cycle will take, ask someone more familiar with the machine or consult your washing machine’s user guide.  If you’re washing your brand new clothes at the laundromat, look for an indicator on the machine that will tell you how long the washing cycle will last. Wet clothing is more likely to color bleed.  Therefore, take your brand new clothing out of the washer as soon as the cycle is completed (usually it will take about 20 minutes). Hang your clothes on the line or place them in the dryer per care label instructions. If the care label on your brand new clothes indicates that you must wash something by hand, do not attempt to wash it in the washing machine.  Instead, fill a sink basin with cool water and mix in a bit of dishwashing liquid until the water is sudsy.  Soak your clothes that are brand new in the water for 10 minutes.  Drain the sink and rinse your clothes in cold water.  Just as you did with brand new clothes that you washed in the machine, separate clothes you wash by hand according to their color. Lay hand-washed clothing flat on a clothing rack or towel to dry.

With curly hair, you're blessed with more volume than the average head of hair. While you may think curls can be a bit of a handful, once you decide to love them, you'll likely get looks of admiration left and right. Try wearing your curls in a big way for a while. You may be surprised by all the compliments you get! Celebrities have the benefit of high-end stylists who know what they're doing, so checking out their styles can help you find a cut that looks good with your hair type. Look for photo galleries of curly hairstyles online and identify the ones you like with similar hair types.  Print off or save the ones you like so you can show them to your stylist! For instance, check out celebrities like Zendaya, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Keri Russell, and Taylor Swift, just to name a few. The fact that your curls are wild and free is half the fun! They may frizz at times or blow in your face. They might poof out more when it's humid out or drag a little when you don't have time to give them the proper care. Whatever ever way, though, your curls are a part of you and a great way to express yourself. Because you tend to wash and style curls less often than straight hair, your morning routine will now go faster! Take that extra time you would have spent straightening or styling your hair to do something you like. For instance, savor a relaxing cup of tea or coffee and head out the door ready to take on the day. In fact, one of the best ways to style curly hair is to leave it down and let it do its thing! There's always going to be people who try to bring you down, and they may say negative things about your beautiful curls. Don't let them get you down! Try to laugh it off and move on. It's likely they're jealous of your natural volume and bounce anyway.

Smoking is, of course, terrible for your overall health. It's been linked to lung cancer, among other diseases. In addition, it's bad for your skin. Mostly, it can cause wrinkles because it lowers the amount of collagen and elastin, which contribute to the elasticity of your skin. Lower elasticity means not-so-smooth skin. Don't forget to include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Also, stick to healthy fats and try to pick foods high in vitamin C. The healthy diet will help keep your skin healthy, but it will also help keep your face from breakouts.  Healthy fats can be found in seeds, nuts, fish, avocado, olives, and some types of oil such as olive oil and flaxseed oil. Fruits and veggies that are high in vitamin C include : citrus fruits, strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, spinach, bell peppers, cauliflower, pineapple, kiwi, potatoes, cantaloupe, and tomatoes. If you are constantly dehydrated, your skin will suffer. Dehydration leads to dry skin, which in turn makes wrinkles to form easily. You don't need to drink extra water to help your skin. You just need to drink enough to make sure you are hydrated. Men should drink 13 cups of water a day, while women should consume 9 cups of water a day. Smiling has been proven to make you look younger. Though it may add to laugh or smile lines over time, smiling can take years off your face. Sometimes, looking friendly is its own type of beauty!

One-sentence summary -- Don't smoke. Eat healthy foods. Ensure you are getting enough water. Don't forget to add a smile.


Dog socialization means learning to be a part of human and dog society in a healthy manner. Bernese Mountain Dogs are known to be a little aloof, so socializing in the first year of life is especially important. While it’s an important part of any puppy’s training, for a giant breed of dog it’s imperative. Begin by introducing the dog to normal household noises and activity in a non-threatening manner. Don’t tease your puppy by chasing it with a broom or vacuum. This will only make it fear these things and maybe even you. Take your puppy for car rides to get it used to riding in vehicles and to introduce them to street sights and sounds through the windows. Dog parks (with your puppy safely leashed) are another good way to interact with other dogs and humans. Puppies can be brought to these places after they have had their first two distemper vaccines.  Do not let your puppy off leash unless you are certain it will get along with other dogs and humans. One of the most productive ways to introduce a puppy to other puppies, humans, and normal sights and sounds is to take them to puppy socialization or obedience classes (for older dogs). These classes are held by community education, 4-H clubs, or pet shops and give the dogs and owners a safe place to learn together. Look through your local newspaper or on-line to find classes near you. Your veterinarian’s office may also know of any classes available.
