Article: If you'd like the blanket to be double-sided, cut two pieces of fleece instead: one that is solid-colored, and one that is patterned. Trace the corners first using a pen, then cut the corners out using a sharp pair of scissors. Not only does this give your blanket a unique touch, but you won't have to sew Mildred corners when adding the bias tape. You can also use a plate or a lid. Unless you made your own bias tape, or bought it already the right length, you will have to sew two or more lengths of bias tape together to make one long, continuous strand. Open up both ends of the bias tape, then pin them together, with the wrong sides facing out. Sew the two strands together using a ¼-inch (0.64-centimeter) seam allowance. Nestle the raw edge of the blanket right into the fold of the bias tape. Place a sewing pin ever 3 inches (7.62 centimeters). Trim off the excess bias tape until you have about 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) left. Overlap it by ½ inch (1.27 centimeters), then fold the excess under itself. Press it flat with an iron, then pin it in place. Use a thread color that matches the bias tape. Remove the pins as you sew. Go over your blanket and double-check for any missed pins, then carefully trim off any loose threads. Your blanket is now complete, and ready to use!

Cut a 36 by 36-inch (91.44 by 91.44-centimeter) piece of fleece. Use a bowl to trace and cut rounded edges onto the corners of your blanket. Sew the bias tape together, if needed. Pin the bias tape all the way around the edge of the blanket. Fold the end of the bias tape under itself to conceal the raw edge. Sew around the bias tape, using a ⅛-inch (0.32-centimeter) seam allowance. Finish the blanket.
Article: Harsh cleansers and exfoliants damage the skin rather than help them. Choose a gentle daily cleanser for your face and avoid using exfoliating products with rough edges, such as crushed apricot shells. Apply a noncomedogenic moisturizer to your face each day. Avoid picking or squeezing pimples or pores, which can lead to spider veins. Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher each day to protect your skin from sun damage. Avoid going out in the sun during peak hours, and wear long-sleeved clothing and a wide-brimmed hat if you must. Wear a hat and scarf to protect your skin from extreme temperatures and wind burn in the colder months, as well. A poorly-functioning liver can lead to spider veins. Reduce your alcohol consumption and try taking supplements to support liver health. Such supplements include milk thistle, holy basil, dandelion root, and bupleurum. Consult your doctor before beginning any supplement regimen. This is especially important if you have an autoimmune disorder. Foods to avoid include processed foods (like lunch meat and hot dogs), fast food, sugar, wheat and gluten. If you are on steroids or hormone replacements, an unfortunate side effect may be spider veins. Talk to your doctor about alternative medications you could take. It’s important that you don’t stop taking a prescribed medication, like steroids, before discussing the decision with your doctor.

Article: Much like with smells, sounds travel easily in apartment buildings. You’ll have to consider your neighbors below, above, and those on the other side of shared walls. Think about the following:  Your dog might bark when you’re not home, disturbing your neighbors. You and your dog might cause a lot of noise if you play inside. While throwing a ball in your living room in a single family home might seem like no problem at all, the associated noise in an apartment building will certainly disturb your neighbors. Any other noise that might be related to your pet that could potentially disturb your neighbors. Most apartment communities require that you inform them of the type and breed of pet before you move in. If you don’t clear it with your landlord, you could face fines, fees, or even eviction. Consider the following when looking to acquire a new pet or picking an apartment community:  Whether the community allows dogs or cats. The size or weight limit of pets allowed in the community. Breed restrictions for the community or even the county or municipality. The number of pets your community will allow. Most apartment communities require a vet reference and documents detailing vaccinations. If your pet is not up to date on his/her vaccinations, you need to consider this, and be ready to get him/her vaccinated before you move in.  Make sure to be signed up with a local vet who has your complete file on hand Make sure to have vaccination documentation on hand, as most apartment communities require these before they will approve your pet. Make sure to have references from vets, neighbors, or former landlords who will vouch that your pet is well-kept and well-behaved. If you have a dog, you should purchase baggies and be prepared to pick up your dog’s waste every time it poops. There are a number of reasons for this:  Respect your neighbors. You want to keep your apartment community looking and smelling nice. Respect your neighbors and maintenance workers who don’t want to step in dog poop. You could face fines from the apartment community if you don’t pick up your dog poop. Apartment communities are unique in that you’ll be living in relatively close proximity to other people. Smells can often travel through hallways and from one apartment to another. As a result, you want to make sure you clean your litter box regularly in order to prevent your neighbors from also living with the smell of your cat. The central feature of apartment communities is shared space. As a result, you don’t want to be letting your dog or cat roam freely in your community. Keep your dog on a leash, and keep your cat inside (unless you want to walk him/her on a leash, too). There are a number of reasons for this:  Some pet owners, although required to by the community, might not vaccinate their pets. Letting your pet roam would make him/her more vulnerable to parasites and other illnesses. One of your neighbors might accidentally hit your pet with their car. Your cat or dog might get into a fight with another cat or dog. Some dogs and/or cats are very nervous when they meet new people. You want to make sure that your dog or cat won’t attack or be overly aggressive to neighbors or unsuspecting maintenance workers.  Consider enrolling your dog in obedient school. Train your dog to not lunge, growl, or bark at people on the street. Although you shouldn’t let your cat roam in the first place, if your cat tends to escape frequently, make sure he or she is not aggressive. This will help minimize potentially costly or harmful cat fights.
