Article: If you want to deal with hair growth on your legs, allowing your hair to grow actually makes surface hair removal treatments more effective. Because the hair strands will be longer, there will be more for a shaver or razor to latch onto. It's a good idea to shave at night rather than during the day. Shaving at night will leave your legs feeling smoother. Shaving hair is arguably the most  common way of removing leg hair. While it may not take hair out at the roots like waxing, it's relatively easy and pain-free to do. Purchase a quality razor from the health section at your local supermarket. Women's razors and men's razors are relatively the same. The only difference is that women's razors are designed to hug around natural curves in the body.  Electric razors are also available, but won't result in as close of a shave. Getting cut by the razor blade indicates you may need to replace the razor. Razors are durable, but you should switch them up when they begin losing their efficiency. It is recommended you use shave gel when you shave. Soap and water alone will dry out the skin. Have a quick shower to moisten the body and open up your pores. Following that, lather the shaving gel over the area you're going to be shaving. It can be helpful to apply gel to a certain area and shave that before moving to other parts. You maximize your ability to catch hairs in your razor if you shave along with the grain. Shave down the leg before you shave up. It's a good idea to run the razor along your skin in a gentle, smooth motion. Sudden, jerky movements or thoughtless angles can risk you accidentally cutting yourself. Razor burn occurs if you try to shave too closely. If left untreated, it can result in ingrown hairs, which are a bother to tend to. If you get nicked or burned, apply an exfoliating body scrub to the area and give your skin some care. Rub the affected area and remove dead or damaged skin flakes from the area. Because electric shavers can be used without first moistening the skin, they're a perfect thing to take along with you on the go. Although it won't leave your legs hairless for as long of a time, the quickness and convenience makes it a good way to deal with it if you're in a pinch for time. Electric shavers require a degree of maintenance. Change your electric razor blade annually, assuming you're using it on a semi-frequent basis. While shaving is usually the most painless hair removal method, a shave doesn't last very long. Shaving leaves the hair follicles intact, meaning that the hair will grow back in a few days. Additionally, shaving can lead to razor burn, dry skin, bumps/nicks, and possible cuts. Ingrown hairs might form as well. Consider switching to an alternate method that removes the hair at the root.

You may want to get a variety of sizes to you can be sure to find one that fits your chosen drum base. Take a scissors and cut of the end of the balloon right where it becomes narrow. Use one hand to hold the balloon over one end of the base while you use the other hand to stretch it over the other side. The balloon goes over the opening of the pot, vase, or bucket you're using as the base.  You might want to get a friend to help you hold it it place so it won't snap back. If the balloon you used seems too small or to large for the base, try a different sized balloon. Use a heavy-duty piece of packing or duct tape to hold the balloon in place all the way around the rim of your drum base. Use chopsticks, pencils, or other long, thin objects to play your drum.

Article: Your first step is to determine what it is you want to achieve. This can be a big change or small one, but taking some time to think about what you hope to achieve is an important first step to success. For example, is your goal to be a happier person? To learn to play an instrument? To get good at a sport? To be healthier? All of these are valid goals. It's up to you to decide what you want. Once you have a general sense of what you want, you need to start thinking about what these goals mean to you. One person's definition of a goal can be very different from another's.  For example, if your goal is to be happier, you need to think about what happiness means to you. What does a happy life look like? What types of things will make you happy? This applies to less overreaching goals as well. If your goal is to learn to play guitar, what does that mean exactly to you? Will you be satisfied with knowing a few chords so people can sing along with you at parties? Or are you striving to be a classical concert guitarist? These are very different definitions of knowing how to play the guitar. It's important to take a little time to think about why you are setting the goals you've chosen. If you think about your motivations, you may find that you end up wanting to revise your goals. For example, imagine your goal is to learn to play the guitar. You stop and think about why, and you realize that it's because you think people who play the guitar are popular at school. This doesn't really suggest dedication to the guitar. It might be a good reason to stop and ask yourself if there's another, easier way to get what you really want, which is more social than musical. Last but not least, you need to decide if your goal is realistic. Sad as it may seem, not every dream can come true. If your goal seems beyond the realm of possibility, it might be time to make a different goal. Imagine you decide it is your dream to be the worlds greatest basketball player. That's a challenging goal for anyone to achieve, but it might be possible for some people. But, if you're only 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, this goal is probably beyond your reach. This sets you up for failure and discouragement. You can still have fun playing basketball with your friends. But, if you're looking to be the best at a sport, you should probably focus on one where height isn't so important.
