Measure 6 in (15 cm) out from each side your window and 2 in (5.1 cm) above the top of the window so to place your hooks. Install the hooks so they’re level with one another or else your voile will hang crooked when you drape it.  You can screw decorative hooks, or finials, into your wall or you can use adhesive-backed hooks if you don’t want to cause any wall damage. Make sure to get hooks that match the aesthetic of your room. Use a tape measure to find the length from the floor up to the top of your hooks. Then measure how far apart your hooks are. Multiply the height you found by 2 and add that product to the distance between your hooks. Add about 12 in (30 cm) to that length so you can drape the voile without pulling it too tight. over the hooks so it frames your window. Stand on a step ladder to drape the voile over the top of the first hook. Move the ladder to the other hook so you can put the voile over it. Lightly pull on the ends of the voile to adjust the lengths on each side until they’re symmetrical. You may also set a curtain rod on the hooks and loop the voile around the center of the rod. This can add a small decorative touch to the top of your window. When you’re happy with how one side of the voile hangs, tie a knot around the hook and voile so it doesn’t move. Be sure the thread or yarn you use is the same color as the voile so it doesn’t clash. Keep the knot tight enough where it holds the voile in place, but loose enough so you can still make adjustments if you need to. You don’t have to tie the voile to the hook if you don’t want to. Pull on the end of the voile that isn’t tied to change how far it drapes in the center of your window. Make sure the voile isn’t pulled tight across the top of the window, or else it won’t look as nice. Take a few steps back from the window and look at it after you make an adjustment to see if you’re happy with how it hangs. Use the same type of knot you used on the other hook so your voile doesn’t move around. Make sure the thread or yarn you use doesn’t have any elasticity, or else it may stretch and start to sag. Secure the knot tight enough so the voile doesn’t fall, but so you can still make changes to the length if you need to. Use thread that’s the same color as your voile so it’s not visible.

summary: Hang hooks on either side of your window. Measure the height and distance between the hooks to size your voile. Drape the voile Tie the voile to the hook with yarn or thread. Adjust the voile from the untied side until you’re happy with how it hangs. Tie the voile around your second hook to secure it in place.

You've probably heard of bouillon cubes, right? They're added to hot water to make it more flavorful. Although you certainly don't need to make court bouillon, the addition of wine, herbs, and other seasonings takes this shrimp cocktail dish a couple steps closer to perfection. Don't worry about tying a bouquet garni. Just plop everything into your pot and bring to a boil. Stir once or twice to make sure that all the ingredients are well incorporated. Allow the court bouillon to boil for 20 extra minutes for a more intensely flavored broth.

summary: Prepare court bouillon for a tastier shrimp cocktail. Add all the ingredients to a large, covered pot and bring to a boil.

Keep your throat moist when singing in whistle register because the strain is greater than when singing in other ranges. Drink lots of water around your performance. Stay away from alcohol and caffeine before performances because both substances dry out your throat. Talking loudly puts more strain on our vocal cords than talking at a normal volume. If you talk loudly, or talk for a long time, you put extra strain on your vocal cords besides the strain of singing. Don’t talk for long periods of time the day of your show and definitely don’t yell. Any time you are going to sing, you should warm up your mouth, jaw, and vocal cords. Perform a few exercises like singing through your scales and trilling your tongue and lips. Work upward through your notes to reach the whistle register. Never jump straight into notes in the whistle register.
summary: Hydrate before, during, and after performances. Talk quietly before a performance. Warm up before every performance.
