Use a regular teaspoon-sized spoon, and not a large one. You want it to fit neatly over your eye, so that the curve of the spoon will match the curve of your eyelid. Warming up the metal will create a better curl by transferring heat to your eyelash hairs. It will have a curling iron-like effect on your lashes. Dry the spoon once it's warmed up. Position it horizontally and rest it gently against your lid. You want the bottom of the spoon to be against your eyelid, with the bowl of the spoon facing out. Align the edge of the spoon with your upper lash line. Use your finger to press them over the edge of the spoon and into the bowl. Hold them there against the warm metal for thirty seconds.  Do the same to the lashes on your other eye. You may need to warm up the spoon again before starting. Using either clear or black mascara will help the curl stay in place for the rest of the day. Only use an eyelash comb to separate and define your lashes if there is clumping. Don't comb too much, or you'll lose the curl.

Summary: Grab a clean spoon. Run it under hot water. Hold the spoon against your eyelid. Press your lashes against the curve of the spoon. Apply mascara to set the curl. Carefully comb your lashes while mascara is still wet. Finished.


Typically there are some things that cause you to feel more anxious than others. Some common triggers of social anxiety include:  Meeting new people Going on a date Public speaking Taking exams Using public restrooms Parties or eating in public Once you identify the trigger, try to do these things more often. The more that you do anxiety-provoking activities, the better you will get at them. Consequently, you will begin to experience less anxiety.  For example, if meeting new people is anxiety-provoking for you, practice saying hello first or be intentional about making eye contact when speaking to other people. Try speaking to three people each time you go to the grocery store. Although you can avoid some anxiety-provoking situations, it’s probably not the best idea in the long run. In fact, avoidance can make your fear worsen over time. Instead, try facing your fears one step at a time. If you know that a particular situation may trigger your anxiety, try preparing for it in advance. For example, you could read the newspaper in advance to discover conversation starters before going on an outing with other people. Or maybe you could practice going to dinner with a family member or friend before going on a date. A great way to conquer your fears is to participate in more social activities. Here are some great ways to interact with others in a more positive way:  Volunteer for a cause that you’re passionate about. Go to places where you have to use your social skills, such as a restaurant. You could also take a social skills workshop. Community colleges may conduct these types of workshops. Take an assertiveness class.

Summary: Recognize what triggers your anxiety. Take note of what you are doing when you are feeling the most anxiety. Prepare for anxiety-provoking events in advance. Find supportive social environments.

Take care not to damage the plant as you remove it from its packaging, and carefully plant it in the substrate according to the planting instructions. Different types of plants require different depths to be planted in the substrate — some common methods for different plant types include:  Mosses and Grasses: Turn off the filter, and place the moss directly on top of the substrate in areas you want it to grow. Place a heavy coin, such as a half dollar or pound coin, on top of the moss to keep it down while the roots grow into the substrate over the next week. Potted plants: Remove the plant from the plot and be careful to not damage the roots poking out of the bottom of the dirt or cotton. Dig a hole in the substrate as wide as the plant, place it inside, and then blend in the sides of the plant with substrate. Ferns: Attach the fern to a rock or piece of driftwood with a fishing wire or cotton thread to keep it upright. Ferns do not need to be placed in the substrate layer, most just need something solid to hold onto for stability. Cotton thread will dissolve with time, whereas fishing wire should be cut away and removed once the fern takes hold. Plants with a stem: Push the base of the stem about 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) into the substrate and it should stay upright. If not, use a fishing wire or cotton thread to keep it up until it can support itself. You can plant stemmy plants all in one area in a frilly bunch, or spread them around the back and middle areas. Plants of all kinds can quickly become too big and take up too many resources in the tank for their own good. Use a very sharp knife to cut away dead leaves, dead stems, and trim the grass or moss in the tank every time you clean the aquarium.  Moss can be re-planted in other areas of the tank, if you wish, by simply placing it onto an empty patch of substrate and weighing it down with a heavy coin until the roots take hold. Take about 2 in (5.1 cm) off of the top of a stemmed plant to encourage its growth when it gets to reach the top of the water level. Substrate, plants, and everything else you've put into the aquarium can change the acidity, nutrient content, and overall healthiness of the tank. Allow the tank to cycle water normally through the filter, remove algae and buildup, and allow the plants to take root before you introduce fish and aquatic animals.  The tank needs time to build up nutrients and beneficial bacteria in the substrate. This beneficial bacteria helps to stabilize the tank and prevents ammonia and nitrate build up. Especially with bottom feeding and burrowing aquatic animals, it is important to let your plants get to the point that they can support themselves before you introduce new creatures. Some aquatic pets will dig at the base of plants, or eat leaves and stems, so you give your plant the best chance of survival if you allow it to take root.
Summary: Remove your plant from its container and set it in the substrate layer. Trim your plants regularly to encourage their growth and survival. Let the tank cycle water for about 1 month before you introduce your fish.
