Article: Bristled brushes tend to leave streaks, so using a foam brush will give you a more even coat. You may want a couple brushes of different sizes, especially if you want to paint any kind of patterns on the pot. If you have bristled brushes that you want to use, it won’t hurt anything. Foam brushes just work a little better. Bristled brushes are fine for small detail work later on. You can paint the pot one solid color, but for more variety or for fun designs, painters tape is a great option. With this variation, you’ll tape and paint over the tape for the first coat. Once the paint dries, you’ll take the tape off and paint the areas that were under the tape before.  You can re-tape over the areas you already painted so you keep the lines betweens colors sharp. Another option is to paint the entire pot with the first color, and then tape the designs you want and paint again over everything so the parts under the tape will stay the original color. You can use any paint you want for the main coats. It’s cheapest to use leftover paint you already have around. Exterior or interior paints are both fine, as well as acrylic craft paint. Spray paint works well,too.  Cover the entire outside of the pot, excluding the bottom. It’s not necessarily harmful to paint the bottom, but it can’t cause the pot to not drain as well as it should. Also paint slightly down the inside because the soil will not go to the very top of the pot, and you most likely don’t want the clay to show. Depending on the paint, the color, and how thick your first coat was, you may want to apply more than one coat to get an even cover. Clay pots also tend to absorb some of the paint, so it’s likely that one coat won’t be enough.  Make sure that each coat is dry before you paint any addition coats. If the paint is not dry, new coats will pull the paint off of the pot. You can use a different color for the second coat if you want to give the pot a shaded look. If you do this, you might want to thin the second coat with water so it is a little more see-through. Another option for further creativity is painting lines, shapes, or pictures on the pot. If you’ll use the pot for a plant with large foliage that hangs down, you probably don’t want to go into great detail. This is where you can make the pot as simple or as detailed as you want. For example, you might want to paint a detailed garden scene or you might want to paint the name of the plant in fancy letters. Acrylic sealer will make sure the paint lasts longer without peeling or cracking. This is especially helpful if the pot will be outside in the elements. Wait to put the final seal coat on until all the paint has completely dried.  This is not mandatory, but your paint job will most likely not last as long if you pass on sealing it. You have lots of options when it come to sealants, but pay special attention if you will put the pot outside because not all sealants are meant for all weather. Let the pot sit and dry for a few more days before you plant anything in it.

Article: Symptoms of Effexor withdrawal may include dizziness, fatigue, agitation, anxiety, chills, nausea, headaches, irritability, twitches or shakes, hives, a clicking or buzzing sound in your head, sweating, feelings of unease, muscle pain, and insomnia. These can range from mild to severe. You may experience all of these symptoms or only a few. If you are in the throes of a withdrawal from Effexor, there are a few simple ways that you can cope. First, you should drink a lot of water. The more quickly you can flush toxins from your system, the sooner you can begin to feel better. If you are experiencing Effexor withdrawal, chances are you will not want to eat; however, allowing yourself to get too hungry is a drain on your immune system, and will not help you to bounce back. Instead, try to nibble on nutrient-dense food, like fruits, vegetables, or nuts.  Ask a friend to bring you a fruit smoothie made with strawberry, banana, almond milk, and coconut oil. Alternatively, eat a handful or trail mix or a couple pieces of beef jerky when you feel up to it. The best way to deal with an Effexor withdrawal is to sleep right through it. Do your best to clear your schedule and get as much sleep as you can. Even if you cannot fall asleep, simply taking it easy and getting some rest will enable your body to heal.  This should only be done if you are well-hydrated. Drink water before and after doing any intense sweating. Try to relax and take long, soothing breaths. This will help move oxygen through your bloodstream, lowering your heart rate and stabilizing your blood pressure. Deep breathing can reduce anxiety, panic, and even nausea. Deep breathing has also been shown to help with restlessness and headaches. Although the symptoms of an Effexor withdrawal may be uncomfortable or even painful, they won't last forever. In fact, most people report relief in as little as 24 hours (or 72 hours at the most). If detoxing from Effexor is your goal, you are on the right track. Your withdrawal symptoms will be gone in a few days or less.
