Usually, the best thing you can do during prolonged labor is relax and accept you need to wait. If your doctor thinks your pregnancy is progressing normally, there is not a lot for you to do other than try to remain calm. As you usually do not have to go to the hospital during early labor, do things around your home to wind down like reading a soothing book or watching a movie you enjoy. While further studies are needed some evidence suggests stress could stall pregnancy. It certainly couldn't hurt to create a soothing, stress-free environment for yourself and it may help you get through early labor faster.  Evaluate the room and take note of anything you don't like. Is the television too loud? Are the lights brighter than you'd like? Do you want more privacy? Make any adjustments you need to create a soothing room for yourself. This may result in early labor picking up again. A nice warm bath can be relaxing, and can also help if you're feeling any physical pain from labor. While you're waiting for labor to progress, draw yourself a nice, warm bath and linger in the water until you feel calm. While sleep does not always speed up labor, it can make the time feel like it's going by faster. It's also a good idea to sleep during the early stages of pregnancy when you're able to get rest. Eventually, you will progress to later stages where you'll need to push. Sleeping can help you build up strength. If you went into early labor during the night, it's particularly important to try to get some sleep. Nipple stimulation has been known to speed up early labor for some. If you're having trouble getting through early labor, you can roll your nipples between your thumb and pointer finger. You can also rub your nipple with your palm. If you want, you can have a partner or a nurse do this for you. However, some women's nipples are very sensitive throughout pregnancy. If your nipples are sore, do not cause yourself discomfort by engaging in nipple stimulation. There is some evidence that having an orgasm can help labor progress. If you want, you can try to engage in sexual activity with your partner to bring about an orgasm. You can also try masturbation.

Q: Use the application tool provided with your wax to apply the wax in even amounts. Avoid getting the wax on anything else such as your clothes or carpet. You can use any commercial hair removal wax, which can be found at most drug stores. Look for hard wax, as it doesn't need to be pulled off in the opposite direction of the hair's growth, and is therefore less painful. Wait for the wax to set. It should have a sticky consistency once it's ready to remove. Place the cloth strips provided with the wax on top of the wax. Grab the cloth from the edge and pull it off in one swift motion. Apply wax over another section of the hairy area of your stomach. Remove the wax with the cloth strips. Repeat this until you've waxed all the desired areas of your stomach.
A: Apply the wax. Remove wax with cloth strips. Repeat on all unwanted stomach hair.

Article: The tag inside your shirt should have instructions for how to wash it. If it says “dry clean only,” it is safest to have it dry-cleaned, although hand-washing may also be effective. Dry-clean only clothes should never be put in the washer. If you can’t find a care label, assume that the shirt is dry-clean only. Use a wet white towel to gently dab the shirt under the arm or collar. If you see any color on the towel, you may be running the risk of losing some of your shirt’s color when you put in the washer. Consider dry-cleaning instead to protect your shirt’s quality. This will protect it from rubbing too much against other garments or the washing machine itself during the wash cycle. If you don’t have a laundry bag, a pillowcase will do. Most washing machines have a setting labeled “gentle” or “delicates” for lighter materials like silk. Choose this setting and wash your silk laundry with other delicate clothes, like undergarments. If your washer does not have a gentle setting, you may want to consider washing it by hand instead. If you do wash it in the machine, put it inside 2 laundry bags or pillowcases before washing and choose the “colors” or “permanent press” setting if your washer has one. ” Hot water can cause silk to shrink or lose its color. Your shirt should be washed in water no hotter than 30 °C (86 °F) The shorter the cycle, the less stress there will be on the silk fibers of your shirt. Spinning the silk for too long in the washer can mean weakening the fibers, which may cause your shirt to lose its shape. It’s also a good idea to skip the final spin cycle if your washer allows this option. Most detergent brands carry “Gentle” or “Delicate” varieties designed for lighter items like silk. Look for something that doesn’t contain bleaches, brighteners or enzymes. Even if you take all of the necessary precautions, the colors in your silk shirt may run a little. Be sure to wash it with similar colors so you don’t ruin any of your other clothes.

Article: . A simple way to determine skin tone is to look at your veins in natural lighting. If they appear blue or purple, you have a cool skin tone, which usually applies to those with fair or pale skin. However, if your veins appear green you have a warm skin tone and may have olive skin. If you can’t determine what color they are you may have a neutral skin tone and a darker complexion. However, keep in mind that those with darker skin can also have a cool or warm skin tone.  If you are still uncertain of your skin tone, question whether you tan easily or burn when in the sun. If you tan easily, you likely have a warm skin tone. However, if you burn, you probably have a cool skin tone.   You can also decide based on whether you look best in silver or gold. Warm skin tones look best in gold, while cool skin tones look best in silver. Neutrals, on the other hand, look the same in both.   If none of these methods seem to work, or you can’t tell, you are likely in the neutral category. You want to work with the undertones in your skin, which tend to be yellow or golden. Using colors like bronze, light pink, coral, or light green will help enhance your natural coloring. The natural undertones for cool skin types are blues and pinks, so try colors like silver, teal, lilac, or gray to play up your features. Those with neutral skin tones are fortunate enough to have no clear undertones, which means they can pull off almost any color. To work with natural coloring, however, try taupes or creams. These colors will fade and wear off throughout the day. Instead, go for richer colors like jewel tones (emerald, violet, ruby, sapphire), which will appear more muted on darker skin and last longer. These colors will not only wash out your skin, but they can also make you look bruised. To avoid this, go for softer pastels like lilac, rose, or baby blue. These colors will still stand out against your skin without being overbearing.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Figure out your skin tone Try neutral colors for warm skin tones. Try silvery and blue colors for cool skin tones. Experiment with everything for neutral skin tones. Avoid ashy or pallid colors for darker skin. Stay away from grays and dark grays for fairer skin.
