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.
Article: You can either create a template using graph paper or find a free template online. You can use as many different patterns/colors of fabric as you like to make your quilt. Use a rotary cutter and a self-healing mat to achieve squares as precise as possible. Use a sewing machine to sew the squares into your desired pattern. Sew the three layers together with a simple stitch in each corner of the quilt. You will remove this stitch later. Fusible batting needs to be ironed to the other two layers, but regular batting does not. Follow the seams in the quilt block and keep a 1/4-inch seam allowance between your stitching and the seam. You should be able to easily cut out the stitches using scissors. Sew long strips of fabric to the outside border of the quilt to create a more complex, polished pattern.

Choose your template and your fabric. Transfer your template to your fabric and cut out the squares. Sew each square together leaving a 1/4-inch seam allowance. Baste the quilted squares, batting, and backing together. Sew the quilt together starting from the middle and working out. Remove the temporary stitches that you used to hold together the three layers. Add borders to the quilt if you want them.
Article: Over a period of time, interval training increases how fast you can run by forcing you to use muscles at a higher capacity.  Begin running at a steady pace. Increase your speed for a particular interval. You can use distance markers on a track or a timer if you're running through a neighborhood. Keep the increases short, at about 20 seconds or so. Once you are at your top speed, slow back down. Repeat as you're able, increasing the number per workout over time. Similar to strides, you increase your speed for short bursts. However, instead of doing it at regular intervals, you do it as you feel moved to do so. Also, you can add in other movements, such as jumping or bounding instead of running more quickly.  To try fartlek, increase your speed as you feel like it while running. Go up to your top speed, and then decrease down again. Alternatively, switch to hopping or bouncing instead. Keep these bursts at less than a minute. Like strides, fartlek can increase your overall speed by stretching your capacity in short bursts. Going uphill helps keep you in proper running form. It forces you to pick your knees and feet up and makes you use your arms to help move yourself upward. Running uphill also builds your muscles, as you're fighting against gravity.  Choose a road or hill with a slight incline. You should be able to go back downhill when you are in the recovery stage of your workout. Increase your speed in short bursts. Go faster for short periods, keeping it under a minute for each interval. Use the down slope for recovery. Once you've made it up the hill, gently jog down the hill for recovery. Hill intervals can increase speed, as they improve technique, increase strength, and push your capacity to make you go faster.

Use stride interval training. For variety, try fartlek. Increase intensity with hill intervals.
