This is the perfect time to photograph the lights, as it’s not too light and not too dark yet. Try to get to the location early, roughly 15-20 minutes before dusk, so you’re sure not to miss the ideal photographing time. Check to see when the sun is going to set so you can make a plan to arrive before dusk.  If you take the pictures earlier, the lights won’t look lit in the photos, and if you take the pictures after the sun has set, then you won’t be able to see the background. When the Christmas lights look like they’re shining brighter against the darkening sky, it’s time to start taking pictures. Continue taking pictures of the lights until you’re satisfied with your collection or the sun completely sets. Since you’re using a slower shutter speed, your photos are going to be more affected by any wobbliness or movement. A tripod is necessary to keep your photographs stable and not blurry.  Set the tripod up on stable ground before dusk so that you have time to make any adjustments. If you don’t have a tripod, try balancing your camera on the hood of a car or another stable surface. If you're using your phone, consider investing in a portable tripod made for your specific type of cellphone. Your camera will require different settings depending on how close or far you are from the Christmas tree lights. Decide exactly what you want to capture in your photo, such as the details of the ornaments on the tree, or a decorated house with lots and lots of lights that is best seen from far away. For example, a picture of a close-up of a Christmas tree will likely require less lighting than a picture of a house lit up when the sun has set. If you're taking pictures of your Christmas tree inside during the daylight, make sure you take it from the right angle. Avoid backlighting to ensure your picture doesn't come out super dark and be aware of how the windows will impact the lighting. If you're taking the picture indoors at night, try to dim the lights in your house so that the Christmas tree stands out but can still be seen. Take pictures from several different angles with different levels of lighting to see which one looks best.

Q: The longer your interactions with a guy are kept casual, the more likely his feelings are to be caught up by someone else. When you meet a guy, there is a charged momentum, and catching the wave can mean everything when it comes to stealing his heart away. Keep in mind there is a difference between openly admitting "I love you" and simply making your attraction apparent. Flirting can say every bit as much, especially if it's mutual and the right chemistry is there. Once you've introduced yourself to a guy, you should already have a decent idea whether there is something there worth exploring in greater length. The question, then, is to figure out whether he feels the same way already. Common signs can include whether he's introducing you to his friends or opening up about more personal topics. If he's not doing this yet at this point, it doesn't mean he's not interested, nor does it even mean you don't have his heart already. Certain guys express affection differently than others. If mutual attraction is already there, openly discussing personal things, whether they are painful experiences or insecurities, makes the connection feel more important and real. Being personal and candid about your feelings shows a longer-lasting commitment between the two of you, but it's only truly meaningful if the exchange goes both ways. If the guy you're interested in doesn't have an easy time talking about his feelings, it's best not to press it. You should let him know you are there for him whenever he feels the need to talk about things like that.  State your intentions about wanting to grow closer if your partner is confused as to why you're approaching him with touchy subjects.  It is more important for you to understand rather than be understood. Especially at first, guys tend to be more closeted about their feelings. In time, he'll find it easier to open up to you. When you're making an earnest attempt at winning over a guy's heart, it pays off to understand that men interpret and demonstrate feelings in a much different way than women. If you're getting frustrated the guy isn't showing enough feeling, it may be because he's been more conditioned to hide the way he feels than you have. Whatever the case may be, it is important to be patient in navigating the differences between male and female psychologies. Chances are high he is feeling just as confused about the way you act.
A: Let a guy know you're interested early on. Look for signs that he wants to get serious with you. Open up about personal matters. Acknowledge the differences in male psychology.

Article: After braiding your first dread, pull three more dreads out of your hair tie. Braid these together, just like you did before, and then push the braid back underneath your hair tie. Keep removing three dreads from under your hair tie three at a time to braid them. If your dreads become dry with the passing of time, use a spray bottle filled with water. Spritz your dreads to get them slightly damp before continuing the braiding process. The process of braiding your dreads can get lengthy, especially if you have a lot of hair. It can take as long as 35 to 40 minutes to braid all your dreads. If you're short on time, consider only partially crinkling your dreads. Keep braiding until you have as many dreads as you want crinkled.

Braid three more dreads together. Spray dreads with water to keep them damp. Braid as many dreads as you want.

Article: Put 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of vegetable or coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Put the bowl in your microwave and heat the oil on high for 15 seconds. Make sure the oil is warm but not scalding hot.  Only use 1 tablespoon (15 ml) if you only have a small stain. The pigment in turmeric is more soluble in oil than it is in water, meaning it will lift the stains off easier. Gently rub your skin in circles over the stained area. Work the oil into the skin to lift the pigment from the stain. After scrubbing for about 30 seconds, let the oil sit on your skin for 1 minute so it can draw out the stain even more. Use a disposable cotton pad to pat the oil off of your skin. Rotate the pad after each pat so it can absorb the most oil. Continue patting your skin dry until the oil is completely removed. You should notice the lifted pigment on the cotton. Lather a body or hand soap in warm water and apply it to the area that was stained. Work the soap in circles on your skin to scrub any residual stains. Rinse the soapy water off your skin and pat it dry with a towel. If you still have stains on your skin, repeat the process again.
