Making Bangles with Scrap Paper   Components : 1. Scrapbook paper. 2. Newspaper. 3. Glue. 4. a soda can. 5. Paint brush. 6. Scissors or paper trimmer.   Making : Step 1 – Cut paper Decide on the height of the bracelet. The one shown above is 3/4 inches tall.   Using scissors or a paper trimmer, cut long strips of newspaper 3/4 inches wide. Cut 2 strips of scrapbook paper 3/4 wide and long enough to fit around the soda can with at least an inch or 2 inches of overlap. I wanted a contrasting color band on the outside of the bracelet, so I also cut several long strips of newspaper 1/2 inches wide. Then cut 1 strip of the the contrasting scrapbook paper 1/2 wide and long enough to fit around the can with some overlap.   Step 2 – Glue the inside of the bracelet Pick up the scrapbook piece that will line the inside of the bracelet. Place it so that the pattern faces the soda can. Start wrapping and add glue where the strip overlaps. (Be careful not to get glue on the can.)   Step 3 – Glue the middle layers of the bracelet Apply glue to a newspaper strip and start wrap it around the bracelet. Start where the last paper strip ended. Once you’ve glued several layers on, you may want to remove the paper from the can and keep wrapping. (The soda can’s a little heavy, and once you’ve gotten the initial shape of the bracelet, it’s easier to wrap the paper without having the can in the middle.)   Continue doing this until the layers of paper are about 1/8 inch thick.   Step 4 – Glue scrapbook paper to the the outside of the bracelet Glue the 3/4 inch thick scrapbook strip around the outside of the bracelet.   Step 5 – Add the contrasting color band to the outside Glue a couple strips of the narrower (1/2 inch) newspaper around the outside of the bracelet so that it centered. Then glue the narrower scrapbook paper on.   Step 6 – Dry Coat the inside and outside of the bracelet with a sealant such as ModPodge. Let dry completely for about 24-48 hours.   Step 7 – Decorate If you want to add some bling, glue on the rhinestones. For a more finished look, sand the top and bottom edges. Paint edges with gold paint.   Finished ! Get creative and make lots of other types of bracelets! You can use all types of decorative paper to make these bracelets. Experiment with different heights and different thicknesses. If you don’t want to use scrapbooking paper, try using just newspaper and painting the bracelet when it’s dry. You can also experiment with wrapping string or yarn around the outside of the bracelet to add your own style.  

Making of Chinese Lantern Pendants   Materials : 3/4 inch circle craft punch 1 sheet of Scrapbook paper Silver seed bead (size 6/0) Red glass pearl bead (6 mm) 2 bead caps (1 used 10 mm caps) 20 gauge wire (Approx 6 inches) Thin chain link Glue – Mod Podge, Elmers, PVA glue are all good. A small paintbrush for applying glue Wire cutters Round nose pliers Bent nose pliers A necklace of your choice   Making : Using the circle punch, cut out 12 circles   Fold the circles in half Put glue onto half the back of a folded circle. Attach to the next folded circle. Continue until all the folded circles are attached. It looks a little like a book right now. Glue the first circle to the last. Set the round paper bead aside to dry. Grab your wire, cut about 6 inches off, and make a loop at one end using your round pliers. Cut 3 lengths of chain — each 1 inch long. Open the loop at the end of the wire. Attach the chains to the loop and close the loop with your bent nose pliers. Thread the straight part of the wire through your beads in this order: Red bead, end cap, paper bead, end cap, silver bead. One you have threaded all the beads, use your round pliers to make a loop at the top of the pendant. You’re done! Either slip the pendant directly onto a necklace or attach to a necklace with jump rings. (we used a flocked velvet necklace from a craft store and attached the pendant with jump rings.)

  Any pet with easy access to the garden will bring plenty of the great outdoors in on its coat and paws. Keeping your dogs and cats clean, and taking preventative measures when you know they have got especially dirty, will reduce the amount of dirt they can bring into your house. 1. Keep a clean rag by the door that your pet uses so that you’ll be more likely to remember to wipe off muddy, wet paws and claws before your beloved animal makes unsightly tracks through the whole house. 2. Once a week, take your dog outside and give its fur a good going-over with the type of brush recommended for its coat. Do this well away from the house, so that the tufts won’t tumble back inside. 3. The miracle way to lift pet hair from furniture and other surfaces is to wipe with a damp sponge or cloth. The hair will gather in clumps, and onto your cloth. An excellent alternative is a lightly-dampened rubber glove, rubbed quickly back and forth. It will pick up bundles of hair. Or you could use one of those special rubber brushes with nubs on it that is intended for grooming cats and finer-haired dogs (available at pet shops). 4. Nothing beats your vacuum cleaner for pulling pet hair out of your rugs and carpets. If you have a number of pets or an animal that sheds a great deal, it could be worth considering a vacuum cleaner which has been specially designed to deal with fur. Typically they have greater suction power for sucking up fur and special filters for trapping potential allergens.

  Create a bouquet of fabric flowers that you don't even need to sew. Follow this tutorial to create the fabric flowers with a glue gun and wooden dowels. Spray paint is optional!     Materials: 1. fabric scraps 2. wooden dowels 3. hot glue gun 4. coordinating felt 5. (optional) spray paint 6. (optional) kitchen sponge     Ingredients: Pick out the fabric color scheme you want. This project is perfect for all those fabric scraps you've been stashing away, like a pack rat (see you really do need them.) Purchase round wooden dowels at your local craft store. You can do any size you want but mine were 3/16 in by 12 inches long. They're inexpensive. About $2 for a bag of 16. Cut strips of fabric approximately 2x16 inches (no rules here, do whatever size you'd like. This is the size I used) Then, with your fabric strip, wooden dowel, and glue gun....we'll make a flower. Bunch up the beginning of the flower a bit (this will be the center of the flower). Btw, I'm right-handed and found that it's easiest to hold the flower in my left hand and work the fabric around with my right. If you're a Leftie, do the opposite. Stick a dab of hot glue right in the center there and glue the end of the dowel to the center of the flower.   Don't worry, the tip of the dowel won't show when you're done (unless you want it to! You can push it out more and add something to the top of it for a cool center. Then, run a few inches of glue along the next section of the fabric Like this: And carefully, scrunch bits of the fabric up and press it together at the bottom of the flower. It's like you're "ruffling" the fabric. Just keep doing this, bit by bit. Glue, gather, stick, etc. Until you've gone all the way around. You may try using the back of a pen to help press the glued fabric down to keep from burning your finger. And there you go! You should have a pretty blossom like this: But let's finish off that base.... Cut a small FELT circle (any color you'd like). Doesn't need to be a perfect circle, just eyeball it. Cut a slit in the middle, a la Mrs. Pacman, like this: Then, glue and wrap the little felt circle around the base of the flower to disguise the messy glue and fabric:  Wasn't that E-A-S-Y? And really, pretty cute. Okay, let's try variations...Want to color your stems? Easy again! Grab your favorite spray paint color. Who said stems had to be green? P-sha. You need to find something to make the dowels stand up while you spray them. Use whatever you have in the house. Nothing fancy. I grabbed a sponge from under the kitchen sink, poked tiny holes in it, and stuck the dowels down in each hole.... Okay, take your dowels to a good/ventilated "painting spot". To contain the paint even more, spray them inside of a box. These bankers boxes have come in more handy for craft projects than for moving. And start spraying away. Make sure everything gets and even coat. Let them dry. The tips of the painted dowels will be left unpainted, so use that part of the dowel when you glue it to the center of the flower, so it's hidden: The orange really adds a splash of color: To create the "scalloped" look of the two flowers above, fold your fabric strip in half a couple times: Then cut a wavy pattern or scallops out of the one side: And glue it around the dowel. You can also trim the edges a bit when you're done to sculpt the flower even more. More ideas.... Add a center to your flower by bunching up a small scrap of fabric and glueing it right into the center: Try a bright color at the base of your flower: and finally...  

  how is the jewel? nice right? then come on why late? let's make it.   Things you'll need.     Combine your salt, flour and water to make dough! TIP: Dissolve the salt in the water first (unless you want cute little salt crystals in your jewels).     Roll out that dough and make these little bead/button things.     Bake your "buttons."     Take them out back and get your spray paint     Let them dry, add string and hit the town in your new fabulous necklace!     Optional: Add pearls.

  Picture frames add personalization to photos, paintings and your children's artwork, especially when you make your own. Homemade picture frames make thoughtful gifts for friends or family members, and make your memories even more meaningful and everlasting. You can design your frame in 2D or 3D with materials from a craft store or you can draw on the frame to make your own special design.   Things You'll Need : 1. Pencil. 2. Picture. 3. 2 large poster boards. 4. Ruler. 5. Hobby knife. 6. White glue. 7. Decorative items. 8. Two-sided tape. Instructions : 1. Place your picture face down in the center of the poster board and trace the outside of the picture with a pencil. Do the same for the second piece of poster board. Leave at least 3 inches around the picture so you have enough room to outline it for the the frame. 2. Measure 2 inches outside the perimeter of the picture outline using a straight ruler and trace those measurements with a pencil on both poster boards. 3. Cut the outer lines on both poster boards using a hobby knife and remove the excess poster board from both. 4. Cut the inner outline on the first poster board and remove the inner piece. You will then have what looks like the outline of a picture frame. 5. Design the picture frame to your liking and allow it to sit and dry for one hour. Decorate your frame with gems or beads; or, if the picture is of someone who enjoys a sport, decorate the frame with their favorite sports team. 6. Turn the picture over and dot each corner with glue to apply the picture to the undesigned second poster board. Align it so the picture fits perfectly in the center of the poster board and let it dry for 30 minutes. 7. Apply the designed frame to the second poster board with glue. Align and secure it so you can view the picture through the front and let it sit to dry for 30 minutes. 8. Attach a piece of two-sided tape to the upper back side of your designed frame to hang it on a wall.

Newspaper is great for making paper beads.   On it’s own, you can make nice black and off-white beads. (I say off-white because the white is never truly bright white in a newspaper.) However, what if you want to have something a little more exciting? If you want to add custom color to your newspaper beads, you can easily color newspaper with water color paints. To make newspaper beads colored with watercolors, start with a sheet of newspaper. I just cut out a random section. If you newspaper has color photos on it, you will want to avoid those sections because they will change the colors of your final beads. For watercolors, I just used inexpensive watercolor paints that I found at my local craft shop. I decided to use purple and yellow for this project. Using a large paintbrush, first wet the paper down with water. Then paint one side of the paper with one color and paint the other side with your other color. The more water you add, the more translucent your paint will be. I added more water to the watercolor paints towards the center of the paper and left the edges of the paper darker. Let your paper dry and then cut into strips for rolling into beads. In the above photo, be sure to cut cut from the top to the bottom so you get both colors in each bead. I use a paper trimmer to do this, buy you can just as easily use scissors. You’ll end up with triangles. Roll your beads using Mod Podge and then let them dry, and you’re done! Be sure to roll carefully. I find that newspaper can be pretty fragile when I am rolling it. If it tears while rolling, just dab on a little extra glue and re-attach the torn part of the strip and finish rolling. I really like how the colors came out with these beads. Once they dry, you may want to seal them again with another layer of Mod Podge or with a water soluble varnish like Polycrylic. Use your beads for your next beading project! I put my beads on an elastic cord and made a bracelet. Enjoy!

  Palak Muchhal (born 30 March 1992) is a singer from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. She and her younger brother Palaash Muchhal perform stage shows across India and abroad to raise funds for poor children who need financial assistance for the medical treatment of heart disease. As of May 2013 she has raised funds of 25 million through her charity shows which has helped to save lives of 572 children suffering from heart ailments. Muchhal has made her entry in both Guinness Book of World Records and Limca Book of World Records for great achievements in social work. Her work is also recognised by the Government of India and other public institutions through various awards and honours. Muchhal also gives her voice as Bollywood Playback singer. She was noted for her songs in Ek Tha Tiger (2012) , Aashiqui 2 (2013), Zanjeer (2013) movies.   Her decision to use her voice to help others was triggered when she saw poor children using their clothes to clean train compartments. Around the same time, teachers at Nidhi Vinay Mandir, an Indore based school, approached Muchhal and her parents with a request for a charity show to raise funds for their pupil, Lokesh, who was suffering from a congenital heart defect. His father was poor footwear shop-owner, earning 50 a day and was unable to bear the 80,000 cost of heart surgery. Muchhal and her parents agreed to arrange a show and in March 2000, she used a street vendor's cart as a stage for the event and collected 51,000 towards the cost of surgery. The attendant publicity prompted renowned Bangalore-based cardiologist, Devi Prasad Shetty, to operate on Lokesh free of charge. Muchhal's parents gave advertisement in local newspapers so that idle funds can be used for heart surgery of some needy child like Lokesh. The outcome of this was a list of 33 children in need of heart surgery.   In 2001 Muchhal raised around 1 million rupees for the victims of 2001 Gujarat Earthquake. In July 2003 Muchhal offered financial assistance through her charity funds to parents of 2-year old Pakistani girl who had hole in the heart. Muchhal's charity organisation is named as 'Palak Muchhal Heart Foundation'. By March 2006 this foundation had financially assisted 200 children to undergo heart surgery. By the end of the year 2006 Muchhal had raised 1.2 crore (equivalent to 2.5 crore or US$400,000 in 2013) for this foundation which were used to save lives of 234 children. To ensure that operations of children do not stop due to lack of money, Bhandari Hospital in Indore has allowed an overdraft of up to one million rupees to Palak Muchhal Heart Foundation. In 2006 Muchhal was one of the five heroic stories broadcast by Star Gold channel as part of its "Rang De Basanti Salaam" initiative. By June 2009 Muchhal had staged 1,460 charity shows across the world which had raised 1.71 crore (equivalent to 3.6 crore or US$570,000 in 2013) for Palak Muchhal Heart Foundation. These funds helped to save lives of 338 kids.   Doctors allow Muchhal to be present in the operating theatre. She has her own surgical gown in the hospital and when the operation takes place she chants from the Bhagavad Gita. Muchhal and her parents do not receive any financial benefits from the charity shows but she receives a doll for every child whose life she helps make better through her efforts.

  Use felted wool sweaters to sew a mini felt tote adorned with felt flowers and other embellishments. Reinvent your old or damaged wool sweaters or pick some up from the thrift store for this clever sewing craft. Follow this sewing tutorial from Betz White to make a pretty mini tote for spring.   Materials : Wool Sweater, "felted" by washing in hot water Felt scraps (either from felted wool sweaters or wool craft felt) Assorted buttons Sewing Machine (optional) Craft Glue Needle and thread Instructions: Make Pattern and Cut- Using a piece of 8.5 x 11" office paper, measure a trapezoid following the measurements above. The top width of the bag will be 10", the bottom width will be 7", the height 8.5". The oval for the base should be 1" shorter in length than the width of the bottom of the bag, about 6". I made my base 3.5" wide. Using your paper pattern, cut out 2 trapezoid sides and one oval base. I lucked out and found this sweet pink sweater with a basket weave look. Any sort of texture or pattern would be adorable for this. Cables, fair isle, etc. Note that a fair isle will tend to felt more firmly due to the stranding on the back. A ribbed texture may not appear to felt at all.     Sew Sides and Base- Right sides together, pin then sew side seams. Pin then sew oval base to bottom opening, aligning mid-points of oval to side seams. Resist the urge to zigzag your seam allowances. There is no need (the felted sweater will not ravel) and a zigzag will cause your seams to get all woopy. Trust me, I know woopy.     Hem Top Edge- Fold down 1" around the top opening. Pin, evenly distributing the fabric. Straight stitch 7/8" from the folded edge. The bulk and the flare of the trapezoid will cause the opening to curve out slightly giving it a cute basket-y shape. At this point, you could line the bag, if you are a liner. I'm not so much a liner. I'm a "hurry and get it done-r".     Cut Straps- For double handles, Cut 2 strips measuring approx. 2.5" x 11". Fold raw edges in toward each other. Butt edges together firmly and stitch down the center of the strap using a wide zigzag. Stitch the full length of the strap. (for a single handle, cut a strip measuring 3" x 14". Stitch as described above. This gives the tote more of a basket look.) Attach Handles- Pin handles to the inside hem of the opening, making sure they are spaced equally from the side seams. Stitch along the previous stitch line to secure. Gather some bright sweater scraps together for embellishment.     Add Leaves- I was going to make flowers all around the edge, but decided to start with leaves instead. (Why do I love pink and green?) The tote is pretty small and softly constructed. I didn't think it would hold up to a whole bouquet of flowers around the edge. Cut some simple leaves from scraps and glue into place. Pin until dry. (There will be plenty of hand sewing to come. Go ahead, glue the leaves.)     Make Flower Pieces- For my flower, I pretty much made my standard brooch. Cut scraps into strips. To make loopy petals, cut 2" x 6" strips, fold lengthwise and sew edge (yellow and dark pink above). For straight petals, cut a strip 1" x 4" (orange). Next you'll snip the strips every 1/4" to make petals.     Roll Petal Strips- Roll the strips up and hand stitch the base together catching all layers. Wrap with a second color strip and stitch. For the flower on this tote I cut a daisy shaped base and glued the rolled petals onto it.     Finishing Touches- sAfter making several flowers, I chose the one I liked best for this project. I sewed my flower in place then added a few vintage buttons for an extra dash of color. I like the different textures of the fuzzy felt with the smooth buttons. Besides, it's nice to have something pretty to look at when you're sitting in church all hopped up on Easter candy.  

  Humans are naturally social creatures, craving connections with people, including intimacy and love. Whether you're searching for someone or striving to improve the relationship you're in, it helps to know the hallmarks of a strong relationship. The 10 signs of a healthy relationship include basic principles such as communication and appreciation, as well as tips for handling arguments and conflict.   1. Trust : Trust is an essential element for all relationships. Each partner should have faith in the other. You should not have to wonder if your lover is telling the truth.   2. Respect : According to Teens Health, strong relationships must include mutual respect. Your partner should never put you down, mock you or make degrading remarks about you. When your lover appreciates and loves you for who you are, he will show respect for you.   3. Communication : Communication is the foundation of a healthy relationship. The University of Texas at Austin Counseling and Mental Health Center advises couples to set aside time to regularly check in with each other, so they can deal with any issues before they blow up or become unmanageable.   4. Flexibility : Life is constantly changing, and healthy relationships recognize that fact. Lovers need to be flexible to adapt to changes in each others' work, home and family lives, as well as changes in the dynamics and stages of the relationship.   5. Shared Interests : Sharing interests allows couples to bond and enjoy spending free time together. Many couples share a love of sports, movies, pets, cooking, fashion, travel, reading or art. Having at least one activity you enjoy doing together will bring you closer and offer a way to destress and reconnect during hard times.   6. Alone Time : Just as spending time together strengthens your relationship, having time apart is important as well. Couples need to remember that they had separate lives before falling in love, and maintaining separate interests gives each person breathing room. Both partners should have some regular alone time to enjoy individual interests and recharge.   7. Friends and Family : Healthy relationships include strong connections with friends and family. Although the beginning stages of falling in love can be intense and make you want to see no one but your lover, it's important to maintain your relationships with other people you care about with regular visits, outings and get-togethers. Strong relationships gain power from outside connections, keeping the relationship exciting and dynamic while preventing suffocation.   8. Compromise : Compromise is necessary in any relationship, whether you're at work or with your spouse. Both partners must be willing to make concessions to reach the common good. The best relationships include an equal amount of sacrifice from each partner, so no one feels taken advantage of or ignored.   9. Arguing Fairly : There comes a time in every relationship where arguments arise, and it is important that you both fight fair, expressing your own opinion and also listening to the other person's viewpoint. Techniques such as taking time to cool off, writing feelings in a journal and talking to a relationship therapist are all healthy ways to deal with emotional arguments.   10. Appreciation : It is important for each person to feel appreciated in a relationship. Praise your partner, offer compliments and use creative ways to show you care. Problems can arise when you or your partner feel unappreciated and taken for granted. The point of a relationship is to feel loved, so be sure you both show you care.

  How To Dress To Attract Men   Dress to look modern and stylish and feel self confident. Most people believe that dressing up in red attract more men as compared to other clothing colors. Dress up in shades of red and see if it works for you. Select the color of your dress first along with the fits and fabrics.   Go to a different store for shopping clothes than your regular one. Try on clothes that look different from those that you usually wear. Be daring and take a risk as you may look beautiful in a style different from your normal one.   Dressing yourself does not simply mean of putting something expensive on your body to attract a man. It is more about confidence, attitude and the ability to carry a dress.   You can go in for a new hairstyle to modernize your style. A new hair color can also be wonderful, but be subtle with your color change so that your hair color looks natural and suits your skin tone.   You can also consider buying a new make-up such as a slightly lighter or darker shade of foundation, powder, lipstick or eye shadow. Many departmental stores have samples of cosmetics that you can try before purchasing so; why not give it a try.   Nicely shaped and polished nails attract men. Toenails look lovely painted in a dark shade of red, while for your fingernails, you can prefer a more natural look.   Simplicity attracts more men. You can choose to be simple rather than putting too much color to your face. Avoid too much make-up in case you are allergic to the face powder or other cosmetics else you’ll just be scratching all over your face and have a bad impression on your man.   Get a friend’s advice on how you can dress up well to attract men or anyone. A friend who is real would definitely help you with your personality.   Be yourself. You do not have to show off what men want to see in you. Simply show what you are without hesitating and you are sure to find someone who’ll like your personality. Real relationships have a strong foundation and help build strong future relationships.

  1. One of the key things you need to do is first discover what sets you apart from the rest. Learn to accept the person you are and your unique qualities. The trouble with a lot of people hails when they fail to accept that they are different from the rest of their peers. If you will not accept your unique qualities, how can you expect the rest of the world to do so to?   2. If you want to be different from others the trick is to figure out you are really good at. Once you know what you are good at, what you really like to do and what actually makes you happy, you will see how special you are. One of the ways to different from others is by finding developing a good habit or a practice. Start at the personal or professional level and it should be unique to your personality!   3.Once you are aware of what you like to do differently, gather the courage to do them too. For example, there are tons of people who do not like watching a movie by themselves and most of them consider it to be weird too. However, if you like these forms of entertainment go ahead and be different from the majority of people. Even if you have to stop in the middle of the road to feed a beggar or a homeless child do it without bothering about the gawking onlookers!   4. Oh! People love to gossip, whether you do good or do bad, people always love to gossip. However, to be different from others, Learn not to indulge in gossiping. Some may say that it is a women's domain, but, there are guys too who have formed ‘gupshup circles'. A mindless and wasteful hour spent on gossiping is an act which renders you to be a typical example of the herd mentality. So it is better for you to stay away from it!   5. One of the best ways to be different from others is to always keep your knowledge-seeking thirst ongoing. You should keep yourself tuned to the advances in your fields of interest. Make use of any given opportunity to keep adding your skills. Keep in mind that there is never any limit to the amount you can learn.   6. Developing your own personality is one level of achievement to be different from others. The next which follows is implementing it and flaunting it. You should remember not to assert yourself, but to just be yourself at all times. If you have a style and it happens be different, flaunt nevertheless!

  1. Don't be too open at first : Easing into a relationship is about ensuring that there is plenty of space for the two of you to get to know one another and trust that you're right for one another. If you try too soon to "make" something more out of your relationship than it already is, premature pushiness can scare him away and spoil what is 'there' to be a good thing. Instead, be patient and realize that it takes time to nurture a solid and enduring relationship. If you want to make it last, avoid the following things. 2. Be honest : While being honest to your guy is very important, to the point of being paramount, it is equally important that you are honest with yourself. If you overreact or make a mistake, you can acknowledge your error and apologize. If you're feeling vulnerable or upset, you can sort through your feelings and verbalize them to him in a non-accusing way. 3. Speak your mind : Don't be afraid to make your desires, needs, and opinions known, even when they may conflict with his. You don't and shouldn't exist solely to please him. Besides, showing that you are your own person with your own needs, desires, and approach to life will keep him interested in getting to know and understand you as a person. If you're comfortable with speaking your mind, then he'll be comfortable with speaking his mind, too. 4. Be yourself : Don't create a fake you just to impress him. It might be tempting if you think he'd prefer a different type of girl but usually this is just cobbling together snippets of things said or suggested and you're likely to be wrong. After all, he wants to date you, not some imagined form of perfection. And if you really feel tempted to change things about yourself because he insists that you'd be better thinner, taller, prettier, quieter, whatever, then it's a good indication that you're not compatible.   Be Supportive   1. Take an interest in his interests : Remember what he likes to do and what he likes to talk about. You don't have to act like you love his hobbies, but at least try to understand why he's such a fan. If he loves a band, try to understand why. If he just loves to be playful and immature, remember that it might just be his way of releasing stress. In learning to accept his unique way of being, you'll also be learning more about yourself and ultimately whether you could see yourself spending the rest of your life with this person.   2. Learn to work as a team : As in any healthy relationship, you'll experience your share of conflicts, some tiny, some big. Remember to be true to yourself and try to abandon any significant selfishness. A relationship is a matter of teamwork and a symbiotic relationship, not a parasitic one, where a party gives and the other one just takes without giving enough back. In a team, you have each other's back, you don't undermine one another and you openly cherish each other in front of others.   3. Complement him more than you criticize him : If everything you say around him is a criticism or an attack, he won't look forward to seeing you and he'll start reconsidering being with you. All the same, you don't always have to agree with him just because he is your boyfriend. Tactfulness is a better strategy in mature relationships and establishing boundaries and making compromises are important relationship strategies to learn and adopt.   4. Learn to compromise : If you want to be a good girlfriend, then you have to learn to compromise instead of fighting or being angry the second you don't get your way. To compromise well, you both have to be able to calmly and rationally discuss a situation while understanding the other person's perspective. Try to understand where your boyfriend is coming from instead of blindly focusing on what you think you need.   5. Give each other space : You should support your boyfriend, but you should also be able to "be there" for him in spirit when you're not actually around. If you want to be a good girlfriend, then you have to make time to do your own thing, to hang out with your girlfriends, and to see your boyfriend. He should know that you're thinking of him and rooting for him even if you're not around. If you feel insecure and doubt the strength of your relationship the second you're apart, then you have a problem.   Be Loving :   1. Be affectionate : There are various ways to show your affection, some are more obvious than others and the way you approach this will depend on how openly affectionate you like to be personally. Affection is close to but not the same as intimacy––affection is about openly displaying that you care about this person and can be shown any time of day or night, publicly or privately. Think about how you like to show affection to people you care about, such as holding hands, touching an arm, quick kisses on the cheek, a hug, stroking hair, supportive words, mentioning how great someone is in front of other people, etc.   2. Give him gifts : When you're in a relationship, it's fun to give each other small gifts. Guys love to get presents and giving him one shows that he means a lot to you. Don't overdo it -- just give him a gift when you're feeling loving and want to let him know how much he means to you. You don't want him to think you're trying to buy his affection.   3. Don't get jealous : You should be loving, but not to the point where you start seeing red the second your boyfriends talks to, or even just mentions, another girl. Nothing will turn your boyfriend off faster that a girlfriend who is so insecure that she can't stand the other thought of other women existing in the universe. Your boyfriend will appreciate you even more if you're nice to his female friends instead of talking about how ugly or annoying any girl you see is.  

  DEEP CLEAN FIRST : Start your quest for fresh-smelling carpet with a clean slate that begins with deep cleaning. Rent a carpet cleaner from a home improvement store, or hire a professional cleaning company with good references. If you own a carpet cleaner, be sure that the machine itself (like the tanks) are clean and free of residue. LOSE THE SHOES : If you want to keep as much dirt as possible off your carpet, make sure shoes come off before anyone walks on it. Anything shoes have stepped on will stay on their bottoms rather than your nice clean carpet. RUGS : Keep rugs on your carpet in areas with high traffic. Places such as the front and back door areas should have a rug so that you can wipe your feet and leave your shoes there, instead of tracking mud and dirt throughout your home. VACUUM : To keep your carpet fresh, vacuum your home at least three times a week (every day if you have pets). This prevents the particulates from becoming airborne and creating nasty smells. Use a lightly scented carpet freshening powder, following the directions and vacuuming thoroughly afterward. Fabric refreshers can help eliminate odors harbored by your carpet, as well. HEPA : True HEPA vacuum cleaners (with airtight casings) remove particulates embedded in carpet fibers, preventing them from becoming airborne. If a true HEPA vacuum cleaner is not available, high-efficiency microfiltration vacuum bags will also trap very small particulates. Don't forget to clean your vacuum's filters to maintain its efficiency. AIR FILTERS : Changing your furnace's air filters regularly to improve the circulation of air in your home and maximize the particulate-catching efficiency of the air filter itself. RULES OF THUMB FROM THE EXPERTS : Rodney Brown, owner of Millicare Textile and Carpet Care in Tempe, Arizona, has two simple recommendations for maintaining the fresh smell and look of carpet: 1. Use soap-free chemicals when cleaning carpets. The soap residue acts as a magnet for dirt, just as shampoo would if you forgot to rinse it from your hair. Instead, try using water-based compounds. 2. Where possible, eliminate moisture that acts as a food source for smelly bacteria. If you have to spot clean, use a clean, white cloth dabbed in a solution of vinegar and water to blot the spot, repeating as many times as necessary until no more stain transfers to the cloth. Vacuum the carpet after the stain has been removed. A carpet can be the main decorating element of a room, and its cleanliness can make the difference between beautiful and dingy. Use these basic maintenance tips to enjoy a fresh, clean carpet.
