If you - a fan of the loft, the painting of the walls will not cause you difficulties. But for a more accurate and refined the work will have to call the painters, and perhaps even designer.

Tip: Personally, I believe that the excellent educational materials can be found on any manufacturer of building materials. They do not capture its atmosphere, but give clear instructions, explain the specifics of the process and share secrets with each specific paint.

2. Taking care of your car

Make sure that your machine will have a long life. Who said that the service is only for guys? You can fully monitor the condition of your car, in time to change the parts, control the level of oil and antifreeze.

Tip: If the car broke down on a trip, try not to panic and to remove the vehicle from the roadway. Use emergency signs such as reflective triangles. To evaluate the situation, count up what might be a problem - in the flat tire in problems with the gearbox, or simply failure of the bulbs and fuses. Remember that even a serious problem can be temporarily solved on the spot, to get to the car service.

To gardening, do not necessarily have a garden as in juice advertising. We can restrict goods from Ikea and a couple of hardy plants that fit perfectly in terms of your apartment.

The principle of the system is based on the fact that mitigate unpleasant actions and reactions to them your brain. At first, the cost of certain works to accustom themselves to the fact that to implement the plan, not just a grab for a vacuum cleaner before the arrival of the guests, but this method will allow you to refer to cleaning with a positive attitude.

9. Clothing repair

The loss of the buttons or a hole in your favorite dress should not overshadow life. Establishments emergency sewing kit and emergency situations will no longer arise.

Tip: It should be a thread, needles, thimbles and pins of various sizes. In my kit a few special adhesive tape, which help align the pieces of cloth.
