Perform dips, either on a set of bars or a raised ledge. Try close-armed or diamond pushups. Try out some L-sits to work your triceps and core simultaneously. Try triceps extensions on a horizontal bar or surface. Give handstand push-ups a shot to really shred your triceps.

Spray tanning is a form of sunless tanning where a fine mist that includes tanning ingredients is sprayed onto your body (the same ingredient in self tanning lotion). Spray tans are growing in popularity because they are safe, easy, and fairly long-lasting (typically 7 days). The biggest drawback of spray tanning is the cost - usually $25-$50. There are a few things you should do to prepare yourself before getting a spray tan.  Shave or wax before your appointment. This will help the tan to better soak into your skin. Exfoliate your skin prior to your appointment. Getting rid of as much dead skin as possible will get you better results. Don't apply lotion, deodorant, or makeup prior to your appointment. Clean skin will soak in the tan much better. Wait 8 hours after your spray tan to shower or apply any lotion / moisturizer. Tanning beds use ultraviolet light to create UV radiation. This UV radiation creates a glow to tan the skin, just like UV light from the sun. Although tanning beds have become fairly popular, there are many health risks (including skin cancer) associated with them, and you must be careful if you choose to tan this way.  If you decide to use a tanning bed, a time of 7-11 minutes is recommended. Even if you tan often, never go in a tanning bed for more than 20 minutes at a time. Tanning 1-2 times per week is the recommended amount. Always wear tanning lotion and goggles to protect your skin and eyes from the potential harm of the UV rays. Most cities have tanning salons, so go online to find the tanning salon closest to you. Prices will vary from salon to salon, but member packages are usually available to help you save money if you plan on tanning multiple times. It's easy to miss the sun in the dead of winter, which is one of the reasons many people choose to tan. If you decide to tan under UV rays and sun beds, it is imperative that you take care of your skin.  These methods of tanning come with a high risk of skin cancer and speed up your skin's aging process. Always wear tanning lotion...

TL;DR in English: Get a spray tan. Use a tanning bed. Take care of your skin.

Classically, dips are between parallel bars, where you lower yourself down until your elbows are at 90-degrees, arms parallel to the bars. You then push your body back up until your arms are straight, then repeat. But you can still do these triceps crushers even if you're without bars:  Find a sturdy table, ledge, chair, or stair step that comes up to roughly thigh level. Facing away from the ledge, use your hands to lower yourself to a "seated" position, as if there was an invisible chair in front of your object. Lower your but to the floor, keeping your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle behind you. Push back up to the "elevated" position. Repeat for 15-20 reps, doing three sets. The closer you move your arms together on a push-up, the more it will engage your triceps. The ultimate exercise, then, becomes diamond push-ups. To do them, simply use your thumbs and index fingers to form a diamond shape under your chest, entering otherwise normal push-up position:  Lower yourself slowly to the ground. Spring back up to the point just before your elbows lock out. Keep your neck and spine straight, not curved or hunched. This is a holding exercise, meaning you don't do reps, you simply hold the position, often timing out "sets" as 30-90 seconds of holding. L-sits are basically modified dips, but you can perform them on the floor or a set of parallel bars.  Pick yourself up by extending your arms straight down at your sides and pushing up. Stick your legs in front of you, forming an enormous L with your body. Keep your arms straight and strong as you hold your body above the ground of the bars. If you're struggling, rest one or both of your legs on something to keep them up while you work out your arms. You'll need a bar at about stomach height, the lower it is, the harder the exercise will be. These exercises work best if you keep your elbows in towards your ears and focus on using your triceps:  Hold the bar with your hands 4-5 inches apart, palms down. Place your feet together behind you, making a straight...

The introduction of the speech should be interesting and engage the audience. Some strategies you can use are: beginning with a rhetorical question, a quote, or a short anecdote. Any strategy is fine as long as it relates to being thankful and graduating. Try to keep this to 2-5 sentences (or 2 paragraphs for a speech longer than 5 minutes). A few examples are:  “What are you thankful for?” This is beginning with a rhetorical question, since the audience will not answer. As Willie Nelson once said, "When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around." This is beginning with a quote. “It was the first day of high school, and I stood outside the door of my first class, scared to go in. On the last day of high school, I left that same door feeling thankful.” This is beginning with an anecdote. This is where you get to thank your friends, family, teachers, and so on in depth. Look at your brainstorming notes, and write 1-2 paragraphs where you say who you want to thank and why in complete sentences. (2-3 for a speech longer than 5 minutes). Don’t spend more than 2-3 sentences talking about a single person unless you really want to emphasize being thankful towards them.  For example, you can say, “I would like to thank my friends and family for always inspiring me when I felt hopeless.” Another example is, “I want to thank Professor Z for helping me choose a major.” The body of the speech comes immediately after the introduction. Avoid insulting or offending those you are speaking to. Do not vent about problems or criticize others during this speech. Write 1-2 sentences (1 paragraph for a speech that is longer than 5 minutes) that summarize everything you just said. Make sure to refer back to your theme and tie everything together in these 1-2 sentences. The conclusion comes after the body of the speech, and it can be very simple. For example, you can just say “Thank you again.”  Another simple example is, “Once again, I am so lucky to have such great friends and family. Thank you.” You can end on...

Check that one of the racks inside your oven is in the top position so your grilled cheese cooks thoroughly. Turn the oven on to 450 °F (232 °C) and let it heat completely while you prepare your sandwiches. Once the oven is up to temperature, you can cook your sandwiches. You can also use a toaster oven if you don’t want to heat up your regular oven. Choose your favorite type of bread to use for your sandwich. Use 2 slices of the bread and spread room temperature butter on 1 side of each slice. Spread the butter to the edges of the slice to help get even browning and prevent them from burning.  Soften the butter if you don’t have any at room temperature so you don’t rip pieces off of your bread. Alternatively, you can spread mayonnaise on your bread instead of butter.

Maintaining good posture while you sit and walk is crucial for the shape, function and overall health of your spine. Good posture doesn't mean completely straight, but it does mean balanced and aligned, such that the normal shape of your spine isn't compromised. Slouching is a classic sign of poor posture, so keep your shoulders pulled back, head up and low back slightly arched when you sit and walk. Good posture is often a reflection of confidence and good health.  While at work, make sure your office chair is height-adjustable and has lumbar support for your low back. At home, use small cushions to support your back while watching TV. Make sure your computer is at eye level and centered in front of your chair, otherwise you risk straining your neck and triggering headaches. Practicing walking with a book balanced on your head may sound old school, but it's still a great way to learn good posture. Your sleeping position is another important element of body posture. You spend about 1/3 of your time in your bed, so pay more attention to the quality of your mattress and your sleeping posture. For many people, firm mattresses are the best choice in order to provide the necessary support for their spines. Memory foam top covers may also be of benefit and provide more comfort. You should consider changing spring mattresses every eight to 10 years, whereas memory foam mattresses may have a shorter life span — rotate them on a weekly basis to increase longevity. The thickness of your pillow should roughly match the width from your shoulder to your ear, which helps to keep your neck aligned during sleep.  Most medical / health authorities feel that the best sleeping posture is laying on your side with hips and knees slightly flexed, and with a small pillow wedged between your thighs.  Don't read in bed with too many pillows behind your head because it will put strain on your neck and act to reverse the normal curvature of your cervical spine. Your feet are important for good biomechanics (movement) and posture...

Don’t stop your medication. Talk to your doctor and let him or her know about persistent side effects. Discuss ways to manage them and still get the benefit you need from the medication. Sometimes, doses can be adjusted, timing can be altered, different medications can be tried, or you can be switched to or from a longer acting product that can help reduce your side effects.  You are the most important member of your healthcare team. Take an active role in monitoring your condition. This may lead to a lower dose if your condition is stable or improves. Take the medication properly. Take your dose(s) at the same time every day. Twice daily dosing is best at eight to ten hour intervals. Carvedilol is best absorbed if taken with food. By taking with food consistently, your body gets more from each dose and may lead to a good response that can allow you to talk to your doctor about trying a lower dose. Do not crush, open or break the tablets or capsules. Especially if you have the controlled release form of the medication. Some dosage forms allow for crushing or opening the capsule for people that have a difficult time swallowing. The crushed tablet or contents of the capsule can be spread on a small amount of applesauce or other food easy to swallow. Do not do this without making sure the tablets or capsules prescribed for you are safe to be crushed or opened. If you are allowed to break your tablets for dosing reasons, do not break more than what you immediately need. Many drugs lose their strength when exposed to air.

One of the major causes of morning back pain is a poor sleeping position during the night. Like sitting with poor posture in a chair all day, sleeping in a poor position all night will cause your back to become stiff and tense, leading to back pain in the morning (think about it: that's eight hours in a position that strains your back). Though it may be difficult to train your body to embrace a different sleep position than customary, it is worth doing as a way to prevent morning back pain.  Try to sleep on one side with your legs bent and tucked towards your chest. You can also place your hands by your head or under your pillow. This fetal sleeping position will put very little stress on your back and help to prevent stiffness and discomfort in the morning. You may also want to place a pillow between your legs while you lay on your side to help release tension in your lower back. Tuck the pillow between your knees and let your legs relax. If you tend to get the best sleep when sleep on your back, slide a pillow or a rolled towel under your knees before going to bed. This will help to relieve any stress or tension on your back as you sleep. If you are a light sleeper and tend to wake up throughout the night, make an effort to shift your sleep position so your back is better supported. This could mean moving from sleeping on your back to sleeping on one side in the fetal position. Or, you may place a pillow on either end of the bed to prevent you from rolling around onto your stomach or your back during the night. Over time, your body may adapt on its own to a sleep position that is better for your back. You should make sure you are sleeping on a good quality mattress that is not sagging in certain areas or lumpy. A good mattress can help to provide good support for your back as you sleep, especially if you tend to sleep on your back. You may want to invest in a mattress pad that you can place over your mattress to make it more comfortable and smooth, or consider getting a new mattress if your mattress is...

Use a solid color, or a combination of contrasting or complementary colors. For a whimsical look, paint the seat one color, the back another and the legs another. For subtle touches, paint the entire chair a solid color, then apply accents, such as striping or polka dots, using an alternate color or 2.  Stir the paint thoroughly before applying. Use a brush that's easy to hold and small enough to fit between all of the chair's components. It's typically easiest to turn the chair upside down and paint the legs first. When finished, stand the chair on back on its legs and paint the remainder of the chair. Use spray paint for fast results. Be sure to shake the canisters thoroughly before applying. Use several light coats rather than 1 heavy coat as this discourages drips. Use several light coats rather than 1 heavy coat as this discourages drips. Depending on the desired finish, use a matte, satin, or gloss coating. A spray finish is easy to apply, but a brush-on finish offers more control for even application. If you plan to add decorative decals to your newly painted chair, apply them before applying the protective clear finish. Allow the clear coating to dry per the manufacturer's instructions, and apply as many coats as desired.

Palms vary in size from relatively small Windmill and Sago Palms, to giants like Royal Palms and Queen Palms which, when grown, may tower fifty feet in the air. The amount of sunlight palm trees require, as well as the amount of cold they tolerate, also depend on species. Consult a list of some common palms used in landscaping, and their sunlight requirements and cold tolerances:  Warm weather palms:   Cuban or Florida Royal Palm. Cold tolerant to 22° F (-5° C); full sun to partial shade.  Sago Palms. Cold tolerant to 20° F (-6° C); filtered sunlight to full sun.  Canary Island Date Palm. Cold tolerant to 19° F (-7° C).  Queen Palm. Cold tolerant to 18° F (-7° C); full sun.   Cold weather palms:   Mexican Fan Palm. Cold tolerant to 15° F (-9° C).  Cabbage Palms. Cold tolerant to 12° F (-11° C); full sun.  Pindo Palm. Cold tolerant to 10° F (-12° C).  Chinese Windmill Palm. Cold tolerant to 8° F (-13° C); full sun. What size palm you select will depend largely on just three things:  Budget: Small palms cost less, big palms cost more. Small palms can cost as little as $100 while big behemoths can cost thousands of dollars. Aesthetics: Do you want to watch your palm grow, or do you want it to immediately fit into your landscape? Mature trees cost much more than immature trees. Maneuverability. Starting with mature palms is expensive, sometimes so big that they need to be trucked and craned into the site. If you're trying to plant in a location where maneuvering big trees is going to be hard, you may want to opt for a smaller one. Because large palm trees are extremely heavy and you may need to use heavy equipment during the planting process, it's best to look for an area that is easily accessible. Planting on an even, low slope in the front yard will be much easier than planting on a steep grade or in the back. Check into the property plat plan.

Read the labels on cans of paint carefully to see how much they cover. Get roughly 1 US gal (3.8 L) for every 400 sq ft (37 m2) if your walls are smooth. Buy approximately 1 US gal (3.8 L) for every 250 sq ft (23 m2) if your walls are rough. Get twice as much paint if you’re covering a color or adding 2 coats.

You will need a go-kart frame that is capable of housing the size and weight of your engine. Most 5 to 7 horsepower engines will fit a standard size kart. The vertical shaft engine you choose can be from a riding mower or a push mower, either will work for your go-kart. Larger engines in the 13 to 22 horsepower range, which you can find on riding mowers, may destroy the transmission or kart. You will want one that can support both your vertical shaft engine and lawnmower gearbox comfortably. Your gearbox should will need to have non-trans axle set-up. This will give you a better sense of the dimensions that will be comfortable for your frame. Most frames have a width that varies between 1/3 and 2/3's the wheelbase of your go-kart, with wider models giving better stability.

Many cans of paint list the number of square feet or meters that they cover on the label. This is mainly because certain styles of paint cover walls differently. If the paint can lists the number of square feet or meters that it covers, use that measurement to determine how many cans to buy instead of estimating. For example, if a 1 gallon (3.8 L) can reads that it covers 350 square feet (33 m2), and your wall is 10,000 square feet (930 m2), divide 10,000 square feet (930 m2) by 350 square feet (33 m2) to determine how many gallons (or liters) you need. If you have a new or refurbished home with smooth walls, your paint won’t have a hard time covering your drywall. Buy approximately 1 gallon (3.8 L) of paint for every 400 square feet (37 m2) that you’re going to paint.  This is a rough estimate. The texture of your walls, brand of paint, and the temperature of your room will all change the amount of paint you need to cover a wall. For example, if your sum total is 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) and your walls are even, divide 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) by 400 square feet (37 m2) to get 10.66 gallons (40.4 L). Always round up when you have a decimal or fraction at the end of your measurement for the paint. If you need more than 4 gallons (15 L), buy in 5 US gal (19 L) increments. Paint suppliers typically offer a discount for buying 5 US gal (19 L) containers instead of smaller 1 gallon (3.8 L) cans. If you’re painting exposed brick, stucco, or older drywall, your paint is going to have a rougher time soaking into the texture of your walls. Buy roughly 1 gallon (3.8 L) for every 250 square feet (23 m2) to play it safe. For example, if your sum total is 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) and your walls are kind of old, divide 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) by 250 square feet (23 m2) to get 17.06 gallons (64.6 L). If you’re going to be painting some red or green walls white, you’re going to need a lot more paint to cover your walls.

While they may not be able to figure out what the problem is, your hazard lights will tell other drivers to proceed with caution and pay  attention to what your vehicle is doing. Your hazard light button should be somewhere on your dashboard, and the symbol for them is an orange triangle inside an orange triangle. Lifting off the gas will begin to slow the car down, just by virtue of friction and gravity. Also, your cruise control system should turn off as soon as you touch the brake or clutch, but to be safe, make sure to switch it off manually. If you're driving a manual, press the clutch and downshift into the next gear down. This will begin to slow the car. Keep shifting down as you feel the car slow down. If you're in an automatic, use the gear selector to shift to second. Then, shift to first (also sometimes marked as "L" or "lower").  While you may be feeling panicked, you don't need to downshift all at once. Let the car slow down naturally if you're not in danger of hitting something. Most automatics have a second and first gear on the gear selector. If you have tap-to-shift, shift into manual "M" (generally to the right or left of "Drive" on console-shift vehicles or the bottom gear on column-shift vehicles) and press the minus button to shift down. Again, if you can’t go directly into the lowest range, try gradually shifting down. Look for a place to get off the road. You want to cause as little damage as possible to you and other vehicles, so get away from the main thoroughfare if possible. If you're on the freeway, get off it if you can. If you can't get off the freeway, use the shoulder. When your brakes fail, often they will only partially fail. You may still have some brakes in place, and pumping the brakes may be enough to slow you to a complete stop. After pumping a few times, press the brakes all the way to the floor to see if you have any pressure left. Pump quickly to build up friction. If you still aren't stopped, pull up on the emergency brake. That's usually the large lever that's next...

TL;DR in English: Turn your hazard lights on to warn other drivers. Take your foot off the gas and/or turn off the cruise control. Shift into a lower gear. Pull over to the side of the road. Pump the brakes to try to stop. Try the emergency (parking) brake at lower speeds.

Glass canning jars work well for this purpose. Fill the container to the top to minimize the amount of oxygen in the container. Break up 3 cinnamon sticks and immerse them in the milk. Bruise 1/4 cup (67 g) of fresh mint by rolling it between your fingers. Place it in the milk and stir it. Bruise 1/4 cup (67 g) of rose petals by rolling them between your fingers. Place them directly in the milk and stir them. Scrape the seeds from 1 vanilla bean into the milk. Stir them well.  Remove them and remove the plant or spice particles by pouring the milk through a metal strainer. Scented almond milk will have a mild flavor of the plant or spice. The act of breathing in the scent can make the taste of the milk more pleasing. These milks are great to use on desserts, granola or in smoothies and shakes. You can also add honey or agave syrup to create a sweeter flavor in your scented milk.

Since crushed ice is already broken down (and a little easier to blend) than cubed ice, it’s going to create a creamier consistency. If you don’t have crushed ice, use a food processor to crush up the ice into bean-sized chunks beforehand. Cover the blender with a lid and blend the ingredients until it’s close to the consistency of a milkshake. If you see large clumps of ice (bigger than the size of a pea), keep blending until they’re not noticeable.  How long you need to blend it depends on the power of your blender, so check it every 30 to 45 seconds if you’re not sure. If the mixture has the consistency of thin milk, add nonfat dry milk powder about 2 tablespoons (6.0  tsp) at a time until you have a thicker, creamy consistency. Place the container as far back into the freezer as possible to speed up the process. You can even wedge it between other frozen items to make it go even faster. You can take it out sooner if you’re ready to eat it, but note that some parts may be less solidified than others. If you like your ice cream super soft, take it out at the 2 hour mark. Add fresh cherries, sliced bananas, granola (or crushed graham crackers/waffle cones), and chocolate syrup to make a sundae.  Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (3.0  tsp) of coconut flakes over the top with a few small chunks of fresh mango for a tropical-tasting treat. Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to a week. Wrap the top with saran wrap (before putting on the lid) to keep the top from frosting over!

Acknowledge and learn the cause your embarrassment. Recognize that you are not alone. Accept your feelings. Become familiar with the product.

Make sure that you put the gloves on before you begin mixing any bleach. Bleach can be very damaging to skin and fabrics, so the towel will protect you and your clothes from any bleach that drips from your hair  Many bleach kits will come with the gloves for you to use, but your own plastic or latex gloves are also fine. A hairdressing cape will also work well instead of an old towel if you have access to one. The ratio of the bleach powder to the developer will be specified on the bleach kit box. Make sure that you use a non-metallic bowl. Place an old towel beneath the bowl to avoid the bleach damaging the surface. Remove this section from the plastic clip, and keep the rest of your hair clipped back. This section should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick if you have thin hair, or thinner if you have thick hair. Bleaching your hair in small sections will make sure that the bleach is applied thoroughly and evenly throughout. Make sure that the bleach covers the full length of your hair, but leave the roots uncovered since the bleach may irritate your scalp. Brush the bleach through in the same direction that your hair grows, starting at the top and ending at the tip. Work as quickly and carefully as possible, so that the first section doesn’t lighten too much before you have put the bleach into the last section. Apply bleach to this side too, brushing it through in exactly the same way. This will ensure that you don’t accidentally miss a spot. You can group this section together, and clip it back with a plastic clip again to keep it out of the way while you bleach the rest of your hair. Repeat the bleaching process through the rest of the first quarter, the other back quarter, and the two front quarters.  Remember to leave the roots unbleached for now. By the time you have finished the final front quarter, the first back quarter will be starting to lighten. After you have bleached all of the sections of your hair, you can also do the same to the 1 cm (0.4 in) of root hair. Bleach can make your scalp feel itchy...

TL;DR in English: Put on disposable gloves and drape an old towel over your shoulders. Mix together the bleach powder and the developer with the tint brush. Take a thin section of hair from one of the back quarters. Apply the bleach to this section using the tint brush. Flip the first section over to show the side that hasn’t been bleached. Continue applying bleach to thin sections until each quarter is complete. Apply bleach to your roots if you want them bleached too.

In order to manage your embarrassment, you first need to own it and understand it. Embarrassment is the feeling of awkwardness or humiliation when we believe we are being negatively evaluated by another.  Learn why you get embarrassed about buying sexual items in order to fully grasp what may need to change (thoughts or behaviors) in order to reduce your embarrassment. Identify what thoughts result in you feeling embarrassed about buying personal or sex-related items. Is it because you are worried about what other people are thinking about you? Is it because you are afraid you will run into someone you know? Understanding the specific components that produce embarrassment or fear for you will be helpful in developing ways of coping with the situation. For example, most individuals who purchase condoms do so by going to a store. Only about 5% of people get them from a medical clinic, and even less (.4%) purchase them online. Additionally, one study showed that approximately 55% of men and about 69% of women found condom purchasing to be embarrassing. This means it is quite common to feel embarrassed when buying personal or sex-related items.  When you are worried about the situation, remember that most people who buy personal products such as condoms, go to a store to do it. If they can do it, so can you! When you are worrying about feeling embarrassed while buying a personal product, remind yourself that others feel similarly in your situation. Acceptance of your emotions is crucial to becoming motivated to better yourself and make positive changes, such as confidently buying personal items. Also, as previously stated, over half of shoppers report feeling embarrassed when buying items like condoms. Accept that embarrassment is a normal and natural emotion, especially when dealing with buying private items. When you are feeling embarrassed, think to yourself, “It is okay that I am feeling this way. Many people feel embarrassed in this very situation.” Studies suggest that the more comfortable and familiar you...

Practice deep breathing before you start. Take your time. Focus on your partner. Communicate during sex. Take a break from intercourse for a while.

Only use gentle cleaning techniques Consider using home remedies to cleanse your skin Use natural moisturizers Try an oil cleanse to clear out your pores.

Take a moment to focus on your breathing before initiating sex. Use that time to clear your head of any thoughts that might distract you or cause you additional anxiety. If you find it impossible to let go of the stresses from that day, try having sex on a less-stressful day instead. Trying and failing when you can't clear your mind will only cause further stress and anxiety. It may also help to meditate before having sex as meditation is known to alleviate anxiety. Some doctors and couples therapists recommend slowing down during foreplay to help ease into sex. Focus on touching/caressing your partner, and take your time during foreplay to get comfortable with one another and ensure that your partner's needs are met. This can help take some of the pressure off. Practice mindfulness during sex. Think about how each part of your body feels and how you are connected to your partner. You can enjoy sexual play without an orgasm. Try to enjoy the time you're spending with your partner and allow yourself to be happy in the moment, no matter what happens. Try to remove expectations. Taking away the expectations associated with sex can help alleviate some of the pressure you might be feeling. Enjoy every sensation you are having with your partner, and communicate throughout the experience with your partner. Communication can help alleviate a lot of anxiety and ensure both you and your partner are comfortable throughout the experience. Tell your partner when you like something while it's happening. Sex therapists will often advise a couple to abstain from intercourse until the affected partner can overcome his or her anxiety associated with performance. Even if you don't think you need a break from sex, it's important to allow yourself to simply not want sex from time to time. This can help take some of the pressure off of performance anxiety.

TL;DR in English: Practice deep breathing beforehand. Take your time. Focus on your partner. Communicate during sex. Take a break from intercourse for a while.

. If you want to remove blackheads naturally, it's important to separate the astringent cleaners from the gentle cleaners to keep your skin as healthy as possible. It's likely you'll want to avoid harsh, alcohol-based cleaners, as well as chemical-based commercial cleansers. It's also important to be gentle with your skin as you wash. Don't pick at your blackheads, or scrub your skin vigorously. Only use gentle scrubbing, even if you're exfoliating. You don't need to dig at your skin to keep it clean. . Done properly and applied in the correct way, home remedies can be crafted using a wide variety of ingredients that are effective at tightening, soothing, and exfoliating your skin, making your skin more inhospitable to blackheads. . Using natural-based moisturizers is essential to healthy skin. While many associate oiliness with blackheads, it's true that using excessive products that dry out your skin will actually end up making your skin oilier in the long run. Remember to moisturize regularly with natural plant-based oils and moisturizers to keep your skin healthy. There are many types of oil you can use, such as olive, avocado, or almond oil. Pour 1–2 teaspoons (4.9–9.9 ml) of the oil into your hand and gently massage it into your skin for 1-2 minutes to remove dead skin, makeup, or dirt. Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe the oil off your skin to keep your face hydrated without it looking greasy. When you’re finished, pat the area dry with a clean towel.Mix a few drops of essential oil into the oil if you want to make it scented.

Get a haircut. Experiment with color. Use hot rollers. Get a perm.

Following a shower, your shower’s walls are covered in water, soap, and dirt particles. When left on the walls, soap scum is formed and mildew and molds grow. To prevent the build up of these items, squeegee your shower walls and door after each use. Run over the walls and corners with a clean, dry towel to soak up any remaining water. Leave the shower door ajar to allow the area to dry.   Maintaining this daily routine will make it easier to clean your travertine shower. To eliminate soap scum, switch from bar soap to liquid soap. While wiping down your shower walls after each use will dramatically decrease the presence of soap scum, mildew, and mold, trace amounts of these items will cover your shower walls. Clean your  shower every one to two weeks.  Spray the walls and shower door with a gentle cleaner. Allow the product to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Buff the travertine stone, glass, and metal fixtures with a clean microfiber cloth. Eradicate mineral build-up with a stone scrub, an abrasive cleaner that should be used with caution on polished surfaces. Spray the treated area with a gentle cleaner and blot with a microfiber cloth. Constant exposure to water can damage travertine tiles, ruin grout, and encourage the production of soap scum, mildew, and mold. To maintain a clean, structurally sound shower, conduct a deep clean and an assessment every six months.  Treat your walls with a soap film remover to remove soap scum build up. Allow the product to sit for a few minutes before polishing it off with a microfiber rag. Target mildew and mold in your shower with a mild mildew remover. After allowing product to sit for a few minutes, remove the residue with a clean microfiber rag. Examine your grout and search for cracks and holes. If you discover any missing grout, repair it immediately—cracks and holes in the grout may lead to extensive water damage. Allow the repaired grout to cure for 7 to 10 days. Observe the tiles for discoloration. If you spot a dark tile that was once light, this is a sign of water...

TL;DR in English: Squeegee and wipe down your shower after every use. Clean your shower every one to two weeks. Deep clean and assess the integrity of your travertine twice a year.

The longer your hair is, the heavier it will be, which explains why long hair often lacks volume. Therefore, one of the fastest ways to add volume is to get a haircut. Some well-placed, expertly cut layers, or even a blunt-ended cut can immediately make hair lighter and fuller -- not to mention healthier looking.  Go to a hair stylist who you trust and who listens to exactly what you're asking for. A good, professional haircut will give more life to your hair than any product or styling method. Bring photos of your desired style so that you can show the stylist exactly what you want. For best results, look for photos of people who have a similar face shape and hair texture as yours. Well-placed highlights and lowlights can give the impression of depth and thickness to your hair, making it appear more voluminous than it actually is. Dark colors will also make your hair look thicker than lighter ones, so consider going a shade or two darker to give the illusion of volume. A professional color job or set of highlights will do much more for your hair than a home dye kit. This is due to the fact that trained hairdressers can mix different shades and tones to find a color that's just right for you, giving your hair an added dimension that just cannot be achieved out of a box. Hot rollers are an excellent way to add bounciness and volume to your hair, with a touch of pin-up girl glamour. If you're not looking for tight curls, don't worry -- bigger rollers will add volume and life, but won't give a huge amount of curl to hair. When using, make sure the rollers are heated to the correct temperature before putting them in.  Use the hot rollers on day old hair, if possible. Comb out any tangles to create a smooth base. Start with the front sections, rolling the the hair away from the face rather than underneath. Once all of the rollers are in, let them sit in the hair for 10 to 15 minutes or until they have cooled completely. Liberally apply hairspray all over your head before removing the rollers. Once out, use your...

Rinse 1 cup (225 g) of rice in a strainer with cool water. Turn the rice cooker on and let it cook until it turns off. Leave the rice in the rice cooker, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes.

If you want to know the date, use the phrase "¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy?" (coo-AHL ess lah FAY-chah day oy). This question means "What is today's date?" While there are other ways to ask for the same information, this is the most common. The day of the week can be just as important as the specific date, especially when planning future events. If you learn how to say the date in Spanish, it's also a good idea to know how to say the days of the week in case you're asked.  Sunday is domingo (doh-MEEN-goh). Monday is lunes (LOO-nays). Tuesday is martes (MAR-tays). Wednesday is miércoles (mee-AIR-coh-lays). Thursday is jueves (hoo-AY-bays). Friday is viernes (bee-AIR-nays). Saturday is sábado (SAH-bah-doh). In Spanish, unlike in English, the definite article el (meaning "the") is always used before a date or a word for the day of the week. While you may hear the plural los used, the word el when used with a date or day of the week can be considered singular or plural. For example, if someone asked you in Spanish what your favorite day of the week was, you could reply "el viernes" or "los viernes." This response could be translated either as "Friday" or "Fridays." If you want to know what day of the week it is, you'll usually ask "¿Qué día es hoy?" (kay DEE-ah ess oy). Be careful with this question, though, because it is sometimes interpreted as asking for the date. You can also drop the hoy from the end and simply ask "¿Qué día es?" The verb hacer means "to do" or "to make" in Spanish, but when it is accompanied by "que," it can be used as a time expression. One of the primary uses of this verb in Spanish is talking about actions that happened in the past.   Hacer + length of time + que (KAY) + the past tense conjugation of the verb describes an action that occurred at a particular point in time in the past. For example, you might say "Hace tres años que empecé a trabajar aquí" to mean "I started working here three years ago." To talk about a past action that continues into the present, use hacer with the present...

TL;DR in English: Ask what the date is. Learn the days of the week. Use el when talking about days or dates. Ask what day of the week it is. Use the verb hacer (HAH-say) in common time expressions. Include the word desde for "since. Learn other words to reference time.

Use your hands to gently sift the rice so that every grain gets rinsed off. Keep doing this until the water runs clear. You may be able to cook more or less rice, but this may affect the cooking time. Simple rice cookers typically have an on/off switch, but fancier rice cookers may have multiple cooking options. In this case, you'll need to select the correct cooking option before it starts cooking the rice. Which cooking option you select depends on the type of rice cooker you have as well as the type of rice you are using: short, medium, or long grain. This allows the steam to escape from the cooker at a slower rate, resulting in fluffier rice. If you don't do this, the grains may appear mushy, sticky, or clumpy. Do not take the lid off. If you do, the steam will escape too fast and ruin the texture of the rice.

The best bag for this is a thin, cheap, trashcan liner. It should be translucent or clear. Do not use a regular trash bag; it will be too heavy. You can also use a dry cleaning bag instead. If you do, make sure that it is the short kind used for shirts; be sure to tape the hole at the top of the bag. Do not use plastic grocery bags. They are too small and too heavy. Place the opening of the bag in front of a small fan. Make sure that there are no gaps. Turn the fan on. The bag should fill up like a balloon. If it does not fill up, it may have some holes. Find these holes and cover them with a piece of scotch tape. The day should be cool; the balloon will not fly well on a hot day. Make sure that there is no wind; even the slightest breeze will keep the balloon from flying. The best time to fly would be at dawn or dusk as the weather is the most still. Cold, winter days with high pressure are the best for flying. You can also fly your balloon inside. Make sure that there is a lot of space, and that there are no curtains or carpets inside. If the balloon lands close to one of those, you could start a fire. A great place to fly is in a garage or a school gym. You will be working with fire, so you want to be safe. If you are a child, make sure that you have an adult with you at all times.

TL;DR in English: Find a thin, plastic bag. Make sure that the bag does not have any holes by putting it in front of a small fan. Check the weather if you are planning on flying outside. Choose a large, empty room if you are planning on flying inside. Keep a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher near by.

Wash your hair thoroughly every time you bathe, or every other time, if you have especially dry or damaged hair. Shampoo first and rinse completely, then apply conditioner and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Work the lather into your scalp to wash away dirt and oil, and condition the shaft down to the tips. Use hair products that contain healthy vitamins, proteins and oils so that your hair will stay strong and healthy.  Washing your hair too much can also damage it. Your hair needs a light coating of natural oils, so consider only shampooing every other day (or even every two days for those with curly, frizzy hair) and use a little conditioner on the ends in the meantime.  Cleansing conditioners and natural shampoos that make use of essential oils can also get your hair clean without drying it out. Invest in a good soft-bristled brush or wide-toothed comb and use it often. Combing and brushing rids hair of pesky knots and tangles, which can cause damage if left untreated. If you want the kind of smooth, flowing, silky hair you see on your favorite celebrities, you should make frequent brushing a hair care priority.  Brush your hair before you shower to prevent it from being poofy once it dries. Choose a brush that works best for your hair type and the style you’re trying to achieve. Too much straightening, curling and blow drying robs your hair of its natural moisture and leads to breakage. Use these styling techniques sparingly, and make sure to protect your hair with heat-treatment products when you do. If you usually blow dry your hair, start using a medium or low heat setting instead of turning it on full blast. It will take longer, but you’ll have luxurious hair to show for it.  Use quick, smooth strokes when straightening, and low heat when curling, to minimize the damage that the heat does to your hair. Pulling your hair back too tight, wearing a hat all day or spending a lot of time in the sun can also be bad for your hair. Just like heat, the chemical agents in certain hair products can strip and...

Observe the color of the mother’s eyes. Factor in the mother’s eye color. Know the eye colors of all 4 grandparents. Look at the eye color of both parents’ siblings.

Clean yourself up. Dress well. Approach with confidence. Start a conversation. Respect her personal space.

Babies inherit genes from both the mother’s side and the father’s side to determine eye color. This means that the mother’s eye color will have a direct influence on the baby’s eye color, though they may not be the same. The first step to a good prediction is to note the eye color of the mother as one of the following:  Brown Blue Green Hazel Since only 50% of the genes determining eye color come from the mother, the father’s eye color should also be noted. Again, the baby’s eye color could be different from either or both parents, but knowing the parents’ eye colors gives you a starting point. Label the dad’s eye color as brown, blue, green or hazel. This is most helpful when the two grandparents from either side have different colored eyes. By comparing their eye colors, you can learn more about the genes that their children (including one of the baby’s parents) carry. Parents’ siblings can also shed light on the variety of genes in the family. When siblings have different eye colors, it can indicate that the parents carry two different genes for eye color (heterozygous) instead of two copies of the same gene (homozygous). This information can help determine whether the baby’s parents are heterozygous or homozygous, and increase the accuracy of your prediction.

First impressions make a difference. Good hygiene shows that you take care of yourself. Take a shower every morning. Wash your hair, put on deodorant, and possibly use a small amount of cologne or perfume. Bad odors, among other problems, are distracting and cause people to not want to be around you. When you use cologne or perfume, add only a small amount to your neck, chest, and shoulders. She should be able to smell it up close without it overwhelming her senses. Clothes and hairstyle are also factors in how people judge you. If your hair is long and greasy and you wear stained sweatpants, chances are the girl will think of you in a negative way, making her feel uncomfortable. Buy yourself clothes that flatter your figure. A style that looks unique on you without being too flashy will help her appreciate you. If you don’t feel comfortable, chances are she won’t feel comfortable either. Anytime you seek her out, display your best self. This means going up to her, maintaining eye contact, and speaking loudly and clearly. To do this, practice being natural. Look into a mirror as you speak, maintaining eye contact with yourself.  Even if you feel nervous around her, slow down. Breathe deeply, speak slowly, relax, and focus on her. Be your natural self.  If you’re going to be at the same place a girl is, such as school or a party, try getting to the place early. This gives you time to get accustomed to the environment before it becomes more crowded and busy. Avoid any bad habits that would make her uncomfortable, such as swearing, telling inappropriate jokes, or fidgeting. Start with small questions, such as “That’s a nice tattoo, what does it mean?” Avoid asking deep questions, as these are too personal too soon. Instead, let her answer and then add to the conversation, such as by talking about something a little personal such as your own tattoos. Everyone has boundaries about how physically close someone cannot be. Moving into this space too fast and being unwelcome is a sure way to make a girl feel...

Always check to be sure that the weapon is unloaded and that the safety is on. Keep your gun pointed toward the ground when you are not firing. You should also get in the habit of wearing earplugs and safety glasses when shooting. As you step up to the shooting block, breathe air deeply into your lungs and let it out in a smooth exhale. Repeat this a few more times until you feel any nervousness dissipate. You can do this every time before you call for the clays to be released. One leg should be placed a bit in front the other and slightly bent. Keep your rear leg as straight as possible. Bend a little at your waist, but not enough to be hunched over. You should feel as if you are angled just a tad bit forward, as if you are leaning into the shot. Maintaining this position for every shot will make it easier to manage your gun’s recoil. It will also let you stay flexible enough to track the clay bird in the sky. Since the clay bird will be moving across the sky, you’ll need to track it with both of your eyes. If you close one of your eyes, you’ll eventually lose sight of the target and miss your shot. However, be aware that one of your eyes will be more dominant than the other. This means that you may need to slightly squint the less dominant eye if you are consistently missing shots. Slowly and smoothly place the butt of the stock against your shoulder until it feels secure, but not painful. The more contact the butt of the stock has with your shoulder, the less you’ll feel the recoil. Use your hands to hold the gun firmly and adjust your shooting elbow until it is horizontal with the ground. Your cheek should rest solidly against the comb (top of the stock) of your gun. This will also help to minimize the recoil. If this is uncomfortable, try securing a towel or other padding to the comb. ” When you are comfortably in position, loudly and clearly call out “pull.” This will result in the release of a clay bird from the trap house located in the center of the target field. When the clay bird is released, move...

Aloe vera is a versatile remedy that helps reduce both the swelling and the burning sensation resulting from a swollen lip.  After the cold compress therapy (see the step above), apply aloe vera gel over the fat lip. Reapply as often as needed throughout the day. Black tea contains compounds (tannins) that help reduce swelling in the lip.  Prepare black tea and cool it. Dip in cotton ball and place over the fat lip for 10 to 15 minutes. You can repeat the treatment a few times a day for quick results. Honey acts as a natural healer as well as an antibacterial and can be used to treat a swollen lip in addition to many other remedies.  Apply honey over the fat lip and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse it off and repeat a few times a day as needed. Turmeric powder works as an antiseptic and has healing properties. You can easily make a paste with this powder and apply over the lip.  Mix turmeric powder with fuller’s earth and water and make a paste. Apply over the fat lip and let it dry. Wash off with water and repeat as needed. Baking soda can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with the fat lip and can also help reduce  swelling.  Mix baking soda with water to make a paste. Apply over the fat lip for a few minutes, then wash off. Repeat as needed until the swelling is gone. Salt water can be used to reduce swelling and, if the fat lip was associated with a cut, to kill bacteria that might otherwise cause an infection.  Dissolve salt in warm water. Soak a cotton ball or a towel in the salt water and place over the fat lip. If there is a cut, there may be a burning sensation but this should go away after a few seconds. Repeat once or twice a day as needed. Tea tree oil has anti-inflammatory properties and is used as an antibiotic to fight bacterial infection. Always dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil to prevent skin irritation.  Dilute tea tree oil with another oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil or aloe vera gel.

Think about a few things that scare you or make you nervous. Write them down on a list, and put a star next to the one you want to start with. You can tackle the others later. Your list may include things like: “Go skydiving, read Moby Dick, write a short story, go on a blind date.” Come up with a reason (or a few) that you want to tackle this obstacle. Ask yourself what you're going to get out this new experience. Once you have your answer, write it down on a piece of paper and keep it with you. This can be a little phrase you repeat to yourself every time you're thinking about backing down. If you're going on a blind date, for example, you might tell yourself: “I've gone on lots of dates I set up myself, and I haven't met someone I can picture myself with long term. This could be my chance!” Doing something new on your own can make it even more challenging. There's no reason you can't rely on friends or family to help you get out of your comfort zone! Pick someone who's naturally adventurous to be your partner in trying new experiences. Your partner-in-crime should be aware of what you are doing and want to go along with it, too. You might be shying away from trying this new activity because you feel like you're facing a big question mark. To answer all your lingering questions, go online and read about it. Look for reputable information that can help you feel more knowledgeable and prepared.  Try for .gov, .org, or .edu websites when you can. Otherwise, be sure to avoid sites with misspellings or formatting problems. The internet can sometimes be overwhelming. While it's a great idea to be more informed, don't dig so deep that you start scaring yourself with scenarios that are unlikely to happen to you. For example, perhaps you're thinking about moving to a New York City for a promotion, but you've never lived in a city before. Read everything you can about New York to learn how to live there safely and happily. You can find the best neighborhoods for your personality and needs, and get excited about all...

Choose a bowl that is a little bit larger than you think it needs to be. This will make mixing the pasta and sauce a lot easier. It will help prevent any bits of pasta from escaping. You will be adding the rest of the sauce later. It is easier to mix in small amounts of sauce at a time. Use a large spoon or spatula. Try to use a rolling motion, where you bring the pasta from the bottom of the bowl to the top. Use that same rolling motion as before, where you scooped the pasta from the bottom of the bowl to the top. At this point, you can add in some extras to give your pasta some extra flavor. What ever you choose to add in should already be cooked and cut into small, bite-sized pieces (or smaller). Here are some ideas for popular add-ins:  Bacon or ham Broccoli Cauliflower Mushrooms and onions Peas and carrots Peppers This sort of dish is best served warm. The longer it sits, the more greasy and oily it will become.

On inkjet printers, the printer rollers are typically located on the underneath side. You can usually find them if you remove the paper tray and look right above where the paper tray used to be. The rollers should rotate manually when you apply pressure to them. If not, you will need to use the “feed paper” option on your printer to rotate them. Either way, you shouldn’t need to remove them entirely for the cleaning process. Pour some distilled water into a cup and dip your lint-free cloth into it. You want the cloth to be damp, but not soaking wet. Wipe the damp cloth across the surface of the rollers to remove any dirt or grime that has built up over time. Be sure to fully rotate the rollers so that you can clean each part of the surface area. Make sure you dry off the rollers completely before using your printer again. In order to help the rubber printer rollers regain some of their original slickness and glide, you should use a rubber rejuvenating product. Simply moisten the end of a Q-tip or foam swab with the product and rub it lightly over the surface of the printer rollers. You should be able to purchase a rubber rejuvenating product at any computer or office supply or store.

TL;DR in English: Locate the printer rollers. Clean rollers with a lint-free cloth and water. Use a rubber rejuvenating product.

To ensure that the oven is hot enough when it's time to bake the brownies, set it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Next, line a 9-inch by 9-inch (23-cm by 23-cm) baking dish with parchment paper or foil, and then grease it with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Make sure you know how your oven indicates that it's fully preheated. In most cases, a light will flash or a beep will sound to alert you. Place 1 ¼ sticks (142 g) of unsalted butter, cut into pieces, in a small sauce pan, and heat over medium low heat until the butter melts. That should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes, but don't try to rush the process by turning up the heat. Remove the pan from the heat once the butter has melted.  It helps to stir the butter with a wooden spoon while it's on the stovetop to make it melt more quickly. If you're in a hurry, you can melt the butter in the microwave. Cut the butter into pieces, place it in a microwave-safe dish, and microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds or until it's fully melted. Once the butter is completely melted, mix in 1 cup (200 g) of granulated sugar and ¾ cup (88.5 g) of unsweetened cocoa powder into the butter. Use a whisk to completely combine the ingredients. After you've blended the butter and cocoa mixture completely, mix in ½ teaspoon (3 g) salt, 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Whisk the mixture continuously to ensure that the eggs are fully combined. It's a good idea to crack the eggs into a separate dish before adding them to the other ingredients in case one or both are rotten. You don't want to ruin the entire batter by adding a bad egg. When the eggs are completely incorporated into the batter, add in ½ cup (62.5 g) all-purpose flour. Stir the batter until the flour is just combined, and set the batter aside until you're ready to assemble the full brownies. Avoid overmixing the flour into the batter. It can lead to a tough, chewy brownie layer in your finished bars.

Look for a change in your man’s sex drive. See if your man is suddenly showering you with kindness. See if he is suddenly much more helpful. Look for changes in your man’s mood. See if he is suddenly much more helpful. Look for changes in your man’s mood

Research the iguana lifestyle. Plan where your cage will go. Consider the type of enclosure that is right for you.

There are two changes to look for here. The more obvious one is that if your man is seeing someone else, he may not be excited about sex anymore. If your sex life has been dwindling for a while, then not having much sex doesn’t mean your man is cheating, but if he used to be excited about getting into bed with you and isn’t anymore, it may be a sign that he’s getting it elsewhere.  Another change you may notice is that suddenly your man has an insatiable sexual appetite. This may mean that his sex drive has become more intense because he’s sleeping with another lady. See what he’s like in bed. Is he suddenly much more adventurous than before? Has he always stuck to the same routine and is he now trying to spice things up every time you get into bed? He may be getting his moves from another woman. You should also see if he’s suddenly shy with his body around you and doesn’t want you to see him with his shirt off. If he only wants to have sex in the dark, then it may be because he does not feel right about sharing his body with two women. He may be much nicer to you because he feels guilty for being unfaithful. If he’s been distant or uncommunicative, or if he just isn’t a very demonstrative person, but he’s suddenly being very kind and sweet, and always telling you nice things, then it may be because he’s trying to compensate for seeing someone on the side.  But then again, he could just be being nicer because you are going through a rough patch and he is trying to make it up to you. If he suddenly brings you flowers, chocolate, and sweet cards, he could just be trying to be bringing back that loving feeling. Alternatively, he may be compensating for cheating. If your husband is not normally too handy around the house, but now he’s doing the dishes, doing the grocery shopping, or even doing the cooking, then something may be up. He’s certainly trying to compensate for something, and it may be cheating. But again, maybe he’s just trying to be nice suddenly, or wants something else from you as a result. Still,...

TL;DR in English: Look for a change in your man’s sex drive. See if your man is suddenly showering you with kindness. See if he is suddenly much more helpful. Look for changes in your man’s mood. See if he’s changed his habits around his phone. Check out his behavior near his computer. Pay attention to his excuses. Notice what he says.

The environment an animal needs to thrive as a pet depends on several factors, including:  The size of the adult animal. Most people purchase a baby iguana when it is only a few inches long, but adult iguanas can reach 20 pounds and 5-7 feet from the tip of their tail to their nose. They live to be about 20 years old and reach their full size at about 2-3 years. It is crucial that iguana habitats are built to accommodate this size. The type of habitat it has in the wild. Because an animal's natural habitat is ideal for its temperament, habits, and adaptive traits, the environment you construct must mimic the natural habitat to the greatest extent possible. Wild green iguanas are naturally found in rain forests throughout Mexico and Central and South America.  Its habits. In the wild, iguanas live in trees and rarely come to the ground. They are good jumpers, and they enjoy swimming. They are diurnal, which means they sleep at night and are active during the day, and because they are cold-blooded they tend to sunbathe in the morning to raise their body temperatures. Knowing these features of iguanas can help you to prepare the optimal environment. Because iguanas can grow as large as 6 feet from head to tail, an enclosure must be quite large in order for the adult iguana to have room to move around and explore.  In general, this means the cage will need to be about 6 feet high, 3-6 feet wide, and 10-12 feet long.  The height is crucial, since iguanas live in trees and the enclosure must contain perches or branches for it to climb. Most iguana owners reserve the length of a wall for their iguana's enclosure. The enclosures generally need to be too high and heavy to place them atop furniture. As long as they are large enough and kept at the right temperature, iguana enclosures can be made from a variety of materials including plastic wire, Plexiglas, or even a large re-purposed china cabinet.  One thing to keep in mind is accessibility. You will need to easily put food and water inside the enclosure, and you...

The most important thing to remember is that you can't paint your jar.  If you have a large jar, you can paint it with a paintbrush.  If you have a large jar, you can paint it with a paintbrush.  If you have a large jar, you can paint it with a paint

Draw designs onto the jar with hot glue before painting it. Paint delicate designs by hand using a small paintbrush. Use adhesive stencils to paint specific designs. Use cut adhesive vinyl to create reverse stencils. Create a customizable jar with chalkboard paint. Spray paint the jar if you are in a hurry.

Having a smaller closet means more room for seasonal and trending items.  Throw away old styles. Make space for new items by throwing away the clothes you don't wear. Be honest. If you haven't worn something in a year, you could probably get rid of it.  Throw away items that do not fit you anymore. We all have sentimental pieces of clothing. However, clothing clutter will only keep you from expanding your style. Keep a small collection of your favorite basic items, such as well-fitting jeans and t-shirts. These items are timeless. You can pair them with trendier items you buy. Small items, like jackets and shoes are a good way to spruce up your basics. Make sure you are keeping track of everything you own. This will force you to be honest about what you are actually wearing. It will also help as you continue to refresh your wardrobe.

Clean the jar first, then draw designs onto it using hot glue. Allow the glue to set, then paint over the jar, preferably with spray paint. Allow the paint to dry, then distress and/or seal the jar, if desired.  You can draw simple designs, such as dots, swirls, or hearts. You can also write words on the glass instead, such as "Love" or "Witch Brew." If you don't have hot glue, you can try using puffy paint instead. The raised designs won't be as prominent and they will take longer to dry. Apply just a single coat of acrylic paint; if you apply more than that, the edges of your design may become blurred or uneven. Depending on how thick your coat of paint was, your design could end up looking somewhat translucent, which could lend your jar a delicate appearance. Print out a picture that you like, then tape it inside the jar. Paint your jar using the picture as a guide, then pull the picture out. Clean your jar, then apply your desired adhesive stencil. Apply 2 to 3 coats of acrylic paint to the inside of the stencil with a pouncer (a round, foam brush). Peel the stencil away, then allow the paint to dry. Seal the jar as desired. If you are using a paintbrush, apply the paint from the outside edges of the stencil inward. Clean your jar first, then cut a shape out of adhesive vinyl or contact paper. Smooth the shape onto the jar taking care to avoid any raised designs. Apply 2 to 3 coats of acrylic paint, allowing each one to dry. Peel the stencil away, then fill in any chips using spare paint and a small paintbrush.  If you wish to seal your jar, do so before you remove the stencil. Avoid painting over the stencil. This will reduce chipping when you go to take it off. Draw the shape by hand or use a cookie cutter to trace it. You can paint the entire jar with chalkboard paint, or apply it using a stencil/reverse stencil. Let the paint cure for several days. Prime the paint by rubbing chalk over it, then wiping if off. Draw a picture or write a message using chalk. For a twist, paint over the chalkboard jar...

Most law schools offer on campus interview (OCI) opportunities for students in their second and third years of study. During OCI, employers will come to campus and interview students for summer internships and permanent positions. These opportunities are incredibly valuable and offer one structured way to help you find a job before you even graduate. In most cases, in order to be a part of OCI, you will need to submit a resume and other application materials for each job you want to interview for. Most of the time these materials will be submitted to the school and then disseminated out to the various employers. Once the application period closes, those chosen for interviews will be contacted. Informational interviews are a great way to not only find a job, but also to build a professional network. An informational interview is an informal conversation between yourself and someone working in an area of the law that interests you. To prepare for and conduct a successful informational interview, you should do at least the following:  Identify people to interview. Use contacts you already have and make new ones in an attempt to locate people to interview. Talk to your friends and family about potential interviewees. If that doesn't work, contact businesses on your own. Research businesses you would like to talk to and ask them if there is someone there you can speak with. Prepare for the interview. Once you know who you are going to contact you will need to prepare for the interview. Put together a short introduction that includes your reasons for contacting the person. Call or email the person and ask for an informational interview. Be sure to stress the fact that you are not looking for a job but that you simply want to talk about their job and career path. Ask if there is a convenient time to sit down in person for about 30 minutes. Be prepared to conduct the interview on the spot if that is the only time the person has available. Conduct the informational interview. When the day comes, go to your...

Gather your materials. Choose a container for your lava. Fill the jar 2/3 of the way with baby oil. Pour the water on top of the oil. Add a few drops of food coloring. Wait for the lava to settle. Break the Alka-Seltzer into smaller pieces. Drop the Alka-Seltzer into the jar. Consider keeping your lava lamp.

Here it is: 22(x+3) + 9 - 5 = 32 Remember the order of operations: PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, and Addition/Subtraction. You can't resolve the parentheses first because x is in the parentheses, so you should start with the exponent, 22. 22 = 4 4(x+3) + 9 - 5 = 32 Just distribute the 4 into (x +3). Here's how: 4x + 12 + 9 - 5 = 32 Just add or subtract the remaining numbers. Here's how:  4x+21-5 = 32 4x+16 = 32 4x + 16 - 16 = 32 - 16 4x = 16 To do this, just divide both sides of the equation by 4 to find x. 4x/4 = x and 16/4 = 4, so x = 4.  4x/4 = 16/4 x = 4 Just plug x = 4 back into the original equation to make sure that it checks out. Here's how:  22(x+3)+ 9 - 5 = 32 22(4+3)+ 9 - 5 = 32 22(7) + 9 - 5 = 32 4(7) + 9 - 5 = 32 28 + 9 - 5 = 32 37 - 5 = 32 32 = 32

In this project, you will be using Alka-Seltzer and water to create a lava-lamp effect. Here is what you will need:  A bottle, jar, or tall glass Baby oil Water Food coloring Alka-Seltzer or an antacid tablet You can make your lava lamp in a bottle, jar, or a tall glass. If you use a bottle or jar, however, you will be able to seal your lava lamp and use it again and again by swirling the liquid around inside. If you do not have baby oil, you can use olive oil or another pale-colored oil instead. Baby oil, however, is clear and will let you see the colors of the lava better. Do not fill your container all the way. Instead, leave about 1 inch of space between the water and the top of the jar. This will make the lava more visible. You can use any color you want, but reds, oranges, and yellows will create the most lava-like effect. You can only use one color however; if you use all three colors, they will mix together and make orange. After a few minutes, the water and food coloring will sink to the bottom of the jar, and the oil will float to the top. The food coloring will mix into the water by itself when it sinks to the bottom of the jar. You can break the tablet in half, or you can break it into fourths. The Alka-Seltzer will sink to the bottom, and cause the colored water to bubble and fizz. The bubbles will float to the top of the jar, creating a lava lamp-like effect. You can drop another piece of Alka-Seltzer to create more bubbles. When you have run out of Alka-Seltzer, you can still continue using your lava by putting the lid on the jar or a cap on the bottle. If you used a glass, you can pour everything into a jar or bottle. Gently turn the jar upside down and back and forth. The colored water will come together into a large glob (o several smaller goblets) and float in the oil. It will look like lava!  If you used a bottle, simply twist the cap onto the bottle. If you made your lava lamp in a cup, you can pour the liquid into a jar of bottle using a funnel, and then close the jar or bottle tightly.

Get the blisters properly treated. Ask your doctor about a prescription corticosteroid cream. Consider immunosuppressant creams. Experiment with phototherapy.

Using your fingers, rub the foundation, tinted moisturizer, or sunscreen onto your skin. Be sure to cover any areas of your abdomen that will be exposed, and to blend in the edges if you are using foundation or a tinted moisturizer. If you are using foundation, you can use foundation brush or a cosmetic wedge instead of your fingers. To avoid ruining your brushes in the next few steps, wait for the foundation, tinted moisturizer, or sunscreen you have just applied to dry out. You can tell if it has dried out if your skin no longer looks shiny, moist, or dewy. When in doubt, you can always touch your abdomen with your finger. If your finger comes away with makeup, moisturizer, or sunscreen on it, then you need to wait longer. Flexing your abdomen will help you find those muscles and highlight them in the next steps. You do not have to flex your abdomen the entire time, but it is a good idea to do so before drawing each line to ensure that you are placing the shadows in their proper locations. Swivel your brush in your powder bronzer and tap the brush to get rid of the extra. You can also blow lightly on your brush to dislodge any extra powder. Take your brush, and create a single stroke down the center of your abdomen. You want the line to extend from just below your ribcage to your belly button. If the line is not dark enough, you may go back over it again, but try not to use too many layers. You want the line to be light. If it is too dark, it will look fake and unnatural. Load up your brush with more bronzer, and create two more lines just below your ribcage. You are drawing something that looks like an upwards-pointing arrow. Flex your abdomen again, if necessary, and find the vertical grooves to either side of your belly. They begin just below your ribcage and extend down towards your belly. Once you have found them, draw a line down each one using your bronzer and brush. If you flex your abdomen, you may find some horizontal grooves to either side of your belly button. They extend from the belly button...

If your dyshidrotic eczema is quite severe and involves lots of fluid-filled blisters, don't pick at them or squeeze them. Instead, go see your doctor and have them properly treated. Your family doctor may treat you directly or refer you to a dermatologist (skin specialist). Regardless, the doctor will likely apply some antibiotic cream and dress the blisters properly with sterile bandages, so as to limit the risk of infection, minimize scarring and promote healing. If the blisters are particularly big, the doctor may drain them first.  Change the bandages daily (or immediately if they get accidentally wet and dirty), but remove them carefully so as to minimize skin irritation. When the blisters do break open, apply an antibiotic ointment to the area and cover loosely with another clean bandage. Your doctor may also consider other potential causes of your skin condition. Other skin conditions that can mimic dyshidrotic eczema include fungal infection, bacterial infection, scabies, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and chickenpox. Because they modify the body's immune response, cortisone, prednisone and other corticosteroids are thought to decrease the redness, irritation and itchiness of eczema. Corticosteroids also have strong anti-inflammatory properties. Prednisone is stronger than cortisone and is often the better choice for eczema — it decreases skin inflammation by reversing the size of capillaries beneath the skin and suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response.  Wrapping the treated area in plastic wrap can improve absorption of corticosteroid cream and help blisters disappear quicker.  If your eczema is severe enough, your doctor may recommend oral steroid therapy (pills) for several days in order to combat the inflammation and discomfort. Long-term side effects of corticosteroid therapy include thinning of the skin, edema (water retention) and compromised immune response. Immune system suppressing creams and ointments, such as tacrolimus (Protopic) and pimecrolimus (Elidel), may also be helpful...

If you have been a long-standing patient at your dental office or if you have a payment history at the dentist that shows you can pay your bills on time, you may be able to arrange a payment plan with your dentist. In this arrangement, you would have to pay for a portion of the dental work up front as a down payment, usually one-third to one-half of the total bill. This will ensure you cover the dentist's fixed costs, such as the dental lab bill and the overhead expenses for maintaining the office.  You can then arrange to pay the remainder of the bill in monthly fixed payments. Your dentist may set a repayment time frame, usually several months, depending on the cost of the dental work. You should also discuss if your dentist is going to be charging you interest each month on top of the payments. “No Interest” payment plans are typically offered if you have a short time period to pay off your balance, between six to eighteen months. You will be required to pay the minimum balance once a month and pay off the balance within the allotted time. Otherwise, interest will be added. “Low Interest” payment plans are typically arranged when you have a longer term to pay off the bill, usually up to five years. You should try to pay off the monthly payments on time and as fast as possible to avoid paying interest. If you are able to pay for your dental work upfront with cash, you may qualify for a cash discount. Ask your dentist if he can offer you a tax-free amount if you can pay your bill in a lump sum on the spot. Often, paying in cash can allow your dentist to avoid processing costs or third party costs via dental financing. Your dentist may be more amenable to a cash discount if you present the cost savings for the office that are involved. Go over your treatment plan with your dentist and prioritize the most necessary dental work first. Look at treatments that are urgent or required and treatments that may be nice to have or not as necessary. You and your dentist should schedule the required treatments first,...

How you view being alone can greatly affect your mood. Some people thrive best when they’re alone a lot, while others may feel lonely. To make sure you’re in that first camp, look for ways that spending time alone is great for your life. Here are some things to consider:  There are fewer demands on your time. You don’t have to compromise with anyone. You can do what you want, when you want. You can truly get to know yourself. This is the perfect time to get to know who you really are as a person. What is it you really want out of life? How do you really want to spend your time? Become a friend to yourself so you can help you find your best life possible.  Keep a journal to record your thoughts and experiences. In addition to writing in it, read over it often to get to know yourself better. List out your interests, desires, dislikes, and dreams. Pretend like you’re getting to know someone else. What would you want to learn about yourself if you’d just met you? Keeping up with friends often leaves little time for your personal hobbies and favorite indulgences. Being alone means your time is yours, so use it for doing what you want. Similarly, you can decorate your space how you’d like and go to bed on your schedule. Just remember to take care of yourself, honor your responsibilities, and maintain your regular routines.  Engage in your hobbies everyday. Make your own household rules regarding cleaning, meal times, etc. Eat the food you like. Watch your favorite shows. Play your video games whenever you’d like. Being mindful means being in the present moment. You can meditate to be more mindful, but you can also just pay attention to your thoughts and what’s happening in the moment. Mindfulness can even prevent feelings of loneliness, if that’s a concern for you. Here are some ways to be mindful:  Engage your 5 senses. What do you see, hear, smell, feel, and taste right now? Focus on how your feet feel against the ground, or how your bottom feels pressed against a seat. Notice something in your environment, such...
