Whenever you’re asking your parents for something, timing is everything. If you ask when they’re in a bad mood or feeling stressed, they’re more likely to say no. That’s why you choose a time when they’re relaxed and happy, so they’re more inclined to say yes.  Try to identify times when your parents are usually in a good mood, such as after eating their favorite meal or waking up after a good night’s sleep. Those are the ideal times to ask about saying home by yourself. Pay attention to times when your parents are usually cranky too. For example, they may be in a bad mood after a long day at work or their favorite team has a lost a game. Avoid asking them about staying home alone at those times. If you get too emotional when you're talking to your parents, they're probably not going to take you too seriously. That means no yelling, whining, or crying when you ask about staying home alone. You also should avoid complaining that all of your friends are allowed to do it. Your parents usually aren't going to see that as a very good reason to give permission. If you feel yourself getting frustrated and losing your cool while you're talking to your parents, try counting to 10 in your head. That can help give you time to get yourself under control so you don't do something that you regret. To convince your parents that you’re responsible enough to stay home alone, it’s important to explain why you think you’re ready. Point all the ways that you’ve shown how responsible you are, such as good grades on your report card and how they haven’t had to remind you to wash the dishes after dinner. You should also reassure them that you know what to do in case of an emergency, so make sure you know how to find all the contact numbers you may need.  When you’re explaining to your parents, keep things simple. You might say, “I think I’m ready to stay home alone because I’m responsible enough to get all A’s and B’s on my report and remember to walk the dog every afternoon. I also know to call 911 if there’s an emergency or Mrs....

Where you decide to talk to your partner about your sexual disorder is important. You should probably refrain from discussing it in the bedroom because that is the place for intimacy and sex. Instead, talk about it on the couch so you both can be comfortable.  Pick a time when you both have an open schedule so you can discuss the topic for as long as needed. You may need to tell your partner, “I have something very important to discuss with you. I would like to know a good time very soon where we can talk uninterrupted.”  If you have children, see if you can get a grandparent or friend to watch them while you discuss this. You want the focus to be on your relationship, and you don't want to be distracted. You owe it to both yourself and your partner to be honest with him or her about your sexual disorder. Pretending everything is okay and faking orgasms or pleasure will only cause problems down the road. Opening up the lines of communication with your partner helps start to build intimacy between the two of you, which can help your sexual problems. The sooner you are honest with your partner, the better. Your partner may be upset with you if you have been lying or pretending for years. You may have to explain why you didn't share your problem with him or her, which brings up trust issues. Talking about sexual problems can be really embarrassing and cause guilt, shame, and feelings of self-doubt. When you talk to your partner, use phrases or words that make you comfortable. Tell your partner that you feel embarrassed and this is hard for you. Tell your partner you are uncomfortable. This helps you start to address your discomfort and to let your partner know he or she may need to be understanding and supportive.  For example, you may say, “This is really embarrassing. I'm having sexual problems, and I'm not sure how to tell you” or “This is uncomfortable for me. My sexual problems are causing me physical discomfort while trying to figure out how to talk about this is causing me emotional discomfort.” You may...

Whereas these days people style their eyebrows with everything from wands and brushes to gels and pencils, the 80s celebrated untamed brows. If you want to fill in your brows, though, opt for a brow shadow or pencil that is darker than your hair color, like Madonna did in that decade. Choose 80s shadow colors such as pink, blue, purple, and/or orange. You can stack multiple colors on your upper lids. Freely apply it from your eyelids to your eyebrows. Don’t hesitate to use glittery shades…glitter was quite popular cosmetically in the 80s! Line your upper and lower lids with black pencil. Look for a creamy eye pencil for this look. Once applied, smudge it lightly with your fingers or an eyeshadow applicator. Add black mascara to your upper and lower eyelashes.  Substitute navy or dark purple for the black eyeliner and mascara, if you prefer. Another take on this look is to use dark eyeliner on your top lids, and a brightly-colored eyeliner on your bottom lids. For example, try lining your top lids with an inky black, and your bottom lids with a deep sky blue. Line your lids normally right near the lash line. Optionally, you can extend the outside edges into cat eyes. Choose a foundation color a couple of shades lighter than your natural skin tone, if you want to be authentically 80s! This gives you a better canvas to accentuate the colors of the rest of your makeup. Don’t be afraid to pile on the foundation – just make sure to use a makeup sponge to blend it so that the contrast between your face and neck isn’t as striking. Choose an 80s blush color like bright pink or deep plum. Apply it to your cheekbones and about an inch above and below. Use circular motions to apply the blush with a round makeup brush.  Many shades of pink blush were happening in the 80s, from pure pinks to purplish pinks as well as more coral hues. Whichever color you choose, apply it boldly to really capture the style of the decade. 80s fashion often saw blush extending from the cheekbones up into the hairline at the sides of the face....

Whereas women are expected to combine a variety of tops, many men tend to reach for the t-shirt. Simple, easy to clean, and draws little attention. Since this is a safe choice for self-presenting as a man, it's easier to have some fun and pick out shirts that align with your interests.  Many men wear t-shirts of their favorite bands, or with artwork from their favorite TV shows and movies. If you want to give off an athletic appearance, consider buying plain white, gray, or black shirts. Also, sportswear would be a good choice for an athletic male look. Most men can be seen wearing blue jeans, navy slacks, and khakis. Take a trip to the department store or even a thrift store to save money, and pick up several pairs. These will give you a solid foundation to build multiple boyish or manly outfits.  Be sure to pick pants that fit comfortably. Currently, skinny jeans are becoming more common among men, and these could be a good fit for your new look. Keep in mind though they are more revealing of figure (leg musculature) and could potentially reveal your sex. These could be great for muscular women or gender fluid people who want to embrace their non-dichotomous self-presentation. A common representation of women's shoes is flats, heels, and sandals. For men you will more likely see sneakers (high, mid, and low-tops), boat shoes, boots, moccasins, and loafers. Do you want a sporty look, or more professional? Knowing the answer to this question can help guide you toward the right shoes for you.  Skateboard shops, department stores, and brand name outlets are good places to find fashionable male shoes. When wearing formal wear, be sure to pair your outfit with smart dress shoes. It is best to have them polished without any blemishes in the material. Considered by some to be the "common man's crown," baseball hats give you an athletic, relaxed look, that can compliment any male outfit.  Do you have a favorite sports team? Or simply a city you love and want to represent? Answering these questions can help you find...

Whether it is surprising her by cooking her favorite dinner or sending her flowers at work, small gestures like these show your girlfriend that she is on your mind and that you care for her. Every woman needs to be reminded of how beautiful, smart, funny, or interesting she is. Don't stop complimenting her just because you have "won her over" and are already in a committed relationship. Do it because you mean it, and because it will make her feel more confident and loved. Maintaining a healthy sex life will help keep the relationship alive. If you are worried that the sex is getting boring or that your girlfriend is unsatisfied with the sex, then maturely bring up the subject with her.  While this may feel awkward or difficult at first, it will be well worth it in the long run if it improves your sex life! Wait for the appropriate moment. Don't bring up the issue in public, in front of other people, or in a joking manner. Joking about the topic might make your girlfriend feel embarrassed or insecure.

Whether its lace lingerie or a tank top and tights, put on clothes that make you feel sexy and bold. A power blazer may do as much for your self-esteem as a corset.  If nothing in your closet inspires you, go buy something that makes you feel great about yourself. Clothes with a little stretch will be the easiest to dance in. A racy costume may make you feel like a whole new person or just really silly. Go with what feels natural. Showing off parts of your body that your partner likes can make the dance feel special for them. Set your dance to a song you love to make yourself feel confident and uninhibited.  You could try a song that holds special significance for you and your partner or just one that makes you feel good. Slower, more sensual songs may be easier for beginners to dance to. Look into your partner’s eyes as you begin moving to your favorite music. Eye contact causes arousal and will make your efforts seem personal and loving, even if your moves aren’t professional. Break eye contact to follow your hands with your eyes, then make eye contact again. This can be exciting for your partner. Move fluidly, avoiding harsh or jolting movements. Holding your posture or limbs too straight removes some of the softness of sensual dancing. Try to make elegant curved shapes with your body, arms, and legs as you move.  For example, rather than bending over with a flat back, try arching your back. Rather than holding your arms with a harsh bend in the elbow, create small bends in your elbow and wrist for a soft “C” shape. Move your body slowly and deliberately for additional sex appeal. Fast or jerky motions can be jarring for the viewer. Practice your moves in front of a mirror to get your tempo just right. Avoid flexing your feet or moving on flat feet during a sensual dance. Pointing your toes looks graceful and sexy. If you’re of shorter stature, pointed toes also make your legs appear longer.

Whether the issue is food crumbs, dirt, mud or any other non-staining spillage, it must be allowed to dry before proceeding. If you attempt to clean the item before the spillage has dried, the substance will likely get ground into the fibers of the felt, making clean up far more difficult.  Doing this could also result in ruining your felt item completely. If you suspect that the spillage will cause a stain, immediately skip to the spot cleaning and hand washing methods. Stains must be addressed promptly for successful removal from felt. Everything, especially food particles, needs to be removed from the item. Allowing food particles to remain in the fibers of felt can lead to deep set staining, as well as pest or sanitation issues. If additional debris is found upon closer examination, gently use the soft bristled brush again.

Whether this is an app or a book, you'll need a planner that will allow you to plan out your time by the hour, each day of the week. Make sure it’s easy to read and easy to use, otherwise you’ll likely not make use of it.  Studies have shown that physically writing things down (i.e. with pen and paper) will make you more likely to do them. For this reason, you may be best off using a physical planner to plan your time out. Keeping a planner also helps you relieve stress and feel calmer because it makes it less likely that you'll ruminate on what needs to be done. Additionally, it helps your plan become more solid in your mind. So you have a long list of things to do, but when will you actually do them? To-do lists are not as effective as scheduling out your tasks. When you schedule your tasks, you make the time to get them done. When you have specific time blocks in which to work (many day planners literally contain hourly time blocks), you’ll also find that you’re less likely to procrastinate, as you only have an allotted time in which to get your work done before you must move on to the next scheduled task. Blocking out your time helps you get a more realistic idea of how much time you actually have in a day. Start with your highest-priority tasks and work backwards.  Do this for your whole week. Having a broader view of how your days will add up will help you refine your schedule to be as productive as possible.  Some experts even suggest having at least a general idea of what your whole month will look like.  Some people recommend starting at the end of your day and working backwards — so if you’re done work/homework at 5 p.m., plan backwards from there, to when your day starts, for example, at 7 a.m. Studies have shown that scheduling even your free time can help increase your satisfaction with life. It has also been proven that long work hours (50+ hours a week) in fact make you less productive.  Sleep deprivation will kill your productivity. Make sure that you sleep at least 7 hours each night if...

Whether this is your first episode or one in a series, it is a good idea to make an appointment with your doctor to talk over what you experienced. They will decide if any additional action is necessary and this will give you peace of mind moving forward. They might also ask you to watch for particular warning signs, in addition to fainting, such as increased thirst.  Your doctor may order tests such as a blood sugar draw, a general blood test to check for anemia and nutrient levels, and an EKG (to scan for heart issues). These are all fairly standard diagnostic tools.  Your doctor may also place restrictions on your behaviors until the cause of fainting has been established and treated. They may request that you limit your driving and avoid operating any kind of heavy or complex machinery.  It is helpful if you can bring with you a statement or brief note from someone who witnessed you faint. After all, you were unconscious for part of this time and this person call “fill in the blanks” regarding what happened to you. There is a possibility that your doctor will prescribe medication to you to treat and prevent future fainting episodes. These medications usually address the underlying cause of the fainting. For example, corticosteroids are drugs that help to boost hydration via the elevation of sodium levels. Make sure to follow the exact directions on any medication that you receive. If you fail to do so, you run the risk of your fainting spells getting worse. This is good advice in general but is especially helpful if you’ve fainted in the past. Carry small snacks with you that are high in sugar and salt. For example, drink some juice or eat some mixed nuts. This will to help to prevent your blood sugar from dropping too low, a common cause of fainting. Focus on substances that will improve circulation and heart health overall. Omega-3 fatty acid supplements are good in that they minimize inflammation allowing your blood to circulation more efficiently. You can also focus on herbal remedies, such as green...

Whether you are dealing with a hatchling or captive-bred snake that shows little aggression, or a snake that is exhibiting a great deal of aggressive behavior, the first thing you should do is allow your snake to adjust to you.  For the first week or so that you have your snake, just sit outside its cage for about an hour each day and allow it to get used to your smell.  Don’t attempt to touch your snake at all during this week. At the end of this initial week, you can begin to move things around inside your snake’s cage.  However, it is still important that you do not attempt to touch the snake at this point.  Do this for another week so that your snake can get used to the idea that you are not trying to harm it.  Being around it without attempting to touch it will let your snake know you are not a threat. Once you have let your snake know you are not a threat, you can begin to touch it while it is inside its cage.  To do so, place your hand in its cage and gently start working with it by touching it, moving it around inside the cage, and lifting its tail.  Continue working with your snake in this manner for three or four days.

Whether you are going to a specific event where you will have to speak with people or you just want to be prepared to talk with anyone throughout the day, it can be very helpful to have some talking points ready.  These talking points can help you initiate a conversation and keep the conversation going if the person you are talking to is not a good conversationalist.  Before you go out for the day, read up on current events in the paper or online, and make note of interesting stories. If you haven't met before, introduce yourself.  If you've already met, be warm in your greeting.  As you begin the conversation, it is important that you are inviting and exude confidence.  If you seem at ease with making conversation, this will help put the other person at ease as well.  Avoid defensive body language like crossing your arms, and always smile openly and make eye contact with the person. As you ease into speaking with one another, focus on things that you both have in common at the moment, like the room you are in, the event you are attending, or the neighborhood where it is located.  You can offer up information about yourself at this time, making yourself seem more open and interested.  For example:  “I went to college with Gina in Iowa.  How do you know the hosts?” “I’ve always been interested in marketing strategies.  What brings you to this event?” “I don’t live around here, but this neighborhood is so pretty.  Do you know this area well?” Whether you know this person already or you are talking with someone new, show your interest in the other person and encourage them to participate more in the conversation.  The best way to do this is by asking questions that cannot be answered with a simple yes or no.  Try to phrase your questions in such a way that it elicits a more detailed response.  For example:  Instead of asking, “Did you have a nice weekend?” try saying, “What did you do this weekend?” Instead of asking, “I like this appetizer, do you?” try saying, “If this was your event, what would you put on the...

Whether you are planning a small party or a large one, you will need to decide who you want to invite. Jot down a list of all of the people you would like to come and then use Facebook, Twitter, or word of mouth to let everyone know.  If you are planning to serve food to your guests and you want to keep it kind of small, try to get a head count at least one week before. If you are hoping to have lots of people at your party, then you might consider telling all of your friends to bring someone along. You may also want to invite your neighbors to reduce the chances of noise complaints. . Creating a playlist for your party is an essential part of the planning process. It is important to make sure that you have plenty of good music to last through the entire evening, so stock your playlist with at least five hours of music.  Try to keep your guests music interests in mind as you complete the playlist. Don’t just stock the playlist with music that you like. Keep your theme in mind as you create your playlist for the party. For example, if you are having an 80s party, then your playlist should include lots of music from the 80s. Drinking games can help to keep your party interesting and they are popular among college students. Decide what drinking games you want to play so that you can suggest a game later in the evening. Some drinking games to consider include:  Beer Pong Flip Cup “Never Have I Ever” Quarters You may need to make some adjustments to your apartment to prepare it for your guests. Try to get everything set up at least an hour before people are supposed to arrive.  Clear a large area of your living room or kitchen to use as a dance floor. Set up extra chairs and tables for your guests. Lock or block off rooms that are off limits.  Make sure that you have essential items like toilet paper, plastic cups, and paper towels.

Whether you are planting your geraniums in the ground or in a pot, geraniums are generally one of the easier plants to take care of. They can be planted in spots that get full sun, partial sun, or light shade. Make sure that they will get morning sun and afternoon shade if possible. Generally, geraniums are happiest with five or six hours of sunlight a day, though this number can be a bit more or a bit less. It is best to plant geraniums in soil that drains well. Geraniums don’t really like getting their feet too wet and soggy soil could lead to a sick plant. If you live in an area that is really hot a lot of the year, try to find a spot that gets afternoon shade and has relatively moist soil. Geraniums do not like sitting in soggy soil, so it is important to get a pot with good drainage. Buy a pot that is large enough for your plant, depending on the variety of geranium you bought. If you have a smaller plant, you may be fine with a 6 or 8 inch (15.2 or 20.3 cm) pot, while larger varieties will need a 10 inch (25.4 cm) pot. Avoid placing a saucer under your plant’s pot unless the saucer has pebbles in it. The National Gardening Association recommends planting geraniums in spring, after the last hard frost. Depending on the type of geranium, the plant may bloom in midsummer, late summer, or fall, though sometimes the flowers have a mind of their own and they’ll burst into bloom in spring. Regardless, be prepared for their beauty to pop up anytime but winter. Geraniums flourish in soil that has been tilled and is loose. Use a tiller or rake to ensure that the soil is loose a good 12 to 15 inches (30.5 to 38.1 cm) down. After loosening the soil, mix in 2 to 4 inches (5.1 to 10.2 cm) of compost to give the soil as much nutrients as possible. Depending on the type of geranium, you will want to separate each plant by 6 inches (15.2 cm) to 2 feet (0.6 m) in distance. If you have picked up a larger variety of geranium, you will want to give each plant a good 2 feet (0.6 m) of space to grow. Each hole should be...

Whether you are selling in person or online, you need to spread the word about your craftwork and about you, the craftsperson.  Especially when buying handmade items, people like to feel a connection to the artisan.  When selling at a craft fair or other locale in person, distribute professional-grade business cards.  Also try to build a “mailing” list — although email or social media accounts may be more appropriate these days.  Create a business website where people can visit and learn more about your little enterprise. Spread the word on social media via friends and family. Emphasize personalized customer service, regardless of sales venue.  Ship orders promptly, and provide contact information for service or questions.  Consider providing refunds, exchanges, or repairs. Gone are the days when crafters had to rely exclusively on craft shows.  The internet can act as one giant, never-ending craft show if you utilize it well.  Etsy.com is probably the most well-known of numerous sites that focus on the sale of handmade items.  There, you have the opportunity to create your own little online “shop.”  Make the most of it by creating an enticing name, logo, images, and descriptive stories of your business and your product(s) for sale. Professional quality photographs of your crafts are now the standard for sales on such sites.  Take the time, or pay the price, to get the best shots of your product. If you don't know much about search engine optimization (SEO), learn.  You need to choose the right titles and tags in order to direct search engine traffic to your page. Sites like Etsy take a cut of your profits, of course.  So, if you are web savvy, you may want to consider selling over your own site.  This may serve you better after you have developed a solid customer base, however. While online sales have superseded them for many crafters, selling at festivals and craft shows can still be a keystone of your strategy.  After all, there is no better way to show the quality of your wares, and use your charms as the...

Whether you are starting from pants or wanting to fray more structured shorts, selecting denim in a size larger than your normal size will give your frayed shorts a more relaxed and comfortable fit. This can be particularly helpful if you are starting with pants, which tend to be cut to be more fitted in the legs. Frayed shorts generally come in a loose, hip-slung fit. If you are looking for a more form-fitting look, however, you might want to go with your normal size. When searching for denim to start with, look for boxier or wider leg options, such as girlfriend, boyfriend, or straight leg denim. While it may be tempting to try to transform your old skinny jeans into a cool new pair of frayed shorts, you will likely end up with more of a tight, bike shorts look. Denim with a lot of stretch usually has a tighter fit, so you will likely want to avoid starting with a pair with a lot of elastic. If you don't already have a pair of denim with the right qualities for fraying shorts, check your local vintage and resale shops for an already worn-in pair to start with. Worn-in denim tends to be easier to fray than stiffer and more structured newer denim. Starting with already worn-in denim will also easily give your frayed shorts that desirable cool, relaxed vibe. Most second-hand retailers carry a lot of denim in various sizes, so it is likely that you will be able to find a pair or even two at very little cost.

Whether you borrow your supplies from your friends or buy your own from a beauty supply store, you will need a styrofoam wig head, wig stand, weaving cap, hair-sewing thread and needle, scissors, tweezers, foundation, and hair care products. Create a budget to ensure that you choose the best products for your price. Look online for used beauty supplies to keep your costs low. You will need to know the circumference of your head and compare it to the circumference of the wig head. The second measurement you need to take is from your hairline to the nape of your neck. If your head is larger than the wig head, use wrapping tape and continually wrap it around the circumference of the wig head as many times as you need until it fills out the difference. Do the same from the hairline to the nape of the wig head’s neck. Use pins to secure your weaving cap onto the styrofoam head. Pin the elastic dome band along the front of the head, above the ears, and along the nape of the neck. Also, pin the unhooked elastic bands down so that they are out of the way. Make sure to place the styrofoam wig head onto the wig stand. Make sure to completely stretch your weaving cap down onto the wig head. Place wefts of hair -- essentially, small curtains or bunches -- onto the weaving cap. Thread your needle and thread through the cap and around the track or the weft of the hair. Pull the needle through the loop of the thread as it comes up to securely form a thread track. This method helps to lay the tracks flush against the wig cap. Don’t sew through the weave tracks because it slows you down and may cause shedding after too much wear. The fold is going to be at the edge of the cap. Pin down the new row to hold it in place as you secure the new row of weave. Go right back through the edge of the cap and both of the wefts with the needle and hair thread. Use the same blanket stitch method twice on the small fold at the end of the track to make sure that the fold is very flat and flush to the edge of the cap. There shouldn’t be...

Whether you lost a few friends in the breakup or not, it’s a good idea to make new friends after you’ve broken up.  That is not to say that you should get rid of your current friends, but that you should expand your social circle.  Making new friends will open you up to new experiences and will also help you distance yourself from your ex.  If you don’t share the same social circle, he won’t always be able to keep tabs on you either, which will allow you some room to heal.  The digital age has really opened up options when it comes to meeting people.  You can join local Facebook groups, or MeetUp groups, or participate in message boards.  These groups can be about shared interests (books, movie genres, or even music), or geography (city, state, neighborhood), or even shared experiences (parenthood, divorce, military veterans). Also, your local bookstores and coffee houses will likely have groups that meet regularly for a common interest or goal. If you attend school, your high school or college will have social, sport, and academic clubs that you can participate in. You deserve to treat yourself to something that you normally wouldn’t splurge on. Go for it – pamper yourself a little, or go exploring, go on a date with yourself, or maybe get that hand bag you’ve been looking at for a long time.  Think of one or two things that you’d really enjoy and give yourself a gift.  Try going on a trip or vacation alone.  Take some time to explore a new place or experience something new by yourself. Pamper yourself with self-care gifts.  Maybe now is the time to buy that massage package or those new pots and pans you’ve been looking at. Take yourself out – go to a bookstore, or dinner, or even a movie. You know that being kind to others is important because it helps someone else and also makes you feel better.

Whether you purchase it online or from your local arts or fabric store, you will basically only need bias tape maker to go along with an iron, ironing board, scissors, and sewing machine. You may also use a rotary cutter and mat. Bias tape comes in an assortment of widths, styles, and colours. A bias tape maker can come with a variety of openings which will determine the width of your bias tape. Before ironing out any wrinkles, spray starch onto the fabric to ensure that it will be easy to work with. Begin with a fabric that measures about 22 inches x 28 inches. Take the bottom right corner and fold it upwards toward the top most edge of your fabric. The bias fold will be the line on which you cut. Rotate your fabric so that the bias edge lines up with the cutting edge of your cutting mat. Use the cutting edge of your cutting mat to guide you as you trim 1/8″ off the fold of the fabric. Use your cutting mat to realign your cut edge of the fabric. Cut 1 inch strips until you have made 10 strips. Continue to realign the edge of the fabric as you make a new cut. You should make 5 cuts to give you 10 strips that measure 1 inch x 20 inches. Form a right angle with the bias strips. Match the bottom right corner of a strip with the top left corner the edge of another strip. The right sides of the strips should be placed together. Line up the ⅝ inch seam guide of your sewing machine with the raw edge of your fabric to keep your strips at a 45 degree angle and seam straight. Use scissors to trim any excess fabric. Press the seams so that they remain open. On one end of the fabric, create a 45 degree angle by cutting the fabric. Place this end through bias tape maker. Make sure to continue pressing down to keep the seam open as you pull the fabric through the bias tape maker. The seam will be very subtle and your 22 inch by 28 inch fabric will create 9 yards of bias tape.

Whether you steam or use a mask, always remember to rinse away the dirt when you're finished. Follow up by using a toner on your face. Toner helps restore your skin's pH balance after cleansing, giving it a youthful, glowing appearance and helping to close pores. Beauty supply stores carry many different toners. Look for one that works with your skin type, but avoid toners with excess chemicals, perfumes, and dyes that could irritate or dry out your skin. These toners will do more harm than good, and your pores will end up looking larger instead of smaller.  Avoid toners that contain alcohol, which can dry out the skin. Avoid toners that contain glycerin and fragrances, since these can cause allergic reactions. Apple cider vinegar is made from fermented apples, and is a gentle, natural toner for any type of skin. Mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of water, then use a cotton ball to apply it to your skin after rinsing. Let your skin dry, then moisturize it. Plain, raw honey is an excellent toner for skin. Simply spread some on your face and let it sit for about ten minutes, then rinse it away with warm water. Your pores will tighten up and your face will feel fresh and youthful. Using a good face moisturizer is key to keeping your pores closed. Choose an alcohol-free moisturizer that doesn't contain perfumes and excess chemicals so you make sure you don't irritate your skin. Look for products that are labeled as non-pore clogging, or “non-comedogenic” or “non-acnegenic.” You can also products with a non-irritating mineral formula. Wash your hands before applying your makeup so you don't get extra oil or dirt on your face, and apply in small amounts to reduce buildup.  Applying a primer before you put on makeup can reduce the appearance of your pores. Always remember to take your makeup off at the end of the day!

Whether you're afraid of trying something because your overthinking has led you to believe you'd fail, or you can't stop replaying the memory of a time you failed at something or in some role, you need to recognize that sometimes things just don't work out the way we'd like them to. And that's not always a bad thing. A lot of what we perceive as failure is not an ending, but a beginning: to new options, new opportunities, and new ways of living.  Recognize that behaviors may fail, but people (namely, you) do not.  Rather than seeing failure as the end of something good, try thinking about it as a new opportunity. If you lose your job, you may be able to find a better job that gives you more satisfaction. If you start a new art project and it doesn't turn out the way you hoped, at least you got some practice out of it, and you might have a better idea of what you'd like to do differently next time.  Try to let failure motivate you. Put more effort and concentration into doing better next time, or spend more time preparing for future events. An important part of overthinking is to recognize that you cannot change the past, and that dwelling on it over and over will not help change anything. While learning from the past is an important part of growing and maturing, overthinking and ruminating on mistakes, missed opportunities, and other elements of the past is harmful and unproductive. Once you learn the lesson you believe you need to learn from a past event, try letting go of the memory. Don't consciously think about it, and any time you find yourself thinking about it try to distract yourself or snap yourself out of that thought pattern. Focus on the present moment, which you do have the power to change. No one knows what's going to happen, and your overthinking mind certainly isn't going to predict the future any better than the rest of the world. But many people with overthinking minds tend to believe that they know what will happen in advance: that trying out for the basketball team will only result in...

Whether you're using iTunes, Media Player, or a third-party music service, you'll need to open the program to view the music files in question. Most programs allow you to click and drag any MP3 files not already in your library into your media player of choice to add them.  You can also highlight any MP3s you wish to edit, right-click (or two-finger click on Mac) a highlighted file, and select "Play" or "Play with... (default media player)". This will bring up your MP3 files in your default program as they are. Use this as a chance to consolidate all of your MP3 files. In the interest of efficiency, they should all be in the same location--your default music folder is the best bet. While most of the tagging you'll do on MP3s is text-based, you also have the option of adding album art. If this appeals to you, try searching the album art for your selected MP3s in an image service like Google or Bing Images. Try to find the highest quality photos possible; they may look good in a thumbnail, but lower-quality photos can become granulated when they expand to fit your screen. Again, depending on what kind of media player you're using, your specific process will vary slightly; however, most media players require you to right-click the MP3 file you wish to edit, find some version of "edit file" in the ensuing right-click menu, and click that option.  For example, iTunes has an option entitled "Get info", which opens the MP3's tag input; Windows Media Player's menu, on the other hand, simply says "edit". If you're using Windows Media Player and your MP3 files are from a legitimate or primary source, you can select "Find album info", which will normally fill in the details of the selected music automatically. Tags include items such as artist name, track number in an album, and genre of music; feel free to edit all of these accordingly.  Fields such as "album", "year", and "artist" can be edited in batches. To do this, highlight all relevant MP3s in your media player, right- or control-click one of the selected MP3s,...

Whether you've chosen to make oatmeal, cream of wheat (also known as farina), grits, or another type of hot cereal, they will all have specific cooking instructions. Make sure you read the packaging it came in to understand how you need to cook it. When it comes to hot cereal, there are usually options for people who love cooking and options for people who don't want to put much effort into making it. After you've cooked your hot cereal, you can add some fun flavorings and toppings to it. For oatmeal, you can add things like brown sugar, nuts, fruit, or even chocolate chips. Add butter to cream of wheat or grits for a savory breakfast, or even pop an entire egg into it. Adding a dollop of peanut butter onto hot cereal is a great option, as the heat from the hot cereal will warm the peanut butter, allowing it to melt and blend well. Adding cinnamon and sugar to any of your hot cereal options can make a sweet, delicious breakfast. Let it cool before diving in, because burning your mouth is a painful way to start your day. If you're eager to begin eating, blow on each bite before popping it in your mouth. If you've added yummy mix-ins and toppings, make sure to stir them throughout your hot cereal so that you have some left for your final bites. Hot cereal can stick to the sides of your bowl, so make sure you scrape your spoon along the sides to get every bit.

Whether your dog is recovering from surgery or is facing deteriorating vision without surgery as an option, make a habit of following the same basic routine of care every day. Feed your dog at the same time. Try to play with them at around the same time. This will help your vision-impaired pet know what to expect. A dog who suffers from impaired vision will naturally come to rely more on their sense of smell. Play into this by using two signal aromas in your household-one for “good” and one for “bad.” Vanilla, for example, can be your good aroma. Wipe a few drops of vanilla scent on their food area and around the door frames to help with navigation. Bitter apple or peppermint could be your bad scent. Use this to warn against hazard areas, such as the edges of a fireplace. Avoid moving furniture around or making any major changes to the outlines of your living space. Make sure to keep your dog’s personal area the same as well by not moving their crate or food and water bowls around. Get down on your dog’s level and try to navigate around the house. Look for potential hazards in the form of sharp, low edges. Cover these edges with roll-out foam pieces. These foam barrier protectors are available online and in stores for babyproofing, but can also be used for pet proofing and safety.

Whether your ham is pre-cooked or uncooked, it needs to be heated at the same temperature in the oven. Cooked hams should be  reheated to an internal temperature of 140 °F (60 °C). Uncooked hams need to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 °F (63 °C). A pre-cooked ham of any cut can be eaten cold. However, it will probably taste better if you reheat it. Put the foil in the bottom of the roaster first. Set the ham on top of it, with the fattiest side facing up. Lining the bottom of the roaster with foil makes it easier to clean after. The liquid will help keep your meat moist. Don’t put excessive amounts, though. Fat will also melt off the ham during the cooking process and moisten it.  For the liquid, you can use water, fruit juice, cider, wine, or even cola. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Make sure that the foil covering the ham is tightly sealed to lock the moisture in. The length of time your ham needs to cook varies depending on the type of ham and the weight. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ham. Cook a thawed, whole ham for about 18-20 minutes per 1 pound (0.45 kg). Cook a thawed, half ham for about 22-25 minutes per 1 pound (0.45 kg). Remember that it takes approximately 50% longer to cook a frozen ham than a thawed one. Remove the foil cover from the ham. Glaze the ham generously with a basting brush using a glaze of your choice.  There are many different delicious glaze recipes you can try. The basic components usually include a spicy ingredient, often mustard, with something sweet, like brown sugar, honey, marmalade, juice, sherry, or maple syrup. You can also add other spices and flavors, like cloves, garlic, or ginger. Aim for a thick glaze with the texture of paste so it doesn’t just slide off the ham. Adding a dry ingredient like flour or mustard powder helps thicken the glaze. Put the ham back in the oven. Leave it uncovered. Bake until the glaze looks burnished. This should take approximately 15-20 minutes. This is a few degrees lower than the recommended...

Whether your martini is wet or dry simply refers to the amount of vermouth you are using in the drink. A dry martini will have about 4 parts gin to 1 part vermouth. If you want to make a wet martini you can add 4 parts gin and 2 parts vermouth or more.  In the past, a martini used to be made with equal parts gin and vermouth. Today, this is typically called a fifty-fifty. Experiment with different ratios. Although some gin martini connoisseurs may have strong opinions about ratios, you should make a cocktail that tastes good to you. If you are making a drink for someone else, and you don’t know what they like, then stick to the classic 4 to 1 ratio. Using a jigger will help you get the ratio of gin to vermouth right, which will improve the taste of the drink. If you are making a classic dry martini you will want to use 4 parts gin. This means that you could fill up the big or small half of the jigger 4 times (you will have added 1 jigger of vermouth). Pour it over the ice and vermouth.  If 4 jiggers is too much for your drink, you can cut this amount in half. For example, you could do 2 jiggers and then half of a jigger full of vermouth. If you want to measure your ingredients in ounces, for a dry martini, you could also use 2 ounces of gin and only use the vermouth to “rinse” the ice cubes and shaker. This is completely optional, but some people like to make their gin martinis “dirty” by adding the brine that comes from soaking olives.  To make a dirty martini, you will use as much olive brine as you would vermouth. If you are using the 4 to 1 ratio you would add 4 parts gin, 1/2 part vermouth and 1/2 a part olive brine. The more olive brine you add the dirtier your martini becomes. Stirring does three things for a cocktail: it blends the ingredients together, it chills the drink, and it helps to dilute the drink properly (by helping the ice melt a bit). Therefore, it is important to stir the drink with the right tools using the right technique.  Hold the spoon between your thumb index and middle finger of...

Whether your parents allow you to or not, always show maturity and understanding when discussing going to the concert with them. Try to think about things from their point of view, and remember that your safety is the most important thing to them. Concert tickets can be expensive, and buying the ticket yourself will show your parents not only how responsible you are, but also how much you want to go. However, discuss the concert with your folks before you buy the ticket because if they say no after you've bought one, then you might be stuck with an expensive ticket you can't even use! If you don't have enough money to purchase the ticket by yourself, offer to earn the rest of the money by doing chores, babysitting, mowing the lawn, or other helpful tasks. Setting a certain time that you should be home will allow your parents to breathe a little easier knowing that you won't be home too late. It's really not safe to stay out at all hours of the night, so set a curfew and stick to it. Many concerts start later than expected or is listed on the ticket, so be sure to take into consideration how long you think the concert will truly last. Usually, concerts end by 11pm. Take a cellphone with you and be sure to check in with your parents every hour or so. Let them know when you've safely arrived, how the concert is going, and when you're leaving. You won't be able to hear your phone ring during the show, so text your parents and let them know that you'll call once it's over, or you'll text them if you have a problem.

Whether your resume or profiles are scanned by a software and ranked based on relevancy or they are being quickly scanned by human eyes, they must contain industry and job specific keywords.  The more keywords you have throughout, the more qualified for the job you will appear. Do not leave room for assumption! If you have a specific skill that is needed to do the job, make sure to include it. You can determine which exact keywords to include by reading through several job descriptions for the type of position you are seeking, posted by the types of companies you would like to work for. For example, if you are looking for a new sales representative position and you see the words “lead generation” and “closer” frequently, it is best to use these keywords to describe your skills in seeking new customers (lead generation) and making a sale (a closer). In addition to explaining your skills throughout your resume and social media profiles, it is important to highlight the skills that are most relevant to a given position, in list form. As mentioned, it is best to read through the job description of the type of position you are seeking and determine the most relevant skills required to do the job successfully. Then, list these skills in your resume or profile (provided they are true).   Skills listed in your resume: Add this list of skills and keywords towards the beginning of your resume, before your "experience" section. Skills listed should be one or two words in bullet format such as “Closer” and “Problem Solver”.  Skills listed in your social media profile: Many profiles already have a section for you to list your skills. Some even have a drop down menu for you to utilize. As with listing these skills on your resume, use relevant keywords that you have determined from the job description. Be sure to add both hard and soft skills to your resume and profiles.  Hard skills are the teachable skills you have to do the job successfully, such as cold calling or using the customer relationship management system. Soft...

Whether your sibling is struggling with school, work, or personal issues, they can benefit from their sister's love and assistance. If they ask you for help, assist them in any way that you can.  Don't wait for your sibling to ask you for help. If they seem like they're struggling, reach out to them. You can say, "Hey, is everything ok? Is there anything I can do to help?" Sometimes your sibling may not want you to interfere. Respect their decision, but state that you will be there if they change their mind. You can say, “I understand. Just let me know if you ever do want my help.” Don't hold back on noticing your sibling's skills and accomplishments. Let them know when they have made you proud or what you admire about them.  If you know your sibling is insecure about something, lift their spirits by admiring them. For example, if your brother is worried about getting into college, you can say, “You've been working so hard! No matter what ends up happening, I know you'll do well.” Congratulate them on them on their accomplishments. For example, if a sibling wins an award, let them know how proud you are. Give them examples of how their good qualities influence and impact you in positive ways. Let them know when they do things that inspire you. For example, if your sibling kept trying at an activity they struggled with, tell them that they inspired you to keep working at something you found difficult and that you admire that quality about them. When your sibling does a favor for you or if they support you, express gratitude to them. Let them know that you appreciate their presence in your life. For example, you can say, “Thank you so much for always listening when I need to talk. It makes me so happy to know I have a sibling like you.” When things happen in life, talking to a sibling can be a big help. You can get your siblings to open up to you by opening up them first. Be willing to share things and to listen to what they want to share.  Sometimes, a person just needs someone to listen, not to give advice....

Whether you’re buying from a store or online, you’ll want to make sure you know as much as possible about the laptops you’re interested in or the specs you need. This will help you know what kind of deals you’re getting and will prevent you from being led astray by ill-informed salespeople.  If you’re going into the store, have a printout of the laptop(s) you’re interested in, or have the information available on your phone. This will help you narrow the field and keep you focused on what you need. There are a variety of places you can purchase laptops from these days. From big box stores to mom-and-pop computer shops, or from Craigslist to Amazon, there are a huge number of outlets available, all offering different prices and levels of service.  The big stores or specialized computer stores are the best way to try multiple laptops before you buy them. If you’re planning to buy online, go down to your local computer/electronics store and try out a few different models, and then take your notes back home. Almost all laptop manufacturers offer a warranty for their products. This warranty may vary, and some stores will offer additional warranty coverage for more money. On the flip side, if you’re buying used off of Craigslist, it’s highly likely that the laptop is no longer covered. It is very important that the laptop comes with a good warranty and from a reputable dealer. Durable, corporate grade laptops can be a bargain when refurbished. The risk is that the laptop has been mistreated and is in poor condition. If the price is right, and especially if there is a one-year warranty, then the risk may be negligible.  Don't buy discounted floor stock laptops unless they come with a good warranty from a reputable dealer. It’s likely that these have been powered up all day every day, as well as being exposed to store dust, grimy fingers, and endless pressing and banging from bored kids or confused customers. . While it depends on the brand and type of laptop, a laptop that is cared for well should last a good few...

Whether you’re going to a professional card reader or exploring a deck of tarot cards on your own, inquire about what you don’t understand. You may draw what looks like a negative card and need more direction. Explore what confusing cards might mean.  You may draw the hanged man when you want to know how you can help a situation. On the surface, this looks like powerlessness, but it can be about acceptance. You could draw the hermit when you ask about how you can bring more excitement into your love life. Instead of saying you’re destined to be alone, it could be saying you need to reflect inwards before you can find a fulfilling love life. The way you respond to cards as they’re laid can give you valuable insight into how you’re dealing with certain situations. Pay attention to your reaction to different cards. Don’t overthink it and write down how you feel about them. A tarot card reading is no different than a lecture you might have additional questions about afterwards. As you go through a spread of cards, remember the points you could use more direction on.  If a card indicates you need to embrace your feminine side, remember that and ask “How can I better embrace my femininity?” If a card says your expectations are too high, like the four of cups, remember that and ask "How can I be more realistic?"

Whether you’re one of the first girls in your grade to be getting your period or one of the last, many girls will get their periods eventually. There’s no need to be embarrassed about something that affects many women out there, and which is a natural part of growing up and having a more mature, changing body. Your period is a sign of fertility, and you should be proud about it, not embarrassed. Don’t let anyone tease you about it or let anyone make you feel anything other than proud about your period. Have a chat with your other friends about it. You’ll feel better knowing that you’re not alone in your feelings. A lot of people worry about their periods “smelling” or people being able to tell that they’re on their period. However, your period itself will not smell; what you may smell is the smell of a sanitary pad absorbing blood after a few hours. To counteract this worry, you can change your pad every 2-3 hours or wear a tampon. Some people like to wear scented tampons or pads, but this smell can actually be more powerful than the smell of unscented sanitary napkins, so this can even irritate the vagina. But still, you can decide if this is right for you. You can try out a scented pad or tampon at home before you decide whether or not you’d like to use them in school. Your period shouldn’t be a secret or something you’re embarrassed about. Though you may initially be shy about it, it’s important to tell your mother or father about it as soon as you’ve gotten it. Your mother or another female in your family can help you get the proper supplies, make you feel comfortable, and help you avoid having to sneak around with your period. Remember that many girls have to go through this and tell your parents when it happens; the sooner you tell them, the better you’ll feel.  Your parents will be proud of you for telling them. Your mother may even shed a few tears. If you live alone with your dad, you may be a little shy about telling him. But once you do, it’ll make things a lot easier, and he’ll be glad you were...

Whether you’re planning an outing, a group trip or going in on a gift for someone, make sure to include this person from the beginning. If they are a part of the planning, they’ll be able to tell you what their budget is and what they are able to contribute.  For example, let your cheap sibling be the first to know if you’re thinking of doing a group gift for your parents. If they want a less expensive option, they are able to suggest ideas themselves. If you had an expensive gift in mind that you’re set on, realize it may be a priority to you, but not to the other people involved.  Understand that they may not be willing to contribute as much financially to the gift, but allow them to put in what they can and help in other ways (like organization and communication). Understanding lessens feelings of resentment for everyone involved. Sometimes, people are unaware that they are doing something wrong. Maybe they assumed an invitation out meant an offer to pay as well. Make sure when you plan to hang out with this person that you set clear expectations from the beginning.  If you're eating out together, ask your server for separate checks at the beginning of the meal. If you're going out as a group, let everyone know in advance that the bill will be split equally per person. If you're hosting a "bring your own [fill in the blank]" party, let the person know everyone is expected to bring something. If they’re prepared upfront, they don’t have an excuse for cheap behavior. If expectations have been set, and the behavior continues, you may have to confront the problem directly. If the cheap person you’re dealing with is a good friend or family member, avoiding them isn't an option. It’s not about what you’re doing, but who you’re doing it with. Plan low or no-cost activities with your cheap friend.  Take a hike or some other physical activity. Watch a movie at home. Go to a park. Cook together. Look up free things to do near your city.

Whether you’re pursuing your first degree or returning to academia after a long hiatus, it’s important to have an idea of what you want to study and how it can lead to more prestigious opportunities in the future. Take into account your interests, passions or current line of work. The right degree can act as a stepping stone toward success.  To become a nurse, for instance, it will be necessary to have a nursing degree, while someone looking to move up in the engineering world may find it useful to study physics or advanced mathematics. Focus on schools that are highly-rated for the programs you’re most interested in. Most major universities offer curriculums for students that live out of state or are too busy to attend lectures in person. Signing up for one of these programs will allow you to earn a degree from a prominent accredited school without ever stepping foot in the classroom.  Not every program or specialization taught at a given school may be available online. Do some research to find out which schools offer the subjects you’re interested in. Major universities will likely have tougher entrance standards, which may be a speed bump for people who are going back to school or have limited college experience. A low-residency program might also be an option, if you have the ability to travel or commute periodically. These types of programs involve spending a certain number of hours on campus throughout the course of a semester for special lectures and events and completing the rest of your requirements via distance learning. There are also a slew of colleges that operate entirely over the internet. With an online school, you’ll have access to assignments, projects and study materials all through your own computer. These sometimes offer courses of study that are hard to find anywhere else, and can make a fine alternative to traditional universities.  Online universities are becoming more recognized by employers as the technology of education continues to improve.  Tuition and other expenses will often be...

It is recommended that a new owner change the original five-digit factory code. Hopefully, you have kept the factory code in a safe place. The 5 digit security code is usually in the glove department if you have not moved the owner’s wallet card. First, make sure that you have locked all the doors to the car including the trunk. Enter the 5-digit factory code. After you have entered the factory code, press 1 - 2 on the keypad. Press these two digits within five seconds to activate the keypad. The doors will lock and unlock to signal that you have entered the correct factory code. Once you’ve received the lock/unlock signal, enter your new 5-digit personal code within within five seconds. You must enter each successive number within five seconds. If your car is equipped with the memory recall feature, pressing 1 / 2 button stores the settings of Driver 1 while pressing the 3 / 4 button stores the settings of Driver 2. Once your personal entry code has been entered, wait for the doors to lock, then unlock, to confirm that your new personal entry code has been set.

Whether you’re using a digital camera or a manual one, make sure the proper settings are in place before you begin your shoot. Take into account the lighting and the effect you’re trying to create.  Most digital cameras have an “automatic” setting. This should be fine in most cases, but make sure that the flash is turned off. You’ve already set up the proper lighting, so there should be no need for a flash. Have a tripod or a flat surface in place. Make sure it’s set at the right angle for professional-looking photos.

Whether you’re wearing a dress or casual belt, there should only be a bit of material left over after it’s fastened, around 2 in (5.1 cm) to 4 in (10 cm). You should be able to tuck the end of your belt into the first belt loop on your pants, or the loop on the belt itself.  You can try on belts in the store to make sure you get the right length. You can also choose a belt based on your pant size. If you wear pants with a 34 in (86 cm) waist, choose a belt that’s labeled 36 in (91 cm) to 38 in (97 cm). You don’t have to get real leather, of course. But your dress belt should look like leather. It looks more formal and will also match your shoes. A casual, everyday belt can be made of pretty much any material you like. Cloth belts are usually your best bet, just because they’ll match a lot of things (as opposed to something like a snakeskin belt). If you want, you can also choose 1 or 2 belts with a funky, fun pattern for casual occasions. Belt buckles come in lots of sizes and finishes. In general, the larger a belt buckle is, the more casual the look. Dress belts tend to have smaller buckles. If you’re picking an everyday belt, you can choose a slightly larger buckle. If you’re looking for a belt to wear with dress pants, choose a small buckle.  Belt widths will correspond to buckle size. So a belt with a large buckle will usually be wider. A dress belt with a smaller buckle will be more narrow. Large belt buckles tend to look more casual, while smaller, narrow buckles tend to look more formal. You don’t have to match the finish of your buckle exactly. If you tend to wear silver accessories and jewelry, look for silver buckles, but you can also wear gold buckles occasionally. Some common belt buckle types include single tongue, webbing, clip on, and clip latch buckles.

Whether you’re writing your game rules on a notepad, whiteboard, or printing in a pamphlet, take a look at how your favorite games format the instructions for inspiration and examples.  Take notes of how other instructions are formatted. Notice the hierarchy of the information explained. How the structure allows you to see the big picture. When writing your own rules try to follow a similar format. Make a checklist of sections to include that you see in other instruction books. You can even emulate the style if you want. When you write the instructions and information of your game, assume that people will be reading aloud. One person usually reads the instructions to the group.  Have the tense reflect someone reading out loud during the play of the game. This means that your tense and tone should default to present tense, active voice, and be pithy, or quick.   Whether you’re explaining the game that you created for the first time, or someone else is explaining it with your rulebook, you want to make the text quick and easy to understand. For example, if you have a board game about two countries at war, you might explain the objective like: “You are a member of one of the two countries at war. You are assigned a role to aid your country. The goal of the game is to work together to defeat the enemy country in one of three ways: You can win by destroying the country through war, assassinating the country’s leader, or being the first country to go into space.” With simple descriptions and an active voice you can easily get a good amount of information out. Players now know the objective and winning methods of the game. Instead of saying “When a player…” or “The player…” Try saying “When you…” as much as possible. This will help you to convey the rules of your game.  The second person helps you when reading, as well as other players learning the game in the future. There are times when you don’t have to use the second person. When describing what certain objects or tokens may do for a player, you can use “The...

Which loop you choose will partially depend on your pattern, but in a basic stitch, it should be the next loop over or the one after that. You can identify the loops by laying your work flat and looking at the bumps along the top edge where you are working. Your hook should be going in the front and out the back of the loop.

While Volumetrics is about maximizing the volume that you eat, you do want to stay within the boundaries of the serving sizes. Stick to the household measures that are given. Don't worry too much if the size of a can of beans, for instance, has a slightly different number of grams than the size of the can listed in the recipe, or if your egg doesn't weigh exactly 100 grams. Each recipe lists the number of calories, the calorie density and the amount of macronutrients included. They will tell you if recipes are suitable for leftovers, vegetarian or freezer-friendly.

While a company's profit is usually defined as its income minus its expenses, these two quantities are usually calculated from multiple sources of income and expenses themselves. Thus, if you're starting from scratch when calculating a business's profit, you may need to work with multiple values for sources of income and expenses, rather than single values for each. In this section, we'll break down a business's income and expenses to calculate profit in piecemeal fashion. Start with your net sales — the amount of money generated by the business from selling its goods and services, minus returns, discounts, and allowances for missing or damaged goods. To illustrate the process of breaking down a business's income and expenses, let's work through an example problem in this section. Let's say that we own a small company that makes high-end sneakers. For this quarter, let's say that we sold $350,000 worth of sneakers. However, due to a recall, we we had to pay out $10,000 in refunds. We also had to  pay $2,000 for unrelated returns and discounts. In this case, our net sales are $350,000 - $10,000 - $2,000 = $338,000. Businesses have to spend money to make money. Products need to be assembled from raw materials, and, because neither the raw materials nor the labor needed to assemble them are free, this means that it costs businesses money to make the products that they sell. This cost is called the cost of goods sold, or COGS. COGS includes the material and labor costs directly tied to the creation of the product being sold, but not indirect expenses like distribution, shipping, and sales force pay. Subtracting COGS from net sales gives a value called gross income.  In our sneaker company example, our company needs to buy fabric and rubber to make its sneakers and also needs to pay factory workers to assemble the raw materials into wearable products. If we say that we spent $30,000 on fabric and rubber and paid our factory workers $35,000 collectively this quarter, our business's gross income is $338,000 -...

While a country whose primary language is English is ideal, there are English-speaking communities in other countries as well.  Find such a community or country and stay there for an extended period of time; the longer you stay, the more proficient your language fluency will become. Even when you are unsure of exactly what to say all of the time, find a way to communicate only in English. Not giving yourself the option to “fall back” on your native language will help you become proficient in English more quickly and understand the system of the language more fully. If you are attempting an English immersion in a country that is not primarily English speaking, ask those around you to speak to you in English whenever possible. This can be tricky if you are attempting language immersion at home, but your family may benefit from the immersion experience as well; try to make it a fun learning experience for everyone! If you let go of your fear of “messing up” the language and focus instead on just communicating and getting to know people, you’re more likely to be successful.

While a power bank can be charged at any time, unnecessary charging may decrease its lifespan. Most power banks have 4 LED lights on the side. The lights will shut off as the battery diminishes. Wait to charge your power bank until only 1 or 2 lights are on. Your power bank should have come with a USB cord and wall adapter. Plug the larger end of the USB cord into the wall adapter. Then, plug the smaller end into your power adapter. Leave the power bank to charge. A computer or laptop can also be used to charge a power bank. Connect the smaller end of the USB cord into the power bank. Then, connect the larger end of the USB cord into your computer or laptop's USB drive. It will take longer to charge a power bank on a computer than it would with a wall charger.

While being popular can be fun, you should never put yourself in a situation that makes you uncomfortable just to please others. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, listen to this gut instinct. A negative gut reaction often points to a dangerous situation.  Back out of a situation when you become uncomfortable. Find a way to excuse yourself from a party or even if you get nervous. You can try making up a quick excuse if you do not want to get into a confrontation in the moment. For example, say something like, "Sorry, but I should get going. I'm coming down with a really bad headache." If you're attending an event where drugs or alcohol are being used, it's best to leave. You do not want to be popular at the expense of your own safety. There also may be legal consequences to underage drinking or the use of illegal drugs. If you're pressured into doing anything illegal, find a way to leave the situation fast. If you're going to a party where there may be alcohol or drugs served, plan what to do in the event you're pressured to partake. You can have a trusted friend on call who can help get you out of this situation. Negative peer pressure can often encourage you to bully or ostracize other students. Popular cliques in middle or high school often engage in bullying. Remember, bullying can have serious emotional consequences for the target. Avoid the temptation of gossip and do not be openly (or even not-openly) cruel to other students at your school. If you ever get bullied, go to a website called Stymie to anonymously file a report.  It can be very hard to try to resist negative peer pressure, but remember the benefits. You'll feel better about yourself and you may influence other peers to resist things like bullying and gossip as well. Peer pressure is not always negative. Sometimes, your friends may pressure you into a taking a risk that is worth it. Good friends, for example, will encourage you to submit your poems to that contest or ask your crush on a date. Friends may also expose you to new and...

While blades are recyclable, most city curbside recycling programs will not take them. They pose a health safety to the sanitation workers when placed with other recyclables. The blades can also mess up the recycling machines. While you can't just toss the blades in your curbside recycling program, you may be able to walk them in to the scrap metal section. Call the city's recycling program to see if that's an option for you.  You can find the contact information on your city's website under the sanitation department. Until you can dispose of your blades, keep them in a blade bank. You can buy blade banks online, or simply keep razors in things like prescription bottles, which are strong enough to hold the razors without danger. When you take your blades in to the scrap metal center, choose the steel recycling bin. Ask a worker if you can put them in the bin by themselves or if they need to be in a recyclable container to protect sanitation workers from being cut. Some stores, such as Whole Foods, have stations set up to return razors. Keep in mind, though, they may only take certain brands that are made to be recycled, so check the bin before putting your razors in. All you need to do is put the razors in the bin at the store. Typically, you can find these bins in the razor and toiletry aisle. Some razor companies and shaving cream companies have mail-in programs. Usually, you'll need to buy something from them, but others may let you mail in your razors without buying from the company. For instance, the shaving cream company Bikini Soft mails their products in a cardboard box. You can mail your razors back in the box, and it comes with a free shipping label.

While each community has its own codes for building chimneys, most codes are based on the National Fire Protection Agencies 211 standard. Go to the NFPA website to review national fire code associated with chimneys. The code is available online for free. This code should guide all aspects of the function of your chimney.   Two general requirements of the 211 standard are that chimneys be at least 3 feet (90 centimeters) taller than the highest point where it goes through the roof of a single structure and 2 feet (60 centimeters) taller than any portion of the building or any adjacent building within 10 feet (3 meters) of the chimney. The taller the chimney, the better it drafts. A chimney also needs at least a 2-inch (5-centimeter) clearance from combustible material if it is built in or through the walls of a house and a 1-inch (2.5-centimeter) clearance if built alongside the house. The most common material for a chimney is brick or masonry, but prefabricated metal chimneys are also widely available. If building a masonry or brick chimney, you will need to figure out how big it will be to estimate how many bricks to order. If using a prefab metal chimney, you will need to measure the distance from your stove, or other appliance, to the location where it is exiting the house.  Masonry chimneys are usually required to have walls at least 4-inches (10-centimeters) thick. Standard chimney bricks should come in this thickness. This will determine whether your chimney can vent multiple appliances or if it will vent only one.   It is possible to build chimneys for several appliances and connect them to a main discharge flue, sized to handle the combined output, provided the subordinate flues for the individual chimneys are not angled more than 30 degrees off vertical and they vent the same type of by-product. In other words, a chimney for a gas range can be combined with one for a gas furnace, but not a wood-burning fireplace. Flues also must not change in shape or size within 6 inches (15 centimeters) above or...

While each publisher or agent may have their own guidelines for formatting, generally you will need to double-space your work. Use a 12-point font such as Times New Roman.  If you don't have guidelines, you should include your name and the title of your work at the top of every page. Always use one-inch margins when submitting work for publication. Whatever you submit to a publisher or agent needs to be pristine. Carefully read through your work to eliminate any typos, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, or missing words. Edit for conciseness as well. Remove any unnecessary words, phrases, or clichés.  Try reading your entire synopsis out loud to catch any mistakes. You can hire a copyeditor to proofread it for you. Get a friend or professional copyeditor to look over the synopsis for you. They can give you suggestions about what you may need to change before submitting it to an agent or publisher. Do not just send the same synopsis out to every publisher. Instead, identify the submission guidelines of each agent or house, and change the synopsis to fit their guidelines.  For example, one publishing house may require you to cut down your synopsis to one page. In this case, focus on just the main conflict. Another may ask for four pages. In this one, you can go into more detail. If you do not tailor your synopsis to a publisher, they may not read your submission. Usually, the synopsis is part of a proposal that may also include a query letter and a sample of your written work. Every publisher and agent has their own guidelines for these submissions, so read their author submission rules carefully.  A query letter should contain a short summary of your work, a brief paragraph explaining your credentials, and a reason why the agent should accept your submission. A sample may include one or two chapters, one act of a screenplay, or one short story out of a collection. In most cases, it will be the first scene or chapter.

While each state has its own process, nearly every state will require you to fill out an application permitting you to sell firewood.  Obtain the application, fill it out, sign it, and take it to a state forestry office for approval. After being approved, you will likely be issued a stamp or tickets that can be used to label or bundles. Your name will also be added to a list of state-approved vendors. You will need a separate application for each county you harvest wood in and for each separate type of firewood. Since firewood sources and other details can change on a yearly basis, you will need to reapply as a vendor each year. Make sure that you renew your application on time. Typically, the deadline will arrive sometime in early to mid-fall. While some states will allow you to move firewood past state lines when strict conditions are followed, most states strongly discourage it, so it is easier and safer to only sell firewood locally. Firewood easily transports invasive insects. Selling firewood from your state to someone in another state could introduce that pest into another area, thereby spreading the problem. Moreover, since the insect will not be native to that area, there will not be as many natural predators to help reduce the population. Most states will only allow you to sell firewood in full or partial cords. A cord is a stack of firewood measuring 128 cubic feet (39 cubic meters). Similarly, a half cord is 64 cubic feet (19.5 cubic meters) and a quarter cord is 32 cubic feet (9.8 cubic meters).  The dimensions of the pile do not need to be precise as long as the total volume equals the correct amount. For instance, the stack could be 4 feet (1.2 meters) wide, 4 feet (1.2 meters) high, and 8 feet (2.4 meters) long, but it could also be 2 feet (0.61 meters) wide, 4 feet (1.2 meters) high, and 16 feet (4.9 meters) long. You are not allowed to sell firewood using terms like "face cord," "rack," "pile," or "truckload." No matter how much firewood you sell, the moment you decide to become a firewood...

While employers will require an SSN, it is possible to make small amounts of money as a self-employed person without having an SSN.  The typical rule is that if you earn more than $400 in the course of a year as a self-employed person, you are required to file a return, and would therefore require an SSN. Note that while it may be tempting to be paid in cash for doing small jobs, or even running a small business, this is ultimately illegal. The IRS can audit you, and will be able to identify unreported cash income using your bank statements, or by noting any discrepancies between income and lifestyle or assets. It is possible to make under $400 without reporting, and therefore you can find jobs that would pay under that. There are multiple options to consider.  Quick jobs include babysitting, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, walking dogs, or doing small repairs or odd jobs for friends or family. Consider what your skills are, and target your jobs to tasks that fall within what you are good at. The best way to locate potential customers is to start by asking friends or family. They may need odd jobs done, or know somebody needs odd jobs done. Consider printing flyers as well, or handing them door-to-door. If, for example, you want to quickly make some money mowing lawns, you can print out posters advertising your services and price, and place them on telephone polls. You can also hand them out to individuals who you feel may need the service, such as elderly people, or individuals who have busy lifestyles.
