This helps because you won't be scrambling the next morning gathering your things and you can get as much rest as possible. Pack things such as towels, two pairs of goggles, two swim caps, fruit, nuts, water, and an energy beverage that contains electrolytes to resupply your/the swimmer's lost minerals. For example; ask your coach what time warm-ups are, what events your swimming, and whether or not the meet has positive check-in. (Positive check-in is when you have to write your initials next to your name on a sign-in sheet. This lets the officials know that you are there and so they write out the heats so that there are no empty lanes.) Eat plenty of carbohydrates and proteins but don't eat something too heavy or completely out of the norm. Stay away from acidic foods (including tomato and tomato sauce), for they will upset your stomach and cause cramps. The best plan is to eat something simple and easy to digest. Although pizza, chicken wings, and plates of pasta may seem like "power food," the reality is that they will sink you like a rock. Carb loading is a technique that is outdated and since been proved inefficient and unhelpful unless in special circumstances only usually encountered at an elite level. If it is a multi day swim meet, warm down after every event. If a warm down pool is unavailable, conditioning exercises such as jogging, jumping jacks, and wall push ups then follow with static or dynamic stretches. If you go to bed at midnight every night for a week and get 5 hours of sleep every night for a week, getting 10 hours of sleep the night before is not going to help you. You will still be exhausted the day of the swim meet.

This helps to ensure that it maintains healthy bones and joints while it is growing. The puppy should remain on this diet until it is around 18 months of age. It can then be considered an adult and gradually be switched to adult food. This will give the American Bulldog the protein it needs and it will limit the number of carbohydrates it consumes. Crude protein should be no less than 30 percent and crude fat no less than 20 percent. The fiber content needs to be 4 percent or less. American Bulldogs are large breed dogs and thus are susceptible to GDV. This is a life-threatening condition and requires immediate veterinary treatment. To help prevent this from occurring there are several things related to feeding that can be done. Feed two or three smaller, non-fatty meals a day, not in elevated bowls, and don’t mix dry food and water. Also, restrict your dog’s activity for at least an hour after feeding and discourage them from drinking large amounts of water at one time. It is always important to allow your dog access to a fresh, clean water source. This breed will need to drink as desired. Keep a hand towel nearby for wiping up excessive drool or slobber that, unfortunately, is a common occurrence for this breed. American Bulldogs tend to have short, smooth hair that rarely requires bathing. In general, their coat is easy to maintain. Just give your pup a bath if it rolls in something smelly or is physically dirty. American Bulldogs do shed much more than you would think. Invest in lint rollers for your furniture and clothes if shedding becomes an issue for you. Because American bulldogs have short muzzles, which gives their face a "smushed" appearance, some dogs tend to have excess skin folds between their eyes and nose. It is easy for dirt and moisture to get stuck in these facial folds and cause irritation and odor. Be sure to clean or wipe in between the skin folds regularly with a damp paper towel or washcloth and mild soap.  Try to avoid getting any soap into your dog's eyes. If this happens, rinse its...

This includes giving your partner the same level of respect and attention you did from the start. Many relationships end as one partner just stops respecting the value or feelings of the partner and fall into old habits they never would have done early on.  For example, texting an old flame after you are married shouldn’t happen. If you wouldn’t expect a new date to be OK with that, why should your spouse ignore it simply because you are married?  Treat your partner with the utmost respect. Strive to make him or her smile. Make an effort to schedule quality time shared between the two of you. Never lose sight of how important trust is to keep your relationship healthy. When one or the other partner is not trustworthy, doubt creeps into the relationship. You can build or repair loss trust by:  Being there for your partner, both physically and emotionally Being consistent in your actions Showing up when you say you will Keeping confidences Respecting your partner’s personal boundaries Doing what you say you will do You cannot expect another person to complete you or to be everything that you are. It is healthy to share interests and to also maintain some activities you do apart. When you enter into a partnership you become a team but each part of the team will gain something from also taking time to be an individual. A relationship should allow you to be your core self, while giving you someone to love and cherish. It will not be good for you or your partner if one of you become codependent and requires the other to take an interest in anything. Support these dreams and also recognize you cannot make all of them come true. You are there to love and encourage their dreams, not to take responsibility for achieving them. While the two of you should have separate dreams, it can also be unifying to have shared goals that you work towards as a team. Have a talk with your partner and brainstorm some dreams you’d like to accomplish together. It can be brought simply by stating "I think it'd be great if we set some...

This includes the things on your bed, things under your bed, things from the wardrobe and everything in storage in your room. Make 5 separate piles: keep, throw away, storage, give away, and not sure. Sort out everything into these piles. Also, empty the trash can. Make sure nothing in this pile is broken, and check to see if there's anything someone you know could have, then put all these items into the bag. Take it to a charity later. Think whether you really need to keep them. If they have no functional use and you don't really want them on show, yet are of sentimental value then put it in the 'storage' pile. A good way to test whether you really need something is checking if the last time you used or looked at something was in the past few months. If it wasn't, then you probably don't need it. Hopefully the room is starting to look tidier now you've sorted things out. The storage things go.. you guessed it, into storage. This could be a basement, garage, attic, or storage boxes in your room. Put all these things away. Dust, wipe, and wash all surfaces in your room, including doors, light switches and windows. Vacuum your room, and take any cups or plates out of your room. Don't skip the hard to reach / under the bed / in the corner spots. Move small pieces of furniture so you can reach everywhere. Then clean each "keep" item thoroughly, either in bucket filled with hot water and dish soap or with rags and plenty of disinfecting cleaner. Your room should now be fully clean and tidy.

This includes their name, age, birth place, where they live, and their basic personal details, such as their species and sex or gender if they have one. List as many details that you can think of right now. It’s okay if you don’t know everything yet.  You could write, “Alice, 25, born at home, lives in a small rural town called Wisty, human witch, female, has magic.” If you’re not sure about a detail, leave a blank space for it so that you can come back later. Sometimes it takes time to really understand a character. Every character should have a function in the story you’re telling. Consider what your OC is going to contribute to the story, then assign them a basic role. It’s okay if you go back and change this later, but it’s good to have an idea.  For instance, your character might be the hero, the villain, the femme fatale, the wise elder, the romancer, or the helper. As an example, a female character who uses her looks to hide the fact that she’s a dangerous thief might be a femme fatale. It’s okay if your character has more than 1 role. For instance, a male character who falls in love while rescuing a city might be both a hero and a romancer. Ask yourself how your character will look. Then, describe their basic physical features, how they typically dress, and how they move and stand. Be as detailed as you want to be at this stage. You can always add more details later. You might write, “Alice is short, curvy, and has pale skin. Her hair is black and curly, and her eyes are grey with yellow sparkles. She usually wears black, royal blue, or dark purple clothes, typically dresses. Her hands are scarred from potions accidents, and she has a scar on her chest from a spell that went wrong. She’s proud of her witch heritage, so she always stands up straight and walks with her chin slightly lifted.” Describe your character's past and how it’s brought them to this point in the story. Discuss what they’ve done as well as things that have happened to them. Include the major details that shaped them as a character....

This includes things like your wallet, sunglasses, keys, hand sanitizer, and lip balm. If you have any pockets in your purse, consider putting the smaller items (such as lip balm) into them. This will not only reduce clutter, but also make it easier to reach in and grab what you need; you won't have to rustle through your purse for five minutes to find that tiny tube of lip balm. Instead of carrying a full-sized lint roller or bottle of lotion, opt for travel-sized ones instead. You will need to refill them more often, but they will save space and make your bag significantly lighter. If you can't find any travel-sized versions of your favorite lotion, consider getting an empty, travel-sized shampoo container and filling it up instead. Many items come in travel-size, including tissues, hair brushes, and lint rollers. A simple pouch will keep similar items together, and prevent you from having to rummage through your purse each and every time you need something. It doesn't even have to be a fancy pouch; a plastic, zippered bag will also do in a pinch. Be sure to have a separate pouch for each set of items; you don't want to keep your coins with your makeup! Here are some items that you can put into pouches:  Manicure sets Medication Feminine care products Pens, pencils, post-its, and other stationary items Many wallets even have special slots for these types of cards. If you want to get super-organized, sort them alphabetically.  See if your loyalty cards are available in app form. This can save you lots of space because everything will be stored on your phone. Store the cards you use the most in your wallet, and the cards you use less often in a separate pouch. You can keep them in your wallet or in a mini, accordion-style file holder. You should also have a system in place for them, including how often you go through them and throw them away. The last thing you'd want is to hoard receipts that expired five years ago.

This infection can develop from a sexually transmitted infection, so practicing unsafe sex, particularly with multiple partners, puts you at risk for epididymitis. If you've had unsafe sex recently and you're exhibiting symptoms, that could mean you have this condition.  Wear a latex or nitrile condom every time you have sex, even if you're not having vaginal sex. You need protection, whether you're having oral, anal, or vaginal sex. Epididymitis is commonly caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and certain bacterias transmitted during anal sex. Frequent use of catheters can lead to urinary tract infections and epididymitis. Similarly, a recent surgery in the groin area may also lead to this condition, so consult your doctor if you think this may be the cause of your issues.  Enlarged prostates, fungal infections, and use of the antiarrhythmic drug amiodarone may also lead to this condition. Chronic epididymitis is commonly associated with granulomatous reactions such as tuberculosis (TB). While uncommon, trauma to your groin, including being kicked or kneed in that area, can lead to this condition. If you've had a recent injury to that area and are experiencing the noted symptoms, you could have epididymitis. While there are other, rarer causes like tuberculosis or the mumps, your doctor may not find a cause at all. Sometimes, you just develop this condition for seemingly no reason. Whether your situation has a known cause or not, the doctor isn't there to judge you. They just want to help you get better.

This is a 1/4 size guitar, which makes it small enough for a young child. It’s about 20% smaller than an adult-sized guitar, making it easier for a child to hold. Look for a 30 in (76 cm) guitar at your local music store or online.  While this size is made for children, it’s usually not safe to give it to children younger than age 4 because the strings are too sharp.  Get your child a toy guitar if they’re too small to hold a 30 in (76 cm) guitar comfortably. They aren’t ready for a real guitar, but a toy guitar can spark their interest. This is a 1/2 size guitar, so it’s still a bit smaller than an adult guitar. These guitars are also popular for travel because they’re so compact. Purchase a 34 in (86 cm) at your local music shop or online. This is typically the hardest age group to buy for because they can range in height. If your child is very tall for their age, you may decide to go up to the next size. Have your child hold the guitar to make sure the size feels right. This is a 3/4 size guitar, and you’ll find a wide range of options because it’s the most commonly sold child size. Pick a 36 in (91 cm) guitar if your child is almost ready for a full-size guitar but is still too small to comfortably play it. You can find these guitars at your local music shop or online. This size is the most popular child size because most kids start playing guitar when old enough to play a 3/4 size guitar. Unless your child is very small for their age, they’re ready for a full-size guitar once they reach the age of 12. Let your child hold an adult guitar to make sure they feel comfortable. If they do, go ahead and get the full-size version. If your child is small for their age, don’t buy a full-size guitar hoping your child will grow into it. They’ll have a hard time learning to play an instrument that’s too big, which may discourage them from playing. Your child should be able to comfortably hold the guitar and reach around to play it. Have them sit down and hold the guitar on their lap in the store, if possible. Ask...

This is a Windows utility that allows you to manage all of your connected disks. Your drive should appear in this utility, even if it isn't formatted properly.  Press the Windows key + R and type diskmgmt.msc. This will launch the Disk Management Utility. Look for your USB drive in the list of connected drives. If your USB drive is listed, it may not be formatted correctly. Click here for instructions on trying to format it. If your USB drive is not listed, read on for some troubleshooting tips. Before continuing, the quickest troubleshooting method you can try is plugging the USB drive into another USB port on your computer. Be sure to try a port directly on the computer, not a USB hub. If the drive works in another USB port, the first one you tried is likely dead. There's not much you can do about this short of replacing your motherboard. Just try to avoid using that port in the future. If the drive still does not appear when plugged into another computer, there's a good chance that the drive is dead. You may need to replace it. If the drive appears when plugged into another computer, there may be an issue with the drivers on your computer. See the next section for instructions on dealing with driver issues.

This is a basic woodwork project and doesn’t require anything too elaborate. You’ll need a saw (jig-saw if you have one), electric screwdriver, and screws (3-4 dozen). If you don’t have an electric screwdriver, you could also use a hammer and nails. Screws hold the squirrel house’s design more securely than nails. Keep the following on hand as well:  Measuring tape Pencil and paper First aid kit Sandpaper Scrap lumber will work just fine for this project. Exterior grade plywood could be used, but this material is easier for the squirrels to damage. Two boards should be 12” x 12” or larger to be used as the floor, roof and overhang. You’ll also need two additional 35” x 6”.  The six is based off the average squirrel size. If you notice larger species such as Red or Grey squirrels, use a wider size wood. Use something between 6” and 10” You don’t need to follow these exact dimensions, if you acquired enough scrap wood. The key to a good squirrel house is for the roof to overhang slightly. To achieve this, the front board should be one inch shorter than the back board. Use your measuring tape to  mark 18” on one board and 17” on another board. Draw legible and straight lines with your pen across the board.  Use your saw and cut along the line in an even fashion. Take your time sawing. A good cut is better than a quick and choppy cut. Again these are the measurements for this squirrel house. You can make your house smaller, but don’t make it bigger. Squirrels enjoy compact spaces. The sides must be the same width as the front and back panels. The side panels require a more advanced cut. You’ll need to measure 18” on one edge and 17” on the other edge. Each plank's top will be cut into a slanted edge. Use your measuring tape to mark the right measurements.  Draw a line to connect the 18” marker to the 17” marker. Use a ruler to create a straight and even line. Take your time to create a clean cut with your saw. You should now be able to see the panels align with the front and back walls. Now you need to create an...

This is a classic quick fix that really works. Castor oil acts as an irritant to the intestinal lining, causing a bowel movement to happen. Taking a teaspoon is an effective way to relieve constipation, but be very careful not to take too much, since it can lead to gastrointestinal problems if you overdose.  Take the exact dose suggested on the packaging of the castor oil you buy, and no more. Avoid taking it before bed, since it may cause you to spend some time in the bathroom. The salt mixed with water acts as a laxative by helping hydrate your stool to make it easier to pass. Mix a spoonful of epsom salt into a glass of water and let it dissolve, then drink the solution. In an hour or so, the constipation should pass. Dandelion root that has been dried and made into tea has been an herbal remedy for constipation for many years. You may find relief from mild constipation by drinking dandelion tea every day. It's a safe and beneficial herb, though no conclusive studies have been conducted to prove it works. You can buy dandelion tea that has been prepackaged, or buy loose dried dandelion root to make your own. Let it steep for five minutes, then stir in some honey to enjoy. Senna is an herb that stimulates the muscles in the bowel to contract, enabling you to pass stools. It works well to relieve prolonged constipation, with other methods you've tried aren't effective. However, senna can have side effects, so talk to your doctor before using it if you have a preexisting condition related to your digestion. Don't use senna for longer than 2 weeks.

This is a common but formal way of saying "thank you." It's often used in situations where you really want to stress your gratitude (like if you've been given a gift). You may also want to use it with important business contacts, authority figures, and people who are older than you. This word is pronounced in three parts:  Lay your tongue against the top of your mouth to pronounce "dha" with a soft d sound that's close to the English "dh" sound. Use the short u sound (as in "stuff"). It should sound close to the English word "the." This part is not said with an "ah" sound. Next, say "nyuh." Again, don't use the "ah" sound. Now, say "vod." Here, you will use the "ah" sound. All together, it should sound a little like "dhun-yuh-vaad." " If you're especially grateful for something, you can use the superlative "bahut." This means essentially "very much" or "a lot" and is used a lot the way English speakers might use "very." This word is pronounced in two parts:  First, a short "buh" sound. Next, a more forceful "hut" sound. Put the stress on this part — the whole thing should sound like "buh-HUT." Say "dhanyavaad" after this to complete the phrase. See above for pronunciation help. This is another polite, formal way to say "thank you." The actual meaning in English is a little closer to "I am grateful." This word is pronounced in four parts:  Say "obb." (rhymes with "rob"). This part isn't pronounced like the English word "ab." Next, say "ha." Then, say "ree." The r sound you want to use here is very similar to the Spanish r — it should sound almost like "dee" in English. Finish with "hoon" (rhymes with "toon"). All together, it should sound like "obb-ha-dee hoon."

This is a crucial step for achieving a beautiful, balanced finish. Bleaching removes the color from hair's pigment, and eventually what remains is a yellow tinge - this is the natural color of keratin, or the hair's protein. Most of the time, this is not what we're after. That's where toners come in: these colors help balance out undesired tones, adding subtle nuances to your hair color and helping you get just the blonde you want.   Dark hair usually has red or orange undertones, so bleaching tends to turn it orange. Blue toners balance orange, violet toners balance yellow, and blue-violet balance orange-yellow. In short, you want a toner that contains the color opposite to your undertones on the color wheel in order to neutralize. If in doubt, take a look at a color wheel to see where you fall.  For white hair, choose a toner that is specified for white. You cannot bleach your hair white: you have to tone it.  If you have any question about which toner to pick, you may want to go to a beauty supply store for professional advice, or consult a hairdresser. The following are general guidelines, but be sure to follow manufacturer's instructions.  Mix 1 part toner to 2 parts 10 or 20 volume developer. If you have black hair consider using 40 volume; however, keep in mind that the strength of 40 volume developer may be very harsh, and will severely burn if it touches your skin.  Please seek medical attention if you receive a chemical burn! Apply toner evenly from root to tip, using the same sectioning technique described above for bleaching. Many toners require only 10 minutes, so apply as quickly as possible and keep close track of time. Check your progress every 5 to 10 minutes using the same strand technique described above for bleaching. Be careful not to overtone white hair, which can result in yellowish or grey color. Shampoo and condition, then style as usual. Remember to discard any unused bleach and toning mixture when you're finished.

This is a cute, versatile, and comfortable look. Go for a simple style by pairing your Oxfords with a basic white T-shirt and plain jeans. You can substitute the T-shirt for a tank top or sweater, depending on the weather. Keep the look simple by pairing it with neutral-colored Oxfords, or wear metallic Oxfords for livelier style. You can liven up the look with a print T-shirt or colorful accessories—like a brightly colored belt. Oxfords are typically dress shoes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t dress them down. Pair your Oxfords with a pair of nice sweatpants and a T-shirt. If you want to dress up the look a little, you can pair the sweatpants with a military jacket. Wear this outfit with a pair of colorful or metallic Oxfords. You don’t need long pants to wear Oxfords. Pair black Oxfords with denim shorts, the T-shirt of your choice, and a leather jacket. If leather jackets aren’t your thing, trade the jacket for a light sweater.  Wear a pair of black socks with black Oxfords. You can also choose to wear metallic or colorful Oxfords. Shirtdresses are a cute and comfortable choice for a day out. Pair a plain shirtdress in a neutral color with the Oxfords of your choice. If you want a simple look, choose brown Oxfords. Go for platform Oxfords if you want to dress up the look a little while still keeping it casual.  Oxfords also look great with a semi-formal maxi shirtdress. Wear a pair of solid-colored tights with your outfit in colder weather. This is a great look for a night out or office environment. Choose a pair of neutral-colored Oxfords and pair it with a calf-length floral print dress. It’s also an option to wear a solid-colored dress or choose a different pattern altogether.

This is a delicious treat that incorporates coconut oil.   Break 2 ounces of dark chocolate into pieces, and melt it in the top of a double boiler.

This is a fun way to make the stocking last a little while longer as the person is opening it while keeping the contents a surprise. Use normal wrapping paper or newspaper to wrap up the stocking items. The scrap pieces of wrapping paper left over from wrapping large gifts are great for wrapping stocking stuffers. These objects will be used to fill the toe of the stocking. Look at the items that go in the stocking and see which ones would fit well at the bottom, making sure they aren't fragile or easily crushed, as they'll be holding the weight of the rest of the stocking. Many people put oranges at the toe of the stocking. While most other items will fit in the leg of the stocking, put the longest items in first so that they don't stick out too far. Taller items might include things like long candy canes, rolled up magazines, or a watercolor set. If you've wrapped most of the items in the stocking but kept one or two unwrapped just for looks, place these peeking out of the top of the stocking. This will tie together your stocking, making it look festive and creative. For example, leave a tiny stuffed animal at the top of the stocking, peeking over the side.

This is a good precaution with any medication. You should not apply Frontline before reading the instructions manual. If your pet has any underlying health concerns, you should talk to a vet in addition to reading the instructions manual. Frontline for dogs and cats are not the same product. Many people think they can be used interchangeably, but this is not the case. Make sure you do not use Frontline for dogs on cats or vice versa.  If you accidentally used Frontline on the wrong type of pet, contact your vet immediately. Your pet could have an adverse reaction. If you want a product that can be used on both cats and dogs, look into Frontline spray. Each applicator contains a single dose of Frontline. You should not share applicators between pets. If you do so, neither pet will get a full dose. This can prevent the product from working effectively.

This is a great compound exercise that works a variety of muscles in your back, arms and shoulders.  Grab a pull-up bar with both hands.  Position your hands so they are a little emote than shoulder width apart and have your palms facing away from you. Pull yourself up until your chin is just above the bar.  Slowly lower your body back down until your arms are almost straight.  Repeat the exercise as many times as necessary. One of the best things about push ups is, because they are bodyweight exercises, you can do them anywhere. You can also do all sorts of variations to increase the difficulty.  Begin with your hands on the ground, directly under your shoulders, your legs extended straight behind you. Your back should be straight, your core tight and engaged.  Lower your body, keeping your back straight and your elbows against you; don't let them flair out to the sides. Do this by pulling your shoulder blades back and down. Lower yourself until your chest grazes the floor.  Push yourself back up to the starting position. Make sure your core remains engaged.  Repeat 10 to 20 reps. Again, this is another type of compound exercise that works a large variety of muscles including your back and arms.  It specifically is targeting the back of your arms and shoulders.  To get the most benefit from this exercise use parallel bars.  Place one hand on each bar and grip tightly.  Suspend yourself by lifting your feet off the ground — you'll need to engage all your arm and back muscles to do this. Slowly lower yourself down by bending your elbows.  Bend them so they are facing backwards while keeping your arms parallel to your body. Lower until your upper arms are about parallel to floor.  Push yourself back up to the starting position.  Lower again to start another rep. This exercise is a great move to build strength and mass.  It works the chest and arms.  Lie back on an adjustable bench that's set to a 30-45 degree angle.

This is a great option if you only plan on living in your tent for a short period of time. Let them know it’s only temporary and offer to help out with chores around the house. They may let you use their bathroom and cook in their kitchen. Offer to work on their farm in exchange for them letting you live in your tent there. Since you'll be living on private property, you won't have to worry about being bothered by strangers. Visit https://wwoofinternational.org to look for local farmers offering a place to stay in exchange for work. Look online for nearby dispersed campsites that are free. At a campsite, you’ll have a flat, cleared-out spot to set up your tent, and maybe even a fire pit. Some campsites also have communal bathrooms you could use. Make sure you check on the campground's website if they require reservations.  Find out how long you’re allowed to stay at the campsite before you go there. Most dispersed campsites have limits on how long you can stay. These limits can range from a week to several weeks. After the limit is up, pack up your tent and relocate to a different campsite. Try to find free campsites that are open to the public year round. Try to avoid busy cities and parks. Make sure you’re not setting up your tent on private property. Investigate the area carefully and check for any signs that say “private property.” Keep in mind that even though a spot isn't privately owned, you still might not be able to set up your tent there. Choose a remote place in the woods or countryside where you'll be less likely to be bothered by the police or park rangers.

This is a great time to refuel and rehydrate. It will also give you a chance to have a rest and plan the second half of your day. After lunch remember to reapply your sunblock and go to the toilet. Some parks might offer group activities for children, arcade games, or adult only pools. This is a great time to explore what else the park has on offer. If you are feeling tired from the day's activities, your water break might be a nice time to relax on a sun lounger, read a book, or have a snooze.

This is a messy method meant for messy cupcakes, so a bowl is preferable to a plate. This method is rarely used when eating a cupcake in good condition. Instead, this method works best for cupcakes that are otherwise inedible because they are too crumbly or because the frosting is too runny. Press down onto the cupcake using the tines (the pointy part) of the fork, smashing the cake down until it is completely broken apart. Stir the crumbled cake pieces and the frosting until clumps of sticky cupcake goodness form. You will need a sufficient amount of frosting to make this work. If your cupcake is lacking in frosting and you cannot get it to clump up, consider adding more frosting or a dollop of jam or similarly sticky spread to the crumbled up cupcake. Pick up the clumps of cupcake with your fork and eat them that way. If the clumps fall apart when you stick your fork through them, switch to a spoon.

This is a pour-over type of coffee making device that makes strong coffee.  Boil some water. You will need 1 to 2 cups. Let it sit for 1 minute to cool slightly. Ideally, the water should be between 175 and 195 degrees rather than at boiling temperature. Measure out two Aeropress scoops of coffee. Grind the coffee with an electric grinder. For an espresso based drink like a latte, make the grinds very fine (as fine as table salt). The grinds will stick together and clump when they are finely ground. This is what you should watch for when grinding. Assemble the filter in the Aeropress cap. Wet the filter in the Aeropress. This will prepare the filter and remove any paper taste from your coffee. Place the Aeropress on top of your cup. Make the coffee. You will need to add the coffee and water to the Aeropress. Add ground coffee to the cup using the funnel. Add hot water up to the fill line on the Aeropress. Use the paddle stirrer or a spoon to mix the coffee and water. Insert the plunger onto the Aeropress and press down until you hear a long hiss. Taste the coffee. If it is too strong you can add some hot water to dilute it. If you don't have a pour over device like an Aeropress, you can use a regular filter coffee maker.  Use 1-2 scoops of coffee per cup of coffee made. You will want the coffee to be very strong to make a latte. Preferably, you can grind the coffee yourself to a finer grind. You will need 1-2 cups of coffee for a latte. It is a common misconception that you need a milk steamer to froth milk! You can do this using your microwave:  Use a non-fat milk, such as 2 percent, for best results. Pour some cold milk into a jar with a lid. Do not fill the jar more than halfway. Seal the lid tightly. Shake the milk in the jar vigorously for 30 to 60 seconds, until the volume has doubled. Take the lid off of the jar. Microwave the milk on high for 30 seconds. The foam will rise to the top.

This is a romance tool that extends into the mature dating world. Ask about her to her friends and tell them you like her. Do not play hard to get. Let her know that you are interested in her. If she shows you any attention make sure to return the affection. Even if it sounds frivolous, try saying something like this to her friend:  "Hey do you know if Lauren has a boyfriend?" "I want to ask Kris to the movies. You think she’d go with me?" Use your friends to relay information as well. While making a girl jealous may seem like a way to make her notice you, in the end, you aren't getting attention in the right area. Focus on making the girl you like feel appreciated rather than jealous. Think about what you truly like about this girl and tell her directly. It should not be over the top. You can casually slip in a compliment within a conversation. Try compliment her on what she is wearing if it looks good.  If you notice she got a haircut, compliment her on it. Try complimenting her if she is wearing something that looks like it took effort.  Compliment her in aspects other than her appearance like: "Woah, Sujata, you really killed it on the electric guitar" or "I wish I was as good as you at Math." Be there for her if she needs assistance in any way, whether it is helping her carry something heavy, cleaning up a spill, or helping her with a math problem. She will notice the time you took out of your day to help her. Portray genuine interest when listening to what she has to say. Ask her questions about what she is telling you so that she knows that you care. Try not to talk about yourself too much and instead ask her questions. Your chemistry together will increase if you engage properly in conversation.  You can also try asking open-ended questions, or ones that require more than a yes or no response. Try something like "So Jamie, what movie would you recommend?" or "How did you figure out that problem so fast?" This will establish a closeness with her that could develop into something more.

This is a simple stretch that can be done anywhere is great for stretching out the front of your arms, deltoids and shoulders.  Hold on to the edge of a door with one arm.  Your arm should be extended straight and not bent. While holding on to the door, walk forward until your arm is at about a 45 degree angle behind you. Press through your shoulder and the front of your arm until you feel a slight stretching sensation.  Do not push too hard or until there is pain. Hold for a few moments and then switch arms. In addition to building strength, stretching and flexibility is an equal counterpart to a gymnast's strength.  Cow's face exercises help stretch the shoulder joint.  Stand with your feet hip width apart and toes facing forward.  Clasp your hands behind your back and interlock your fingers. Lift your arms slightly until you feel a mild stretch in the front of your arms and shoulders.  Do not continue if this hurts or causes any pain. If your arms can't reach behind your back, hold on to two ends of a towel.

This is a simple way to make the girl more attracted to you. Shower regularly so that your hair and body are smelling clean, and wear clothes that you feel confident and attractive in. Doing small things like brushing your hair or putting together a nice outfit is more likely to attract the girl's attention. When you catch the girl looking at you, try to maintain eye contact for several seconds before smiling and looking away. This will hint to her that you really like her and will make her more interested in you.  When you're talking to her, look into her eyes to help form a meaningful connection. Try to avoid looking into her eyes for more than 3 seconds, as this verges more on staring. You can do this by just standing or sitting near her, as well as pointing your body so that it's facing her. Smile lots when she's around, and pay attention to any physical cues she gives to see if she likes you too.  Sit or stand up straight to show off good posture. Avoid crossing your arms to make you look more approachable and friendly. The compliments should be genuine and tell her what you like about her as a person, not just focusing on looks. For example, you might tell her that you love her personality, like how she treats her friends and family, or think she's great at her job or schoolwork.  Compliment her on her sports skills or artistic abilities. Say something like, “You have a beautiful smile,” or “You always make me laugh.” You could do this by telling a joke or funny story, or by teasing her lightly to get her to laugh. Getting her to laugh will help her feel more comfortable around you and will make her more attracted to you at the same time.  Talk about a funny story that happened to you when you were little. Tease her about something silly like her stuffed animal collection or any funny habits she has. Touch her gently on the arm, hug her when saying hello or goodbye, or put your arm around her shoulders when sitting or standing near one another. Small touches are a great way to tell her you're interested...

This is a tell-tale sign that your unit needs a refill of refrigerant. However, a broken thermostat may cause the same problem. If it’s a refrigerant issue, the air temperature will steadily grow warmer over time because your unit is slowly losing refrigerant. If a broken thermostat or other issue is causing the warm air, the temperature of the air will probably spike or fluctuate. Peek through the front window of the AC unit to inspect the pipes inside. If the pipes and coils look frosty or ice-covered, this means you’re experiencing a leak and slowly losing refrigerant. The leak needs to be repaired by a qualified HVAC technician or you’ll continue to experience the same problem. Adding refrigerant without fixing the leak may further damage your AC unit. Inspect the area around your furnace. If you see water pooling around it, this indicates condensation. Your coils were most likely icy, and now the ice has melted around the furnace area. The water can damage your furnace and compound your problems, so it’s best to have a qualified HVAC technician come out to inspect the issue. AC units are sealed tightly and the Freon should never leak. If you need to refill refrigerant, you probably have a leak. You will continue to experience the same issues until the leak is addressed. Adding more refrigerant is a quick fix, but eventually this will damage your unit.

This is a very common cause of oil-based stains on leather purses. When doing a routine wipe-down, check the handles and clasps particularly, since the natural oils from your hands may also cause oily stains. Dust can settle on the white leather and affect its appearance. If your leather bag came with a dust bag (many designer purses do), store your purse inside it when you aren’t using it. If you don’t have a dust bag, an old pillowcase or garment bag will work. The sun’s rays can damage the leather's surface. Make sure you store it in a non-humid area with no direct sunlight. Stuff the bag with newspaper while in storage. This will help the leather bag keep its original shape. Wipe the leather down first with a dry microfiber cloth to ensure there’s no lingering dust or dirt. Rub a small amount of the conditioner onto the surface of the purse. Allow it to sit for several minutes, which allows the leather to soak up the hydration. Gently wipe the conditioner off with a clean microfiber cloth.  Regular conditioning will keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Leather conditioner products can be purchased at shoe and department stores.

This is a very effective and inexpensive way to scare away geckos: they see eggshells and they think “predator.” Leave two eggshell halves around your home, such as at outdoor entryways, or in the kitchen.  Do not crush the eggshells, leave them in two halves. One two-halves pair at every entrance should be enough: the geckos just need to run into it, then they'll run away from it. To keep the eggshells fresh, change them every 3 to 4 weeks. Mothballs target moths, cockroaches, ants, flies – and geckos! A real household panacea! Leave some under the stove, refrigerator, or sink to repel geckos. Many of the insects that geckos eat are drawn to light, so, oftentimes, geckos will hang out in those areas. Placing some flypaper near light sources will not only catch geckos’ pesky food source, but will likely catch the geckos themselves.  A good position to place the flypaper is on the inside of the light bulb’s shade/housing. You can also set glue boards or sticky cards near windows or other outdoor entryways. If you find a live gecko stuck in one of your sticky traps, you can unstick it and set it free by pouring vegetable oil over the trap. It’s nasty – but humane! Using moist coffee grounds and some tobacco powder, form a small ball with your hands and stick it on the end of a toothpick. Put this near where the geckos are nesting or where they might easily find it, like an outdoor entryway. The geckos will consume some of this ball and die. Garlic’s strong odor isn’t just repellent to some humans, it’s also repellent to geckos, too! Leave a garlic clove around an outdoor entryway to keep them from entering that way ever again. Onion slices are another irritant that will drive geckos away. Cut an onion in half and leave it in a known gecko hiding place, somewhere warm and cozy that you’ve seen a gecko camping out, or by an outdoor entryway. The irritation felt by humans when sprayed by pepper-spray is not unlike that felt by geckos that encounter it. Mix some pepper and water in a spray bottle and spray the...

This is an absolute must. Some fabrics are ideally suited to soaking, but others will not stand up so well to the procedure. In general, heavy, durable fabrics are great to soak, whereas delicate garments might be better suited to a scrub. Be careful about soaking wool. It is a soft, delicate fabric, and a wool garment runs the risk of shrinking if you soak it for too long. If stains are especially bad, then it usually pays to rub on a small amount of detergent or the suggested stain removal agent directly to the stain. Run a web search to determine the best practice for a particular type of stain: e.g. grass, blood, food, urine.

This is an electrostatic process where plastic/epoxy powder is deposited in a very thin layer all over the surface and then baked on. The advantages of powder coating are flexibility, a very wide range of colors and textures, and the ability of the powder to adhere into small voids and cracks on the surface with out drips or runs. These are chemical formulations made to cause surface changes and coloration to metal. Some are used hot, while others are applied cold, there are many to choose from and they also allow you to highlight your project while maintaining a natural finish. Often waxes are applied afterwards to provide a final seal. Marine varnish is another way to put a final coat on your metalwork. Varnish has the advantage of being easy and forgiving to apply, however your work will have an obvious "clear coated" look that is not always desirable. Varnish is very easy to touch up later and to redo as maintenance at a later date without changing the overall finish. For painting small areas or writing on your metal, nail polish sticks very well and looks great. It comes in every shade imaginable, though, red hues are more widely available.

This is an important life skill that can reduce stress and frustration. Recognizing the problem will help you identify a situation which is problematic and learn how to deal with it. Understanding the cause of your frustration can also make you feel more in control of the situation. For example, if you are in a restaurant and still waiting on your waiter, you can recognize this as a problem because it is making you frustrated and angry. Take a moment to consider several possible actions you could take, such as having a tantrum, not saying anything at all, or removing yourself from the situation. The key to thinking about your options is to consider the consequence of each before acting. Choose an action that will reduce your frustration and change the situation. Once you've decided, put your plan into action in a way that will be well received. For example, instead of having a temper tantrum in the restaurant and regretting it later, you may choose to speak to the manager or move to a different table. These options may ease your frustration and anger. Take a moment to make sure you're you're in charge of your emotions. Avoid letting your anger control your actions. You might need to walk away from the situation for a few moments or collect your thoughts before reacting. Only try to handle the situation once you feel like you're able to engage with other people without throwing a tantrum. If you feel stuck and unable to express your feelings, learn to effectively express your anger. This can make you feel more in control of the situation. If someone is upsetting you, approach the person in a simple and direct way. Express how the situation made you feel and you may even want to request how you'd like the situation to be in the future. Be sure to focus on your feelings. For example, imagine you're in a restaurant and are waiting for your waiter to return. Once you've calmed yourself to prevent an outburst, your next step would be to ask to speak to the manager. Explain your dissatisfaction with the service and...

This is an important step if it's not obvious why the child is upset. Even if you do know, it can be useful for them to articulate their experience in their own words. Expressing themselves can help them process their emotions and develop emotional awareness.  Naming and discussing their emotions will help them recognize them more clearly in the future. For young children who cannot communicate their feelings, parents can state or reflect how the child is feeling: "You look upset." "You seem frustrated." "So your feelings are hurt." The child can then respond by either affirming or denying the reflected emotions. In this way, parents are teaching the child to identify and correctly label emotions and the child is recognizing and labeling his/her emotions. . It's important to mirror the child, especially early on in their life. Acknowledging the child's emotions will help them develop a confident sense of self-esteem.  For example, if your son/daughter is angry, you can say "I can see that you're angry right now. I know what it's like to feel angry. It's okay to feel angry." If they are too young to describe their experience, even just being there with them and paying attention to what they're doing can be a powerful form of mirroring. Listening to the child is one of the best ways to get them to listen to you back. It will also help them feel understood and appreciated. Follow these steps to be a good listener:  Be available. Establish an open relationship where they can talk to you whenever they feel the need. This could be as simple as encouraging them when they tell you about their lives. Reflect what they say. When they tell you about how they feel, rephrase it and ask if you got it right. Avoid jumping to conclusions. If you catch the child doing something wrong, allow them to explain themselves before you respond. Ask questions about their reasoning and try to understand. You want to acknowledge the child's feelings, but that doesn't mean that they need to rule you. It's important to be consistent and...

This is an important step in making your body and mind better. It can also clear up your skin and give you more energy. Adding fruits and vegetables to your existing diet, swapping out regular pasta for whole grain options, and changing red or fatty meats for leaner options are great ways to eat healthier. You should limit the amount of salt you include in your diet. Look for low-sodium versions of the foods most likely to have high amounts of salt like sauces, dressings, and prepared soups.  For example, if a recipe calls for a few vegetables, you can add a greater variety or increase the amount the recipe calls for this will widen your variety of food and keep you healthy. If a recipe calls for spaghetti, try a whole wheat pasta instead. If a recipe calls for ground beef, use ground turkey or chicken instead. Avoid processed foods as much as possible. Take the time to work on getting more fit. The endorphins you get from working out can make you feel happier and more confident about your body. You don't need to be super skinny or have a particular body shape to be pretty. Being healthy by exercising can make you pretty no matter what your body looks like.  There are so many ways you can get fit. Many people go running every day. Some people do workout videos. Some people go to the gym. Others use fitness games, hand weights, run up and down the stairs, hike, or just dance around the house.  You should really talk to your doctor before you start any kind of new and vigorous workout routine. Your doctor can best assess what your body can handle. Following a good skin care routine can also help you look prettier. At a minimum you should use a cleanser and moisturizer every day and a facial scrub a few times a week.  Using a sheer moisturizer with SPF can give you a natural looking dewy glow.  Use a loofah in the shower to get rid of dead skin and keep your skin looking bright and fresh. Eating a healthier diet can indirectly help the health of your nails, but there's also plenty you can do to benefit your...

This is best done in either a list or column format. You could write a numbered list with each hazard explained, or use 2 columns, one that describes the hazard and one that describes the safety procedures in place to deal with it.  This should be a step-by-step list that breaks down your work procedures and identifies any potential hazards. For example, if your workers will be bolting steel platforms together, there is a risk that they may hurt their neck or back while working. This could even be as simple as writing something like, “1. Unloading the truck; risk: falling equipment, 2. Use of power tools; risk: personal injury.” Try to be as specific as possible. This part of the method statement will take the longest, but it’s essential in showing that you understand the work you’re doing and how to handle every possible scenario. For each step, you need to write about how each potential hazard will be dealt with. For example, if your crew is putting up new walls and the risk is that the walls could fall, your safety precaution is to never have just 1 person working on that task alone.  You may also simply need to write things like, “Crew has received training on how to properly lift as a team to avoid back and neck injuries.” If workers will be dealing with sharp objects, you could write something like, “Crew members will be wearing safety gloves to protect them during the installation process.” If you don’t have the right permits, there is a legal and financial risk to both you and the company that hired you. Show that you know what is needed to follow all regulations. If you know the name of the permit but don’t have it yet, simply write that it hasn’t been finalized yet. This can come in handy especially if you are bidding for a job and haven’t been hired yet. Will there be a gate around the worksite? Will there be security personnel at the site after hours? Are there security cameras installed? This is your final step in completing your method statement, so think through what kinds of security measures...

This is considered a very effective acne treatment. It works by killing any bacteria in the area and can clear up pimples quickly. This is an OTC product and should be easily available at drug stores.  Be cautious when applying this around your mouth. If your acne is directly on your lips, you may want to forgo this treatment and use some of the non-chemical treatments below. Call your doctor if you develop a rash, itching, blisters, burning sensation, redness, or swelling. Benzoyl peroxide may cause dryness or peeling Strength ranges from 2.5% to 10% benzoyl peroxide. Start with the lowest strength and work your way up if needed. Ice helps fight the inflammation and redness from acne. It also constricts the blood vessels, which can force out some of the oil and bacteria and speed up recovery.  Wrap an ice cube in a towel or napkin and apply it to the affected area. Remove it after a few seconds. Wait a few minutes and repeat. Go through the process a few times. Repeat this treatment several times daily for maximum effect. The acidity of lemon juice will simultaneously kill bacteria and dry out the pimple. Dip a sterile cotton swab in the juice and apply it to your pimple before bedtime. Make sure you use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Bottled juice may contain preservatives that can irritate your skin.

This is different than determining the pH of your soil, and it's a really important move. Your soil type will tell you which method of acidifying you should use.  Soil that is already well-drained and relatively loose will make acidification much easier. This type of soil can benefit from large amounts of organic compounds that acidify the soil as they break down. Soil that is clumped with clay and seriously compacted will make acidification much tougher. Adding organic material to this type of soil will make it more alkaline, not less. In order to acidify these types of soils, organic materials are your best bet. Organic materials acidify the soil as they break down, but large amounts of them are needed to bring the pH down. Here are some nice organic materials you should consider using:  Sphagnum peat moss Composted oak leaves Compost and manure As mentioned earlier, adding organic materials to highly-dense soil can make problems worse, as your soil retains more moisture, making it more alkaline. For this reason, adding elemental sulfur or iron sulfate is the most surefire way to acidify soil with heavy clay components to it.  Elemental sulfur acidifies the soil as bacteria turns the elemental sulfur into sulfuric acid. It takes about 2 pounds of elemental sulfur per 100 square feet to reduce the pH of a soil that is 7 down to a pH of 4.5. Because elemental sulfur is slow to react, it's best to add it the year before planting in order to achieve the best results. Work the elemental sulfur into the soil, going as deep as 6 inches (15.2 cm). Iron sulfate relies on a chemical reaction to create acidity. It is therefore less dependent on temperature conditions than elemental sulfur, which depends on bacteria to produce a biological reaction.  It could take upwards of 10 pounds of iron sulfate for every 100 square feet of soil to reduce pH by one unit. If you are adding more than 10 pounds of iron sulfate for every 100 square feet of soil, then you will need to split it up into two applications, spaced one to...

This is due to sensory issues. Different autistic people have different sensitivities. To avoid upsetting someone, the easiest way is to just ask.   Some autistic people enjoy physical touch. Many autistic people will happily hug close friends and family members. When in doubt, ask. Say "Would you like a hug?" or move slowly, where the autistic person can see you and has the chance to ask you to stop. Never come up from behind to touch them, because you may startle them to the point of panic. Don't assume that they'll always feel the same way. For example, maybe your friend likes hugs on a good day, but doesn't like them if he's overwhelmed or busy. Just ask. An autistic person may get a headache from bright lights, or jump and begin to cry if you drop a dish on the floor. Remind the person about the autistic person's sensitivities, so they can help.   Explain that it is okay to ask about the autistic person's needs in order to accommodate them. For example, "Is this room too loud for you? Should we go somewhere else?" It is never okay tease someone about their sensitivities (e.g. slamming cabinets to see the autistic person jump). This can cause intense pain, fear, or even panic attacks and is considered bullying. Similar to routines, stimming can create a sense of safety and predictability. For instance, an autistic individual may hop in one spot repeatedly. They may also play the same song over and over, or draw the same picture. Repetitive behaviors help them being comfortable.   It is never okay to shame an autistic person for stimming, or try to force them to stop.  If an autistic person is stimming in a harmful way (e.g. head-banging or biting themselves), the other person can gently redirect them to something safer.

This is easiest if your Silhouette window isn't at full size. You can also convert GIF and PNG file formats with Silhouette. You can do this by clicking the image in Silhouette to select it, then clicking and dragging one of the small squares on the outline around the image. Resizing your file will reduce its quality. This is in the toolbar on the top-right side of your screen; it resembles a butterfly inside of a square. This option is at the top of the "Trace" menu on the right-hand side of your screen. This should be the part of the JPEG from which you wish to create a silhouette. After releasing the mouse, you should see a yellow outline around your target area. This will disable this option, which will refine the quality of your outline. If you're attempting to isolate a complex, high-quality image cut-out, you don't need to disable the High Pass Filter option. This will further emphasize the quality of your outline. Since this setting will vary depending on your image's complexity, feel free to experiment with different settings before making your final cut. This will create a slim outline of the outer part of your selected area. You can also click "Trace and Detach" to cut out your selected area. This will clear out your JPEG background or remaining material, leaving just your outline.  You can also click and drag your JPEG off of the Silhouette work window; this should leave an outline. If you used "Trace and Detach", this will remove all aspects of your JPEG except for the section you selected. This option is in the top right corner of your Silhouette window. After saving your project, you can print it, edit it further, or send it to a friend. You have successfully created a Silhouette cut-out of an image!

This is especially important if you have curly hair. Look closely at the labels of shampoos and conditioners before you purchase and use them.  Although Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is derived from palm and coconut oil, it has been linked to skin irritation and hair loss. It is also used as an industrial-grade cleanser. Try looking for shampoos and conditioners with natural and organic ingredients. Natural ingredients will restore natural oils to your hair. When you are washing it out, wash it out until it still feels like there is a bit in there and then (without touching) run cold water over your head with the shower head. Don't rinse anymore or run your fingers through it.  Leave-in conditioners are also widely available. Spray it in your hair after you've shampooed and showered, and leave it in until the next time you shower. Some leave-in conditioners help you style your style in addition to adding hydration. They are essentially a frizz-control agent. Just make sure that your hair isn't weighed-down and greasy after application. Dyes and relaxers can be very bad for your hair. If you feel like you have to do it, make sure not to leave the chemicals in your hair too long. Apply sparingly to prevent hair damage. Read the product's instructions to see how often you're supposed to wait between treatments. Keratin treatments, or Brazilian hair blowouts, can be especially damaging to your hair. They contain high levels of formaldehyde and can make your hair fall out. You may love your straightened hair, but your hair doesn’t love your flat iron. Straighteners, as well as curling irons and other heat-producing styling tools, can overheat and damage your hair, leaving it dry and brittle.

This is especially important if you're going to a wake or burial before or after the funeral. There is a lot of standing and walking at funerals, so you your shoes to be comfortable. High heels, for example, are not ideal. Make sure to stick to something formal and dark colored with your footwear.  Black dress shoes or flats are a good option. A nice pair of dark green, navy blue, gray, or black flats or dress shoes are always a great option for a funeral. If it's not a super formal funeral, dark-colored tennis shoes or converse sneakers can also work. Always err on the side of formality, however. If you're wearing a tie, make sure to play it down. Ties with bright colors or flashy patterns should generally be avoided. A solid colored tie, or a tie with no pattern, is your best option for a funeral. Make sure to select a darker color, like dark green, navy blue, or gray. However, there are exceptions to this rule. If you have, say, a novelty tie the deceased gave to you, family members may appreciate this gesture. You may want to check ahead of time, just to make sure this won't be taken the wrong way. If you wear makeup, keep it pretty minimal for a funeral. A funeral is generally a formal occasion. Just as you wouldn't wear dramatic, flashy makeup to your office, do not wear it to a funeral.  A light covering of foundation and a nude lipstick is best. Add a small amount of blush, if you want, as well as some very light eye shadow and mascara. As always, there may be exceptions depending on the wishes of family members. If you're, for example, going to the funeral of someone who worked in theater, family members may request flashier, theatrical makeup. If you're worried about picking the right jewelry, it's appropriate to go without for a funeral. In fact, this may help your outfit look more somber. However, if you want to add jewelry, stick to the classics. A string of pearls is vastly more appropriate than a bright, clunky necklace. If you wear earrings, choose respectful ones. Large dangly pieces, or hoop...

This is especially important if you're using a new essential oil for the first time, because you want to make sure you aren't allergic to it. To do a patch test:  Mix three drops of the oil you plan to use with ½ teaspoon (3 ml) of carrier oil, such as jojoba, almond, or walnut oil. Place a couple drops on your inner forearm, just below your elbow. Cover the area with an adhesive bandage. Keep the bandage on and don’t wash the area for 48 hours. After that time, remove the bandage and check for irritation, such as redness, itching, blisters, or swelling. If none of these symptoms appear, you aren't allergic to the oil and it’s safe to use in your shampoo.  Some essential oils shouldn’t be used on children under five, including basil, cinnamon lemongrass, thyme, bergamot, nutmeg, peppermint, rosemary, and sage.  Be careful not to get essential oils in your eyes, as they can cause irritation. To add essential oils to your shampoo, you will need a few things on top of your shampoo and the essential oils of your choice. Also gather a measuring cup, funnel, small mixing bowl, and dark glass or plastic bottle with a tight fitting lid.  Store your shampoo and essential oil mixtures in a dark bottle with a tight lid because light, heat, and oxygen can destroy the aromas and properties of the oils.  Always put the lid back on tightly after you’ve used essential oils or your shampoo.  Some essential oils in their concentrated forms can degrade plastics, so you should always store concentrated oils and blends in glass bottles. A good rule of thumb is to use about 20 drops of essential oil per ½ cup (120 ml or 4 oz) of shampoo. Measure out the shampoo and pour it into your mixing bottle. Stick the funnel into the mouth of the mixing bottle before pouring in the shampoo to prevent spills.  Start with ½ cup (120 ml or 4 oz) of shampoo if you haven't done this before, just in case you don’t like the smell or effect of the oils you use. If you want to use a full bottle of shampoo, look at how many ounces or milliliters are...
