Skimming can be used to gain a shallow understanding of a text. It can be used to scan a newspaper for interesting material, or to get the important concepts out of a textbook in preparation for a test. It's not a good replacement for thorough reading. Begin by only reading the chapter titles and any subheadings at the start of large sections. Read the headlines of each newspaper article, or the table of contents in a magazine. Textbooks usually contain introductions and summaries of each chapter. For other texts, just read the first and last paragraph of a chapter or article. You can read quickly if you're familiar with the subject, but don't try to speed read as fast as possible. You're saving time by skipping most of the section, but you do need to understand what you're reading. If you still wish to learn more, brush your eyes rapidly across the page rather than reading normally. Now that you know the gist of the section, you can pick out key words that mark important areas. Stop and circle the following words:  Words that are repeated several times The main ideas – often including words from the title or section header Proper nouns Italics, bold text, or underline Words you don't recognize These often present a lot of information without much reading required. Take a minute or two to make sure you fully understand each diagram. If you've lost track of the subject, read the start of each paragraph. The first one or two sentences will teach you the main points. Go back and look over the words you've circled. Can you "read" these and get a general sense of what the text is about? If you get confused at a certain word, try reading a few sentences around that word to remind yourself of the topic. Circle additional words as you do this.

Skin can range from dry to oily and anywhere in between. When picking out a cleanser, choose one that matches your skin type so you can give your skin the right kind of TLC. It will say on the bottle whether it's for oily skin, dry skin, combination skin, or all skin types.  For example, if you have dry, sensitive skin, choose a moisturizing cleanser that’s free of dyes and perfumes. Avoid cleansers that contain harsh or drying ingredients, like alcohol or astringents. If your skin is oily, look for a gentle soap-based cleanser that’s designed to remove dirt and oils from your skin. If you’re prone to breakouts, choose a cleanser that contains acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. twice per day. During a regular day, all kinds of gross stuff can build up on your skin, clogging your pores and leading to irritation. To keep your skin happy and healthy, wash your face in the morning and at night. It's especially important to wash it at night, as you're removing bacteria, dirt, makeup or skincare products, and other contaminants that may have built up on your skin throughout the day.  It’s also important to wash your face any time you sweat, since sweating can irritate your skin and clog your pores. Unless you’ve been sweating or your face is especially dirty, try to stick to washing your face no more than twice a day. Excessive washing can irritate your skin. To avoid drying out and irritating your skin, wash with cool or lukewarm water and use your fingers to apply your cleanser. Always pat your face dry instead of rubbing it. Washing can dry out your face. Always apply a gentle moisturizer after you’ve cleaned your skin, while it’s still slightly damp. This will help you maintain a fresh and dewy glow, minimize fine lines, and prevent inflammation and breakouts. It's also a good idea to apply moisturizer before you put on makeup.

Skin cancer can be divided into non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancers. Melanoma skin cancer is the dangerous kind. Your skin grows normally to naturally replace cells that die off. With cancerous cells, however, there is an uncontrolled growth of cells to form a solid tumor. These can be benign, which are not cancerous, or malignant, which are cancerous and can spread the cancer.  Different types of melanoma skin cancer include:  Atypical moles, also known as dysplastic nevi, which are larger than normal moles (greater than ⅓ inch or greater than 8 mm), have irregular or non-smooth edges, and are often darker than normal brown moles. Actinic (solar) keratosis, which is a rough and scaly patch of skin that has often been exposed to the sun, most commonly found on the face, ears, lips, scalp, neck, back of your hands, and forearms, and that get bigger over time. Non-melanoma skin cancers are the most common forms of skin cancer. Almost all of these forms of skin cancer can be cured, with better chances of a cure arising if you spot them early. The different forms of non-melanoma skin cancer are:  Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), which is commonly found on the head, face, arms, neck, and hands, looks like waxy, raised, small, pearly bumps, grows slowly and rarely spreads.  Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), which is found on the neck, face, arms, head, and hands, is scaly and rough, reddish in color, and rarely spreads to other parts of the body. Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC), which is a less common and very fast growing skin cancer, shows up as firm, shiny lumps on the skin with a reddish, pinkish, or bluish color, and do not hurt but may be tender to the touch. Cutaneous T cell Lymphoma, which starts in the blood, appears as scaly or bumpy patches on the skin, and is very slow growing. Kaposi’s Sarcoma, which is usually associated with HIV/AIDs, is purplish in color, and appears as a flat patch of skin or inside the mouth, nose, or throat. There are certain situations that make you more at risk for skin cancer. These...

Skin infections are the most common type of staph infection. They look like pimples, boils, blisters, or areas of swollen, red skin that feels hot. Sometimes, they ooze pus or other discharge. Broken skin is prone to infection. Washing your hands frequently and keeping wounds clean are the best ways to prevent a skin staph infection. Abscesses are swollen pockets of skin that are filled with pus. They feel like they’re filled with liquid, rather than a lump of swollen skin, and it usually hurts to touch them. Abscesses that grow increasingly painful and pus seeping from a wound could indicate a bad infection, so call your doctor if you notice these signs. before and after touching the area. Wash up thoroughly with soap and hot water before you clean the area or change a bandage. You wouldn't want to risk contaminating it further. After treating the infected skin, wash your hands again to prevent spreading germs. Minor abscesses and skin infections often go away on their own with proper home care. Wash the infected area thoroughly, soak it in warm water for 10 minutes 3 times a day, and cover it with a sterile bandage. Change the bandage 2 to 3 times daily or whenever it gets wet. If you’d like, you can add salt to your warm water soaks. Try soaking the infected area in a solution of 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of salt and 1 US quart (0.95 L) of warm water. Adding salt to your warm water soaks can help soothe your skin. While salt doesn't kill staph bacteria, it could help deter other contaminants. Avoid touching an infection unless you’re treating it. Remember to wash your hands before and after providing treatment. If you have an abscess, leave it alone and don't try to drain or pop it. Scratching an infection or popping an abscess could further contaminate the area and spread germs. Minor swelling or redness often go away on their own in a day or two, provided you keep the wound clean. However, if pain, swelling, or abscesses get worse, or if you have a fever, you should see your doctor as soon as possible. ...

Skin is made up of cells, and all cells need water. If your skin doesn’t get enough, it will be dry, tight, and flaky. Indeed, one of the main reasons skin ages is that it loses its ability to retain moisture. Drinking at least eight 8-oz glasses of water a day typically ensures that your skin is getting enough water, but because tanning can dehydrate you, you’ll want to drink even more water on days when you tan. Cocoa both hydrates your skin and contains flavonols, a powerful type of antioxidant. Antioxidants limit the damage from free radicals that form when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light. Grapes, apples, pears, cherries, and berries all contain high levels of polyphenols, which have both antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties that help them protect your skin from the UV radiation of tanning beds. Pomegranates contain flavonoids that have been shown to have a wide variety of health effects, including acting as an antioxidant that protects skin and helping to prevent cancer. Tomatoes contain lycopene, a chemical that has been shown to help protect skin from ultraviolet radiation damage. Tomato paste contains the most, meaning tomato sauces or even pizza can be a rich source. They are packed with vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from damage caused by UV light. It contains polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties, thus helping to protect your skin from the damage caused by UV light.

Skincare is a key factor in looking good without makeup. Spend what time and money you would spend applying and purchasing makeup on skin care. First and foremost, find a good facial wash that's suited to your skin type and use it twice a day—once in the morning and once at night.  Although it may be tempting to wash your face more than twice a day, this is not advisable. Over-washing can make your skin dry and irritable, causing it to look worse rather than better.  Develop a skin regimen for your face. Whatever regimen you choose, stick to it, and always follow through. Repeat the regimen in the morning and at night. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, leaving your face looking fresh and radiant. It can really help to give a healthy glow to your skin, which is a bonus when you're aiming to go makeup free. Find a skin wash with special exfoliating particles which you can use at least once a week, but as often as every 2 to 3 days, for best results.  Alternatively, you can exfoliate using a clean washcloth soaked in warm water. Rub your face gently with the washcloth, in slow circular motions. This option is good for people with skin that is sensitive to the ingredients in any facial washes. Never scrub your face too hard with the exfoliator or use it too often. This will dry out your skin and leave it feeling irritated, which is the last thing you want.

Skipping breakfast can leave you feeling tired for the rest of the day. This is why breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day. A good breakfast should consist of healthy protein such as yogurt or eggs, fresh fruit or vegetables, and some low-sugar, high fiber carbohydrates such as whole grain cereal or oatmeal. Add a few almonds or walnuts for an additional energy boost and to regulate blood sugar by providing your body with healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Try making a breakfast smoothie by combining fruit, yogurt, wheat germ, and other ingredients in a blender with a bit of ice for a quick, high-energy breakfast. Rather than having 3 large meals, you can boost your alertness and body’s energy by having small meals throughout the day. Your brain needs a steady supply of nutrients to stay energized throughout the day. Large meals can also increase the production of tryptophan in your body, an essential amino acid that induces sleep. Studies show that eating smaller meals, especially during the afternoon, helps regulate blood sugar, which prevents you from feeling fatigued after eating. Try to eat 4 or 5 small meals a day, consisting mostly of fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts to help boost your metabolism and prevent daytime drowsiness. Protein helps boost energy levels because it is required for many of the body’s metabolic processes. Eating a high-protein breakfast or lunch may help you to stay energized throughout the day. Avoid processed meats, red meat, and margarine because these can raise your cholesterol levels, slow down metabolism, and cause drowsiness. Eat more healthy foods that are rich in protein, such as eggs, quail, chicken, turkey, salmon, tuna, trout, sardines, tofu, beans, pulses, natural cheese, and Greek yogurt. Eating a lot of carbohydrates make tryptophan more available to the brain, which can leave you feeling drowsy. However, this does not mean you should cut carbs out of your diet entirely. Try not to eat a large amount of carbs in the morning or middle of the day, and...

Skipping meals can cause your metabolism to slow down and it can also cause you to overeat because you will be very hungry by the time you do allow yourself to eat. Eating small snacks between meals is helpful for some people. If this helps prevent you from overeating at meals, go for it! For the best results, try a protein-packed snack that is 200 calories or less. Many people will eat as much food as there happens to be on their plate, without stopping to think if they are still hungry. Start being more mindful by stopping yourself after you've finished half of your food and asking yourself if you are satisfied or still hungry. Don't deprive yourself of more food if you are still hungry, but stop eating if you realize you are not.  It might also help to eat a little slower, so your body has a chance to begin digesting and can let you know when it has had enough. Practice what is known as "hara hachi bu," which means eating until you feel about 80% full. It might be hard to recognize at first, but the next time you reach for a snack between meals, ask yourself if you are feeling angry, lonely, or tired. If you are, think about other things you can do to feel better. Going for a walk or calling your best friend might give you the pick-me-up you need. While it's important to make good decisions, try to take a more relaxed approach to it. You will have much more success in losing weight if healthy eating habits become a regular habit that you don't have to think about.   Try thinking more about the healthy foods that you will add into your diet than the bad foods you will eliminate. Also, try to find healthy foods that you genuinely enjoy eating. If you do both of these things, you may not even crave unhealthy foods anymore. Instead of depriving yourself of the foods you love, allow yourself a little indulgence once in awhile. In fact, deprivation can lead to overeating, so it may be healthier to give in to your cravings every so often. This means you can still eat chocolate or bacon, as long as it's in...

Slapping it on in the morning and rushing out the door won't give your makeup time to set. After each layer you apply, wait 5 minutes before applying the next one. This will go a long way toward helping your makeup stay in place all day long. Every time you touch your face, you're removing a little bit of makeup and increasing the chances it'll get smudged. Avoiding touching your face with your fingers as much as possible. When it's hot outside, wearing a ton of makeup is never a good idea. As you perspire, your makeup will naturally come off a lot more easily. The best thing to do is wear waterproof eye makeup and go easy on the foundation, rather than fighting to keep it in place all day long. Having your hair brush against your face all day long is a sure way to take off your makeup a little faster. When it's essential for your makeup to stay set all day, go for an updo style that day.

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder which can usually be cured but can cause serious health problems if left untreated. In a person suffering from sleep apnea, the throat doesn't maintain its proper shape during sleep, leading to periods of sleep where breathing becomes difficult or even stops entirely. This keeps the body from getting as much oxygen as it needs, leading to interrupted sleep, stress, and extreme drowsiness during the day. If you think you have sleep apnea, talk to your doctor right away to start a treatment plan.  Some of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea are very loud snoring, difficulty breathing during sleep, morning headaches, insomnia, dry throat, and drowsiness during the day.  One of the most common causes of sleep apnea is being overweight or obese, though even thin people can suffer from the disorder. If you are overweight and suffer from sleep apnea, your doctor will probably recommend beginning a weight-loss regimen. Diabetes, a disease which in recent years has become a serious health problem for millions of people in the developed world, can cause fatigue (especially after meals). In fact, some people first discover they are diabetic when they go to the doctor for unexplained fatigue.

Sleep deprivation has many negative health effects, and could be the deciding factor in whether or not you pass your test. Sleep deprivation can hurt your ability to concentrate, reason, solve problems, and can even make you more forgetful than usual. Having a routine can make the day of your test feel like any other, which can help reduce test anxiety and stress. Be consistent with your routine and eventually your routine will become a comforting series of events.  Your routine shouldn't be shorter than 10 minutes, but shouldn't be too much longer than 30 minutes. You can make a mental checklist of things you need part of your routine, which will help you remember important items on the day of your test. Hunger can make you distracted, which can hurt your performance on the test. Protein rich foods, like eggs, nuts, yogurt, and cheese, can improve your mental sharpness. Where carbs are concerned, stick to complex carbs, like whole grain products, brown rice, and whole rye to name a few. These will keep your glucose levels stable throughout the day and help you do your best on the test. Eating too much can leave you feeling drowsy or lethargic, both physically and mentally. This can lead to lower test scores than you would expect. To prevent yourself from overeating, you might want to plan out several healthy snack leading up to your test, like some fruit, whole grain toast, and eggs for breakfast, followed by a granola bar snack an hour before your noontime test.

Sleep is a key component. You need at the minimum seven to eight or nine hours of sleep. Put yourself to sleep early every night. Take naps or siesta time now and then. You deserve it. This not only helps you to stay in shape, but clears your mind for thinking straight, gives you decent breaks from work and study and builds your stamina. Keep your body in shape. Work out, but do not go overboard. Start jogging or lifting weights slowly and get into your own cardio routine. Since what makes your stomach feel good or bad can be quite personal, learn by listening to your body. Cook food in batches, then assign portions for freezing.

Sleep is crucial for your mental and physical health, and not getting enough can make your depression worse. When you’re in college, it can be hard to get the sleep you need. Most young adults need 7-9 hours of sleep a night to be at their healthiest.  Schedule time for sleep the same way you would for studying and other obligations. Try to create a consistent schedule for when you go to bed and when you wake up. Make sure that you have some downtime before you go to bed every night. Spend a little time doing something peaceful, like reading a book, taking a warm shower, or doing a little meditation. Avoid using your phone or computer right before going to bed, since the light from the screen can make it more difficult for you to fall asleep. Eating and drinking the right things can boost your mood, help you concentrate, and help you sleep better. It is also important to avoid foods and drinks that can aggravate symptoms of depression.  Eat foods that are rich in vitamin B12 and folates, like lentils, almonds, spinach, chicken, and fish. Make sure you are getting enough vitamin D, which is often added to milk, juices, and breakfast cereals. Eat plenty of fish, or look for foods fortified with omega-3 fatty acids. Avoid foods that are high in refined sugars, like sugary desserts and sodas. Avoid drinking too much caffeine. While it can temporarily boost your energy, it can also disrupt your sleep cycle and make you feel nervous or irritable.

Sleep plays an important role in preventing migraines and lessening their severity, according to a number of studies. Sleep regularly and get the right number of hours of sleep for your body. For most people, that means around eight hours of sleep a night.  If you're having trouble falling asleep, try to be sure to wind down hours before bedtime. Put away computer screens, start dimming lights, and don't do anything that's very stimulating, like watching exciting TV. . Exercise can lessen the pain of a migraine and also lessen the frequency of migraines in general. A recent study has shown that 40 minutes of cardio exercise, three times a week is just as effective as medicine and relaxation techniques in helping prevent the onset of migraines. However, migraines can be triggered by exercise if you're not used to it. Start with light exercise and exercise regularly. Once your body is accustomed to it, you can use a light walk or jog to relieve your pain and even prevent pain in the future. . If you regularly consume caffeine, your habit could be causing your problem. Caffeine paradoxically both causes and relieves headaches. The caffeine paradox is caused by the addiction and withdrawal, since caffeine causes migraine by provoking nervous adaptation to caffeine. This renders the patient susceptible to headache if caffeine dosing is delayed, and caffeine then relieves migraine by reversing caffeine withdrawal. If you use caffeine, caffeine withdrawal cannot be ruled out as a possible cause of your migraines. The logical strategy is to assume caffeine is the likely culprit, and to wean yourself from caffeine. Study which foods may be triggering your migraines. In some cases, migraines have be reduced 30 – 50% by removing all triggers from the diet.  You should try to identify a migraine-trigger food before you eat it. Find out triggers, which include chocolate, cheese, alcohol, and citrus fruits,  if you know the trigger,  avoid that food, drink or element. If you aren't sure if food is triggering you, keep a...

Sleeping in a hot room is a recipe for twisted sheets and feverish dreams, whereas a cool, dark environment will help you to fall asleep faster and sleep better. The optimal temperature for sleeping is between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius (65 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit), so turn down the thermostat and snuggle under the covers.  Of course, it won't be easy to fall asleep if your room is frigid, so find a temperature that works for you, just try to err on the cool side. Remember that it's better to pile on the blankets in a cold room than to kick off the covers in a hot room. If you suffer from hot flashes or night sweats, there are other things you can do to keep yourself cool. Consider investing in a cooling mattress pad and some moisture-wicking sheets to keep body temperature down and draw sweat from the skin. Darkness helps your brain to process the fact that it's time for sleep, causing it to release hormones that induce sleepiness. If you have too much light in your bedroom, or stare at a screen for too long before turning in, this can delay the release of these hormones and prevent you from falling asleep. To combat this, keep your bedroom as dark as you possibly can and turn off all electronics at least an hour before bed.  Avoid having a light up clock in your bedroom. Knowing that it's 3 A.M. and you're still wide awake is not going to help the situation. It will simply increase your anxiety and make falling asleep even less likely.  Avoid installing a television or games console in your bedroom and try not to bring your laptop to bed. You want your brain to identify your bedroom as a place of peace and sleep, not one of work and play. Turn off your cell phone or at least put it on 'do not disturb' mode. If it's sitting on your bedside table, the temptation to check your emails, your Facebook page, or even the time will keep you awake. Make sure you have at least 15-30 minutes of no technology use.

Sleeping on one side of your body is known to be one of the most comfortable positions and one of the most common. To make this position more comfortable, try putting a pillow between your bent legs. Slide the pillow between your knees and keep the pillow in place as you lay down on your side. This can help to protect your lower back and take the strain off your neck as you sleep. If you are pregnant, sleeping on your side is the ideal position. Sleeping on your left side will help increase the blood and nutrients that reach your baby. Putting a pillow between your legs can make sleeping on your side more comfortable when you are pregnant. A pillow under your abdomen may also help to support your back. Though you may be tempted to stack several pillows under your neck, sleeping with a single pillow under your neck can ensure your neck is not strained when you sleep. Try sleeping with one semi-firm pillow under your head when you sleep on your side. Having a pillow that is too soft or fluffy can make your neck feel unsupported and sore in the morning.  If you are used to sleeping with two pillows under your head, go for two thin pillows. This will ensure your neck is not too raised when you sleep. You can also try using a wedge shaped pillow to elevate your upper body. This is especially helpful if you suffer from heartburn. Doing this can end up making your lower back curl forward and lead to spinal issues in the future. Try sleeping with a pillow between your knees instead for better back and spinal support. If you are pregnant, hugging a pillow to your chest when you sleep can help you feel more comfortable sleeping on your side. You may invest in a full body pillow that you can fit between your legs and hug to your chest for extra comfort.

Sleepless nights can make eye bags heavier and worsen wrinkles around your eyes. If you have trouble sleeping, drink less caffeine before bedtime, avoid stating at phone or laptop screens, or try other treatments for insomnia. Plan to avoid caffeinated beverages and electronic screens at least 30 minutes before bedtime. When your skin is dry, it looks more aged and any wrinkles can look accentuated. Drink water through the day to keep your skin soft and plump. How much water you drink per day depends on a variety of factors. As a general rule, however, aim for 8 8-oz glasses (0.23 L) of water per day. Both of these can keep your skin supple and reduce bags under your eyes. Introduce foods rich in these vitamins to reduce wrinkles around your eyes or ask your doctor about taking an omega-3 or vitamin E supplement. Do not add new supplements to your diet without asking your doctor—when in doubt, eating vitamin-rich foods is safer.  Foods high in vitamin E include almonds, swiss chard, mustard greens, spinach, eggs, kale, hazelnuts, avocado, broccoli, papaya, and olives.  Foods high in omega-3 include flaxseeds, walnuts, salmon, beef, soybeans, tofu, shrimp, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and sardines.  How much vitamin E and omega-3 you need a day varies, but the average adult should aim for 15mg of vitamin E and 1.1 g of omega-3. Cigarettes lessen the oxygen levels reaching your skin cells, and alcohol can cause skin inflammation. Both can age your skin and deepen the lines in your face. Reducing your alcohol and cigarette intake can soften your skin and may reduce eye wrinkles.

Slice fresh strawberries thinly and place them on top of the frosting in a pattern or randomly. Brush with seedless jam.  You can substitute the strawberries for fresh mango, banana, or any softer fruit you desire. If you're using fresh fruit, add it at the last minute. If the fruit is wet, it could cause the frosting to move or melt slightly. Sprinkles are a fun way to make a colorful confetti cake. You can also add a pinch of sprinkles to your cake batter before baking. Sprinkle a handful of mini marshmallows on top of the cake for a super sweet addition. Dust the marshmallows with a pinch of powdered sugar. If you want a chocolate cake with some crunch, break your favorite candy bar into small pieces and drop some on top of the cake. You could sprinkle chocolate chips instead. Coconut can be baked in a cake or used to decorate it too. It's a healthier version than sugar sprinkles or sweets and looks great on a cake. Cover the cake in a light frosting and then press coconut into it. Coconut is so light it can be added to many cakes, from lighter flavors like vanilla and lemon to richer cakes like chocolate and carrot cake. You can cover the whole cake, top to bottom or you can sprinkle some on top of the cake. If you're making a chocolate cake, sweet pecans be a good match.

Slice the plums in half around the pit, working with a small, sharp knife. Pull the halves apart, remove the pit, and discard the pit. Make sure you work with a knife small enough to handle. A large knife is not appropriate for cutting plums. Do not use a baking pan to make prunes in the oven. A lot of juices will leak from the plums during the drying process. If plums are on a baking pan, they will stick to this surface. Instead, use an oven rack. Make sure to space the plums evenly on the oven rack. If the plums are touching, this may affect the dehydration process. As the process can make a mess on the bottom of your oven, consider setting something down to catch the drippings. Some people find success laying a single sheet of foil on the bottom of the oven. However, the foil may melt and it does not work for gas ovens. You could try lining a baking tray with foil and setting that under the plums. You should set the oven as low as possible. For most ovens, that is 200 degrees Fahrenheit. If your oven is different, simply set the oven to the lowest possible temperature. Make sure to place the oven rack in the oven slowly. You do not want to knock the plums around. You should flip the plums every few hours so they dry out evenly. You should also check on how the dehydration process is coming along. You want your prunes to be slightly soft and juicy, while also being dry to the point of having a wrinkled, dark appearance. This also depends on personal preference. Some people prefer prunes slightly dryer while some prefer them juicier. Do not remove the prunes until they're at your desired state. While most prunes will be ready at this point, vigilant checking is important. Some prunes will be ready sooner than 8 hours, and some will need a little more time. The prunes will probably be ready at slightly different rates. Remove them as needed.

Slices or pieces of fruits and vegetables like potatoes and apples work well for this purpose. Potatoes are an especially good option as they take a bit longer to mold and dry out.  Don’t put any water in the container. Mealworms will crawl into a water dish and end up drowning. Use the fruit and vegetables as a source of moisture and water. Switch out dried or molded pieces of fruit and vegetables for fresh ones as needed. You will need to add more food to the container as the worms consume it, but you don’t need to actually change all of the bedding until a few weeks have passed. Keep an eye on it to make sure no mold is growing, and that there is no foul odor. You can use a sifter to gently separate the worms from the bedding when you need to change it, or even when you need to remove the worms for any other reason. If you notice the moist food you provided is making the bedding too wet or damp, change it out for something else. If your container has a lid and you notice the lid is collecting condensation, your container has a bit too much moisture. Try to let a little more air in.

Slide the nose of the ring-opening jewelry pliers into the closed ring. Position the tool so that its opening lines up with the bead or ball of the captive ring. Apply a slight amount of pressure until the captive ring is no longer moveable.  Specialty pliers labeled for use with captive rings are your best option, followed by generic ring expanding pliers. If you have no other option, needle nose pliers will also work well enough. Consider covering the pliers with cloth medical tape before using them with your captive ring. Doing so can prevent the tool from scratching jewelry. The tape also adds traction, making it easier to hold the pieces in place. Use the index finger and thumb of your free hand to grab the captive ring bead. Or, you can use a ball grabber tool to reach out to the captive bead. Placing a slight amount of pressure on the ring pliers will cause the ball to become loose. Make sure to grab it with your free hand before it falls. Be very careful with the amount of pressure that you apply with the pliers or you will risk altering the shape of your ring. Continuing to use your pliers, or switching to your hands if you prefer, slide one open end of the ring into the piercing. Continue gliding the ring through the piercing until the center of the ring rests inside.  If the gap is not wide enough for you to maneuver the ring into the piercing, you should use your pliers to expand the opening further. Expand the ring only as much as absolutely needed to avoid warping the shape. For heavier gauges, you should only expand the opening instead of twisting it. The opening of the ring should be positioned directly across from the piercing. If you feel friction or discomfort when you insert the ring, support the skin around the piercing using your fingers. Using your hands or a ball grabber tool, line the bead up so that the dimples on either side are aligned with the open ends of the ring. Rest one side of the ring in one of these dimples. With heavier gauges, it is very difficult to snap the bead in...

It’s a center for tension that feels good when massaged. However, only work on it for a minute as massaging it any longer could lead to a headache. This is the indentation below their collarbone, as this is an erogenous zone. Press the clavicle gently with your thumb and forefinger. Move to the center of their breastbone, right over their heart. Feel for the dimple in the bone. This acupressure point is called the Sea of Tranquility, which is an intense relaxation trigger. Press it with your fingers and feel tension ease from your partner’s chest. Pour some oil on their chest and use a connecting stroke, or a long, fluid flat handed rub, to move from over their nipples. Pinch the nub lightly and roll the flesh between your thumb and index finger. Do not rub or twist their nipples too hard as this is a sensitive area. Have them lay down on their back and place a pillow under their head. Check in to make sure they are feeling good and are ready for the last part of the massage session: a massage of the neck and head. As you come back to their shoulders, gently use the backs of your hands to continue stroking your partner’s neck and under their chin. Make small pressure circles, using the pads of your thumbs, either side of the spine to the base of the skull.  Never touch the spine itself: it's uncomfortable and can cause injury. Do not wrap your hands around the front of your partner’s neck, as this could be uncomfortable. Avoid putting any pressure on the indentation behind their eyes, just above their jawline. This area, if pressed on, can cause facial paralysis so steer clear of it. Where their neck meets their skull, you will find little hollows in the bone. There hollows are acupressure points and little known erogenous zones. Put your fingers on the hollows and gradually increase pressure, but do not press too hard. Take the...

Sliding to the right extends the distance of your Tinder search. Sliding to the left reduces the radius.  For example, a person’s personal settings might be set at 35 miles. It's more than enough for most people. That means you will be matched only with people currently within that circle around you. With the preferences panel open, you have access to general controls. Second from the bottom is a slider labeled "Search Distance." Adjust the slider bar to suit your preferences, and hit "done" at the top right corner of the screen. Slide the icon under "Maximum Distance" to the desired search range between 1 to 100 miles. Tinder was among the first “swiping apps,” where the user uses a swiping motion to choose between the photos of other users.  Tinder uses swipe right for potentially good matches and swipe left on a photo to move to the next one.  Here’s why you might want to frequently change your search distance. Let’s say, for example, that you are at the gym and want to find people who are active (or if you are at a show.) Set the radius as small as possible and then expand to 3 miles. The reason you need to set a search range is to screen out potential matches who live too far away from you. Most people use Tinder to meet people who live near them or who are simply in the area they are at. You’re less likely to get people interested in you with too far of a radius because most people don’t go on Tinder looking for long-distance relationships.

Slip the thin end of a long-handled fine-tooth comb underneath cornrows or tight braids to get some relief. You could also use the blunt end of a skewer or the eraser end of a pencil. Gently wiggle the eraser, skewer, or handle to loosen the braid at the scalp. Be careful and take your time so as not to ruin your braids. Keep in mind that the braids will loosen up on their own over time. Adding a leave-in conditioner to your dry braids can reduce their tension and tightness. Lightly mist your scalp with leave-in conditioner and use your fingers to gently work the conditioner into your scalp and braids. Alternatively, you could spray cold water onto your scalp for instant relief. If you get your hair braided often, invest in a specially formulated braid spray to soften your hair and soothe your scalp. You can pick up these sprays at salons and stores that sell specialty beauty products. Spritz the braid spray on your scalp to prevent itching and lubricate your braids, which will soften and loosen them.  Look for soothing sprays made with aloe vera, tea tree oil, sulfur, or lavender oil. Use this spray when you're getting ready in the morning and throughout the day as needed to reduce tension caused by tight braids. While you have braids in, it's important to do daily scalp massages with oil. Use 1 tbsp (14.8 mL) of a pure, natural oil like avocado, castor, coconut, jojoba, or almond oil. Apply the oil to your scalp, then massage it in with your fingers using gentle, circular motions. Do this for 1 to 2 minutes each day. Try adding a few drops of essential oil to the oil you choose to scent and refresh your scalp. Peppermint essential oil can help with scalp itchiness, so consider using that for your daily scalp massages.

Slipping into something more comfortable is common when the wearer gets home or is in a place that they are confident that the friend won’t mention to others as the wearer is a frequent guest of. With you finding out that they wear diapers, this might also lead to the request of wearing thicker more comfortable diapers while you are the only one around,  because it gives better protection from leaks while resting or sitting down in one solitary spot or limiting movement.  Another issue is heat and skin contact with plastic. While plastic pants might be preferable in public they are hot and tight elastic bands can irritate the skin. Spending extended time with your friend at home (s)he most likely would prefer not to wear plastic pants leading to an increased risk of smell, noise and leaks, where the increased risk of leaking is mitigated by wearing a thicker diaper. During the summer, heat is a challenge as diapers act as extra insulation on the body. Where you can wear a thin pair of shorts or a skirt, your friend still needs their diaper. During parts of the summer where you want to wear as little clothing as possible to cool down, your friend might request to wear nothing but a diaper. If your friend requests for that let him/her do it - and see it as a good sign that (s)he is not embarrassed about wearing diapers (A lot of kids are only in diapers on hot summer days!). As long as both of you don’t mind that an occasional accident might happen, your friend can avoid wearing the diaper altogether. Make sure your friend only sits on chairs with plastic covered seats, and be prepared to remove any stains that occur from their nonuse of the diaper. Utilize How to Remove Urine Odors and Stains Permanently to find out these steps. While disposable diapers are most convenient (thinner, easier to change, no dirty laundry to bring home) they are a possibility in the privacy of the home. Cloth diapers absorb the urine in another way allowing the skin to breathe differently, but may also make the wearer feel more wet...

Slipping is often caused by damp feet sliding down into the toes of your heels. If you regularly treat your feet to lotions or foot masks, they could be adding to your body’s natural moisture and creating a slick, oily surface inside your shoe. Try skipping the treatments on the days you plan to wear heels. If your feet sweat often, try adding a thin layer of talcum powder to your soles or the inside of the shoe to dry them out. Be careful to brush off any extra powder on the tops of your feet! Before putting your heels on, give your feet a quick spritz of hairspray. Spray about a foot away and focus on the bottoms and sides of your feet. This will help hold your heel in place. Some people may find this method a little sticky and uncomfortable. Try this at home before going out. Wearing footwear can prevent sweat and moisture from building up in your shoe. Buy no-show foot liners to wick away sweat. They can also take up space inside your shoe and keep your foot inside. For winter, you can buy tights with built-in soles.

Slow cooking allows for lots of versatility in your choice of meat. Pork and beef tenderloin or prime rib are delicious options for slow cooking in an oven. You will adjust the temperature when the roast is put in the oven. Ensuring that your oven is heated before your put in the roast will help ensure even cooking from start to finish. Place a large pan over medium high heat on the stove top. Place the meat in the hot pan and sear the meat on all sides. Allow the meat to cook for about thirty seconds on all sides to quickly brown the outer layer of the meat. The rack raises the meat off the bottom of the pan to allow for better air circulation and even cooking. It also keeps the meat from stewing in the juices and becoming soggy on the bottom. If a pan with a rack is not available, place the meat on sturdy foods such as potatoes or carrots to keep it from getting too wet. Check your meat with a thermometer after 2.5 hours for a 2.5 pound roast. Follow these guidelines for doneness when checking temperature:  130ºF (54°C) Rare 135ºF (57°C) Medium Rare 150ºF (65°C) Medium 160ºF (71°C) Well Done NOTE: Your meat will continue to cook slightly after removing from the oven. The final temperature may change after you take it out of the oven. Resting meat ensures that you get a moist cut when you slice the roast. Avoid cutting the meat early to prevent all the juices and flavor from seeping out. After several hours of cooking it is now time to enjoy your roast. Cut perpendicular to the grain of the muscle to get the most tender bites.

Slowing down, as mentioned in the part above, is good for speech because it allows you to think about what you are going to say as well as making you appear relaxed. You also appear to be in command of yourself when you speak slowly. Saying the other person's name frequently makes you seem more likeable, since we all like to hear our own names. Ending sentences that aren't questions as thought they are—especially when introducing yourself—places the idea of a question in the other person's mind, making them doubt your confidence. When answering questions, avoid the question inflection as well, opting for a firm, even tone. If you have an issue that you feel passionate about, try to bring the conversation around to that topic. When you stand up for or speak passionately about something you believe in, this inspires confidence in others. If you choose not to bring a conversation around to your soapbox, at least listen for someone bashing an issue you care about and confront them politely. This will make you feel connected, and each smooth conversation you have will make you feel more comfortable. The more you know about people, the more you will feel confident. The more people get to know you, the more they might take you in as part of their group. Feeling included is a big boost to your confidence.

Slowly inhale to fill your lungs with air. Hold your breath for 10 seconds, then exhale slowly to release the breath. Repeat 3-4 times, holding your breath for 10 seconds each time. Hold the paper bag in front of your mouth, with the sides against your cheeks. Then, slowly inhale and exhale into the bag so that it inflates and deflates. Try to relax your body as you breathe into the bag, which may help relieve your hiccups. Don’t put the paper bag over your head. Stand or sit in a straight-back chair. Breathe in deeply, then slowly lean forward as you exhale. Stay in this position for up to 2 minutes. This helps press down on your diaphragm and the muscles surrounding it, which might get your hiccups to stop. If you don’t get relief after your first try, do it again 2-3 times. Slowly inhale, counting to 5 as your lungs fill with air. Then, hold your breath for a 5 count before exhaling to a count of 5. Repeat this up to 5 times to help relieve your hiccups. If you still have the hiccups after 5 breaths, rest for about 20 minutes and then try again. Slowly inhale to fill your lungs with air. As you exhale, stick your tongue out. Then, use your fingers to gently pull your tongue forward, without causing yourself any discomfort. This should trigger a pressure point to help you stop hiccuping.  You can repeat this technique up to 3 times if it doesn’t work the first time. After that, take a break before trying again. Stop pulling on your tongue if it hurts. This shouldn’t hurt at all. Inhale slowly as you take a deep breath. Then, hold your breath as you plug your nose and close your mouth. Next, gently try to breathe out, which will trigger your diaphragm and muscles to think you’re breathing. Finally, exhale slowly.

Slugs are very sensitive to chemicals and absorb sprays through their skin. Do not use hairspray or aerosol sprays in the same room where you keep your slugs. This can cause them to die. Slugs should not be handled too often. Only handle them when you need to remove them from the tank for cleaning. If you must handle them, pick them up with wet hands. Slugs dislike being handled and chemicals on your hands from things like lotions and soaps can be harmful to slugs. Slugs need a moist environment to thrive. Each day, spritz the inside of your slug's cage with a water bottle filled with distilled after. Slugs may die if an environment is not adequately moist. It's very important to use distilled water. The chemicals found in tap water can kill slugs.

Small bathrooms tend to have limited floor space, but what about the unused area above the toilet or next to the window? If your bathroom has a spot on the wall that isn't getting much use, consider installing some sturdy shelves where you can store towels, extra shampoo and soap, or small decorations.  Be sure to place the shelving above your head level - you don't want to be bumping your forehead each time you step out of the shower. If you have a free corner, choose corner shelves to maximize space even more.     If your bathroom seems too small for shelves, install some hooks instead. Choose a style that matches the décor of your bathroom and hang three or four in a row on the wall. Use them to hang your towels, loofah, body brush, or other bathroom equipment. The shower itself can be a storage area and a place to decorate. Hang a cute wire shower caddy over the shower head and store your shampoo and conditioner there. You could also look into installing waterproof shelving inside the shower to hold these items. If you have a cabinet under your sink, there's no need to have an extra dresser in another corner of the bathroom. Clear away decorative tables, laundry hampers (they can go in your bedroom instead) and any other piece of furniture that sits on the floor of your bathroom. You'll be amazed at what a difference clearing away even a small piece of furniture can make.  If you absolutely must keep a dresser or small piece of furniture in your bathroom, try to maximize space by creating a second level of usage. For example, a small dresser can double as a vanity if you hang a mirror on the wall above it.     If you have a large clothes hamper that you prefer to keep in the bathroom, consider getting a cloth laundry bag instead. These take up much less space than large basket hampers.

Whole flax seed can be kept fresh for 6-12 months at room temperature, and one year in the refrigerator. The Omega-3 fatty acids present in flax seed are located inside the seeds and therefore the seeds need to be opened to access the nutritional value. You can grind the flax seed using a coffee or spice grinder to ensure that you are reaping the benefits of flax seed. Ground flax can be kept for one week in a room temperature setting or for up to two months in the refrigerator. If you want to get the benefits of flax seed without the taste or hassle of adding it to your food, simply purchase flax seed supplements and take one pill daily. You can also buy flax seed in its liquid oil form and add it to your beverage of choice. Flax seed oil has the same nutty taste as the seeds themselves but without the seedy texture. If you are simply adding the flax seed to an individual meal, this ratio will give you a beneficial serving without affecting the flavor of your food.

Small scratches in laminate furniture can be easily minimized by using specially designed touch-up markers. These markers are often packaged along with laminate furniture, but you can also find them at hardware stores and office supply stores that sell laminate office furniture. They are often sold in sets, but you should try to match the marker's color to your wood tone if you can purchase the markers individually. Use the touch-up marker in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Usually this will involve simply rubbing the marker's tip along the scratch a few times to fill it in. After some of the marker's ink has been deposited into the scratch, rub the area gently with a soft, clean cloth. This will help blend the color into the surrounding wood and will remove any excess ink.

Small things can make a big difference if you put a little thought and feeling into it. Your wife or husband ultimately wants to know that, at the end of the day, you're thinking of them.  All of the following can be done for little or no money.  Suggest an after-dinner walk through the neighborhood. Turn one room into a dance floor and ask your spouse for a dance. Camp out in your own back yard. Read to your spouse in bed (with or without comic commentary). Go to the gym together (some couples swear that sex afterwards is great). Talk about ideas for a romantic vacation and store the details for safekeeping. It's nice to mix up the small, more mundane actions with bigger, more meaningful ones. These ones take a little more work and may cost (some, although not very much) money, but they'll be worth it when your spouse screams with excitement or wriggles with joy.  Make a video montage of your wedding night. Reach out to your in-laws and plan a surprise birthday party. Recreate your first date, first kiss, or first run-in. Write and record your spouse a love song (can be sincere or tongue-in-cheek). Create a storybook fictionalizing the beginning of your relationship. They can be simple things, like drawing a bath, giving a massage, doing the dishes, or writing a poem. Choose an action that you know your partner will appreciate.  Remember, denying yourself never means doing things begrudgingly. If you show affection, but drag your feet along the way, you may as well not be doing it.  Buy something for him/her when you know that they specifically want it. If he wants a Craftsman set of tools, or she wants a Fendi handbag, they might be upset at your well-meaning attempts to get them or make them something similar. Make something for them when you're trying to show effort. It doesn't take much effort to buy your spouse what you know they want, but it sure takes effort thinking of a poem, writing it down, and setting it in a frame. This shows real commitment. Numerous small gestures are easier than one big one....

Smart players will target your Pylons before going after other buildings. If your enemy forces manage to destroy a pylon, all the buildings within its power field will cease to function--unless, of course, you overlap pylons to extend power fields. Unlike Terran SCVs, your Probes do not need to tend to a building during construction. In fact, Probes don't "build" buildings; they warp them in. Once your Probe initiates the warp-in process, you can assign it to other jobs, like resource gathering. The building will appear on its own. As a Protoss player, your strength lies not in numbers, but in brute force. Two or three Protoss units are equal to twice as many Terran and Zerg units. Build up contingents of four to five combat units, then attack to keep up pressure on your opponents. The Sentry unit has an ability called Hallucination that creates illusions of combat units. To you, hallucinations appear translucent, but to your opponents, they look real. They cannot inflict any damage and they die quickly, but you can use them as decoys to keep your opponents busy while your real combat units wreak havoc.

Smartphones are becoming smarter and smarter, and some believe that they'll soon replace digital cameras altogether.  The iPhone5 model boasts an 8-megapixel camera and other features like panoramic view.  The HTC One has 5 different levels of flash for low-light settings, as well as a 28 mm lens for detailed wide-angle shots. The Nokia Lumia 1020 offers an astounding 41 megapixels, which is significantly greater than your average point-and-shoot camera.  In addition, this phone has a 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) image sensor, rivaling a Nikon DSLRs 1.69 inches (4.3 cm).  The image sensor determines how much light your camera captures and ultimately decides the overall clarity of the megapixels. While cellphone resolutions are rivaling and surpassing their digital camera counterparts, they also lack certain features that will improve the overall quality.   While convenient all-in-one devices, smartphones also lack high quality optics and sensors.  This means that poorly lit photos won't be as detailed on your phone as they are on digital cameras.  You also won't be able to control your smartphone's shutter speed, which can yield blurry action photos. Smartphone cameras are best used as alternatives for point-and-shoot cameras.  Since point-and-shoot models are aimed at casual photographers, chances are the few extra features that are available will end up being unused anyway.  Cellphone pictures also suffer from inappropriate vertical portrait framing, meaning that photos taken sideways can sometimes have black borders around the actual photo. While a frugal alternative, your smartphone won't be an adequate substitute if you want to snap photos for a living.  Digital cameras use high capacity SD cards, capable of holding 256 GB or more.  That's enough storage to hold 64,000 photos!  Even the most top-of-the-line smartphones offer up to only 32 GB of storage, most of which will support other features besides your camera.

Smash apart the head of garlic, or slice off the tip with a knife and pull apart the cloves. Place the flat of a wide knife blade over a single clove. Smack the knife blade firmly with the heel of your hand. The clove will now be slightly smashed and easily separated from its skin. Now you can mince the garlic or crush it into a paste. If you don't have a wide knife, place the heel of your hand over the clove and press firmly. This method is less effective, but useful if you want to use a whole clove without bruising it. Hold the garlic clove with the flatter end against your thumb, with your forefinger hooked over the pointy end. Pinch your fingers together to bend the clove, splitting the skin. Tug the skin off in one piece. This works best for cloves with papery skin. These silicone or rubber tubes are relatively cheap and easy to use. Put the garlic in the tube, roll it over a surface, and the skin comes right off. You can use a silicone or rubber mat instead, rolling it into a tube yourself. This saves on kitchen space since they double as jar openers or non-slip surfaces. A garlic press crushes a clove of garlic through a mesh, squeezing out mashed garlic and leaving the skin behind. Some chefs dislike using kitchen space on a one-purpose tool, but these can save a lot of time if you don't have the knife skills of a ninja.  Try these tricks to clean the skin out of your press afterward.

Smiling has been shown to give people a better impression of you.  When you smile, you show that you’re friendly and confident.  If you want to make a good impression on someone you admire or like, it’s best to smile when you meet them. One of the key strategies for keeping your cool when you’re nervous for any reason is to simply breathe and focus on your breathing.  Your heart will naturally slow down and you’ll feel calmer. When you're nervous, you probably tend to talk faster, and this can cause the person you're talking to miss what you say.  When you're talking to someone you admire or like, you don't want them to miss what you say!  Speed-talking will make you seem nervous.  Repeat to yourself, “Slow down.  It’s going to be okay.” Making eye contact will let the person you're talking to feel know you’re paying attention. You’ll want to keep a good posture by standing with your back straight and your arms at your sides.  If you’re meeting this person for the first time, be careful not to act overly familiar by waving at them as though you already know them well. In addition to helping you keeping your cool, paying attention to what they are saying will let you to have something intelligent to say back.  You may find yourself getting lost in anxiety or overthinking what you want to say to back to them.  If that happens, think to yourself, “Listen.”  This should help you return to the moment. By asking open-ended questions, you can get to know who they really are, not just your impression of them.  It's okay to be quiet and listen while they talk.  Give yourself time to think about an open-ended question they've just asked.  Say, "Let me think about that for a second."  As long as you answer the question they're asking openly and honestly, such a response won't make you seem like you're dodging something uncomfortable. It's also perfectly okay to set boundaries when they ask something you don't feel comfortable answering.  You can say something like, "I appreciate how curious you are but I'm not really...

Smiling is a powerful way to boost your mood and makes you appear more friendly and attractive. Even the action of smiling can relax your body and improve your outlook. When you’re feeling nervous around your crush, give them a confident smile.  This doesn't mean that you have to smile 100% of the time like a Barbie doll. Instead, flash them a quick smile to show that you are comfortable around them. Try to smile with your eyes as well; this will make your expression look more natural.

Smiling is actually contagious, and when she catches your smile she'll know how excited you are to be with her. Some research even indicates that smiling makes you more attractive. Don't break off your hug like you can't wait to get away! Allow your embraces to last longer than ordinary. Rest her head in the crook of your neck. Physical contact with other people releases oxytocin, also called the love hormone, into the blood. Longer touches translate to more oxytocin, drawing the two of you closer together. Hand holding is proven to reduce stress, so why not put your girlfriend at ease and take her hand? Use soft touches to relay a sense of happiness and generosity. Firm or hard touches can make her feel like you are being selfish or aggressive. Many people have a certain touch or caress that has a calming effect. Look for these in your girlfriend, and use them to say, "I love you," without a word. You don't have to aim for the lips! The forehead, nose, and cheek are excellent landing zones for a quick kiss. Eye contact is one of the most universal ways of communication. Taking a moment to look deeply into her eyes can remind you both just how much you love each other. When in a rush, you may opt for the half-hug or a quick embrace with two pats to the back, but a safe, encompassing, heart-to-heart hug will make her feel like she's most important person in your life.

Smoking can reduce the effects of estrogen and increase your risk of complications. If you smoke cigarettes, talk to your doctor about quitting. HRT may reduce your sex drive and libido. If you are currently in a relationship, talk to your partner about your needs and desires. Make sure that they understand that your sex drive may decrease. If necessary, you both may want to attend couples counselling to help you work through it together. For some people, the lack of sex drive will last for as long as they take HRT. Estrogen will change the way that your body distributes fat and muscle. Women generally are less muscular than men. That said, muscle tone is important to general health. Keep exercising to maintain a healthy muscle tone. Estrogen will cause the hair on your back, face, and arms to thin, but it will rarely take it away completely. To remove hair from these areas, book an appointment with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for electrolysis or laser hair removal treatments. It may take several treatments to remove hair completely.  The average cost of laser hair removal is $235 USD per session.  The average cost of electrolysis is between $50-100 USD an hour. HRT can help you feel at peace with your gender identity. That said, you may have mood swings or other side effects during this time. Tell your friends and family what to expect as you go through HRT. Ask them to help support you through the process.  If you are not already going through therapy, you may want to find a mental health professional who can provide support during the process. Many LGBT centers offer support groups for people who are currently going through or considering HRT.

Smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco harms the inner lining of your mouth, and can also cause cancer and other health problems. If you are undergoing chemotherapy, smoking is very likely to produce and mouth sores and make them far more painful and prone to infection.   Quitting tobacco can be very difficult, so talk to your doctor about a plan to help you quit. Your doctor can help provide you with things like the nicotine patch to slowly wean you off cigarettes. You should also ask friends and family members for support as you try to quit smoking. If you know anyone who smokes, ask that they not do so in front of you. Some foods can make mouth sores worse. Sharp foods, or very acidic foods, should be avoided if you want your mouth sores to heal properly.  Acidic and spicy foods tend to irritate the mouth, so stay away from things like citrus fruits and salsas. Sharp foods, and very crunchy foods, should also be avoided. Stay away from things like chips, pretzels, and crackers. Alcohol can irritate your mouth sores and make your symptoms more painful. Do not drink alcohol until your mouth sores are healed. There may be other risk factors associated with drinking alcohol when on chemo, so make sure to talk to your doctor about alcohol consumption. As with smoking, ask family members and friends for support when tapering off alcohol. Request that people not drink in front of you.

Smoking may delay the healing process, so it is a good idea to quit smoking while you are recovering from thyroid surgery. Ask your doctor about smoking cessation programs in your area as well as other resources that may help you to quit smoking. Good nutrition and adequate hydration are important ways to support your body’s healing process. You may need to follow a special liquid or soft foods diet after your surgery and then stick to your doctor’s recommendations thereafter.  A liquid diet includes juices, broth, water, decaffeinated tea, and ice. A soft foods diet includes items such as pudding, jello, mashed potatoes, applesauce, room temperature soups or broths, and yogurt. You should be able to move to solid foods as tolerated after a few days. As you recover from surgery, you will have some pain when you swallow, so it is a good idea to take pain medications about 30 minutes prior to your meals. Use a high SPF sunscreen, such as SPF 30, or keep your scar covered a scarf for an entire year. Using these measures to protect your scar from the sun will provide the best cosmetic outcome for your neck wound. Make sure that your wound is fully healed before applying sunscreen on it. This should take about two to three weeks.

Smoothly bring the knife down and towards yourself on the honing steel. Keep the knife at the same angle as you move the knife. The tip of the knife should be at the base of the steel. You only need to apply light pressure as you move the blade. You should also move the blade slowly to reduce the risk of cutting yourself. Keep holding the honing steel vertically. To hone the other side of the knife, place the bottom (heel) of the blade on the other side of the steel near the top. Apply light pressure and bring the blade down the steel. Depending on how hard or dull your knife is, you'll need to run each side of the blade down the honing steel 5 to 10 times. You can either completely hone one side at a time or alternate them so long as you hone them the same number of times. Rinse the blade of the knife under running water and then dry the blade with a soft cloth. While honing shouldn't remove metal from the blade, microscopic metal filings might have come off the blade. If your knives still won't cut through paper after you've used the honing steel, they may be too dull, pitted, or nicked. You can either use a sharpening stone, electric knife sharpener, or have the knives professionally sharpened.

Snacks around 100 calories will help wake you up a little, providing enough sustenance to combat fatigue. Anything heavier than 100 calories may make you crash after eating, so opt for healthy 100 calories snacks while driving. Sunflower seeds are often sold in 100 calorie packs and can keep you energized. Stock up on a few packs of sunflower seeds and eat them as necessary while driving. A single cup of coffee contains about 75 milligrams of caffeine. This is enough to wake you up a little while driving, keeping you alert. Have one cup of coffee if you start to feel tired. This should give you an extra jolt that will help you keep going. Keep your eyes open for filling stations and coffee shops along the road. When you feel tired, pull over at one of these places and have a cup of coffee. Plus, you'll get to stretch your legs when not behind the wheel and you could even have a longer sleep if you wish. This will keep your mouth busy. If you have something that occupies you, this can help you focus and stay awake. Pick up a couple of packs of chewing gum for a long trip. If you start to feel drowsy, chew some gum. Make sure to go for sugar-free gum. Sugary gum can cause a sugar crash, leaving you feeling more tired than you were before. If you have to pull over and eat, go for small portions. Big, heavy meals can cause you to crash and become tired. Go for small portions and tiny meals when you pull over and snack on light foods throughout the drive. A number of small meals will keep you more energized than one or two big meals.  For example, have half a sandwich at one stop and, when you're hungry again, pull over and eat the other half. Remember to go for energizing foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

Snacks, appetizers, and finger foods are crucial for a party. This is because they are easy to graze on in between activities and conversations. Eating a meal tends to fill your mouth for too long, making it hard to interact with people. You don't even need to have "real" food as long as you have plenty of great snacks. Great options include crackers and cheese, individual small cups of layered dips, and stuffed wraps or rolls. Don't forget the gold standards either, like chips and veggies with dip. If your party coincides with a mealtime, you'll want to be sure to offer foods that are a little more substantial too. Someone that's too hungry can cruise through snacks, leaving other guests without something to eat. You'll want to plan ahead and make something that's easy and fast to prepare and that doesn't cost too much. For example, a burrito bar is quick to throw together and very cheap. It's also easy to cater it to lots of different tastes and food restrictions. Everyone loves dessert. Even if your other food was lacking, having a really great dessert can make sure people leave with a great impression of your gathering. Of course, you can just buy a dessert from a local store (splurge and get something fancy) but you can also make your own. Did you know you can make a pretty impressive cheesecake in your blender with just milk, sugar, cream cheese and Biscuits? Pour it into a store-bought crust and top with fresh berries to wow your guests with minimal effort. As you're planning your food, try to think about how you're going to prepare it all. You'll want to leave yourself plenty of time to make the food so that you're not left in the kitchen while your guests are out. Try to choose foods that you can make the night before or that can be prepped a day or two before and then thrown in the oven when guests arrive. For example, let's say you're throwing a formal dinner party. You can start marinading a roast overnight, setting it to soak in juices and stuffing it with garlic. Prep mashed potatoes the night...

Snake plants are hardy, tough plants that can survive in full sunlight, as well as very low light. But they really thrive in indirect sunlight, which is why they are such great houseplants.  Indirect sunlight can be near an eastern facing window or in the center or corner of a room that isn’t directly exposed to sunlight coming in through a window. Snake plants prefer natural light, so avoid putting them in a room without any windows. Sansevieria prefer warmer temperatures, but anything above 85 °F (29 °C) is dangerous for the plant and will cause it to start to wilt. Snake plants are also susceptible to cold temperatures. Anything below 50 °F (10 °C) can kill the roots of the plant. Temperature fluctuations do not generally affect snake plants as long as the temperature stays within their preferred range. Snake plants have a low level of toxicity, but they can cause pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if they’re ingested. Pets and small babies are at particular risk of accidentally eating some of the leaves. Be sure to place your snake plant somewhere out of reach to them. A floating shelf or stool can elevate your plant and keep it out of reach.
