Comb out your hair, starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots. If your hair is very frizzy, consider applying a bit of hair oil or smoothing cream. You will have a right section, a middle section, and a left section. Hold the left section in your left hand and the right section in your right hand.  If you want two braids, one on each side of your head, then part your hair down the middle. Choose one side to start braiding first. Part the hair on that side into three sections. Try to position the braid just behind your ear for a sleek, chic look. You can make your braid as long or as short as you want. Most people leave the last 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of their hair unbraided; you can leave more if that's what you like. Hold the end of your braid secure with one hand, and use the other hand to wrap a hair tie around the end of your braid. Make sure that the hair tie is snug; if it is too loose, you may need to wrap it a few more times.  Try to use a hair tie that matches your hair color: black, brown, or beige/blond. If you have dark red hair, go for a brown hair tie. If you have lighter red hair, use a beige hair tie. If you are doing two braids, then repeat the whole process on the other side of your head. You can tie a thick ribbon around the end of your braid into a bow. You can also tuck in a silk flower, or add a pretty hairclip. This is a great way to dress up an otherwise ordinary braid. Here are some ideas to get you started:  If it is summer, consider tucking a silk hibiscus or orchid into your braid for a tropical look. In the fall, consider using a clip made from bronze, leather, or wood. If it is winter, consider using a delicate silver clip with clear rhinestones. You can also go festive with a red and green ribbon for Christmas, or a blue and white ribbon for Hanukkah. If it is spring, stick with ribbons, delicate flowers, pastel colors, or bright colors.

Comb your dry hair until it's tangle-free. Start at the ends of your hair and work your way up to prevent painful snagging and breakage. Just a few drops, less than half a teaspoon of almond oil, should be enough to coat your hair. You don't want to go overboard, or your hair will end up looking oily for the rest of the day. Start at the ends of your hair and then slowly work up into the strands, stopping at least 5 inches (12.7cm) from the scalp. Coating the ends of your hair with almond oil will tame flyaways and frizz and give your hair a sleeker look. Don't apply it too close to your roots, or your hair will look oily. Using almond oil is a great way to protect your hair from dryness and split ends. Put a few drops onto your fingers and apply the oil to the very tips of your hair a few times a day, or however often you need, to keep your hair strong and beautiful.

Comb your hair first to remove any knots or tangles. Apply a heat protectant and comb through your hair once more to distribute the product. Gather a 1 to 2 in (2.5 to 5.1 cm) wide section of hair from next to your face. Clamp a 1 in (2.5 cm) wide flat iron over the section, close to your roots. You can use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb for this. Do not use a hairbrush, or it will smooth out the curls too much and make your hair turn frizzy. This will also help give you a little extra volume while absorbing the excess oils. If you want a more authentic, beachy look, you can mist some sea salt spray or beach spray as well. This will give you that natural, dirty look your hair gets after a day at the beach. Be careful when using sea salt or beach spray, as these products are wet and can flatten your waves.

First, read the English article below.

Comb your hair until it is free of knots and tangles, then apply a good heat protectant. Comb through your hair once more to evenly distribute the product throughout your hair. This method will give you waves that are either vertical (twists) or horizontal (braids). Pull the end of your rope or braid towards your head to make a loop. Secure it to the start of the rope or braid, right at the roots, with a hair clip.  A duckbill clip will work especially well here because it won't leave creases in your hair. Keep the rope or braid intact. Don't let it come untwisted or unbraided. How long this takes depends on your hair and how hot your flat iron was. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to 15 minutes. Take advantage of the wait time and continue to get ready for the day, such as putting on jewelry or make up. Apply the dry shampoo to your hair first, then gently comb it through your hair with your fingers. This will help soak up any excess oils and give your hair some texture. Apply some sea salt or beach spray next to give it that final, beachy texture.

Combine 1 cup (240 mL) whole milk and ⅓ cup (80 mL) Nutella in a blender. If you don't have a blender, use a large bowl and an electric mixer instead. Keep mixing until there are no gooey chocolate lumps. Use almond milk instead for a low-dairy version. (Nutella does contain skim milk, so this is not completely dairy-free.) Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top. Stick the popsicle handles into the liquid.  If you don't have popsicle molds, pour into cups and cover with plastic wrap. Poke a small hole through the plastic with a popsicle stick, dunking it in the liquid.  You can use an ice cube tray to make mini-popsicles. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and stick a toothpick through it into each cube. This usually takes about five hours. You might be able to speed this up by keeping them in the back of the freezer where it's coldest. Fill a jug or tall bowl with warm tap water. Hold the handle of the mold and dip the other end into the water. This should loosen the popsicles and make it easier to take out.

Combine almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, xanthan gum, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter a little at a time. Mix it until the mixture looks like crumbs. Add water 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) at a time until the mixture clumps together as dough. Form the dough into a flat disc and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. If you have a food processor, you can make the dough in it. Pulse the dry ingredients first. Add the butter and pulse until it crumbles. Then add the water as instructed. While you are waiting for the dough to chill, preheat the oven at 300 degrees. Take a large baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Roll 1 tablespoon of the dough into a thick stick with your hands. Place a piece of parchment paper on your work surface. Roll the dough until it is less than a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick and 7 to 8 inches (17.8 to 20.3 cm) long. Take 2 or 3 teaspoons of cheese and press it all around the dough until it sticks. Place it on the baking sheet. Repeat for all of the dough and cheese.  If your straws break as you roll them out, piece them back together. Roll them again to smooth them out. Recipe makes 24 straws. Place the baking sheet of straws into the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The straws should be firm and the cheese should be golden brown. Set them on a wire rack to cool. Let them cool completely before eating. Cooling the straws allows them to crisp all the way.

Combine cream, syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, salt and half the chocolate together in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low or low (wherever it reaches a low simmer). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remember that you want a low simmer, not a rapid boiling after the mixture has reached its initial boiling point. Your mixture shouldn't be splashing about and all over the stove - this is a sign you've got the temperature too high. Stir in the remaining chocolate, the butter, and the vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Store in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The texture you're looking for is pourable but still thick.

Combine equal parts cold milk, water, and ice in a bowl. Soak a clean cloth in the mixture, then apply to affected area for five minutes. Repeat the application three times.  The inflammation of your skin after waxing is similar to a sunburn, and a cool compress will ease constrict the blood vessels and reduce swelling to lessen the appearance of redness. The protein in the milk will aid in healing and will also protect your skin. Pour approximately three tablespoons of witch hazel into a small bowl and soak either a clean cloth or cotton balls in it. Apply lightly to the area of redness as needed. The tannins and oils in witch hazel lessen inflammation and, therefore, reduce redness and discomfort. Cucumber has long been noted for its analgesic, or pain relief, properties, as well as antioxidant qualities, which encourage healing of red and inflamed skin. Slice a chilled cucumber and apply the slices to the red areas of your skin. Turn the slices over as they warm to your skin, in order to keep the cool side next to your skin.  To make a cucumber mask for lasting effect, use a food processor or grater to create a paste and apply to the affected area.  For a thicker paste, add cornstarch or aloe vera gel. Colloidal oatmeal, made from finely ground oatmeal, soothes inflammation and moisturizes skin. Mix a few teaspoons of 100% pure colloidal oatmeal with just enough water to create a paste. Apply to the redness and allow to dry for 10 minutes before rinsing off.  Use this treatment up to four times per week.  Make a bath using colloidal oatmeal if your redness is your body rather than on your face. You can purchase bath packets containing 100% colloidal oatmeal in your local pharmacy. Make your own colloidal oatmeal by grinding stone ground or rolled, but not instant, oats in a food mill or food processor. Vinegar has some healing properties for mild burns, which the redness might indicate. Add one cup pure unfiltered apple cider vinegar to a spray bottle and apply to red areas after a lukewarm shower.

Combine the milk and water in a pint-sized (500-ml) microwave-safe mason jar. Microwave the jar uncovered for 2 minutes on full power.  Watch the milk carefully as it heats in your microwave. It should begin bubbling, but should not be allowed to reach a full boil. Whole-fat dairy milk will produce the most foam, but you can use nearly any type of milk, including non-dairy varieties like soy and nut milks. Just keep in mind that the amount of foam will decrease as the fat content decreases. For this amount of latte, the jar should be pint-sized (500-ml) at minimum, but it can be larger than that if necessary. Sprinkle the matcha into the hot milk mixture. If you wish to add sugar or honey, do so now.  Since matcha can develop clumps as it sits, it's a good idea to sift the powder into the hot milk instead of adding it directly. Doing so should break up any lumps and make the powder easier to mix. Green tea can be bitter on its own, so while sweeteners are not necessary, they are recommended. For this method, dry sweeteners like sugar and stevia generally work better than liquid sweeteners like milk or agave syrup. Seal the jar tightly with its lid, then shake the jar for a full 60 seconds or until the drink inside looks evenly combined and foamy.  Note that you may need to hold the jar using oven mitts or a tightly wrapped kitchen towel to protect your hands from the heat. If you aren't using a jar with a lid, pour all of the ingredients into a small blender or submerge a handheld immersion blender into the cup. Process the ingredients for 10 to 20 seconds, or until evenly combined. The surface of the latte should also develop a thin layer of foam. Pour the green tea latte into a mug that holds at least 8 oz (250 ml). It should now be finished and ready to drink. If desired, you can dust the surface with additional matcha powder or drizzle it with a dash of honey.

Combine the olive oil, Dijon mustard, and a dash of black pepper in a bowl, whisking the ingredients together thoroughly. You can mix the marinade in a large resealable plastic bag or inside a dish that is large enough to fit all the rabbit pieces in a single layer. Place the rabbit pieces into the marinade and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour, if not longer.  When roasting an entire rabbit, only use farmed rabbit. If using wild rabbit, only use the saddle or torso of the rabbit. Farmed rabbit has much more fat, so it fares better in dry heat methods like roasting than wild rabbit does. Since the saddle of wild rabbit is fatty enough, though, it can still be roasted. Use 2 large saddles or 4 smaller saddles from wild rabbits in place of 2 full farmed rabbits. Marinating the rabbit for 2 hours is actually ideal since the marinade will have more time to permeate and flavor the meat. Prepare an ovenproof frying pan by adding the butter to it and warming it over medium-high heat.  Continue heating the butter until it melts. Duck fat or lard can also be used instead of unsalted butter. Add the rabbit to the butter in the frying pan and cook it for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until browned on each side. Transfer the ovenproof frying pan with the rabbit and remaining butter into the preheated oven. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes before testing the pieces for doneness.  When done, the meat should feel firm and there should no longer be any internal redness or blood. Drain the pan drippings before returning the pan to the stove. Pour the stock into the frying pan and heat it over medium until the stock begins to simmer. The simmer should be fairly gentle. Do not let the stock reach a rapid, rolling boil. Remove the frying pan from the heat and let it rest in a warm area for 10 minutes. Serve while still warm.

Combining harsh fumes from smoke with cleaning products can irritate your lungs, so make sure you have the windows open (if possible) and fans running to bring fresh air to the area in which you are working. Especially when cleaning your ceiling, safety goggles will prevent you getting soot in your eyes, while rubber gloves will protect your hands from cleaning chemicals. In addition, try to wear old clothes that you doing mind getting stained and ruined. A hat will protect your hair from dust and soot. This will help to avoid transferring soot stains to the carpet or flooring. The first step to cleaning smoke damage is to remove any loose soot clinging to the walls. This can be done with a vacuum cleaner or with a dry chemical sponge.  Fix the plain attachment onto the vacuum cleaner hose, and hold the nozzle slightly above the surface of the wall. Move it back and forth until all loose soot is removed. You may also want to try using the brush attachment to brush off any additional soot. Anything that is not sucked into your vacuum cleaner should fall on to your drop cloth. Try a dry chemical sponge as an alternative to vacuuming. This chemical sponge is highly recommended because it is impregnated with a chemical that removes soot and smoke from your wall. Using a dry sponge, wipe the soot stain on the wall repeatedly. When the sponge becomes saturated with soot, wash it out in a sink and allow to air dry. If there is severe soot damage on walls or ceilings, they may need to be replaced. A popular cleaner for smoke-damaged walls is Trisodium Phosphate (TSP). While this is a more powerful cleaning solution, it still requires a great deal of time and effort to clean the damage to your walls and/or ceiling.  Put on a pair of heavy duty gloves to protect your hands and forearms and a pair of goggles to protect your eyes. Wear old clothes that you don’t mind having ruined. Fill a standard bucket with 1 gallon warm water and add 1 tablespoon of TSP. Wet a sponge with the TSP solution and wipe your wall or ceiling...

Come to God in prayer until something happens! Pray constantly. Ask God for guidance and  healing around the clock, not just when it is convenient for you to do so. Pray on your commute, for five minutes at your desk, and at recess or lunch. Asking persistently for a miracle demonstrates your commitment. When you pray, be persistent about listening to God too. Listen for God’s guidance. Actively seek His advice. Devote an entire morning, day, or week to persistent prayer. Free yourself from distractions. Go to a park, sit by a lake, sit in a sanctuary, or retire to your bedroom. Make sure to listen to God’s will and directions too! Don’t be afraid to state what you want in clear and simple language. Ask God for the miracle. It is acceptable to be direct and to the point. Precise prayer requires focus and dedication. To avoid a wandering mind, avoid filling your prayers with irrelevant statements or flowery language—this won’t earn you any extra points!  Repeat simple and direct phrases as part of your prayer. To help you focus, repeat the Catholic “Miracle Prayer.” The prayer goes as follows: “Lord Jesus, I come before Thee, just as I am, I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In Thy Name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give Thee my entire self, Lord Jesus, I accept Thee as my Lord God and Savior. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul, and spirit. Come Lord Jesus, cover me with Thy Precious Blood, and fill me with Thy Holy Spirit , I love Thee Lord Jesus, I praise Thee Lord Jesus, I thank Thee Jesus, I shall follow Thee every day of my life. Amen. Mary, My Mother, Queen of Peace, all the Angels and Saints, please help me. Amen.” Waiting for a miracle to happen is frustrating. You may feel helpless, hopeless, and lost. You may want to wrangle control of your life from God. Take a deep, calming breath. Don’t lose faith in God. Your prayers are not being ignored. God works on His own timeline...

Come up with a rough idea for how you will structure the book. You can ask yourself some of the following questions to help you:  How many chapters will you include? How will you divide specific topics between the chapters? Will the chapters be independent from each other, or will students need to read one before they can move on to the next? Will you arrange the chapters in ascending order of difficulty? By the time the student finishes the textbook, will they be prepared to move onto the next grade level in the subject? It is likely you won't be able to include every single piece of information relating to your subject in the book; rather, you will need to prioritize the most important content.  What are the goals of the course in which this textbook would be used? What skills should students leave the course having practiced? What should they know to prepare for the material in the next grade or class level? How will your textbook correspond to standardized tests that students need to take during the school year? Consider finding examples of these tests to help guide your answer to this question. You might be tempted to work on each individual chapter until it's perfect before you move on the next. Avoid this, as it will slow you down.  Instead, write a complete draft of each chapter in the book. Once you have a full draft of each chapter, you will be able to better understand how they all work together and where you need to add more material or cut down on the length. Create a set writing schedule and then stick to it. If you make a regular habit of writing your textbook (say, from 3:00-5:00pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays), you will be able to consistently get significant work done. Avoid writing erratically in large chunks of time.  If you are working under a publisher's deadline, do not procrastinate. Give yourself plenty of time to complete the task at hand.

Comedonal acne consists of small whiteheads and blackheads that are the result of oil and dead skin cells that clog pores. Inflammatory acne is a step beyond comedonal acne, where the blackheads and whiteheads gain an inflamed, red halo and also lead to red bumps and pimples. Comedonal acne is most commonly found on the chin, nose, and forehead. Oral antibiotics work by reducing inflammation caused by bacteria that lives on your skin. Some antibiotics may not work if build up a resistance to them; in that case, your doctor will change your prescription. Common side effects of oral antibiotics include upset stomach and dizziness. A particularly concerning side effect of antibiotics for those with fair skin is increased sensitivity to sunlight. Benzoyl peroxide comes in the form of topical lotions, creams, and gels. It is effective at treating mild to moderate acne because it causes the outer layer of the epidermis to shed.  When applied on the skin, benzoyl peroxide breaks down into benzoic acid and oxygen that are toxic to the bacteria that cause acne.  Apply the benzoyl peroxide to the affected areas with acne after washing your face with a gentle cleanser and warm water. It should typically be applied twice a day or as described by your dermatologist.  Side effects include mild skin irritation, tingling, and dryness. The side effects are usually more severe if your skin is already dry. Products containing salicylic acid are especially helpful for comedonal acne and are available over-the-counter. It can unclog pores and help slow the shedding of cells. Salicylic acid is most effective when used regularly, but make sure you read the directions so you don't over-use it and cause irritation. Retinoids, derived from vitamin A, are and effective acne therapy that have been used for over 30 years. Retinoid creams reduce blackheads and whiteheads by preventing hair follicles to become clogged with dead skin cells and sebum.  Retinoids are available as topical acne treatments (ointments, lotions, creams) and may be...

Commercial piercing kits are available with everything you'll need to pierce your tongue. A 14 gauge barbell is recommended for the tongue. To do the job properly, you'll need:  1 sterilized 14-gauge piercing needle or cannula (a hollow needle using in piercing) 1 new 7/8-inch,14-gauge steel tongue barbell-style piercing surgical forceps sterile latex surgical gloves You should never attempt to pierce your tongue with anything other than a sterile piercing needle or cannula, and should never stud the piercing with anything but a new barbell-style piercing. Good quality piercing kits are sometimes cheaper than having your tongue pierced at the shop, but not necessarily. Usually it's not worth it in terms of value and effort. If you've got a shop you trust, you can have your tongue pierced by a professional, in and out in probably less than 20 minutes. Make sure that you clean everything that you are going to be using with rubbing alcohol. The stud, the forceps, and especially the needle need to be cleaning thoroughly and then sterilized. It should go without saying, though it bears repeating: Never reuse piercing needles and only use needles specifically used for piercing if you're going to try to pierce your own tongue. Before you try to pierce anything, it's important to brush your teeth thoroughly and rinse your mouth out with a gentle anti-bacterial non-alcoholic mouthwash. Wash your hands with soap and water, then sterilize them with hand sanitizer and put on some clean, disposable latex gloves. While some people with their tongue pierced say that the tongue piercing is one of the least painful piercings you can get, and that it hurts even less than biting your tongue, it still involved jabbing a needle all the way through part of your body. It's no walk in the park. Anticipate the pain of the needle so you don't get halfway through and stop.

Commercial stain fighting products come with built in enzymes that help eliminate urine stains and odors. Apply the stain remover to the urine stain and follow the directions on the label.  Look for products that are specifically designed for use on dog urine stains. If you’re worried about the ingredients in a commercial stain remover affecting your dog or your family, look for a stain remover that’s labeled “green” or “all natural.” Search online for “carpet-cleaning machine rentals near me.” If you don’t want to use the chemical cleaner that comes with the machine, replace it with an all natural cleaner or a homemade cleaning solution. Follow the instructions given by the rental company to remove the stain. Contact a local carpet cleaner and pay to have them come treat the stain. A carpet cleaner should have the machinery and solutions necessary to fully eliminate the stain and odor from your carpet.

Commercially available aloe vera gel is sold in bottles and they come in varying degrees of purity. Many of these commercial products contain additives and chemicals. Since you’ll be using this shampoo directly on your hair and scalp, it’s best to get the purest aloe vera gel you can find. Check the label and ingredients before you buy a product. Make sure it’s certified organic and labelled as “pure.”  If it lists any chemical names or alcohol as ingredients, look for a different brand. You can buy aloe vera gel at most grocery stores, but these tend to be the less pure versions. A health or natural medicine shop is the best place to obtain pure aloe vera gel that is certified organic. Harvesting the fresh gel from an aloe plant will provide the most beneficial results. If you don’t grow aloe vera in your home, consider buying a few plants. To harvest the gel, start by cutting off one full leaf from the plant. Slice the leaf open length-wise and pull apart the two halves. Scoop out the thick, translucent gel with a spoon.  Spoon the fresh gel into a clean bowl nearby. You only need 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of fresh gel, which you can harvest quickly and easily. It will only take a few aloe vera leaves to provide that amount. Aloe vera gel is a great moisturizer and can naturally promote hair growth. It’s a great carrier if you want to include natural herbs for added benefits. You can use any combination of the following dried herbs, as needed, as long as you don’t use more than 2 ounces (56 grams) total.  For dry hair use nettle, burdock, rosemary or calendula. For oily hair use yarrow, lavender, lemon balm or mint. If you have blonde hair try calendula or chamomile. If you have dark hair try sage or comfrey. To combat dandruff try rosemary, thyme or any of the herbs for dry hair. Essential oils are concentrated extracts from natural plants. Many of them smell nice and others may have medicinal properties. There are quite a few essential oils that can benefit the health of your hair and scalp. You can...

Common allergy triggers include certain foods, dust, insect bites, pet dander, drugs, latex, mold, and cockroaches. Take note of the things that trigger your allergies so you can do your best to avoid them.  When you eat out, tell your server about any food allergies you have. Restaurants usually have strict policies in place to help avoid allergic reactions. Wear a face mask and eye protection if you do yardwork. Shower immediately afterward to remove any dust or pollen. Apply insect repellant when you go outside to avoid insect bites. Dust and vacuum your home regularly to keep pollen, dirt, and other allergens from affecting you. Whenever you arrive back home, change your clothes and take a shower to keep from tracking in allergens. Change your sheets and pillowcases regularly as well.  Use antibacterial cleaners for your kitchen and bathroom. Ventilate your kitchen and bathroom by running vent hoods and fans to avoid mold growth. Bathe your furry pets once a week to reduce dander. If you have bad pet allergies, don’t sleep with your pet. Wash bedding in hot water every week or two to help kill dust mites. If you aren’t able to relieve your symptoms or your allergies are too severe, search online for an allergist near you or ask your doctor for a referral. An allergist will be able to test you to see exactly what you’re allergic to so you can get shots to help manage your symptoms and make them less severe. Allergy tests can be done as either skin tests or blood tests. Skin tests are fast and allow many allergens to be tested at the same time. Blood tests are often used if you have a severe skin condition or are likely to have a severe allergic reaction to a skin test. Some herbal remedies have been proven to help treat the symptoms of your allergies. However, before you try any herbal remedies, talk to your doctor to make sure they’re safe for you. Some herbal remedies can negatively interact with certain medications and could result in dangerous complications.  Vitamin C supplements (2,000 mg daily) may...

Common choices include peanut, canola, and vegetable, as they have a light flavor and a high smoke point. If you have a deep fryer, set it to 400F/205C. A candy thermometer is a great way to gauge temperature if you don't have a deep fryer. Crispy chips are fried not one but twice. In between, you must cool the potatoes and drain excess oil -- thus the paper towels. Without a thermometer, you can test the oil by placing a scrap of bread in the oil to see how quickly it browns. It should bubble gently and brown within 45 seconds. Once the potatoes hit, they will naturally lower the temperature of the oil to about 360F/180C. Keep it this way by lowering the heat to medium.  If using a deep fryer, reset the temperature to 360F/180C once the potatoes hit. Make sure that the potatoes are completely covered in hot oil, stirring once but mostly leaving alone until done. They should just be turning soft, with no more than a little golden coloring. Use a slotted or mesh spoon to pull the fries out, leaving the hot oil. Pat dry with paper towels.  You can cut the heat to the oil on the stove or deep fryer. Try more than 1 minute if you like your chips/wedges fluffy in the middle not rock solid. During this first fry, water molecules in the potato heat up and flee from the center of the chip, making it to the edges of the fry. As the potato cools, this water mixes with the starch and oil to form an invisible, gummy coating. This coating, which is cooked during the second fry, is the crispy, delicious exterior that makes the best chips. This means using your medium-high setting once more. Remember, a piece of bread dropped in the oil should be bubbling and browned in 20-30 seconds. If using a thermometer, note how the oil temperature once again drops to about 400F/205C. Try and keep it here. Once they look good to you, they are good to come out of the oven. Note that the fries tend to darken up just a little as they cool, so take them out 15-20 seconds before they are perfectly golden brown to get the best results. Make...

Common dietary supplements such as fish oil, Coenzyme Q10, and vitamin E thin your blood and make it harder for it to coagulate. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking blood thinning medications.  Additionally, foods can have the same effect, including raisins, prunes, cherries, cranberries, blueberries, grapes, strawberries, tangerines, oranges, onions, olive oil, garlic, ginger, green tea, papaya, and pumpkin seeds. Common herbs that can thin your blood include cinnamon, curry, cayenne pepper, paprika, thyme, turmeric, oregano, and peppermint.  Alternatively, some foods can decrease bleeding, such as green leafy vegetables, broccoli, celery, and carrots.  Eating pineapple a few days before surgery can reduce bleeding and bruising post-operation. For some people, the risk of blood clots is more dangerous than potential blood loss caused by slow coagulation. In fact, the clots that save your body from losing blood when you are injured can be deadly when they form within an artery or vein. In part for this reason, you should never take steps to help your blood coagulate and clot without professional medical guidance. If you are experiencing dangerous blood loss, there are some medications that are used exclusively for emergency treatment. For instance, antifibrinolytic drugs prevent blood clots from breaking down and can help prevent blood loss during surgery or following a serious injury. If you have an emergency situation, don’t hesitate to get medical attention because there are medicines available that can help your blood clot better. These drugs are administered by medical professionals, so seek treatment immediately.

Common symptoms include fever, rash, nausea, and fatigue. TSS symptoms typically come on all at once, rather than evolving slowly. This can be a way to distinguish TSS from more common illnesses, where your condition gradually worsens. If you develop a fever and flu-like symptoms while menstruating, remove your tampon immediately and seek medical attention. One of the first signs of TSS is a sudden high fever of 102.2ºF (39ºC) or above. The fever will likely be accompanied by other flu-like symptoms, such as a headache or muscle soreness.  Having nausea or diarrhea along with a fever may also be a sign that you've contracted TSS. These symptoms could be signal a wide variety of illnesses, including a basic cold or flu. However, if you have a high fever, you should seek immediate medical attention regardless. The doctor will take tests to eliminate other possible causes of your illness. A sunburn-like rash over most of your body is a sign of TSS. You may also notice that your lips, tongue, and the whites of your eyes turn bright red. After a day or two, the rash will start peeling. This is also somewhat like a sunburn, except that your skin will start peeling in large sheets.

Communicate with your partner about your desires, your turn-offs, and how you are feeling. Revisit this conversation often, as feelings, preferences, and life can change. Remember that couples frequently fight about sex, so it is important to keep communication open and clear to avoid resentment and frustration building up.  You may feel uncomfortable or vulnerable having a conversation with your partner about your sexuality, but try anyway. You could say, “Even though I have sex with you, I still feel kind of weird talking about having sex with you. But I want to talk with you about our sex life as a couple and how we can make it better.” Tell your partner what you like about your sex life and what turns you on. Talk about what you would like to change, or what puts you in the mood. You could say, “I really like it when we have sex in the shower and I would like to do that more often. I like it when we use toys. I wish we could have sex at least twice a week.” Ask your partner what they like or would change about your sex life. You both may find it very sexy to show your partner what you enjoy. Demonstrate how you masturbate to your partner, or place your partner’s hands on your body and show them what to do. If you or your partner don’t really know what you enjoy, experiment on yourselves or on each other. Masturbation is an important component of your sexual knowledge and health. Whether you are discussing sex or actually in the middle of it, create an environment where you are both open to acknowledging when one of you isn’t enjoying something. Sex makes us vulnerable, so it can be hard to handle criticism, but being too sensitive to receive it will create tension with your partner.  If your partner says, “I don’t really like it when you touch me like that,” say, “I’m sorry. Can you show me what you like?” Don’t take it personally. Even after many years, you will still have things to learn about each other. Discuss sexual consent with your partner. For an open, healthy sexual relationship, both of you...

Communicating by text may be the only way if you met this person through online dating, but take special care to compliment them first. Sometimes tone doesn't quite translate well through text. Paying them a compliment first will prevent your message from taking a harsh tone.  You might write, for example: "I enjoyed going out with you last week! You're an amazing hiker. That said, I just didn't feel the spark that would make me interested in a second date." Don't sugarcoat your words. Over-flattering them may give the person false hope. Write one or two compliments, then move on. Having this conversation through text can make the message long and rambling. Your recipient will understand you best if you keep the text simple. Aim for 3-5 sentences, at most. You might say, for example: "Hey, I had a fun time getting to know. Right now, though, I'm not interested in another date. Hope all is well!" Running through your text aloud can limit the disconnect in tone between texting and talking in-person. Consider how the words feel when said aloud and if there is a kinder way of phrasing your feelings, if your response seems cold.  Instead of texting, "Thanks, but you're not my type, buddy," for example, you could text, "You are a sweetheart. I'm glad we went out, but I think it would be best if we didn't schedule a second date." Adding an emoji, like a smiley face, can help make the text feel less brusque. Maturity is important when letting them know over text, as is treating their feelings seriously. If they ask you about a second date over text, respond to them directly. Deleting the text and forgetting about them might seem tempting, but you risk hurting the other person.

Communication is the key that unlocks the door of conflict. Effective communication requires careful and attentive listening to your partner, and vice versa. Many problems arise during communication when you are listening to reply rather than listening to understand. Try these active listening tips:  Eliminate distractions---turn off the TV and put your phones on silent. Turn and face your partner. Lean forward towards the person. Make eye contact. Hear your partner's entire perspective before speaking. Paraphrase what you heard by saying something like "It sounds like you're saying..." Try to empathize by looking for something about your partner's perspective that you agree with. When it's time for you to share your own perspective be sure to speak effectively. A great combination is to use "I" statements in conjunction with "X, Y, Z" statements.  Using an "I" statement allows you to take ownership for your own thoughts/feelings and minimizes your partner's defensiveness. The "X, Y, Z" part helps your partner see specifics. For example, you might say "When you come home(X) and immediately go to bed(Y), I feel very ignored(Z)". The statement can become even more effective when you start with "Z" or the "I" statement: "I feel very ignored when you come home and immediately go to bed". Many times a small issue becomes amplified when one or the other starts bringing up past issues. Always try to focus on the present moment and the problem at hand. When you bring up past issues, your ability to work through them becomes even more difficult. If this happens, one of you can easily point out, "Hey, sweetheart, let's not bring up the past. Let's figure out what can we do about the here and now. Ok?" Another potential roadblock to effective communication occurs when one or the other partner attacks the person rather than the issue. If one of you goes into a long rant about the other's personality traits, defensiveness and anger will probably pop up. Talk about a specific behavior, such as leaving dirty laundry strewn...

Communication is the key to any good relationship, especially with your parents. Ask directly: “Why won't you buy me fast food?” and you’re likely to get a direct response. Chances are high that your parents won't deal with disrespect or confrontational behavior. Calling names, yelling or being visibly frustrated will only make the conversation harder. No matter how frustrated you feel, keep it civil. For each one of the reasons that your parents give you as to why they won’t buy fast food, make a mental note. You’ll be able to refute these points with a little bit of research. Keep their reasons in mind and mentally file them away for later.

Communication is the most important tool in your relationship. Talk about things that you are bothering by, your likes and dislikes, and discuss solutions to your problems. Be as honest as your possibly can, and dig deep to get at your feelings. As you communicate with your partner, listen and be open minded. Frame your statements in a positive way, using I statements. For example, instead of saying, “you make me sad.”, say something like, “I feel sad when you don't remember our anniversaries”. Your relationship may feel like an endless cycle of negativity; complaining about work and friends or constantly nagging each other. Break from the cycle by focusing on the good, and orientating towards what is positive in your relationship. For example, focus on the great attributes of your partner, such as their humor, or the wonderful things you have accomplished together, such as buying a home or going on great vacations.  Think positively by expressing gratitude. Say thank you to each other to remind yourself of the good qualities of your partner. Making light of certain situations will help you feel and think more positively. Be playful and embrace humor! You chose your partner, flaws and all. Accept every part of your partner, both the good and the bad. If you partner chronically runs late for events, accept it, and don't try to change them. Accept that is their decision to be late, and be on time yourself. To help you accept your partner, focus on their best attributes to outshine the negative ones. Plan an exciting date like kayaking, go on a spontaneous vacation, or go on a treasure hunt! Have fun doing new things together. This will get you back to your roots of when you first met. Everything you did together was new back then, so consciously doing new things will help you remember where the sparks came from.

Companies offer a wide range of water types.  However, you may want to purchase water that was bottled from a natural source — like a spring or artesian well water.  Try:   Artesian well water.  This is water that is bottled from a well that contains either sand or rock that acts as an aquifer.  Aquifers are important as they are a natural filter for the ground water.   Mineral water.  This type of water contains no more than 250 parts per million of dissolved solids — it contains both minerals and trace elements.  No minerals or other elements that are not already present can be added to the product at any time.  Common minerals found include:  calcium, magnesium, and potassium.   Spring water.  This must be collected from an underground source that flows naturally to the ground's surface.  This type of water must be collected only from the spring or a tapping system that's directly accessing the spring.   Sparkling water.  This type of water contains carbon dioxide naturally.  After treatment, companies may add carbon dioxide back into the carbon dioxide content. Some companies sell bottled water that is considered "tap water" or comes from a municipal source.  If you're looking for an all natural or artesian water, bottled tap water should not be purchased.  Purified water must meet the standards laid out by the US Pharmacopoeia.  It must go through either distillation, reverse osmosis, or deionization prior to being bottled.  However, this is often collected from municipal sources and is generally the same as the water that comes from your tap. You may see these labeled as "Distilled Water," or, "Purified Drinking Water." Bottled purified water is generally not thought to be inferior to other forms of bottled water, however it should be known that it does not come from a natural spring source and is not considered artesian water. If you look at the bottom of the bottle or on the back of the bottle, you will see a label that refers to the type of plastic used in the particular bottle.  Many bottled waters...

Companies, like Google, famously employ a fun, open, relaxed work space. Add a pool table. Build a bar for coffee or drinks. Take out that florescent lighting. Bring in a living wall. I has been found that the quality of the working environment outweighs professional experience as a predictor of the quality of client care and employee morale. Additionally, those in management positions are more likely to rate the environment positively than employees working under them. Reward your employees for a job well done. Pizza lunches, casual Fridays and half days may increase motivation if you offer these perks occasionally. Make some of these things regular, and make some of them a surprise. This way you can avoid the rewards becoming monotonous, too. If part of their job duties includes sales, this can include sales goals. Having something to work toward can increase motivation, up-selling and profit potential. Give out a small prize or publicly recognize the winner for their accomplishment, however small.

Compared to cow's milk, almond milk is low in protein. Most varieties have about 1g of protein per 1 cup (8 oz) serving. Two percent cow's milk, however, has around 8g of protein for the same size serving. Almond milk mixes well with protein powders, making it a good choice for those who want to increase their protein intake without drinking cow's milk. Almond milk has no saturated fat, and has roughly half the fat of 2 percent milk. There is no cholesterol in it and it is naturally high in calcium. Almond milk has 15 percent more of your daily calcium requirements compared to 1 percent milk. Homemade almond milk is an acceptable milk substitute for those who are following raw food diets.

Compasses are simple tools used to draw perfect circles. The diameter of the circle of the circle you draw will be the longest diagonal of the octagon - in other words, the distance from one point on the octagon to the point directly across from it. So, a larger circle will produce a larger octagon, and vice versa. Use a compass to draw your circle, and, after doing so, draw two lines that stretch across the diameter of the circle and meet in the center at perpendicular angles. Keeping the point of the compass on the same point, draw a circle with a slightly larger radius setting. For instance, if you originally set the radius to 2 inches (5.08 cm), you might add half an inch (1.27 cm) and draw another circle. For the rest of this process, keep your compass set to this new, slightly larger setting. Place the point of the compass on one of the intersections between the inner circle and its diameter. Use the compass to draw an arc near the center of the circle. You don't need to draw an entire circle - just an arc that stretches from one side of the circle to the other. Place the point of the compass on the intersection between the inner circle and its diameter line opposite the point you just used and draw another arc across the center of the circle. You should be left with an "eye" shape in the middle of the circle. Use a ruler or a straightedge to make these lines. The lines must be long enough to intersect the circle in two points and should be perpendicular to the diameter line they pass through. Next, repeat the previous steps for the other diameter line that forms the central cross. In other words, place the point of the compass at the intersection points between this line and the circle and draw arcs stretching across the center of the circle as before. When this is done, you should have two intersecting "eye" shapes. As before, you'll now want to draw two straight lines through the corners of your new eye shape. The lines should be long enough to intersect the circle and should be perpendicular to the...

Competition has its place in life, but your marriage is not one of them.  Beyond playful competition, if you find yourself or your spouse trying to turn everything into a contest, work to stop this behavior.  Discussions and arguments should aim to solve problems, not win them.  Often times, being insecure can cause this overly competitive attitude.  Work on improving self esteem to avoid competitive behavior based in insecurity. The winner in any marriage should be both partners, not one or the other. Support your spouse instead of competing against her. Although it may be difficult at times, keeping a positive outlook can help any relationship.  Find things you love about your partner and focus on those aspects.  Don't be afraid to show or tell partner the things you appreciate.  Keeping your focus on the good can help increase not only your mood and outlook, but the mood of the marriage as well.  Do things for your spouse that you know will make her happy.  Don't expect anything as “payment”, simply enjoy doing something nice for her. Doing something generous can actually make you start to feel more generous and loving. Keeping positive over a period of time will help show your partner that your actions are genuine and stable. Dwelling on negative issues will only increase your own negative feelings and responses.  Although it may seem like you are doing something useful by holding onto negative  aspects of your partner, you are likely making things worse.  Drop any negative thoughts you may have been holding and avoid dwelling on them any further.  Anger, resentment, and blame will only cause more anger, resentment and blame.

Complementary colors work well together, such as a red shade and a brown shade. Avoid mixing together contrasting or opposite shades, such as blonde and black.  You only need to mix colors if you want a particular shade that isn't available or just enjoy creating a custom color. If you want an easier option, you can look for a pre-mixed shade, such as a red-brown, a brown-red, or a blue-black. Contrasting shades will be too dominant to work well together, while similar shades can complement each other nicely. The 2 colors need to be from the same brand. This will ensure that the colors combine well, as the formulas will be similar. It will also ensure that the same ratio of dye to developer is required. Colors that you are mixing together need to have the same developing time to work effectively. Check the instructions on the back of the box to make sure that the time required for each is the same. When you are picking colors to mix together, keep an eye on the number that is with the color formula. The higher the number, the more that it will be able to lighten your hair. Try to keep the 2 colors within the same 2-3 shades. For example, one shade that's slightly darker and one that's slightly lighter than your natural color works well. Make sure that you use the exact same amount of each shade. This will ensure that the color is uniform throughout your hair.  Using a 1:1 ratio of the 2 colors also means that you can easily replicate the color later if needed, such as if you want to dye your roots at a later stage. If you want to mix your dyes in a different ratio, write down the formula you create so that it's easy to replicate. This will be especially helpful when you want to touch up your roots! Use a small set of scales to weigh out the shades if you aren't using a full unit. Mix together the 2 different hair dyes that you have already combined, and then add the developer.

Complete the last row of knitting for your scarf before you begin binding off. Then, turn your work around to begin a new row. Switch the needle with all of the stitches on it into your left hand and hold the empty needle with your right hand. the first 2 stitches. Knit the first 2 stitches of your new row as you normally would. Do not knit more than 2 stitches. Use your left needle to lift the first stitch on your right needle up and over the second stitch on the right hand needle. Allow the first stitch to slip off of the end of the right hand needle. Only knit 1 new stitch. Take your left hand needle again and use it to lift the first stitch on your needle up and over the second stitch. Then, let the stitch you lifted up and over slide off of the end of the right hand needle. Continue to repeat the process of knitting 1 stitch and lifting a stitch up and over the new stitch all the way to the end of the row. You will notice that your finished scarf edge will continue to get longer as you bind off the stitches. When you have worked all of the stitches on your left hand needle and have only 1 stitch left on your right hand needle, pull the yarn on this stitch to lengthen the loop. Cut the loop in the center so that you have a long strand leftover. Then, tug on this strand to tighten it and finish the bind off. Make sure to leave the strand about 8 inches (20 cm) or longer to ensure that you will be able to weave it into the edges.

Completely coat the polyurethane with paint stripper. It needs to look wet with the paint stripper, so be generous with your application. Use an old paintbrush or even a paint roller. Be sure to get into any nooks and crannies. The type of paint brush isn't important, but you may want to get one you'd be willing to throw away afterwards. The paint stripper is going to do the work for you, so you need to let it soak into the polyurethane. Ten minutes is usually enough for a chemical-based paint stripper. You'll know it's ready when the polyurethane starts wrinkling and bubbling. If you're using a water-based stripper, it will take much longer to work, maybe even six to twenty-four hours. Check the back of the can to find out how long it should take. If you need to leave the project for longer than it says on the back of the can, then you should try to cover the project to keep the paint stripper wet. The stripper needs to be wet to soak in properly. Another plastic tarp should be sufficient, and you can place it lightly over the furniture or flooring.

Completing Operations in CoD Ghosts is a good way of gaining fast XP in no time. Some Operations are so easy to complete such as running 5 miles (8.0 km) while in marathon. How hard can that be?  Make sure you have the right weapon or perk to complete your current available Operations. Switch around weapons early in the game for you to gain weapon related XP from Operations. The lower the level of the weapon, the easier it is to complete its startup Operations. Field Orders are available on almost all of the online modes. Most players seem to ignore these blue suitcases but they don’t realize that completing these Field Orders rewards players a handsome amount of XP. Sometimes COD Ghosts announce double XP weekends and that’s when online matches really go haywire! Imagine playing Cranked (which gives you double XP by default) during double XP weekend.

Complex fractions aren't necessarily difficult to solve. In fact, complex fractions in which the numerator and denominator both contain a single fraction are usually fairly easy to solve. So, if the numerator or denominator of your complex fraction (or both) contain multiple fractions or fractions and whole numbers, simplify as needed to obtain a single fraction in both the numerator and denominator. This may require finding the least common denominator (LCM) of two or more fractions. For example, let's say we want to simplify the complex fraction (3/5 + 2/15)/(5/7 - 3/10). First, we would simplify both the numerator and denominator of our complex fraction to single fractions.  To simplify the numerator, we will use a LCM of 15 by multiplying 3/5 by 3/3. Our numerator becomes 9/15 + 2/15, which equals 11/15. To simplify the denominator, we will use a LCM of 70 by multiplying 5/7 by 10/10 and 3/10 by 7/7. Our denominator becomes 50/70 - 21/70, which equals 29/70. Thus, our new complex fraction is (11/15)/(29/70). By definition, dividing one number by another is the same as multiplying the first number by the inverse of the second. Now that we have obtained a complex fraction with a single fraction in both the numerator and the denominator, we can use this property of division to simplify our complex fraction! First, find the inverse of the fraction on the bottom of the complex fraction. Do this by "flipping" the fraction - setting its numerator in the place of the denominator and vice versa. In our example, the fraction in the denominator of the complex fraction (11/15)/(29/70) is 29/70. To find its inverse, we simply "flip" it to get 70/29. Note that, if your complex fraction has a whole number in its denominator, you can treat it as a fraction and find its inverse all the same. For instance, if our complex fraction was (11/15)/(29), we can define the denominator as 29/1, which makes its inverse 1/29. Now that you've obtained the inverse of your complex fraction's denominator, multiply it by the numerator to...

Compliment celebrities on tv or strangers within your line of sight. Your girlfriend may become jealous because she may automatically compare herself to that person. Celebrities are an especially easy target as the media is obsessed with body image and managing persona. While it is perfectly acceptable to interact with any gender, your girlfriend may become jealous if your interactions play on her insecurities. Only you will know what is appropriate and what will make her jealous. Some women don’t mind if playfully touching and joking with a waitress while your girlfriend may become jealous if you smile at your server the wrong way. Invite a mutual female friend with you to an activity that normally only you and your girlfriend do together. Be cautious not to make this an obvious wedge but rather a harmless afterthought. Say something like, “I invited Julia hiking tomorrow. She said she hasn’t been to Eagle’s Canyon so I told her we’d pick her up if she wanted to join us.” This shows that you have been paying attention to other women without being immature or obvious.

Compliments let the other person know that you've noticed his or her best qualities. Plus, a compliment will make the person feel good, and he or she will associate those good feelings with you. Don't just limit yourself to compliments about the person's appearance. For instance, maybe you've noticed how smart she is or that he's a sharp dresser. Just make sure your compliment is sincere and tailored to the person you're addressing. For instance, you could say, "You always seem to have the right answer in math class. You are so smart!" You can use an upcoming event as an excuse. Maybe someone's having a party or your school is throwing a big dance. Consider asking your crush if you can go together. You could say, "Hey, did you see that dance the school's having? It may be dumb, but I kind of want to go. Do you want to go with me?" If you're too embarrassed to ask the person outright, try implying that you want to hang out. For instance, you could say that you really want to go see a new movie, which kind of encourages the other person to say he or she would like to see it, too. Then you can suggest you see it together. Tell the person that you like him or her. While it can be difficult to do, it's the best way to gauge the person's feelings. In fact, it's the easiest way to move the relationship forward.  For instance, you could say, "We've been hanging out for a while, and I really enjoy being with you. I think I'm starting to like you as more than a friend. What are your thoughts on that?" Be ready for rejection. That is, your friend may say that she doesn't see you that way. She has a right to her feelings. Oftentimes, you can continue on with your friendship. Other times, it may become too awkward. Still, it's important to ask if you want the person to be your boyfriend or girlfriend. Everyone gets a little embarrassed when it comes to love and crushes. It's okay to feel a bit shy when you're asking someone to hang out with you or be your boyfriend or girlfriend.

Components like lights, windshield wipers, radios, etc. draw power from the battery to run.  If you want your battery to charge effectively, they will need to be turned off. . In order to jumpstart your vehicle you will need another vehicle that has a good battery to give you a boost. Usually parking the cars facing each other will get the batteries closes, but sometimes it's better to park them side by side.  Either way, be sure that the cars are not touching. You will need these to connect the dead battery to the good battery. Current will flow between them, allowing your engine to start and charge your dead battery.  If you have a choice, longer cables can be easier to connect but transfer energy less effectively than short cables.  Also, a lower gauge cable (thicker) will transfer energy faster. The batteries will be located in a different place depending on the make and model of the vehicles. Most batteries will be found either under the hood and or in the trunk of your vehicle.  Sometimes the battery is not easily accessible.  If this is the case you most likely have a charging post under the hood that is connected to the battery.

Concealer comes in a variety of shapes and colors, so analyze your skin first to determine what you need. Are you trying to cover up acne? Under eye circles? Scars or birthmarks? Once you determine what you want to conceal, you can choose the appropriate color and shade. Use the color wheel to help you figure out which color corrector to use.  Match the opposite color on the color wheel to cancel it out.  Green tinted concealer is used to reduce redness. Yellow tinted concealer will brighten your face. Lavender concealer can help even out complexions with yellow tones. Orange or red-tinted concealer is used to cover purple or dark spots. For scars or under eye circles, use a concealer 1-2 shades lighter than your natural skin tone. Determine whether your skin tone is warm or cool before picking a shade. Be careful not to get too light of a shade, or your complexion might look ashy. Test skin tone concealer on your face, not on your hands, in order to get a true color match. Make sure that you test your concealer without any other makeup on first. Concealers come in many different forms. There are sticks, potted creams, and pencils. These all offer different types of coverage, and some may be better for certain skin types than others.  If you have large pores and oily skin, you may want to avoid cream or stick concealers, as they may make your pores look bigger. Look for a liquid concealer instead.  Use a pencil concealer for acne, as the pointed edge makes it easier to apply around the acne spots. Thicker, cream concealers are also effective as they can be molded and blended over the blemish.

Concealer is a base foundation that can offset the color of a dark circle under your eye. Choose a color of concealer that has opposite tones of color from the tones that are in your dark circles. Use a color wheel to determine what colors are the opposite of the ones you want to conceal. For example, if your dark circles have yellow tones, use a concealer with a purple tone. This will help neutralize the dark color under your eyes. Alternately, you can choose a concealer that is one skin tone lighter than your own skin tone. Gently dab the concealer under your eyes and tap at it with your finger, blending it across the skin under your eyes to make sure it is not noticeable. If you aren't able to buy concealer you can make your own by mixing equal parts of lotion and a powder that suits your skin colour then apply it. If your eyelashes are short or you would like an especially dramatic look, attach fake eyelashes. Also known as “falsies,” these are available in various lengths, colors and textures, and can transform your eyes into something spectacular. Try different types to see how they look with your eyes.

Conditional statements are what drive most programs. They are statements that are determined to be either TRUE or FALSE, and then acted upon based on the result. The most basic of the statements is the if statement.       TRUE and FALSE work differently in C than what you might be used to. TRUE statements always end up equaling a nonzero number. When you perform comparisons, if the result is TRUE then a "1" is returned. If the result is FALSE, then a "0" is returned. Understanding this will help you see how IF statements are processed. Conditional statements revolve around the use of mathematical operators that compare values. The following list contains the most commonly used conditional operators.   >   /* greater than */ <   /* less than */ >=  /* greater than or equal to */ <=  /* less than or equal to */ ==  /* equal to */ !=  /* not equal to */     10 > 5 TRUE 6 < 15 TRUE 8 >= 8 TRUE 4 <= 8 TRUE 3 == 3 TRUE 4 != 5 TRUE You can use IF statements to determine what the program should do next after the statement is evaluated. You can combine it with other conditional statements later to create powerful multiple options, but for now write a simple one to get used to them.   #include <stdio.h>  int main() {   if ( 3 < 5 )     printf( "3 is less than 5");     getchar(); } You can build upon IF statements by using ELSE and ELSE IF statements to handle different results. ELSE statements run if the IF statement is FALSE. ELSE IF statements allow you to include multiple IF statements into one code block to handle various cases. See the example program below to see how they interact.   #include <stdio.h>  int main() {   int age;    printf( "Please enter your current age: " );   scanf( "%d", &age );   if ( age <= 12 ) {     printf( "You're just a kid!\n" );   }   else if ( age < 20 ) {     printf( "Being a teenager is pretty great!\n" );   }   else if ( age < 40 ) {     printf( "You're still young at heart!\n" );   }   else {     printf( "With age comes wisdom.\n" );   }   return 0; }    The program takes the input...

Conditioner replaces the lipids and proteins inside the hair shaft, which makes your hair healthier. The healthier your hair is, the faster it will grow. When you shower, apply a generous amount of conditioner to your hair from root to tip. Leave the conditioner on your hair for about 1-5 minutes, then rinse it out completely with cool water.  When your hair is healthy, it will grow quickly and beautifully. Conditioner also seals the cuticle, preventing damage in the future. If you prevent hair damage, your hair will grow longer by default. Avoid skipping the conditioner when you wash your hair. Natural oil treatments replenish the hair follicle and root, which encourages your hair to grow faster. Dampen your hair with your faucet or a spray bottle, and apply a generous amount of oil over all of your hair. Let the oil soak on your head for 10 minutes, and then shampoo and condition your hair as normal.  Your hair will start to grow quicker after a few weeks of use. You can purchase oil-based hair treatments, or you can make your own. To make your own, mix together 1  c (240 mL) of unrefined coconut oil, and 1 US tbsp (15 mL) each of almond, macadamia, and jojoba oil. Stir the oils together, and apply a generous amount over all of your hair. Include lots of protein, zinc, and vitamin A, C, and D. In addition to a daily healthy diet, eat foods rich in vitamins that promote hair growth. Salmon is rich in vitamin D and protein, eggs contain biotin and omega-3, and avocados have a high concentration of essential fatty acids. All of these help promote hair and skin health. Include these foods in your meals as often as you can, and you may notice your hair grow faster. Healthy hair starts with a healthy diet and staying well-hydrated.  In addition, eat lots of sunflowers, almonds, yellow peppers, and sweet potatoes. Sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E, and almonds have a high biotin and protein content. Yellow peppers are rich in vitamin C, and sweet potatoes help retain vitamin A. Dark leafy greens like spinach...

Condoms are a thin sheath of latex (male) or plastic (female) that are either put on the penis or inserted into the vagina immediately before sexual intercourse. You don’t need to see a doctor to use this method and can start using it right away.  You can purchase male and female condoms over the counter at most drug stores and some grocery stores. It’s important to make sure that you or your partner use the condom properly. This will help ensure that you don’t get pregnant or transmit any STDs.  Condoms are the only type of birth control that come with the benefit of helping to prevent STDs if used properly. Spermicide and sponges are barrier methods that are inserted into the vagina up to 30 minutes before sex and left in place for 6-8 hours after sex. Like condoms, you don’t need to see a doctor to use spermicide and can start using it right away.  You can purchase spermicide and sponges at most drug stores and grocery stores, and it is not very expensive.  Spermicide comes in different delivery methods such as foams, creams, jellies, thin films, and suppositories that melt when inserted into the vagina.  Sponges are doughnut shaped devices coated with spermicide. You insert a sponge yourself and it covers the cervix. Diaphragms and cervical caps are barrier methods made of latex, silicone, or plastic. Both are used with spermicides and require a prescription from your doctor.  Diaphragms are small dome-shaped devices that are inserted into the vagina to cover the cervix. They are made of latex or silicone and you must use it with a spermicide.  Cervical caps are also small dome-shaped devices that tightly cover the cervix using suction. They are made of plastic and you must use it with a spermicide.  Make an appointment with your doctor if you decide to get a diaphragm or cervical cap. She will fit you for a diaphragm and give you a prescription.  To start using this method, have the prescription filled. Insert your diaphragm or cervical cap 2-6 hours before sex and reapply spermicide each time you have...

Confessing a crush on a friend often alters the relationship. Be honest with yourself. How will you feel if your friend feels really awkward or freaked out? Is that something you’re ready to deal with? Understand that you may lose this friendship by confessing your crush. However, that can sometimes be less painful than keeping your feelings bottled up. Start with subtle signals and see if you get a response. This is a great way to let your feelings show without being too vulnerable at first. If your friend notices the messages you’re sending, she’ll likely start considering that you may have a crush on her. She’ll likely be at least flattered.  Eye contact is a great flirting tool. When the two of you make eye contact, hold it just a second too long and then look away. This is often read as a sign of romantic interest. Initiate casual touch. It’s best to touch someone in a way that still seems friendly—not romantic. You can touch her on the arm or shoulder when you ask her how she’s doing. Or give her a hug before you part ways. If she begins to initiate touch too, that could indicate interest. Be thoughtful when planning this. Consider that your friend might feel awkward when you tell her. She might not know how to respond. Choose a time and place where you can be alone and have time to fully discuss both of your feelings without distractions.  Invite her to go for a walk. Choose a place that you can both feel comfortable and enjoy. Invite her over to your house—as long as it’s easy enough for her to leave, should the conversation become uncomfortable. Don’t dance around your feelings, but stay collected. She doesn’t need to know how many times you’ve looked at her Instagram, or how long you’ve been pining for her. Simply let her know that you’re interested.  Rather than telling her exactly how you feel, you could simply ask her out on a date. Be clear that it’s a date, though. If you usually say, “let’s hang out next week,” be more explicit. Say, “I’d really like to take you on a date. Would you be open to...

Confidence is attractive, and you probably won't have much luck if you desperately beg or plead. Instead, get in touch with her when you’re feeling good about yourself and your place in life.  Additionally, if your ex is going to give any consideration to working it out, she needs to know that you’re serious about fixing things. You need to show her that you’re holding yourself accountable for your end of the breakup, and that takes time. For instance, if you broke up because she thought you were irresponsible, try to win her back after you can show that you’re working on your shortcomings. You might have gotten a better job, paid off some debt, or started keeping your house cleaner. While you can call or text to let her know you’d like to meet, you should wait to express your feelings until you can meet face-to-face. A casual, relaxed setting can help put you both at ease, so meet up at a coffee shop, grab a tea, or take a stroll around a quiet park.  Try to be friendly, casual, and lighthearted when you ask her to meet. You could say, “Hey, I hope all is well! You’ve been on my mind lately, and I was hoping we could talk. I understand if your first response is to say ‘No way,’ but I’d really appreciate it if we could grab a coffee and chat.” If you’re old enough to drink alcohol, avoid meeting for cocktails. You might feel like alcohol will help you calm down, but it's best to stay sharp and focused. If she doesn’t want to meet, accept that you can’t force her to do something she doesn’t want to do. Respect her choice, and try to move forward. when you see her. You want her to find you attractive, so show up well-groomed and well-dressed.

Confidence is key to being sexy. Even if your boyfriend already knows you well, having confidence will allow you to express yourself in exciting ways. If confidence is something you feel you struggle with, you should put some time aside to work on this part of yourself. Take control of your thoughts, and don't let any negative feelings get in the way of being self-assured. Making a list of things you like about yourself can be a great help. If you're on the shy side, it can be difficult to overcome the feelings of insecurity that go along with social anxiety. Don't let yourself get too worked up over anything. Remember that you're worth being thought of as hot. If you're able to get outside your head and focus purely on your surroundings, your brain won't have the chance to trip you up. If the two of you have already been in a relationship for some time, it's quite possible that flirting has stopped being a regular part of your interactions. Reintroducing some of this playful teasing into the mix can do wonders for the relationship. Light touching on the waist, hands or shoulder can go far. Smiling at and complimenting him will show a revitalized interest. Teasing has its place even in long-term relationships. If he has a cute eccentricity, make a light jab at it. Just make sure he's not insecure about whatever you're poking fun at. If you're planning on meeting up later in the day or evening, it's a good idea to get him excited to see him by texting him. You can text him something suggestive or simply sweet. Something as simple as "I'm missing you a ton right now" will make sure he's thinking of you at that very moment. Every guy likes to be complimented, and a text message is an easy way to tell your boyfriend how you feel. Emoticons like the 'wink face' can do a lot to suggest emotion if the two of you are far apart. Boyfriends are used to being the ones who make the date plans.
