If you prepare several appetizers for you and your guests to munch on as you finish cooking, no one will have room for the main course! To prevent this, go with a couple snacks as a warm-up for what's to come. If you are serving 2-4 people, 1-2 appetizers are plenty. If you have more than 4 guests, consider a third option if you'd like. Grab a serving platter and place slices of cheese on top to make your display. Include options such as American, Swiss, pepper jack, brie, and bleu cheese, for instance. Then, spread 2-4 types of crackers across the tray as well. On average, serve 2-4 tbsp (30-60 g) of cheese per person. For example, great cheese and cracker pairings include extra sharp cheddar and club crackers, brie and crostini, and gouda and multigrain. Mix together 1/2 cup (118 mL) of fat-free sour cream, 1/4 tsp (1 g) of ground black pepper, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 3/4 cup (414 g) of artichoke hearts, 1 1/4 cup (296 g) of spinach, and 1 cup (237 g) of cream cheese. When these ingredients are well blended, add in 1 cup (237 g) of mozzarella and 2 tbsp (30 g) of Parmesan. Scoop the mixture into a baking pan, and cook it for 30 minutes at 350F (177C). Serve the dip with crackers, sliced bread, or pita chips. Mix together 2 1/2 cups (592 g) of minced Roma tomatoes, 2 tbsp (30 g) of minced garlic, 1/3 cup (79 g) of chopped fresh basil, 2 tbsp (30 g) of balsamic vinegar, 3 tbsp (45 g) of extra-virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup (59 g) of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp (5 g) of salt, and 1 tsp (5 g) of pepper. Let the bowl sit for 15 minutes so the flavors can combine. To serve the bruschetta, slice a baguette into 1 inch (2.5cm) thick pieces and place 1 spoonful of bruschetta onto each slice of bread. Place the eggs in a single layer inside your pot, and cover them with 3 inches (7.6cm) of water. Select a medium-high heat, and bring the water to a boil. When the water boils, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit for 15 minutes, drain the water, and let them cool. Then, crack the shells and peel the eggs while holding them under running water. Next, slice each egg in half horizontally and take out the yellow yolks. To make your filling, mash the yolk with 2 tbsp (30 g) of mayonnaise, and mix in 1 1/2 tbsp (22 g) of sweet pickle relish, 1 tsp (5 g) of mustard, and a dash of salt and pepper. When these ingredients are mixed into a creamy paste, fill each half with 1 spoonful. You can sprinkle paprika onto the eggs for a garnish if you'd like. Place the sliced eggs on a serving tray and pass them out to your guests with cocktail napkins.

Summary: Pick 1-3 appetizer options so you don't stuff your guests before dinner. Set up a cheese and cracker tray for a simple yet scrumptious snack. Make spinach and artichoke dip for a warm, creamy first course. Serve bruschetta with a baguette for an easy, light option. Prepare deviled eggs for a quick but exquisite dish.

The pigments in the paint separate over time so you will need to shake the can vigorously to re-combine them. If you have already shaken and used the can within the last 12 hours you will only need to shake the can for 1 minute. Hold the can about 25 centimetres (9.8in) away from the card and spray the paint. Check the card to make sure that the paint has sprayed evenly. If it is patchy, shake the can for a few more minutes. A test spray will give you the chance to experiment with how much pressure you need to put on the spray button. Hold the can so that is parallel to the car's surface and about 25 centimetres (9.8in) away from the car. Push down the spray button and spray the paint over the car using even, back and forth strokes. Take care to keep the can parallel to the car as you move your arm across the area. Continue spraying until the area has a light even coat. Try to move the can at a consistent speed. Move your arm across the area at a consistent speed to achieve an even coat. Applying multiple coats of paints will give an even surface to the car. Wait 10 minutes before applying the next coat. The paint should still be slightly sticky, this helps the next coat to stick and blend into the previous coat. If the surface still looks patchy after 2 coats, apply another coat after 10 minutes. Wait 30 minutes for the paint to dry before applying the clear paint. Push the spray button and move the can along the area in a smooth motion over the surface you have already painted. This will help to protect the paint from the UV rays in the sun. Leave this coat to dry for 24 hours before using the car.

Summary: Shake the paint can for at least 3 minutes. Test the paint on a spare piece of cardboard. Spray the paint onto the car, using horizontal strokes. Apply at least 2 coats of paint, with a 10-minute break between coats. Spray a coat of clear paint over the area using a horizontal motion.

Lip balm nourishes your lips so they're less likely to get dry and flaky. Additionally, lip balm can smooth out your lips by filling in uneven spots. Swipe the lip balm over your upper lip from your Cupid's bow to the corner of your lips on each side. Then, apply the lip balm to your bottom lip from the center out to the corners. The lip balm should soak in soon after you apply it. If your lips feel gunky, gently wipe off the excess lip balm with a tissue before you apply your lipstick. Check your lips to see if the color looks even. If you have patchy spots, swipe a clean finger over the tip of the lipstick, then dab the color onto the patchy area. Repeat as needed to fill in your lips. It's generally best to not apply more than 1 coat over your lips because the lipstick can look cakey and could crease. Instead, slowly build up color by dabbing on extra lipstick with your finger as needed. Fold a clean tissue in half, then hold it between your lips with the fold facing your mouth. Press your lips together around the tissue and release. Blotting your lipstick may help prevent your lipstick from getting on your teeth. Plus, it may help set your lipstick.
Summary: Apply a thin layer of lip balm to moisturize and even out your lips. Use your finger to fill in patchy areas with a second layer. Blot the inside of your lips with a tissue to remove excess.
