Problem: Article: These products are especially helpful for removing tough carpet adhesive (which have replaced tack strips in recent years). You can find a product like this at any hardware store. Commercial adhesive removers are very strong. It is important for you to put on rubber gloves to protect your hands from any chemicals. You should also wear protective eyewear and a mask. It's a good idea to test the adhesive remover first to see if it works well. Choose a small area, like a closet, to see if the adhesive remover works well or if it has a negative reaction, such as staining your wood. Begin with just a small amount of adhesive remover (this product is very powerful), following the instructions listed on the package. Then, using your sponge, apply the adhesive remover to the adhesive on your floor. Leave the adhesive remover on long enough to loosen the adhesive (approximately five minutes, or according to the manufacturer's instructions). Once again, work carefully with the scraper, using soft motions and taking care not to gouge your hardwood floor.
Summary: Purchase a commercial glue/adhesive remover. Wear gloves, protective eyewear, and a mask. Test the adhesive remover. Pour a small amount of adhesive remover onto a damp sponge. Give it some time. Use a scraper to remove any residue.

Problem: Article: Put a cocktail shaker and 2 coupe glasses into the freezer to chill completely. Freeze them for at least 15 minutes or leave them to chill for several hours. If you don't have coupe glasses, you could use martini glasses. Pour 4 ounces (120 ml) of rye or bourbon into a cocktail shaker along with 1 1/2 ounces (45 ml) of Grand Marnier or orange curacao, 4 dashes of absinthe or pastis, and 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of grenadine. If you want a more tart flavor, add 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of lemon juice. Crack an egg and separate the white from the yolk. Add the white to the shaker with the liquid ingredients. Discard the egg yolk or save it for another recipe. The egg white in the cocktail will make the drink foamy. Put the lid securely on the cocktail shaker and briskly shake the cocktail for 15 seconds. The liquid ingredients should completely combine. Take the lid off of the cocktail shaker and add enough ice to fill the shaker 2/3 full. Put the lid back on and shake it briskly for 30 seconds. The cocktail will become cold and foamy once you've shaken it enough. If you've properly shaken the millionaire martini, the cocktail should be smooth and foamy. But if you find that the egg white curdled a little, pour the cocktail through a tea or fine mesh strainer into a small pitcher. Discard any of the curdled bits. Remove the chilled coupe glasses from the freezer and pour the cocktail through a cocktail strainer to catch the ice. Divide the cocktails evenly between the 2 glasses and serve them immediately.
Summary: Chill a cocktail shaker and 2 coupe glasses for at least 15 minutes. Measure the liquid ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Add 1 egg white to the cocktail shaker. Shake the cocktail for 15 seconds. Add ice and shake the cocktail for 30 seconds. Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer, if necessary. Pour the millionaire martini cocktails into the coupe glasses.

Problem: Article: Keep your cheek color light. Consider a pink blush if you have fair skin. Choose a peach blush if your skin is medium tone. Try a plum shade if you have darker toned skin. Apply dark, shimmering metallic shades to make your eyes stand out. Avoid light silvers or grays, even if you opted for all-silver accessories. If you want to keep the all-silver look, opt for medium to darker shades of gray. Go with either dark bronzes or coal grays if you accessorized with silver and gold accessories. Try adding some variety into your look with a color eye shadow. Stick with blue tones. Think dark blues, eggplant violets, and deep turquoises. You may add liquid glitter liner over the black liner to give your eyes a bit more sparkle. Instead, use violet-red colors like mauve or pink tones.
Summary: Apply a foundation that matches your natural skin tone. Layer on a bronze-tinted blush, but don't overdo it. Don't hold back on your eyeshadow color. Apply black eyeliner to your eyes. Finish your eyes with black mascara, if desired. Stay away from bright red lipsticks.

Problem: Article: Sometimes losing the worst people hurts you the most. You had good times, though. They were cool, fun, and funny when you were friends. Losing them, no matter how bad things got, is going to feel like ripping off a bandage. It hurts, and it stings in the open air, but it's for the best. Your friend might not take it well. One or both of you might end up crying, begging, or flying off in rage. But whatever the current emotions, they do not erase the reasons you had for ending things. You're going to feel guilty, end of story. Just remember that, no matter how broken your relationship may have been, it's normal to feel responsible for the death of a good thing. It will pass with time. It isn't doing you or anyone else any favors. Chances are good that your friend will be angry enough for the both of you. Hurt feelings morph quickly into anger, and anger leads to doing things you'd probably rather not do. If you feel tempers rising on either side, take a step back and get out of there shortly. Like cookies on a hot tray, you'll both cool off faster when you're separated. If your former friend tends to become aggressive when confronted, you should expect verbal or even physical backlash. End things in public, and bring a friend or write a letter if you're really worried. You're going to be angry for a while if your friend hurt you. It's normal. But don't let your anger pull you to the dark side, young padawan. Once you let the friendship go, let the emotions go as well. More likely than not, it's impossible to completely break it off, especially if you still have to see the person at school or work. Passive aggression, the great weapon of slighted friends the world over, can only hurt you if you let it. Get mentally ready to deal with some mind games in the months after you cut things off. The best defense is completely ignoring the attack. If your former friend is passive-aggressive, expect back-stabbing behavior after you break off the friendship. Try and remember that it is, in the end, kind of your fault for ending things and that you shouldn't strike back. You already ended the relationship. Don't make things worse by trying to sabotage or hurt them after you've already ended it. It's nothing personal. It is just hard for people to be friends with two people who are no longer friends for each other. People will naturally gravitate toward either you or your friend because playing both sides puts them in the middle of the war they want none of. Note, however, that this is by far the most melodramatic outcome. More often than not your social group will shift a bit and move on. and stop harping on the old. Meeting new people will signal to your former friend that you have a life outside of him or her. It will also help you feel better about the friendship's end since you'll have great new people in your life. Some fresh ideas will do you good - as long as you're on the lookout for behavior similar to the friend you had to leave.
Summary:
Brace yourself for the sadness of a lost friendship. Contain your anger. Prepare your defenses for incoming passive-aggression. Accept the friends who don't take your side. Meet some new people
