Q: Unless the toy has batteries or instructions specify that they are not dishwasher safe, running small plastic toys through the dishwasher will remove dirt and disinfect them. Place on the top rack of the dishwasher. Afterward, allow the toys to air dry on a dish rack. Check the tag to verify that the toy is dishwasher safe. If you can't find any information, you can assume that it is dishwasher safe. Most small plastic toys without batteries are dishwasher safe. If the toy is a bath toy, like a rubber duck, be sure to empty it of dirty bathwater prior to placing it in the dishwasher. Small plastic toys can also be hand washed in the same way that metal, electronic and large plastic toys are. However, using the dishwasher is easier and generally more consistent. Put the toys through an extra rinse cycle to ensure that all of the soap is washed away. Toys that cannot go in the dishwasher should be washed by hand. Apply warm soapy water to a rag or sponge and rub the toys down. Be careful to remove all visible stains and dirt. If the toys are very greasy or grimy, add vinegar and baking soda to the water. When hand washing toys with batteries, make sure to remove the batteries prior to washing them. Do not submerge them in water or wash the inside of the toy. Scrub the outside with your soapy sponge. Rinse the toys well before you finish washing them. To pick up very tough dirt and grime on toys, make a solution with baking soda and vinegar and apply it to a towel. Mix 1 2/3 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup liquid soap,1/2 cup water, and two tablespoons of white vinegar. Mix until all clumps have dissolved. It's important to disinfect baby toys when you clean them. Mix a tablespoon of bleach in a quart of water and use it to rub down the toys with a rag. Be sure that all dirt and grime has been removed before you sanitize the toy; germs can hide under the dirt. The bleach solution must remain on the toy for at least 2 minutes in order for it to be disinfected. It's very important that you dilute bleach. Bleach is only non-toxic to children when properly diluted. Give the toys approximately 24 hours to dry. After there is no noticeable moisture on it, you can return it to your child.

Article: To start, wash your hair and towel dry it until it's just damp. Then, take a styling product that helps hold your hair in place. This can be mousse, gel, or hair spray. Choose whichever product tends to work best for your hair. Because the hair is damp, this method often lasts longer than other methods do. As the hair dries, it will settle into waves. Take a vertical section of your hair just in front of your ear. Curl the hair around your finger into a tight coil. Start at the tip of your locks and wind your hair up until it's secured on the base of your scalp. Use bobby pins or single prong hair clips to pin your hair in place. Thicker hair may require more bobby pins. You can also use hair ties or hair curlers to hold your coil in place. Move behind the first section of hair you curled. Repeat the process to curl another lock and then secure it with clips, pins, or ties. Keep curling locks in this fashion until all your hair is curled into tight coils. As beach waves are a more casual look, it doesn't matter if your sections are perfectly uniform. In fact, sections of slightly different sizes may help with the beach look. Leave your coils in place until your hair is completely dry. Times will vary depending on the thickness of your hair. Do not remove the clips until all your strands of hair are dry to the touch. You can let your hair air dry, but this will take several hours. You can always sleep with the pinned coils overnight to wake up with beautiful beach waves. If you have a hooded hair dryer, sit under it with your hair still pinned until your hair is completely dry. Once your hair is dry, unclip your hair. Use your fingers to comb out the waves slightly to remove any tangles or frizz. You should be left with a fun, casual beach wave look.

Q: Perhaps you spilled coffee all over your customers or your boss told you that you have to work weekends for a while. When times on the job get rough, use your breaks to get away for a bit. Instead of having lunch in the office, go off site. Take a walk around the block when you have five or ten minutes to yourself. When life gets overwhelming, don't keep your feelings inside. Take a notepad and write down all the issues you're having. Getting it out can help you process the problem and figure out what steps to take to fix it. For instance, you might write down that your coworker got an attitude with you as soon as you came to the office. You might add that you had to work outdoors and it rained all day. Journaling your problems is even more effective if you look back on it later when you are less stressed and try to come up with possible solutions. Identify someone, whether a family member or a friend, and call them up to vent. Get advice if you'd like or just use this time to express your frustrations. You might call up your spouse and say "Hey honey, do you have a minute? I wanna talk about something that bothered me at work and I want to see what you think about it." Music is a temporary distraction from the negativity that might surround you. If you have your own office, shut the door and listen to a few songs to lift your mood. If you don't have your own space, use headphones. If you can't listen to music at work, take a restroom break and listen to a song. Instead of continuing to be down in the dumps, find a way to smile. Funny YouTube videos can be a great distraction to a bad work day. Revisit some of your old favorite videos or look for funny memes. Try to limit your time watching videos to ten minutes or less. Though laughter can be helpful, sometimes you just need a good cry. When you feel the tears coming, step away as quickly as you can to the nearest restroom. Take a few moments to cry and then pull yourself together. Blow your nose and splash your face with cool water to get rid of your puffy eyes and red face. If you're able, you might consider going to your car for a small break. Perhaps your boss was not pleased with your latest project or you received a less than stellar end of year review. Rather than sulking, identify some quick tasks that you can complete. This will boost your confidence and get you motivated to continue working despite the bad news. You might do something like respond to emails, clean your desk, or check your voicemails. Build some momentum with these tasks to help yourself continue throughout the day.
A:
Use your break to get away from the office. Jot down your problems. Vent to someone you trust. Listen to music to boost your mood. Watch funny videos to make you laugh. Cry when you need to. Complete easy tasks to get back on track.
