Look for a cream that contains hydrating ingredients like shea butter, oats, and lanolin. Make sure the cream is paraben and fragrance-free so it does not irritate your skin. Avoid creams with harsh chemicals or dyes, as they can irritate your skin. Ointment is usually thicker than cream and can be a good option if your skin is really irritated or burned. It can be especially helpful to apply these ointments overnight. Take care, though, that you do not get any in your eyes. Do not look for a triple antibiotic ointment that contains hydrocortisone, unless your skin is broken, infected, and does not seem to be healing. Hydrocortisone usage is good for eczema and treating itch, but will thin your skin out and weaken it, if used more than recommended. Brands such as First Aid Beauty, Cetaphil, CeraVe, and Vanicream are well recognized as good for skin healing. Aloe vera gel can help to soothe dry or irritated skin, much like it does for a sunburn. Look for aloe vera gel at your local health food store or online. Coconut oil is great for hydrating and soothing irritated skin. It can also help your skin heal faster. Look for coconut oil at your local health food store or online.

Summary: Apply a moisturizing cream. Use a hydrating ointment. Apply aloe vera gel. Use coconut oil for a natural option.

Click the colored Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. A pop-up menu will appear. It's at the bottom of the Start menu. Doing so will search your computer for the Disk Cleanup program, which is included in all versions of Windows 7. It should be near the top of the Start menu. This will open the Disk Cleanup window. This is in the lower-left side of the Disk Cleanup window. If you aren't on an administrator account, you can't clean up system files. Skip this step and the next one. Doing so will allow Disk Cleanup to restart with additional options available. Click the checkbox next to each category of files or items you want to delete from your computer, making sure to uncheck any checkboxes next to items you want to keep. Some of the categories are as follows, though you may see more categories than these: Windows Update Removes the last Windows Update files from your computer (this does not remove the current update). Downloaded Program Files Removes unnecessary files from programs. Temporary Internet Files Removes saved Internet files. System created Windows Error Reporting Removes error reporting files. Recycle Bin Removes any files stored in the Recycle Bin. Temporary files Removes other temporary files created by programs or web use. User file history Removes history of browsing (e.g., Windows Explorer searches). Everything in this menu can be deleted safely, but removing things like the Windows Update cache will prevent you from being able to roll back to the previous version of the Windows update. It's at the bottom of the window. Doing so will allow Disk Cleanup to begin erasing the selected items from your computer's hard drive. Once this process completes, Disk Cleanup will close itself. It may take anywhere from a few minutes to around an hour for Disk Cleanup to finish running.

Summary: Open Start . Click the search bar. Type in disk cleanup. Click Disk Cleanup. Click Clean up system files. Click Yes when prompted. Select items to delete. Click OK. Click Delete Files when prompted.

You can find these online although some well-stocked craft stores may also carry them. Each brand will be a little different, but most kits will contain the following: a pre-printed canvas, flat-backed diamonds also known as drills, a tray, a pen-like tool, and a packet of gel or wax. The canvas is composed of tiny boxes that are colored and labeled with numbers, letters and/or symbols, much like a cross-stitch canvas. Each symbol corresponds to a diamond color. The symbols are written on a chart, with the corresponding bag and drill color written below or next to it. The chart is typically printed on the side of the canvas. If the canvas won't lay flat, roll it back the other way, then unroll it. Spread it down onto a flat surface, then secure the edges with masking tape. This project can be time consuming. Consider taping the canvas to a board, which you can move out of the way easily. Choose a box to start with and note the symbol in it. Match the symbol on the canvas with the chart, then find the bag with the same symbol. Gently shake the tray to settle the drills and set them upright. Some kits come with multiple trays. You can use the other trays for the other colors in that section.
Summary: Purchase a diamond painting kit. Understand how to read the canvas. Unroll the canvas and tape it down onto a flat surface. Look at the part of canvas you just exposed. Open up the bag, and pour out some of the diamonds onto the tray that came with your kit.
