article: Place your blanched almonds in a food processor, cover the machine, and process at high speed until it develops a smooth consistency. The consistency of the ground almonds should be similar to a coarse-grain flour. They do not need to be a fine powder, but you should not be able to see any noticeable chunks of almond. If you notice that the almonds are grounding unevenly in the food processor, pause it and stir with a spatula before starting the machine back up again. Use a blender if you do not have a food processor. Add the powdered sugar, egg white, almond extract, and salt to the food processor, along with the ground almonds. Cover the machine again and process at high speed until smooth and evenly blended. Depending on the strength of your food processor, it could take 10 minutes or more before an actual paste forms. When you are finished processing the ingredients, a thick clay-like paste should form inside the machine. Scoop out the almond paste in 1/2 cup (125 ml) portions. Use your hands to shape these portions into balls or loaves. Center each portion in the middle of a sheet of plastic wrap and wrap the almond paste tightly. Place each wrapped portion into an airtight container and label it with the contents, amount, and date. Labeling the container will make it easier to keep track of how long the almond paste has been in storage. You could simply use a covering of plastic wrap, or you could skip the plastic wrap and place the almond paste in a resealable plastic bag or plastic container. Doubling up is not necessary, but it does improve the freshness and longevity of the almond paste as time passes. You can either refrigerate or freeze almond paste. In the refrigerator, it should last for 1 month. In the freezer, it should last for 3 months. Butter is not an essential ingredient, but adding it into the almond paste can make the final product smoother and less sticky. Wait until you are ready to use the almond paste before kneading the butter in. Soften the butter and cut it into small cubes. Roll out the almond paste and scatter the butter on top. Fold and knead the almond paste and butter to combine them. Stop once you can no longer see any visible traces of butter left behind.

article: . Humans have a bad tendency of judging books by their covers. If something isn't pretty, it isn't good. That's obviously not how it works, but it's a natural go-to for most of us (it saves a lot of time and energy on thought). So save yourself the struggle and shower, brush your teeth, run a comb through your hair, and dress like you give half a ferret. The world will be a lot kinder to you and thus be more readily convinced of your innate loveliness! Choose a scent and stick to it. People will smell your loveliness from across the room. Mmm. Loveliness. If they wanted to capture it, they'd ask you to sweat into a bottle. Psych! The first step was just to ease you in to the process. Showering is all well and good, but it's probably not enough. Being clean is very, very important, but being lovely has a certain "put together-ness" about it. So slap on some lip gloss, some eyeliner, and turn that ponytail into a neat bun. You don't have to dress to the nines (sometimes that's just inappropriate), but do have a look that says "I didn't play Russian roulette with my closet today." Spend five minutes picking out your outfit. Give yourself a glance to see if your pieces fit together. If someone were to see you, what's the first impression they would get? . Being a klutz isn't something you can really help, but it's something you can consciously try to be aware of. If you keep good posture, your chin up and shoulders up (if you don't trip over yourself!), you'll move like Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly. The ultimate picture of class. . There is a certain aspect of loveliness that is very feminine. Very soft, very gentle. There is nothing loud, brash, excessive, or macho about being lovely. While everyone's version of femininity is different, play up whatever that word means to you. You can be feminine in an oversized plaid shirt and jeans. You can be feminine while you're bossing people around. You can be feminine rolling out of bed with no makeup on. It doesn't necessarily have to do with what you're wearing or doing; it has more to do with how you project yourself. A lovely person generally makes people feel good. They light up a room with their energy. The simplest way to do this is to be generous with your smile. Be delighted at the tiniest of things. Marvel at small beauty in the world. Show you appreciate the world around you (and the people in it) with a smile. Here's a blow-your-mind thought: There are people in this world who haven't been smiled at today. There are people in this world who haven't been smiled at for weeks. Think about that. The only thing you have to do to make their world brighter is smile at them. That would be awfully lovely of you.

Dying, straightening and teasing can all cause harsh damage to your hair. In order to keep your scene hair looking stylish and healthy, make sure you take steps to care for it. Try to find products that are meant for your type of hair (such as oily hair, thick hair, curly hair, and so on). If you've dyed your hair, buy shampoo that's specifically meant for color-treated locks. It will help your dye job last longer. Also, if you have dyed hair, wash it in water that's as cold as you can stand. Hot water will make your dye fade out faster, as well as making the shade slightly off. If possible, try to find shampoo that doesn't contain sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate. These compounds are alcohols that dry out your hair. Schedule a deep conditioning treatment for your hair on the same day every week. Browse around for one that suits your hair type and budget. If you need something simple to start with (and you live in North America), try Aussie 3-Minute Miracle. Find a product you like, and use it religiously whenever you apply heat to your hair. Your ends will thank you for it. The only way to get rid of split ends is to cut them off. If you notice your ends starting to fray, book an appointment with your stylist or trim them yourself. Either way, make sure the cut is high enough to remove all of the damaged hair. You're probably going to use a lot of styling product if you want to have scene hair, and it's important to wash it out. Every other day or every third day should be sufficient.
