Before doing anything with the wood, you should have a suitable place to work in, where you can make a mess and it doesn't matter. Use a table or other surface that is comfortable to work on and that you're okay getting a splash of dye on. Cover it with a plastic cloth or some other protective surface. You'll probably want to put on an old t-shirt and some plastic or rubber gloves, too. With rubber gloves on to prevent staining your hands and fingers, add a package of drink powder to water to create a dye. Adjust your ratio of water to powder until you get the shade that you want. Cherry drink powder will come out red, grape will come out purple, etc. If you want a darker, deeper shade, just add less water. You can also combine colors (red and yellow make orange, for example) if the color you want is unavailable in flavor form. The best perk of using drink powder as your dye? It smells delicious. Using a foam brush, spread the paint everywhere on the wood, wherever you need the dye to be applied. It will soak right in and smell fruity too. Remember that it will get lighter as it dries, so wait a minute to see if you need to apply another coat or two. You'll probably need a couple of layers, so be patient. Be sure to coat the entirety of the wood before you move onto coating it a second time to keep the color even. Wait for 16-20 minutes after you have finished spreading the dye. This will give the dye time to soak into the wood. Then, put the drying wood in a sunny or windy place to dry quickly. When that time is up, your art is ready. Check the color. When the wood dries completely, see if the color is dark enough for your liking. If it isn't dark enough, dye the wood again.

summary: Set up your workspace. Prepare the drink powder. Paint the dye onto the wood. Let the wood dry.

Shy guys may not feel comfortable making the first moves in a relationship. Instead of waiting for him to ask you out or to lean in first for a kiss, you make the first move. He may not feel comfortable taking the lead in these situations and you doing this will help take the pressure off him. Figuring out what to do on a date with a shy guy requires some thought. You'll need to make an effort to make him comfortable. Shy guys usually prefer low-key dates where they can relax and open up slowly over ones where they feel pressured to be outgoing. Opt for dates like staying in and watching a movie or spending an afternoon at the driving range, instead of inviting him out to a packed bar with a big group of friends. Dates that provide some kind of activity and don't focus solely on talking can help him relax. Dates on which he has the opportunity to teach you a skill he's good at are also a good idea. Not only will the two of you bond over the activity, but he'll likely get a boost of confidence by teaching you. When you're dealing with a shy guy, you will probably need to put in a majority of the effort needed to keep the conversation going. This can be tough when your guy isn't naturally chatty. To help encourage him to provide more than just a quick, one word answer, ask him open-ended questions and avoid those that can be answered with a "yes" or "no." For example, asking questions like, "How did you become such a great guitar player?" rather than, "Do you like playing the guitar?" will encourage him to share more details about himself. Although it might be easy for you to talk about what you like to do, a shy guy may have trouble adding to that conversation. Try talking about topics he's interested in and avoid topics that might make him uncomfortable, causing him to clam up. For instance, your guy probably won't have much to say about your recent experience at the nail salon, but he'll likely have quite a bit to say about the band you guys saw after dinner the other night. Talk about topics you both have in common. Also, remember to pick topics that won't make him feel uncomfortable. Asking him to talk about a strained family relationship, for instance, might cause him to become uncomfortable and stop talking. If you're having trouble getting him to open up in person, try using a different type of communication. For example, maybe he has trouble communicating in face-to-face situations, but feels more comfortable talking over the phone or texting. Give him the chance to do this until he starts to feel more comfortable around you. Social media platforms provide tons of different ways to communicate. Try messaging him on Facebook or Instagram to get the conversation going. Getting a shy guy to open up to you relies a great deal on building up his confidence. Make sure you let him know that you appreciate the little things he does for you. Praising him for things like taking out the trash, bringing you a coffee at work, and rubbing your feet at the end of a long day will let him know you are paying attention to his actions too, not just his words. This will help him feel loved and appreciated. Also be sure to praise him when he makes an effort to open up to you. If you had a great conversation one night, let him know how much you enjoyed it and that you'd like to hear more of his thoughts and ideas.

summary: Make the first move. Plan dates where he can relax. Ask open-ended questions. Pick the right topic. Try different methods of communication. Praise his efforts.

There is little to no scientifically-backed support for most homemade treatments; support for these methods is mostly anecdotal, or based on personal accounts. These treatments may or may not work, and could potentially damage your skin. Talk to your doctor before attempting any homemade treatment. If you have particularly sensitive skin take extra care and use more diluted versions of these solutions. Stop if any of these irritate your skin. It is thought that a proteins found in eggs may kill bacteria that causes acne. To make a face mask, separate an egg white from the yolk and, after patting dry your face, apply the egg white to your skin. You can use a cloth for this, if you use your fingers make sure they are clean and dry first. Once the first egg layer has dried, add another. Repeat this 3-5 times, always letting each layer dry first. Then wash it off and pat dry. You can add a layer of tissue between each egg layer. Peel each layer off before you wash your face at the end. Raw egg whites can grow salmonella. Be sure not to ingest raw egg white. Honey has both antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties and may assist in healing wounds and skin infections. There is, however, no evidence that it has any affect on blackheads or acne. It is thought the stickiness may help it bind to the blackheads and remove them. Warm up some honey in a pan, or place a jar of honey in hot water. When the honey is hot to the touch, but there is no danger of you burning yourself, dab it onto your blackheads and let it dry for around ten minutes. Wash off your face with a damp cloth. You can leave this treatment on overnight, but make sure it has dried or you might wake up with your face stuck to your pillow!
summary: Understand the limitations and risks of homemade treatments. Try an egg white mask. Use warmed honey.
