Q: Wash your hands with soap and clean water. Dry your hands on a clean cloth and apply a hand disinfectant. Rub the disinfectant through your hands and let it air dry. Only remove your earrings after the amount of time recommended by your piercer, usually at least six weeks. If you take the earrings out too early, the holes could close or become infected. If you have long hair, tie it back so you can easily get to your ears. Take a cotton ball and dip it in rubbing alcohol or the cleansing solution you may have been given. Gently wipe around the earring so that you wipe the ear free of dirt and skin cell buildup. You can also use a cotton swab if you're worried that a cotton ball might snag on your earring. You should clean your ear like this every day until you're ready to take the earrings out. Use the thumb and index finger on one hand to grasp the front of your earring. With the thumb and index finger of your other hand, hold the back of the earring post. Keep a firm grip on the earring so that it doesn't fall when you remove the earring back and pull it out. Be especially careful if you're standing over a sink. Use your fingers to gently wiggle the earring back so that it moves back and forth, loosening and removing it from the post. The other hand should still be holding the front of the earring in place. You could also try peeling the back away from the post if you can't wiggle it free. Avoid spinning your earrings when initially wearing them or removing them. Spinning or twisting can rebruise the healed part of your ear. Constantly touching and spinning the earrings can also cause infection. Once the back of the earring is off, you can slowly pull the post out of your ear, keeping a firm grip on the jewelry or stud. Repeat the process with the other earring. Never push the post through your ear to pull it out of the back, even if the jewelry or stud is small. Disinfect your hands and let them air dry. You should also disinfect the new pair of earrings. Since your ears are still getting used to earrings, choose earrings made of gold, surgical steel, or hypo-allergenic material. Avoid wearing hoops, dangling, or fish-hook styles as your second earrings. These may be heavier and could pull down on your ear lobes or get caught in your hair. Let your holes heal for a few more weeks or months before wearing these types. If you'd rather let your holes close up, keep the earrings in for the recommended 6 weeks so that the ears heal. Then, remove the earrings and wash the ears every day until the holes close up.
A: Wash your hands. Clean your ears. Position your fingers. Wiggle the earring back. Remove the post. Insert new earrings.

Q: Sore throat spray contains a local anesthetic that will minimize the pain of a sore throat temporarily. Follow the directions on the packaging to know how many sprays you can apply and how often you should apply them. These sprays are available at most pharmacies and over-the-counter medication sections in big box and grocery stores. Like sore throat sprays, lozenges made to ease sore throats contain a local anesthetic that minimizes the pain of a sore throat. These lozenges come in a variety of flavors and are available at most pharmacies and general stores. Like other over-the-counter medications, you need to follow the directions for how often you can use the product. A local anesthetic does not eliminate the pain permanently. It will only temporarily relieve it. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help to eliminate a variety of types of pain, including pain caused by vomiting. However, you need to make sure that the nausea and vomiting episode is over before taking a pain reliever, as this could upset your stomach and cause further discomfort. Some pain relievers you can use for sore throat pain include acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin.
A: Use sore throat spray. Suck on a lozenge. Take a pain reliever.

Q: Turn on the heat and all defrosters. This will help melt snow and ice as well as give you a place to warm up once you are done digging.Turn on your headlights to help melt the snow and ice from the lenses. Leave the engine running and the heat and defrosters on while you finish removing the ice from the windshield and windows. Ensure you have enough gasoline to let the car idle while you are removing the rest of snow and still reach your destination. If you don't have a key fob and your locks are frozen, use lock de-icer if you have it. If not, you could try heating up your key with a lighter or matches before inserting it into the lock. Be careful not to burn your hands or gloves! Don't force the lock, or you may end up needing a locksmith. Do this after you start your car so the heat and defrosters make the job a bit easier. Use an ice scraper to clear the windshield, side windows, side mirrors, back window and any parts of the roof and hood that are not yet free of ice. Do not pour warm water on the windshield as this can cause the glass to crack! You should also free up the wipers, if they are frozen. Remove snow and ice from your headlights and taillights as well. Clear any large piles of snow or ice that will get in the way of you driving your car away from the spot you were parked in. Use a low gear and a low speed to help you move the car away from the spot. You may want to put salt, sand, or cat litter around your tires to help you gain traction when attempting to drive away. The gritty material is easier for your tires to grab onto than snow and ice. Rock your car or get a push to help you gain momentum. If no one is around to help you push the car, you can alternate between reverse and drive to get the car moving. Be sure to let the engine return to neutral before shifting gears.
A: Start the car. Clear the windshield and windows. Dig out a path to drive away.

Q: The most obvious way to make your legs seem longer is to wear shoes that add inches to your height. High heels will also force your feet to extend, which makes your calves look longer and more shapely. Avoid wearing heels too often. Over time, high heels can damage your joints and cause chronic back pain. A shoe that blends in with your skin will create a long, uninterrupted line when you're wearing skirts or shorts. Both the solid color and added length from your feet will create the illusion of longer legs. You can also create that same uninterrupted line by coordinating your shoes when wearing tights or pants. For example, try wearing black hosiery with black heels. This monochromatic look creates a clean line as the eye travels from the top of your leg straight down to the floor without stopping. The horizontal straps cause the viewer's eye to pause early, making your legs look shorter. Ankle straps have the opposite effect of high heels and v-shaped cuts. If you love ankle straps, consider wearing tights in the same color as the strap to prevent the line of your legs from being broken up. Over-the-knee boots create a clean, uninterrupted look from your lower thigh down to the floor. Knee high boots have a similar but less exaggerated effect. Ankle boots, on the other hand, cut your leg off just above the foot. Like ankle straps, they make your legs look shorter than they are. An ankle boot with a v-cut at its top instead of a horizontal line is exempt from this rule. A pointed v-cut ankle boot can even make your legs look longer in its own right, as they extend the line of your legs downwards. A pointed toe will extend your feet (and your legs) twofold: First, shoes with pointed toes typically have at least an inch or two of extra space making them physically longer than a round-toe shoe in the same size. Second, the tapering point also creates the illusion that your feet (and consequently legs) are even longer.
A:
Add more high heels and platforms to your wardrobe. Wear shoes that are close to your skin tone. Match your shoes with your pants or stockings. Avoid ankle straps. Wear long boots. Go for a pointed toe.
