Q: Look along the bottom of the front of your machine. Find the small panel that covers the drainage filter. Most panels these days are hinged and can be easily removed without tools, but if your panel is screwed into place, find an appropriate screwdriver. However: Don't remove the panel just yet. For now, just note its location. Note that the drainage filter is along the very bottom of your machine, which means you're going to have to use a very shallow dish to catch water coming out of it. To make life easier, pull the machine away from the wall just enough for you to tip it back a little. Lift the front end a few inches off the floor. Slide bricks or solid blocks of wood underneath the front corners for them to rest on while you work so you can use a deeper dish. However, keep in mind that: The washer weighs a lot on its own, and the water inside makes it even heavier. If possible, have a partner help you with this step to make it easier. Do not attempt lifting your machine if you don't think you're able to do so, even with a partner. Skipping this step just means more trips to and from your drain. This may be a pain figuratively speaking, but it's better than injuring yourself for real. Unscrew or unhinge the panel to your drainage filter. Lay a towel over the floor directly underneath. Then, depending on your machine's design: Set a shallow bowl, dish, or similar container directly below the filter if no funnel or similar device is included behind the panel. If there is a funnel or similar device to carry water away from the machine, extend it and set your dish below that. Once your towel and dish is in place, start unscrewing the drainage filter very slowly. Once it opens just enough for water to start trickling out in a manageable stream, stop unscrewing. Let the dish fill close to capacity, then screw the filter shut again. Dispose of the drained water, then repeat until no more water empties out of your machine. Don't unscrew the filter all the way. This will enable more water than your dish can hold to spill out of the machine all at once. It will also make it difficult for you to fit the filter back into place and seal it shut as water continues to empty out. If you propped the front of your machine up on bricks, keep in mind that there is still some water inside, even though it has quit draining. Make sure the filter is sealed tight, then remove the bricks and set the machine back on the floor. Now finish draining your machine as you did before, using a shallower dish if necessary. Tipping your machine backward and propping the front up on bricks causes the water inside to gravitate toward the back.
A: Locate the drainage filter. Raise the front of the machine, if it's safe to do so. Remove the panel and set up your gear. Unscrew, drain, and repeat. Lower your machine and finish draining.

Q: Cream blushes don't have to contain dangerous chemicals. By making your own cream blush, you get to decide exactly what goes into itand you can customize the color too. This section will teach you how to make your own cream blush. You can apply it using your fingers or makeup sponge. Fill the bottom pot with an inch or two of water and place the upper pot on top. Transfer everything to the stove and turn the stove on to a medium heat. If you do not have a double boiler, then you can make your own by filling a large pot with an inch or two of water, and placing a large bowl over it. The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water. You will need 1 teaspoon of shea butter and teaspoon of emulsifying wax. Place both ingredients into the upper pot or bowl of your double boiler. Heat the two ingredients until they melt. Be sure to stir them while they are melting with a spoon or spatula. This helps the butter and wax melt more evenly, and it mixes them together. Once the shea butter and emulsifying wax have melted completely, turn the stove off and move the double boiler to a heat-resistant surface. The mixture in the pot should look translucent, and there should be no clumps. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, measure out 1 tablespoon of aloe gel and transfer it to the mixture. Blend everything together with a spoon or spatula. Try to use a clear aloe gel, as opposed to a tinted one. Add both your mica and cocoa powders a little bit at a time until you get the color you want. You can use any color of mica powders you want, but pinks and reds might yield the best and most natural results. The cocoa powders will help darken the blush. If you wish to have a lighter blush, then use less cocoa. You will need to 1 teaspoon of each powder, depending on your preferences. Consider dipping a spoon into the mixture, letting it cool, and holding it against your cheek to make sure you have the right color. Once you have achieved the color you want, transfer everything into a small, seal-able jar using a spoon or spatula. Leave the jar in a cool place, unopened, until it has solidified, then seal the jar tightly with a lid. Wait 24 hours before using the blush. This allows it to solidify. You can leave your container as is, or you can personalize it further by adding a personalized label or embellishing it with stick-on gems.
A:
Consider making a cream blush. Assemble your double boiler. Measure out the shea butter and emulsifying wax and put it the a double boiler. Melt shea butter and wax in a double boiler. Remove the double boiler from the stove. Add aloe and mix until smooth. Add mica and cocoa powders a little bit at a time. Transfer everything into a little jar and let it solidify. Consider decorating your container.
