Q: Even though these colorations could be caused by dietary changes or medications, these colors could also be indicators of blood in the intestinal tract. If you have blood in your stool, or are actively bleeding when you have a bowel movement, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your stool is bright red or black and you recently ingested anti-diarrheal medications, food with red dye in it, or started a new medication, make an appointment with your doctor to make sure the change in your stool color isn't indicating anything more serious. Your doctor will run various tests on your stool like a fecal occult blood test to determine the cause. Most of the time, changes in stool color can be explained by treatable conditions, or simply by dietary causes. It's unlikely that a change in your stool color is cause for a trip to the emergency room, or even for any panic. Always check for recent changes in your diet or side effects of medications if your stool color changes suddenly. Regardless of the cause, if you are concerned about your stool or changes in your digestion, your safest and most effective method of treatment should be to seek advice from your doctor. A doctor will be able to identify for certain if there is anything to worry about, or if what you're dealing with is normal. Even if it might feel embarrassing or make you feel anxious to talk about your bowel movements, it's important to bring them up with your doctor if you are concerned. It's always better to play it safe and get a medical opinion. If the change in color is associated with abdominal pain or sudden diarrhea, for example, it could be a sign of something more than just a dietary change. If your stool color change is associated with any other sudden symptoms, see your doctor. Black or red diarrhea, for example, could be a sign of a serious condition and should be addressed immediately.
A: Seek medical attention for bright red or black stool. Understand the rarity of a stool color indicating a very serious medical condition. See a doctor if you are concerned. Consider what other physical symptoms are associated with your change in stool color.

Q: After the mixture has melted together but before you put it into its containers, stir in several drops of your favorite essential oil. Try out these scents: Peppermint for a fresh, vibrant scent. Orange or lime for a burst of citrus. Lavender for a calming, soothing scent. Start by adding 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) of glitter to the melted gloss before it has been put into containers. If you want more, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams). Mix it in thoroughly, and then pour the gloss into the containers. To be safe, avoid using craft glitter. Cosmetic-grade glitter is made to come into contact with your skin, and it isn't harmful if it gets accidentally ingested.
A:
Make your lipgloss scented by adding in 3 to 4 drops of essential oils. Create a sparkly gloss by adding glitter into the mixture.
