To figure out what your mom might like, think about how she spends her time, as well as her interests. Consider if you've heard your mom talking about something she wants. If you're still not sure, ask your family and friends to give you ideas. For instance, you might get her a nice box of tea and a new mug if she likes to drink tea. If she likes jewelry, you might get her a necklace, bracelet, ring, or earrings. If she has a hobby, like painting, you might get her supplies. If your mom lives far away, order her gift online and have it sent to her address. Look for a floral arrangement at a local grocery store or floral shop. Alternatively, order a bouquet online and send it to your mom. You may be able to buy candy with the flowers. Otherwise, pick up your mom's favorite candy at a grocery store. For instance, you might get a big box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers. Get your mom's favorite candy. If you know she likes gummy candy more than chocolate, buy that instead. Chocolate and flower delivery services are pretty popular. You can order specific arrangements of both flowers and chocolates online and have them delivered to your mom on Mother's Day. Pretend you're tourists in your own city: go to a museum, take a walk in a forest or park, or see whatever other sights your city has to offer. Present your mom with a few different options or a sample itinerary in the morning, and let her choose. If you're doing this one, make sure you have all the details of each option worked out, including prices and hours of operations for any buildings such as museums or aquariums, for example. As Mother's Day falls on a Sunday, you want to make sure that your plans for an adventure aren't foiled by unanticipated closing hours. If you have a bit of money to spend, treat your mom to a day at the spa. A less expensive option is to book her in for a free makeover at a beauty shop and then give her a gift certificate to that shop. Another fun pampering option is to have a girls' day together. Go to the spa, get manicures and pedicures, or go get makeovers together.

Pour a bottle or can of beer into a jug or bowl and let it sit overnight or throughout the day. The more air surface your beer is exposed to, the faster it will oxidize and become flat. Beer becomes flat by releasing the carbon dioxide it creates. It's important that the carbon dioxide is gone from the beer when using it to treat hair as carbon dioxide combined with water can create hard water or water with a high mineral content. The presence of carbon dioxide can hinder the effects of shampoos and make it harder for you to wash your hair effectively. As well, hard water causes the scales on each hair to stand up, making your hair look tangled and tough. Use whatever shampoo you normally use but skip the conditioner. The beer will act as your conditioner instead. You can transfer your flat beer into a closed container or bottle and bring it with you into the bathroom or somewhere you can easily reach for while in the shower. Pour the container or bottle of beer onto your hair and lather it into your scalp. Beer is also very beneficial for your skin as beer sediment or brewer's yeast helps reduce sebum production and control oily skin on your face or scalp. You can also try dipping the ends of your hair with beer first, letting it set in your hair for about 5 minutes before rinsing your entire head with beer. It's recommended you don't rinse the beer off completely and leave it in your hair for a better effect. Towel dry your hair afterwards. It may take a few washes before you can feel and see results. It's best to only do the beer wash a few times a week as it can be quite drying for hair if used everyday.

Release the syringe plunger so that it pulls air inside. You should draw up the same volume of air as the volume of the first kind of insulin dosage. For example, if you need 7 units of NPH and 5 units of Novolog/Humalog, you will need to pull in 7 units of air for this first step. Remember that you should always draw up clear insulin (Novolog/Humalog) before cloudy insulin (NPH). Insert the syringe needle into the first bottle of insulin and push the plunger so that the air is released into the bottle. Then remove the syringe from the insulin bottle without drawing up any insulin. Make sure the bottle of insulin is kept on a flat surface during this whole process. Draw up the same volume of air into the syringe that equals the dosage of the second type of insulin. Insert the syringe into the second bottle and expel the air inside by slowly pressing the plunger. Do not draw any of the insulin up into the syringe at this time. Insert the syringe needle into the top of the clear insulin bottle. Turn the bottle upside down and pull up the plunger until you get the required dosage of clear insulin. Remove the syringe and replace the insulin bottle on the flat surface. Place the syringe needle in the top of the cloudy insulin bottle and turn the bottle upside down. Carefully pull the plunger back until you have pulled the necessary amount of insulin. Remove the syringe needle and return the insulin bottle to the flat surface. Be careful not to put pressure on the syringe plunger until you are ready to draw up the second insulin dosage during this step.

Open up the oven, pull out the rack a bit, and push the sides of the cookie very lightly with a spatula or your finger. If the edge stays firm and doesn't fall inwards, then your cookies are done. If you leave a noticeable indention, then your cookies likely need a few minutes more in the oven. This is an especially good method to use with dark cookies, such as chocolate or gingerbread, where coloring isn't the best indication of doneness. If you choose to use your finger to test, make sure to be very careful or you could get burned by the baking sheet. If you are working with a fragile cookie, like shortbread, test them by pressing lightly into the center instead of the edges. This will lower the likelihood of them breaking up upon contact. Pull open your oven and slide your metal spatula halfway under a single cookie. Lift up just a bit and check the coloring of the cookie's underside. The cookie should appear light brown or golden in coloring and firm in texture. Be very careful when lifting or you could split the cookie in half. This method works well for sandies, spritz, and other pale colored cookies. It's sometimes hard to test the doneness of bar cookies because they are so dense and often dark in coloring. Get a wooden toothpick or skewer and push it into the bar. Keep going until you reach the halfway point of the cookie. Withdraw the toothpick. If there are lots of crumbs or batter on the wood, then the cookies are not quite done. It's important to use wood skewers or toothpicks. Metal ones do not work as well as the crumbs will simply slide off.
