Q: Protein powder can be extracted from a variety of foods, including dairy products, egg whites, and vegan alternatives. This is why different brands of protein powder can have such significantly different flavors. Before spending your money on a powder that might turn your stomach, spend some time surfing the web for information. Many health, exercise, and bodybuilding forums have threads where users discuss their favorite and least favorite protein powders. If you're on the hunt for a better tasting powder, don't invest in a giant tub of it. Buy the smallest container you can find. If you don't like it, you can either discard it or power through until you run out hopefully quickly! The problem may be that you can't stand the taste of unflavored protein powder. Luckily, many brands sell products that are already flavored with chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon. You can even find wilder flavors like cookies and cream! If these flavors don't work for you on their own, try mixing them together. Half a scoop of cinnamon with half a scoop of chocolate may be your new favorite flavor. Protein powders are marketed to health-conscious people, so most of them don't have sugar or corn syrup in them. In fact, they often advertise that they have no added flavors or sweeteners. Sugar always helps mask the taste of the powder, though, no matter what you mix it with. Look for the few brands that do include some kind of sweetening agent. Keep in mind that added sugar should be limited throughout the day and will add extra calories to your protein powder.
A: Read online reviews for different brands and flavors. Test different protein powders in small amounts. Test out flavored protein powders. Look for powders with sugar or artificial sweetener.

Q: To start your pralines, you must first make a caramel. Put your sugar and water into a large saucepan. Stir the sugar and water over a medium heat to help the sugar dissolve. Once it is dissolved, stop stirring the mixture. Use a pastry brush to remove any sugar crystals from the side of the pot. Removing the crystals makes it so your caramel isn't grainy. Increase the heat of the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil. When your mixture starts to get golden brown, add in your almonds and stir the mixture. Once the sugar turns golden brown, remove it from the heat. Make sure you watch your pot very carefully. The mixture will burn easily. Take your pan and plunge the bottom into a sink or bowl full of cold water. This lowers the heat of the pan and keeps the caramel from getting too brown. Cover a flat baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour out your praline mixture and spread it across the pan in an even layer. Let it cool. One of the differences between British and American pralines is that they are crushed and used as a topping instead of eaten as candies. Once the pralines have cooled completely, break it apart. Put the pieces into a food processor. Pulse until it makes a fine powder. These are good as toppings on other desserts such as cakes and ice cream sundaes.
A: Dissolve the sugar. Cook the caramel. Pour the pralines. Crush the pralines.

Q: Education is not the most important part of learning proper English by any means, but people with extensive educations do often have a strong grasp on the rules of grammar and syntax. Speak to well-educated people, like your teachers, your family members, or even nice strangers to hear what English is supposed to sound like. Try to mimic how these people speak. It may feel strange or awkward at first, but with practice it will become second nature. English speakers who are recording their voices will pay extra attention to their pronunciation and how they are saying a word. Read along with an audiobook to see how each word is pronounced, or listen to an educational podcast for a more conversational tone. You can even stop the recording and repeat new words until you get them right. A common mistake many native and non-native English speakers make is not pronouncing the endings of words. Try over-enunciating the endings of words at first, then relax a little. Dropping the ends of words makes the language more informal, since some of them can be versions of slang words. For instance, instead of saying "goin'," say "going." Instead of saying "makin'," say "making." To practice your pronunciation and moving from word to word quickly as you speak, say some tongue-twisters to yourself once a day. Practice ones that rely heavily on different letters and pronunciations so that you get a well-rounded practice. Common tongue-twisters include: "Sally sells seashells down by the sea shore." "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers." "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Tongue-twisters are notoriously difficult to say, even for native English speakers. Don't get discouraged if it takes some practice to get these right.
A: Speak to educated English-speakers. Listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Pronounce the endings of words. Practice tongue-twisters.

Q: Your hairstylist can be an excellent ally. Ask your stylist for guidance on finding a fuller-looking hairstyle. Let the stylist know the specifics of your concerns--where you feel your hair looks thin, how you would like it to look, and what, if any, are you style limits. It sounds obvious, but ask your stylist not to thin out your hair, as it will only make hair look thinner and flatter. A haircut designed to make your hair look fuller can go a long way towards helping you create the illusion of full-bodied hair. Shorter hairstyles lend themselves more to fuller hair. The longer hair gets, the heavier and flatter it becomes. Cutting layers into your hair is a great strategy to make it appear thicker. Don't fall into the mullet trap. Mullets are friends to no one. Ditch the part. Look for styles that allow you to comb hair back rather than parting it to one side--it will help hide thinness. Monotone hair color contributes to a flatter, thinner appearance, so to add thickness, choose a hair color that includes varying shades and dimension. Choose a shade of hair color that will flatter your natural skin tone; otherwise, a harsh color may emphasize rather than minimize thin hair. Highlights and lowlights can also add dimension, and thus a fuller look, to your hair. Bleaching hair will also cause the strands to expand, making your hair appear thicker, but don't bleach your hair if it's already damaged. If you have extra scratch to spend, you can invest in professional hair extensions. You can also get clip-in extensions for a more affordable option. It seems to work for celebrities. Remember, though, that you want volume, not length. If the extensions will only give you additional length, they won't help disguise thinning hair. This is perhaps the most drastic option, but if you're facing serious and progressive hair thinning, it may also be the best option. Be sure to do your research before committing to either at-home or professional hair enhancement. For more information on surgical procedures, see the American Hair Loss Association's website.
