In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A diary doesn't have to be just for writing. You can also keep small reminders of things you do each day. Keep things like ticket stubs to movies and concerts, notes from friends, and photographs. Use cute washi tape or glue to secure these to pages in your diary. You can collage them all together, or add words in around them to remind yourself why you kept a certain ticket. In addition to writing in your diary, you might also want to add little sketches. Sketch the places you love to visit or hang out. Create portraits of your friends, draw your pets, or draw your favorite flowers. If you're new to sketching, start with a pencil, in case you want to change parts of your sketch as you go. Add color to your pencil sketch with pastels, paints, markers, pens, or colored pencils. Don't worry too much about whether or not your sketch looks good. Your diary is for you to look at and enjoy, and the creative process should be fun.If you have a polaroid, pictures from it are great to put in your diary. Stickers can be a creative way to record things in your diary. For example, you can use stickers to keep track of your emotions each day. If you are feeling particularly happy one day, add a smiley face sticker next to that date. On days that you especially want to remember, add a sticker so you can easily go back to read those entries.
Summary: Add small mementos to your diary. Make sketches. Use stickers in your diary.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Making your own stovetop double boiler is easy. You just need to find a bowl that will sit on top of a pot or saucepan like an inverted lid. The bottom of the bowl shouldn't reach down more than one-third of the way into the pot. Try a metal or heat-resistant glass mixing bowldon't use plastic! When in place, the bowl should create a seal all the way around the rim of the pot or saucepan. This way, the steam won't be able to escape. You don't need much water to create an effective double boiler, since trapped steam will do all the work. Add at least 1in (2.5cm) of water so it doesn't boil away completely, but don't fill the pot more than halfway full. You don't want the bottom of the bowl to touch the water in the pot. Ideally, there should be at least 1in (2.5cm) of space between them. Turn your stove onto medium or high heat, and put a lid on your pot if you want it to boil faster (don't use the bowl yet). When the water is bubbling rapidly, turn the heat down to a very low settingjust enough to maintain a simmer. At a simmer, the water should be just barely bubbling. Use the directions on the bag of hard wax beans to get an idea of how much you need. For example, you'll probably need about 1.25oz (35g) of beans to wax both your upper lip and your eyebrows. Leave enough room in the bowl so that you'll be able to easily stir the wax mixture without causing it to spill over the sides. A double boiler provides more gentle, even heating than what you'd get by melting the beans right in the pot. However, the wax beans will still heat and melt unevenly, so give them a good stir every minute or so. Your best stirring options are a silicone spatula, a wooden spoon, or one of the wax applicator sticks you'll be using (they look like Popsicle sticks). If your bowl starts to shake or rattle, too much steam is building up beneath it. Turn down the heat even more. Don't lift off the bowl, or your hands and face may get blasted by scalding hot steam. Remove the pot from the heat for a few minutes if necessary. Stick a heat-resistant thermometer into the melted wax, making sure not to touch the bottom or sides of the bowl. The wax temperature will continue to rise for a few minutes after you turn off the heat, so don't let it get all the way up to 160F (71C), or it may be too hot when you try to apply it. The ideal temperature range for hard wax used on your body is 125160F (5271C). Wax that's over 165F (74C) can cause burns. Leave the wax in the bowl, and leave the bowl on top of the pot. The residual heat will help keep it above 125F (52C) longer. If the wax starts to get too goopy to apply easily, turn the heat back on to low until the wax reaches 150F (66C) again.
Summary: Grab a heat-resistant bowl that nestles nicely on top of a pot or saucepan. Add about 23in (5.17.6cm) of water to the saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce it to a low simmer. Pour the beans into the bowl, then nestle it on the pot. Stir the wax frequently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Turn off the heat when your thermometer reads 150F (66C).

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Make sure your paint is thoroughly blended and free of clumps or separation. You can do this with an electric drill with a paint paddle attachment if the paint has been sitting in storage for a while, or simply give it a stir if you're just bringing it home. The better the paint is mixed, the smoother coverage it will create. Oil based paints may separate more than other varieties. Do your blending outside and set down a few sheets of newspaper or cardboard to protect from splatters. Paint cracks, crevices and other hard to reach spaces first, using a brush to give you greater control. Afterwards, go over flat, broad surfaces using a dense foam roller. Let the initial coat set up for a couple of hours before applying subsequent coats. Don't worry too much about making the first coat flawless. You can cover up any visible imperfections with later coats. Most cabinets will require two to three coats for a seamless finish. For the final coat, use a steady hand and a consistent brushing pattern. Watch out for drips, as these can permanently settle into the complete finish once it dries. When you're done, the your cabinets should have a rich, uniform appearance. Use your best judgment after applying the base coat to decide how many follow-up coats will be necessary. Many new types of paint are self-leveling, which means they won't run or clot as easily. Working with these paints can save you a lot of frustration in achieving the perfect finish, as well as additional mess during cleanup. The paint will dry to the touch within 24-48 hours, though it may take up to a week for it to harden to the point that it becomes resistant to scuffs and other marks. Leave the doors open to provide air flow. Keep small children and pets away from wet paint as it dries. Leaving the fan running in the bathroom may help the paint set up at a faster rate. Once the cabinets are dry, reassemble the doors, put all hardware back into place and enjoy the newfound beauty and relaxation of your bathroom! Make sure the paint dries completely before installing the hardware or it will adhere to the paint.
Summary:
Mix the paint. Apply the base coat. Paint additional coats as needed. Allow the paint to dry completely. Replace the doors and hardware.
