You may buy almond meal at the store, but it's easy to make it at home: just place raw almonds in a blender or food processor and pulse until they've turned into a fine-grained meal. Don't pulse for too long, or the almonds will turn to almond milk. Don't use salted or roasted almonds. You may also use olive oil, coconut oil, or another cosmetic-grade oil. Avoid peanut oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, and other oils with strong smells. Lavender, lemon, rose, and other essential oils make this scrub feel even more luxurious. To store this scrub for later, put the mixture in a jar sealed with a lid. Keep it in a cool, dry place. It should last for several weeks. Rub the scrub all over your face, concentrating in spots that are dry. Use a wet washcloth to remove the scrub, and splash cold water over your face when you're finished.

Check the websites of blood donation organizations to find out where you can donate. For instance, you can use the American Red Cross website to look for blood donation centers in your area. Alternatively, watch for blood drives where you can give blood. The American Red Cross states that it administers the hemoglobin test on its website. Check to make sure the organization you're donating with also provides this test. Most organizations screen for low or high iron levels. This method requires that you be willing to donate blood, as the test is part of the donation process. Usually, you can just show up to donate--you don't need to make an appointment. However, you do need to be healthy. You also need to be at least 17-years-old and weigh a minimum of 110 pounds. For donating blood, "healthy" means you are able to perform your usual routine, and you have any chronic disease, such as diabetes, under control. It also means that you don't have an infection like a cold or the flu, or certain illnesses including malaria, syphilis, and HIV/AIDS. Before you give blood, the technician will stick your finger using a fingerstick, which just means they poke your finger with a small, spring-loaded needle. That will produce a drop of blood the technician can use to check your hemoglobin levels. The technician likely won't give you an exact figure. However, this test is used to screen you for high or low hemoglobin, which can indicate high and low iron. Therefore, if you're disqualified from giving blood, you can ask if it was your hemoglobin level and whether the level was in the high or low range. The technician is looking for certain levels of hemoglobin in your blood, but they will likely just have a general range to see if you fall above or below certain levels. They'll disqualify you if you fall in these ranges. For instance, if your hemoglobin levels fall below 12.5 g/dL for a woman or 13 g/dL for a man, you can't give blood because your iron levels are likely too low. If your levels are above 20 g/dL for a man or woman, you can't give blood because your iron levels are likely too high. This is a rare occurrence.

Place the black-eyed peas in a colander and rinse them with cool running water. Rinsing the black-eyed peas removes dirt and stray hulls. Make sure that the water covers the black-eyed peas completely, but do not fill the pot so high that it will boil over when heated. Cover with the lid of the pot. Heat the beans and water over medium-high heat until the water reaches a steady boil. Continue boiling for 2 to 3 minutes. Most beans are soaked in cold water for several hours, but black-eyed peas can be soaked in hot water to reduce the amount of time it takes. It is not essential to soak your black-eyed peas, so this step can be skipped if you are short on time. Soaking the beans causes them to become softer, however, and it also helps to reduce the risk of digestive upset. Allow the black-eyed peas to sit in the warm water for 60 to 90 minutes. Pour the contents of the pot through a colander to remove the stale water. Rinse the black-eyed peas once more with cool water.
