Problem: Article: Henna paste is moist when applied. After application, you need to keep that body part away from any obstructionsclothing, hair, environmental factorsso that it doesn't smear the design. The paste usually dries within 5-10 minutes, but err on the side of caution. It will take approximately half an hour before the henna paste is dry enough that you don't have to worry about smudging it. The longer the paste stays on the skin, the darker the stain will be. Let the paste dry on your skin for at least 6 hours, and consider leaving it on overnight. Don't wash it off; don't rub it off; don't accidentally brush it against anything. Once the henna paste starts to dry, coat it with a mixture of sugar and lemon juice. Leave it to soak in for a few hours, or even overnight. This will keep the paste moist for longer, making the resulting stain even darker. Fill a small bowl with lemon juice, then mix with sugar until the solution is sticky and syrupy. Use a cotton ball to blot the sugar-lemon-juice onto the dry henna. The lemon sugar helps moisturize the henna. It also serves to seal the henna and protect the design. The acidity of the lemon can also help highlight the color of the henna. Be careful not to oversaturate the henna; you just want it very slightly damp. If you use too much moisture, the dye may smear and drip especially at first. If you leave the sugar-and-lemon-juice solution on your skin overnight, it's important to wrap or otherwise protect your skin from rubbing and smearing. The warmer the body temperature, the faster the henna will stain. If you are cold, try drinking something hot before you start. Gently steaming the paste-coated area also helps impart warmth and moisture. The henna paste will flake and crumble as it dries, so consider covering up the inked area to keep the crumbs from spilling everywhere. Wrapping also helps make the stain darker by conserving heat and moisture. You can wrap the area with an elastic bandage, paper medical tape or toilet paper. Try covering the wrap with a sock to make it more secure. Try laying a piece of toilet paper over the design, then wrapping the area with an elastic bandage. If you want to use plastic wrap, be sure to wrap with toilet paper first to soak up any perspiration and to prevent smudges. Know that henna stains textiles like clothing, sheets, and towels. If you leave the paste on overnight, wrapping may protect your sheets. Some claim that wrapping is the only way to care for a henna design, but others say that you only need to wrap your ink if you've gotten extensive work done. Use room-temperature water and mild soap. Dab the stain with a gentle cloth. If you rub the design at this early stage, it might begin to fade more quickly.
Summary: Don't touch the design directly after it's applied. Leave the henna paste on your skin for as long as possible. Use sugar and lemon juice. Try to keep your skin warm and moist. Wrap up the design. Wash off any dry henna flakes.

Problem: Article: Even if you don't feel like it to begin with, these actions can help you endure a fast. These will help you get through the day, and (if you're fasting) keep your mind off the hunger. During the 40 hours it's possible you won't feel especially hungry. You may, however, feel tired or lethargic. In this case, limit yourself to quiet, fairly stationary activities. Try to sleep long hours, particularly on the second night. This is a good way to help the time go by. Meet up with your friends for meals (if appropriate), a sporting event or a shopping trip. The more you take your mind off the challenge, the easier it is. reading, drawing, studying or homework. Carpet is preferable to something harder. Decide for yourself whether pillows and blankets count as furniture.
Summary: Drink water frequently and eat some hard candy every few hours. Watch some movies. Conserve energy if you're fasting. Sleep. Go out. Don't talk about it. Do some indoor activities: Find a good place to sleep if you've given up furniture.

Problem: Article: Fold the paper in half diagonally, making sure to be crisp and accurate and crease along the fold. Fold the top edge down to the center so that the edge rests along the line from the previous fold. Do the same with the bottom edge so that both edges of the paper meet in the center. Then open the sheet of paper again. The paper should now have one line going diagonally across and three horizontal lines dividing the paper into quarters. Fold them to the line from the last step, the horizontal line closest to the top. The corners will make a right triangle when properly folded; the bottom of that triangle should sit on the horizontal line, and the diagonal line from the first step should cut the triangle exactly in half. Repeat the same motion as above: bring the top corner of the paper down to the horizontal line, and fold it so that it forms a triangle whose base sits on that line. However, this time you will have an obtuse rather than a right triangle. The base of this triangle should be the same crease that was the hypotenuse of the right triangle, above. After this step, the overall shape of the paper should be a rectangle half the size of the original square. However, there should be triangular holes from where the corners were folded over. This time, use one of the other corners - if you folded in the top right and bottom left corners in the previous steps, this time use the bottom right corner. Bring the corner to the top center of the rectangle, forming a right triangle as tall as the rectangle. Pick the corner opposite the one you just folded - the only corner that has not yet been folded - and mirror the last step with this corner, bringing it to the bottom center of the rectangle. The fold should form another right triangle adjacent to the one from the previous step. Unfold the two triangles you just folded. Using the bottom right corner again (the one you just unfolded), refold the exact same fold, but this time, rather than folding it on top of the flap of paper from the double-folded corner, slide it underneath. Refold and the top left corner to the center, but this time tuck it under the flap from the double-folded, bottom left corner. Your paper should now be in the shape of a parallelogram, with each corner folded into another so that the whole piece holds together. The back should be smooth (no papers tucked in anywhere) and should have two lines cutting it in half, one horizontal and one diagonal (parallel to the sides). The bottom right should be one of the "pointy" corners (an acute angle). Fold it to the top right corner, so that the tip meets the angle of the top right corner (an obtuse angle). Essentially, you're folding the vertical side in half, but since it's a parallelogram, not a rectangle, it looks like you're folding in a corner. The bottom of the triangle created by the fold should sit at a right angle to the vertical sides of the parallelogram. Fold the top left hand corner to the bottom center. The paper should now be a perfect square. Unfold the last two folds you made so that the sides stick straight out from the square base, rather than laying flat atop it. Each of these will form one side of the cube, with the two triangles sticking off at right angles serving to connect each side to the rest. You started with six squares of paper, so you should have six folded squares in total. Different color paper was use in this example to clarify the visual instructions. Multiple colors of paper are not required.
Summary:
Start with a square sheet of paper. Open the sheet and then fold it in half horizontally. Open the sheet of paper. Fold in the two corners along the diagonal line. Fold in the corners again. Fold the top and bottom edges down to the center. Fold the bottom corner toward the top center. Fold the top corner to the bottom center. Open both previous folds. Fold and tuck the bottom corner under the flap of the center. Repeat with the opposite corner. Flip the piece over. Fold the bottom right hand corner to the top center. Repeat the above step with the opposite corner. Repeat the above steps with each piece of paper.
