Understand that two or more players but usually only two square off against one another. You can play games where you fight against two or more players, but the most common way to play is by squaring off against a single player. Your deck is your army, your arsenal. In a "constructed" deck one that you might use to play friends in an informal setting the minimum amount of cards is 60, with no upper limit. Players, however, usually choose to stick to the minimum of 60 cards. In a tournament setting, you might play a "limited" deck, which has a minimum number of 40 cards, with no upper limit. A player's 60- or 40-card deck is also called their library. These 7 cards compose a player's "hand." At the beginning of each turn, a player draws one card and adds that card to their hand. When a player discards a card, uses a card, or when a creature dies or a spell is destroyed, that card is put in a player's graveyard. The graveyard is a face-up pile that players usually place adjacent to their library. During the course of a game, a player can gain or lose life. Generally, having more life is better than having less life. Players deal "damage" to both creatures and to each other. Damage is dealt either by creatures or by spells. Damage is measured by the number of hit points it causes. If player one deals 4 damage to player two, player two loses 4 life. If player two started out with 20 life, she now was only 16 life. (20 - 4 = 16.) A player has lost the game when that player loses all of his or her life, or runs out of cards in their deck to draw, or has 10 poison counters. When a player's life total is at or below 0, that player has lost. When, at the beginning of their turn, a player can no longer draw any cards from his or her library, that player has lost. When a player has received 10 poison counters, that player has lost. White, Blue, Black, Red, and Green. White is the color of protection and order. The symbol of white is a white orb. White's strengths are a host of small creatures that collectively become powerful; life-gaining; reducing the powers of opposing creatures; and "equalizing" cards that wipe large swaths of cards off the board. Blue is the color of deceit and intellect. The symbol of blue is a blue water drop. Blue's strengths are drawing cards; taking control of opponents cards; "countering," or negating opponent's spells; and "flying" creatures or creatures that cannot be blocked. Black is the color of decay and death. The symbol of black is a black skull. Black's strengths are destroying creatures; forcing opponents to discard cards; making players lose life; and returning creatures from graveyards. Red is the color of fury and chaos. The symbol of red is a red fireball. Red's strengths are sacrificing resources for great power; dealing "direct damage" to players or creatures; and destroying artifacts and lands. Green is the color of life and nature. The symbol of green is a green tree. Green's strengths are powerful creatures with "trample"; the ability to regenerate creatures, or bring them back from the graveyard; and getting lands faster.

Rinse the grapefruit and pull off or cut away the peel. Hold the grapefruit over a bowl and use a knife to cut the segments of grapefruit from in between the white pith. Put the segments into the bowl with the juice that drips down. If you want to garnish the smoothies with fresh grapefruit, reserve 2 to 3 segments. Put the segments with the juice into the blender and add 2 cups (490 g) of frozen pineapple chunks, 1/3 cup (94 g) of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of coconut oil, and a 1/4 inch (6 mm) knob of peeled fresh ginger. If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can use any type of yogurt you have on hand. Keep in mind that if you use a low-fat or non-fat yogurt, the smoothie won't be as thick and creamy. Put the lid on the smoothie and turn it on to blend. Keep blending the smoothie until the frozen pineapple and ginger are incorporated. If the smoothie is looking too thick, pour in your choice of milk or non-dairy milk to make it as thin as you like. Remove the lid from the blender and pour the grapefruit detox smoothie into 2 serving glasses. Consider garnishing the smoothies with the reserved grapefruit segments, granola, or berries. Serve the smoothies immediately. Refrigerate leftover smoothies in an airtight container. Store them for up to 24 hours and blend or stir them before drinking them.

When using coconut oil on your hair, choose virgin or unrefined coconut oil. These coconut oils are less processed with no added chemicals, so they contain more nutrients that are beneficial and safer for your hair. High quality coconut oils are pure white when solid and clear when liquid. You can use either a solid or a liquid coconut oil as long as it is high quality. If your coconut oil is in solid form (as most products will be when you purchase them), warm 2 to 8 tablespoons (120mL) on the stove or in the microwave until the solid has turned into a liquid. Remove the oil from the heat right when it has melted completelyyou do not want the oil to get too hot, as you will be applying it to your hair. The amount you use is entirely based on how much hair you have. If you have short hair that is above your chin, for example, begin with 2 tablespoons (30mL) of coconut oil. If you have long, thick hair, you may need up to 8 tablespoons (120mL) to cover your whole head. Before applying the oil to your hair, gently touch the surface of the melted oil with your finger to make sure that it has not gotten too hot. If the oil is uncomfortably hot to the touch, wait a few minutes and test it again. Once the coconut oil has melted, dip your fingers into the oil and gently message it into a section of your hair for about 1 minute. Repeat this until all your hair is covered in the coconut oil. It might be a good idea to wear clothes that you don't mind staining with oil, or you can wrap a towel around your shoulders to protect your clothing. You can also apply the oil to your hair by slowly pouring it onto your head. To avoid making a mess, do this either in the shower or pour slowly while holding your head over the sink. To give the oil enough time to strengthen and add shine to your hair, leave it to rest in your hair for at least 30 minutes. You can leave your hair uncovered, or you can protect your clothes and surroundings by putting on a shower cap, or by lightly wrapping your hair in a towel. If your hair is particularly dry, you can leave the coconut oil in your hair overnight. To do this, cover your hair with a towel or shower cap. You may also want to cover your pillow with a towel so that the oil does not stain your pillowcase. After leaving the coconut oil to condition your hair for at least 30 minutes, wash it out thoroughly with your regular shampoo. If your hair tends to absorb a lot of product, you may need to shampoo more than once to keep your hair from looking oily after. Coconut oil tends to weigh a bit heavily in hair, so you will likely want to skip using a bottled conditioner for at least one wash after the coconut oil wash. For best results, apply coconut oil to your hair every week. If your hair is particularly damaged or dry, you can use a coconut oil conditioning mask up to 3 times per week. If your hair is oily, however, you will likely want to stick to 1 treatment per week.
