Q: If you love coconut flavor, make your ice cream more intensely coconutty by adding actual shredded coconut. Spread unsweetened shredded coconut on a baking sheet in a thin layer. Bake it at 350F (177C) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it toasts and turns golden brown. Stir it into the ice cream toward the end of the churning process, before it is completely frozen. The texture of untoasted coconut is not nearly as pleasant as that of toasted coconut, so it's not advisable to use plain untoasted coconut. Sweetened coconut could cause the ice cream to taste overly sweet. Coconut ice cream is a great base for all your favorite mix-ins. Any mix-in you'd enjoy with vanilla ice cream will taste equally good paired with the mild, sweet coconut ice cream. Add mix-ins toward the end of the churning process, before the ice cream is completely frozen. Try one or more of the following: Crushed cookies Chocolate chips Frozen berries Sprinkles Candies If you're craving flavored ice cream but you can't eat dairy, try using coconut ice cream as your base for a different flavor. Again, coconut is mild enough that it can act as a delicious blank slate, just like vanilla. When you pair its creamy, rich flavor with your other favorites, you won't miss the taste of dairy. Try adding one of these flavors to your ice cream mix before you put it in your ice cream maker: 1/2 cup chilled espresso (caffeinated or decaffeinated) 1/2 cup lemon, grapefruit or orange juice 1/4 cup cocoa powder or chocolate syrup
A: Make it more coconutty. Swirl in your favorite mix-ins. Add another base flavor.

Q: The ingredients found in many shampoos, conditioners and other hair products can be damaging to hair. Even if a product says it will repair damaged hair, it could be doing more harm than good. To make absolutely sure that you aren't harming your hair, consider buying your products from a natural grocery store instead of a drugstore chain. You can also save money by making your own hair products. Try making shampoo, conditioner, or hair gel at home. Avoid hair products that contain sulfates, silicones, or alcohols. These ingredients are harsh on hair. If your body is dehydrated, it will show in your hair. Drink plenty of water to keep your hair looking healthy and hydrated along with your skin. As a general rule, aim to drink water whenever you're thirsty. Instead of reaching for coffee or soda, choose water for the best health benefits. Try taking a water bottle with you during the day so you'll always have water on hand if you're thirsty. If you dislike drinking water, try drinking herbal iced tea or another sugar and caffeine free drink. Your diet has a big effect on the health of your hair. If you're deficient in a certain vitamin or nutrient, your hair will be one of the first places it shows. In order to grow healthy, vibrant hair, make sure your diet includes plenty of the following: Protein, such as lean meats, beans, and dairy. Omega 3 fatty acids, as found in salmon, sardines, flax seeds and walnuts. B vitamins, found in meats and other animal products. If you're a vegetarian, consider supplementing your diet with vitamins to make sure you get all the nutrients you need. The sun, pool chemicals, and air pollution can all be hazardous to your hair. Protecting your hair from these environmental elements can make a big difference when it comes to restoring your hair to health. Take the following precautions to save your hair: When you go out in very strong sun, wear a hat. When you swim in a pool, wear a swim cap. If you live in a place with high air pollution, wear a hat or try wearing your hair in a protective style, such as braids. As you change your habits, you'll start growing in healthy, vibrant hair. It may take awhile to see a huge difference, especially if your hair was very damaged to begin with. Getting regular trims is a way to get rid of old, dry hair and allow you to see the progress you're making.
A: Use all-natural hair products. Stay hydrated. Eat nourishing food. Protect your hair from the elements. Get regular trims.

Q: Do not enter a house or other building affected by fire until you have received word from a professional that it is safe to do so. How soon after a fire you are allowed back in the building will depend on the severity of the fire and the measures employed to put the fire out. Assess the damage to your belongings once you are back inside. Decide what you want to try to clean, and what you need to discard. As soon as possible, open windows in each room for increased ventilation and bring in a small fan to increase the amount of air flow into the room. This will help clear the building of any residual smoke, minimize the smoke odor, and provide fresh and soot-free air for you to breathe. Run a dehumidifier with the windows closed if you live in a climate with warm, humid weather and have associated water damage along with smoke damage. In this situation, multiple powerful fans will be key. Change your furnace filter daily if your heat is running. Do this until it the filter shows no soot. Fans and dehumidifiers will help with this task. However, if water hoses were used to put out the fire, it may be best to hire professionals to do fire/water damage combination cleanup. Contact your insurance company for approved restoration contractors that you can contact. Visit the Better Business Bureau website or Angie's list to find trustworthy contractors. If you attempt to dry out your house yourself, beware of any mold or mildew underneath beneath carpets and floors. Remove all carpets from the home. The presence of mold can be a serious health risk and can damage your floors beyond repair. If possible, invest in some large swamp fans to help dry and air out your home.
A: Get permission from a fire marshal to safely re-enter your home. Allow fresh air to circulate. Dry wet items before attempting to clean smoke damage.

Q: They're sold at most pharmacies and beauty supply stores, and there are a ton of different brands and styles on the market. If your goal is to make them look natural, you want to avoid the dramatically long, the unnaturally spiky, and the outrageously full ones. If you want them to look real, bigger is not necessarily better. Choose a pair that look like your dream natural eyelashes. If you can't find any that look natural in the store, check online. You will endless options if you order online, and you can also read reviews from others who have tried particular brands or styles. For most people, your false eyelashes won't be ready to go right out of the box. First, you'll need to trim them so that they fit your own, unique eye perfectly. Before applying any glue to them, hold them up to your eyelid and determine how much you'll need to trim off the end. Use small scissors to carefully cut the lashes. The finished lash strip should be the same length as your natural lashes. If you skip this step, the extra length will rub against your skin as you blink and cause the eyelashes to come loose. Not to mention they won't look very natural! There is a bit of a debate about which eyelash glue is best, so you can weigh your options. Some pairs of eyelashes come with glue, but often you'll need to buy your own. Eyelash glue is sold at pharmacies and beauty supply stores in small tubes that you can use for many applications. The most common type of eyelash glue comes out of the tube white and then dries clear. If you're skilled at applying false eyelashes, you can apply them carefully and avoid any clumps of glue showing. You can also purchase black eyelash glue. This works well if you line your lash line with dark eyeliner before applying your lashes, because any black glue will blend into it.
A:
Purchase a natural-looking pair of false eyelashes. Trim your eyelashes. Buy the proper eyelash glue.
