Problem: Article: Use pure beeswax pellets or shavings into a microwave safe glass jar or dish. Add almond or coconut oil as a "carrier oil" to help balance out the mint and make the lip balm smooth. Use pure almond oil or coconut oil based on preference and availability. You can find these in grocery stores and natural beauty suppliers. You can purchase beeswax online or in some health food or beauty supply stores, either as a block or in small pellets. Add pellets directly to your glass container, or shave off small pieces of a block with a knife or grater before adding. Add more beeswax if you prefer a firmer, longer-lasting lip balm, or less if you like your lip balm softer and smoother. Put the glass container with your ingredients into the microwave. Heat for about one minute or until melted. Microwave heat and settings vary, so you may use more or less time to melt the ingredients to a liquid so you can pour the mixture later. You can microwave in 10 second intervals and stir in between to help ensure that the beeswax melts into the oil. Use oven mitts to remove the glass container from the microwave, and use caution with the hot dish and its contents. Children should have help from an adult for this step. Start with just a few drops of peppermint or other mint essential oil that's of a pure, food grade quality. Then stir and add more drops of essential oil to preference. A small amount of peppermint essential oil can go a long way to create a scent and tingly flavor. However, too much can actually create a burning sensation on your lips, so add it carefully, especially if you are only making a small batch of lip balm. If you need to test the consistency or amount of mint in the balm, you can transfer a small amount to a piece of wax paper and let it set in the refrigerator. Test it once solidified, and if you need to make adjustments to your main batch, just reheat it before adding anything. At this point, you can also add powder from eyeshadow or blush if you'd like your lip balm to contain a tint of color. Stir it in until combined evenly.
Summary: Put beeswax and carrier oil into microwave safe glass. Microwave your ingredients. Add in mint essential oil and stir.

Problem: Article: Almost anything can be broken up into a process and turned into a process document. Some examples include: Making pasta Learning to drive Writing a letter Performing a drum roll Think about all of the resources that your readers will need in order to complete the process you want to describe. Understanding the resources involved will come in handy when deciding how to describe each of the steps. Some examples of necessary resources include: Making pasta: water, pasta, salt, cooking pot, colander, heat, time Learning to drive: vehicle, teacher, time (both learning and practicing), knowledge of traffic laws Writing a letter: writing and spelling skills, paper, pen or pencil Performing a drum roll: drum set, drum sticks, some experience playing the drums, time Before you move any further, you should take some time to think about who your audience is and what they already know about your subject. This knowledge can help you to determine what information you need to include and what information you might be able to leave out. For example, if you are writing a process document about how to cook pasta for a general audience who may or may not know how to cook, then you will probably want to define terms like "al dente" and describe what is meant by a "rolling boil." Every process document needs a clear title explaining what process you are detailing. To determine what you should call your process document, think about what you want your readers to learn how to do. For example, you might call your process document "Make Pasta," "Learn to Drive," or "Write a Letter." Use the imperative form for your title and steps. Your process document should start with a present tense verb, such as "make," "cook," "learn," or "write." You should continue to use this tense to describe the steps in your process. The introduction of your process document will give you a chance to explain what the document will offer and attract your reader's attention as well. In your introduction, it is a good idea to create a sense of urgency so that your reader will want to read on. Try to create a problem for your readers and then offer to solve it. For example, when introducing a process document that explains how to make pasta, you might say something like, "Cooking pasta may seem easy, but it is easy to overcook or undercook pasta. This is a problem because pasta that is too chewy or too soft can be unappetizing, no matter what kind of sauce you put on it. But if you make pasta the right way, then your pasta will be as impressive as your sauce."
Summary: Identify the process. Figure out what resources your readers will need. Consider your audience. Create a title. Use your introduction to attract your readers.

Problem: Article: The kind of party being thrown will dictate the things that need to be available for the party to be a success! A dance party isn't much of a dance party without music, a wine tasting party could benefit from an intriguing vintage, and almost every large party needs ice at some point. By anticipating needs, you can prove to the host that you'd be a welcome addition to the party crew. There are cost effective ways of doing this, like making a dish to pass, or bringing suitable beverages. Think carefully about what you can bring to make the party even better, or bring a specific gift for the host that takes her tastes into consideration. For example, you might: Bring seasonal gifts, like a plastic pumpkin of Halloween candy, eggnog, winter themed treats, or cold drinks in the summer. Give a mixology set as a present for when the party gets started, but only if age appropriate. A dish to pass or snacks to contribute. Now that you've figured out a worthwhile contribution, bring it up to the party host or organizers. For instance, if you have a delicious recipe for chocolate chip cookies, you can simply say something like: "Emily, I heard about your party. Sound super fun! If you need any dessert, I make killer chocolate chip cookies - my grandmother's recipe. Everybody love them!" "So what are your plans for the weekend? Oh, a party? Well, if you need dessert, I have the best recipe for homemade chocolate chip cookies." If your offer matches the needs of the party or the tastes of the host, you'll almost certainly be invited! This scenario has the added benefit of not only getting you legitimately invited to the party, but you'll also be appreciated for your contribution to it! There's always a possibility, whether due to your associations or the hosts perceptions, that you might be denied. Getting angry in this situation rarely does anything positive for your reputation. Be polite and have fun on your own.
Summary: Anticipate the needs of the party. Add to party supplies or bring a gift for the host. Mention your potential contribution to the host. Accept the invite, or politely accept being turned down.
