Q: Measure out a quarter of your beans and place them into the blender pitcher. Set your blender to the grind or low setting. Put on the lid and pulse the beans in two-second pulses for about 10 seconds. Add the next quarter of beans and repeat. Continue until you have the right quantity of coffee and the right consistency, about a minute. When you're done grinding, wash the blender thoroughly to remove the coffee aroma. A blender is ideal for grinding coffee in a pinch, but you won't get a consistent or fine grind. A blender is great for achieving a coarse grind. Pulse the beans only in short bursts to prevent the blades from heating up and cooking the beans. Measure your coffee beans and transfer them to the food processor. Grind the beans using five-second pulses for 10 to 20 seconds. Check the consistency of the grind, and continue processing the beans in short spurts until you have the consistency you want. Disassemble and wash the food processor when you're finished, otherwise, the coffee smell will linger. Like a blender, a food processor will only give you a coarse and uneven grind, but the coffee will still be drinkable. Place the beans into a tall and narrow container. Insert the blender into the container and cover the top with your hand to prevent the beans from flying out. Blend the beans for 20 to 30 seconds. Check the grind and continue processing in 10-second spurts until you achieve the right grind. Rinse and wash the immersion blender and container right away to remove the coffee oils and scent.
A: Blend the beans. Use a food processor. Try an immersion blender.

Q: Whomever is getting the massage should remove any makeup that they have on. Makeup clogs the pores and will interfere with restorative massage products that you will be using on their face. You might suggest that they wash their face in a shower just prior to the massage. Since you'll be working with them closely, they will want to be as fresh and clean as possible. This will also help them feel less self-conscious and relaxed. No one wants to be worrying about whether they have body odor while they are getting massaged (and you don't want to be smelling it either!). Ideally you will have a massage chair or bed, but if not a normal comfortable chair is fine. Just make sure that the surrounding area is neat and tidy. It is best if the area feels empty, with nothing besides you, the other person, and your massage tools.Take care of this in advance or while the person receiving the massage washes. Set out any clean pillows or towels that you and the other person may be using (a towel behind the head is customary). Be sure that they are clean and fresh.Make sure your milky face lotion, face mask, rinse, toner, and moisturizer are within reach if you will be using them. Gentle, relaxing music or calm ambient noises are used to set the mood during professional massages. Doing the same is very easy. You can also light scented candles or incense to further relax the mind and body. Be sure that the room is at a comfortable temperature.
A: Have them remove their makeup. Find a clean space. Lay out your equipment. Set the mood.

Q: To cope with feeling alone or lonely at night, find a way to entertain or distract yourself. If you truly enjoy your selected hobby, your time alone will be transformed from something you dread to something to look forward to. Consider the following activities to keep you busy: Reading Watching television Listening to music Writing You may have a difficult time sleeping alone at night because of feeling lonely, missing the partner you used to sleep with, or hearing strange noises. To cope with sleeping alone, turn off your television, tablet, or computer about an hour before bedtime to prepare yourself for sleep. You can also make falling asleep easier by: Avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and food too late in the day Avoiding stressful activities, like exercise, right before bed Keeping the room lights on low Playing soft music Using a sound machine or ear plugs to drown out other noises Keeping the room cool Using comfortable, soft bedding, like a body pillow Wearing a sleep mask or using curtains to block out light Getting up to read, take a bath, or drink hot tea if you find yourself tossing and turning Having a structured evening for yourself at home will help keep your thoughts from straying into loneliness when you're alone at night. Having a routine can also help keep you motivated and feel fulfilled while being alone. For example, if you come home from work at 5 p.m., you can schedule time for relaxation, exercise, dinner, socialization, and perhaps a hobby before bedtime. It can be helpful to keep a regular bedtime, although a perk of being alone is that you can go to sleep whenever you want! When you live alone or are alone at night, it may feel like a waste of time to make yourself a meal and sit down at the table to eat. However, making your meals special and keeping your mealtimes consistent is a good way to ward off loneliness at night. For example, if you're alone at night on a holiday, fix yourself the meal you typically would have had with your family or others. As you eat, you can relive special memories you have of that holiday and feel less alone. Although there may be many hardships or negatives to living alone and being alone at night, like having to take care of all the chores on your own, try not to dwell on those. Reminding yourself of the positives can help improve your state of mind. For example, being alone allows you to: Play whatever music or television shows you want to Clean up how and when you want to Decorate your house how you want to Have silence and time to recharge the way you want to Although being alone doesn't necessarily mean you're lonely, it's important to recognize and accept any feelings of loneliness or sadness you may be experiencing. Examine where they are coming from. Perhaps you're feeling lonely and alone because you're single, newly divorced, or widowed. It's important to express and understand these feelings so that you can then begin to feel more comfortable when you're at home by yourself. Journal in a diary Talk with a trusted friend Seek counseling if you're struggling with significant grief or loneliness from a loss or divorce
