By softening the corn on your toes, you can minimize any pain or discomfort associated with it and making the area affected by the corn easier to exfoliate. Apply the castor oil using a cotton ball. Leave the oil on your corns for 3 to 4 minutes before rinsing it off and exfoliating the area. Repeat this up to three times daily. Instead of soaking your toes in a normal water bath, mixing in a little Epsom salt or coarse salt can help hasten the softening process. Coarse salt is also a mild abrasive, so soaking your feet in salt water can soften them while exfoliating some of the dead, dry skin on the surface of your corns. Dissolve about 1/2 cup (125 ml) of Epsom salt in 2 gallons (8 L) of warm water inside of a large bucket. Soak your feet in this salt water for 20 to 30 minutes. When done, scrub the corns with a pumice stone to exfoliate away as much of the dead skin as possible. Aspirin is a source of salicylic acid. You can crush the aspirin and apply it to the corn topically to dissolve some of the protein making up the corn and the layer of dead skin on top of it. Crush a single aspirin and mix it with a few drops of water, just enough to form a grainy paste. Apply this paste to the corns on your toes. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing off with warm water and drying. A paste made from baking soda, lime juice, and water can help hasten the recovery process for a corn on your toes. Combine a few drops of lime juice with a little water and about 1 tsp (5 ml) of baking soda. Mix until a paste forms and apply the paste to your corns. Cover with a bandage and rinse the paste off in the morning. Within 4 to 6 days, the corn should dry off on its own. Alternatively, mix 2 to 3 Tbsp (30 to 45 ml) of baking soda into a tub of warm water. Soak your feet for 15 to 20 minutes before rubbing the corns on your toes with a pumice stone. You could also mix the baking soda with a few drops of water to form a paste. Apply this paste to the corns, cover the corns with a bandage, and let sit overnight. Wash the mixture off in the morning. Chamomile can soothe the discomfort you feel while drying the sweat in between your toes and altering the pH of your skin, thereby speeding up recovery. You can apply a wet, warm tea bag of chamomile tea to the corns on your toes for 1 to 3 hours. Alternatively, let your feet soak in a small bucket of diluted chamomile tea for 15 to 20 minutes. When done with either method, you can try removing some of the corn with a pumice stone or emery board. Vinegar is an astringent, so applying it can cause more of the skin to dry up and die, giving you the opportunity to scrub it away with a pumice stone or emery board. Dilute the vinegar by a ratio of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water. Apply this vinegar solution to the corns and cover the corns with adhesive bandages or pads. Let sit overnight. It the morning, exfoliate the thickened skin with a pumice stone or emery board. Papaya can ease any pain or discomfort associated with corns, and oftentimes, it helps the corn to dry up and fall off faster. Slice a papaya and use a fork to mash some of the flesh. Apply this mashed papaya directly to the corns on your toes, cover with an adhesive bandage or bad, and let stay overnight. In the morning, the corn can be exfoliated again. Following this treatment can even occasionally cause corns to fall off on their own. Green fig juice can soften the corns, making them easier to remove, and mustard oil can help kill any bacteria that may otherwise cause infections. Apply the green fig juice first. Dab a small amount on with a cotton ball and let it dry on your skin. After the green fig juice has dried, you can apply a dab of mustard oil with a cotton ball, as well. This should help stop bacterial infections that could result if the exfoliating process leaves your skin cracked and cut. This mixture will soften the skin on your toes affected by the corn, making the corn easier to remove as a result. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory that can ease discomfort, aloe has healing properties, and bromelain is an extract taken from pineapples that has astringent properties. If you do not have bromelian, you could substitute tea tree oil, instead. Mix equal parts ground turmeric, aloe gel, and bromelian to form a paste. Apply this paste to the corns on your toes, cover it with a bandage, and leave the mixture on overnight. In the morning, rinse the mixture off and use a pumice stone on your corns.

Summary: Soften the corn with castor oil. Use an Epsom salt soak. Apply crushed aspirin. Make a baking soda paste. Try soaking the corn in chamomile tea. Dab some diluted vinegar onto the corn. Apply mashed papaya. Use green fig juice and mustard oil. Make a mixture using turmeric, aloe, and bromelian.

Overuse of extensions can cause loss of hair due to the pulling and extra weight on the hair strand. Give your hair a break once you take out the extensions.

Summary: Wait a week or two before you apply new extensions.

Customers are more likely to buy from you when your prices are straightforward and easy to spot. If you sell at craft fairs or through a physical storefront, the prices should be marked in front of the product and within the customer's direct line of sight. Most customers will not stop to inquire about the price of an item. Similarly, individual pieces of embroidery sold online should be marked clearly since many customers will not attempt to contact you to inquire about the price. If you sell embroidery that customers must order in advance, provide a price sheet that clearly lists the cost of base products, personalization, and so on. Make this price sheet easy to find, and stick with the prices you list to earn credibility. Offer prospective customers a range of options that may suit their price range better. For example, you could sell an elaborately embroidered piece made with the best materials at your highest price. Include elements of that design and use slightly lower quality materials to create something similar that can be sold at a much lower price. Sell the products simultaneously so that someone who cannot afford the higher priced product may consider the similar, lower priced product. If someone orders embroidery from you but cannot afford the price you quote, offer to reduce the price by reducing the cost. Let them know how much the price would drop if you used fewer colors, used fewer stitches, or made the embroidered section smaller. Special deals can be a good way to attract attention from new customers while renewing the interest of past customers, but they should not be relied upon. Special sales should only be used on a short-term basis. This includes buy-one-get-one offers and promotional gifts. Loyalty incentives should be more long-term. Examples include loyalty cards, referral discounts, and returning customer discounts. You can also offer permanent discounts on quantity. For instance, if the price of one embroidered bag is $25, the cost of three might only be $60, putting the price per bag at a discounted rate of $20. Once you set a price, be confident that it is the right price and let your prospective customers see that confidence. When dealing with customers directly, make eye contact and speak clearly. Never apologize for the price of a product. Showing confidence will inspire confidence. If you seem confident in your pricing, your customers will perceive that those prices are fair and that you know what you're doing. If you mumble or seem uncertain, customers are more likely to think that you're trying to sell them embroidery at a higher cost than necessary. They may walk away from the sale or try to haggle the price down.
Summary: Mark your prices clearly. Provide options. Offer incentives and discounts carefully. Be confident.
