Start by running the dryer for 10 minutes. This will soften the lipstick and make it easier to remove. You can alternatively use a hairdryer to heat up the specific spot which is being affected. This may be easier and more efficient to do. With the drum hot, wipe the lipstick with a soft, dry cloth. Switch which part of the cloth you wipe with frequently, to keep from spreading the lipstick any more. You can also try using a makeup wipe to remove the lipstick. Unplug the dryer and then soak a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol. Use this to wipe off the remaining lipstick. When you've removed as much of it as you can, rinse with a wet rag or paper towels. With the dryer rinsed out, run a load of old towels through a cycle in the dryer to remove any product which might still remain.

Summary: Warm the dryer. Wipe off as much as you can. Clean out the remaining product with rubbing alcohol. Run a cycle with old towels.

To make a scarf that is nice and light for wearing during warmer weather, select a fabric that is lightweight and gauzy. For example, you could use a rayon challis, cotton voile, silk gauze, or cotton batiste fabric to make your scarf. Make sure that the fabric looks the same on both sides. Otherwise, you will have a scarf with one side printed and the other not printed, which may look a bit odd. Most gauzy, semi-transparent fabrics will look the same on both sides You can use 1.5 yards (1.4m) for a moderate length scarf, or use 2 yards (1.8m) for a long scarf. The width of the fabric will depend on how full you want it to be. Try wrapping the fabric around your neck a couple of times to see how it looks with the current width. If it seems too full, then you could cut off some of the excess to lighten it up. A serger is ideal for finishing the edges on a gauzy fabric. If you have a serger, set your machine to the rolled hem setting and serge along the edges of the scarf using a matching color thread. If you do not have a serger, then you could fold over the edges of your scarf fabric by about 0.5 inches (1.3cm) and then sew a zigzag stitch along the edges to secure them. Make sure to sew over the raw (cut) edges of the fabric to hide this area and prevent fraying.

Summary: Choose a lightweight, gauzy fabric. Cut the fabric to the desired length and width. Finish the edges with a serger if you have one. Fold and sew the edges of your scarf if you don't have a serger.

You can find purple potatoes at most grocery stores, typically near other fingerling potatoes. Look for potatoes with a deep, true purple hue and without deep scars. Be sure to avoid potatoes with a greenish tinge, as they can taste bitter and even lead to digestive issues. Avoid placing your potatoes in the refrigerator, as this can affect their taste and color. Instead, choose a cool, dark, and dry place, like a pantry, to keep your potatoes. If you want to bag them, use a paper bag rather than a plastic one. If you can store the potatoes in an area that's 45 to 50F (7 to 10C), such as a basement, they'll stay fresh for up to several weeks. Although they taste great when cooked together, potatoes and onions should be stored separately. When raw, both onions and potatoes release gases and moisture, which can cause the other to go bad more quickly. Keep them at least a few feet apart in your kitchen. Place the potatoes in the sink and cover them with water. Let them sit for about 20 minutes, then drain the sink and rinse again before scrubbing. A lot of the dirt will fall away while soaking, which will save you scrubbing time. This is a great technique if you're washing a large amount of potatoes all at once. Take one potato at a time and wash it under cool, running water. Scrub the surface well using a brush or your hands, but don't use soap. To keep your potatoes fresh for longer, wait to wash until you're ready to use them.
Summary: Buy potatoes that are unblemished with a deep purple hue. Store purple potatoes in a paper bag in a cool, dry place for up to a week. Store purple potatoes away from onions. Soak the potatoes before scrubbing to save time. Scrub potatoes under running water to clean them.
