Peel an apple with a sharp knife, then grate it with a cheese grater. Finely chop an onion and crush a few garlic cloves. Mix the apple, onion, and garlic together in a bowl. Make sure all of the ingredients are equally distributed. The key here is to keep the ingredients from becoming "mush." As an example, you will want the consistency to be more like chunky tomato sauce, rather than ketchup. Place a pan on the stove, and pour in about two tablespoons of olive oil. Dump the ingredients into the pan once it is hot. Begin to stir them with a spoon so that all of the ingredients receive some heat. As you are stirring, feel free to add more olive oil if you feel as if the ingredients start to stick to the pan. If you are using a gas stove, keep the heat at medium. Once the mixture starts to cook, add 1 tablespoon of sugar, a small jar of tomato sauce, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Flavor the dish with pinches of salt and pepper. Continue to mix the ingredients together as you add them. Use a tomato sauce that is chunky as an added dimension to your dish. If you are not a fan of soy sauce, you can use Worcestershire as a substitute. Turn your pan to low, mid-low. Let the ingredients heat up, as you continue to stir them every few minutes. Once the ten minutes is up, turn the stove off. Place the pan somewhere safe to cool down. As your ingredients are simmering, feel free to add olive oil if your ingredients start sticking. Always remove ingredients at any time you see them beginning to burn. Tilt your lid to the side if you think the pan is too hot. Let some of the hot air release before you put the lid back on. You can either pour the sauce over the pap with a spoon, or serve it on the side. Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, and some added spices. Feel free to chop up some tomatoes, or other vegetables which might compliment the dish.

Use a resistance band that forms a closed loop. Drape the band over your pull-up bar and feed one end through the loop. Pull the end down to secure the band to the pull-up bar. Place your foot in the resistance band and hold onto the bar so your hands are shoulder-width apart. Pull yourself up so your chin is over the bar. Hold the position for 1 count before lowering yourself back down. Try doing about 12 sets of 510 assisted pull-ups. The resistance band will lower the resistance needed to lift your bodyweight so you can do pull-ups easier. Switch to bands with lower resistance as you get more comfortable lifting your bodyweight. Once you feel comfortable using the lowest resistance band, you can probably try doing a pull-up without one. Hang from the bar with your arms shoulder-width apart and your feet off of the ground. Touch your shoulder blades together and bend your elbows to pull up your bodyweight. Try to pull yourself up as far as you can in a slow and controlled motion. When you feel like you can't lift yourself up anymore, straighten your arms and relax. Try to do as many partial pull-ups as you can.Doing partial pull-ups are a great way to check your progress so you can see how much stronger you've gotten. One day, you may even try a partial pull-up and end up doing your first full one!

Go to your local hair care store, and you can find extensions for your hair of all different colors and textures. Choose whatever type of synthetic braiding hair suits your liking. Some popular brands for micro braiding are Wet and Wavy and Milky Way Que. Rat tail combs are perfect, but any comb with a sectioning tool at the end will work. If you don't have this kind of comb, you can buy one from a hair care store, or you can use a regular comb and the end of a pen or a bobby pin to part and section your hair. You will use these scissors to trim the loose pieces of hair from the ends of the braids. If you do not have hair cutting scissors, you can use regular scissors as well. You will use the spray bottle to wet the roots of your hair so that you can part your hair into clean sections. If you do not have a spray bottle, you can wet the section of hair with your fingers and water. Any plain hair gel will work. You will use the gel to slick your hair before you add the extension to your hair and braid. The gel can also be used on the ends of your new braids to keep them slick. You want your hair to be as healthy as possible before you braid your hair because putting micro braids in your hair can damage it. Deep condition your hair a few times before you do your micro braids. You can also do a hot oil treatment on your hair to protect it against damage. Once again, you want your hair healthy, and you don't want to braid your hair with split ends. So go to a hairstylist, and tell him/her that you are getting your hair cut for micro braids. You will probably just want to get your ends trimmed. Avoid any hair cuts with layers or thinning.

You need a plastic or glass container that's completely airtight to lock in moisture and prevent any brine from evaporating. If the original container is tight enough, leave the cheese in it. However, if it doesn't reseal well after opening it, move the cheese to a container that can be closed completely. If you move it to a new container, be sure to label the container with a permanent marker or sticker. Write down the type of cheese and the date that you bought it so you know how long to keep it. When transferring your cheese, keep any original liquid, too. Don't drain the cheese. The drawers in your refrigerator have the most consistent temperature and humidity so the cheese won't get too cold or too dry. The best drawer is the one closest to the bottom of the fridge. Ideally, your refrigerator temperature should be set between 35 and 45F (2 and 7C) for cheese-keeping. If you're having trouble using up your cheese before it goes bad, consider buying cheese in smaller quantities. Throw away cheese if there is any mold or if it smells funky. Mold on soft cheese is a sign it's not safe to eat. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to replace the brine if you only use a clean utensil to reach in and remove cheese. But as soon as you dip a dirty utensil or your fingers into the brine, you'll want to change it out. Drain the old brine with a cheesecloth or strainer over the sink. Then, fill the container with new brine and seal it tightly before placing back in the fridge. Make your own brine by dissolving 1 tablespoon (15ml) of salt in 3 cups (710ml) of water. Stronger brine will preserve the cheese for longer. But keep in mind that the more salt you put in the brine, the saltier the cheese will taste. Don't swap fresh water for brine. Water will dilute the flavor of the cheese and cause it to spoil faster.

Transfer your soft cheese to a tightly sealed container if necessary. Keep the cheese in a fridge drawer for no more than 2 weeks. Replace the brine only if it gets contaminated with a dirty spoon or hand.
