Problem: Article: Put the vegan margarine in a mixing bowl. You can whip it in a standing mixer or use a hand mixer whatever you have in your kitchen. You want to beat the margarine until it's nice and fluffy, so take your time. This will get you the best texture for your frosting. Once your margarine is nice and fluffy, it's time to add the icing sugar. Don't pour it in all at once, however. Slowly add a bit of sugar and then whip it fully into the margarine. Then, add a bit more. Continue adding just a little at a time until the icing sugar and margarine are thoroughly blended together. Once the icing sugar and margarine are fully combined, add in your vanilla. Mix this in. Then, evaluate the consistency of the buttercream frosting. You may need a couple tablespoons of your non-dairy milk or you may not need much at all. You don't want your finished buttercream frosting to be overly dense, but you don't want it to be runny either! If you want chocolate buttercream frosting, add your cocoa powder now. The amount of cocoa powder depends on how chocolatey you want your frosting, so pour in a portion at a time and do regular taste tests. You can use your frosting right away. If you have leftover frosting, or if you simply aren't ready to use yours, pop it in the refrigerator. Once you decorate your baked goods, you will want to keep those in the refrigerator as well so that the icing keeps how you want it. You can save your frosting for 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
Summary: Whip the margarine. Pour in the icing sugar. Add the vanilla and non-dairy milk. Refrigerate your frosting.

Problem: Article: A homemade salt spray is easy to put together and you can use it to get the same kinds of waves that you have after a day at the beach. Put the following ingredients into a clean spray bottle: 1 cup of hot water 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or argan oil (or you can use a half tablespoon of each) teaspoon leave-in conditioner Use your normal routine for washing your hair. Use a towel to soak up extra moisture out of your hair. When your hair has fully dried, take out the braid. Give your hair a good shake. Then, apply some styling cream using the palms of your hands, and use your hands to scrunch through your hair some more.
Summary: Make a salt spray. Wash and towel dry your hair. Take out the braid and scrunch some more.

Problem: Article: Though it may be tempting to always apply foundation before any other makeup, doing your eye makeup first will prevent any smudging or running of your foundation. Get in the habit of doing your eye makeup first, followed by your foundation. If you have oily eyelids, you may want to apply eye primer to your eyelids with a clean makeup brush. The primer will help the eyeshadow stick to your eyelids smoothly and help the shadow stay on your eyelids. You may also want to apply a thick layer of loose powder under your eyes. This will make it easy to dust off any eyeshadow that falls on your undereye area. Lay out the three eyeshadows in front of you and position yourself in front of a mirror with good lighting. Keep tissue and Q-tips nearby as well to clean up any eyeshadow that gets on your eyelashes or face. You will need two clean eyeshadow brushes to create the gradient smokey eye look. You will use one eyeshadow brush to apply the three eyeshadows. You will then use the other eyeshadow brush to blend the colors once they have been applied. Look for brushes that are have small, rounded bristles to use for the eyeshadow. A blending brush is also a good option, which will often be small and have fluffy rounded bristles to make blending easier.
Summary: Start with a bare face. Get two eyeshadow brushes.

Problem: Article: To tune a piano, you will have to take it (partially) apart to get to the strings. Examine your piano and determine what size screwdrivers or other tools you'll need to take it apart. Expect the inside of the piano to be dusty. A feather duster or a few rags will probably come in handy. You also may want to grab a strong flashlight or other source of light. No matter how bright the room is where you're working, you'll have a hard time seeing once you get into the piano. Before you start working on the piano, play it a little with the panels off. Pay attention to which strings go with which keys, so you don't end up tuning the wrong string later on. It is relatively essential to have a decent understanding of music theory before you try to tune a piano. You should at least understand octaves and the relations of notes, because you aren't going to tune each note to perfect pitch. Rather, you tune the notes in relation to each other according to a concept called inharmonicity. The common tuning for most pianos is A440, meaning that the A4 is tuned so that sound waves vibrate at 440Hz. This is standard concert pitch in most of the Western world, although European tuning often is slightly higher at 442Hz. A mid-treble note, such as middle A, typically has 3 strings per note. Mute the first 2 strings so that only the third can be heard. Tune that string to match the tone on your chromatic tuner, then tune the other 2 strings to match that string. The other strings are called the unisons. When tuning the unisons, do it by ear don't tune the unisons using your software or chromatic tuner. Place your tuning lever on the top of the pin and make a very slight movement to turn the pin. You only want the tiniest of movements or you could snap the string, so you may want to practice first so you have good control of your tool. Remember the phrase "righty tighty, lefty loosey." If you turn the pin right (clockwise), you raise the pitch. Turning it left (counterclockwise) will lower the pitch. Avoid wiggling or twisting the pin. If it becomes loose or damaged you'll need to call in a pro and have it repaired. Steady hands are important. Make a slight turn, then check the tone. Keep doing this until the sound of the string and the tone you are getting from your chromatic tuner or software program are in sync. Once you've found the right tone, you need to set the pin so it doesn't easily slip out of tune again. Tighten the pin just a hair with a slight turn clockwise, then turn it even more slightly counterclockwise to loosen it back to correct pitch. It takes practice to get this delicate movement correct. Don't expect the first piano you tune to stay that way. After you've tuned several pianos (or tuned the same piano several times), you'll have a better feel for how to set the pin correctly. Once you have middle A, use middle A to tune lower A. Then use lower A to tune the note one fifth above, and so on. Move along the keyboard using these intervals until the entire piano is tuned. Unless you are working with a severely neglected piano that hasn't been tuned in years, you'll typically find that you don't have to tune all the notes. Before you replace the panels, give the piano a quick play to make sure it sounds okay and all the notes have stayed in tune. Especially if this is your first time, you may find that you need to go back and do a little more work on it.Even for professional tuners, some pianos can take several days to tune correctly, especially if they haven't been tuned in quite some time or if they are played heavily. Patience is key if you want to tune a piano.
Summary:
Gather basic tools to remove the piano's external panels. Get familiar with the strings and pins. Start with middle C. Turn the pin to tune the string. Set the pin. Tune in octaves relative to the first note tuned. Play the piano after you're done.
