Summarize the following:
Get some nail polish remover, a cotton ball, and aluminum foil. If you don't have aluminum foil, a rubber band or hair elastic will do the trick just as nicely. What you really want is something that will hold the cotton ball in place against your fingernail. Let the polish sit for at least 5 minutes so that the remover can slowly loosen the glitter's grip on your nail. This will help you to remove the polish later more effortlessly. If you're in a rush, sit in the sunlight while you let your nails soak. The heat will slightly speed up the process, allowing you to remove the foil and cotton balls in 3-5 minutes.

summary: Gather your supplies. Let the polish remover soak into the glitter.

If you have young children, they will usually be happy making simple crafts like paper chains. Keep them occupied by challenging them to create new masterpieces or asking them to decorate something for you. Only let them do things that you trust them to do alone, or have an older child help them and watch over them if you can't be in the same room at all times. If there is a holiday coming up (big or small), give your kids some colorful paper and markers and ask them to make holiday-themed cards or decorations. Find something that could use some embellishment and ask them to decorate it. You can buy plain items like picture frames, t-shirts, birdhouses, or plaques at a crafts store, or you can find something around the house that could use a creative touch. You can use lots of ordinary household items as arts and crafts supplies. For example, have your kids make snowflakes out of paper plates, let them use old socks to make hand puppets, or task them with creating some creatures out of materials like empty tissue boxes, toilet paper rolls, and paper cups. You can also give them old magazines to make a collage. If your children are young, give them some coloring books or blank paper, provide them with lots of felt tip pens or crayons, and let them draw or color. If you don't mind them getting things messy, painting, either with brushes or with their fingers, is a great way for your kids to express themselves. Be sure to stick any of their creations on the fridge or a wall afterwards to show them that you are proud of what they have done. You can also give them some Play-Doh, along with lots of plastic cutters, and let them sculpt something. If your children like to dance, put on their favorite music and encourage them to make up their own dance moves. They could play Musical Statues, where they dance until the music stops. Get an older child to put on some music and operate the stereo/CD player. Musical Chairs is also a good choice. Try telling them to make up a dance routine that they can perform for you when you have finished cleaning or doing whatever you have to do. If your children are old enough, have them write down their stories or plays. If they are not old enough to write, you can write them down or ask an older child to write them down for them. You can incorporate an arts and crafts aspect into this activity by having children illustrate their stories or create puppets or costumes for a later performance. If your kids are having a hard time thinking of a story, ask them to make up a sequel or prequel to a story they already know. You can also try providing them with the first few sentences and then ask them to expand upon your story. You can also have kids work together by each telling a small part of the story, building off of what the others have already said.

summary: Encourage creativity with arts and crafts. Let them color or paint. Use music. Ask them to make up a story or put on a show.

Vinegar is such a strong smell that ants will often avoid it. Put some in a spray bottle to use around your kitchen. It's perfectly safe. Just clean your counters first. Then, spray them down lightly with vinegar. Let it dry. The smell will soon dissipate. In fact, spraying vinegar directly on ants may kill them. Reapply if you see more ants. Diatomaceous earth has been used as a natural deterrent for ants for years. It's non-toxic, so it's safe to use around kids and pets. However, make sure you get the food-safe variety, not the kind used to filter pools. Then just sprinkle it around where you've been seeing ants. One way to help reduce the number of ants is to use very hot water. The boiling water won't destroy the whole colony, but it will kill about two-thirds of it. Try about 3 gallons (11L) of boiling water for each large anthill you see. Be very careful with this method. You can be burned both by the water and the steam. An old-fashioned deterrent is bay leaves. You can find bay leaves on the spice aisle, and they are usually still whole (though you can buy ground, too). Spread them out on places where you see ants, and often, the ants will not go in that area.
summary: Try white vinegar. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth. Pour boiling water on mounds outside. Spread out bay leaves.
