Q: The ingredients found in many shampoos, conditioners and other hair products can be damaging to hair. Even if a product says it will repair damaged hair, it could be doing more harm than good. To make absolutely sure that you aren't harming your hair, consider buying your products from a natural grocery store instead of a drugstore chain. You can also save money by making your own hair products. Try making shampoo, conditioner, or hair gel at home. Avoid hair products that contain sulfates, silicones, or alcohols. These ingredients are harsh on hair. If your body is dehydrated, it will show in your hair. Drink plenty of water to keep your hair looking healthy and hydrated along with your skin. As a general rule, aim to drink water whenever you're thirsty. Instead of reaching for coffee or soda, choose water for the best health benefits. Try taking a water bottle with you during the day so you'll always have water on hand if you're thirsty. If you dislike drinking water, try drinking herbal iced tea or another sugar and caffeine free drink. Your diet has a big effect on the health of your hair. If you're deficient in a certain vitamin or nutrient, your hair will be one of the first places it shows. In order to grow healthy, vibrant hair, make sure your diet includes plenty of the following: Protein, such as lean meats, beans, and dairy. Omega 3 fatty acids, as found in salmon, sardines, flax seeds and walnuts. B vitamins, found in meats and other animal products. If you're a vegetarian, consider supplementing your diet with vitamins to make sure you get all the nutrients you need. The sun, pool chemicals, and air pollution can all be hazardous to your hair. Protecting your hair from these environmental elements can make a big difference when it comes to restoring your hair to health. Take the following precautions to save your hair: When you go out in very strong sun, wear a hat. When you swim in a pool, wear a swim cap. If you live in a place with high air pollution, wear a hat or try wearing your hair in a protective style, such as braids. As you change your habits, you'll start growing in healthy, vibrant hair. It may take awhile to see a huge difference, especially if your hair was very damaged to begin with. Getting regular trims is a way to get rid of old, dry hair and allow you to see the progress you're making.
A: Use all-natural hair products. Stay hydrated. Eat nourishing food. Protect your hair from the elements. Get regular trims.

Q: Find and print a set of small footprints or shoe prints; you can also draw them instead. Fill your paper with these prints, leaving space between each one. You will be using this template to trace your edible footprints, so use a size that appeals to you. Use a dark color, otherwise you won't be able to see the footprints through the parchment paper. You can pipe the footprints directly onto the plate instead. In this, click here to continue. How long this takes depends on how cold it is in your kitchen. Most candy melts will only take about 10 to 15 minutes. If you are using royal icing, this could take several hours to overnight. Stagger the footprints so that they look like the leprechaun was walking. Place them on a plate or onto other edible (sweet) foods, such as: cakes, pies, or pancakes. Don't use the "candy melts" ones on warm food, otherwise they will melt. Consider leaving behind some evidence, such as a chocolate coin or a few Skittles. Get creative with your leprechaun's path. Have the leprechaun walk around foods he doesn't like and step onto the food he does like.
A: Create your template. Allow the footprints to dry. Arrange the footprints.

Q: Avoid loud colors and sloppy clothing. Black, white, and/or grey are safe colors. If you choose to wear a skirt, you should wear skin-colored hose. Keep jewellery subtle, such as small stud pearls or gold studs. Pull back your hair from your face into a braid or a low bun. Wear a Polo and black pants. The spelling bee isn't really very dressy until the finals. Always wear black loafers. Just nicely brush your hair back, and you are set. Don't go to crazy on the tie. It can be hard to find comfortable dress shoes and clothes, but you don't want to be distracted by a pinching shoe.
A: Dress to look professional. If you are a girl: If you are a boy: Make sure your clothes are comfortable.

Q: You may love to sing, but be unsure how to use that skill. Maybe you are interested in writing but can't seem to find a way to engage this skill. Connect with people who may be able to help you find ways to use your skills. Ask friends, family, co-workers, and people your spiritual community about ways to open up your skills. Some community colleges offer career aptitude tests. While you may (or may not) use it to work toward your career, these tests can help you define your strengths and weaknesses. By asking around, you may find that your church would love for you to sing at services. You may find that you can write for your local newspaper or submit stories for local publications. Don't be afraid to ask! Perhaps you want to change careers but fear not having experience in the new field. Maybe you want to head back to work after being a stay-at-home mom, but feel like you have nothing to offer. Think about what skills you do have, and hype those skills up! For instance, a stay-at-home mom may have excellent organization skills, time management skills, taking charge, remaining calm under pressure, and the ability to multi-task. You can always learn knowledge, but value the skills you have and make them known! Practice the role tree exercise: Think about the roles you currently have in your life or have previously had, and write the skills that go along with those roles. See which skills overlap, which are most enjoyable, and which skills aid you the most in moving forward. One way to use your skills is through volunteering. Lots of great non-government organizations exist that do good for the community. Volunteering is an excellent way to discover your skills, too! Additionally, volunteering connects you with other people and can advance your skills. Volunteering is good for your mind and body, giving you a sense of purpose and increasing confidence. Start volunteering at an animal shelter. You may realize you love working with animals. Some people volunteer with at-risk children and recognize a passion to help these kids succeed. Maybe you are interested in behind-the-scenes work, and choose to volunteer as a light and sound manager of a local play. In addition to volunteering, being an active participant in your community can be fulfilling and useful. You can work or volunteer for your community center, serve on local government, or participate in a church or religious setting, based on the skills you want to use or develop. If you love design, create flyers for the community center; if you love singing, sing at your church. There are lots of ways to use your skills! If you are passionate and want to surround your life with your favorite activity, make a career out of it. Many artists know that the artist's lifestyle can be difficult, but choose to pursue it anyway because they cannot imagine doing anything else. Once your livelihood depends on using and improving your skills, you may find new ways to approach problems and different ways to creatively use your skills. If you're creative, pursue a career in acting, singing, dancing, or art. Or if you love working with your hands, consider becoming an electrician or builder. If you love flowers, become a florist.
