Q: Squeeze a few drops of green food coloring into the punch bowl to instantly make the contents more St. Patty's appropriate. If your guests are of legal drinking age, you can offer up something with a little more kick, like green beer or whiskey. Guinness, Murphy's, and Jameson are especially popular brands of brew among lovers of Irish culture. Be sure to keep your alcoholic beverages where they'll be off-limits to younger partygoers. Arrange small pieces of broccoli, cucumbers, celery, and green bell peppers around a bowl of guacamole, spinach and artichoke dip, or herb-infused hummus. These items will fit in nicely with the green theme and give your guests something healthy to munch on while they mingle. Other hors d'oeuvres you could have on the menu include pesto pasta salad, meat and cheese pinwheels rolled in spinach tortillas, and cups of green Jell-O. For those with a sweet tooth, you could also set up a build-your-own cookie or cupcake bar complete with green icing, sprinkles, and candies for decorating. Hearty pub favorites like fish and chips and shepherd's pie can be prepped ahead of time and thrown together in a hurry. Another no-fuss option is to slow-cook an oversized batch of corned beef and cabbage in the crockpot the day before the party. Pair your offerings with boxty (potato cakes) and dig in! Bake and slice a couple loaves of soda bread to pass around with your Irish entrees or as a light dessert. These sorts of offerings tend to be pretty filling, so advise your guests to limit their pre-dinner snacking or bring a big appetite. Combine four parts strong black coffee with one part Irish whiskey, sweeten to taste with granulated brown sugar and top with freshly whipped cream. The melding of sweet, bitter, and creamy notes makes for an incredibly comforting after-dinner treat. Be sure to brew the coffee a little strong so the flavor will come through after you've added the other ingredients. You can whip up a non-alcoholic version of the beverage for those who aren't old enough to drink using Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer.
A: Ladle up some green drinks. Offer a tray of green finger foods. Serve up a few traditional Irish dishes. Wash down the meal with an Irish coffee.

If you have another layer to spare, add some padding behind your neck. Taking care of your basic needs helps your body relax and get ready for sleep.

Problem: Article: to your roots. Shake the container to activate the mousse's ingredients. Apply generously through your hair, carefully and evenly spacing out the mousse through each section of hair. For curly hair, find a frizz combating or curl producing mousse to use. For straight hair, find a volumizing mousse to enhance shine and presence. Allow the mousse to work its way through your hair and create beautiful and (seemingly) effortless shine. Comb or curl your hair according to the desired style. Use a flat iron to tame your hair cuticles. Flattened cuticles lead to more surface to reflect light. Choose a lighter hairspray that will help hold in the style. Using hairspray with mild to medium hold will create a natural look for your hair to be shiny and bold. Heavy or extreme hold hairsprays may create a rigid texture that looks stiff, not bouncy and lively. Instead of hairspray, consider a gloss or shine enhancing oil like argan oil for your hair. Pump a dime sized amount and run it through lightly. Your hair will be ready to shine all day!
Summary: Apply the mousse Blow dry your hair completely. Finish with hairspray.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't just ask any coworker. Ensure they are interested by reading their body language. If they are giving you signals that they may be interested in you, then proceed. These signals can be direct, like maintaining eye contact, smiling, or touching you while they speak. Or, they can be indirect, like touching their hair, neck, or face while talking to you. If they adopt closed body language, for example, turning away from you, avoiding eye contact, or any contact at all, then chances are they are not interested. If you are truly unsure if your coworker is interested, do not fret. You can try more direct contact like asking for their phone number to see how they react. Or, you could try telling them a joke to see if they laugh, and perhaps a conversation could start from there. Make your advances confidential. This will gain your coworker's trust and increase your rate of success. Do not make any big moves at the office, like being overly flirty, or suggesting you do something during work hours or at the office. This will likely scare them away. Before you attempt to ask them, get to know them first. Try to find things you have in common with your coworker besides work. Ask them about their hobbies or what they like to do on the weekend. Ask them what their favorite foods are, or ask them about the different places they have traveled to or would like to travel to.

SUMMARY: Ensure your coworker is interested. Be discreet. Move slowly.

Q: Add 1 cup (227 g) of unsalted butter that's softened to room temperature to the bowl of a stand mixer. Blend the butter on medium-low speed for 10 to 20 seconds to cream it. You can also mix the cookie dough with a handheld electric mixer. Add 1 cup (200 g) of sugar and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract to the butter. Mix the ingredients in on medium-low until they're fully combined. Reduce the mixer's speed to low. Slowly pour 1 cup (219 g) of all-purpose flour that's been sifted into the bowl, and blend until it is just combined and a stiff dough forms. This dough doesn't need to be refrigerated before rolling it out. However, if you aren't going to bake the cookies right away, you should store it in the fridge. Take it out about 5 minutes before you plan to make the cookies to soften it slightly.
A:
Beat the butter. Blend in the sugar and vanilla. Gradually mix the flour in.
