Problem: Article: Cut an avocado in half, then remove the pit. Scoop the flesh out with a spoon and place it into a bowl. Avocado is great in this mask because it contains fats and oils that help repair dry, brittle hair. Plan on needing of an avocado for fine/short hair, a full avocado for longer/thicker hair, and more than 1 avocado for very long/thick/dry hair. You will need 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and 2 tablespoons (45 grams) of honey. Olive oil and honey are both hydrating. While olive oil helps protect your hair against further damage, honey helps make it stronger. You can leave the essential oil out if you want to, but it will help give the mask a nice fragrance. It is also great for treating dandruff. You can do this using a stand mixer or a handheld mixer. Keep blending until the mask is light in color and smooth in texture. Get your hair wet first, then squeeze out the excess water. Apply the mask to your hair, starting from the ends. You can even massage the mask into your hair, if you want to. Don't apply the mixture to your roots if your hair is fine. Stop the application a few inches away from the roots. Pull your hair up into a loose bun first, then cover it with a shower cap. Blow dry your hair for 15 minutes. If it is a warm, sunny day, you can sit out in the sun for 30 to 45 minutes instead. Rinse the mask out with lukewarm water first. Once your hair is clean, wash it with shampoo and conditioner as you normally would. You can repeat this treatment once per week, but no more than that.
Summary: Peel and pit one ripe avocado. Add some olive oil and honey. Add 2 to 3 drops of lavender essential oil, if desired. Whip everything together on high. Apply the mask to damp hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap and heat it for 15 minutes. Rinse the mask out, then follow up with shampoo and conditioner.

Problem: Article: Fish supply stores offer two ways to get saltwater for your aquarium. One is by pre-made saltwater or getting a synthetic sea salt mix that you blend into the water. If you plan to mix your own saltwater, make sure you purchase the pre-made saltwater solution that you add to water that you supply. Get a dry synthetic saltwater mix. These generally come in tubs of 10 or 22 kilograms or 22 or 48 pounds. You'll need a larger container for bigger aquariums and a smaller tub for smaller aquariums. Keep in mind that even if you have extra, you can use the product to mix future batches of saltwater. Make sure you use a quality, reputable synthetic sea salt mix such as Instant Ocean or Reef Crystals. Just as your sea salt mix is important, so is the water for the saltwater aquarium. You can use tap water for a fish-only aquarium but need a different water source for reef aquariums. It is ideal to use reverse osmosis and/or deionized water (RO/ DI) for fish-only and reef aquariums. Be aware that you should only use tap water if its quality is excellent. It should be free of petroleum, organic compounds such as animal manure, or other chemicals introduced by humans' activities. You'll also need to dechlorinate and dechlorinate tap water before you blend it with the sea salt mixture. You can get products that remove chlorine and chloramines, such as Dr.Tim's Aquatics Aqua Cleanse, at fish supply and some pet stores. Purchase RO/ DI water at a fish or pet supply store. If you are interested, you can also purchase a system that produces RO/ DI water. Water and a sea salt mixture are the most important elements of blending saltwater for your aquarium. You'll need a few more supplies to ensure that the aquarium is safe for your fish and/ or corals. Make sure you have the following supplies before you start mixing your saltwater: Clean bucket or heavy-duty plastic storage bin Submersible aquarium heater Floating or battery-powered thermometer Small submersible powerhead or pump for water circulation Refractometer or hydrometer for measuring specific gravity/ salinity, which is how salty the water is Stirring tool
Summary: Buy a sea salt mix. Decide on your water source. Gather additional supplies.

Problem: Article: Mix 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil with 2 cloves of garlic that's been minced in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the garlic starts to sizzle, which should take approximately 3 to 5 minutes. You can add half a small onion that's been diced to the pan for extra flavor in the sauce. Once the garlic has started to sizzle, add a 28-ounce (794 g) can of crushed tomatoes. Mix until the ingredients are well combined, and then allow the sauce to simmer until it becomes thick, which should take approximately 15 minutes. Stir the sauce occasionally while it's simmering to ensure that it cooks evenly and doesn't scorch the bottom of the pan. If desired, you can mix dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper into the sauce before you simmer it. Add the herbs and seasoning to taste. Because crushed tomatoes don't usually come in smaller cans, this recipe is going to make more sauce that you need for a single pizza. If you're only making one pizza, freeze the leftover sauce in an airtight container for the next time. When the sauce has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Set it aside to allow the sauce to cool -- you don't want it to be hot when you start assembling the pizza. If you're short on time, you don't have to make the sauce for the pizza. Instead, use your favorite jarred pizza sauce or tomato-based pasta sauce.
Summary:
Combine the olive oil and garlic in a saucepan. Stir in the tomatoes, and simmer until the sauce thickens. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
