If you feel the hot flash starting, get a cold drink, and sip it. This can help reduce your temperature and make you feel better. Avoid caffeinated drinks or alcohol, however, as these might worsen the hot flash. Take a cold or frozen object, and place it directly onto your neck, armpit, or forehead. You can use an ice pack, or you can stick a blanket, washcloth, pillow, or eye mask in the freezer until you are ready to use it. Using a spray bottle, spritz cool water onto your face to help you cool down, or splash some cold water from a sink onto your brow and cheeks. Thermal spring water spray can cool down the heat on your face while hydrating and soothing your skin. You can also buy special hot flash relief sprays that will feel cold when you spray them onto your skin. If you're at home, try getting into a cold shower to cool down. Wear light, loose layers of either cotton or linen clothing that you can easily remove when you start experiencing a hot flash. For example, you can wear a light tank top with a button-up shirt on top. When you start feeling hot, you can remove the shirt. Keep small electric fans around the house and office. When you're feeling a hot flash, turn them on, and direct the air towards your face and body. If you have air conditioning, you can turn it on and sit in front of a vent for instant relief. Panicking or worrying about the hot flash might make it feel worse. Instead, close your eyes. Breathe in deeply through your nose and out through your mouth. Do this for five minutes or until you have relaxed completely.

While you're removing the paint, you'll want to protect your hands from any chemicals. Wear rubber or gardening gloves and check them frequently for holes or tears. Now that the paint is loosened, it should be easy to remove with a sponge of steel wool. Once you've penetrated through the paint, stop scrubbing. You don't want to scratch the brass. If you start to notice any scratching, switch to a soft cloth to more gently rub off the paint. You can also scrape away the paint with your fingernails, if you don't mind getting them dirty. Use the flat edge of the screwdriver to carefully scrape off paint chips and strips that are sticking to the brass. Go in one direction only, and be sure to scrape away from your body. If your paint is sticking in small crevices or hinges, scrub those spots with a brush. These areas might need extra attention that can't be provided by your steel wool. Avoid wire brushes, as these may scratch the surface of your brass. Once your paint is removed, you'll need to clean the brass off once more. Wet a soft cloth and wring out the excess water, and then use the damp cloth to gently wipe away any paint residue. Your brass should now be free of paint, and this will complete the cleaning process. If you're dealing with older brass, you may now see a nice antique patina on the metal. Depending on your preferences, you may choose to leave that intact rather than polishing or waxing it away. If the paint still isn't coming off, you may need to address it with a chemical stripper. There are a variety of commercial liquids and gels you can apply to brass in order to strip the paint. You'll need to let it sit for a few hours, and then you should be able to wipe off the paint residue with a rag. Protect yourself from these substances by wearing gloves while you apply and remove it. Discard your gloves and any rags with chemical stripper on them in a metal trash can outdoors.

You can't marinate the entire chicken all at once. You want to marinate each strip of chicken separately so that each piece you eat will have a strong flavor. As you put the chicken pieces into the marinade turn them front and back so that the marinade gets on both sides. You don't need to roll it around in there, just make sure no part of the chicken piece is dry. Otherwise you risk the chicken piece drying out in the fridge. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of one hour and up to overnight. This will allow the flavor to really soak into the chicken. If you don't refrigerate the chicken you risk it going bad, so don't leave the marinade out on the counter. The longer the chicken marinates, the more tender and flavorful it will be. Try to plan ahead.
