Simply scoop some shea butter up from the jar and rub it over your skin, focusing on the areas that are dry (such as the hands, elbows, and feet). Since it is very high in Vitamins A, E & F, shea butter aids in cell regeneration and circulation. Apply a small amount of shea butter onto the affected areas and massage it in, much like you would with any other lotion When treating stretch marks, use the shea butter twice a day. It makes a great moisturizer, and helps replenish the skin. You can also use it under your eyes if you have under eye bags or shadows. Because of its moisturizing qualities and high-vitamin content, shea butter is a great ingredient for many homemade bath and beauty products, including: Body butters, and melts Body scrubs Soaps and lotions Lip balms Shaving cream Warm a few tablespoons of shea butter over the stove or in the microwave. Massage it into your hair, focusing on the dry ends first and moving gradually upwards towards the scalp. Tuck your hair under a shower cap and wait 30 minutes. Wash and rinse the hair mask out, then follow with your usual shampoo and conditioner.

Lightly grease the inside of a 9 by 13-inch (22.86 by 33.02-centimeter) rectangular cake pan, then line it with two crisscrossing sheets of parchment paper. If you'd rather have a round pan, lightly grease the inside of an 8-inch (20.32-centimeter) spring form pan instead. Leave a few inches/centimeters of parchment paper hanging over the edge of your rectangular pan. This will make it easier to remove. If you are doing a round pan, lining the bottom with an 8-inch (20.32-centimeter) parchment paper circle would be a good idea. Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, then add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk everything together, then stir in the sugar. For a lighter, fluffier cake, try cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. Make a large well in the center of the dry ingredients first. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, water, white vinegar, vanilla extract, and melted butter, whisking well after each addition. Don't worry if there are a few lumps in the batter. For extra flavor, switch out the water for orange juice. Add some orange zest. Sweetened condensed milk may come in different-sized cans. A large (400-milliliter) can will give you a sweeter cake than a small (300-milliliter) can. Pour the batter into the pan. Use a rubber spatula to scrape out any leftover batter in the bowl. Gently tap the pan to help release any air bubbles. Place the pan into the center of the oven, and let it bake for 25 to 35 minutes. It is ready when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven using oven mitts or a potholder. Set it down onto a wire cooling rack, and let it cool for 15 to 20 minutes before removing it from the pan. To remove a rectangular cake: lift it out by the over-hanging parchment paper. To remove a spring form cake: undo the clasp on the side of the pan, then lift away the side wall. Use a long knife to cut the cake in half. Prepare some buttercream frosting, then use an off-set cake decorating spatula to spread some of it across the bottom later of the cake. Place the second layer on top, then frost the top and sides of the cake. Add some sliced strawberries to the center of the cake for more flavor. Instead of a buttercream filling, you could try chocolate hazelnut spread, or strawberry/raspberry jam. If you don't like buttercream, try chocolate ganache instead!

The most common symptom is pain experienced at the base of the finger or over the palm when trying to extend the finger. There is pain during extension or flexing of the finger because the tendon can no longer easily slide back out of the tendon sheath due to inflammation. If the inflamed portion of the tendon breaks free of its sheath, it may feel as if your finger is being dislocated. Typically, the dominant hand is more likely to be affected by the disorder. In particular, the thumb, middle, and ring fingers. Also be aware that more than one finger can be affected at a time. When the affected finger is moved or extended, a "popping" or snapping sound (similar to the sound of cracked knuckles) can be heard. This occurs because the inflamed tendon is being pulled through a tendon sheath that is too narrow. It will happen when you straighten it and when you bend it. Generally, stiffness will be worse in the morning. It is not clear why stiffness gets worse in the early hours of the day, but some suspect that this may be due to lack of cortisol (a hormone) at night to counteract substances that cause inflammation. This is similar to "gelling" which occurs in hip and knee arthritis inflammatory fluid builds up as you are not using the inflamed area at night and takes time in the morning to decrease that fluid. Generally, this stiffness will lessen as the finger is used throughout the day. You may find a bump, or have swelling at the base of the affected finger or in the palm, this happens because the swelling causes the tendon to become bunched up into a hard knot. The bump may also move when you move your finger because the tendon also moves when you move your finger.

Your birth date, wedding anniversary, phone number, and home address are obvious picks, so just do not use them. Instead, think of numbers unrelated to major events and addresses in your life to create your PIN. One technique that works for PINs is to divide them into two groups of two digits and treat each as a year - so that, say, 8367 becomes 1983 and 1967 - and then find some event that corresponds to each year. Each event should be something personal, known only to you, or something historical but relatively obscure. From these, devise an amusing and odd phrase linking the two events, from which the events themselves, and thus the dates, cannot be easily deduced. Write down this phrase rather than the PIN itself. Another way to create a PIN that is also easy to remember is to translate a word into numbers (like on a telephone keypad). Ex: Wiki would be 9454. ATM keypads often have letters printed alongside the numbers. Don't keep the same PIN for all your cards. Have a different PIN for each one, so that if you do happen to lose your wallet, it will be much harder for the PINs to be cracked.
