Adding glitter is a great way to dress up any pair of shoes. You can cover your entire shoe with glitter, or just a small portion (such as a heart or star shape). If you are glittering a pair of high heels, you can glitter just the sole part, and leave the rest of the shoe plain. Here's a list of what you will need: Shoes Mod Podge, Gloss Finish Fine glitter Painter's tape and newspaper Foam brushes or paintbrushes Plastic wrap Plastic bowl Spoon or stirring stick Acrylic sealer These will only get in the way of glittering your shoes. Taking them off will make your work easier, cleaner, and neater. You can always re-lace your shoes, or glue embellishments back on, later once the shoes dry. Soak a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and wipe down the area you will be glittering with it. Throw away the cotton ball when it becomes dirty and use a new one. Any surface dirt and oils may prevent the Mod Podge and glitter from sticking. Even if your shoes look clean, it might still be a good idea to wipe them down with rubbing alcohol. This will make your work neater and crisper. You may also want to stuff the inside of your shoes with newspaper at this time; this will prevent any glitter from getting inside your shoes. You can use a spoon or even a popsicle stick to stir it. The more glitter you use, the fewer coats you will have to brush on. You want the consistency to be smooth. If you use too much glitter, it will be chunky and difficult to spread. Your first coat will appear thin and not very sparkly. Don't worry, it will become more sparkly as you continue to add more coats. Brush the glitter glue onto the other shoe. You may also want to rinse off your brushes or store them in a plastic sandwich bag so that the glue does not dry out on the bristles. You are covering your bowl so that the glitter glue does not dry out. Once the glue on the shoes turns clear, it is dry. Be sure to let each coat dry before you apply a new one. For a fully-glittered pair, you will need about four coats. This, of course, will depend on how much glitter you used in your original mixture. This Mod Podge should not have any glitter in it. You are merely sealing the glitter in so that it does not shed everywhere. This can take a few hours, depending on how dry or humid it is. You can also use a shoe sealer or a waterproofing sprayjust make sure that it has a clear, glossy finish. If you spray your shoes with anything that dries matte, your shoes will lose their sparkle. Just because something feels dry does not necessarily mean that it is fully cured and useable. Some sealers will be cured in as little as 20 minutes to two hours. Some may requite up to six or more hours. If you took off any laces or embellishments, now is the time to put them back on.

If left untreated, mites can cause your mouse to itch and scratch constantly, making feel him worse and worse over time. Your vet will prescribe one of the available mite-killing medications. These medications can by injected (by your vet), given by mouth (by you), or put on your mouse's skin (by you). Follow your vet's treatment instructions carefully. A drug called ivermectin is a common mite-killing treatment for pet mice. Although ivermectin can be given by mouth or applied directly to the skin, skin application is the safer and more effective choice. If you are unsure how to give the treatment, ask your veterinarian to show you how. Since you will need to clean your mouse's cage, keep him in a separate cage with all of his necessities (food, water, toys) until he has finished treatment. Bedding is a common source of mites in pet mice. To prevent your mouse from getting re-infected with mites, remove and discard all of his cage's bedding. Clean and disinfect his cage before you put fresh and clean bedding in the cage. After removing the cage accessories, clean the cage with hot water, detergent, and a scrub brush. To clean the accessories, put them all in a large bucket filled with hot, soapy water and clean them with a scrub brush (not the same one you used to clean the cage). Use a second bucket to rinse the accessories before disinfecting them. Use an unscented dish soap. Clean the inside and outside of the cage. To disinfect, mix 1/2 tablespoon of bleach per 1 gallon of cold water. Put some of this solution in a spray bottle and spray the inside and outside of your mouse's cage. You can either wipe the cage dry after 2 minutes or let it air dry. For the cage accessories, add the bleach solution to another bucket and let the accessories soak for about 30 seconds. Let them air dry before putting them in the cage. When cleaning and disinfecting your mouse's cage, you should not be able to smell the cleaning agent.

An easy and efficient way to separate your crystals is by their finishing method. Some crystals have a shiny, smooth outside, and they go through a polishing process to tumble them. Raw crystals refer to stones that are not tumbled and still look as if they came out of the ground. Separate your crystals based on these categories before you place them in your storage solution. In addition, some crystals such as Selenite or Labradorite are really sensitive and can break easily. For instance, you can place all of your tumbled stones in a box and put your raw specimens on a bookshelf. If you collect crystals to use for their healing potential, you may find it helpful to group your crystals by color. Make a pile for any red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, clear/white, and black crystals. This way, you can easily pick out a perfect stone to use during your healing session. For example, if you want to feel more grounded and secure, select a piece of garnet to use while you're meditating. To increase clarity and focus, pick a piece of quartz to keep on your body throughout the day. If you have a few favorite types of crystals and have several in your collection, it may work best for you to sort your collection based on individual crystal type. You can also arrange your crystals based on size. Put the large crystals toward the back, and place the small ones along the front. For instance, do this if you have a lot of amethyst, tourmaline, or smoky quartz.
