Q: Whether you machine- or hand-wash your gloves, expect each wash to add some amount of wear-and-tear to your grips. To lessen the impact of repeated washes, refrain from washing after every single use. Wash once a week or every other week unless they desperately need it. Since you're not going to be washing them after every single use, don't ball them up in your bag or locker. Bring them home and hang them up on a clothesline or drying rack so they can breathe. Allow any sweat or other moisture to air-dry with plenty of circulation to keep smells from building. Even if you air your gloves out after each use, expect lingering sweat to start stinking them up at some point. Combat this by stuffing them with materials that will absorb the smell when not in use. Handy household items that can be used include: New tea bags Dryer sheets Newspaper
A: Wash sparingly. Air them out after each use. Soak up smells with absorbent materials.

Q: This will make it easier to work with the cinnamon. Use a knife to carefully cut around the diameter of the branch. When scoring, try to cut the cinnamon into 3in (7.6cm) sections along the branch. Be careful not to cut all the way through the branchyou want to only score the cinnamon so that it becomes loose. Start at one end of the scored line and scrape upwards to remove the reddish-brown cinnamon. Go slowly using a paint scraper and try to remove the cinnamon in solid sheets. If the cinnamon crumbles as you peel it off, this is okay too. When you scrape the cinnamon off, it may have part of the inner core attached to it still. Carefully use a knife or paint scraper to scratch off the inner core. The tree's inner core isn't edible, which is why it must be removed. The inner core will be lighter in color than the cinnamon and very easy to distinguish.
A: Score the cinnamon layer into 3in (7.6cm) sections. Use a paint scraper or similar tool to scrape off the cinnamon in sheets. Clean off the cinnamon to remove the tree's inner core.

Q: Lift sections of hair from the top of the head so that the tips of the hair protrude from between your forefinger and middle finger. Trim the tips of the hair with the scissors at your desired length. Continue trimming the hair at the top of the head in sections until you've trimmed it to the same length. If the person has bangs, trim the bangs in sections for a neat and even line. Set the clippers to a long guard length, depending on how long you want the top of the fade, and buzz the entire back and sides. Continue trimming until each part of the hair is a uniform length. Use a vertical movement to cut the hair starting at the hairline and up towards the top of the client's head. Work against the grain of the hair to achieve an even cut. Lift the clippers up and outwards slightly at the end of each stroke as you get close to the rounded part of the person's head to help the cuts fade together smoothly. Switch to the next shortest guard and, beginning in the back, cut the hair in vertical strokes from the neck toward the crown. Stop just below the crown so that the hair on top of the head is left long. If you were using a #3 guard size, for example, switch to a #2. Blend any uneven lines that you notice by going back over them with the clippers. Start at the nape of the neck and cut in upward strokes toward the back of the head's center. Work your around the head's back and sides, pulling back at the same height for an even finish. Pull back with your clippers to blend the nape's short hair with the back's long hair. Shave the hair from the nape and below to create a clean, neat edge.
A: Trim the top with styling scissors. Trim the entire sides and back with a long guard size. Cut the back of the head with the next shortest guard. Buzz the nape with the shortest guard setting.

Q: When bad things happen to you, try to remember that things could be worse. This is not to diminish the pain of the things going on in your life: no, those things still suck. There's no changing that. But when you understand that things could be worse, you'll find it much easier to appreciate the things that you do have. So, knowing that you could lose so much more but that you haven't, take the time to appreciate the things in your life that make you happy. Hug your mom, tell your best friend how much they mean to you, and watch a sunset...because right now, in this moment, you're alive and that (in itself) is amazing and wonderful. If it feels like you don't have things in your life to appreciate or being happy about, then you need to go out and get some things to be happy about. Start volunteering, make a new friend, or do something you've always wanted to do. Our lives are short and we shouldn't spend them being bored and unhappy. Things will go wrong. It happens. It happens a lot, actually. But if you believe and understand that things go wrong, then you will know that things going wrong doesn't make the world end. Our problems will sometimes seem big, and they often are incredibly painful and difficult to handle, but (as the proverb goes) this too shall pass. You will have other problems and you will have other happiness. You can't change the past, you can't undo something that's gone wrong. All you can do is pick yourself up and move on. Take a new approach and fix the problem if you can. If you can't, just go on to the next thing. Giving yourself a new goal, a new purpose, and new successes will help you not care about the failures you have experienced.
A:
Realize that things could be worse. Appreciate the good things in your life. Believe that it is not the end of the world. Move on to the next thing.
