Whip the cream in a series of short pulses to work in plenty of air. Once the cream's thickened enough not to splash over the sides, pulse until it reaches the desired consistency. This typically takes 30 seconds, does not require chilling the equipment, and creates whipped cream that should last at least a couple hours. Do not blend for too long or on too high a speed, or the cream will become butter. If you catch signs of separation and coarseness early, you can sometimes fix it by whisking in a little more cream by hand. The colder the cream, the less likely it is to separate. Store the heavy cream in the coldest part of your fridge, typically at the back of the lowest shelf. When whisking by hand or an electric mixer, chill the bowl and the beaters in the freezer for at least 15 minutes beforehand. Metal bowls stay cold longer than glass bowls, and not all glass bowls are freezer-safe. If the weather is hot, place the bowl of cream in an ice bath. Whisk in an air-conditioned room. in a sieve over a bowl. Whipped cream leaks water over time, which is a major reason for runny collapses. Store it in a fine-mesh sieve so the water drains down into a container below, instead of breaking apart your whipped cream. Line the sieve with cheesecloth or a paper towel if the holes are too large to stop the whipped cream.

Embroidering with a sewing machine is a great way to get the look of a professional embroidery job. To use an embroidery sewing machine to monogram your shoes, you will need: A sewing machine with a computerized embroidery setting. A pair of shoes with a long tongue. Canvas material works best, such as a pair of Converse. Thread. Choose a strong, smooth thread, such as cotton. You can use any color you want. A pair of scissors. A seam ripper. An embroidery hoop. Sticky stabilizing backing paper. Sewing machines with computerized embroidery features usually include several different designs to choose from. Look through the designs to choose the type of monogram initials you want to embroider on your shoes. After you have selected a design, follow your machine's instructions to select your desired initials and set your machine to the recommended tension, stitch type, etc. If your machine does not have an automatic embroidery setting, then you can also try to do freehand monogram initials. However, keep in mind that this will be much more challenging and may not look as neat as the monogram that a computerized embroidery machine will produce. Try asking around to friends and family to see if anyone you know has an embroidery machine that you could borrow for your project. The only part of a shoe that you can easily embroider with a sewing machine is the tongue. This is the fabric under the laces on the top center of a pair of sneakers. To monogram the tongue of your shoes, remove the laces and pull the tongue out and away from the shoe. If there is a tag on the backside of the tongue, then you will need to remove it. Use a seam ripper to cut off the tag. You can do this but ripping the seams on the edges of the tongue and then removing the entire back side of the tongue. Next, place a piece of sticky stabilizing backing paper into your hoop. Make sure that you place the paper so that the sticky side is up. Then, press the tongue of your shoe onto the center of the sticky stabilizing paper so that it will stay put. If you do not have sticky stabilizing paper, then you can also use regular backing paper and use the hoop to secure the tongue of the shoe as well. However, this may be difficult if the tongue is not very long, so using the sticky paper is ideal. When the tongue of your shoe is secured on the sticky paper, you can begin embroidering. Make sure that you follow your machine's instructions for embroidering and monitor the sewing machine as it completes the monogram design. After the first shoe is finished, raise the needle and pull the tongue away from the paper. Trim any loose threads that you see. Monogram your other shoe and then replace the laces in both shoes to complete the project.

If you're trying to maintain silver hair that isn't natural, shampoo your hair immediately after bleaching it and condition your hair right after coloring it. After this initial shampooing and conditioning, leave your hair alone for 1 week so that it can recover and replenish any lost oils. If you wash your hair immediately after coloring your hair, then you risk dryness or breakage. Apply coconut oil to your hair, making sure to distribute it evenly. Leave it in for 1 hour, then wash it out with shampoo. You can also use a hair mask instead, as long as it can be used on dry hair. Leave the mask on for 5 minutes, or the time recommended on the bottle. For best results, use virgin, cold-pressed, un-refined coconut oil. Cover your hair with a shower cap to keep your surroundings clean. Focus the shampoo on your roots and scalp, and the conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair.

They can make your hair feel dry and fade hair dye. Choose a mask meant for color-treated hair. Wash your hair with shampoo, then rinse it out. Apply the mask to your hair while it is still wet. Wait 3 to 5 minutes, then rinse the mask out. Use a sulfate-free hair balm if your hair is naturally gray. If you can't find a hair mask meant for color-treated hair, look for a hydrating or repairing one. Check the ingredient label to ensure that it is free of sulfates. Hot water is very damaging to hair, and even more so on dyed hair. It can also cause your hair color to fade faster. You can make your hair color last longer by using cool to lukewarm water to wash and rinse it. The lower temperature will also help your hair appear sleeker and smoother. Rinse your conditioner out with cool water to seal the cuticle and lock in moisture. Gray hair dye fades faster than most, so the less often you wash your hair, the longer your color will stay. If your hair is not very oily, wash it once per week. If your hair tends to get very oily, wash it no more than twice per week. Use dry shampoo in between washes if your hair starts to look oily and dirty.
