Article: For best results, rub a generous amount of the oil or butter on your lips just before bed every night. This will give your lips a full night to absorb the nutrients and hydrate naturally. When your lips are properly hydrated, they generally appear fuller and healthier and, therefore, more beautiful. Look for coconut oil that is labeled raw, virgin, and/or unrefined, or cocoa butter that is labeled raw. These coconut oils and cocoa butters retain more nutrients than processed coconut oils or cocoa butters. Hydrating your body by drinking plenty of water will also help your lips stay healthy and beautiful. Petroleum jelly is also a great option for hydrating your lips overnight. Both coconut oil and petroleum jelly can help heal cracked, dry lips and prevent chapped lips in the future. Use a toothbrush to exfoliate and clean your lips by removing any dead skin. When exfoliating, rub in a circular motion to increase circulation and boost your lips' natural fullness and rosy color. Clean lips tend to reflect more light, making them naturally appear fuller and healthier. You can also create an easy, natural DIY sugar lip scrub as an alternative to exfoliating with a toothbrush. Apply the sugar scrub liberally to your lips and rub with your fingers in a circular motion. Mix 1 tablespoon (15mL) of coconut oil with 5 or 6 small drops of peppermint oil in a small bowl. Use your finger to apply a small dab of the balm to your lips. Store the remaining balm in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 years. Peppermint oil is technically an irritant, so it works as a natural lip plumper by stimulating blood flow to your lips and causing mild swelling. You should also be cautious when applying peppermint oil to your lips since it has been known to cause allergic reaction in some people. Because peppermint oil is a hot oil, mixing it with coconut oil will help you avoid any burning or irritating side effects while adding hydration. If you do experience any adverse side effects, however, immediately wipe off the balm. If the side effects continue for more than an hour, contact your doctor or take an antihistamine if you know it is safe for you to do so. You can also use cinnamon extract instead of peppermint oil, though it might sting for a bit. Avoid using a plumping lip balm after applying this natural lip plumper to reduce the risk of irritation. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon (15mL) of olive oil with a few sprinkles of chili powder, no more than 1 teaspoon (4.9mL). Lightly rub the mixture on your lips. Leave it on your lips for 1 to 5 minutes before wiping it off with a paper towel. Moisturize with coconut oil, raw cocoa butter, or your favorite lip balm. Chili powder, also known as capsicum, causes mild swelling, making your lips temporarily plumper and full. Because chili powder is a hot spice, there is a risk of irritation and burning. In most cases, this will subside within a few minutes after wiping off the lip plumper. If the side effects continue for more than an hour, contact your doctor or take an antihistamine if you know it is safe for you to do so. To reduce the risk of irritation, avoid using a plumping lip balm after applying this natural lip plumper.

Article: Literate roleplay requires lots of descriptions, and you don't want to use the same words over and over again! Get a dictionary and thesaurus in book or internet form and keep them on hand. Use them every time you get stuck or find yourself using a word too much. For example, if you are roleplaying a scene in the rain, instead of saying "rain" every sentence, you can use words like "deluge," "downpour," and "torrent." You'll need to have very good grammar and spelling if you want to be a literate roleplayer. It's okay to make mistakes sometimes, but practice your grammar and spelling if you have trouble with it. Try asking friends for help, searching online for grammar rules, and reading more often. Also, don't forget to turn spellcheck on! Before you start or enter an RPG, spend some time writing a few practice scenes. You can borrow real scenes from the existing canon, or make up your own. Think about how your character would react when you write the scenes. For example, if you're written a brave, headstrong, arrogant warrior, they wouldn't run away if they were confronted with a dragon. If you're new to literate roleplaying, it's a good idea to have a second person take a look at your writing before you actually start playing. Ask a friend who roleplays or loves to write to read over your practice scenes and critique them.

Keep a thesaurus and a dictionary nearby. Practice grammar and spelling. Write some practice roleplaying scenes. Ask your friends to critique your writing.
Article: The most basic bath salt is epsom salt, which is available at most pharmacies. To use epsom salt to treat hemorrhoids, mix 2 tablespoons (15 milliliters) of epsom salt with 2 tablespoons (15 milliliters) of glycerin. Apply that mixture to a piece of gauze and place it over the affected area. Leave the gauze on for 15 minutes. You can repeat this every 4 to 6 hours. Research suggests that you can absorb the magnesium from bath salts through your skin, restoring your body's magnesium levels and reducing the pain from arthritis. Soak in water heated to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees celsius) with a handful of bath salt from the Dead Sea dissolved in it. A small amount of epsom salt mixed in water can help alleviate your symptoms if you're suffering from constipation. Mix 1 teaspoon of epsom salt into a glass of water, stirring until the salt dissolves. Drink the solution.
