Q: If you don't have any, you can use wax paper instead. You will be piping the chocolate chips on this. Fill a small pot with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08) centimeters) of water and set it on the stove. Put a heat-safe, glass bowl on top of the pot. Make sure that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. If you can't find any cacao butter, you can use coconut butter instead. Stir it every so often with a silicone spoon or spatula so that it melts evenly. You don't have to add in the raw cashew/macadamia butter, or the dry milk powder, if you are having troubles finding them. These ingredients simply help make the white chocolate chips even creamier. If you don't have one, a plastic, re-sealable freezer bag. Spoon the mixture into the bag, then zip the bag shut tightly. Snip one of the corners at the bottom, and you have a makeshift pastry bag. Don't snip off too much, however, or you will get chocolate "kisses" instead of "chips." To make the points, gently touch the center of the chips with a toothpick. Lift the toothpick upwards. It will take about half an hour for the chips to harden in your freezer. When you are ready to use them, simply pull the container out, and take what you need.
A: Line a standard-sized baking sheets with parchment paper. Prepare a double boiler. Cut a 2 inch (5.08 centimeters) cube of cacao butter and place it into the glass bowl. Melt the butter over low to medium-low heat. Stir in the rest of your ingredients. Transfer the melted mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a small tip. Pipe the mixture onto the baking sheet. Wait for the chocolate chips to harden, or put them into your freezer. Keep the white chocolate chips in an air-tight container in the freezer.

Q: While some tests provide you with an explanation of your results, they aren't always easy to understand. To make sure you get the best information, talk to your doctor about your results and what they mean. Then, listen to your doctor's advice about the test results. Tell your doctor about your specific concerns about your hormone levels. Hormones are very important, so even a small imbalance can cause health issues. If you think you have a hormone disorder, visit your doctor to discuss your concerns. They'll make sure you get treatment if you need it. For instance, diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hirsutism, menopause, hypogonadism, erectile dysfunction (ED), and gynecomastia are all hormone disorders. Ovulation testing can help you find the right day of the month to try to conceive. If this isn't helping you get pregnant, talk to your doctor to find out what you can do to improve your chances of having a baby. They may offer you advice to boost your chances or fertility treatments to help you. If you're 35 or older, talk to your doctor after trying to conceive for 6 months. If you're older than 40, consult your doctor as soon as you start trying to conceive. If you have low hormone levels, your doctor may offer you a hormone supplement. This isn't always necessary, but it can relieve your symptoms if low hormones are a problem for you. Talk to your doctor to find out if you need a hormone supplement. Some hormone supplements have side effects, so talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of your hormone supplement.
A: Get a doctor to help you interpret your hormone test results. Talk to your doctor if you're worried you have a hormone disorder. Visit your doctor if you've been trying to conceive for 1 year. Ask your doctor if you need a hormone supplement for low hormones.

Q: Include your counselor and/or psychiatrist, your medical doctor, and some close family members and friends. Be realistic about how each person can help you. It's important to have more than one person on this list, because it is unrealistic to think that one person will be able to help you all the time. This will drain a lot of their energy and could potentially strain your relationship. Think about people who will be supportive and non-judgmental. People who might make you feel more anxious or upset may not be the best choice for your support network. You may choose to share your diagnosis of depression with close family members or friends. This will help them understand what you're going through. This will also help them understand that you can't just "snap out of it," but that you have a medical diagnosis for your condition. Don't exclude people because you "don't want to worry them." If they are close family members or friends, they want to know how you're feeling and will be willing to help you. You may want to keep some of the details of your depression private, sharing them only with your counselor. If you don't feel like sharing with other people, such as your coworkers, you can just say that you're going through a difficult time but that you're working on making things better. When you live with depression, it can periodically be difficult to go out and participate in activities. But it is important to continue doing the things that you enjoy in order to build supportive relationships. Identify a couple of activities that you like or things you'd like to try. This may be taking a class, volunteering at an animal shelter, or even going to a movie with a friend. Set goals for yourself to do at least one favorite activity per week. A pet can be another important part of your support network. Having a pet is recognized by the National Institute for Mental Health as beneficial for people living with depression. Pets can provide you with constant companionship. In addition, even if you don't feel up to it, you still have to take care of them by, for example, taking the dog for a walk. If you can't have a pet where you live, you can still get pet therapy by volunteering with an animal organization such as the American Humane Association.
A: Make a list of people to include in your support network. Share your diagnosis with supportive family or friends. Only give details that you want to give. Stay connected with your favorite activities. Get a pet.

Q: If you can, make your whole costume the same color. A black plastic garbage bag makes convincing seaweed when cut into strips. Drape it over your tentacles or stick it in your belt to hang around you. If you like, cut a secondhand skirt into eight pointed strips to further mimic tentacles. This is a less striking but more comfortable costume you can change into if the larger tentacles start to annoy you.
A:
Wear matching sweats, tights, or skirt. Cut strips of fake kelp. Make a comfortable backup costume (optional).
