Q: Pour 1 part light corn syrup and 1 part clear alcohol into a little dish or shallow cup. Mix them well to fully combine the corn syrup (which will make the glaze shiny) with the alcohol (which will allow the glaze the harden as it dries). Using alcohol and corn syrup will give your fondant a permanent, high gloss shine. The exact amount will vary depending on the amount of fondant you need to glaze, but using 1 teaspoon (4.9mL) of each component will usually work well for small decorations. Use alcohol that is 150 proof or higher. Vodka works well, but clear grain alcohols are also effective. If you prefer not to use alcohol, you can substitute vanilla extract or imitation vanilla extract for the alcohol. Use a pastry brush to easily and evenly apply the glaze to the fondant you'd like to make shiny. For small elements, you'll want to use a small, soft brush. To cover an entire cake, a medium or large-sized brush will be much more efficient. However, skip overly stiff brushes and don't press too hard to avoid creating indentations on the fondant. It's best to apply the glaze in thin layers. Thicker coats will create a shinier appearance, but they will also take longer to dry. It can be difficult to apply this glaze to large areas quickly enough, as it tends to set quickly. Stick to small decorations or tackle larger projects in sections. Depending on the batch, your climate, and the thickness of the glaze, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight to fully dry. Avoid brushing over the glazed area or touching it with your fingers once the glaze starts setting. You can easily leave marks in the glaze during this stage, and those marks will be permanent. Once the glaze dries, the shine is permanentno need to reapply another coat before serving.
A: Mix equal parts corn syrup and clear alcohol in a small bowl. Brush the mixture onto the fondant with a pastry brush. Let the glaze dry for a few hours before handling it.

Q: Hairstyles for preppy girls are easy whether your hair is straight, curly or somewhere in between. Make sure your hair is clean, and use hairspray and styling mousse to tame flyaways or frizz. For a plain, cute look, wear your hair down and natural with a barrette or bobby pin holding some hair off to the side. Accessorize a curled look with a statement headband. Plain headbands tend to blend better with the classic preppy stereotype. Bright, colored bands might be too much. Do sleek braids in your hair to keep it out of your face on days where you're busy. Pull your hair into a medium-height ponytail with a bow for a quick and simple hairdo. Having clear skin is especially important for preppy girls because they tend to wear more natural looking makeup. Wash your face everyday with a gentle cleanser before you go to sleep. If you get breakouts often, which are sometimes inevitable, use a face wash that is specifically formulated for acne treatment. If you have sensitive skin, look for an unscented cleanser to avoid irritating your face, which can make skincare difficult. in colors that complement your outfit. For preppy girls, foundation, mascara, light eyeliner, blush and lipstick are the key components to most makeup looks. The key is to keep it simple and highlight your natural beauty. Apply your concealer and foundation in areas where you have redness or breakouts. If you're comfortable with your natural skin, you don't have to wear foundation at all. Avoid using bright or dark eyeshadow colors. For a clean and classic preppy look, apply a light brown color all over your lid before applying eyeliner and mascara. Make sure your mascara doesn't clump. If it does, select a mascara with a smoother formula or use a wand with smaller bristles. Use a light pink or red blush on the apples of your cheeks to give you a pretty glow. Apply light pink or neutral colored lipstick for everyday looks. On days where you want to stand out, use bright red lipstick with blue undertones. This includes showering every day and brushing your teeth twice a day. Good hygiene is a huge part of maintaining the put-together and clean cut preppy look. If your teeth have a natural yellow tint to them, you might try teeth whitening. There are many different options for whitening, so you should talk to your dentist before trying a new method. Avoid bright colored nail polish because it can clash with different colors or prints in your outfit. Instead, pick light creams and pinks, or a french tip style that goes with any look. If you're not good at applying polish or trimming your nails, consider getting a basic or gel manicure once or twice per month. Avoid long acrylic nails, which can get dirty easily and tend to look less professional. Gel nail polish will last longer than a basic manicure, but tends to be slightly more expensive. For regular nail maintenance like trimming, filing, and cuticle care, you can get a manicure without polish or with clear polish. Choose a scent that isn't overpowering, such as a light floral smell, or a clean scent. Apply only 1-2 sprays each day to avoid smelling too strong. A good perfume is especially helpful for hot summer days when you might sweat a lot. It can help you to smell good all day long!
A: Style your hair in a sleek and clean look. Wash your face every day to prevent breakouts. Wear simple makeup Maintain good personal hygiene. Keep your nails trimmed and wear nail polish if you're comfortable with it. Select a light, muted perfume as your signature scent.

Q: Your doctor can determine if you have psoriasis by looking at your skin, scalp, and nails. They may check for any red, scaly patches or inflamed areas on your skin. They may also look at your nails to check if they are pitted, discolored, or ridged. Your doctor may ask you about your symptoms to help diagnose your issue. They may also consider your medical history to see if you are prone to skin conditions or have sensitive skin. Your doctor may take a small sample of your skin, called a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. A biopsy can also help your doctor determine the type of psoriasis you have and rule out other disorders. A skin biopsy is often done at the doctor's office. An anesthetic may be applied to the area so you do not feel the removal of the skin sample. The results of the biopsy are often ready within a week. Your doctor should be able to use the results of the skin biopsy and the physical exam to make sure you have psoriasis and not other skin conditions. There are several skin conditions that look similar to psoriasis, including: Seborrheic dermatitis: This skin condition causes your skin to appear greasy, itchy, scaly, and red. You may notice seborrheic dermatitis on your face, upper chest, and back. Lichen planus: This skin condition often appears as red, itchy bumps or lesions on your arms and legs. Ringworm: This skin condition is caused by a fungal infection. You may develop red, scaly rashes in a ring or circle. Pityriasis rosea: This skin condition appears as one large spot on your chest, abdomen, or back. It may then spread, forming the shape of drooping pine tree branches.
A:
Let your doctor do a physical exam of your skin. Get a skin biopsy. Allow your doctor to rule out other skin conditions.
