Q: Rub a cotton ball over the cut face of an avocado to collect its essential oils. Use the cotton ball to wipe off stubborn eye makeup, such as mascara, without the stinging. Don't wipe off the avocado oils after removing your eye makeup. Rubbing them into your skin can provide a great dose of vitamins A and E. Mash 1/2 an avocado with a teaspoon (7 g) of raw honey. Rub the mixture over your face, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wash it off to reveal beautiful, hydrated skin. If you have acne-prone skin, try mixing a little yogurt into the mask for some natural antibacterial power. Combine a mashed avocado with cup (60 ml) of olive oil, and smooth the mix over dry hair for a dose of hydration. Let the mixture sit on your hair for 20 minutes, and then wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner as normal in the shower. If you're prone to greasy roots, apply the mask only to the middle and ends of your hair. Put a shower cap over the mask while it sits to keep from making a mess. Mash 1 ripe avocado with 1 ripe banana. Rub the mixture over your hands and nails, letting it sit for 10 minutes. If you like, you can place your hands in sandwich bags to keep from making too much of a mess while you wait. Wash off the mix, and enjoy your soft, supple hands.
A: Remove your makeup with avocado. Make a face mask. Create a nourishing hair mask. Moisturize your hands.

Q: Make it easier for you to examine your body for any spots, moles, or bumps by standing in front of a large full body mirror. Do this in a room with good light. If you have access to a full body mirror that is on a stand, this would work best. You may also want to have a small hand mirror close by to make it easier for you to examine specific areas on your body. You can also ask someone to help you examine your body up close, such as a partner or a family member. When you examine your body, look for spots, moles, or bumps that could be cancerous. Moles are often brown or black in color and may appear as one or in a cluster. Spots and bumps may appear red, brown, or black. Check for any spots or bumps that are new on your body as well as spots, moles, or bumps that you have had for a long time. You may have birthmarks on your body that are at risk of becoming cancerous, so they should also be checked. Stand in front of the mirror with your arms raised at your sides. You can be naked or wear underwear. Look at your chest and stomach for any spots, moles, or bumps. Bend your elbows and check your forearms. Then, lift your arms and examine your underarms and armpits. Make sure you also check your wrists, fingers, and palms. You should also examine your face, neck and scalp. Make sure you look at the front and the back of your neck. Use the small hand mirror to examine your scalp, parting your hair as you do so. Stand in front of the mirror with your back to it and look over your shoulder. Examine your lower back as well as your butt. Then, sit down on a chair and check the front and back of your legs. Look at the tops of your feet. You should also lift up your feet and check the soles of your feet. Look at each toe as well as between each toe.
A: Use a large mirror. Look for spots, moles, or bumps on your body. Check your upper body. Examine your lower body.

Q: Fill a tea kettle or small saucepan with 1 cup (250 ml) of purified water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Measure out 2 tsp (10 ml) of dried parsley leaves. Place the leaves in the bottom of a teacup, pour the boiling water on top, and steep the leaves for 5 to 10 minutes. Parsley tea can have a bitter taste. Steep it for 5 minutes if you're sensitive to bitterness. If you enjoy strong teas or plan to sweeten it, steep the parsley for up to 10 minutes. Pass the contents of the teacup through a tea strainer. Collect the liquid tea in a second teacup placed beneath the strainer and discard the caught parsley leaves. Sweeten the tea, if desired it, or drink the parsley tea without any sweetener. Either way, you should enjoy it while it's still hot. Use your favorite sweetener, or consider trying a bit of raw cane sugar or locally sourced honey.
A: Boil the water. Steep the parsley for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain the leaves. Enjoy.

Q: A hernia can affect different areas of your body in different ways, although a hernia in or around the stomach area may be the most common type of hernia. These hernias include: Hiatal hernia affects the upper part of your stomach. The hiatus is an opening in the diaphragm that separates the chest area from the abdomen. There are two types of hiatal hernia: sliding or paraesophageal. Hiatal hernias occur in people of both sexes, and are typically more common in people over the age of 50 and those who are obese. Epigastric hernia occurs when small layers of fat push through the belly wall between your breast bone and your navel. You can have more than one of these at a time. Although epigastric hernias often present no symptoms, it may need to be treated with surgery. Incisional hernia happens when improper care after abdominal surgery results in bulging through the surgical scar. Often, mesh lining is incorrectly installed and the intestines slip out of the mesh, causing a hernia. Umbilical hernia are especially common among infants. When the baby cries, a lump around the belly button area usually protrudes. Hernias can also affect the groin, pelvis, or thighs when the intestines break out of their lining, causing uncomfortable and sometimes painful lumps in these areas. Inguinal hernia affects your groin area, and happens when a portion of the small intestine bulges through the abdominal lining. Surgery is sometimes necessary for inguinal hernias, as complications can cause life-threatening situations. Femoral hernia affects the upper thigh, right below the groin. Although it may present no pain, it looks like a bulge in your upper thigh. Femoral hernias are more common in women than in men. Anal hernia, or rectal prolapse, may cause the entire rectum to extend out of the anus, or may only push a part through. Anal hernias are rare and can affect anyone, but are more likely to be seen in older adults with a history of constipation or weak pelvic floors. They are often confused with hemorrhoids, but they are not the same thing.
A:
Check for hernias that occur around the stomach, abdomen, or chest. Know the types of hernias that affect the groin area.
