Article: The first thing you need to do is sterilize the scissors you will be using to snip off the skin tag. You can do this using a few different methods. The most thorough way is to use an autoclave (sterilization device) but you may not have one readily available and they can be expensive to buy. Cheaper alternatives include thoroughly cleaning the scissors with some rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball, or boiling the scissors in a pot of water for ten minutes. Wash your hands with an anti-bacterial soap and carefully place the sterilized scissors on a clean towel and leave to dry. Avoid touching the sterilized blade from this point on. This will extend the skin tag and give you more space to get the scissors as close to the base of the tag as possible. Before you do this, you can numb the area with a little ice to minimize pain, however removing the skin tag is no more painful than a pinch, so this is probably unnecessary. Position the scissors slowly and carefully to ensure that you will snip the skin tag as close to the base as possible, without cutting the surrounding skin. Once you are in position, snip quickly to minimize pain. It should feel like a quick pinch. Instead of using sterilized scissors, it is possible to use a nail clippers to remove the skin tag instead. The nail clippers may be easier to use if the skin tag is on the back of your neck, or anywhere hard to reach. Just be sure to sterilize the nail clippers using one of the methods outlined above before using. The base of the skin tag will probably bleed a little after cutting, but this is normal. Take care to disinfect the area before covering, as the last thing you want is to develop an infection. Use a little rubbing alcohol or iodine on a cotton ball to do this. Cover the area with a skin-colored band-aid and allow the skin tag at least 24 hours to heal. If any signs of infection should develop, such as swelling, tenderness, redness or oozing around the wound, consult your doctor immediately.

Article: You can use the base of a cocktail shaker, a highball glass, or any other clear glass. You only need the glass to mix the juice. It is not the glass you will be drinking out of. A bar spoon is a special utensil with a long shaft, specially created for stirring cocktails. Hold the spoon near the top of the twisted section with your thumb and first two fingers. Sink the spoon into your glass, near the side but not touching it. Twirl the shaft, moving both back and forth and up and down. Continue stirring for about 30 seconds. Chill the glass beforehand by keeping it in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes, or by storing it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Go slowly and carefully to avoid spilling any of the drink. Do not shake or stir the soda water, since doing so may cause it to go flat. Instead, allow the liquids to combine lightly and naturally. Soda water is another great way to water down the bitterness of an extremely sour juice.

Article: Put any shoes you aren't wearing on the plane in the bottom of the bag to keep them from crushing more delicate items, and fill them with your socks or charging cables. Pack all toiletries into a small bag and put them with your shoes. Liquid, cream, and aerosol toiletries have to stay under 3.4 ounces to adhere to TSA restrictions. Put all those items in a separate, quart-sized bag: if they're in your carry-on, they need to be taken out during screening. To keep your dress shirts from getting too crushed or wrinkled, pack any heavy items - like jeans, suit pants, or dresses - after the toiletries and shoes. If you're worried about things getting messy, buy packing cubes to keep things organized. There are two ways to pack clothes: using the folding technique, or the rolling technique. The rolling technique keeps things tight and small, to maximize space. The folding technique keeps items flat and organized so they arrive in a neat condition. Keeping your dress shirts on top keeps them as wrinkle-free as possible. You can keep these in shirt covers or folded carefully over everything else. You can also neatly fold your tie and place it along with the shirts. Pack your laptop, phone, any tablets, medications, and a folder for all your business and travel documents into your handbag. This makes sure everything you need with you is in one place, and you won't lose any medications or electronics. Don't forget your chargers! To make it easier to charge your devices on the go, pack them in your purse or briefcase, if you have one. Take a few minutes to hang up your clothes to spare them excess wrinkles.
