Pour 1/2 cup (56 g) of coffee grounds into a bowl, then add 1/2 cup (115 g) of coconut palm sugar. Stir them together with a spoon or fork. The coffee grounds can be used, but they must be dry. If you can't find coconut palm sugar, you can use other types of sugar, such as organic cane sugar or brown sugar. The sugar is there for exfoliation. The larger, coarser the grains are, the more exfoliating the scrub will be. If you want a gentle scrub, stick with brown sugar. Melt 1/4 cup (52 g) of coconut oil in the microwave or in a double-boiler over the stove. Wait for it to cool to room temperature, then stir it into the coffee mixture. Don't add it in while it is still hot, or it will dissolve the coffee mixture. Coconut oil can melt quickly, so this should only take 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave or 1 to 2 minutes on the stove. Coconut oil can clog drains. If this of a concern to you, choose fractionated coconut oil; it is already in liquid form. If you can't get coconut oil, you can use another oil, such as olive oil. You don't have to heat it first. Not only will this help make your scrub smell great, but it will also help improve blood circulation and reduce wrinkles. Cinnamon also has antibacterial properties, making it great for acne. For a more fragrant scrub, add 1/2 tablespoon (7.5 mL) of vanilla extract in addition to the cinnamon. Note that this won't have any benefits for your skin. The best type of jar to use is a short jar with a wide opening because it will be easier to reach into than a tall jar with a narrow opening. Don't use a plastic jar, however, as the plastic can leach chemicals into the scrub. Keep the jar tightly sealed when you aren't using the scrub. It can have a screw-on lid or a latch-hook lid. Use your fingers to scoop out about 1 tablespoon (7.5 g) of the scrub. Massage the scrub over your arms and legs using smooth, circular motions for about 60 seconds. Rinse the scrub off afterwards. This scrub contains coarse ingredients, so use it no more than once or twice per week. You may be able to keep the scrub around longer than 2 weeks, but watch out for signs of mold. If the scrub starts to look strange or smell rancid, discard it.

Q: Contact paper comes in a variety of patterns and colors, from marble to wood grain to solid colors like black or white. Select your favorite, measure the headboard, and cut your contact paper to size before applying it. Before working, clean the headboard with a mixture of 50% rubbing alcohol and 50% water to remove dust and allow the paper to stick. To apply the paper evenly, peel off the protective paper on the back and apply small sections at a time, smoothing as you work. Use an X-Acto knife to cut out details and trim your paper after it's applied. When you're done, run a credit card over the surface of the paper to smooth out wrinkles and bubbles. Washi tape is a repositionable paper tape that comes in different colors and patterns. You can apply the tape in whatever pattern or design you want. Popular options include repeating geometric shapes, like triangles and diamonds, or abstract stripes and shapes. If you're doing a geometric design, it might be helpful to measure and trace the design on the wall in pencil before cutting and applying the tape. Crooked pieces will stand out, especially in a geometric design. If you don't want to paint your entire headboard, you can use a stencil to paint a design onto the headboard. You can find large stencils at most craft stores. For a bold and eye-catching look, only paint the trim of the headboard a bright, contrasting color. When using a stencil, work on small sections at a time and make sure you are aligning the stencil each time you move it. Chalk paint is great for stenciling and painting small areas because it dries quickly and won't require sanding or sealing.
A: Apply contact paper for a quick, easy, and temporary color change. Apply washi tape in repeating geometric shapes or abstract designs. Paint the trim or stencil a design on the headboard.

Article: Bamboo plants are typically classified as clumping bamboo, running bamboo, or reeds. Reeds are rarely planted in yards, if ever, so you can expect to deal with either clumping or running bamboo. Running bamboo sends out rhizomes, which spread into other areas, causing the plant to become invasive. Clumping bamboo grows in tight clusters and rarely spreads out over larger areas. Most bamboo varieties do best in tropical climates, but if you live in a somewhat cooler area, there are a few hardier varieties you can attempt to grow with some success. If you living in warmer hardiness zones, like zones 7 through 10, a few good choices might be Bambusa multiplex 'Alphonse Karr', Borinda boliana, and Phyllostachys nigra. The first two are clump bamboo types, while the last is running bamboo. For slightly cooler climates, like those found in hardiness zones 5 and 6, try the clumping type Fargesia dracocephala 'Rufa' or the running type Pleioblastus viridistriatus. Bamboo needs a great deal of sun, so you should usually pick a spot in your yard that receives 8 or more hours of sun daily. Note that some tropical species do require shade during the hottest parts of the day, however. Shade can be especially important during winter. The combination of frost and direct sunlight can dehydrate the plant quickly. As such, if you live in an area that receives frost during winter, you should opt for a spot that receives partial shade instead of one with direct sun. While bamboo can do well in many types of soil, it does best in loam or marly soils. Improve your odds of success by digging and mixing in amendments to the soil before planting. Work garden compost or manure into the soil to provide it with additional nutrients. Ideally, the compost should be worked into the bottom of the transplant hole so that the bamboo roots sit on top of it. Loam soil is a mixture of five parts topsoil composted with two parts sand, two parts silt, and one part clay. Avoid rocky or soggy soils, as well as soils that are relatively impermeable. Bamboo has a shallow root system, yet it also grows tall and fast. As a result, it can easily get damaged by strong winds. You will need a barrier to prevent this from happening. The easiest way to protect your bamboo is to position them behind garden hedges or trees. Otherwise, you might need to build a fence around the area. If you are planting running bamboo, you will need to construct a barrier to prevent the bamboo from invading other parts of your yard. After determining the area in which you want to confine the bamboo, install barriers of sheet metal or concrete around the perimeter. These barriers should be 3 to 4 feet (0.9 to 1.2 m) deep.
