Clip the stems until 12 inch (1.3cm) of stem is left. Discard the stems. Depending on the size of your container, you may need to use multiple containers to fit all of your flowers. Before placing the flowers in the silica gel, sprinkle silica gel inside the flowers. Make sure silica gel gets all the way inside the petals. Contrary to its name, silica gel is more like a sand than a gel. You can find containers at your local hardware store or crafts store. Place them side-by-side, but try not to overcrowd them. Leave a little room, about 12 inch (1.3cm) of space, between each flower. Additionally, avoid stacking the flowers on top of each other. Do not pour the silica gel directly on top of the flowers since this will distort its shape. Instead, build up the silica gel by spreading it around the flowers. Add silica gel until the flowers are completely covered. Place and secure the lid on each container. Place the containers in a cool, dry place, like a hallway or bedroom closet. Do this while your flowers are setting. Choose a shadow box that is 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2cm) deep. This way, the flowers will have enough room to fit inside the shadow box. Gently pour the silica gel out into a large bowl to remove the flowers. Mist each flower with fixative spray. The fixative spray will help preserve the color of the flowers. Alternatively, use hairspray. You can purchase fixative sprays from your local crafts store. Remove the back of the shadow box. Place the flowers upside down against the glass. Arrange them however you like. Play with the arrangement before you decide on a final design. Take a picture of the final design so you have a reference to refer back to once you begin gluing the flowers to the back of the shadow box. Lay the back of the shadow box flat on a protected work surface. Place a dime-sized amount of hot glue on the back of a flower. Place and hold the flower to the back of the shadow box for 30 seconds. Repeat this process for each flower. To protect your work surface, cover it with sheets of newspaper. You can purchase a hot glue gun and glue from your local crafts store. Hang the box on a wall in your bedroom, living room, or dining room. Alternatively, place the box on a shelf, or stand it up against the wall on top of a table.

Summary: Cut the stems with scissors. Fill a plastic, airtight container halfway full with silica gel. Place the flowers upright in the silica. Fill the rest of the container with silica gel. Let the flowers set for two weeks. Visit your local craft store to purchase a shadow box. Remove the flowers and spray them with a fixative spray. Arrange them inside the shadow box. Hot glue the flowers to the back of the shadow box. Display the shadow box.

The most common way for people to ionize water at home, is by using a water ionizing machine. These machines are attached to your main source of water, such as your kitchen tap. Depending on the model you have, you will be able to set the specific pH levels that you want the water to be. Electric water ionizers utilize small voltages of electricity to change the electrical charge of the water molecules. Water ionizers tend to be expensive. They may cost between $1000 and $6000. If you have an ionizer that you attach to the tap, you will not need a plumber to install it. Alternatively, if you have an ionizer that must be attached to the water mains, you may need a plumber if you don't have basic plumbing skills. Bio-ceramic filters are made out of select materials--clay, stone, and others--in order to create a magnetic charge within the water. The manufacturers of these filters claim that they work to effectively alter the water's electrical charge, and the water gains its magnetic charge from particles of magnetite and cobalt within the clay. Some advocates for these filters claim they can have significant health benefits. There is, however, little scientific evidence to support claims that drinking alkaline water can have significant health benefits. If you use this method, be sure to check the pH of the water before you drink it. Most filters come as inserts in jugs or other containers that you pour water into and then wait while it passes through the filter. One easy way to make a small amount of alkaline water, is just to add some pH drops to your water. There are a number of different brands available, but they are all marketed as ways to increase the pH level of water. This option is great if you only need a small amount of alkaline water to drink, but not for any other use (e.g., taking a shower). Be careful with this method, and be sure to follow the instructions on the packaging carefully. Depending on which brand you use, you may need to add 5 drops per litre of water, or ten drops per litre. Do not exceed the recommend amount, and if you are on any medication speak to your doctor first. Magnetic devices have long been used to "soften" water as it travels through pipes, and potentially reduce the scaling effect of hard water. Although such devices have been in use for many decades, there is still considerable doubt about their efficacy. Some people now claim that such magnetic devices can be used to ionize water and increase its alkalinity. The argument is that by attaching magnetic ionizer devices to your water pipes, your water will have its charge restored as it passes through the pipe. There is, however, a distinct lack of published evidence to support the idea that magnetic fields can bring about the ionization of water. You can attach easily attach the magnets to a pipe, often without any tools. Typical batch unit ionizers will ionize 1 gallon (3.8L) of water at a time. You may choose to use a batch ionizer if you don't need to ionize all the water in your house, but want to ionize a larger amount than one glass at a time. With a batch unit ionizer, you will need to fill it with water from the tap, plug it in and turn it on. Follow the instructions on your model, and wait while the water is ionized.

Summary: Use a water ionizer machine. Pass the water through bio-ceramic filters. Add pH drops to your glass of water. Attach magnetic ionizer devices to water pipes. Use a batch unit ionizer.

Pour it slowly over your tongue, making sure to get the warm water in the area of contact between the metal and your tongue. This should raise the temperature of the metal, allowing your saliva to unfreeze. You also want to make sure that the water is not too hot. No need to add a burn on your tongue to your list of problems! Don't pour the water too fast. Pour it slowly and steadily, so that the warmth works its way into the frozen connection. If your tongue is only lightly frozen to the metal, you can gently pull it off. However, if this process begins to hurt your tongue, stop and find a different solution. Try to twist your tongue and pull it off; hopefully this will cause your tongue to become unstuck. Let the hot air move out repeatedly until your tongue becomes unstuck. You may need to cuff your hands around your mouth, so that the hot air stays around your tongue. Do this multiple times until the metal warms up enough to unfreeze your tongue.
Summary: Use warm water on the tongue and metal. Use your free hands to gently free your tongue. Breathe in deeply and then blow out hot air over your tongue.
