3,212 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Work a Slush Puppie Machine | xxx | Put salt on food that has spilled over in the oven while it's still baking—it'll form a crust and be a lot easier the clean up later. | If your pipe is metal, you can try boiling it for 20 minutes before cleaning it with alcohol and salt. This will help loosen all the resin inside, then the alcohol and salt should finish the job. The water will smell bad, so open up the windows or turn on a fan. You can dump the water down the drain when you're finishe... | The salt used to make Slush Puppies doesn't end up in the mixture, so it gets left behind in the mixer. Clean out the mixer as soon as you're done with it to prevent damage from the salt. | If your hands get stained from the food coloring, try using a clean washcloth soaked in white vinegar to rub away the stain.

3,220 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Ask Your Mom About Puberty (for Girls) | xxx | Rejecting someone is ultimately a balancing act between being firm (saying "No") and being warm (protecting their feelings.) Tweak this balance to suit the situation, and don't be afraid to get increasingly firm if your suitor doesn't get the hint at first. | Envy sometimes shows itself as disengagement when the object of envy is present.

3,224 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Fit Mini Trunking Corners | xxx | Clip zip tie ends flush and straight across to help prevent scratching surfaces the star comes in contact with. | In case the neckline is oversized, you can fix the gaping using a pin or a piece of fashion tape. | Clip-over style mini trunking corners are better for hiding imperfect cuts or bulky cables. | Thin plastic screen protectors can be easily custom-cut, preferably with a paper cutter, slightly undersize to prevent edge lifting, and approximating rounded corners.

If you notice your skin has a bad reaction to the sanitizer, try one with a different formula. | If you find that your skin is dry even with a regular moisturizing routine, it is likely due to a buildup of dead skin that can prevent ingredients from absorbing properly. Regular exfoliation with gentle alpha-hydroxy acids can help in making sure the products you put on are more effective. | If you need to reapply it between showers, rub your skin with alcohol. Take a cotton ball dipped in alcohol and rub it over the skin where you want to apply it. This will kill the bacteria and create a sterile place to apply your crystal deodorant. | 2 |
3,227 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Do Soap Brows | xxx | Apply the foundation at least 5 minutes after moisturizing your skin. Powder foundation will absorb any oils, which will lead to longer-lasting makeup. | Finish off your makeup regimen with a translucent setting powder. If you hate wearing makeup because it slides around your face, let setting powder be your friend. It fixes creams in place and provides a matte finish for your foundation. | Use a foundation brush to apply your moisturizer, followed by your foundation with the same brush. This will prevent “tide marks,” which are big, streaky-looking marks around the edges of your face and jawbone. Remember to apply it consistently and cover areas you dislike the most.

3,230 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Stretch New Shoes | xxx | Keep in mind that feet change sizes. They get more swollen when it is warm, and thinner when it is cool. Also, feet can change size as you grow older. It might be a good idea to have a specialist measure your feet at a shoe store every so often. | Too much pain is a bad sign; take off your shoes and figure out why. If they don't fit, no matter how much you like them, get rid of them. You only have one pair of feet, and shoes can be replaced. | If a shoe isn't made to fit your foot, there's not much you can do to change its shape. Keep in mind that whenever possible, it's best to buy shoes that already fit. | When choosing the right shoes, keep in mind the general “golden rule” of rock climbing: if you're uncomfortable, you're doing it right. Climbing shoes should be tight, but not to the point of severe discomfort. Choose a pair of shoes that squish your toes together. If your toes begin to curl inwards, go up a half size.... | 2 |

Getting caught in a lie later can do damage to your relationships. | Give yourself enough time to make amends. Too often, we make a mistake and then want it to be immediately erased. Unfortunately, things don't work that way - that's why it's smart to protect your reputation carefully by being a person of good character. | Always be honest. Trust is a fragile thing, and there's no faster way to lose your momentum than dishonesty. | Always be honest. Being a team player is all about trust.

If using other instruments in the same room, place the guitar so the microphone faces away from everything else. | Listen to music only if it helps you concentrate. Some people study better with music while others study better in silence. If you do decide to bring an iPod or mp3 player, wear ear buds or headphones and keep the volume low so that others do not need to hear the music, as well. | 0 |

If you don't make your environment less hospitable to them, killing the insects will only create a void that other cockroaches will soon fill. | Some tarantulas do not like to be fed after a terrarium cleaning. If your tarantula won't eat after you've cleaned its habitat, give it a few days and then offer it some food. | Observe your tarantulas to see whether they prefer to eat one or multiple insects at once. If your tarantula looks overwhelmed by multiple insects, just give it one at a time. | If you're truly interested in tarantulas as pets, get a good book on tarantulas.

When it is suggested that loving yourself is important, it is. However, that means reaching a self-acceptance of who you are and loving the talents, the potential, the makeup of yourself. It does not mean vanity or superiority. Loving yourself is really just another way of say... | Although it's cheesy, saying "I love myself" on a daily basis can help you reclaim some of your self esteem and confidence. It reminds you that you are a master of your own feelings and that your self worth is not determined by another person's feelings about you. | Having strong self-esteem is an important factor in the ability to be strong, face our fears and learn to let things go because it enables you to create your own sense of self-worth that is not contingent on others. | 2 |

Writers love this, especially when the story is complete. | Have a great title. No one wants to read a book that sounds boring. Have an exciting title that draws attention and curiosity.

If the plant isn't growing new leaves, you might need to fertilize, adjust the water, or move the pot to a location where it gets more or less sunlight. | Create a barrier if you want to plant your mint in your garden. Sink a bottomless bucket into the soil and plant the roots inside. This prevents them from spreading too far. | If you're planting a rose in a container and can't get it out of the plant, take a sanitized knife and cut the roots clinging to the inside of the pot. | If you're worried about the creeping jenny overgrowing your garden, keep it in a pot instead.

Also, if your mom is not very convinced to buy you the toy, you should just lay low until the time is right. Consider getting rid of old toys that you don't play with. | Unless abuse is present, don't ever give up. A dad who seems unable to bond with a small child might deal better when the child is older.

If the ones you're attempting to clean are, simply tossing them in the washing machine could save you the time and energy of restoring them by hand. | Always read the instructions thoroughly before use.

Frozen spinach is usually processed immediately after picking and therefore retains most of its nutrition. It may be a healthier option if your fresh spinach options are more than a few days old. | While it is customary to serve medium-sized fish like trout whole, as it better retains flavor, the trout can be trimmed, skinned and filleted before cooking to suit squeamish or picky eaters. | Instead of discarding uncooked sweet potato skin, it can be fried and turned into a delicious dish. Fry the skin shavings in olive oil until it turns crackly. Then season the sweet potato skins with salt and enjoy these as a garnish for a potato dish or as an alternative to hash browns. | You can also marinate your salmon fillets to keep them moist and flavorful.

They cast who they believe will bring the best performance in that specific part. So don't be upset because you believe your audition was better than someone else's who got the part. | Nickelodeon doesn't usually allow people to audition for roles by direct request. If you're an actor, a much better idea is to enlist a talent or booking agency to get you an audition. | Don't be too hard on yourself if you don't get the part you wanted.
