article: Before you start polishing granite, it needs to be free of spills and stains. Fill up a bucket or a sink with warm water. Add a few drops of mild soap like dish detergent and agitate the water to make it bubbly.  Although warm, soapy water is very effective, you can also purchase specialty granite cleaners for everyday cleaning if you prefer. As another option, you can use a 50/50 solution of isopropyl alcohol and warm water in place of soap and other cleansers.  Never use harsh chemicals on granite. Although granite is a hard-wearing material, it needs to be treated gently to keep it looking good. Avoid products that contain lemon, vinegar, lime, ammonia, bleach, or glass cleaners, as these chemicals can break down the sealant and damage the granite over time. Dip a cleaning cloth into the warm water and wring it out to remove the excess water. Use the cloth to wipe away crumbs, spills, and stains from the whole countertop. It’s important that it’s completely clean before you add the polish. Microfiber cloths or nubby washcloths are ideal for cleaning granite. Get a dry microfiber cloth and remove all of the excess soapy water. Work in a circular motion and go over the whole countertop. You may need to swap the microfiber cloth for a dry one if it gets too wet.  Drying the countertop thoroughly prevents streaking.  Alternatively, you can use a terry cloth towel instead of a microfiber cloth. Get a small bowl, baking soda, warm water, and a fork. Mix together 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water until the mixture is smooth and a thick paste forms. Try to get rid of any lumps before you use the paste. Baking soda is also great for removing stubborn stains from granite. You can find granite polish at many home improvement and kitchen stores. Always read the label to ensure that the product is suitable for your countertop before you buy it. Avoid general-purpose polishing products, as these can damage granite. Place a thin, even coating of the baking soda paste or retail granite polish onto the countertop. If you are using baking soda paste, place small dollops of it across the countertop using a spoon. For retail granite polish, simply spray the product lightly over the countertop and let it sit for the specified amount of time, which is usually 2-3 minutes. If you are using a retail granite polish, read the manufacturer’s directions carefully first and always follow all of the instructions. Get a clean, soft cloth and begin to work the polish into the granite. Start in a corner and work your way evenly over the countertop. Rub the polish into the countertop in small circles and make sure to buff the edges too. It’s important to always use a very soft cloth for buffing, as anything more abrasive could scratch the granite. Streaks can easily ruin the appearance of beautifully polished granite! Get a soft cloth and dampen it very lightly with warm water. Use the cloth to wipe down the countertop, removing any remaining baking soda paste or retail granite polish. If you notice any excess water on the countertop after you have wiped it down, use another cloth to dry it off. In most cases, your granite countertop will polish up nicely using simple cleaning agents. However, sometimes the granite can be too deeply scratched or damaged for home remedies to work. Contact a granite restoration professional to get your granite countertop professionally polished and looking as good as new!  Professionals use specialty tools and either wet or dry polishing techniques on the granite. These techniques are only recommended for professionals to use, as they can cause irreversible damage if they are done incorrectly.

article: Curly hair is different from straight hair, and requires special care. People with wavy hair can also use this method. If you have kinky or textured hair, however, you might want to try this one. Here's what you'll need:  Hairdryer Diffuser attachment Wide-tooth comb Leave-in conditioner Gel or styling cream (optional) Hair serum or oil Start from the ends first, and work your way up to the roots in small chunks. Use a wide-tooth comb. You want to do this while your hair is still soaking-wet. Gently squeeze the excess water out of your hair when you are done. Use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to spread the gel through your hair. Start from the roots and work your way down towards the ends. Once you've applied the gel, give your curls a little shake; this will help reshape them. You don't have to do this, but the gel will help give your curls some shape and structure. The diffuser will help distribute the heat and keep your hair from getting too frizzy. It will also help the curls keep their shape. If your hairdryer has a speed setting, use the medium setting. Try not to blow dry the ends of your hair. They tend to be the driest part, so the less heat you use on them, the better. Start with a pea-sized amount. Comb it through your hair using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb if you want it to be straight, or distribute it with your fingers and scrunch your hair with your hands to maintain your curls. Start from your hairline, and work your way back. Apply a pea-sized amount of serum or oil to hair, starting from hairline.  If you used gel and your hair is too clumpy, finger comb your hair a little until the clumps break up. If you want to make your hair appear more full, then gently massage your scalp using your fingers.

Include your name, address (as registered), ward and precinct if known, the address where you'd like your absentee ballot sent, and your signature. If you're voting in a primary, you'll also need to include the party for which you wish to vote.  The majority of states allow for in-person and postal voting when it comes to doing it early. Some states are only postal or in-person and some have no early voting at all. Check your state's policies to see if this is an option. It should come with instructions and various return envelopes. However, if your state allows it, you can go cast your vote in-person before the election (depending on the state, it will be somewhere between 4 and 50 days prior to election day) to avoid the lines and hassle. Then, place it in the smaller brown envelope. Read and complete all information on the front of the envelope. Sign it when you're done.  Make sure all your choices are clearly marked — don't leave any room for interpretation. Follow the instructions on the ballot carefully. Place the proper postage on it, and then mail it to your city/town hall. The address should be indicated somewhere on the form or envelope.   Alternatively, you or a family member can hand your ballot to your local election official. Once more, check with your state's policy. It must be received by the closing time on the date of the election day unless you're voting internationally. In that case, it can be received no more than 10 days after the election, so long as it is postmarked on or before election day.
