Article: Pour the rice into a colander with fine mesh holes. Gently shift the colander so that the rice is evenly spread throughout.  The holes of the colander must be very small. For this reason, a mesh colander is better than a plastic one, since mesh colanders are often available with very fine holes. It is not recommended that you use cheesecloth since the grains of rice will likely stick to the cloth. Note that this part of the process only applies to versions of the recipe that use uncooked rice. If you are using rice that has already been cooked, the cooked rice does not need to be washed. Rinse the rice under running tap water. Continue rinsing until the water dripping out from the bottom of the colander runs clear.  You must wait until the water runs clear. Only then can you be certain that the rice is thoroughly cleaned. Shift the rice gently in its colander or use your hands to gently stir it as it rinses. Doing so will help clean the rice quicker and more thoroughly. Set the colander of rice aside and let the excess water drip out naturally. Wait until the rice air dries before you use it for the dish.  Do not attempt to dry the rice with paper towels or cloth towels. The rice must be thoroughly dry before you add it to the pan in any of these recipes.

Problem: Article: Wash any makeup off of your eyes and lashes. This will help the moisturizing qualities of the Vaseline do its job. Using your clean finger, move the top layer of Vaseline around. This will warm it up and make it easier to apply. You want to get a heavy amount of Vaseline on your wand. It has a tendency to clump onto the front of your brush. If this happens, simply use a damp paper towel to help spread it evenly down your wand. Just as if you were applying mascara, apply the Vaseline to your upper lashes. Coat both sides of your lashes thoroughly, making sure not to get any in your eyes. If you wish, you can smudge some of the Vaseline back over your eyelid for smoother skin. If you have sensitive skin, this may cause a reaction so be sure to test it on the back of your hand before doing this. Dip your wand back in the Vaseline. Being careful, once again, to not get the Vaseline in your eyes, apply it to your bottom lashes. Your lashes will clump together when you apply the Vaseline. However, be careful not to put on too much or it will end up all over your face and sheets. You should use enough to coat your eyelashes evenly in one thin coat. If you apply this every night, the Vaseline will moisturize your lashes which prevents them from breaking off and falling out prematurely. The conditioning qualities will help prolong the cycle of each eyelash, resulting in thicker and longer lashes. When you wake up, wash the Vaseline off. If you have trouble getting the Vaseline off of your eyelashes, try using a cleanser. Because it's oil based, water might not be enough. Use your regular make-up routine during the day. If you do this consistently, you can see results in as little as three days.
Summary: Remove any makeup. Mix the Vaseline. Dip your wand in the Vaseline. Apply to your upper lashes. Apply to your lower lash line. Let it sit. Wash it off in the morning.

up with vocal exercises before singing. You wouldn’t try running a marathon without stretching, so don’t sing without flexing your vocal cords. Start by sighing to gently stretch your vocal cords while also releasing physical and emotional tension. Sing different notes up and down your vocal range. Stop if you feel your vocal cords straining. Warming up your voice does protect your vocal cords, but it also gives you a chance to relax and gain confidence before singing.  Try warming up with lip trills. Put your lips together and vibrate your lips like you’re humming. Practice this with different notes. Also try arpeggios, such as by singing the “Do Re Mi” tonal scale. You can also choose a sound like “Re” and sing it up and down your vocal range. This exercise is called a siren. Don’t forget to use your entire body! This means maintaining your posture and relaxing your jaw. The more you practice, the more comfortable you will feel singing! Make some time so you can listen to yourself sing. As you hear your own voice, you will likely start caring less if others hear it too. In addition, you get plenty of time to improve your vocal skills, which also leads to more confidence.  Unfortunately, practice doesn't mean perfection. Remember to practice healthy singing, such as good posture and stopping when your vocal cords feel strained. You can sing when you’re doing daily tasks like work or cleaning. This can help make singing feel second nature to you. Love your voice because it is uniquely yours. If you don’t want to hear it, then don’t expect the audience to want to hear it either. Any doubt you feel towards your voice shows on your face and in your body language. You are unlikely to ever feel confident if you are busy doubting your voice.  Many famous singers don’t make it on their voices alone. Artists like Bob Dylan, Ozzy Osbourne, Britney Spears, and Madonna aren’t technically gifted vocalists. No one is a “natural.” Success while singing comes from practice as well as confidence from personality, songwriting, and stage presence. The easiest way to get started singing is to learn more skills. A teacher can guide you and give you feedback along the way. Seek out a vocal teacher in your area. Let them cheer you on as you learn to control and master your voice.  Select a voice teacher that is trained in the genre you wish to perform. Express any concerns you have with your teacher. Let them know that your confidence is an area you want to work on. Teachers can show you how to relax and also find songs that challenge your limits. Singing for a vocal teacher can help you gain confidence, but ask other people to listen to you sing too. This can be difficult, so find a setting that works for you. For instance, invite a few trusted friends or family members to listen to you at home.  Not everyone feels comfortable singing in front of people they know. A karaoke bar or open mic night might be better for you. You could also record yourself singing and share it with your friends and family or post it on social media. Have fun while singing. You can ask for feedback, but focus on getting comfortable on stage so you gain confidence.
