Article: Add 1 tablespoon (12.5 g) of brown sugar and ½ tablespoon (7.5 ml) of olive oil to a small bowl or dish. Stir the two ingredients together until they’re fully blended. You can adjust the amount of olive oil. You need just enough to help the sugar stick together, so if you prefer a grainy scrub, you can mix in less than ½ tablespoon (7.5 ml). Once the sugar and olive oil are mixed, use your finger to gently apply the scrub to your lips. Massage it in for approximately 30 to 60 seconds to slough off the dead skin. You can use the scrub once a week. When your lips are extremely chapped in colder months, you may want to use it twice a week. After you’ve massaged the scrub in, wet a washcloth with warm water. Gently wipe your lips with the cloth until all of the scrub is removed. Be sure to follow up with a lip balm to help soothe and hydrate your lips.

Mix the brown sugar and olive oil. Rub the scrub across your lips. Wipe the scrub off with a damp washcloth.
Article: The most common cause of popeye is dirty water, and the best form of prevention is frequently replacing the dirty tank water with fresh water. Always have clean water in the betta’s fish tank or bowl to ensure that it won’t get popeye.  If your betta is kept in a bowl or tank that holds two gallons of water or less, do a 50% water change every week. If your betta is kept in a larger aquarium, change 10-25% of the total water every 2–4 weeks. Clean the tank every week if you don’t have a filter and every two weeks if you do.  Gently remove your betta fish with a net and place it into a separate clean bowl of water. Dump out all of the water in the fish tank, remove all rocks and decorations, and rinse them with clean water. Using a paper towel, scrub the inside walls of the tank. Put the rocks and decorations back in the tank and fill the tank most of the way with bottled drinking water or pretreated tap water before putting your betta fish back in. The natural habitat for betta fish is warm, stagnant water. Make sure the water is kept between 76 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit (24.4-27.7 degrees Celsius) in order to provide a healthy environment for your fish. Use paper pH test strips to test how basic or acidic your betta’s water is. The pH should be kept at 6.5 or 7.  If the pH is too high, filter water through peat moss before putting it in the tank. If the pH is too low, add baking soda or shells to the tank. Bettas prefer soft water, so keep the dH at 25 or lower. Go to a pet store to get specialized products that can extract the magnesium and calcium from your water if it is too hard. Different fish require different environments, so make sure that you don’t add any fish to your tank that have conflicting environmental needs. Popeye often occurs when the tank water is not kept at the proper levels, and adding a new fish that thrives in a different kind of ecosystem might throw off those levels.

Change the water regularly. Clean your fish tank every 1–2 weeks. Keep the tank water warm. Keep the tank water slightly acidic. Purchase a dH kit to determine water hardness. Carefully introduce new fish to the fish tank.
Article: as fast as possible. If you have just cut down a tree, make the wood into lumber as soon as you can. Processing opens up the wood and helps the drying process, which can prevent stain and rot from affecting the wood. Try and find an indoor location like a hayloft or shed or an outdoor location that is in the shade. Avoid locations like garages which likely don't have enough airflow. Never store wood in the basement or inside boxes as they dry, they definitely won't have enough airflow.  Remember that your wood needs to dry in an area with a similar moisture content that the finished product will be exposed to. For example, if you plan to use the wood to make a chair that will be placed in a dry area of your home, store it in an area with similarly low moisture content Point an electric household fan toward your wood between your cutting sessions to improve airflow. This circulation will help your wood dry in at least half the time that it normally would. Exposed ends can lead to drying that is too fast, which paves the way for end-grain cracking and splits. And since moisture escapes wood 10 to 12 times quicker from the ends, leaving them exposed is damaging to the wood. Apply paraffin wax, shellac, polyurethane, or latex paint to the ends in a uniform manner so that both are completely covered. Try to do so as soon as possible—within minutes—for the best results. Purchase specially formulated end grain sealers from woodworking or home hardware stores if you don't mind paying a bit more money. When you're cutting your lumber, cut the pieces to the same lengths and thicknesses. Afterward, these equal dimensions will make it easier to stack them in a manner that exposes each side to air. Use small pieces of 3⁄4 by 11⁄2 inch (1.9 cm × 14.0 cm) wood, also known as stickers, to create space between each side and increase ventilation. Use spacers every 12 inches (30 cm) for thinner pieces and 16 inch (41 cm) or 24 inch (61 cm) spacing for thicker pieces. Don't cover the entire pile of wood to the ground—this will hold in moisture. By just covering the top, you can ensure that each piece is adequately shaded without trapping moisture. Skip this step if you're storing your wood indoors or somewhere with adequate shade. If you're using a pin-type moisture meter, press the 2 tips of the device into your wood. Afterward, turn it on and examine the moisture reading. For pinless meters, press the base of the scanning plane to the wood and activate it. Moisture readings are a percentage between 0 and 100. Buy both types of moisture meters from online suppliers and home hardware stores.

Process your logs Store your wood in a shaded location with ample airflow. Seal off the ends of each piece of lumber immediately after cutting to prevent moisture decay. Stack your lumber uniformly to expose all sides to airflow. Cover the top of your wood with a tarp or plastic sheeting. Measure the moisture content (MC) of your wood with a moisture meter.
