Cut open an avocado vertically and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh out into a small mixing bowl and use a fork or spoon to mash it up so it becomes one consistency. The skin of an avocado is really thin, so be careful when you're cutting into it that you don't accidentally slice your hand. Measure out the avocado oil and whisk together the mixture until the two ingredients are completely combined. If needed, use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you mix. You could also add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of honey or a few drops of essential oils to your face mask. Start with a clean face, so if you were wearing makeup or just got back from the gym, give your face a quick wash and pat it dry. Then, scoop up the mask with your fingers and spread it all over. Make sure to get your forehead, nose, chin, cheeks, and around the sides of your eyes. If you want to, you could even put the mask on your upper neck. Set a timer and relax while your mask does its work. Watch a TV show, take a bath, or listen to some of your favorite music. After the 10 to 15 minutes have passed, wipe away the mask with a warm, damp washcloth. Make sure to get any remnants left on your hairline or around your ears.

Summary: Mash 1 ripe avocado in a small bowl. Add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of avocado oil to the bowl with the mashed avocado. Apply the mask to your entire face. Let the mask absorb into your skin for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse away the mask with warm water.


Stand up as straight as you can and make sure that your feet are flat on the ground. Position your heels against the wall so that your back lightly touches the wall. Check that your shoulders aren't hunched forward or pulled back and that they are resting comfortably. Make sure you feel comfortable in your position, as it's important to stand still while you're being measured. Lift your arms up to create a straight line from your shoulders to your elbows and aim to get both of your arms at a right angle to your body. Make sure that your arms are parallel with the floor and that your shoulders feel loose and relaxed.  It can be helpful to get your friend to check for you if your arms are parallel to the floor, as this is difficult to do without seeing. Alternatively, stand in front of a mirror while you are measuring your reach so that you can check your posture. Turn the backs of your hands so they face outward. Look to each side and check that you can see a straight line connecting your middle fingers and your elbows. Make any necessary adjustments to your position if you need to. Overall, your shoulders, elbows, and middle fingers need to line up in a straight line. Keep your back and arms straight, and your elbows aligned. Stretch outward along the wall starting with your shoulders and then with your elbows. Try to stretch your arms as wide as possible so that you get the best measurement of your reach. Get your friend to take a step back and check that your arms are straight again, as otherwise, this could skew your measurement.

Summary: Stand with your back flat against the wall and your shoulders straight. Straighten your arms against the wall at a 90° angle to your body. Face your palms to the wall and align your fingers with your elbows. Stretch your arms as far as possible while maintaining this position.


Along with corn, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, and beans grow well in temperatures between 60 to 80 °F (16 to 27 °C). These plants should not be exposed to frost. So make sure the majority of growing time is during warm weather for any of these vegetables.Capsicum and all vine crops also grow well in warm weather. You can dig the holes with your hands or another instrument. Each hole should be at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) apart. The holes should be almost or completely filled with the compost. You can plant 2 to 3 seedlings per hole. How often you water your garden largely depends on what you plant. Check your garden daily to see how wet or dry the soil is. Water whenever the soil feels dry. Certain vegetables will grow and be ready to harvest at different times during the year. For example, your broccoli will grow and be ready during a cooler time of year—like autumn.  But your tomatoes will grow and be ready for your salad during warm weather. Watch for your vegetables to reach full size and whichever color represents ripeness for each type of vegetable before picking. You can make compost out of things like yard clippings, table scraps, eggshells, and leaves. Compost at the beginning of spring and at the beginning of autumn if you plan to do it twice a year.

Summary: Pick vegetables like corn in warm to hot weather. Create small, 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep holes. Fill the holes with compost. Create a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) hole in the compost and plant seeds. Keep the soil in your garden damp at all times. Harvest vegetables throughout the year. Add compost once or twice a year to keep your garden healthy.


The most telling sign that your blood is not coagulating fast enough is excessive bleeding. It should not take longer than ten minutes for a small cut or scrape to stop bleeding, with anywhere from one to nine minutes being normal. If you are still bleeding after ten minutes, see a doctor as soon as possible. If you or someone else is losing substantial amounts of blood, provide first aid and get to a hospital as quickly as possible. In addition to excessive bleeding following a minor injuries, other symptoms may also indicate a bleeding disorder. These include unexpected or sudden bruising, red or pink urine, and black or bloody bowel movements. Dark spots in your vomit (which will look like coffee grounds) may also indicate a bleeding disorder. If any of these symptoms appear, see a doctor as soon as possible. Recurring or persistent dizziness, headaches, and vision changes may also indicate a bleeding disorder, as well as joint pain, bleeding gums, or irregularly heavy or long-lasting menstrual periods. Your doctor will need to do blood tests to determine whether you have a bleeding disorder. In addition to evaluating the contents of your blood (such as the amount of platelets and proteins), your doctor will also order a test to determine the efficiency of your blood’s coagulation process. There may be a serious underlying cause for a bleeding disorder that requires treatment. There are also treatments that can help remedy symptoms of a bleeding disorder directly. Follow your doctor’s guidance regarding any sort of treatment for a bleeding disorder.  Potential treatment options include Vitamin K injections, plasma or platelet transfusions, or medications. If you are diagnosed with a bleeding disorder, expect to take medication to help ensure your blood will be able to coagulate when necessary.
Summary: Monitor the length of time that a minor cut bleeds. Recognize other symptoms of a potential bleeding disorder. Get a formal medical diagnosis. Consider treatment options.
