If possible, go even bolder by painting each nail a different color. Although you will be applying a clear topcoat, preserve your manicure by using strong polish for the details. Make sure the base coat is fully dry before you attempt to design your skull. Also, while you can get away with only one coat, consider painting two base coats for a stronger manicure. You’ll want your skulls to be looking outward instead of at you. One way to approach this is to paint two small slanted ovals side by side with the ends touching each other. If you don’t have a brush try using a toothpick or even the tip of a dried out felt tip pen. If you add the top coat too soon your skulls will smudge.

Summary: Select five neon nail polish colors. Choose black lacquer nail polish so that your skull faces won’t chip easily. Apply your neon polish base coat and allow the nail polish to dry. Create your skull eyes by placing two black lacquer nail polish ovals toward the base of your nails. Design the skull nose by drawing an upside down heart in black polish underneath the eyes. Draw the teeth using a nail art striper brush for a clean, linear effect. Provide ample dry time before adding the clear top coat.


When you're preparing for your licensing exams, you should take advantage of the prep materials offered by NCEES, the same company which administers the exams. NCEES offers practice exams that you can take to become familiar with the format of the exam. They also provide copies of their handbooks, which you will be able to reference during the exams. Depending on your field of study, the hardest part of the FE and PE exams is usually the general knowledge section, since this tests a broad range of subjects you might not be as familiar with. For example, an electrical engineer might not have as much knowledge about beams. Practice exams can help you identify the areas you might struggle with during the test. After you graduate, you should take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. This is the first step in becoming a licensed engineer, regardless of your field of study. The FE exam is administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). It’s an open-book, multiple choice exam that is about 8 hours long and covers basic and advanced engineering principles. To prepare for the FE exam, sign up for a review course and take sample tests online. Since you will be able to use your book during the test, get a copy of the NCEES handbook and become familiar with its contents. This will help you easily access the information you need during the test. Once you’ve completed 4 years of field experience, you’ll need to take the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Civil exam. This is an 8-hour open-book exam with 80 questions related to advanced civil engineering concepts.The PE Civil exam is offered twice a year.  The PE Civil exam includes 2 parts. The first part, administered in the morning, includes questions from the 5 main areas of practice in civil engineering. These include construction, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation, and water resources and environmental engineering. The second part of the test, given in the afternoon, focuses on a single one of these 5 areas of practice, selected by you when you register for the exam.  The PE exam is necessary to become a licensed professional engineer. The test is designed to be challenging, but not impossible to pass, so take preparation seriously.

Summary: Prepare for both the the FE and PE exams with NCEES prep materials. Take sample tests to help you study for the FE and PE exams. Take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. Pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam.


Quickly navigate to the website. Then find the Manage Orders or Customer Service tab. In this section, you’ll be able to navigate to a list of your online purchases. Look for the specific purchase and cancel it. Remember, though, the quicker you cancel, the better your chances of not having to pay anything. Some websites will require you to send a message to a customer service representative before they confirm cancellation. Be succinct and direct when you send your message. If you’re unable to cancel the purchase online, you’ll have to call customer service. When you speak to customer service, provide them with your order number and tell them you want to cancel it. They may be able to cancel immediately.  The customer service number is usually found under “contact” information toward the bottom of the website. Be very polite. For example, say “please” and “thank you.” If they say they can’t cancel the order, ask to speak with a supervisor. Many companies will not let you cancel a purchase freely if you just changed your mind about a product.  Thus, you need to provide a legitimate reason for why you no longer want the product. Some reasons may include:  The ad listing misrepresents the product. You found a cheaper price. The product is damaged or is not the exact product you ordered. If you are able to cancel your order, write down the confirmation number that the website or customer service representative gives you. This way, if there is an issue with the order in the future, you'll be able to reference your cancellation. After your order is cancelled, you should receive a refund. This may take a few days, so you’ll have to check your bank account or credit card statement regularly. Remember: Under (United States) law, if you paid with a debit card, cash, or check, your money must be refunded within seven work days. If you purchased with a credit card, your money must be refunded within a billing cycle.

Summary: Cancel online immediately. Call customer service. Give a valid, specific reason. Write down the transaction or cancellation ID number. Verify you received a refund.


Use basic grooming to stay clean and neat. Brush your hair regularly and keep it well washed. Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Avoid getting caught up in beauty regimes that suck away time you could be using more productively to play sport, read a book, get more sleep or invent a new life-changing product. Instead, find quick and easy ways that work best for your needs. Soap and water are just as good for keeping clean as any other product and they're cheaper and contain less unknown ingredients. Don't feel that you have to slather on shower gel, bath lotion or smelly products unless you really enjoy these items. Join a sports team or just go for a run or jog every day or few days. Eat healthy, don't stuff yourself with junk food and sit at the computer all day.  Eat seasonal foods; these are nutritionally better for you as they haven't been stored as long. Eat locally, the food won't have traveled as far and will also be nutritionally good for you. Find a sport or form of exercise that works for you. Don't assume that you have to use the gym, jog or do crossfit if you don't enjoy them. There are plenty of ways to stay active and feel good about what you're doing to stay fit. Look for your preferred ones and link up with friends who also enjoy the same activities. If you don't want to go outside to exercise, know that you still could do simple exercises at hone. You could to crunches, sit ups, push ups, curl ups and pull ups. You could also watch a fitness DVD and follow along with them. Don't assume that you have to use them and always be informed about what the products are made from and what the ingredients might mean for your health and well-being. In some cases, products can cause allergic reactions, which is not healthy for you. Check out the Safe Cosmetics website at http://www.safecosmetics.org/ and the Skin Deep Cosmetics Database at http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/, so that you can make informed choices about the makeup products you choose to use.
Summary: Look after yourself. Stay in good shape. Be informed about beauty products.
