Q: If you prefer a stronger, more concentrated taste, stick with only 2 cups (500 milliliters) of filtered water. If you are unaccustomed to the taste of wheatgrass, however, or if you find it overpowering, dilute the juice more by using 3 cups (750 milliliters) of water instead. If you like, you can substitute the water with fresh-squeezed orange juice or coconut juice instead. This can give the wheatgrass shot you'll be preparing a bit more flavor. Blending for about 60 seconds should suffice. You should be left with an emerald green juice with chunks of pulp floating at the surface. Note that the grass may get tangled around the blades of the blender if the blades of grass are too long. This will not be an issue in most cases, and you can simply clean the blades of your blender after you finish getting the juice out. Pay attention to possible signs of trouble, though, like a slowing blade or the sounds of a struggling motor. If you suspect that the wheatgrass is clogging your blender, you may need to fish out the wayward wheatgrass before you continue blending. The strainer should have fine gaps, and it should be no larger than the mouth of the bowl you place it over. The cheesecloth should be large enough to hang over the sides of your strainer. Most of the liquid should flow through without much effort on your part. This juice should also flow through the cheesecloth and into the container. Continue pressing down on the wheatgrass until no more juice comes out. The lemon is only optional, but it enhances the flavor of the wheatgrass while preserving the juice a little longer. Mix with a spatula or spoon to combine. This can be especially useful if you stick to water instead of using juice for your blended mix. Serve it chilled or with ice. Wheatgrass can be best enjoyed in shot form.
A: Put 1/2 cup (113 grams) of chopped wheatgrass into a blender with 2 to 3 cups (500 to 750 milliliters) of filtered water. Blend the wheatgrass and water together using the highest speed. Place a mesh strainer over a clean glass bowl. Line the strainer with cheesecloth. Pour the wheatgrass from your blender through the cheesecloth and strainer. Using a rubber spatula, press down on the wheatgrass pulp to squeeze out additional juice. Squeeze juice from a lemon half into the bowl of wheatgrass juice. Transfer the wheatgrass from the container into glasses to enjoy.

Q: To begin the process of grooming your Pomeranian, swab out his/her ears with a cotton swab dipped in a non-alcohol-based cleaner. Simply lift up the dog's ear to expose the skin and gently clean the area with the cotton dipped in the cleaner.   Never put any cotton tips or cotton buds down into the ear canal. If the dog moves suddenly it could force the cotton bud deep into the ear and cause damage. The non-alcohol-based cleaner will not sting the dog's ear like alcohol may. Carefully trim the dogs nails by lifting their paws from behind and allowing the leg to bend at the joint. This is easier than trying to pull the paw toward you from the front. Try to identify the quick and leave a 4 to 5 millimeters length of nail to protect the quick. If you can't see the quick, nibble tiny amounts of nail away with the clippers just in case the dog has long quicks, which could bleed.  Cut the nails using clippers specifically made for trimming dog nails. Keep styptic powder nearby to stop bleeding if you do accidentally cut the nails too short. After you have trimmed your Pomeranian's nails, use a file made for dog nails to file until smooth. Be sure to praise your pet when you are finished in order to help them be more cooperative when you trim their nails in the future.
A: Clean your Pomeranian's ears. Trim the dog's nails. File the dog's nails.

Q: Some people like to start their song by writing the lyrics, but if you’re not an experienced songwriter, it can be tricky to find a melody or track to fit those lyrics.   Look for a beat that you like, then write the rest of the song to fit that beat. You should also consider using a slower beat if you are planning to write a love song that is sensual and sexy for your crush. Pay close attention to the melody and rhythm of the track and try to fit your lyrics into what’s already there. If your crush likes a certain genre of music, like pop or hip hop, you can also look for a backing track that falls within that genre. If you play an instrument or are musically inclined, you may be able to write the melody for the song yourself. Start by picking a simple chord progression, then build the melody for the song on top of that.  Try strumming or playing the chord progression while vocally improvising a melody. Record your improvisation and listen to it back to see if there’s anything you want to keep. Start with a basic chord progression, like D-E-A or Am-F-C-G. Sometimes a melody will pop into your head, fully formed, but sometimes you have to work a little harder. Practice singing the melody of a hit song, then fooling around with the melody to make it your own.  Change the pitches of the ghost melody to be higher or lower. Where the song usually rises, have the melody fall instead. Try syncopating the beat or adding pauses where there’s usually music.
A: Find a backing track. Write the melody yourself. Use a ghost melody to inspire the song.

Q: You can either break apart an aloe vera leaf and rub the gel onto your bites or use a commercially bottled aloe vera gel. You can wash with green or black tea, comfrey tea or a tea made from fresh or dried lavender flowers. Alternatively, you can place used tea bags directly onto the bites. Try crushed basil or calendula flowers. You can also try just a drop or 2 of basil oil. You can make an oatmeal bath on your own, or you can buy the oatmeal bath at your local grocery or drugstore. Tepid water is important. Hot water has a tendency to dry your skin out. Make or buy a tincture of echinacea and put just a few drops onto the bite. You can also make a skin wash from fresh echinacea flowers and warm water. Mash the coconut up, and then put the pieces in the blender, shell and all. After you blast it, you should have a nice pulp, and this is what you are going to use to treat your flea bites. Rub the paste onto the affected areas, and wrap in a towel for about an hour, and then just wash it off. You should do this about three times and you should notice the swelling of the bites reducing in that time. Then just do it again before you go to bed and you should be almost all clear in the morning. If not, just repeat the process.
A:
Apply some aloe vera gel to your bites. Wash the bites with tea. Crush the leaves of healing plants and rub them on the bites. Take a tepid oatmeal bath. Try echinacea. Use coconut pulp.
