Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ensure you have all the necessary items. Outline your new lines. Ready your canvas. Prepare your gelatin. Heat up water for ready-made FX gelatin. Apply your gelatin mixture. Stain your scar to scare. Seal your makeup, if necessary. Remove when finished.

Answer: The gelatin itself that you will need is a cost effective and easy to use substance, and when applied correctly, can give the appearance of scars, wounds, or burns to your skin. To make your gelatin scar, you'll need:  Gelatin applicator (popsicle stick/makeup spatula) Glycerin Gelatin (or ready-made gelatin) Hot water Makeup (scar color) Mixing cup You should have a firm idea of where your new lines of your scars will run on your body. Gelatin is very friendly when it comes to removal, so you don't have to worry about pain if you apply it to an area with hair.  For more artistic scar patterns, gently drawing guide lines with an eyebrow pencil can be very helpful. You might consider hash-mark patterns, jagged lines, or menacing x shaped scars for your look. Whether this is your face or your arm, a clean and dry surface is best for applying your fake scar. A baby wipe works wonders, but if you don't have that available, a mild soap and warm water will do the job just as well. The simplest ratio you can use for mixing up your gelatin scar solution is 1 part gelatin to 1 part hot water in your mixing cup. The problem with this sort of ratio is that the gelatin can get dried out and shrink, putting you at risk for losing your prosthetic scar. Many FX makeup artists recommend adding some glycerin to prevent your scar from drying out too fast.  Add ¼ teaspoon glycerin to your 1:1 gelatin/hot water mixture.  Stir your gelatin mixture thoroughly, otherwise you might have bubbles form in the mixture and spoil the effect. Be prepared to move quickly after preparing your gelatin; gelatin solidifies very quickly. In your mixing cup, bring enough water to surround and heat your gelatin to a piping-hot temperature. Ready made gelatin usually comes in a bottle, which you have to heat to liquefy. Once it is liquid and at a safe temperature, you can apply it to your body. It's always best to test gelatin heated this way on a safe part of your body, like on your hand or forearm, before applying a large quantity of it to your body. Using your gelatin applicator, move the gelatin over the surface of your skin in the fashion that imitates the kind of scar you want to have. Due to the fact that your gelatin will not be malleable for long, you will need to apply your scar to your body fast.  If you are trying to create a scar effect over a large portion of your body, or if you are trying to create an intricate scar pattern, you may need to prepare your gelatin in several batches. While your gelatin is in the final stages of setting, you can tap it gently to create a puckered effect. Now that your gelatin scar is fully set, add some makeup to your scar to make it look more realistic. Foundation or concealer are great for blending the edges of the false scar, but a dash of something more livid can make your scar look like a fresh wound. If you plan on an exciting night out, or if you're the type that can't keep your hands off yourself, you might want to consider using a setting spray to keep your makeup on your gelatin. A smear caused by an accidental gesture will leave your look less than believable. Gelatin applied directly to the skin can be removed easily by peeling it off. Any stubborn bits can be loosened with warm water and a mild soap. This will ensure that all makeup and gelatin have been removed.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hang herbs to dry them for a quick preserving method that doesn't require too much effort. Remove lower leaves from the stems and tie the bunch of herbs together close to the top of the stems. Find a dry, warm (not humid), dark and well ventilated place that is out of the way of pedestrian traffic or constant rummaging. Leave the herbs to dry for 1 - 3 weeks. Remove the leaves and bottle them in airtight glass herb jars (or other jars you have around). Label the jar and date it.

Answer: Ideally, a bunch should contain no more than 5 - 10 stems to facilitate ventilation. The ideal temperature for drying is around 68ºF/20ºC.  If you do not have a dark spot in the house, you can try tying paper lunch bags over each bunch and piercing airholes in the bag. This has the added bonus of also keeping the dust off. Check them every now and then to see how they are drying - thicker stemmed herbs will take longer.  Check to see if their consistency has become crumbly by rubbing a leaf between two fingers.  If they crumble, they are ready to be taken down. Pick out any fluff, woody pieces and other foreign material as you remove the leaves. You can keep the leaves whole, crush them in your fingers to make a really fine ground mix for cooking (but use this quickly to retain flavour) or leave them in leaf shape for tea, garnishes on soups, etc. (these should not be too crumbly).  Seeds should be left whole and crushed only when needed for cooking. Store the herbs for up to one year.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your materials. Remove the bottle cap and cut through the bottle a third of the way down. Place your bait in the bottom of the bottle. Invert the top third of the bottle and slide in into the base. Tape the two pieces of the bottle together and place it anywhere in the room. Be sure to empty your trap consistently.

Answer: This is easy to make and can be put in the corner of the room that has a wasp problem. For this trap, you will need:  Scissors Empty plastic bottle (2L) Tape Bait (watered down dish soap) Be sure to do this carefully with your scissors. You can also use a razor blade if the scissors don't seem to be cutting through the bottle. If you want to add vinegar, it will still attract the wasps but won't attract bees. This is going to form your at-home trap. The wasps will be attracted to the bait, fly through the neck of the bottle, and get stuck in the bottom where they will die. If you wish to hang it, heat two ends of a wire and stick them into either side of the bottle and hang it once the wire is secure. If too many wasps die, they can make a sort of raft for other wasps to live on in the bottom of the trap.

Sleep in varying positions. Use a suitable pillow. Reduce your light exposure an hour or two before going to bed. Add gentle sounds.

Answer:
As well as relaxing you, afterwards your body will cool down, which helps you sleep better. Putting on lotion after will help your skin be moisturized and warm. Magnesium helps with insomnia by decreasing the amount of time it takes to fall asleep. It can also increase the quality and length that you sleep. Magnesium supplements can be purchased in the vitamin section of your pharmacy. According to sleep specialists at the Cleveland Sleep Clinic, sleeping in the nude helps you regulate your temperature. Get a comfortable temperature using blankets or duvet (of suitable warmth), sheets, and pillows. It is usually best to be slightly on the cool side.  Preferably sleep with your arms and head out from under the bedclothes, unless the room is very cold. Feeling too hot? Learn how to sleep comfortably on a hot night. Feeling too cold? Learn how to sleep when it's cold. Keep an extra blanket right by the bed, just in case you get cold at night. Don't neglect your feet—cold feet can keep you awake! If you prefer to wear pajamas because they're more comfortable, loose cotton pajamas are the best as they as a rule breathe more easily than other fabrics. Changing your sleeping position can make a huge difference in the quality of your sleep. When you go to sleep, or if you wake up in the middle of the night, make a conscious effort to follow these guidelines until it becomes habitual:  Keep your body in a "mid-line" position, where both your head and neck are kept roughly straight. This should help you sleep. Avoid sleeping on your stomach. It's difficult to maintain the proper position, and it is more likely to cause aches and pains. If you wish to sleep on your stomach, put your pillow under your hips instead of under your head. If it's too thin, your head will tilt backwards, which is uncomfortable. Likewise, don't stack your pillows so that your head is propped at an angle.  Try placing a pillow between your legs if you sleep on your side. This will support your hips and make this position more comfortable. Try placing a pillow under your legs if you sleep on your back. Bright light before bedtime can disrupt your body's internal clock. It's one of the primary clues to the body that it's either sleep time, or waking time.  If your home is brightly lit late at night, turn off lights you do not need. Stop watching TV and using a computer, tablet or phone at least 2 hours before bedtime. It is recommended to install f.lux or Redshift (if you use linux) onto your computer, which filters blue light from your screen. Blue light can negatively affect your sleep by decreasing the release of sleep hormones. Eliminate all sources of light in your bedroom. This includes windows, LED clocks, computer lights, cable boxes, and other devices with lights (unless they are very dim). You can cover them with heavy paper, cloth covers, masking tape, or just unplug them. Not only will you get a good night's sleep, but you'll also save electricity.  If light still disturbs you or wakes you up in in the morning, wear an eye mask. Sometimes lavender eye "pillows" can be more relaxing. Use a white noise generator that generates various soothing sounds—surf, wind, steam—these are sounds that have no shape, and they can help your brain to de-focus on right now.  White noise has been shown to not only help people fall asleep more quickly, but also it can disguise other noises that may wake you during the night. White noise or natural sound machines are often wonderful. But if you cannot afford one, a fan can make soothing noise. So can a radio tuned to "between stations", where it creates static. Make sure that the radio is not too loud.  Repetitive or ambient music is very good for falling asleep. What's especially important is that there be no dramatic shifts in the dynamics of the music. Ambient music, such as that produced by Brian Eno, is ideal. Just be sure that the music stops or fades out in about an hour, or it could keep you from experiencing really deep sleep. Turn your phone off, or to silent mode (if you use its alarm), so you will not be disturbed with texts, phone calls, and notifications. If you know that you have to be somewhere go to bed earlier.
