Problem: Article: When you purchase your boots, you need to protect them against damage from the elements. Lay out the boots on newspaper in a well-ventilated area, hold the silicone polymer spray about a foot (30.48 cm) from the boots and spray evenly.  You can find silicone polymer spray at department stores and some shoe stores. This type of spray is generally safe on all leather, including suede, but check the packaging to make sure. After spraying both boots, let the boots dry for about 30 minutes. Then apply another coat for extra protection and let it dry for 30 more minutes. After the second coat dries, the boots will be ready to wear. It’s important to apply waterproofing spray consistently, especially if you're in a wet climate. If you wear your boots in a dry climate or mostly indoors, apply spray to clean boots every few months, otherwise, apply the spray every month or so to protect your boots.
Summary: Spray new boots with silicone polymer spray. Apply another coat after 30 minutes. Apply waterproofing spray every few months.

Problem: Article: To make liposomal vitamin C, you will need some special ingredients and tools. You can find most of the ingredients in a well-stocked grocery store, but you may also order them online. For example, lecithin may be difficult to find in a grocery store. To make liposomal vitamin C, you will need:  Distilled water Vodka (40% alcohol) Vitamin C powder or tablets (also sold as ascorbic acid) Powdered lecithin derived from soy or sunflower seeds (make certain the product you buy does not contain GMOs) High power blender Scale that measures in grams or ounces Large glass container, such as a measuring cup or beaker Large mason jar It is necessary to use steam-distilled water for this recipe. Do not use regular tap water. Measure and pour the water and the vodka into the glass container. If you have a measuring cup with measurements on the side, then this is ideal. Measure out 6 ounces of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) powder and add it to the vodka and water mixture. Stir the vitamin C into the water and vodka until the vitamin C is completely dissolved.  To make sure that the vitamin C powder is fully dissolved, you may also want to heat this mixture in a ceramic pan until it reaches 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). If you are using vitamin C tablets, then you will need to crush them first. You can use a mortar and pestle if you have one or put tablets into a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. You will need to weigh out 7 ounces of lecithin and add it to the vitamin C, water, and vodka mixture. You may use soy-derived or sunflower-derived lecithin for this recipe. Then Pour the vitamin C, water, vodka, and lecithin into the blender. Blend the ingredients on high for about four minutes and then put the blender in the refrigerator for a few hours. Then take the blender out and blend the ingredients for four minutes again and then return the mixture to the refrigerator for a few more hours. Continue to blend and refrigerate five or six times over the next 24 hours. At this point, you have created liposomal vitamin C that you can store and use. It is not necessary to do anything else. Using an ultrasonic unit will increase the number of liposomes that you create, but it is not absolutely necessary since you have already created some liposomes by blending the ingredients.
Summary: Gather your ingredients. Measure out nine ounces of distilled water and 12 ounces of vodka. Add 6 ounces of vitamin C powder to the water. Blend in the lecithin. Transfer your liposomal vitamin C into a large mason jar.

Problem: Article: It’s tempting to ask someone out through text or social media. However, it’s better to do it face to face so that everything is interpreted the way you want it to be. She will see your facial expression, hear the tone of your voice, and understand clearly what your intentions are.  If you send her a casual text asking if she wants to hang out that night, the implication will be that you’re just friends. This ends up keeping you in the Friend Zone, which is precisely where you don’t want to be. Have the conversation somewhere you both feel comfortable, like one of your usual hang out spots or during a lunch break. Try not to be nervous when you talk to her. If you are at ease, it will make her feel that way, too. These situations can get awkward very quickly – try to avoid that by continuing the easygoing vibe you already share as friends.  Keep everything positive and speak to her in a warm, genuine way. She will take her cues from you, so remember to stay calm and keep it positive. You don’t have to make a big production out of it, but it’s important that she knows that you want to go out with her, not hang out with her. Being completely passive when you have feelings for someone is one of the major reasons why people end up permanently in the Friend Zone.  Say something like, “I really love hanging out with you and I’m starting to have feelings for you as more than a friend. I’m hoping that maybe you’re starting to feel that way, too. I think it would be awesome to take you out on a proper date.” By keeping your feelings to yourself, you might miss your chance with her completely. Don’t be ambiguous. Instead of saying, “So, would you like to go out some time?” ask her out for a specific day and activity. Your first date doesn’t have to be anything super formal. Even something as simple as, “Would you like to see the new exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum with me this Saturday?” will work.  Try to pick something that you two have never done together before, so that it has a completely different vibe from one of your regular hang out sessions. If you choose an activity that you already regularly do together, she might not completely realize your intentions.
Summary: Ask her out in person. Stay calm and smile. Be direct. Have a date activity already in mind.

Problem: Article: Vitamins E and C are particularly helpful in beating dark spots. Put vitamin E directly on your dark spots before sleeping. Open a vitamin E capsule or purchase liquid vitamin E in a bottle. Dab the liquid onto your dark spots. This will provide the skin with plentiful antioxidants to help even your skin tone. Additionally, eat foods with high vitamin C content, like strawberries or oranges. This will help reduce hyperproduction of melanin. Using products from your kitchen cupboard to reduce your dark spots is economical and often safer for your skin. Natural products usually lack harmful chemicals that can wreak havoc on delicate skin. Fruits, dairy products, and oils all have beneficial properties for helping your skin.  Using circular motions, gently rub castor oil into your skin twice a day. This will bleach your dark spots. Apply green tea extract to your skin. This will give your skin antioxidants to help remove free radicals and produce healthier collagen. Dab milk with a cotton ball onto your dark spots. Leave the milk on your skin for eight to ten minutes. Wash it away. Do this twice daily for six weeks. Rub aloe vera on dark spots. Doing this once or twice daily for several weeks can reduce hyperpigmentation. Dab lemon juice on your dark spots for two weeks. This works well for dark spots from acne. Additional natural products that work to reduce dark spots include pineapple, honey, horseradish, yogurt, cucumber, potato, turmeric, papaya, and tomato.   Leave any one of these items on your dark spot for two to three minutes. Wash them off and after several weeks, your dark spots can lessen. Creating a mask to remove your dark spots has two major effects. First, wearing a mask can be meditative and relaxing. Second, masks stay on your face for several minutes. This gives your natural treatment time to soak into your skin. Create a mixture of raw honey and brown sugar. Mix 1 tbsp raw honey with 1 tbsp brown sugar. Place the brown sugar and honey in a small bowl. Mix together well. Store in a glass jar with an airtight lid. Keep the mixture at room temperature. Wash your face well and then apply a ½ tbsp of the scrub to your wet skin. Massage the mixture gently in a circular motion. Avoid your delicate eye area. Rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat it dry.
Summary:
Use vitamins. Use natural products. Make a homemade mask.
