Q: Raw sugar makes a powerful body scrub, great for feet and extra-rough skin. Brown sugar has smaller grains and plenty of liquid, making it the most gentle option. Granulated white sugar falls somewhere in between: it has the same size grains as brown sugar, but none of the liquid molasses. Before you begin, be aware that the scrub can cause temporary blotchiness in sensitive skin. Just in case, wait until you have an evening to yourself before trying it for the first time. Olive oil is a common option, but any natural carrier oil will work. The oil makes it easy to apply the sugar, and can help your skin health at the same time. Choose the oil based on your skin type and personal preference:  For greasy skin, try safflower oil, hazelnut oil, or grapeseed oil. For very dry skin, try coconut oil, shea butter, or cocoa butter. Optionally, whip it for easy spreading. To avoid strong scents, try grapeseed oil, safflower oil, and sweet almond oil. Mix 1 part sugar with 1 part oil for a basic scrub, forming a thick paste. For a more powerful scrub, try 2 parts sugar and 1 part oil.  If using white sugar, the 2:1 recipe is recommended.  If you are treating an area with acne or broken blood vessels, use a very mild scrub, such as 1 part sugar to 2 parts oil. Exfoliants can make these conditions worse. For additional scent and possible health benefits, add an essential oil. No more than 1 or 2 percent of the scrub should be essential oil. Typically, you can use up to 48 drops per cup (240mL) of other ingredients, or three drops for every tablespoon (15mL).  Thyme, mint, and other herbs and spices make antimicrobial essential oils. These are good at fighting acne but may cause irritation in sensitive skin. Do not use citrus oils, cumin, ginger, and angelic oils before talking to your doctor. These can trigger photosensitivity, a painful reaction to sunlight. If your skin is dirty, use mild soap and warm water to wash it. If your skin is clean, just wet it thoroughly. Scrubbing dry skin can cause redness or irritation. Hot water or harsh soaps can irritate your skin, leaving it tender and painful. Skin in this state might hurt even when a gentle sugar scrub is used. Gently rub the sugar and oil mixture over your skin. Rub in circular motions, for about 2 or 3 minutes in each area. Rub gently; any pain, discomfort, or redness means you are scrubbing too hard. Rinse off with warm water, and pat dry. Optionally, apply a moisturizing lotion, or an additional touch of oil without the sugar. Your outer layer of skin takes about two weeks to replace itself. If you repeat the scrub before this time is up, you may damage living cells instead of removing dead ones. This leads to red, raw skin, which may be vulnerable to infection.
A: Start with brown, white, or raw sugar. Choose your oil. Mix the sugar with oil. Mix in essential oil (optional). Wash your skin. Scrub with the sugar mixture. Rinse and dry. Repeat no more than once every two weeks.

Article: Washing the scallions before freezing them is especially important if they’re fresh from your garden. Fill a large bowl with the water and vinegar and place the scallions in it. Let them soak for a few minutes before you rinse them off in the sink. That way they’ll be ready to use when you take them out of the freezer. Lay the scallions flat on a cutting board and cut off the roots with a sharp knife. The roots are the white parts at the ends of the stalks. Then, bring the knife from one end of the stalks to the other, making swift cuts through the scallions every .25 inches (0.64 cm) or so. Use a baking sheet that can fit in your freezer. Line it with parchment paper so the scallions don’t stick to the metal. Freezing the scallions on a baking sheet first will prevent them from clumping together in the freezer. After 3 hours, remove the baking sheet. It’s OK if they’re not completely frozen yet. Open the bag and use a spatula to slide the scallion pieces off the baking sheet and into the bag. Once all the scallions are in the bag, use your hands to press excess air out from the bag and then seal it.  Write the date on the plastic bag so you know how long the scallions have been frozen for. If you don’t have a sealable freezer bag, put the scallions in an empty water bottle with the cap on instead. Frozen scallions lose their crunchy texture, so avoid putting them on salads or other recipes without cooking them first. To use your frozen scallions, simply remove them from the freezer bag and add them to the dish you’re cooking. Frozen scallions can last up to a year in the freezer.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Soak the scallions in 5 parts water and 1 part white vinegar, then rinse. Chop the scallions into small pieces. Spread the chopped scallions on a small, lined baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the freezer for 3 hours. Transfer the scallions into a sealable freezer bag. Freeze the scallions until you’re ready to cook with them.

Q: Especially if you don’t have much practice dancing yet, look into taking as many different classes as you can. Focus on hip hop and urban dancing. A big part of being a trainee (and hopefully an idol!) is being able to perform exceptionally, and that includes dancing. If you can’t take actual classes, use the internet to learn new skills. Even if you’re already a great singer, chances are you could still learn something from a coach. If nothing else, they can give you tips to increase your endurance when you perform. If your main skill is dancing, that is okay! But having the ability to sing will increase your odds of getting noticed when you audition to become a trainee. Rapping is an important part of the K-pop lifestyle, and it can also be fun! Listen to more rap music to get an idea of the rhythm and start imitating your favorite artists. If you get caught up on the words, practice tongue twisters to loosen your lips. When you audition, you’ll need to perform songs that the producers already know, but when you’re a trainee, you’ll be working on writing and choreographing your own original music. It’s a good idea to work on both aspects of being a performer. Take a music writing class if you can, and spend a lot of time listening to K-pop and watching music videos so you can start emulating popular styles.
A:
Take dance classes to become a better and more versatile dancer. Invest in a vocal coach to strengthen your singing abilities. Work on your rapping skills to round out your skill set. Practice writing your own music and perfecting well-known songs.
