The only general rule to oiling your hair is that you should comb through it to prevent tangling and messy oil application. Beyond that, there's debate over whether hair should be clean when oiled. Some swear that oiling works better when the hair is already a little bit oily and dirty — say two or three days after your last shampooing. Others insist that oiling works best soon after you've shampooed your hair — when it’s clean and bare. Try it both ways to decide what you prefer. Especially if you’re new to oiling your hair, there’s a good chance you’re going to make a mess.  Spread old towels or paper towels around the area where you’re going to work. This includes table surfaces and floors. Have an extra hand rag available for spot-cleaning drippy messes. If you’re going to sleep with oil in your hair, protect your pillows with plastic pillowcase coverings.

Food-themed gift baskets are among the most common, and the traditional wicker basket is an appropriate fit in many cases. If you want to vary from this, however, try to stick baskets or containers that have a comforting, cozy ambiance. For example, you could stack wine and cheese items on a cheeseboard, place gourmet coffees and teas in a burlap gift sack, or arrange fruits and wines in a wooden crate. Knowing that you want to treat the recipient to a basket of delicious food is a good starting point, but “food” is too general to stand as a solid theme. Try to pick a specific type of food or common food pairing and work from there.  Popular examples can include:  Wine and cheese baskets, containing one or two bottles of wine and several blocks of cheese to accompany the wine; Gourmet tea or coffee baskets, accented with tea biscuits or coffee cake; Chocolate baskets, containing chocolate goodies in multiple forms; Fruit and nut baskets, offering several types of fresh fruit and cans of salted or flavored nuts.   Think of the receiver's favorite foods. If the receiver loves chocolate, then some type of chocolate theme is probably a good way to go. On the other hand, that same basket would be a bad choice for someone who lacks a sweet tooth. Consider the time of year. Certain seasons and holidays are associated with different types of food, and you could build a theme around that. For example, autumn is associated with pumpkin, apples, cinnamon, and caramels; winter calls to mind hot chocolate and mint. The exact combination will depend on the theme you choose and your own talents in the kitchen, as well as the amount of time you'll need to wait before delivering the basket.  If you plan to present the basket later that same day or the following day, you can probably include more fresh foods like fruits, cheeses, and homemade baked goods. These won't work if you're making the basket a week in advance, though. Opt for preserved foods, commercially prepared foods, or ready-mixes if you need to save the basket for more than a few days. Ready-mixes also work well for recipients who enjoy spending time cooking in the kitchen.

Insert your pliers into the pump or hose. Then, latch the end of the pliers onto the item clogging your drain. Slowly begin to tug the item out of the pump or hose.  Go slowly so that you don't break up the clog or damage the pump. It’s possible that a clog inside your pump is wrapped around the spinning mechanism inside the pump. It’s usually easier to remove a clog from the hose. It should slide out easily if you just pull. Feel below your machine to find a small pulley that’s directly below the pump. This pulley will turn the spinning mechanism inside the pump. As you pull a clog out of the pump, turn the pulley counterclockwise to help unwind the clog.  Turning the pulley will help you avoid damaging the pump. If turning your pump counterclockwise isn’t helping, try turning it clockwise instead. Detach the pipe and hold 1 end while you place the other in a bucket. Insert the end of the plumber’s snake into the hose. Ease it deeper into the pipe until you reach the clog. Then, use your hands to manually turn the snake as you push it through the clog. You should see the clog drop into the bucket. After you remove the clog, water that was stuck in the pipe may pour out into the bucket. Slide the hose back over the opening on your pump, then secure it in place. Check to make sure that it isn’t loose. Otherwise, the hose may leak while the machine is on. Make sure that you haven’t created any kinks in the hose while you were working on it. If there are kinks, it could prevent your washer from draining. Test out your machine before you put the panel back on it. First, lower your machine back onto the floor if you lifted it. Next, put the power cord back into the socket. Then, set your washer on the rinse cycle and turn it on. Let the washer run through a rinse and spin cycle to see if it drains. If it’s still not draining, it’s possible there’s a clog you can’t get to or that the pump is damaged. It’s best to get a plumber or handyman to look at it. Unplug the machine again before you replace the panel. Then, grasp the panel near the bottom and slowly lift the top part into place. Hook the top of the panel onto the top part of the washer, then lower the panel into place. Finally, reinsert the screws at the corners.
