Or use your computer, if that works better. This is the first thing you need to channel a character -- a blank canvas. It can be the name of a person you know, a person you read about, or just something that randomly pops into your head. Under the name, start making a list, ask yourself questions like: Who is this person? How does he/she look like? Does this person have any siblings, if yes then who? Allow the character to form in your mind, see the character in your head, become the character. What is it like when the character wakes up in the morning? Does he/she go to work or school? How does he/she feel about his family? What does he/she like to have for lunch? All of these details add up to a life. When you are done with the list, read through it and hopefully, you will be able to place this character in a scenario, that might spark the idea for a story… maybe just one detail you came up with can spark your interest in an entire story. Surprisingly, this game is a great way to cut yourself out of writer's block. Start with any random sentence, for example, "One day there was a girl named Destiny" then you continue the story with "and then" after every sentence. "And then she met a guy named Daniel. And then she found out he was a vampire" etc. That might not be how you write a story, but, the deeper you get, you end up finding a plot. Create tons of info about your main character -- why is her hair so short when all of the other girls have long plaits? Her hair was like that too, but an evil man tried to cut her neck in a chase and she ducked, her hair flying up, causing him to slice it, instead.

Summary: Get a paper and a pen or a pencil. Write down a name, the first name that comes to mind, at the top of the page. Ask questions about the person. Let the character develop. Try to visualize the life of the character. Look over what you've written. Play the "and then" game. Write a backstory about your main character.


Quickly navigate to the website. Then find the Manage Orders or Customer Service tab. In this section, you’ll be able to navigate to a list of your online purchases. Look for the specific purchase and cancel it. Remember, though, the quicker you cancel, the better your chances of not having to pay anything. Some websites will require you to send a message to a customer service representative before they confirm cancellation. Be succinct and direct when you send your message. If you’re unable to cancel the purchase online, you’ll have to call customer service. When you speak to customer service, provide them with your order number and tell them you want to cancel it. They may be able to cancel immediately.  The customer service number is usually found under “contact” information toward the bottom of the website. Be very polite. For example, say “please” and “thank you.” If they say they can’t cancel the order, ask to speak with a supervisor. Many companies will not let you cancel a purchase freely if you just changed your mind about a product.  Thus, you need to provide a legitimate reason for why you no longer want the product. Some reasons may include:  The ad listing misrepresents the product. You found a cheaper price. The product is damaged or is not the exact product you ordered. If you are able to cancel your order, write down the confirmation number that the website or customer service representative gives you. This way, if there is an issue with the order in the future, you'll be able to reference your cancellation. After your order is cancelled, you should receive a refund. This may take a few days, so you’ll have to check your bank account or credit card statement regularly. Remember: Under (United States) law, if you paid with a debit card, cash, or check, your money must be refunded within seven work days. If you purchased with a credit card, your money must be refunded within a billing cycle.

Summary: Cancel online immediately. Call customer service. Give a valid, specific reason. Write down the transaction or cancellation ID number. Verify you received a refund.


Putting vinegar in your hair may sound strange, but the vinegar helps remove build-up. It also balances the pH of your hair, smooths down the cuticles, and leaves your hair feeling soft and silky. Keep in mind, however, that this rinse is not recommended for color-treated hair, as it may cause the hair dye to fade or run. Here is what you will need to make this rinse:  1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of vinegar 1 cup (240 milliliters) of cool water A cup, mug, or bottle to hold the rinse Pour the water and vinegar into a cup, mug, or bottle. You can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Stir the vinegar and water with a spoon to combine the ingredients. If you are using a bottle, you can simply close the bottle and shake it. If you have longer or very thick hair, then double the amount: 2 to 4 tablespoons of vinegar and 2 cups (450 milliliters) of water. Instead of using plain vinegar, you can add 5 to 10 drops of essential oil to 1 cup (225 milliliters) of vinegar. Shake the vinegar to mix the oil in, then use this vinegar in your rinse (1 to 2 tablespoons of infused vinegar per cup/225 milliliters of water) instead of the regular vinegar. Do not use this infused vinegar undiluted in your hair. Not only do essential oils help mask the strong odor of vinegar, but they can also be beneficial for your hair. Here are some essential oils that you can use, depending on your hair type:  If you have dry hair, you can use any of the following oils: lavender, myrrh, and peppermint. If you have normal hair, you can use any of the following oils: chamomile, clary sage, and lavender. If you have oily hair, you can use and of the following oils: basil, lavender, lemongrass, lemon, patchouli, rosemary, tea tree, and ylang ylang. Take your favorite shampoo and wash your hair as you normally would. You are doing this in order to remove most of the dirt and oils. You may also follow up with some conditioner, although the vinegar rinse will be enough to make your hair look smooth and shiny. Tilt your head back and close your eyes tightly. Pour the vinegar-water over your head, so that it runs from your hair line, down your hair, and to the ends. Do not let the vinegar-water get into your eyes. It will sting and burn a lot. Gently run your fingers through your hair and over your scalp. You might feel and see some soap bubbles forming in your hair. This is normal, and means that the vinegar-water is working. It is removing all that build-up that has accumulated in your hair. The cold-temperature will help seal the hair cuticles. You can also leave the vinegar rinse in your hair. Don't worry, the strong smell will disappear once your hair dries.
Summary: Gather your ingredients. Prepare the vinegar rinse. Consider adding some essential oils to your vinegar. Wash your hair with some shampoo. Pour the vinegar solution over your hair. Massage your scalp. Consider rinsing your hair with cool water.
