Article: Combine the egg white, corn syrup, and vanilla in a very clean, totally greaseless bowl. If you want colored sugar skulls, add in the food coloring now. Use one or two drops for a light color, three or four for a rich, more vibrant color. Once all the lumps have been sussed out, add it to the liquid mixture with a wooden spoon, spoonful by spoonful. Mix everything together until not quite one uniform consistency. When the sugar is nearly incorporated into the liquid, start kneading with your fingertips to form the dough into a ball. Dust the countertop with cornstarch, and continue kneading until you have a smooth paste.  Mix well with your hands until every bit of sugar is moistened. If your fingerprints remain when you squeeze the sugar in your hand, it is ready to mold. It should feel like cool, beach sand. If it doesn't hold together, mixture is too dry. Remember, water sinks, so keep the sugar mixture mixed up frequently as you make your sugar skulls. When the dough is ready, put it in a plastic bag to chill in the refrigerator. You can store the chilled dough for several months. When you're ready, divide the dough into as many parts as the number of skulls you want to make. Take a section and roll it into a ball. Squeeze and pinch the ball into a skull shape. Using your fingers, add depressions for the eye sockets and mouth. Use a toothpick to carve out teeth and to smooth out any rough edges. Skull molds work too and are available just for this purpose.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Mix the liquid ingredients together. Sift the powdered sugar. Knead the dough. Make a skull.
Article: Never agree to a living situation without meeting up in person first. You want to make sure there's good chemistry and the person doesn't seem unsafe or unfriendly. Meet up in a neutral location, like a coffee shop, and talk over your expectations for things like chores, bills, and so on.  If you're showing your apartment, meet up at a neutral location first before bringing over the potential roommate. It's a good idea to have a friend or family member in the apartment with you for safety. Some roommates simply aren't compatible. Think about your personal living habits and ask about the other person's habits. Make sure the two of you have a similar lifestyle so you won't clash too much.  Talk about your general lifestyle. Do you love loud music and having people over? If so, you may not hit it off with a quiet, introverted roommate. Hobbies and leisurely activities can also sometimes be an issue. For example, if your new roommate watches a lot of television, this could drive up the cable bill. Chores are a common reason roommates fight, so make sure to ask your potential roomie whether they're a neat person. You should also confess to your own cleaning habits. If you occasionally let dishes sit in the sink overnight, for example, be upfront about this.  If you're visiting an apartment to potentially move into, pay attention to whether it's clean. If you notice a lot of dust, grime, and dirty dishes, this may not be the ideal place to live. If you're having someone move in with you, ask them why they're looking for a new place. This can be a good way to identify red flags. If someone has a reasonable need to move, such as wanting to be closer to work, this is a good sign. However, people who cite things like roommate drama may be difficult to live with. Asks about a potential roommate's income and make sure it exceeds your rent and bills. You don't want to be left lending your roommate money each month for rent. In addition to a decent income, make sure their work is steady. If your roommate is working a temp job, for example, they may not be able to make rent in a few months.

Meet up in person. Ask about a potential roommate's lifestyle. Learn the person's cleaning habits. Figure out why they're looking for a new place. Make sure they can cover costs.
Article: If you don't have coconut oil, use olive oil, almond oil, or grapeseed oil. Peanut oil, canola oil, and vegetable oil should be avoided, since these have a strong smell that may take away from the experience of giving yourself a facial. Keep stirring sugar into the mixture until it has a gritty, spreadable consistency. This will increase the cleansing properties of the scrub. To store this scrub for later, put the mixture in a jar sealed with a lid. Keep it in a cool, dry place. It should last for several weeks. Rub the scrub all over your face, concentrating in spots that are dry. Use a wet washcloth to remove the scrub, and splash cold water over your face when you're finished. Oil-based scrubs will leave your skin feeling very soft, with a slight residue of oil. These types of scrubs are best for dry skin.

Place 1/2 cup of coconut oil in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Apply the scrub to a freshly washed face.
