Q: Vinegar can be used to remove set in stains, such as grass stains, from shoes. Mix a third cup of white vinegar with two thirds of a cup of water. Then, use a rag or cloth to dab the dab the mixture onto the stain. Then, take a clean wash or rag and dab the vinegar into the stain until the stain comes out. You may have to repeat this method once if the stain doesn't come out. Landry detergent can also remove set in stains. Add a small amount of detergent to the stain. Then, rub it in using a clean sponge or cloth. Allow the detergent to sit on for 15 minutes before rinsing it with water. Remember to use color safe detergent on Sanuks. If you have a lot of grass stains, opt for a commercial cleaner specifically designed to remove grass stains. While application varies by product, you usually rub the product onto the stains. Some stains will then need to be rinsed out with a combination of a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide and a couple of drops of ammonia.
A: Try vinegar. Use laundry detergent. Purchase a grass stain remover.

Q: If you're going to be creating specific hairstyles with your snake braid, you want to ensure the braid is going in the right direction, otherwise it will create a funny bump. For instance, if you want a braid near your temple to wrap around to the back of your head, comb the hair toward the back of your head and weave the braid in that direction when you start the first couple weaves of the braid. A braid halo wraps around the top of your head from ear to ear, and it’s a unique and attractive way to keep hair back and out of your face. You do, however, have to have pretty long hair to make this work. To create a snake braid halo:  Make one small snake braid on either side of your head using the hair from right behind each ear. For the moment, fasten each braid with an elastic. Comb back the rest of your hair so it’s away from your face. Take the snake braid from behind your left ear, wrap it around the top of your head (over your combed back hair), and use a bobby pin to secure the end of the braid behind your right ear. Do the same with the right braid, lining it up beside the other braid, and pinning it behind your left ear. Use your loose hair to cover the pins. You can either leave most of your hair back behind your shoulders, or you can bring it forward to sit in front. Part your hair to one side, and use the hair at the very front of the heavy part to make a large snake braid. Tuck any excess hair from the heavy side of your part behind the ear on the same side.  When you're finished the braid, tuck the end of the braid behind your ear with the rest of your hair, and pin it in place with a bobby pin. Bring some hair forward to cover the pin and the end of the braid. Make a small or medium snake braid using hair at the front of your head. You can make the braid anywhere, but to start, try from your temple or at the top of your part. When it’s finished, wrap it around to the back of your head and pin it in place with a bobby pin. Cover the pin with a section of hair.  For the best results, don’t pull the braid too tight, and instead let it hang slack so there's a slight droop in the braid. For a braid headband wraparound, make a similar braid on either side of your head and pin them both back at the same spot at the back of your head. To create an even more interesting and intricate style, make two small snake braids on each side of your head. Try making one just above and behind each ear, and make the second set of braids near your temples. Making sure all the braids have some slack, pin the ends of all four braids behind your head.
A: Angle the braid in the direction it will be styled. Make a snake braid halo. Make a side braid band. Create a side braid wraparound.

Q: Give your almond butter some extra flavor. Purchase some pre-roasted peanuts. Add ⅓ cup of these to every 2 cups of almonds during the blending process. For quicker roasting and blending, use this softer nut instead. Save money by purchasing them in raw chunks from the bulk section, since whole pieces may be more expensive than almonds. They also tend to be drier, so be sure to have oil on hand to blend them to your desired consistency. When roasting, start checking their coloring no later than 7 minutes into cooking. Cashews will begin to burn sooner than almonds would. Replace almonds with pecans for to create a butter in less time with less fuss. Skip the roasting process altogether, even with raw pecans. Simply blend until the mixture is even.
A: Add honey-roasted peanuts. Substitute cashews for almonds. Use pecans for minimal effort.

Q: Start by washing the skin tear and the surrounding skin with warm water. Use your hand to gently wash the area. Do not rub or scrub the area, as this can cause more damage to the skin.  Avoid using a towel or cloth to wash the area, as this can irritate the skin tear further. Your hand and running water should work just fine. Make sure you clean the skin tear before you apply a new dressing or bandage to it. This will ensure no bacteria is present in the skin tear before you bandage it. You can also apply a saline wound cleanser to the skin tear. The wound cleanser will contain water and antibacterial ingredients to help clean the area. When you apply the wound cleanser, do not rub or scrub the area. This way take 10 to 20 minutes. You can also use a soft towel to pat the area dry, being careful not to rub or scrub the area.
A:
Wash the skin tear with warm water. Use a saline wound cleanser. Allow the skin tear to air dry.
