Wash thoroughly before you attempt to take a detox salt bath. You want to wash away any additives like perfume, soap residue, or conditioner that could throw off the composition of your bath. Make sure the tub gets a good rinse too after you’ve finished using any toiletries. The water should be at or just above body temperature. Himalayan salt baths are not meant to be taken in very hot water. If you have a thermometer, aim for about 97 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). As the water is running, add enough Himalayan salt to create a 1% solution. This means adding about 2.5 pounds (a little over 1 kilogram) to a standard-sized tub, which holds 27-32 gallons (102-121 liters) of water. Himalayan salts can be purchased online, at health stores, or at some organic grocery stores. Essential oils can increase your level of relaxation or rejuvenation in the bath. If you choose to use one, such as eucalyptus oil or lavender oil, add about 3 drops as the tub is filling with water. Do not add more than this, since it could irritate your skin.

summary: Take a shower. Fill your tub with water. Add the salt while the tub is filling with water. Add essential oils if you want them.

Dirt or grease on the blade may result in an uneven sharpening of your knife. Sharpening the blade may be easier if you briefly dip the cold blade into boiling water right before you begin sharpening it. There are numerous types of files and sharpeners on the market, including  Japanese water stones, stones with diamond encrusted surfaces, and stones with different grades of grit.  These different tools will give you slightly different results. For most purposes, a basic, two-sided sharpening stone, available for about $10 at most hardware stores, will be adequate.  There is also a knife sharpener you can buy specifically for the purpose of sharpening Swiss Army Knives, available from the company's online store. There is some disagreement as to whether it is important or even beneficial to lubricate your sharpening stone. If you choose to lubricate yours, a variety of different options are available.  Some people believe that lubricant should be used because the friction that results from sharpening the blade has the potential to warp it, or because the lubricant will help float away metal particles that can dull the blade during the sharpening process or clog the pores of the stone itself.  Others believe lubricant is unnecessary, slows the process the down, and may actually dull the blade by washing the metal particles over the blade during the sharpening process.  If you opt to use a lubricant, you can use cutting oil, mineral oil, kerosene, or WD-40 on natural stones, or water on diamond stones.  Before applying oil, consult any instructions that came with your sharpening stone. Some types of stones can be ruined by the use of oil.

summary: Clean the knife thoroughly. Select a sharpening tool. Lubricate your stone if desired.

The best way to deal with a bully is to avoid them as much as possible. If they don’t have an opportunity to tease you, you won’t have to deal with their insults. Develop a route that keeps you away from known bullies, such as sitting at a different lunch table or choosing a different seat in homeroom.  If you have to sit next to a bully in class due to assigned seating, ask the teacher if you can switch seats. Explain that this person is keeping you from paying attention. If the bullies are in your group of friends, then it may be time to find a different group to hang out with, especially if you friends don't stand up for you. When someone teases you about being flat-chested, do your best to ignore them. Bullies are looking for a reaction, and if you give them one they are likely to continue making fun of you. Stay cool, calm, and collected. Simply ignore the insult or walk away. This also includes interactions online and social media. If you want to, you can even delete their comments or block their usernames. If you’ve tried to ignore the teasing and it hasn’t stopped, you should stand up for yourself. Tell the bully, “Stop saying that to me, it’s mean!” or “Don’t talk to me anymore.” Walk away after you’ve said your piece and be proud of yourself for being brave enough to speak your mind. Sometimes, bullies will stop picking on you if you stand up for yourself. Try to remain calm and collected when confronting the bullies. If you appear too upset, they may continue teasing you just to get another, similar reaction. Don’t stoop to a bully’s level and trade insults with them. Instead, show your maturity by refusing to taunt them back. You could even say something like, “I’m sorry you feel that way, but I know that looks aren’t everything. I have lots of other skills and talents that make me happy with who I am.” If the bullying still continues, tell a teacher, principal, or guidance counselor right away. They may be able to interfere and stop the bullying.
summary: Avoid bullies when possible. Ignore taunts and teasing. Stand up for yourself. Be the bigger person.
