This will leave the tail meat exposed at the top and will be easier to eat. Many restaurants often completely cut the lobster tail in half and place the halves side by side. Restaurants often choose this presentation to make it seem like you are getting more lobster. It is called "butterflying" because the two halves roughly resemble the symmetry of a butterfly. You may need these tools to cut up the meat or to break open the lobster tail's outer shell. Some people like to eat lobster tail with their hands. In this case, obviously, no fork or knife is needed. Melt several sticks of butter into a saucepan. The clearer liquid that rises to the top is the clarified butter. Slowly drain off the clarified butter into a small bowl that your guests can use to dip lobster pieces in. You can also buy pre-clarified butter at the store, which will last roughly a month in your refrigerator. Lobster is a light meat, so you should choose a wine that does not have a powerful flavor. The robust flavor and tannins in red wine won’t pair well with the iodine and saltiness of the lobster. Many consider surf-and-turf (lobster-and-steak) to be a perfect pairing.

After your practice session, you will likely have some rosin, sweat, and grime on your hands which you don’t want to accidentally transfer onto different parts of your violin. Cleaning cloths help prevent buildup of rosin and other substances and also keep your violin looking nice by removing fingerprints and other markings. You always want to have at least two soft, clean, lint-free cloths to wipe down the various parts of your violin.  Be sure to keep these cleaning cloths in your violin case so that they’re on hand at all times. You can buy cleaning cloths that are specially made for violin cleaning, such as SHAR or Glaesel, but you can also use what you have, such as flannel. Just be sure you are using a cloth that is soft and non-abrasive. It is important to wipe down the strings of your violin after each playing session because rosin can quickly accumulate and change the sound of your instrument. This is an easy step that should become a regular habit after practicing.  Using one cloth, wipe the rosin off each individual string, moving up and down each string in a sliding motion. Be sure to wipe off any rosin flakes that might break off during this step. If there is a build-up of rosin on your strings that you cannot wipe off, you can use pure alcohol to remove this. Put a few drops of alcohol on the cloth and rub on the strings, but be careful to ensure that the alcohol does not touch any other part of the violin as alcohol will damage the varnish. Just like on the strings, rosin can build up relatively quickly on the bow. You can use the same cloth you used for the strings as you are wiping away the same substance. Just as with the strings, simply take the cleaning cloth to wipe down the bow in the direction that the hairs are running in. Do not go against the grain, just wipe up and down using a light touch. The face of the violin refers to its body, excluding the strings or neck of the violin. You will want to use a different cloth for this step, as you want to avoid rubbing rosin or any other substance onto the violin. When wiping the F-holes, take care to ensure the cloth does not get caught in them. The woodwork of F-holes is delicate and can change or ruin the sound of the violin if damaged. The bridge of the violin is liable to have collected some rosin during your practice session. Use a cloth to dust the rosin out from under the bridge but maintain a light touch, as the bridge is very fragile. Try using a Q-tip for those spots that are especially hard to reach.

One-sentence summary -- Wash your hands. Get several cleaning cloths. Wipe down the strings. Wipe the bow. Wipe down the face of the violin. Clean the bridge.


Throw away their toothbrush and any other brushes it came into contact with to prevent the sickness from spreading. Soaking your toothbrush in antibacterial mouthwash for ten minutes after your illness ends may kill germs that might cause a return of the illness, however it is a better idea to simply replace the toothbrush. Even trace amounts of bacteria can be dangerous for those with compromised immune systems, so keeping your toothbrush disinfected is advisable.  Use an antibacterial mouthwash before you brush your teeth. This may help reduce the amount of bacteria that gets onto your toothbrush when brushing. Rinse the toothbrush with antibacterial mouthrinse before brushing. This may reduce the amount of bacteria deposited on the toothbrush. Replace your toothbrush more frequently than every three to four months. This may help reduce your exposure to bacteria over time. Consider a toothbrush sanitizer. While studies do not show any particular benefit to these devices, you can purchase one that has been cleared by the FDA. Toothbrush sanitizers kill up to 99.9% of bacteria on the brush. (Sterilizing means that 100% of bacteria and living organisms have been killed, and no commercial toothbrush cleaner can claim this.) Studies show that people who are wearing appliances on their teeth collect more germs on their toothbrushes. Rinse with antibacterial mouthrinse before brushing to reduce the amount of bacteria deposited on the toothbrush. If you have braces, you may also find it helpful to also use a water flosser or waterpik to clean between your braces and your teeth.

You may also use spot exfoliation to help remove the ingrown hair. Remember to be very careful with the area. Use gentle, circular motions to try and dislodge the hair. Make a natural exfoliant at home instead of buying something from the store.  Mix ½ teaspoon of baking soda, sea salt, or sugar with one to two tablespoons of olive oil. Use a Q-tip or cotton ball to apply the mixture to the infected ingrown hair. Use the tips of one or two fingers to gently rub the exfoliating mixture using circular motions.  First, rub in using three to five clockwise motions. Then reverse, using three to five counterclockwise motions. Rinse off with warm water and pat. If you have an ingrown hair, you can start trying to get it out by using honey. Honey not only moisturizes the skin, but it also acts as an antibacterial. This helps prevent infection. The honey also helps to loosen and draw out the free end of the hair.  Use a Q-tip to apply a small amount of honey onto the ingrown hair. Allow it to remain for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it is dried. Rinse the honey off with warm water and pat dry. Repeat twice a day. One of the things you want to make sure you are not doing is over-drying your skin. Over-drying your skin can make the ingrown hair harder to extract. You want to keep the skin moist while you are trying to get the hair out. Use a bit of moisturizer on the infected hair after every treatment. This can help soften the skin and can reduce the risk of skin damage and scarring.
