Article: Choose a firm, unwrinkled root with fresh, crisp-looking leaves. These rhizomes may not be readily available since they are local only to Japan and are grown in limited areas of Canada and northwestern United States. However, check your local Asian grocery stores for availability. If you can’t find fresh wasabi rhizome, look for the ground powder and try that recipe instead. You do not need the leaves to make wasabi paste. The leaves do not necessarily need to be discarded, however—they can be eaten and make a flavorful addition to salads. Wash the outside of the rhizome with cool water to get rid of any dirt and debris. Use a sharp knife to trim off any odd bumps, discolorations, and marks. Then, lay the root on a paper towel and let it air-dry. If you’re in a hurry, you can pat the exterior dry with a clean paper towel. This recipe has no other ingredients, so the amount of fresh wasabi you shave off the root is the amount of paste you’ll end up with. Use slow, circular motions to grate the root to release its intense flavor compounds. Be sure to choose a sharp grater with small teeth. The fine teeth on the grater will create the paste-like consistency. Use your fingers to form and press the wasabi into a tight ball. Then, let the paste sit 1-2 minutes to allow the flavor to develop. Be sure to wash your hands after handling wasabi. If you accidentally touch your eyes or nose without washing them, it will burn. Prolonged contact with your skin will cause irritation. Place the ball of paste on the side of your main dish or in a separate bowl and serve it right away for the best flavor. Fresh wasabi starts losing its potency after being exposed to air for 20 minutes. Storing the fresh paste isn’t recommended, so make as much as you need for 1 meal and enjoy it right away.

Use a grater to shave off the amount you want. Gather the wasabi in a neat pile and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. Serve the wasabi paste immediately at room temperature.

Problem: Article: Using too much setting powder can give you a cakey look that highlights pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. To set your foundation, only dust powder over the areas where you tend to get shiny or oily. For most people, that is the T-zone, or forehead, nose, and chin. You may also want to apply a light layer to your cheeks.  If your skin is dry, you may want to skip powder completely. It can be very easy to apply too much pressed powder or powder foundation.To keep your powder from looking too heavy, opt for a loose, translucent formula that won’t add any color or coverage. Bronzer and contour products can add warmth and definition to your face. If you use too much, though, you’ll wind up looking muddy. To keep it on natural, use a small amount on a small, fluffy brush and apply it softly along your forehead and temples, beneath your cheekbones, and along your jaw on each side of your face in a “3” or “E” shape for subtle definition. Blend your bronzer or contour product well so you don’t wind up with stark stripes on your face. If you place your blush too low on your cheeks, you’ll wind up looking harsh and dragging your face down. Start at the apple of your cheek, and blend it back along your cheekbone toward your hairline.  Start with a small amount of blush, and only add more if you need more color. Be sure to blend well too, so it melts into the skin for a natural look. An angled blush brush is helpful for getting the right placement of your blush.
Summary: Apply powder strategically. Use a light hand with bronzer or contour products. Sweep your blush higher up on your cheek.

It might not seem like a big deal to you when she compliments your new sneakers, but her noticing changes in your outfit or appearance and complimenting you could be her way of showing you she's interested enough in you to pay attention. Many shy people are worried about saying the wrong thing, which sometimes leads to quietness around a crush. Oppositely, nervousness at being close to a crush might cause a shy girl to be a little more chatty. In either case, research has shown that if she responds to you smoothly and quickly, she likely is interested in some kind of relationship with you. Small praise has a profound effect on people, but this effect is more pronounced with potential romantic partners. Does your girl light up when you pay her simple praise? She may be crushing on you. When she peppers your conversation with pleasant laughter at your wit and charm, it could mean she wants you to like her. Listen for frequency. Laughing more with you than others could be a love letter from her subconscious. Notes in lower registers are subconscious attempts at showing off, which makes a dreamy or husky quality in her voice a good sign for you! She may be loud around others, but quiet around you. These are often hints she is interested. Shy people frequently fear direct confrontation, so asking her if she has feelings for you through a note passed on through a friend or in a message that friend relates to her could save you from unnecessary detective work. Remember, she will find out that you asked, and sometimes people use this information to pick on other. There is nothing wrong with asking someone if they like you. Remember that some shy girls are very reserved and may keep their crush a secret, even from their best friends. It's important that you take time to read your situation to see if this kind of inquiry is a good decision.
