Q: Oil will very easily remove the glue used to secure false eyelashes in place, but it also coats the false eyelashes and makes them unusable in the future. As a result, you should only use oil to remove your false eyelashes if you intend on throwing them away afterwards. The most effective types of oil to use are coconut, almond, and baby oil. Not all oils are suitable for use on your face, so stick to those recommended for facial use. Use your favorite facial soap and warm water to clean the rest of your face. Gently rub the soap onto your skin until it lathers, focusing on areas where there is still makeup. Splash warm water onto your face to remove the soap, and use a clean towel to pat your face dry.
A: Choose a type of oil. Rinse off the oil and remaining makeup.

Q: Water is the dieter's best friend. Sweet, sugary, or caffeinated drinks are the enemy of the dieter. A simple sweet "energy" or "sports" drink can be as much as 400 calories. That's a third of your total calories for the entire day. Stay away from any drink but water, with one exception.  Unsweetened green tea is acceptable to drink, on occasion. If you're sick and tired of drinking just water day in and day out, the occasional green tea is fine. Green tea has lots of antioxidants and 0 calories, which makes it fine to drink. If you're really hungry during meals, down a nice big cup of water right before you eat. This will help trick your stomach into thinking that you're more full than you actually are, making you less hungry. Simple carbs, also called refined carbohydrates, are usually not very nutritious for our bodies and get absorbed by the body very quickly. Stay away from simple, refined carbohydrates such as these while on your diet:  Cookies, candies, cakes, and other baked sweets Honey, molasses, and syrup White bread, white rice, and normal pasta Many packaged cereals Complex carbohydrates, unlike simple carbohydrates, are full of fiber as well as other nutrients, and get digested by the body and released into the blood stream far slower. Examples of complex carbs include:  Whole grain bread, whole grain pasta, brown rice Beans and legumes, such as lentils, carrots, and sweet potatoes Veggies and fruits like asparagus and apricots Go for beef that is 98% lean and only 2% fat. Go for chicken breast without the skin attached. Soy products like edamame or tofu are also high in protein, as are many types of fish, including salmon. In addition to cooking everything in trans fat, fast food burgers, fries, and shakes (or burritos, mac 'n' cheese, or sandwiches) are whoppers when it comes to salt and sugar. They are essentially empty carbs, with no real nutrients to them. If you're serious about shedding those pounds and getting your weight back on the right path, you'll stay away from fast food. Ever hear the phrase? It has some truth behind it. Eat early on to jump-start your metabolism and give you enough energy to last comfortably until lunch, and then for dinner begin to wind down and eat the smallest meal of the day. Here are some examples of meals you could cook for yourself during the day, with one snack in between:  Breakfast: egg-white omelet with spinach and chicken breast, along with a banana and some fresh blueberries. Lunch: leftover salmon steak over quinoa, with a small salad Snack: handful of pistachios Dinner: bok choy, carrot, mushroom, and pepper stir-fry Some foods that help you lose weight or have fewer calories are:  peanut butter rice cakes berries green vegetables green tea water Greek yogurt unsalted nuts almond milk Creating a calorie journal and writing in it consistently will help you know when you've gone over your limit. It will tell you what foods worked when and whether they tasted good. It will give you a record of your struggles, which are always fun to look back on after the pain has passed! Get very good at calorie counting and serving sizes. It'll be tough to calculate everything in the beginning, but after a while it'll seem like second-nature. Be religious about estimating how many calories are in a certain food or meal. Be accurate! Lying to yourself isn't worth it if the only one you're hurting is you. It's okay to slip up every once in a while and eat something you know you're not supposed to. Everyone does that. But when you slip, don't fall down. Don't justify splurging and going way overboard, ever. It'll just make your goal even tougher and discourage you even more.
A: Drink water only. Cut the simple carbohydrates out of your diet. Replace the simple carbs with complex carbs. Eat lean protein. Positively stay away from fast food. Eat like a king for breakfast, a prince at lunch, and a pauper for dinner. Start a calorie journal in which you write down the values of everything you eat. When you slip (and everyone does), don't splurge.

Q: Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding, and with it you can make an enormous range of things out of a simple sheet of paper. You can make paper cranes, butterflies, "fox-puppets", and much more. Some awesome origami projects to try include:  A traditional origami swan  A paper rose for a loved one An origami bunny - that's just cute! A frame to display photos or pictures An origami samurai helmet could be lots of fun! A paper box or origami star box to hold small gifts for friends and family  Origami paper claws to add life to a Halloween costume . If you have papers that have significance to you, such as pamphlets, tickets, stubs, photos, receipts, and letters, you can use those papers to create a box where you can keep jewelry, memorabilia, or any other items you want. Just get the object that you want to decorate, arrange the paper in an artful way that you think looks nice, and then decoupage away!  You can even introduce other materials like paint, glitter, and other objects (like buttons or fake flowers) in order to make it look even more special. Some items may need to be attached with hot glue. You can also use those memorable papers in a scrapbook, if you don't want to destroy them. Just get a photo album with slots that the paper can fit into or a plastic sheet that holds it in place. Just be careful to keep it away from moisture, otherwise the album can actually damage the paper! This is when you combine torn strips of paper or newspaper with a sticky substance like glue or wallpaper paste and apply it to an object or mold it into shapes. Once it has dried it will harden and so can be used for many different things. Beware though, this can get a little messy. There are loads of things that you can do with papier-mâché, including:  Vases Light switch covers Seashells Masks Pencil holders Trinket boxes Card making a good opportunity to try new paper crafting techniques such as pop-up making. The most basic card making involves taking a regular sheet of paper and folding it in half. You can then decorate the blank card with paint, crayons, markers, or other materials. While there are books with templates to make paper toys such as robots, you can make the following with just a plan piece of paper:  Cootie Catcher Paper Football Paper planes and boats You can create either 2D or 3D paper art. We're not talking origami here! These are artworks that are like drawings, except instead of drawing shapes and coloring them in, you create the shapes from paper.  For 2D paper art, use paper in different colors and cut out each different part of your "drawing". If you're making a face, for example, you'll need to cut out the eyes (possibly in several different colored pieces), the nose, the mouth, the skin of the face, the hair (again, probably in different pieces), and other details. The more pieces you cut out, the more detailed you can make your piece. For 3D art, you'll cut out thin strips of paper, about the width of 2-3 spaghetti noddles, and place them on their sides on another sheet of paper. Fold, bend, and spiral them to create different shapes in outline.

Do some origami. Decoupage a memory box or journal Do some papier-mâché. Make your own greeting cards as a more personal alternative to store-bought cards. Make paper toys. Create paper art.
