Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a small bowl. Use a lemon juicer to ensure that no pulp or seeds get into the jar. If you don't have a juicer, place a fine, mesh strainer over the jar first, then squeeze the lemon by hand. You will need 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of sugar and 1 tablespoon (22.5 grams) of honey. The sugar will act as an exfoliant, while the honey will act as a natural moisturizer. You will need about 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of olive oil. The olive oil will not only moisturize your face, but also protect it from the sugar. Sugar makes a great exfoliant, but it can be harsh on the skin. Pull your hair back and away from your face to keep it clean. Use your fingers to scoop up some of the lemon-sugar-honey mixture. Apply it to your face, right over the olive oil. Gently massage it in using circular motions. Avoid the sensitive skin around your eyes and nostrils. If you have very sensitive skin, you may want to reduce the time to 2 or 3 minutes. If the cleanser starts to sting, it's time to take it off! Pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel. Follow up with your usual moisturizer. If you have any of the scrub leftover, you can use it on your hands and neck as well.  The moisturizer will help prevent your skin from turning too dry. If you have oily skin, use a moisturizer specially formulated for oily skin.

summary: Squeeze the juice from one lemon into a small bowl. Add some sugar and honey. Massage some olive oil onto your face. Apply the lemon mixture to your face. Leave the scrub on for 5 minutes. Rinse the cleanser off with cool water.

Stories are a great way for students to learn about a new concept, and a picture book will keep young children engaged. Ask them to pick out the story they’d most like to read. Here are some great options:   Count on Pablo by Barbara deRubertis  The Great Divide by Dayle Ann Dodds  Divide and Ride by Stuart J. Murphy  2 X 2 = Boo: A Set of Spooky Multiplication Stories by Loreen Leedy  Arctic Fives Arrive by Elinor J. Pinczes  Bean Thirteen by Matthew McElligott You can use pretend food or real food. This works best for helping young learners understand how to do basic division. Here are some ways they can divide the food:  Ask them to divide the food equally. Have them divide the food for various groups, such as 2, 4, 5, or 10 friends. Make a recipe with the student but ask them to do the math to reduce the number of servings. This is a great way to help them understand remainders. They could divide stuffed animals, Legos, dolls, army men, blocks, etc. Ask them to create subsets among their toys, or have them divide the toys into groups.  For example, ask them to divide all stuffed bears into groups of 3, with remainders set aside. Similarly, all red Legos can be divided into groups of 5, with remainders set aside.

summary: Read books about division with young children. Ask your student to divide food. Have the student divide sets of toys.

The day after your class, review your notes. If you wrote them by hand, make sure you can read your writing. If not, correct it. It is easier to correct poor penmanship earlier than after you have forgotten what you have written. Quiz yourself on any new key terms. Use highlighters, colored pens, pencils, and sticky notes to highlight important points. Look at the units of measurement for each axis. What is the relationship between the axes? What concept is the graph trying to explain (e.g. supply and demand curves)? Why do the lines slope in the directions they do? Although you likely are busy, aim to get your homework done in advance. This way, if you have questions, you can ask your professor or teaching assistant (TA) before your homework is due. If you complete your homework at the last minute, do not expect your TA to email you back at 3 a.m. When doing your assigned reading, create questions before you read based on the main concepts you are discussing in class or the theme the reading should address. Read while seeking answers to those questions. By reviewing your notes, you are inadvertently studying for future exams. Continue this process by reviewing graded homework assignments when receiving them. Ask your teachers about any confusion you have regarding answers that you did not get right. If your teachers do not discuss the test format, ask. Request information on what types of questions will be ask and how many points will be allotted to each section. Bring together the main ideas from each homework assignment, quiz, or paper. Explain each concept in writing. Share your guide with a classmate to check whether your understandings of the material are the same.  Define the top five or six key terms per chapter. Write down the key ideas and draw the most essential graph of each chapter. Give examples of a numerical problem and an algebraic problem. Use different amounts and numbers than the examples given in class. Write your own exam questions and practice answering them.  Make flashcards for vocabulary terms. Hire a tutor. If you are having trouble understanding economics, consider hiring a tutor for extra individual help. Your professor and TAs have office hours: use them. If you have any questions, bring them to office hours. Attending office hours is a good way to build a professional relationship with your instructors as well. Perhaps you would like to develop your own economics research project. Your instructor is more likely to mentor you if he knows you. Do not expect your professors to be available 24/7 via email or phone. Office hours exist for a reason and email does not supplant the function of office hours. When studying for a difficult exam or doing a tedious homework assignment, remember why you are studying economics. Perhaps you want to work for the National Economic Council at the White House. Maybe you want to be a college professor yourself some day. Having a list near your desk of what you want to achieve with your economic knowledge will help you stay motivated.
summary: Review your notes after class. Analyze graphs thoroughly. Complete homework assignments early. Study for exams gradually. Create a study guide. Visit office hours. Keep your goals in mind.
