Article: Measure out 2 cups (475 milliliters) of distilled water. Pour the water into a pot. Place the pot on a stove burner over high heat. Bring the water to a rolling boil. If you're not using dried herbs, there is no need to boil the distilled water. You will mix the ingredients together as is. If you’re using any dried herbs in your shampoo, measure them out now. Remember, don’t use more than 2 ounces (56 grams) total. When the water begins to boil, carefully add the herbs to the pot. After you add the dried herbs, put a lid on the pot. Reduce the heat to low. This will infuse the water with the herbs. Allow the herbs to steep in the simmering water for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the burner and remove the lid from the pot. Be careful, since hot steam will probably rise up after you remove the lid. Place a large bowl beneath a strainer. The spent herbs will remain behind as the infused water goes into the bowl. After you strain the spent herbs out of the water, discard the remains. Measure out 6 ounces (180 milliliters) of liquid castile soap. Slowly pour the soap into the bowl with the infused water. Mix the substances together gently as you pour in the soap. The water is probably still very hot, so be careful not to splash. Measure out and add 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of aloe vera gel and ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) of jojoba oil. Carefully add them to the bowl one at a time, stirring constantly. Mix the ingredients together well. If you are using essential oils, add them now. Remember, don’t use more than 40 to 50 drops of the essential oils. Stir well.

Article: Being a guy's friend first gives you two great benefits: he gets to know you and you get to know him, without the awkwardness of being in a dedicated relationship. Treat him like you would all your other friends - be casual and comfortable around him.  Guys will usually be more open with guys than girls, but that doesn't mean that you can't get close - that's usually where the magic happens. Just be careful though - if it gets too platonic, you might lose the romantic connection and sometimes it can be really hard to get back that spark once you are placed firmly in the friend-zone. If this happens, things can become too complicated and you might be tempted to give up. A little bit of flirtation throughout the relationship will keep things going nicely. This may seem like a no-brainer, but actually talking to the guy you like (rather than pining after him from afar) is of utmost importance when it comes to getting him to like you.  Ask him stimulating, interesting questions; find out about his life, his family, his friends; tell him funny stories. Anything that opens up a dialogue between the two of you. If you can get the guy talking about something he's really passionate about - whether it's a favorite sports team, band, author - then you're on to a winner. When he's talking to you about something he loves, he'll start to associate the positive emotions he feels with you! Though this may come as surprise, guys love compliments just as much as girls do, so don't be afraid to say something nice to him from time to time. Of course, showering him with fake compliments is not a good idea - you'll just come off as insincere.  Compliment something about his appearance, like his cute dimples or cool new haircut. Just don't overdo it - guys can be shy about that sort of thing. A simple "I love the color of your eyes" is all you need to say. However, compliments don't just need to be focused on appearance. If he's talking about something that he loves, tell him that you admire how passionate he is. You can also compliment his sporting performance or tell him what a great job he did on a class project. Finding activities that you can enjoy together can really create a bond between the two of you and allow him to appreciate how fun and interesting you are. Once he sees that you're someone he can share his passions and interests with, he might start to see you as potential relationship material.  If he thinks of himself as the next premier league player, turn up at any football practices you're invited to and cheer him on.  If he loves rock-climbing, ask him if he can show you how, and make a good-faith effort to see why he's so into it. Have an open mind. You can also invite him along to experience some of your interests. For instance, you could bring him along to a dance class or invite him to try out some unusual ethnic cuisine. Discovering that you're a person who can introduce him to new and exciting experiences can be a major attraction for a guy. Find out what the two of you have in common and exploit it! Shared interests are the foundation of many a successful relationship, so this step should not be overlooked.  It doesn't matter what the interest is, it could be as simple as the ability to recite lines from Family Guy episodes or as intense as a fascination with astrophysics - as long as it leads him to see you as a kindred spirit. For example, If you both love a certain kind of music, ask him if he's ever listened to a particular artist and offer to play a CD for him. Or if a mutual favorite band comes to town, invite him to go with you. Guys love their friends, so its essential that any potential girlfriend gets along with them. For this reason, it is extremely worth your time to get to know his friends and let them see you as a "cool girl". This will let the guy see how easily you could slip into his life - no complications, no drama.  If you can get his friends on your team, that's a major bonus. They will root for you and bring you up around your crush, even when you're not there. This will ensure that you're always on his mind. Be careful though. You don't want to flirt with his friends. This will send conflicting signals and may make you seem like a tease.

Don't be afraid to be his friend. Talk to him. Compliment him. Do things together. Find some common interests. Get to know his friends.
Article: Use your foot to push down on the lever near the rear wheels. While the lever is in its lowest position, it should prevent the wheels from moving. On some stroller models, the front wheels may also have a locking mechanism to prevent them from swiveling. First, push the stroller a few paces forward to put the wheels in the forward position. Then, look for a small lever between the front wheels. If present, it may need to be pushed up or down, depending on the model, to lock the wheels in position. Tug gently on the canopy, if opened, to pull it back into folded position. Push the seat backward to recline it as far as it will go. On some models, you may need to undo latches on the side of the seat before this is possible. Check the right and left sides of the stroller for a small handle, somewhere near the seat base or wheels. Some models simply fold when this handle is tugged in a particular direction, while others require a button in the center of the handle to be pushed and held down as you fold. You should now be able to fold the stroller together simply by pushing the back and seat together. Grip the lower handle if there is one. If necessary, tug the lower frame near the wheels to start the folding, then withdraw your hand from that area to avoid pinching your fingers in the folding frame. Finish pushing from the top handle and the seat base.
