If there are any windows open, be sure to close them. You want to trap as much steam as possible. How long it takes for the steam to appear will depend on how warm or cold the room was to begin with. Always start brushing from the ends first, and work your way up to the roots. The steam will heat the fibers up and cause the curls to loosen. Transfer the wig to a cool, dry place.

Summary: Put the wig stand in the bathroom. Run hot water in the shower until the room is steamy. Gently brush the wig with a wide toothed comb or a wire wig brush. Remove the wig from the room once condensation starts to build.


Depending on how long you have before your party, try to refrigerate the juices, fruit punch, pink lemonade, and rum for as long as you can before mixing everything together. If your fridge won’t fit everything, just get as much in there as you can. Chilling the ingredients beforehand is really helpful so that you won’t have to use as much ice. Ice would dilute your drink and take up more room in the punch bowl. Vodka won’t freeze solid no matter how long it’s in the freezer for, so it’s a great way to get it really cold before you have to add it to the punch. Even if you won’t be making the punch for a few days, it’s okay to leave it in there. Don’t put the rum or the other liquids into the freezer, though. They might freeze solid or break open, which could make things really difficult when it comes time to mix the punch. Punch bowls are great, as are those large drink dispensers that let people pour their own drinks. If you don’t have any of these available, find the largest glass or plastic bowls that you can, or grab a few pitchers and make do with what you have. Rinse them out or wipe them down ahead of time to clear away any dust that may have accumulated since the last time you used them. If you’re concerned about the drink being cool enough, you could always place the punch bowls on top of ice to help keep things chilled. That way the drink itself won’t get diluted. This recipe makes about 2.5 gallons (9,500 mL) of jungle juice. If your punch bowl isn’t large enough for that entire amount, split the liquids out evenly between however many containers you’ll need to use. Measure out 1 gallon (3,800 mL) of orange-flavored drink, 46 fluid ounces (1,400 mL) of fruit punch, 2 US quarts (1,900 mL) of pink lemonade, 2 US quarts (1,900 mL) of a pineapple and orange juice blend, 2 750 mL (25  fl oz) bottles of vodka, and 1 750 mL (25  fl oz) bottle of white rum. A great thing about jungle juice is that you can swap out ingredients for whatever you like the best. If you prefer cranberry juice or mango juice, use that instead! If you want lime-lemonade, switch it out. Whatever you do, the drink will be fruity and boozy. Use a long wooden spoon to gently stir everything together. It shouldn’t take long, which makes this a nice, easy recipe to pull together quickly before a party starts. If you want, you could even add in some fresh fruit to the serving bowls. Sliced strawberries, diced apples, and fresh citrus are great options that complement the fruity vibe of the drink. Ladle the juice into cups for your friends to enjoy (or just let them serve themselves). Add ice to individual cups when needed, and have a good time celebrating. Make sure to drink safely, stay hydrated, and stay off the road if you’ve over-imbibed. There probably won’t be any jungle juice leftover, but if there is, put it into an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Give the mixture a quick stir before you drink it again, just in case any of the juices have settled to the bottom.

Summary: Refrigerate as many of the juices and other blends as you can. Put the vodka in the freezer to chill it before the party. Clean out containers that will be large enough to hold all the liquid. Pour all of the liquids into the serving bowl, dividing equally if needed. Stir all the ingredients together until they are fully combined. Enjoy the jungle juice and drink responsibly!


Before you can know how much money you’re going to need to save up for a car, you have to decide on a few things. Figure out if you want a new or used car, and what kind of car you want based on what you'll primarily use it for, as that will also affect price. You can either decide on the exact make and model right away or leave those specifics for later, as you may change your mind. However, you should choose the type by asking yourself:  Do you want an eco-friendly car, something more compact, or larger like an SUV? Do you want a car that's fast with a big engine, or gets great gas mileage? What are some features you want and will enjoy, and how important are safety features? Are you just going to and from work or school? Do you plan on taking road trips? Maybe you need a vehicle that has plenty of space to haul things around in. Knowing the answers to these questions will make saving up for a car much easier. There are several different ways to purchase a car like buying it in full, leasing it, or financing it. Before you know how much money you'll need to save up, you should decide what kind payment method suits you best.  If you have good credit you can get a personal loan from an institution like a bank. Hire purchase is another option that's like getting a loan, but it comes from the dealer. You usually have to put down between 10% to 20% for a deposit and then make monthly payments until you pay off the rest of the vehicle. You can also lease the car which means you make monthly payments on the vehicle for a set duration of time. Now that you know what type of car you want it’s time to calculate how much you’ll feel comfortable spending on your vehicle; whether you’re making monthly payments, or trying to save up to buy your car in one lump sum. Knowing exactly how much money you make each month and how much you spend will give you a great idea of what you can do without, and how long it will take you to save.  There are plenty of online tools, like this one which will help you figure how much money you’re working with. Research other finances you’ll need, remember that you’re not just saving up for a car, you’re also saving up for the insurance and tax. It’s also a good idea to have a little left over for any repairs, especially if you’re buying used. Having a date to look forward to will help you manage your monthly budget and give you an incentive to stay honest in saving and budgeting. Perhaps you need the car by a certain date. Maybe you’re going away to college or university, or moving to a new city, or you got a job that requires you to drive more; having a date in mind will help to make saving up for a car a top priority and keep you from spending on things you don’t need. If you do this already, you’re a step ahead! Whether you use a notebook, or an app on your phone or computer, jot down everything you purchase from food, to clothes, to bills. This will give you a very clear idea of everything you buy, and show you what you’re spending money on that you don’t need. Maybe you go out to eat several times a week. You’ll quickly get an idea of how much you can save for your car when you see what the unnecessary expenses are. Now that you have an idea of what your income is versus your expenses and when you want the car, you can create a schedule that will help you start saving right away.
Summary: Find the type of car you want to buy. Choose how you want to pay for your car. Decide how much you want to spend. Calculate your current income and expenses. Pick the date you'll purchase your car. Start keeping a log of your spending habits. Develop a savings schedule.
