Article: Combine the leaves from your small bunch of mint with your equal parts of water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat on medium, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. This could take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Let the syrup sit in your refrigerator for about an hour, or until it feels cool.  If you want to cool the syrup down faster, place it in the freezer for 20 minutes. Before chilling the syrup, make sure that you transfer it into a heatproof bowl. If you use a plastic bowl, the heat from the syrup could cause the plastic to start melting. Once the syrup feels cool, pour it through a strainer or small colander. Collect the syrup in a bowl beneath the strainer and filter out the leaves.  You only need 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of this syrup for your shamrock shake. The rest can be saved in a sealed container for another dish, though. Discard the mint leaves you strained out. Add the ingredients to an electric blender and whip together on a high speed for 15 to 30 seconds, or until thoroughly combined. Taste the shake before serving it. If the mint flavor is not strong enough, you can add more mint syrup or more mint extract. If the alcohol taste is not strong enough, you can add a bit more whiskey. Be aware, though, that adding more liquid will cause your shake to thin out. Pour the shamrock shake into one or two serving glasses. Decorate each one with a generous helping of whipped cream topping and a bright red maraschino cherry.

Article: Remember to consider how each color will look against your skin tone.  Take notice of the brand as well.  Most likely the cheaper the polish, the easier it will chip. Soak your fingernails, not hands, in it for 3-5 minutes. Use a cuticle stick to push back your cuticles. Do this gently, and make sure not to push them back too far. File your nails, either rounded or squared. Apply a thin coat of base coat to your fingernails. This will prevent future chipping, as well as prevent the nail polish from sliding across your nails and getting on your skin.   If you put it right against the cuticle, it will stick to your cuticle and when you go to take it off, there will be a thin line of nail polish left. Make sure to do this in a fluid movement to prevent kinks in the polish.    Your nails are looking good.

Choose your color. Fill up a bowl of warm, soapy water. Dry your hands. Get a nail filer. Find a base coat. After the base coat is completely dry, retrieve your bottle of colored nail polish (make sure to roll it in your hands (don't shake it) to blend completely). Twist open the cap of the bottle and gently drag the brush against the side of the bottle, getting rid of excess paint. Place one side of the brush a little bit away from the cuticle. Drag the polish toward the free edge of the nail in a thin coat. Continue until you've covered the entire nail, dipping and wiping the brush as needed. Continue following this stroke method on the rest of your nails, making sure each is completely dry before starting a new coat. Find a good top coat and gently brush it over your completely dry, painted nails. Enjoy your nails now that you're done.
Article: No Moon Festival is complete without mooncakes, small, rich pastries that you can buy from a Chinese bakery or make on your own, if you have time. They’re meant to be shared and gifted to family and friends, so have plenty! Picture pastries, also known as mooncake biscuits or “kung chai peng” in Cantonese, aren’t as well known as mooncakes but can still be a tasty dessert for the Moon Festival. They’re cookies made from the same dough that you used to form the outside of the mooncakes, and will need 1-2 days before they’re ready to eat. To make them:  Make mooncake dough by combining flour and baking soda in a bowl, then making a small well in the center and stirring in golden syrup, oil, and baking soda solution. Knead the mix into a dough, then let it sit for 3 hours. Use cookie molds or cutters to make 10-20 cookies, then place them on a greased baking sheet. Bake them at 400 °F (204 °C) for 6 minutes. Remove the cookies, brush them with a beaten egg mixture, then bake them for another six minutes. Let them cool, then store them in an airtight container for 1-2 days so the golden syrup can soften the pastry. A Moon Festival dinner offers big portions of delicious, symbolic dishes for the whole family to enjoy. Think about how many people you’ll be inviting over and start to plan your meal accordingly. Many families also choose to eat out for Moon Festival to avoid the burden of making a meal—it’s up to you! like roast pork, a whole chicken, fish, vegetables, and rice. An honor table is a small end table or even a bench that you’ll place near your dinner table. Use it to display your ritual offerings, including candles and incense, which you’ll burn to honor ancestors. You’ll also place your mooncakes, picture pastries tea service, and fruits on the honor table.
