Spray paint is dangerous to inhale, and the overspray and dust can easily land on nearby surfaces. Take the item you want to spray paint outside when possible, such as when the temperature is mild, when there's no precipitation, and when it’s a calm day.  The ideal temperature range for spray painting is between 64 and 77 F (18 and 25 C).  The ideal humidity for spray painting is between 40 and 50 percent.  When you can’t spray paint outside, take the project to a shed or garage if possible. Inhaling spray paint is bad for your health. To protect yourself, open windows, doors, and turn on exhaust vents when you must work inside. Don’t turn on any fans, as these will just blow the paint around. Invest in an activated carbon mask if you work with spray paint often. This will protect your lungs and keep you safe from the health problems associated with spray paint exposure. A spray paint booth protects surrounding areas from overspray, and protects the painted item from dust and dirt when it’s still wet. For smaller projects, you can make your own simple spray paint booth with a box and a pair of scissors:  Find a box that’s larger than the items you're spray painting Cut off the flaps that form the lid Lay the box on its side with the opening facing you Cut off the top panel Leave the bottom, side, and back panels of the box in place Place the item in the center of the bottom panel For larger projects, you may not be able to make your own spray paint booth. To protect the floor and surrounding areas from overspray, lay out a large drop cloth or piece of cardboard. Place the item in the center of the cloth or cardboard. If you also want to protect the drop cloth from excess paint, lay down some newspaper over the cloth and place the item on the newspaper.

You can modify the sound of your playlist to fit the atmosphere and setting of the room you are DJing for. Go to settings>playback and you’ll see the equalizer options.

Select a kit that contains at least the Triops eggs, food, and care instructions. You can also find kits that come with a tank, thermometer, or dish for hatching the eggs. Most kits cost between $10 and $20. Out of these 20 eggs, you’ll likely only get 1 to 3 Triops. Make sure that the eggs, which are as small as a grain of sand, go into the water and don’t accidentally blow away or get stuck on the edge of the aquarium. Most kits come with around 40 to 60 eggs, so you can have 2 to 3 hatching cycles. After you sprinkle the eggs into the water, expect them to hatch between 24 and 96 hours later. Look closely, as newborn Triops are so small, they’re almost invisible to the human eye for the first few days. If you’re hatching the eggs in the fall or winter when it’s colder, it can take an additional 3 to 5 days for the Triops to hatch.

One-sentence summary -- Buy a Triops kit from a pet store or online retailer. Sprinkle about 20 eggs into the tank. Wait 1 to 4 days for the eggs to hatch.


aintain a healthy weight. Carrying extra weight on your body can increase your risk of flare-ups. You can limit that risk by managing your weight and staying within a healthy weight for your height.  You can determine your healthy weight based on your height or body fat percentage.  Eating a balanced diet and exercising can help you manage your weight. If you want to minimize your psoriasis flare-ups, a great way is to eat a healthy balanced diet. Eat plenty of fruits and green, leafy vegetables, especially those that reduce inflammation. These types of food will assist with weight loss (another way to reduce psoriasis flare-ups) and help you feel more healthy in general.  Since psoriasis is an anti-inflammatory disease, it’s helpful to indulge in foods that have been proven to help reduce inflammation like carrots, kale, spinach, sweet potatoes, broccoli, strawberries, mangoes, and blueberries. Avoid foods that increase inflammation, such as processed foods, greasy foods, refined carbohydrates, sugary foods, processed meats, full-fat dairy, and trans fats. Be sure to get enough fiber in your diet, but limit your protein intake. Eating fewer protein-dense foods (like meat and dairy products) can help minimize your psoriasis flare-ups. Adding more fiber will help your digestive tract get rid of many psoriasis-triggering toxins in your intestines.  To minimize the amount of unhealthy protein in your diet, try to eat fish (at least twice per week) and eliminate other meats from your diet.  High fiber foods include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. While sunburns can cause flare-ups, short periods of time outside can actually help you avoid flare-ups. Sunlight will slow the growth of your skin cells, which makes a flare-up less likely.  You should still wear sunscreen when you go outside. If you are prone to sunburn, spend less time outside so that you don't risk a burn. Talk to your doctor if you're taking any medications, however, as you may be more sensitive to sunlight. Eliminating (or at least reducing) how much alcohol you drink could be one of the most significant ways to prevent psoriasis flare-ups. Studies have shown that psoriasis flare-ups are much more common in people who drink heavily, and that eliminating alcohol consumption can reduce the severity and frequency of psoriasis flare-ups. Alcohol can also interact negatively with certain psoriasis drugs (like methotrexate and acitretin), so be sure to discuss your alcohol use with your doctor before beginning any new medication.
