Acetone-based nail polish is a very strong solvent. Crack a window and turn on the ceiling fan to keep air-flow moving. Is possible, work outside. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to wear plastic gloves while working with acetone. Make sure you're using acetone-based nail polish! Non-acetone remover won't work. Uncap the bottle and pour it liberally on a wad of paper towels. You want the towels to be saturated with acetone. Acetone is strong and effective, so you shouldn't have to scrub the stain vigorously. Wipe the glass until all of the ink has lifted. Apply more acetone as needed. Wet a clean cloth with water, then wring it out thoroughly so that it's damp, not soaked. Wipe the surface with the cloth to rinse away any acetone residue on the glass. If any acetone got on your hands, wash them with soap and water afterwards.

Summary: Work in a well-ventilated area. Soak paper towels with the nail polish remover. Wipe the ink-stained surface. Rinse the surface with a dampened cloth.


Processed foods generally contain a large amount of sodium and phosphorous. Too much sodium can increase your blood pressure, which can harm your kidneys. Too much phosphate can cause kidney stones which, as the name suggests, can hurt your kidneys. Processed foods include: Potato chips, cheese spreads, processed meats like hot dogs, chicken nuggets and fish sticks, store bought cookies, cakes, muffins, and crackers, pre-made condiments and salad dressings. Fiber helps the body to get rid of toxins and other bad chemicals that can be found in the colon. When bad substances are eliminated in the colon, the kidney doesn’t have to deal with processing toxins, because the fiber in the colon has already done that. High fiber foods include:  Fruits like raspberries, pears, bananas, oranges, strawberries, and figs. Grain products like whole wheat spaghetti, bran cereal, barley pearls, popcorn, brown rice, and rye bread. Legumes, nuts and seeds like lentils, black beans, lima beans, sunflower seeds, almonds, pistachios, and pecans. Vegetables like artichokes, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, sweet corn, baked potatoes, and carrots. Sodium refers to common table salt. High amounts of salt in your diet can lead to high blood pressure (which is explained more in Method Three). High blood pressure can harm your kidneys, so it is best to decrease the amount of salt you eat to avoid developing high blood pressure. High salt foods include:  Cheese and cheese spreads. Pretzels, chips, and other snack foods. Pickled foods. Soups and gravies. Cured meats like bacon, salami and prosciutto. You should drink at least 8 to 10 glasses (or 2 to 2.5 liters) of water every day. When you stay hydrated, your kidney is able to process the things that you put in your body (including toxins) more efficiently. When you are not hydrated enough, the toxins will linger in your body fluids, making them harder for your kidneys to process. If you get bored with water, you can also drink the following to stay hydrated: Fruit juices diluted with water, coconut water, smoothies, fresh squeezed juice, and herbal teas. Soda is one of the worst things (besides toxins like alcohol and tobacco) that you can put in your body. This is because most sodas contain no nutritional value, which means that they are empty calories that you will have to work off. If you do not work these empty calories off, you may become overweight, which will put a lot more pressure on your kidneys. If you have a very high amount of lipids (fat cells) like cholesterol or triglycerides in your blood vessel walls, you might want to consider taking medication that can help you to reduce the number of these fat cells. Such drugs include statins or fenofibrates.  Statins are drugs that lower your cholesterol. The most common types of this drug include Lipitor, Zocor, and Mevacor.  Fenofibrates should be used in combination with a low-fat diet and exercise. It is used to reduce the amount of fatty substances (like cholesterol) in your bloodstream.

Summary: Limit the amount of processed food you eat. Eat a lot of fiber. Decrease the amount of sodium you consume. Stay hydrated. Stay away from soda. Consider taking fat-reducing drugs.


Put both of the cake pans on the middle rack of your preheated oven. Bake them until the tops are golden brown and the sides pull away from the pan. You can also gently press the center of a cake. If it's done, it should spring back immediately. If it doesn't, bake it for 2 to 3 more minutes and check again. Leave the cakes in the pans once you take them out of the oven. They should continue to pull away from the sides of the pans. After 5 minutes, run a butter knife around the sides of the cake pans and carefully flip them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Summary: Bake the cakes for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool the cakes for 5 minutes before flipping them out onto a wire rack.


Find the metal knob, and twist it until the outer loop expands. Pop the inner loop out. If you wish to paint your embroidery hoop, twist the knob until it comes out. Place the knob and bolt part some place safe. You can use acrylic paint or spray paint. If your hoop is made from plastic, it might be better to leave it the original color; paint scratches off plastic easily. If your hoop is made from wood, you can paint it any color you'd like. You can also leave it blank, if you'd like something more rustic. You will trim off the excess fabric after you put the hoop back together. Try to center the lace as much as possible. There should be equal amounts of fabric hanging off the edges of your hoop. If you took the knob and bolt off, you will need to put them back in. Place the screw part of the knob through both holes on the metal clasp. Once you have it through, place the bolt at the end of the screw. Start tightening the knob and bolt until the outer hoop closes and you can't tighten it anymore. Try to cut as close to the hoop as possible. Choose some ribbon that matches your earring holder, and cut it. Thread it through the metal closure, right under the screw, and tie the ends in a knot. To hide the knot, rotate the ribbon until the knot is at the bottom. It will rest inside the closure, between the screw and the hoop. You can now stick earrings through the tulle or lace. This works best with hook earrings.
Summary: Take an embroidery hoop apart. Paint the hoops, if desired, and wait for the paint to dry. Cut a piece of lace or tulle a few inches larger than your hoop. Place the lace on top of the inner hoop. Place the upper hoop on top, and tighten it. Trim off the excess lace using a pair of fabric scissors. Thread some ribbon through the metal closure, and tie it in a knot. Hang and use your earring holder.
