Problem: Article: While in a bath or shower, exfoliate your skin at least once a week using a loofa, face cloth, shower puff, etc.  Exfoliation helps to remove the top layer of dead and dry skin cells, which when left as is, prevent your moisturizer from penetrating into your skin deep enough. When in a shower or bath, use soaps and body washes that contain moisturizer to wash your body.  The labels for soaps and body washes will indicate if they contain moisturizing ingredients. One option is to apply oil to your skin while in the shower or bath, and then rinse off as much as you can before getting out.  This moisturizes you skin nicely, but removes the excess oil so it doesn't stain your clothes or feel slippery. Whether you're washing your hands, or having a shower or bath, use warm water and not really hot water.  Unfortunately hot water can actually accelerate how quickly your skin ages and dries it out faster than warm water. If you've ever swam in a swimming pool or bathed in a hot tub, you probably noticed how dry your skin was afterwards.  This dryness was caused by the chemicals used in the water to remove bacteria (as the water is used over and over again).  Most city treated water also has chemicals added to reduce bacteria, although in much smaller amounts.  However long exposure to that water can still cause your skin to dry out, so it's best to keep your showers and baths as short as you can. Many products — other than specifically designed body moisturizers — can help hydrate your skin.  For example, you can use coconut or olive oil, instead of moisturizer, to get the same, or even better, results.  If you decide to use an oil rather than a moisturizer, remember to wipe off excess oil with a towel after it's been applied to your skin. Also keep in mind that some oil may stain the clothes you put on over top of your skin.  Because of this, it is best to apply oils before bed, under your pyjamas. Try out body butter for another natural, oil-based moisturizer.
Summary: Exfoliate at least once a week. Wash with a moisturizing soap or body wash. Do not use hot water to wash your skin. Use oil instead of moisturizer.

Problem: Article: Libraries are traditionally quiet zones for reading, studying, and other activities that require concentration. Keep your voice down any time you're in a library, and whisper whenever possible.  While it's not required to whisper anymore, a loud voice can easily disturb others. If you run into someone you know, take the conversation outside. Many libraries have lobbies or other designated areas where conversation is allowed. Many libraries have rooms or even floors set aside for study groups. Ask a librarian if there is a space like this where your group can talk together at a normal volume. You may be tempted to switch your phone to vibrate instead of silent, but vibrating phones can be just as distracting as ringing phones. If you need to answer a phone call, step outside the library or move into the lobby.  Many libraries now have cubbies designated for talking on cellphones. A good option is to keep your phone on vibrate if you're expecting an important call. Just make sure to silence it right away when it starts buzzing. Many people enjoy listening to music while reading or studying. Using headphones will limit distraction of noisy music, but the sound tends to escape if the volume is too high. Turn down the volume so the music doesn't escape from your headphones and irritate others. Use headphones if you need to listen to audio files. Just check the volume first to make sure sound doesn't escape. Many libraries don't allow food, except in designated areas. Check the rules before bringing food into any particular library. If you do bring snacks, try not to eat while in the library. Few things are more distracting than loud munching.  If you plan on being in the library for a long time and absolutely must bring snacks, choose foods that aren't crunchy or smelly. Granola bars or string cheese might be good choices.  Schedule regular snack breaks where you can leave the library for a bit. This will give your brain a break and keep you from disturbing others with your snacking.  Drinks are allowed in the library as long as they are in a covered container, such as a water bottle with a cap. If you do bring snacks with you, try to eat them away from books and computers, and in a non-carpeted area. This will keep crumbs from getting smashed into the carpet, books, or keyboards. Smacking on gum can be particularly distracting, so leave the gum at home. The librarian may ask you to spit out your gum if you don't throw it away yourself.
Summary: Speak in whispers or hushed tones. Turn your cellphone on silent. Keep the volume low if you're using headphones. Eat your meals outside the library. Toss out your gum before entering the library.

Problem: Article: Sea monkeys begin life by feeding off the nutrients in their egg sac. Check on the eggs daily to see if they've begun to hatch. Once they have, wait five days before you start to feed them.  Newly hatched sea monkeys can be extremely small. Move your tank to a well-lit area and examine the water closely for tiny, pale, moving dots. Use a magnifying glass if necessary. If the sea monkey eggs do not hatch within 48 hours, move the tank to an area with stronger light. Keep the tank away from direct sunlight, however, as this can cause it to overheat Use the smaller end of the feeding spoon to pick up the food, and move one of these small spoonfuls into the tank. If you do not have a feeding spoon, try using a clean plastic straw as a scoop. It's better to give them too little food than too much. Different handbooks vary in their instructions, but most sea monkey tanks will thrive when fed at intervals of five to seven days. Only increase the feeding rate or amount if your sea monkey population grows much larger than the initial packet's population, and if there is no sediment on the base of the tank. If the water becomes cloudy or dirty-looking, stop feeding the shrimp. Wait until the water becomes clear again before adding food. This cloudy appearance is usually the result of too much algae, bacteria, or other organisms that can suffocate the sea monkeys if they continue to grow. Adult brine shrimp digestive tracks become dark when full. If you see this dark line running across a sea monkey's body, it is probably eating well. If you do not, consider feeding them more often, but only as described below. If you acquire more sea monkeys, or if the population grows, you may need to increase the amount of food or the frequency of feeding. Adjust slowly to avoid killing the tank's population through overfeeding. Reduce the interval between feeding sessions by one day at a time, returning to the old feeding schedule if the water becomes cloudy or the sea monkeys start acting sluggish or uninterested in food. Alternatively, keep the same feeding schedule but switch to the large end of the feeding spoon.
Summary:
Don't feed a new tank until 5 days after hatching. Feed the sea monkeys a tiny amount of Growth Food. Repeat the feeding once every five to seven days. Skip feedings if the water gets cloudy. Watch for a dark streak on the sea monkeys as a sign of health. Increase feedings cautiously.
