Blow a horn or whistle or blink a flashlight if you see deer in your yard. You can also get sensors that emit high-pitched noises when they detect movement. Keep in mind you will need to change your method at least every 3 weeks as deer will quickly adjust to any 1 method.  For example, if you're using a whistle, after 3 weeks, switch to the flashlight. Try hanging old CDs or aluminum foil from trees or shrubs. The flashing lights from the CDs and rustling noise of the foil help deter deer. Wind chimes rattling in the breeze or a flashy garden accessory with moving parts like a pinwheel are both decorative ways to keep deer away. These sprinklers go off when they detect any movement, like a deer stepping into your garden. Place them anywhere you don't want deer. However, the sprinklers only work in the warmer summer months because they'll freeze up in the winter.  Look for a sprinkler with an infrared sensor that will detect motion at night, too. Move your sprinkler around every couple of weeks so the deer don't become used to it or learn how to avoid it. Deer are afraid of predators like dogs and are likely to steer clear if they suspect one is nearby. Keep Fido outside more often or stake a silhouette of a dog in the yard. Even the decoy will frighten deer.  Scattering dog hair on the ground around specific plants and trees or around the perimeter of your garden gives off the scent of a predator to deer, scaring them off. Decoys of any predators, like owls, coyotes, or hawks, will work. You can buy decoys that move, too, which are even more effective. Keep your dog's safety in mind. Don't leave your dog outside if it's raining or really cold. Smaller dogs shouldn't be left unsupervised for long periods of time, either, if there are birds of prey in your area.

For the health of your skin and the sake of longer lasting makeup, start each morning by washing your face. Be sure to use a gentle cream or gel cleanser designed for the face. Massage the cleanser into your skin for about 30 seconds, using a circular motion, and rinse well using lukewarm water. Gently pat your face dry with a soft towel to remove most, but not all, of the moisture. To give your makeup a soft, smooth surface over which to be applied, make sure your face is moisturized. You can use toners, serums, eye creams, or just a basic moisturizing facial lotion. Be sure to apply it when your skin is still slightly damp. To prevent dryness, moisturize your face after every time you wash it. This is especially important in the summer months, but you should actually wear sunscreen year-round. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, and apply it liberally to your face, neck, and ears. Sunscreen and proper sun-protection habits will help protect your skin from skin cancer, freckles, wrinkles, and premature aging.

You’ll only need to add a couple inches (three or four centimeters) of water to a saucepan. Put it on the stove and set the heat to low. Heat it slowly until it starts to simmer. Use a glass or stainless steel bowl, and place it into the saucepan so that it sits within the pot but doesn’t touch the simmering water. There should be at least an inch of space between the bottom of the bowl and the top of the water. Indirectly heating the milk in the glass or stainless steel bowl will ensure a slower, more even boil. Keep the heat on low so the water in the saucepan continues to simmer. Carefully pour the milk into the glass or stainless steel bowl. Stir frequently, and heat it until you see tiny bubbles around the edge of the bowl and steam rising from the milk. When the milk boils, turn the heat off and either use it or cool it according to your recipe.
