Q: Get out a silk or satin scarf that's about 30 inches (76 cm) square and lay it flat. Take 1 corner of the square and fold it so it meets the opposite corner. The long folded side of the scarf will form the base of a triangle. Feel the scarf and lay the softer side face down before you fold it. This will reduce friction which can cause frizzy hair. Hold both ends of the folded scarf and bring the center of the folded side to the base of your neck. Your hair shouldn't extend below the folded edge. Keep the loose point of the triangle up and over the top of your head. Pull both corners at the folded ends of the scarf along your hairline towards the top of your head. Keep the scarf taut so the long side stays firmly along the nape of your neck. Then, tie the ends into a knot and pull until the knot rests near your forehead.  The knot can be tied above or below the top point that hangs over your head. Try both ways and see which feels the most comfortable for you. Remember that your hair should be behind the knot. You'll still have 2 long ends after you've tied them. To keep the remaining ends of the scarf from falling into your face, bring them back down towards the nape of your neck. Tie the ends in place with a firm knot. Ensure that the scarf feels comfortable. If it feels too tight, rewrap it so you don't give yourself a headache. Now that the scarf is secure around your hairline, pull the pointed corner of the scarf down towards your forehead. Ensure that your hair is contained under the scarf and then push the pointed corner under the knot that you made near your forehead. Wrap the corner up and under the knot so it's secure.  Skip this step if you'd like to leave your hair looser instead of containing all of it under the scarf. If you have short hair and have kept the point beneath the knot that you tied, you just need to bring the corner up and under.
A: Fold a square scarf into a triangle. Place the long side of the triangle against the nape of your neck. Bring the ends of the scarf up to the top of your head and tie them. Pull the long ends down to the base of your neck and tie them at the hairline. Tuck the pointed corner of the scarf under the flap.

Q: It’s very common for young children to develop knock knees as the muscles in their legs develop. The condition typically first appears in children between the ages of 2 and 5, and most often goes away by the time the child is 7. While it’s a good idea to talk to your child’s doctor if they develop knock knees at this age, they likely won’t need any treatment. If your child develops knock knees before the age of 2, talk to their pediatrician. If your child’s knock knees haven’t resolved on their own by the time they’re 7, make an appointment with their pediatrician to find out if there’s an underlying issue. They will likely do a physical exam, and may also recommend other diagnostic tests, such as X-rays or blood tests. You should also make an appointment with a doctor if your child develops knock knees after age 7 or if their knock knees are causing problems, such as pain, difficulty walking, or self-esteem issues. Common causes of knock knees in children include vitamin deficiencies (such as rickets) and knee injuries. If your child’s doctor is able to identify and treat an underlying cause for your child’s persistent knock knees, they may be able to treat the issue and help the problem correct itself. Depending on what’s causing the knock knees, your doctor may recommend medications or supplements for your child. If your child’s knock knees are causing pain or affecting the way they walk, physical therapy can be helpful. Ask your pediatrician to recommend a physical therapist who has experience working with children with knock knees. Physical therapy will be particularly important if your child needs surgical correction for their knock knees. Their therapist can recommend exercises to restore strength and range of motion after the surgery. If your child’s knock knees don’t correct themselves by the time they’re 7, orthotic devices can be very helpful. Your child’s pediatrician or physical therapist may recommend a special shoe or shoe insert to help correct your child’s gait. They might also prescribe a night brace—a leg brace that your child wears at night to help straighten and realign the knee. Ask your child’s doctor, physical therapist, or orthopedic specialist to show you how to put your child’s shoes or braces on correctly. While surgery is not usually necessary to treat knock knees in kids, your doctor may recommend it if your child’s knock knees are severe or don’t respond to other treatments. The most common surgical treatment for children is called “guided growth surgery.” Ask your doctor if this procedure is right for your child.  Guided growth surgery is typically performed around the time of puberty (between the ages of 11 and 13 for most children). This procedure involves implanting a metal device on the inner side of the knee joint to correct the alignment of the knee as it grows. After knee surgery, your child may need to use a crutch or walker for several weeks. They can usually return to all their regular activities after 6 months.
A: Take a wait-and-see approach for children under 7. Ask a doctor to evaluate your child if the condition hasn’t improved by age 7. Treat any underlying conditions that might be causing the problem. Find a physical therapist to help your child work on strength and gait issues. Get special braces or shoes for your child if your doctor recommends them. Look into guided growth surgery if other approaches don’t work.

Q: Rock candy takes on a beautiful hue that is accentuated by it's natural rock shape. Pick a color and flavor that complement each other.  You can try one of these classic combinations or come up with your own:  Purple rock candy with lavender flavoring. Orange rock candy with tangerine flavoring. Pink rock candy with rose flavoring. Red rock candy with cinnamon flavoring. Place them evenly around the jar and lean them against the lip of the jar. Secure them in place with small pieces of tape, so they don't slide against each other while the rock candy forms.  You can use wooden chopsticks in place of skewers. A string suspended from a pencil is also a good base for rock candy. Cover the jar with plastic wrap. This prevents dust and bugs from getting into the jar while the rock crystals form. It takes a week or two for the sugar to crystallize into the shape of pretty rocks attached to the skewers. When you're happy with the size of the rocks, remove the skewers from the jar and lay them out to dry.
A: Mix the sugar and water in a large jar. Stir the mixture well.  Add the food coloring and flavor.  Suspend the wooden skewers in the solution. Wait for the sugar to form into rocks. Dry the rock candy.

Q: Get pre-purchased crushed ice or crush ice yourself by grinding up ice cubes in a blender. As the ice melts, it will cut through the creaminess of the drink which makes it taste better. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, place the cubes in a tall glass instead. Carefully measure out the Amarula and coconut water in a shot glass or jigger so that you use the proper amounts. If you'd rather have a citrus cocktail, replace the coconut water with a shot of Triple Sec instead.  You can also replace the coconut water with a shot of gin if you'd rather make a martini. If you want an even stronger cocktail, put 2 shots of Amarula in the drink. Vigorously shake the shaker to mix everything together and partially melt some of the crushed ice. This infuses the Amarula with the crushed ice. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, place the top of another glass into the glass with the Amarula so that it forms a seal. Then, hold both glasses together and shake the beverage to mix it. You don't have to strain the drink because it tastes great on ice. If you used Triple Sec instead of coconut water, garnish the drink with an orange peel to finish it off.
A:
Place 2.5 oz (71 g) of crushed ice of crushed ice into a cocktail shaker. Pour 1 shot of Amarula and 1 shot of coconut water into the shaker. Shake the drink to incorporate all the ingredients. Pour the drink into a martini glass and enjoy.
