Q: Darker skin tends to take on an "ashy" look when not properly moisturized. To keep from taking on an unhealthy-looking gray cast, always apply a moisturizer to your face after your daily shower.  If you have dry skin, you may want to use a liquid or cream foundation. For added hydration, you can mix a few drops of moisturizer into your foundation before you apply. Just be aware that this will lessen the coverage. You can also use a tinted moisturizer or bb cream for a dewy finish and translucent coverage. If you choose to make foundation a part of your beauty routine, it's important to find a product that's as close as possible to your natural skin tone.  Never use a foundation lighter than your skin tone. This can make your skin look patchy and your makeup caked on. When shopping for foundation, swatch it against your forehead or jawline. It's common for people with darker skin tones to be a little lighter at the face, so using your hand may not give you an accurate match.  Foundation shopping is often trickier for people with darker skin. Try researching which locally-available brands work best on darker skin to narrow down your choices.  You can also go to a local beauty shop or the makeup counter at a department store and ask for help there. These businesses often employ skilled makeup artists who might be better able to find the perfect match. Many will also offer a free makeover with your potential new foundation to help you decide. You should make sure the foundation you're thinking about buying is perfect in all lights, not just under the ones in the store. Try shopping without foundation or concealer on your face when trying out new foundations. Go outside and use a hand mirror to make sure the product blends in perfectly in the sun. While tanning is the trend in Western cultures, skin "bleaching" treatments are incredibly popular in India, especially among women with darker skin. It's best to stick to natural methods of lightening your skin, as many pharmaceutical products can have dangerous side-effects.  Examples of natural skin lighteners that some people find effective are lemon juice, turmeric, and dairy products. The best way to make your skin a little lighter is to avoid sun exposure and to apply sunscreen when you can't.  Bleaching your skin is by no means necessary. Dark skin is beautiful in its natural state. Don't lighten your skin to conform to some beauty standard. Only do so if it's your own personal preference.
A: Keep your skin moisturized. Match your foundation to your skin tone perfectly. Consider skin lightening treatments if you want lighter skin.

Q: The kind of party being thrown will dictate the things that need to be available for the party to be a success! A dance party isn't much of a dance party without music, a wine tasting party could benefit from an intriguing vintage, and almost every large party needs ice at some point. By anticipating needs, you can prove to the host that you'd be a welcome addition to the party crew. There are cost effective ways of doing this, like making a dish to pass, or bringing suitable beverages. Think carefully about what you can bring to make the party even better, or bring a specific gift for the host that takes her tastes into consideration. For example, you might:  Bring seasonal gifts, like a plastic pumpkin of Halloween candy, eggnog, winter themed treats, or cold drinks in the summer. Give a mixology set as a present for when the party gets started, but only if age appropriate. A dish to pass or snacks to contribute. Now that you've figured out a worthwhile contribution, bring it up to the party host or organizers. For instance, if you have a delicious recipe for chocolate chip cookies, you can simply say something like:  "Emily, I heard about your party. Sound super fun! If you need any dessert, I make killer chocolate chip cookies - my grandmother's recipe. Everybody love them!" "So what are your plans for the weekend? Oh, a party? Well, if you need dessert, I have the best recipe for homemade chocolate chip cookies." If your offer matches the needs of the party or the tastes of the host, you'll almost certainly be invited! This scenario has the added benefit of not only getting you legitimately invited to the party, but you'll also be appreciated for your contribution to it! There's always a possibility, whether due to your associations or the hosts perceptions, that you might be denied. Getting angry in this situation rarely does anything positive for your reputation. Be polite and have fun on your own.
A: Anticipate the needs of the party. Add to party supplies or bring a gift for the host. Mention your potential contribution to the host. Accept the invite, or politely accept being turned down.

Q: Because you've been signed out everywhere, you'll need to log back in with any devices that you still want to use with Netflix.

Q: When you want to make instant pudding, stir ½ cup (96 grams) of the mixture into 2 cups (475 milliliters) of milk. Cook in a saucepan over high heat, stirring constantly. When it starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Keep stirring, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it thickens. Pour into a serving bowl, and let it set for 5 minutes. You can serve this hot or chilled. If the vanilla beans get into the pudding, pick them out with a fork after you cook the pudding, and discard them.
A:
Store the instant pudding mixture in a cool, dry place.
