Print involves seeing; the web involves doing. Books, magazines, posters, newspapers, brochures, and advertisements all contain information, usually text and images, whose intent is to deliver some sort of message or content to a reader. More importantly, designers often try to build a call to action into their work that makes a customer believe there is some action they should be taking as a result of the design. Compare a print flyer for a shoe sale with its online counterpart. The call to action for the print fl yer is, “Show up at the store this Saturday to buy these…
Apply moisturizer to your skin. If the skin under the moisturizer is warm, there is a greater percentage of oil in the product. If the area is cool, there is a greater percentage of water. The science behind this is that evaporation cools, and water evaporates. Oil does not evaporate and therefore traps heat in the body. Put a small amount of moisturizer on a tissue, and hold it over a lightbulb. Products with higher oil content will melt. The wider the area of melted oil, the greater the percentage of oil in the moisturizer. SENSITIVE SKIN needs a moisturizer…
Your makeup is only as good as the tools you use to apply it. Therefore, your tools must always be in their best working condition. That means clean brushes, puffs, and sponges; sharpened tweezers; makeup containers that are in perfect shape; and makeup that’s not too old to use safely. A good set of brushes will last several years if it is well cared for. This involves storing the brushes properly (either in a neat brush roll that has individual slots for each brush or upright in a pencil cup) and keeping them clean. To clean brushes, take a drop…
It is a good idea to develop some shopping strategies to avoid frustration, intimidation, or impulse-buying. First, determine your budget. Makeup can be expensive. Estimate the cost of your supply needs, and add a realistic amount for trying new products. Making an inventory list of all the supplies in your makeup kit is very helpful. Use this as a shopping list, and just circle the needed items. If you want to replace something specific, you can take the container with you to the store. In a helpful.

To make the biscuits, preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a baking sheet or 8 wells of a standard-size 12- well muffin pan with coconut oil spray. 2.

Gently fold the dry mixture into the egg whites. Fold in the cheese. If the dough is too wet to form…
When I was in high school, I worked at the cutest coffee shop called Uncommon Ground. I loved that job. I often dream about opening my own little coffee shop someday. If I did, this latte would for sure be on my menu! 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or butter-flavored coconut oil if dairy-free) 1¼ cups unsweetened cashew milk (or hemp milk if nut-free) 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, plus extra for garnish (optional) 2 tablespoons Swerve confectioners’-style sweetener or equivalent amount of liquid or powdered sweetener (see here) 3 tablespoons hot brewed decaf espresso or other strong brewed decaf coffee…
Many everyday foods are high in sugar and carbs, which is why I’ve found healthier substitutions to use in my recipes. I was that girl who could never stop at ½ cup of pasta or one chip, so I loved putting together this information—all the foods in each photo have the same amount of carbs, so they make it shockingly clear just how much healthier these replacements are. As Craig and I prepped the ingredients to photograph, Craig had to keep making more and more and more zucchini noodles just to equal the carbs in a measly ½ cup of…
