Web Design Museum: This web gallery geared toward “forgotten trends in web design” is loaded with screenshots from websites dating as far back as 1991. [1] X Research source Neocities: This free webhosting site is home to tons of 90s-style websites (and some modern ones) thanks to the service’s similarity to 90s website megahost Geocities. You’ll find tons of active retro websites with all of the best (worst?) features of the 90s, including plenty of colorful Comic Sans text and low-resolution animated GIFs....

Consider the colors found on the dress or suit, and make sure your theme matches appropriately. If for prom, consider using your school colors. You can look at an interior design color wheel for inspiration if necessary. Choose colors that are opposite from each other on the wheel — for instance, yellow and purple, or blue and orange.

If you prefer, you can cook the burgers under the broiler in your oven or in a frying pan. Be careful not to overwork the ground beef when you’re mixing it. That can result in tough burgers. You can add whatever your favorite burger seasonings are to the ground beef. For example, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper are tasty options. If you’re have trouble forming the ground beef into round patties, you may want to use mold to help you get the shape right....

Use Granny Smith apple for making an apple crumble, as they have less juice and they are firmer. You may need more apples, depending on the size of your baking apples. Make sure the apples fill about three-quarters of your pan. You can also sift the ingredients together into a bowl, but whisking is faster. Make sure your butter is firm and cold before you start using it to incorporate it to get a crumbly shortbread texture....

You can also soak in a warm bath if you prefer. Try to sink down low enough in the water that the hair touches your armpits. Sometimes, body hair can get trapped under a thin layer of skin. However, a razor blade can only cut through hairs above the skin. This can make you look like you have stubble, even right after you shave. You can do both armpits at once, or you can do one at a time if you prefer....

For this recipe, you can use regular corn meal, fine grind corn meal, or corn flour. Corn meal will produce a slightly grittier texture, whereas corn flour will produce smoother Cheetos. Continue whisking until all the water has been incorporated and you have a smooth dough. Use a clean freezer bag if you don’t have a piping bag. Cut a half-inch (1. 3-cm) hole in the bottom corner of the bag, and press the dough toward the hole to pipe it out....

Use only wooden cigar boxes or other wooden craft boxes, which are available at most craft stores, some discount or hardware stores, or from online craft sites. Do not use cardboard cigar boxes, as these will not work well for this project. For a chain handle, you will need to attach 2 eyelet hooks to the box (you should be able to screw these in by hand) and attach the chain with pliers by bending one of the links slightly to slip it through the eyelet....

To help eliminate debris you could sift the soil before adding it to the container. However, this is not necessary. If you still see a layer of sediment below the clay repeat the steps to remove the sediment. You can repeat this process until the water is no longer forming a substantial layer. Any cloth will do. You can use an old t-shirt or bedsheet. Be sure to use something that you don’t mind getting dirty....

Eucalyptus is found at most florists, as it is a favorite addition to many floral displays. In warmer climates, you might find eucalyptus for sale at farmer’s markets or gardening stores. You may find eucalyptus for sale online. Although it’s technically a tree or shrub, it’s also labeled as an herb for its fragrance and medicinal properties. The best time of day to cut eucalyptus is early in the morning, when its leaves contain a high concentration of oil....

Your lips themselves carry very little dead skin. [5] X Research source A little exfoliation might help, especially if the skin around your lips is flaky, but moisturizing is often more important. This scrub does both. If all of your sugar dissolves, just add in more until the mixture is a little gritty. If you’re looking to keep your lips moisturized long-term, apply homemade lip balm after rinsing. If the honey crystallizes, just place the container in a shallow bowl of hot tap water until the honey melts....

This preset will turn up the quieter parts of all played music on your iPhone, and help you better hear what’s happening in a song. Alternatively, you can try the Loudness preset. This option also boosts quieter sounds, and slightly muffles louder sounds to help you better hear your music in a loud environment. If you find the right end of the slider too loud, you can always come back and tone it down a little....

Choose the freshest and ripest fruit you can find for the most flavorful Italian ice. If you don’t like seeds, consider straining the mixture through a mesh strainer. To quickly cool the syrup before you freeze it, fill a large bowl with ice. Set the bowl that has your hot syrup on top of the ice in the larger bowl. Leave it there for 15 minutes till it’s cooler.

Use regular scissors to cut the pattern, not your fabric scissors. You are adding the extra space for wiggle room and seam allowance. Keep your lines and curves smooth. You don’t have to make the little bumps for the fingers. Think: basic mitten shape. The sweater will shrink. Don’t worry, this is fine. Choose a sweater that is at least 80 percent wool; 100 percent would be even better. [5] X Research source...

As a rule of thumb, the paper scraps should be about 1 inch (2. 5 cm) long and wide. Rip the paper by hand for the best results. Cutting the paper with scissors is doable but won’t work as well. The water will soak better into the paper if it has rough edges. If you plan on using a blender, you don’t have to let the paper soak all night. It will, however, give the pulp a softer consistency....

It’s natural for animals to scratch themselves occasionally under normal circumstances. Animals with fleas, though, will scratch frequently, for long periods of time. On animals with heavy coats, you’ll need to manually part the hairs so you can see down to their skin. If you do part the hairs, be sure to wash your hands immediately afterwards. It’s best to wear a pair of gloves (e. g. latex gloves) when you inspect your pet and handle their fut....

Would other people see a person breaking into my home from the road? How can I make my home more visible?” “Does my home look unoccupied? How can I make my home look more occupied both when I’m away and at home?...

If your computer’s been steadily slowing down over a period of time, it’s likely that the problem is either due to lack of proper computer care (e. g. , regularly shutting down) or age. When using computers that are several years old, updating to new versions of operating systems (e. g. , from Windows 7 to Windows 10) may negatively impact the computer’s performance. You can remove dust from a vent by using compressed air, or by wiping down the vents with a moist paper towel....

Ideally, your spotter should also be a fellow gymnast or cheerleader, so he or she is familiar with what to do. Your spotter should place a hand on your lower back while placing the other under your thighs as you flip backwards. Stand by your spotter with your legs, feet, and knees nearly together and your arms in front of you. First, do a “trust fall” back into your spotter’s arms just to make sure that he or she can handle your weight....
