Firework Safety Tips

The Three Stooges aren’t a very careful trio. In celebration of the 4th of July holiday, Larry, Moe and Curly will give you some firework safety guidelines to prevent you from getting injured.  Tips will include: Use fireworks outdoors only and buy only legal fireworks.

USE FIREWORKS OUTDOORS ONLY

Lighting fireworks at home is not legal in many locations so make sure to check that you’re not violating any laws before you make a purchase.   Should it be allowed in your area, make sure to not set off any indoors as they are highly dangerous and are highly flammable.  For extra precaution, have a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher.

STEER CLEAR OF OTHERS

Fireworks have been known to backfire and shoot off in the wrong direction.  Never throw or point fireworks at anyone, including pets, even as a joke.

BUY ONLY LEGAL FIREWORKS

When making your purchase for fireworks, make sure to check the label for the manufacturer’s name and directions as illegal fireworks are unlabeled.  Illegal fireworks have been banned since the 1960s and are highly dangerous.  It also goes without saying that you should never try to make your own fireworks., even if they come in a kit.

DON’T RELIGHT A DUD

If a firework does not seem to work, douse it with water or hose it down.  Don’t make an attempt to relight it.

HAVE ADULT SUPERVISION AT ALL TIMES

 Never let children operate fireworks on their own, even sparklers.  Sparklers can reach 1800* F and can still be dangerous.  Make sure an adult is always present.

"Elegantgirl48" wrote:Start with sunscreen A dewy, fresh complexion is #### and youthful. Starting with a clean face, apply sunscreen to face and neck (see my list of the Top 10 Sunscreens). Rain or shine, you should get in the habit of applying sunscreen every day. I use a tinted moisturizer with SPF 50 (it's on my list) so I don't have to use foundation. Because I have dry skin, I apply moisturizer BEFORE my sunscreen. If you have oily skin, rinse face with warm water and pat dry before applying sunscreen. Apply concealer Dot concealer with your ring finger to the spots that need it most (under the eye, along the nose, on the chin). Blend in by patting in, never rubbing, the concealer (see How to Apply Concealer). Foundation is next Apply a tinted moisturizer or foundation to your face making sure to blend along the jawline so you don't have a tell-tale line. Few people need to apply foundation all over the face (see "How to Avoid Cake Face"). Simply apply where you have uneven skin tone (usually along your nose and on the skin). In wintertime, if your cheeks tend to get ruddy, apply there as well. For more sheer, natural coverage, consider a tinted moisturizer, which goes on much lighter than typical foundations. See my list of the Best Foundation. Blush, bronzer Apply blush on the apples of your cheeks (see How to Apply Blush). If you want to appear sun-kissed, apply a bronzer as well (see How to Apply Bronzer). At this point, I love to use a highlighter pen to brighten my face (see how in this review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat. Apply eyeliner Now that your face is set, it's time to make up your eyes. Apply eyeliner to lids. There are many different way to apply eyeliner. You can go for the basic eye, a smokey eye, a cat eye and much more. For a basic eye, simply apply liner to the upper lashes and the lower lashes, smudging along the lower so it doesn't look drawn on. For many more tips on eyeliner, see How to Apply Eyeliner. Apply concealerIf you wear eyeshadow, be sure to set the eye first with an eyeshadow primer, otherwise the shadow will melt into your eyelids. Next is the eyeshadow Just as there are many ways to apply eyeliner, there are many eyeshadow looks you can experiment with. For a basic eye, simply apply a base shade on the lid of the eye. Apply a darker contouring shadow in the crease. Make sure to blend it all in well. For many more tips, see How to Apply Eyeshadow. Curl those lashes Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler. You can blast your curler for 3 seconds with a hairdryer to make the curl hold better, just be sure to test the metal to ensure it's not too hot first. Moving on to mascara Apply mascara by wiggling the wand from the roots of your lashes on through to the ends. To perfect your mascara application, check out How to Apply Mascara. Leave your lips for last Once you have your face made up you can see exactly what type of lip treatment you need. You can either fill in lips with lip liner and apply lip balm or gloss over it, or you can line lips first then apply lipstick. Some women opt for just gloss or balm. For more tips on lips, see How to Apply Lipstick. Set your makeup Set your face with loose powder or a spritz of Evian spray. What You Need sunscreen concealer foundation eyeliner eyeshadow primer and eyeshadow bronzer and/or blush (or neither!) mascara and an eyelash curler lipstick, gloss or balm All that is good, but I think you mean you want to try new ideas. You can't exactly try anything new with foundations and concealers and such. This will sound weird, but go to the public library. They should have a section for beauty and hair and nails. You can check out some makeup books, I've learned a lot of new eyeshadow stuff from library books! Watch videos. Try buying bright eyeshadow and blush colors, and just experiment. I like to put an all over color to my eyes, then put little dots of color to the outside corners. Try gold eyeliners, or dark navy blue, or silver eyeliners. Try matte lipsicks, with a gloss over them. Try loose eyeshadow powder, try blush creams, try blush powders. Just look around the makeup aisle wherever you are, and see what kinda stuff they have. I really like BB creams right now, and the Beauty Blender sponge. Sponges work really well for foundations, just make sure to clean them. As for foundations, try powder, cream, foam, liquid, or other ones you see. Sorry I was all over the place, I was just trying to cover a lot.

First of all, how could it be all your brother's fault? Its my bros fault my mom and dad fight - maybe they just haven't been getting along lately.  its my bros fault my parents r almost divorced - not necessarily, how could your brother cause your parent's divorce? it's because they just haven't been getting along, not because of your brother's existence. its my bros fault that him and my grandpa have a bad relationship - maybe your grandpa and your brother have never really had a good relationship. its my bros fault my dad and my grandpa don't get along - maybe they just have never really gotten along, like my grandma and my dad, they argue sometimes but they still love each other.   its my bros fault the dogs r bad - did your brother abuse the dogs? if so, then you should probably tell your parents. if not ( or if he did abuse your #####, you should take your #### ## # ### trainer to help fight the aggression.  its my bros fault i get in trouble - well that seems logical, most siblings do tell on each other. so don't worry.my bros fault that everything bad happens ALL OF IT - it can't be all your brothers fault.
