Creating an Open Mouth Puppet Start by outlining the mouth with a white makeup pencil and then make the outline of the teeth by separating the lip into 5 equal parts then do the same on the chin. With black face paint (you can purchase at any halloween store) paint the middle area black. Draw down on both sides of the face with black for the outline, this is where you previously had the white pencil line. Using white paint draw in on the bottom lip and the chin for the teeth. Paint the top lip red and the bottom of the chin red, this will give you the illusion of an open mouth. For the eyes, start by using the same white eyeliner pencil to make 'U' shapes under the eyes and then paint the 'U' in with white face paint. Using a thin makeup brush line the bottom of the 'U' with black. Simply apply glue to fake eyelashes and glue them directly to the skin at the black line. Using a bright pink blush, apply the blush in a circular motion on the cheeks. Finish the look with freckles, you can use a thin makeup brush or an eye liner pencil.
LEG CLIMBERS – Great for the core (stomach and abs) and good for beginners. Lie on your back and slowly climb up your leg with your arms and climb back down. Do this on both legs. BRIDGE LIFTS – Here's another one that is great for the core. Lie on your back and plant your feet on the ground lifting your leg up and down trying to get as much range of motion as you can get. Do this on both legs. ELBOW DOWNWARD STRIKE – this is a mixed martial arts move that is great for coordination and full body movement. Hands are up next to ears, elbow, down strike towards the ground. PUSHUP CRUNCH – Get in the plank (push-up) position. Go down as far as you can to complete a push up and then take your left leg and crunch it knee to your elbow. Do the other side and alternate. To modify just do a small push up and shorter crunch that doesn't extend all the way to your knee. MARY CATHERINE - This burns calories, gets your heart rate up.

If you're going to be out of town for a while, shut off the water to the house and to the water heater, and drain the system. If possible blow air into the system to get all of the water out. This will prevent water freezing in the pipes, and expanding. Main thing I want to stress is: unless you are an expert – call your plumber. However, I’ve got some great ways to keep your pipes from freezing as well as what to do if they do freeze.
Select your best or favorite recipes. A good cookbook is an assemblage of a well thought-out collection of recipes that reflect themes, such as starters, appetizers, entrées, desserts, baking, etc. Generally you stick to one cooking style rather than being too eclectic, for example, raw, homestyle, old-fashioned, family friendly, easy cooking, fast cooking, dinner party cooking, fresh, seafood focused, etc. You might also consider the recipes that are always a hit with family and friends and that are fairly fail-proof. These virtues can be touted and will encourage readers to give such recipes a try. Prepare the recipes. If you have them in a variety of places such as your head, different pieces of paper, various cookbooks etc., it's time to draw together your collection. Always use your own words when writing up the recipes. While lists of ingredients are not covered by copyright and common ways of performing recipe actions are usually not copyright either, the words used to describe the methods in each step or as a whole are copyright, so you must use your own words where you are relying on your cookbook collection. Acknowledge where possible. If you know you've used a recipe from a favorite chef for the past few years, consider acknowledging the original source, even though you've long since deviated from the exact same ingredients. It's a common courtesy and helps to maintain the sense of ongoing sharing and pride that is commonplace in the cooking community. Take photos. If you are adding photos to your cookbook, make up the meals or items and photograph them. Contemporary readers tend to expect more images in cookbooks than was the case in cookbooks of the past. Photos help the reader imagine the end result more concretely and give inspiration to try the dish out. Take several photos from differing angles to get the best possible final shot of each recipe being photographed. You don't need a photo for all recipes unless that's the sort of cookbook style you're after; just select the recipes that you'd most like featured as part of the photos. Make any changes to photos using photo fixing software. If you can't take photos or don't like doing it while juggling the cooking, find a friend or family member willing to help. Some printing places will do this for you but it adds to the cost, so it's best to do it yourself if you're self-publishing. Bring the recipes together. Select the order in which you would like to place the recipes in the cookbook. Write an overview and a table of contents to help guide your placement. Look at existing cookbooks for ideas of the way that recipes are usually ordered. While it's okay to be slightly quirky, remember that readers have fairly set-in-stone ideas of the usual direction of recipe books, which tends to be savory to sweet, starters to mains to dessert, and so forth, depending on what food selections you're bringing together.
