hijab

That's what made me think to make the effort hijab shop in my hometown area muaradua. With this effort menegmbangkan many people who can benefit. Not only was I who founded but others, such as creating jobs. Many things that factor to develop this business, namely:

1.      Many Muslim women who wear hijab have

Muslim women in the village are usually considered modern. So I want to make this effort so that no Muslim in the township is not obsolete. To match the existing urban Muslim.

2.      Business opportunities

The small number of people who sell the veil or hijab is.

3.      Availability of land in favor

There are still many empty hold in my area.

This effort is a dream of mine since I first put on hijab. So that many Muslim women who are more interested in wearing the hijab again, not only memakain but his heart was also wearing hijab headscarf.

How to Cope when No One Cares About You

1. First, you need to decide what made you feel this way. Was it because no one noticed what you did? Was it because you were yelled at for something stupid? Was it because you need someone to listen, and no one wants to hear you out? This is probably the most important thing you can do. Don't rush it.
2. Remember, it's okay to cry. You will feel a whole lot better when you cry yourself out. Let the tears come. If you are embarrassed, go somewhere where people won't see you. Don't hold the tears in, that just makes things worse.  
3. If you're angry, it's also okay to yell, to scream, to hit something. (something, NOT someone.) I know people always tell you that you need to calm down, that it's not okay to throw a temper tantrum, etc. But sometimes, you just have to. It's not like you're doing it just because you didn't get your way. If you are genuinely upset, it's okay to let it out however that's possible.  
4. If you live somewhere where there's a quiet outdoor place, go there. Even if it's cold, the fresh air and peace really does help. I should know, I just got done with this. If it's cold, a fleece blanket does wonders to keep you warm. Plus, they're not heavy. Just lay down, and calm down. If that means you cry, then cry. If you need to scream, scream. I don't care, just let it all out.
5. If you have a pet (preferably one you like), take it outside with you. You don't have to constrain it, just watch it. That is, if that's something that makes you happy. Oh, and if you're crying, don't forget tissue. No one likes a stuffy, runny nose. 
6. Now that you're done throwing a fit (you have to admit, that's what you're doing, and it's okay), take a few calming breaths. If it's night time, look at the stars. If it's daytime, look at the clouds. Just clear your mind of all thought, even the thing that's upsetting you.
7. Think of the good things in life, like that pet of yours. Think of how beautiful the day is, or a time when you felt special. Think of times when you smiled. There's always a time, even if it was when you were smiling at someone. Think of a time when you accomplished something, and it made YOU feel good. It doesn't matter what other people thought, it's about you right now.
8. Right now, you can be selfish. I don't care if you're someone who never thinks about yourself. That's what probably got you into this mess, actually. When you're this upset, you can think about what's going to make you happy. It's okay. I promise.
9. When you've calmed down, think again about what upset you. Ask yourself, was it your day that made the situation worse? Did the situation ruin your day, or bring it down more? Was it completely unexpected, or has this been happening for a while? Is it something you can get away from? Answer yourself honestly, and you'll find out what the reason behind this affecting you so much was. Then, you have a starting ground to fix it. Once you fix it, it'll all be better!

how to make cupcake

Cupcake Baker's PantryWith these basic items, you can make and decorate a batch of cupcakes in a snap.

Equipment:

• Cupcake pans (mini and regular)
• Paper baking cups available in a variety of colors and prints.  Find them in supermarkets, party, craft or specialty cake decorating stores.
• Resealable food-storage plastic bags for piping icings and glazes.

Staples:

• Boxed cake mixes in a variety of flavors.
• Ready-to-spread frostings.
• Decorating icing, assorted colors.
• Decorating gels, assorted colors.
• Food colors (liquid, gel or paste). Try paste food color for more vivid color frosting.
• Assorted colored sugars and edible glitters.
• Assorted candy sprinkles.

Baking PansA box of cake mix makes 24 to 30 cupcakes in regular-size cupcake pan.  There are also pans that have mini, large and jumbo cups.

Pan Size		Cup Size
Mini		1 3/4 x 1 inches
Regular		2 1/2 x 1 1/4 inches
Large		2 3/4 x 1 1/4 inches
Jumbo		3 1/2 x 1 3/4 inches

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, just cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch.  Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

An easy way to fill baking cups is to use an ice cream scoop.  Use one that measures out 1/3 cup batter when filling regular-size cups. Use one that measures out 2 tablespoons batter when filling mini cups.


Frosting Tips

• Carefully dip tops of cupcake into the frosting, give a slight twist and remove.  Finish off with a swirl of a knife if needed.
• Dip frosted cupcakes into bowls of nuts, colored sugar, sprinkles, or other decors for easy decorating. 

How to Store Cupcakes

1. Cool cupcakes completely before covering to keep tops from becoming sticky (about 30 minutes).
2. Cover cupcakes that will be frosted later loosely so the tops stay dry. If covered tightly, they become sticky and difficult to frost.
3. Store cupcakes with a creamy-type frosting loosely covered with foil, plastic wrap or waxed paper or under a cake safe or inverted bowl
4. Refrigerate cupcakes with whipped cream toppings or cream fillings.
5. Frost cupcakes with fluffy frosting on the day they are to be served.
6. Freeze cupcakes two to three months, tightly wrapped.
7. To prevent frosting on frosted cupcakes from sticking, freeze cupcakes uncovered 1 hour, then insert a toothpick in the top of the cupcake, and tightly wrap.
8. Thaw cupcakes in the refrigerator or on the countertop.
9. When thawing on the countertop, loosen or remove wrapping to prevent condensation.
10. Decorating gel, hard candies and colored sugars do not freeze well because they tend to run during thawing.
