| How to Hide Your Real Name on PayPal Posted: 23 Apr 2021 05:00 PM PDT PayPal requires users to use their real names on personal accounts. If you don't want the people you exchange money with on PayPal to know your real name, you'll need to set up a business account. Although you'll still need to provide your real name to PayPal to set up your account, you can make your business name anything you want. This wikiHow teaches you how to switch to a business account to protect your real name on PayPal. - Create a new email address for your business. To create a business account, you'll want to make sure you're using an email address that doesn't have your real name attached to it. This ensures that nothing about your account will accidentally display your real name to the people with whom you exchange money.
- Creating a new email address also allows you to keep your personal account open, which means you can continue using it with the people you don't mind knowing your real name. If you do use the same email address, PayPal will close your personal account and you'll only have your business account.[1]
- Even if you haven't registered legally as a business, you are still allowed to create a PayPal business account.
- Sign in to https://www.paypal.com. Log in to the account for which you want to hide your real name.
- Click the gear icon. It's at the top-right corner.[2] This takes you to your Settings.
- Click . It's toward the bottom of the left panel.
- Select . It's the first option. This ensures you don't close your personal account.
- Alternatively, you can choose Use your current email address to switch to a business account if you don't mind closing your personal account.
- Click the blue button. It's at the bottom of the page.
- Enter your email address and click . Now you'll be asked to provide details about your business.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to create your business account. During the setup process, you'll be asked to enter your business name (make sure it's something you don't want to hide), your contact information, and some basic information about your business.[3] Once your business account is created, you can use that to send and receive payments with PayPal instead of the account connected to your real name.
- You will be asked for your employer ID or sole proprietor ID. This is for tax purposes. If you are not actually a registered business, just enter your social security number here.[4]
- After creating your business account, you can link your regular bank account. Even though your real name is connected to your bank account, nobody you do business with will see your name or banking information.

| How to Roast Brazil Nuts Posted: 23 Apr 2021 09:00 AM PDT If you don't like the chewy, coconut flavor of fresh Brazil nuts, toss them with a little oil and toast them until they're crunchy. Since it doesn't take a lot of effort to roast Brazil nuts in the oven, on the stove, or in the microwave, consider making a big batch that you can store for later. You can enjoy the slightly nutty flavor of this crunchy nuts in granola, cereal, or trail mix. [Edit]Ingredients [Edit]Oven Roasted Brazil Nuts - 3 cups (400 g) of Brazil nuts
- of vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon (2 g) of ground cinnamon, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of mixed spice or cayenne pepper, optional
- 2 tablespoons (42 g) of honey or maple syrup, optional
Makes 3 cups (400 g) of Brazil nuts [Edit]Stovetop-Toasted Nuts - 1 cups (133 g) of Brazil nuts
- of vegetable oil or melted butter, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of ground cinnamon, optional
- 1 pinch of mixed spice or cayenne pepper, optional
- 2 teaspoons (28 g) of honey or maple syrup, optional
Makes 1 cup (133 g) of Brazil nuts [Edit]Making Oven-Roasted Brazil Nuts - Preheat the oven to and spread Brazil nuts on a rimmed baking sheet. To make a big batch of toasted nuts, pour 3 cups (400 g) of shelled Brazil nuts onto a rimmed sheet.[1]
- Feel free to toast a smaller amount. If you'd like to roast even more Brazil nuts, divide the nuts between 2 baking sheets.
- Toss the nuts with oil, sweeteners, or spices, if you'd like. Although you can toast the nuts without anything else, drizzle them with of vegetable oil or melted butter for a richer flavor. To give the nuts a slightly sweet flavor, add (42 g) of honey or maple syrup. If you'd like a spicy taste, toss in 1 teaspoon (2 g) of ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of mixed spice or cayenne pepper.[2]
- Once you've mixed the nuts with any of the optional seasonings, arrange the nuts so they're in a single layer.
- Put the sheet in the oven and toast the nuts for 8 to 10 minutes. Nuts don't take very long to roast, so it's important to stir them every few minutes so they don't burn in spots. Toast the nuts until you can smell them and they turn light brown.[3]
- If you're not sure whether they're finished toasting, use tongs to remove a nut from the sheet. Carefully cut the nut in half to see if it's pale brown throughout. If it's not, toast the nuts for another minute and check them again.
- Transfer the roasted nuts to another sheet and cool them completely. Wear oven mitts to take the Brazil nuts out of the oven and immediately spoon them onto a clean rimmed baking sheet. Leave the nuts to cool before you store them or eat them.[4]
- If you leave the nuts on the hot baking sheet, they'll continue to cook from the residual heat. They'll also take longer to cool down.
- To store the Brazil nuts, put them in an airtight container. Keep them at room temperature for up to 1 week.
[Edit]Making Stovetop-Toasted Nuts - Pour 1 cup (133 g) of Brazil nuts into a dry skillet. Set a large skillet on the stove and spread the nuts into the pan. Arrange them so they're in a single layer to help them cook evenly.[5]
- Avoid tossing the nuts with oil or melted butter, since the nuts already contain oil and extra oil would cause the nuts to burn.
- Turn the burner to medium and begin shaking the skillet. Put on an oven mitt and hold the handle of the skillet. Gently shake the skillet back and forth so it's still coming into contact with the burner.[6]
- Shaking moves around all of the nuts at once, but if you prefer, you could stir them constantly with a spoon or spatula.
- Cook the nuts for 2 to 4 minutes. Since the Brazil nuts toast much faster on the stove than in the oven, don't walk away from the skillet. Keep shaking the pan and turn off the burner once the nuts smell fragrant and turn pale brown.[7]
- If you don't shake the pan or move the nuts, they'll burn or blister in spots.
- Transfer the nuts to a sheet and cool or season them. Carefully spoon the toasted nuts onto a rimmed baking sheet or plate. You can leave them to cool completely or toss the nuts with any of the following flavorings before they finish cooling:[8]
- of melted butter
- 2 teaspoons (28 g) of honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch of mixed spice or cayenne pepper.
[Edit]Microwaving Brazil Nuts - Put 1 cup (133 g) of nuts into a microwave-safe dish. Get out a shallow bowl or pie plate and spread the Brazil nuts so they're in a single layer. If you don't want to toast a full cup, it's fine to use less.[9]
- If you'd like to roast more nuts, microwave them in batches instead of all at once. If you crowd the dish, the nuts steam instead of toast.
- Toss the nuts with optional oil, butter, spices, or sweeteners. For a richer taste, mix of vegetable oil or melted butter with the nuts along with 2 teaspoons (28 g) of honey or maple syrup, if you'd like them sweet. To make spiced nuts, stir in 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of ground cinnamon and 1 pinch of mixed spice or cayenne pepper.[10]
- Microwave the nuts for 1 minute. Place the dish of Brazil nuts into the microwave and adjust the setting so it's at full power. Microwave the nuts for a full minute without stopping the machine or stirring the nuts.[11]
- Stir the nuts and microwave them in 30-second increments until they're pale brown. Carefully stir the hot nuts and spread them back into a single layer. Then, microwave them for another 30 seconds before stirring them again. Keep doing this until the nuts are fragrant and lightly brown.
- The total amount of time it takes to microwave the nuts depends on your appliance and the amount of nuts you're toasting.
- Remove the nuts and cool them in a separate dish. Put on oven mitts to remove the dish from the microwave and slowly pour the toasted nuts into another dish or rimmed baking sheet. Cool the nuts completely before you put them into an airtight container or begin eating them.
- To store the nuts, keep the airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Since Brazil nuts have such a mild flavor, it's fun to experiment with different flavor combinations. Add a squirt of your favorite hot sauce, spice mix, or sweetener before you toast the nuts.

| How to Make Cat Eyes With Eyeliner Posted: 23 Apr 2021 01:00 AM PDT Cat eyes give you a dramatic, glamorous look that's both classic and trendy. When you first start doing a cat eye, it's easy to smudge your eyeliner or make it uneven, but you can master the technique with practice. If you're ready to try out a cat eye, you have two options for drawing it on. You can use a makeup brush to help create an easy outline for your cat eye or use tape as a guide. For cat eyes, liquid eyeliner is queen, but you can try to layer pencil eyeliner if that's all you have. [Edit]Creating an Outline with a Makeup Brush - Apply neutral or light eyeshadow from your lash line up to your crease. Dip your brush into a neutral, nude, or light eyeshadow, then brush it across your lid, working from your lashline to the crease. The eyeshadow will prime your lid and allow for a smoother application of eyeliner. It will also give the eyeliner something to cling to, so it will stay put and won't smudge or rub off.[1]
- Because cat eyes are so dramatic, darker eyeshadow colors can look overdone. Instead, consider using a color that matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter.
- Don't use a cream eyeshadow. The eyeliner won't stick to it, and both the liner and eyeshadow could easily wipe off.[2]
- Angle a brush from your nose to your outer brow to find your end point. Hold a slim makeup brush against the side of your nose and angle it until it points to the end of your eyebrow—this is the line you want your wing to follow.[3] You want your wings to be as identical as possible—different lengths, widths, and angles will look off.[4]
- If your eyelids are hooded, make the angle less upward and more horizontally straight. This will extend your lash line and open up your eyes.[5]
- Use eyeliner to make a dot just above your crease to mark the tip of your wing. The higher you make your dot, the thicker and more dramatic your cat eye will be. Make sure the dots are at the same angle and height on both eyes before moving on.[6] It's much easier to erase a dot and move it than to erase an entire wing.
- If you aren't happy with the placement of your dot, use a cotton swab dipped in eye makeup remover, primer, or moisturizer to wipe it away. Then, lightly dab your foundation onto the clean spot and try again.
- Draw a line connecting the dot to the outer corner of your eye. Don't pull on your skin while drawing the wing. Instead, tilt your head back slightly and lower your gaze so that you can see your lash line. This will help you see what you're doing as you create your cat eyes.[7]
- Although pulling your skin taut may make it easier to draw your line, when you release the skin, your wing will change shape and it may look sloppy.
- Draw a line connecting the dot to the middle of your upper lash line. Gently pull your eyeliner from the corner of your eye to the middle of your lid. Position your line as high as you want your cat eye to go. It's okay if you have eyeshadow peeking out below the line, as you will fill it in later.[8]
- If you have a round eye, try a thicker wing and line. For instance, you might make your line about 2-3 mm thick.[9]
- If you want to extend your lash line and make your eyes look bigger, draw a curved line instead of a straight one. Make sure that the line is curving downwards.[10]
- Fill in the outline you have made, if necessary. Depending on how you angled your initial lines, and how thick you drew them, you may or may not need to fill the outline in. Use your eyeliner to fill in any areas where eyeshadow is peeking through.[11]
- If you drew your top line right at your lash line, then you may not need to add any filler.
- If you're using pencil eyeliner, make several layers to fill in your cat eye.
- Clean up any mistakes with a pointed cotton swab. The pointed tip will allow you to get into corners and clean along lines without accidentally smudging the eyeliner.[12] You can also dip the cotton swab in primer or eye cream and use that to gently remove any excess eyeliner.
- Avoid using makeup remover. It might do the job too well and remove any eyeshadow that you put on earlier.[13]
- Draw a line to connect the inner corner of your eye with your cat eye. Position your eyeliner at the corner of your eye, then slowly pull the liner toward the cat eye. Continue across your eye until you reach the outer corner of your lid. This will make the top of your cat eye look even.[14]
- Try your best to do this in a single, fluid motion. Otherwise, the line may look jerky and uneven.[15]
- Again, avoid pulling on your eyelid. Instead, tilt your head back slightly and lower your gaze so that you can see your lash line.
- You can try tightlining your eyelid, which means you get the liner between your lashes and up against your waterline, but this can be difficult to do and may irritate your eye.
- Thicken the line as it gets closer toward the outer corner of your eye. Try resting your pinkie on your cheekbone while you do this. It will stabilize your hand and make it easier to get a smooth, straight line instead of a shaky one.
- If you are using a felt-tip liner, hold it closer to the middle of the tube so you have more control.[16]
- Finish with mascara. First, apply 1 layer of mascara to your bottom lashes. Then, make several sweeps across your top lashes with your mascara wand.[17]
[Edit]Using Tape as a Guide - Sweep neutral or light eyeshadow from your lash line up to your crease. Use an eyeshadow brush to apply a neutral, nude, or light shade of eyeshadow across your entire lid. The powder will smooth out your lid and help the eyeliner go on smoother. Because cat eyes are so dramatic, consider using a color that matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter instead of a darker color, which can look overdone.
- Avoid using a cream-based eyeshadow. The eyeliner won't stick to that very well, so it could slide right off.
- Avoid putting on under-eye concealer just yet because the tape will take it off. Also, the tape may remove any eyeshadow in that area.[18]
- Take a short piece of clear tape and tap it onto your hand. Stick it to your hand and pull it up several times to remove some of the adhesive. This will make the tape less tacky and gentler on the delicate skin around your eye.[19]
- Tapping the tape on the back of your hand before applying it to your skin will also make it less likely to cause discomfort when you remove it.
- Position the tape along the outer corner of your eye. Place the tape just beneath your lower lashes, and angle the top towards your temple. Then, use the pad of your finger to lightly tap it down so that your eyeliner doesn't bleed under the tape.[20]
- For a more dramatic look, angle the tape towards the end of your eyebrow instead. This will result in a thicker line.
- If your eyelids are hooded, position the tape at less of an upward angle and closer to a horizontally straight line.[21]
- Draw a line from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner. Apply your liquid, felt tip, or gel eyeliner as you normally would, but make the line thicker as it goes towards the outer corner of your eye. However, don't draw past the corner or onto the tape just yet.[22]
- If you are having trouble applying the eyeliner smoothly, don't tug on the outer corner of your eye. Instead, tilt your head back slightly and lower your gaze to see your lash line. Alternatively, rest your pinkie finger against your cheek to steady your hand as you draw.
- When you're doing cat eyes, it's best to use liquid, felt tip, or gel eyeliner. If you only have pencil eyeliner, you can layer it to create a similar result, but it won't look as smooth.
- Use the tape as a guide to extend the line past the corner of your eye. Slowly pull your eyeliner across your skin just above the tape. As you reach the end of the tape, taper the line to a thin point. Follow the tape line as smoothly as possible, and don't worry if you get some eyeliner onto the tape.[23]
- You can make the "flick" of your cat eye as long or as short as you want. The longer it is, the more dramatic your cat eye will be. When you first start doing a cat eye, it's easiest to make a very short flick by extending your eyeliner slightly past your eye, over your crease.
- Remove the tape carefully and make any touch-ups, if necessary. Grasp the tape by the lower edge, then slowly and gently peel it off of your skin. When you pull the tape off, you will see a nice, crisp line.[24]
- If the tape removed any eyeshadow, carefully patch it up with more eyeshadow.
- If you usually apply any under eye concealer, you can do so now.
- If you used a pencil eyeliner, you may need to do several layers of eyeliner to get a cat eye look.
- Finish off with mascara or false lashes. Apply a few coats on your upper lashes and a single coat on your bottom lashes. For a more glamorous, evening look, curl your lashes or pop on a pair of false lashes.
- The thicker you make your wing, the more retro it will look.
- If you have not yet styled your hair, consider pinning it back. This will keep your face clear of any stray hairs. If you have already styled your hair, consider lightly clipping it back instead.
- Experiment with the length and the angle of the wing to figure out what looks best on you.
- If you're using a pencil liner, try to get it as sharp as possible. Also, you may need to layer it in order to get that dark look.
- If you struggle to apply liquid eyeliner, felt-tip and gel eyeliners are a great option. Felt tip eyeliners work just like a pen or marker, so they're easy to use and offer a great amount of control. Similarly, gel eyeliners are available in pencils, making them easy to use.
- If you're having troubles making a straight line, try using a credit card or business card. For a curved line, try using a spoon.[25]
