Im just going to the bathroom to 'powder my nose'

Make an example using the idiom 'powder your nose'. 

Hi 

It's a polite or humorous way of saying that you are going to go to the toilet

Best Regards 

"My God! How long does it take for all of you to powder your noses?"

"Excuse me for a moment, I need to powder my nose before we head out to dinner."

Would you get me another drink while I go and powder my nose?🌍👌

Hi!! I'm a 21-year-old girl from Kandy, a city in Sri Lanka. I'm doing BSc (Hons) in Data Science in the top private university of Sri Lanka. My first language at school since I was 5 years old was English. My favorite subjects at school were English, Mathematics, Science and History. I don't have a whole list of hobbies. Since I was small, I was too much into reading so my hobby since I was a kid until now is reading. But sometimes I like to do sketches too. But that totally depends on my mood.
Along with those I do have a flair for learning new languages. I know to speak Hindi in basic level, and I know some phrases and words in Italian and Finnish. As I am a Sri Lankan, I'm eloquent in Sinhala and Tamil too.

Intro RifkaHallaj-151552

Shazra Hallaj

I love teaching since I was in my secondary school because I always use to teach my classmates when they find any issues regarding my list of favorite subjects. Then, when I was in high school, I started teaching to a Finnish boy for whom I conducted virtual classes on weekends on English, Mathematics and Science. Other than him I’m also tutoring  English Language for some students of my home country too. Then after my high school I started doing private virtual classes. And now I would love to explore globally with this skill of mine!

I always do my best when it comes to the lessons of my students. I would never lag on my sessions, and I will definitely make sure to make the sessions as fun as possible so that the students wouldn't feel like, "learning the language is a burden". The first thing is, I would talk with my students before starting the session. I do this to understand on which level of English language my students are, and then I will focus on doing activities to increase that level. This will bring confidence in the individual to face the language and communicate in it. As communication is the main key to tackle any language, I always make sure that my students communicate with me and I will prepare special activities to aid and encourage them communicate or write in English, both in the formal and informal ways.
I mainly focus on the communicational skills and the grammar of my students so that they can talk freely in English after several sessions, and I focus on their English writing skills as well.
