INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Think breezy and natural. The bohemian style is all about relaxation, so avoid your skintight shirts or body-hugging dresses. For women, look for billowing dresses and soft, flowing tops. If you can run through a field of flowers comfortably, it’s probably a great bohemian piece. For men, look for tunics, loose-fitting jackets and cardigans, and slouchy sweaters. If you do find a piece of clothing that feels bohemian but is a bit fitted, pair it with more gentle, loose-fitting clothing. When in doubt, go a size up. When it comes to the bohemian style, there is no such thing as too big, too long, or too billowy. To someone less fashion-forward than yourself, they may think your look is a bit “bag lady” or "hobo," but that’s what you’re going for.  Big, loose, draped, styles are key. Try a flowy dress over flared jeans, a tunic over pants and boots, or loose cardigan sweaters over anything. Don’t be afraid to mix bold colors and patterns, because this style is all about fun and vibrancy. Mix different textures to create interesting outfits, and don’t be afraid to put unexpected pieces together.

SUMMARY: Wear loose-fitting pieces. Buy things oversized. Layer, then layer some more.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Though it’s not strictly necessary, having at least a high school level of education will give you a leg up in qualifying for other education opportunities and securing jobs later on. After completing high school, you can begin working as a painter or looking into specific apprenticeship programs.  Successful painting contractors need to have a basic grasp of math, communications and other subjects that will help them calculate project costs and communicate effectively with clients. If you plan on working in an area where more than one language is commonly spoken, studying another language while you’re still in school may be a good use of your time. As of 2010, all painting contractors in the United States must be officially certified to work with lead-based paints. The purpose of the RRP program is to inform new contractors about the risks and proper safety procedures for working on properties that contain hazardous materials. Without your RRP certification, you won’t be able to begin working legally. These laws governing professional contractor work will be different depending on where you live. It’s important to be aware of these laws and what they mean from the outset. Contact the licensing board for your state or district to find out more about what you’ll need to do to get your business off the ground.  Visit www.contractors-license.org to review the laws and requirements for obtaining a contractor’s license in your state.  Basic licensing requirements typically include registration forms, a certification exam and payment of associated fees. If you’re eager to learn more about what goes into operating a private business, consider furthering your education on the college level. You can enroll in business courses at your local university or community college. Look through their catalog and sign up for classes that you think will translate to the daily demands of the job, like cost management, staffing and tax fundamentals.  Many states require that contractors take at least 16 hours of business-related classes before sitting for a contractor's exam. Online programs may be helpful for professionals who don’t have the time to attend classes in person.College experience can make a great thing to add to your list of qualifications.

SUMMARY: Earn your high school diploma or equivalency. Complete the EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) program. Research the licensing requirements for your area. Take classes on business administration.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The type of machine really matters in terms of protecting your sleeping bag:  If you choose to wash in a machine, it is recommended that a laundromat machine is probably better due to the larger space available, and look for a machine that does not have an agitator (front loader). This will keep the drawstrings and straps untangled and intact.  If you only have an agitator style washing machine, prefer the bath method; the agitator may destroy your sleeping bag. Use a gentle, cool cycle in a washing machine. Include a rinse cycle. Spin on low only, or use the "drip dry" cycle and follow steps outlined under drying. Follow the "Drying" steps.

SUMMARY: Select the right washing machine. Keep it cool. Rinse. Keep it easy. Dry.
