INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You want a large envelope because your resume, or a cover letter, should not be bent or folded. These can be white, manila, or matching the paper your resume is on. It does not matter if the envelope does not match the paper your resume is on. As long as the envelope is clean and professional, that should be enough. Use a word processor or typewriter. Do not hand-write. A typed address is cleaner and easier to read, and also looks more professional. You can either print the address on a label, or directly on to the envelope.    Some word processing programs have specific formatting for printing envelopes. Using that will make sure your text appears in the right place on the envelope. If you have trouble printing on an envelope, it might be better to print on a label sheet, and stick that on the envelope. Clear labels can be a nice touch to make it look as though you printed directly on the envelope, but they are not necessary. Make sure the recipient's address is in the middle of the envelope, with your name and return address in the upper left-hand corner. Make sure you have typed everything correctly, without spelling errors and in the proper order. A mistake on the envelope can create a bad first impression, or worse, will prevent your resume from even arriving to the right place. You want to make a good impression and get the job, so you should print your envelope with the highest quality machine you can find. If your personal printer doesn't print envelopes, or can't handle high-quality resume paper envelopes, a printing service may be a better option.

SUMMARY: Purchase large envelopes. Type the address. Place the address correctly. Proofread. Print on a high quality printer.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Perimenopause doesn’t just bring on a greater lapse of time between periods—it can also make some periods lighter, others heavier, and even decrease the time between them. You are likely in the early stages of perimenopause if the length of your cycle is changed by about seven days.  If your periods have two months between them, this is an indication you are in the late stages of perimenopause, just before menopause. Menopause is complete when you haven’t had a period for 12 months. You may begin to notice the occurrence of hot flashes, or a sudden sensation of heat over your body that triggers sweating, increased heart rate, and skin redness, lasting one to five minutes. This is a normal part of the hormone changes leading up to menopause.  Hot flashes may end with a cold chill.  The intensity varies as much as the length, and can contribute to sleep discomfort. Also accompanying the changes in estrogen and progesterone hormone levels during perimenopause are mood swings, although these can also be due to lack of sleep caused by hot flashes. Women can become irritable or depressed. Mood swings can also be caused by or mid-life stressors like children leaving home, aging parents, and changes within marriage. More rarely, they can be caused by thyroid issues. Because estrogen levels drop during perimenopause, the lining of your vaginal tissues thin, leading to loss of lubrication. This can cause pain during sex. The same thinning of vaginal tissues that causes pain during intercourse can increase risk of vaginal infections, and lead to urinary tract infections. Loss of muscle tone in the vaginal area can also contribute to loss of bladder control. Night sweats occur during perimenopause, but they are nothing to be alarmed about. They are the nighttime version of hot flashes. Loss of sleep due to a hot flash can greatly contribute to the irritability a woman displays during perimenopause. Although the hormonal change of perimenopause may not directly cause an increase of anxiety, there are so many things occurring around a woman in perimenopause that anxiety can be a normal part of the process.  Hot flashes and night sweats cause sleep loss, leading to an increase in stress and a lowered ability to cope with it.  A vicious cycle of stress-symptoms-anxiety can be enacted during perimenopause, where your stress level causes your perimenopause symptoms to be worse, leading to anxiety.  You’re also at a time in life where a lot of changes occur, such as children leaving home and parents aging, increasing your anxiety levels. Some women experience an increase of headaches or migraines at the onset of perimenopause. If you notice more headaches than usual, or an increase in their intensity partnered with other perimenopause symptoms, you may be able to confirm that you are indeed experiencing perimenopause. Some of these symptoms can continue for several years after menopause.

SUMMARY: Notice irregularity in your periods. Expect hot flashes. Anticipate mood swings. Expect pain during intercourse. Watch for increased risk of urinary and vaginal infections. Expect night sweats. Notice an increase in anxiety. Anticipate an increase in headaches.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To do this, place both ingredients in the top of a melting pot or double broiler.  Beeswax is a great alternative to petroleum jelly if you want an all-natural product. An emollient, or moisturizer, beeswax will seal in the moisture in the lips and protect them from the elements. Beeswax is also good to use in making your own glossy lip balm because it adds stiffness and body to the product so that it can be easily applied, stored, and transported.  You can buy whole chunks of beeswax or, for greater ease, you can also purchase beeswax beads, which eliminate the need to grate the beeswax.  Carrier oils that work well in this recipe are sunflower, castor, or jojoba. Remove from heat once well combined. Whisk or mix thoroughly so that honey doesn't clump together. To make this gloss shinier and more fluid, use 2 teaspoons of wax and 8 teaspoons of carrier oil. Let it sit for 20 minutes before covering or moving.

SUMMARY:
Melt 3 teaspoons of grated beeswax and 5 teaspoons carrier oil over low heat. Stir to combine the wax and oil. Add in 1 teaspoon of honey. Pour the mixture into a clean container. Store at room temperature and use within 6 months of production.
