INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While the celebrities might look great in their latest get-up, it’s not necessarily a look that will work for you. Remember the low-rise jean fad? If you had a body reminiscent of Christina Aguilera in the early 2000s, the trend may have worked for you. For most everyone though, it was rather unflattering. Give the fashion mags and blogs a break, and resist the urge to buy the latest trendy item if you don’t see yourself actually wearing it more than a couple times. Setting a limit to prohibit the purchase of too many non-basic items can help you avoid becoming a fashion victim. This will help you avoid being a fashion victim with the added benefit of saving you money. For example, you could set a maximum of $40 per month for the purchase of trendy items. You never want to copy someone’s look from head to toe without adding any of your own personal touches. Instead, let the trend inspire you to think of ways to incorporate it into your existing look. If camo print is trending, you wouldn’t want to dress head to toe in it. Instead, try incorporating a camo jacket with your favorite pair of black skinny jeans and neutral tank top. This is an easy way to take a piece of the latest trend and apply it to your individual style. Stick with trends that you feel good wearing and can be comfortable in.  We look best in clothing we feel confident in, so it is always important to make sure you feel comfortable in your clothing. Remember to dress how you want to feel. Some trends can actually cause damage to your body. Skinny jeans that are too tight can cut off circulation, and high heels worn too long, too often, or in inappropriate settings can cause damage to your feet. Only wear what is right for you, as any of these mistakes can quickly turn you into a fashion victim. Come spring, choker necklaces could be a trend long forgotten. If you want to be nice to your wallet and never fall victim to outdated fashion, focus on trends that you know never really go out of style.  For example, almost everyone looks good pairing blue jeans with a white top, and every woman can benefit from a properly fitting black dress for special occasions. These are two outfits you can count on to always be in style. You should also invest in a good neutral blazer in black, beige, gray, or brown. This piece pairs well with jeans or khakis, and adds a touch of professionalism and class to any outfit. A pair of comfortable black or nude pumps can be worn with just about anything and look amazing paired with jeans or flouncy skirts. Stylish bags, jewelry, and scarves are always an easy way to complete a timeless yet still trendy look (as well as to stick to your trend budget!).

SUMMARY: Resist blindly following trends. Set a trend spending limit. Let trends be an inspiration, not a fashion dictation. Follow trends that are comfortable for you. Invest in timeless classics.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Any branches that are discolored, bare, or limp need to be removed. Take the branch in 1 hand and use your other hand to cut it off at the base of the stem with your pruners. If the base of a stem is particularly thick or tough, try using larger shears or a small hacksaw. Wipe down the blade of your pruners with rubbing alcohol after you cut off a diseased branch. This will help prevent the disease from spreading to other branches. Some branches of the bush will most likely have grown quite a bit longer than the others. Use the pruners to trim these back significantly, so that they’re closer to the size of the adjacent branches. Once all the overly long branches have been trimmed, you should be able to see the natural shape of the plant more clearly. There will probably be some areas that look overcrowded with branches, especially near the bottom of the bush. By removing about one third of this wood, you’ll give your bush a cleaner look. This also makes room for new branches to grow in.
Summary: Cut off any damaged or dead branches. Shorten overly long branches. Remove one third of the old wood at the ground level.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wedge a pry bar underneath the rock and balance it on a wooden block to gain leverage. Pry the rock loose, and use a shovel to remove dirt and other debris out from under from the rock. Tie a rope around an old tire, looping the rope through the hole in the middle. Then, cover the tire with a large piece of fabric, like an old sheet. The fabric will prevent the rock from getting wedged in the tire. Roll or lift the rock onto the tire, using a pry bar or ratchet hoist if necessary. Put on thick gloves and grab onto the rope that is tied to the tire. Use the rope, drag the tire and the rock to the desired location. Then, roll or lift the rock off of the tire into the spot you want it. You can use a pry bar or ratchet hoist if needed.

SUMMARY:
Pry the rock loose, if necessary. Move the rock onto a tire with a rope tied around it. Pull the rope attached to the tire to drag the rock.
