Problem: Article: Use as many drops as you like of lavender essential oil in water. Lavender provides a scent that is very calming to many people, making this spray a great one to use before bed.  Witch hazel or aloe vera are great additions to this spray. Just fill your spray bottle about ¾ of the way with water, then add your lavender essential oil and top off the rest of the bottle with witch hazel or aloe vera.  Both lavender and witch hazel may have slightly astringent properties, making this spray great for those who have very oily skin or acne. Use rosewater as a popular soothing spray with a wonderful scent. Dilute 3 parts rosewater with 1 part water, or use only the rosewater if you like a stronger scent.  Rosewater can be hydrating for the skin, as well as providing anti-inflammatory properties, so this spray could be great for use on redness or other mild skin irritation. Try adding a few drops of essential oil like evening primrose or ylang ylang for some additional moisturizing and scent. Rosewater can be found in health food stores, or in Asian or Middle Eastern sections of grocery stores. You can even make your own by letting the petals of fresh roses simmer in water on low heat for 30 minutes. Create a spray by brewing ½ cup of green tea and adding 4 drops of tea tree oil, or to preference. This makes a great spray that may help with acne, as these ingredients may contribute to clearing and soothing skin.  Let loose leaf green tea or a tea bag steep in boiling water for about 5 minutes. After steeping, let it cool in the refrigerator before use. Green tea may be useful in the treatment of acne. Tea tree oil is a known antibacterial and antifungal, so it may help soothe mild skin irritation and acne.  You can also consider including witch hazel and neroli essential oil, which both have properties that may also help in the treatment of acne.
Summary: Create a soothing lavender spray. Try a spray with rosewater. Use green tea and tea tree oil.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It is important to have a single, large diaper bag that can hold everything for both of the twins instead of carrying separate bags for each. Having a single bag for both babies will make life easier and reduce your chances of forgetting something important. You already have two children to keep track of, why make it harder with two diaper bags to keep track of as well?   The set-up of the diaper bag is more of a personal choice. Some parents like to have diaper bags with lots of separate compartments for things like wipes or bottles, while other parents are content with something that has one large compartment and maybe a pocket or two. The diaper bag needs strong handles or straps that can support the weight of its contents. The handles or straps also need to be padded so they are comfortable when the parent has to carry it for an extended period of time. Usually parents have a general idea of how often their babies will need to have a fresh diaper and they can use this information to calculate how many diapers to take on an outing.  However, the babies might have off days, and use fewer or more diapers than expected.  A good general rule to follow is to pack one diaper per child, for every hour of the outing, plus a few extras just in case. Make sure to replace the diapers after each outing, so you have the same number of diapers each time. There's nothing worse than a diaper bag with no diapers! Even though you have two babies, you only need to include one large packet of wipes. This ensures that the wipes do not become dried out before you get to the end of the packet. Something that many parents forget to include in their diaper bags is plastic bags. These have many uses, including:  To store dirty diapers if you have nowhere to dispose of them at the moment. To hold any dirty clothes and keep them separate from everything else until they can be properly taken care of at home. To store any sterilized items like spoons or bowls. Keep approximately ten plastic zip bags in the diaper bag at any given time. Carrying a small first aid kit that contains a few essentials (for both parent and babies) is always a good idea.  Include the most necessary first aid items, such as adhesive bandages, children's painkillers like Tylenol or Advil and anti-rash cream. You should also keep a small scissors in the first aid kit - this can come in useful when you least expect it!

SUMMARY: Choose the right diaper bag. Pack a large supply of diapers. Include one large packet of wipes. Consider packing some plastic zip bags. Carry a first aid kit in the diaper bag.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: “Showing your work” is usually required on written math tests. Writing out each step when solving a problem is also a way to help you understand each part of the process required. Writing out steps is a good habit to pick up and maintain. Also, when you’re doing practice problems or taking notes, write out each step. You’ll be glad you did when it comes time for applying steps on the test! Give problem sets careful attention, and do more for practice, if you need it. Even when you’ve found the solution to a math problem, you may not be finished. Take the solution and plug it back into the original problem to see if it’s the correct answer. Word problems are applied math, where you’re given a situation and have to find the right way to solve an associated problem. Since you have to both understand the situation and the necessary math concepts, this type of problem can be especially tricky.  Read through the entire problem before you begin to solve it. Make sure you understand the situation and what math techniques you’ll need to use. Some problems may have associated graphs, charts, or tables. Make sure to read those carefully, too. Select the numbers you’ll need to use to solve the problem. Keep in mind that some word problems might have unneeded details designed to make you use your understanding of what you need to solve it. After you’ve solved the problem, make sure to check your work steps and see whether your answer makes sense in its size and is in the correct units, etc. Your teacher assigns a certain number of problems for homework, but if you don’t feel like you fully understand, you might need to study more problems. Look for extra practice sets in your textbook or online, and try some of those until you feel more confident.  Often times, the answers to all the odd-numbered problems are in the back of the book.  Do the odd-numbered problem, check your answer, and, once you're confident you know how to do it, then do the even-numbered problem next to it. If you’re anxious about taking an exam, do one or more practice ones ahead of time. Try to recreate the test environment--keep your study room quiet, and avoid interruptions. Check your work after taking the practice test, and study more if you need it. Ask your teacher if there are practice versions of tests you can use for study.
Summary:
Write out complete solutions, even for practice and homework. Check your work once you’re finished. Give word problems extra attention. Do your homework, then do more for practice. Try a practice test. Take advantage of extra help from a teacher or tutor, if you can.
