Article: When your friendship ends, it's important that you accept that and resolve your feelings. Write a letter to your friend expressing all of your feelings (you don’t have to send it to them), or create a ritual to symbolize the end of the friendship. To be happy, you will need to acknowledge your feelings, process them, and move on to the next stage of your life.  Write about how the friendship started off great, but then went downhill. Explain what ended the friendship, how it made you feel, and clearly state that it's over. For a ritual, take a meaningful item that your friend gave you and bury it, burn it, or throw it away. Start with small changes like eating well. Try to avoid venting your anger too much or too often. Do things that you enjoy doing, and allow yourself to do thoughtful things for someone else. This can be daunting, but you have to push through because happiness is largely in your control.  Go watch movies that you like, eat at your favorite restaurants, and try new things to see what makes you happiest. Don't be afraid to seek comfort in other people. Spend time with other friends or close family members. There are many reasons that you might end your friendship, but it is possible that your ex best friend will want to rekindle it later on. If you are caught off guard, you might regret the decision you make. Think about what you will say to your ex best friend if they ever mention being friends again.  Practice saying something like “I am flattered that you want to be my friend again, but I think it’s best we don’t go there,” in front of the mirror. Apply this to social media as well by declining any friend requests. You could send a private message with a similar statement.

Article: A viral cold, also called an upper respiratory infection, is a common cause for fever during pregnancy. Most of us have experienced a seasonal cold at some point in our lives but with a suppressed immune system during pregnancy, the risk of getting a cold is higher.  Symptoms are usually mild and include fever (100 F or higher), chills, runny nose, sore throat, muscle aches, and cough.  Unlike bacterial infections, viral illnesses cannot be treated with antibiotics and usually resolve after your own immune system fights off the virus. Drink plenty of fluids and try the normal home remedies mentioned in the first section to reduce fever and make yourself more comfortable.  If you do not feel better within 3-4 days or if your symptoms worsen, call your doctor or midwife. Similar to the common cold, the flu (influenza) is a viral illness that causes upper respiratory symptoms. However, the symptoms tend to be more severe compared with the cold.  Symptoms of the flu include chills, fever (100 F or above), fatigue, headache, runny nose, cough, muscle aches, vomiting, and nausea. If you believe you have the flu while pregnant, you need to seek medical attention immediately. There is no specific treatment for the flu besides treating the symptoms. Your doctor may recommend antiviral medication to lessen the time of the illness and reduce the risk of complications. Many pregnant women do need to be treated with Tamiflu or amantadine if they are diagnosed with the flu because some flu strains are more lethal to pregnant women than the general population. Stay home and get plenty of rest and fluids. Follow the steps in the first section to reduce fever and make yourself more comfortable. A possible cause for fever during pregnancy (and otherwise) is a UTI, which is a bacterial infection that affects your urinary tract system (the urethra, ureters, kidneys, and bladder).  UTI happens when bacteria gain access to your urinary tract and cause infection.  Symptoms of UTI include fever, urge to urinate, burning sensation when urinating, cloudy or red-brown-colored urine, and pelvic pain.  UTI can be effectively treated with certain antibiotics and thus, it is important you contact your doctor if you have any symptoms.  You may also want to try cranberry juice although this has not been scientifically proven to treat UTI.  If not treated, you can risk complications to yourself (kidney infection) or to your baby, including low birth weight, preterm delivery, sepsis, respiratory failure, and death. If your fever is associated with vomiting and diarrhea, you may suffer from a stomach flu (gastroenteritis), which is most often caused by a virus.  Symptoms of stomach flu include fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches, and headache.  There is no treatment for viral stomach flu but luckily majority of the cases resolve on their own. Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration and take steps to reduce fever. If you are unable to hold liquids down after 24 hours, become dehydrated, there is blood in your vomit, or if your fever is above 101 F, seek medical attention immediately. The main complication of stomach flu is dehydration. If you become severely dehydrated, you may have contractions or even go into preterm labor. Thus, it is essential that you contact your doctor or go to the hospital if you experience severe diarrhea and vomiting and cannot keep any liquids inside. Pregnant women with weakened immune system have higher risk of getting a bacterial infection called listeriosis.  This infection can be contracted from animals, food, or soil that are contaminated with the bacteria. Symptoms include fever, chills, shivering, muscle aches, diarrhea, and fatigue.  Listeriosis can be very dangerous to the baby and mother and if left untreated can cause miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth.  If you suspect listeriosis, contact your doctor immediately to receive antibiotic treatment.

Determine if you experience the symptoms of a common cold. Recognize the symptoms of the flu. Identify the symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI). Recognize the signs of gastrointestinal virus. Know the symptoms of listeriosis.
Article: You should wash your hair at least once a day if your hair is oily. You may need to wash more often if it stays oily. Washing more often will help cut down on the oil.  Some people claim this step is the opposite of what you should do. The argument is that the more you wash your hair, the more oil your scalp produces to make up for what the shampoo takes away. If you're not having luck with washing more often, you may try washing less, such as every 3 days. Lather up by rubbing shampoo into your hair, but also spend time rubbing it into your scalp. In addition, let it sit for 5 minutes, so the shampoo has a chance to work your hair, breaking down the oil.  Once 5 minutes is up, rinse out your shampoo. If you noticed your hair is oilier than normal, you can shampoo again right away, repeating the same process. In some cases, you may just want to skip conditioning altogether.  When you do apply it, don't put it on your scalp. Instead, stick to the tips, where your hair may be drier. Put some conditioner in your hand. Use your fingers to gently apply the conditioner just to the tips. Rinse it out when you're done. Brushing can transfer the oil from your scalp down into your hair. Of course, you must brush your hair sometimes. Make sure to stay away from your scalp as much as possible while you brush. Buildup of hair products, such as conditioners, gels, and hairspray, can lead to oilier hair. You may have a buildup of products on you hair and not even know it, but you can work to combat it.  Always rinse your hair twice to help combat buildup. You can also use baking soda. Simply pour a spoonful or two into you hand. Add a little water so you have something you can spread over your hair. Massage it into your hair and scalp, and then rinse it out after 15 minutes. Shampoo after you use baking soda.  Try a clarifying shampoo a couple of times a month, which is another way to reduce buildup. Touching your hair all the time just makes it greasier. You transfer oils from your hands to your hair, increasing the problem. If you can't keep your hands off of it when it's down, consider wearing an up-do more often.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Wash regularly. Shampoo correctly. Condition correctly. Don't brush as often. Remove buildup. Stop playing with it.
