Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Read the label. Dilute peppermint oil with a carrier oil. Do a patch test. Notice potential reactions.

Answer: Peppermint oil may be too strong for you. Read the label of any peppermint oil you choose. This can alert you to contraindications and may prevent a bad reaction. Look for therapeutic grade peppermint oil with contraindications and other warnings. Reading the label of the essential oil closely. For example, you should see a warning about using peppermint oil if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Consider a different brand if you can’t find a label or the one you’ve chosen isn’t therapeutic grade. Peppermint essential oil is very strong and you should only sparingly use a “neat” or undiluted oil on your skin. Carrier oils decrease the strength of peppermint oil. They also moisturize your skin. Choose mild oils such as coconut, olive, avocado, and almond. Mix 7-15 drops of peppermint oil to each fluid once of carrier oil, depending on how strong you want the aroma. Avoid diluting your peppermint oil with water or other liquids. Since peppermint oil can be very strong, it’s important to ensure it doesn’t irritate your skin before you use it. Apply 1-2 drops on the inside of your elbow. Use the peppermint oil if you don’t notice any reactions after 24 hours. Peppermint oil is generally safe for use. This is especially true if you do a patch test. However, you may still have a bad reaction to peppermint oil. If you notice any of the following signs of an allergic reaction, seek prompt medical attention:  Redness or itching Hives Skin that is warm to the touch Blisters Scratchy throat Swelling Red eyes Trouble breathing

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare your baking sheet. Choose a soft brie and unwrap it. Pour the honey over the cheese. Consider adding some toppings. Bake the brie. Let cool for about 5 minutes, then serve immediately.

Answer: Open your oven and make sure that the baking rack is in the middle. Close your oven, turn it on, and set the temperature to 350°F (177°C). It will take 5 to 10 minutes for your oven to reach the right temperature. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of a baking sheet. If you do not have a baking sheet, you can use an oven-safe glass or ceramic dish instead. Make sure that the dish is large enough to fit your brie. Look for a younger cheese, or for something that says "double cream" on the label; avoid anything that says "triple cream," as it may end up too runny when baked. If your cheese came wrapped in paper or plastic, you will need to remove the wrapper and discard it. Leave the white rind on the cheese. Baked brie is usually eaten by cutting a bit off with a knife and spreading the softened cheese over a cracker. You can make a dip-able baked brie by cutting the top part of the rind off. Leave the sides and bottom of the rind intact; they will hold the cheese together while you bake it. You will need 2 to 3 tablespoons of honey. Make sure that it is the translucent, runny type. You can also cut the cheese in half, so that you end up with two thin circles. Spread your honey (and other ingredients if you wish) on top of the bottom circle. Then, place the top circle back down on it—just like making a sandwich. Instead of using honey, you can also use maple syrup, agave nectar, fruit jam, or fig spread. You can make your brie even more unique and flavorful by adding some toppings. If you cut your brie in half, you can place these toppings in between the two slices with the honey. Place the toppings over the honey. Here are some suggestions and combinations:  A few sprigs of fresh thyme and a handful of chopped walnuts. A few sprigs of fresh rosemary and a handful of chopped walnuts. Before you place the brie into the oven, add a few sprigs of thyme. After you take the brie out of the oven, top it with some quartered figs.  Substitute the honey for maple syrup instead, then add brown sugar, a handful of chopped pecans, and a handful of dried cranberries. Set the cheese on the baking sheet and place it into the oven. Let the cheese bake for 10 to 12  minutes. You will know when the brie is done if the cheese is soft to touch. Baked brie tastes best when it is served warm. If you only used honey on your brie while baking it, you can add some toppings—they just won't be warm. Popular toppings include fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme, crumbled walnuts or pecans, dried cranberries, or fruit jams. You can serve the baked brie with crackers or bread. For more serving suggestions, refer to the section in this article on serving the brie.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Tell jokes and smile a lot. Give sincere compliments to members in your group. Keep the focus on the members of the group. Nod, repeat words back, and use others' names frequently. Disagree politely, but don't tell others they are wrong. Stand out.

Answer:
Smiles are the universal sign of acceptance and tend to be contagious.  Joking is very important in social circles.  Smiling and laughing is a universal trait among all people, regardless of their interests.  Humor hasn't just been proven to make oneself feel good, it has also been shown to spark positive feelings in others.  People prefer others who make them feel good.  Using self-deprecating humor is a great way of showing others that you don't take yourself so seriously.  Say things like, "I'm so stupid, I tried to do my own hair this morning and I ended up looking like Cruella Deville."  Being able to laugh at yourself puts others at ease with themselves. Try to avoid humor that mocks or disparages others unless it is done in a playful atmosphere.  Playing "the dozens" with your friends can sometimes be a bonding experience so long as the focus is on humor and not on hurting feelings.  Avoid playing insult-based games with peers whom you are not very familiar with, as this can come off as plain rude and offensive. Saying flattering things to people tends to make them like you more.  Make sure that your compliments are genuine.  Saying random, insincere compliments can actually have an opposite effect and make people feel insulted.  For example, instead of saying something generic like, "Hey Deb, you're hair is so beautiful," try saying, "Hey Deb, I really love how soft and healthy your hair looks.  You have no split ends!" Avoid over-complimenting a person.  This is similar to being insincere in that it can make a person feel as though you are complimenting for shallow reasons. It's okay to talk about yourself once in a while, but for the most part, people love when others make them the center of attention.  This is different than putting people on the spot in public.  Don't randomly shine the spotlight on members of your group in front of others, as this could be embarrassing or insulting to quieter individuals.  Instead, shift discussion to the other person when talking or interacting exclusively. Saying empathetic statements is a good way to shift focus onto others.  Saying things like, "I understand how you feel," or "So you liked the concert last night?" are good conversation prompts to get others talking about themselves.  Pepper in some personal info and opinions in between empathetic statements.  This helps establish similarity and shows the other person you are actually listening. These are all reassuring behaviors that make others feel comfortable in your presence.  Nodding is another behavior that others tend to imitate.  Studies have shown that nodding while listening to something makes you more likely to agree with it.  If you nod while you talk to others, chances are they will nod back and agree with what you are saying. Repeat words back in paraphrases, not word-for-word.  Paraphrasing what others have just told you shows that you are actively listening to them, but repeating things word-for-word can come off like "parroting" and can insult the other person.  Names are central to our identity, and hearing our names makes us feel validated as people.  As a result, people are more likely to like you for saying their names. You will often have differing views on certain issues, but there are proper ways to convey your disagreement.  Saying someone is wrong is often unnecessary and can be deeply insulting.  Instead of saying "James, you are wrong for favoring capital punishment," ask "Why do you believe in capital punishment?"  Listen to what they have to say, then seek to understand why they feel that way.  Ask, "Why do you believe that?  Why do you feel it's right?"  Identify a common ground you share with them and then use that as a starting point to explain your position.  For example: "I hate crime too, and I think punishments are warranted, but..." This is known as the "Ransberger Pivot," and it works because it increases the chances of persuading others by sharing common ground first.  Instead of flat-out disagreeing, you can correct others without them losing face. Now that you have gained acceptance by your peers, define yourself in a way that is unique but still in line with your group's identity.  Just because you want to fit in doesn't mean you can't excel.  If you're the starting point guard on the junior varsity basketball team, wear your letterman jacket with pride.  People are drawn to others who are talented but humble.  Show pride but don't be cocky. Being different is just as natural as wanting to fit in.  Trying to satisfy one by ignoring the other will most likely have bad consequences, so find a good balance for yourself.  Embrace what makes you different as well as what makes you similar.
