In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A bokeh shot has 1 sharp, focused object in the foreground and a blurred background. A 50 mm lens is ideal for these.  Set the aperture to either f1.8 or f.2.8. Focus on the subject in the foreground. When you take the picture, the background will be blurred. The 50 mm lens is ideal for dark settings, but you still may need a flash sometimes. A flash diffuser will reduce the harshness of the flash and create softer light. A flash diffuser attaches over your flash or to an external flash. You can buy diffusers from any of the major camera manufacturers and at electronic stores. It may be tempting to always center the subject of your photograph, but off-center subjects work beautifully with a 50 mm lens. The lens will focus on the subject off to the side, creating an interesting effect.
Summary: Take a bokeh shot by lowering the aperture settings. Use a diffuser when you need flash in low-light conditions. Focus on a subject that is off-center.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The first step from detangling from a toxic person is admitting what the relationship is. Even if you've decided to ditch a toxic friend, you may still be hanging on to certain notions about your friendship. Be honest with yourself that the relationship is toxic and does not benefit you in any way. Not only will this help you abandoned a toxic friend, it will help you have higher standards in the future.  Think about what you get, if anything, out of the relationship. Chances are, you no longer have fun with this person. They are probably a drain on you. You probably feel exhausted after spending time with them. Accept you cannot make them change. Toxic people can sense when someone is pulling away, and will try to do things to get you back in their fold. Remind yourself that a toxic person is unlikely to change, even if they swear they will. This will prevent you from getting dragged back into the relationship. Mixed feelings are normal and to be expected, but that does not mean you should continue a toxic friendship. For example, you might truly admire or love your friend, and the your friend might have some admirable traits, but that doesn't mean that the friendship can't be toxic. It is okay to love a friend, but to still want to move forward. Breaking off any friendship is tough, and abandoning a toxic friend can be particularly rough. Your friend may try to deny wrongdoing or talk over you. Making a script ahead of time, and practicing, can help you stay calm and on track when confronting a toxic person.  Write down all your thoughts first. Then, look over what you've written. Try to pull out the most important thoughts and form a few clear sentences explaining why you're ending the relationship. Practice your script a few times. You can practice in front of a mirror or just recite the words to yourself. You do not want to be reading off the script when you confront the person, so try to have your words more or less memorized before confronting your friend. You want to make things clear when breaking off a toxic relationship. Toxic people can be very clingy and controlling and may not take no for an answer easily. Being as clear as possible can help you sever ties on no uncertain terms.  You don't have to be brutal. Even if this person has hurt you tremendously, being unnecessarily aggressive can escalate the situation into a fight. Try to be clear without being insulting. State your feelings, and your expectations from here, as firmly as you can. For example, "I feel like I'm not getting anything out of this relationship. I do care about you, but it's becoming too hard for me to maintain this relationship. I think it would be best if we go our separate ways." Decide where you want to go from here.  Make a list of your personal boundaries ahead of time, and make sure to make these clear to the friend. If you don't want them, say, contacting your further, make this clear. Never apologize for having boundaries. These are important to a healthy relationship dynamic.  State your boundaries as clear as you can. For example, "I want to let you know, I don't want contact for awhile. I need time and space to heal. I would like you to refrain from texting and calling me in the future." If you need to express boundaries to others, do so. For example, you may not want to see this person at group events. Let others know. For example, "As you know, I'm breaking off my friendship with Gillian. It's fine if you still hang out with her, but let me know ahead of time if she's going to be at a group event. I don't want to see her for a bit because I need the space."
Summary: Acknowledge the truth about the relationship. Form a script and practice it. Be as direct as possible. Make your boundaries clear.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The warm water will help relax your muscles, as you let your cares drift away. You can even add a bath bomb or two to help pamper your skin while you're soaking. Try lighting some candles in your bathroom to create a soothing ambiance. A face mask can be relaxing in and of itself, but it will also make your skin feel nice. The easiest solution is to use a store-bought version. However, you can also make a simple face mask at home with a few ingredients. Mash up a couple of strawberries. Add a dollop of both honey and plain yogurt. Mix the ingredients together, and apply it to your face. Wash it off after 15 minutes. For store-bought versions, follow the directions on the bottle for how long you should leave it on. This treatment can relax you just because it feels soothing on your head. In addition, it will also help moisturize and rejuvenate your hair. Afterwards, your hair will be silkier and shinier.  To create a hot oil treatment, simply pour a little olive oil in a small bowl, a couple of tablespoons or so. Add a dollop of coconut oil and a tablespoon or two of honey. Heat it up in the microwave for about 15 seconds, but don't let it overheat. Mix the ingredients together.  Use a pastry brush to apply the mixture to your hair from roots to tips. Tuck your hair into a shower cap, or wrap it in plastic wrap. Leave it on for several hours, if possible, then wash it out.  You don't need all three ingredients if you don't have them. You can just use one of the oils (without honey) if that's all you have. Sugar scrubs are easy to make with ingredients you have on hand. You use these scrubs to exfoliate your skin, sloughing off dry, dead skin cells. To make sugar scrub, just mix one part oil (such as coconut oil or olive oil) with two parts brown sugar (white will do in a pinch). You can also add in a scent with essential oils or even just a dash or two of cinnamon from your cupboard.  If you use coconut oil, heat it in the microwave for a minute or two to help it melt before adding the sugar. To use the scrub, simply rub it into your skin with your hands and then wash it off. Get a thick foot cream. Wet a towel, making sure to shake or wring out excess water. Microwave it for about 60 seconds. Once it's done, apply the cream to your feet, and wrap up your feet in the towel. Leave it on for about 15 minutes. Of course, one of the best things about going to the spa is ending up with pretty nails, which you can do at home. Just take some time at the end of the day to paint your nails and toenails. Don't forget to add a base coat and a top coat for a longer-lasting effect.
Summary:
Take a bath. Apply a face mask. Try a hot oil hair treatment. Make a sugar scrub. Try a foot treatment. Paint your nails.
