Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make your mixture. Melt the mixture in the microwave. Apply the mixture to your hair. Wrap your hair with a warm towel. Shampoo your hair. Repeat this process twice per month for best results.

Answer: Measure out 0.25 cups (60 mL) of olive oil and put into a microwave-safe bowl. Measure out  0.25 cups (60 mL) of honey and add to the olive oil in the bowl. Stir gently. Olive oil will give your hair natural shine as the honey conditions it. It needs to be heated so that when you stir the mixture, the oil and the honey mix into each other evenly rather than remain separated in the bowl. Once mixed, test the mixture with your finger to make sure it’s not too warm to use. If it is a little too warm, give it a moment to cool down before proceeding. Work with small sections at a time for even coverage. Take care to cover evenly from root to tip, concentrating on the ends. You want each strand coated, but not drenched in the mixture. After you've evenly applied the mixture, use a warm towel to wrap your hair. Make sure no strands are escaping the towel. If any drops of the mixture drip from beneath the towel, wipe them away avoiding the eyes and eye area. Keep your hair wrapped for 30 minutes. To warm the towel before use, try tossing it in your dryer for a few minutes. You want the towel to be warm and cozy, but not hot or uncomfortable. Shower and shampoo your hair as you normally would during your hair care routine using your moisture boosting shampoo. Make sure to clean your scalp and hair well but don't over-lather, as this will strip your hair of moisture. Take care to get all of the oil and honey completely rinsed from your hair. Rinse clean and towel dry until damp, then style your hair as usual. Regular use of this treatment will make your hair stronger and softer.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Deal with water runoff. Respond to drying lawns. Fight weeds. Fight insects and other pests. Prevent thatch buildup. Adjust soil pH and nutrients. Care for a diseased lawn. Reduce use of struggling lawns or lawns in winter.

Answer: If water runs off the lawn, you likely have clay soil or a steep slope. Give the lawn half as much water as usual, wait one hour for water to drain, then give it the other half. Stick to this system for all areas where runoff is an issue.  Heavy clay soils require even deeper and less frequent watering than a normal lawn. Aerating your lawn can help if your soil feels dense and compacted.. If your lawn wilts; turns a little grey, purple, or blue; or holds the impression of footprints, it's on the dry side. Increase the amount of water you give it each session. Dry lawns can also be caused by sandy soil, which drains too quickly for the lawn to absorb the water. Water sandy areas more often to make up for this, with less water per session. The best way to fight weeds is to maintain a good, thick and healthy turf with its own natural defenses. Most weeds can be treated with basic changes to your lawn care, such as a higher mowing height or a change in watering schedule. If weeds are still a problem, pull them by hand and seek advice from local gardeners and university extensions. Chemical herbicides should be a last resort due to the risks of pollution and damage to surrounding plants.  If you decide to use an herbicide, always follow the label instructions exactly. Following local advice tailored to specific weeds will give best results. When choosing an herbicide for an existing weed problem, choose a postemergence herbicide. Selective herbicides kill specific species, while nonspecific herbicides will kill your lawn as well and must be applied very precisely. If you use a lawn spreader or other equipment to spread herbicide, traces may remain on the equipment and spread to other areas of the garden. If lawn grubs, beetles, or other pests are eating your lawn, the best approach is usually a change to your lawn care. A local university extension can help you fight pests local to your area — and tell you which pests are actually harming your lawn. Pesticides and insecticides should be a last resort only, as they can kill beneficial soil microbes and earthworms. If you do decide to use them, follow label instructions exactly. Pesticides can also be dangerous for the person applying them. Wear protective equipment as instructed by the label. After application, wash your skin and clothing thoroughly before eating, drinking, or smoking. Thatch, the spongy layer of brown material atop the soil, can cause issues if allowed to grow past 0.5 inch (1.25cm) thick. Rent a thatch removal machine to break it apart, and leave the thatch to decompose on the lawn. Once the thatch is gone, topdress the lawn with a sprinkle of soil — but always use the same soil the lawn was planted in.  Remove the thatch in early fall or very early spring only. Do not remove thatch less than 0.5 inches (1.25 cm) thick. Thatch buildup can also be caused by poor drainage. Aerating the soil as described above can help. Contrary to popular belief, grass clippings do not contribute to thatch growth. In many areas, including most of the Eastern US and Midwest, soil is too acidic and needs a light annual sprinkling of pelletized calcium carbonate lime. For a more accurate approach, conduct a soil test and adjust pH until it is between 6.0 and 7.0. Your soil test kit may also indicate nutrient deficiencies, such as low phosphorus or iron, which can be adjusted with a different fertilizer or soil addition products.   Any time of year is fine for liming. If your soil is too alkaline, lower the pH with sulfur gardening products. The practices above all help your lawn resist disease. If you see discolored grass or other signs of disease, try to identify the specific disease and ask a local expert for advice on lawn diseases in your area. There are a couple steps you can take that will help fight most diseases:  Avoid excessive watering. The grass should never be soaked or swampy. Switch your watering schedule to after midnight or in the early morning. Water applied in the early evening does not go through evapotranspiration, and stands on the turf instead. This can promote fungus and diseases, such as red thread fungus in perennial rye. Shake off dew drops on the grass with a quick hose spray, or by dragging the hose over the top. Some "dew" is actually sugary water exuded by the plant, which microbes can feed on. Any time your lawn looks damaged, minimize the amount of foot and vehicle traffic until it returns to health. The same applies to lawns during frost, which are especially vulnerable.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try olive oil. Use honey. Apply coconut oil in place of a moisturizer.

Answer: Some people have luck with putting olive oil on their skin about 30 minutes before they hop in the shower. Shower as you normally would. After you shower, apply a thin layer of olive oil under your moisturizer. You can also use olive oil to create your own physical exfoliant. Mix one part of olive oil to one part of brown sugar. Scrub it in as you would other exfoliants, by going in circles all over your body. Jump in the shower to rinse it off. In a pan, melt one part beeswax. Mix it together with equal parts of olive oil and unprocessed honey. Once it's cool, rub it on your skin. After about 10 minutes, take a shower to rinse it off. After you get out of a shower, try using a thin layer of coconut oil. Rub it in as you would lotion. Continue to massage until it disappears.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be firm. Let the person down easy. Shake your head "no.

Answer:
You don't need to kiss anyone that you don't want to kiss. Don't be afraid to just say "no!" Be kind and respectful, but make sure not to let anyone take advantage of you. Advocate for yourself. Only kiss people that you truly want to kiss. You don't need to violently reject a person who just wants to kiss you. Try to put yourself in his/her shoes. Imagine the amount of courage that it takes to ask a person for a kiss! Look for a way to respectfully and tactfully decline.  Try saying, "I'm sorry, but I'm not romantically interested in you." Say, "I love our friendship, but I'm not ready to take it to the next level." Say, "Thank you, but no thank you," or "I'm flattered, but I'm not interested." " If you are out with your boyfriend or girlfriend and he/she makes a move to kiss you, don't pull away and scare them. Just shake your head. If you pull away, they may feel rejected. It may also be effective to just casually look the other direction or divert your attention from your partner for a few seconds. Smile after you say no so they don't feel rejected. If you don't smile, then they will probably assume that you don't like them. If you do like them, but you don't want to kiss them, then you need to explain why.
