INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Insert the main focal flowers evenly around your wreath. Wind the stem into the wreath base, using the shortest stems at the top and bottom. The top flower will face forward and stick out about three inches, with each following flower tilting down slightly at an angle and lying closer to the wreath. The flowers and everything else that you place into the wreath should be inserted in a clockwise manner with the heads/faces of the flowers all facing the same direction as they go around. This will make your starting focal area be the top flower. Wrap the first 9 foot (2.7 m) section of ribbon loosely around your wreath, looped three times. Leave a long tail hanging on the front of the wreath. Attach it by securing it with pipe cleaners or light wire. Decide whether you want your bow to be on the very bottom of your wreath, or slightly to one side, about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of one of the sides.  This will become your new focal area. Make a large bow with the other 9 foot (2.7 m) piece of ribbon, leaving two 10 or 12 inch (25.4 or 30.5 cm) tails, and secure it with another pipe cleaner. Fluff the bow fully.

SUMMARY: Decide on your accent flowers. Insert all accent pieces going clockwise. Attach your ribbon. Position your bow.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Beagles come in different colors, with the two most common being tri-color (black, white and brown) and lemon (tan and white). A beagle’s coat is primarily white with varying combinations of brown, black, tan, and red. However, the coat may include other colors and patterns if the dog is not a purebred beagle. Like other dogs in the hound family, beagles have large, floppy ears that usually end below their faces. These distinctive ears tend to be wide and cover much of the dog’s head. If the dog has pointy ears that sit on the top of their head, it is not a beagle or, at the least, not a purebred beagle. Beagles have a medium-sized tail that stands up above their back. In addition, their tale has a distinctive a white tip, which is an indication of a purebred beagle, even if it is just a few hairs. English hunters bred the white tip to help them recognize their dogs as they moved through tall grasses looking for game. Beagles are lean and compact dogs breed for hunting small game. They measure between 13 to 16 inches (33 to 41 centimeters) at the shoulder. In addition to their small stature, beagles tend to be trim dogs, with a healthy dog weighing between 20 and 25 pounds (9 to 11 kg).

SUMMARY: Note the dog’s color. Check the dog's ears. Look at the tail. Notice the size of the dog.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many people who are experiencing PMS will have physical symptoms like abdominal cramps, nausea, fatigue, and constipation. You can help your partner deal with these symptoms by taking over some of their chores and responsibilities at home. Their PMS can make it more difficult to do yard work, lift heavy objects, or clean the house every day. You can support them by taking over these chores and giving them time to rest as they deal with their PMS. You may discuss taking over some of your partner's house chores to give her a few hours of downtime during the days before their period. Discussing this and agreeing to an arrangement where you take over some of the chores and responsibilities at home can show them you are trying to support them and consider their condition when they are  PMSing. If your partner is usually the one cooking meals and preparing meals for you and/or your family, pitch in and offer to take over the food duties while they are PMSing. The will likely appreciate the opportunity to not have to cook for the household while they are PMSing. You may create a meal plan and get enough groceries to feed the family while your partner waits for their period. This will give them a break and allow them to relax while they deal with their PMS. To help your partner deal with their PMS cramps, you can prepare foods that have been shown to ease cramps and abdominal pain. Salmon, celery, and fresh herbs like dill and parsley can all help to reduce inflammation. Dark chocolate (at least 70 percent cocoa) can help your partner relax and de-stress.  You should avoid preparing foods that contain dairy, as they can irritate your partner's stomach and cause cramping. Stick to foods low in processed sugar, as sugary foods can trigger cramps. Make sure your partner is drinking lots of water and prepare herbal teas to help relieve her cramping. Green tea and rosehip tea have both been shown to help ease abdominal pain. Avoid preparing coffee or food high in caffeine for your partner, as they can lead to higher levels of stress and anxiety. Your partner should also avoid alcohol when they are PMSing, as it can lead to stomach upset and cramps. PMS can be an uncomfortable experience for people, as their bodies are often sore, bloated, and overrun with hormones. You can make their PMS less uncomfortable by pampering them with a bath or a massage. Give them some attention and make them feel attractive and relaxed with some TLC.  You could plan a date night where you make dinner at home and give them a foot massage while they watch their favorite show. Or, you could give them some alone time to read alone or take a bath. You may also want to cut down on social events or avoid planning lots of socializing while your partner is PMSing, as they may not feel like going out. Consider their needs and check with them before you make joint plans with another couple or with friends, as you do not want to pressure them into going out if they are not in the mood. Though every person's body is different, many people can actually have a higher libido during PMS due to the rise in hormones in their bodies. They can often also experience more intense sex when they are PMSing. As a good partner, you should be willing to respond to their sexual needs and be attuned to their libido during PMS. You may want to have a conversation with your partner about their sexual needs during PMS. Maybe your partner is not at all interested in sex and would prefer being physically supported in other ways, or perhaps your partner has a higher libido during PMS and would like some more attention in the bedroom. Having this talk with your partner will show them you support them and are willing to respond to their needs as they deal with PMS.

SUMMARY: Take over their house chores and responsibilities. Offer to cook them meals. Prepare foods and beverages that help with cramps. Pamper them. Be attuned to their sexual needs.
