INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Turtlenecks frame your face, and you can make the most out of this effect by wearing long hair in a bun.  Opt for a sleek, smooth bun for dressier occasions. Try a messy bun for a more casual style. A thick, cable-knit turtleneck and a couple of days’ worth of beard growth gives off a rugged, casual vibe. A slightly disheveled beard is the masculine version of a messy bun, so don’t be afraid to rock the stubble! The focus is already around your neck, so you don’t want to wrap your scarf too tightly, but a loosely draped scarf can be the perfect accompaniment to a turtleneck sweater.  Tie a silk scarf around your neck when the weather is mild. Choose a heavy scarf for an extra layer of warmth in very cold weather. Pair a black-and-white striped turtleneck with a scarf for a Parisian look. Long necklaces have the effect of elongating your body. This is especially helpful if you have a round face and you’re concerned a turtleneck makes it look rounder. Since a turtleneck is already all about showing off your face, it’s the perfect time to show off a pair of dramatic statement earrings. Longer earrings look great when worn with a turtleneck sweater. If you don’t have your ears pierced, you can wear a fun pair of clip-on earrings. A crossbody bag helps break up the appearance of your sweater, which can have a flattering effect. For the best results, look for a bag with an embellished strap, like one made from chain. Brooches aren’t worn as commonly as they used to be, but they’re a pretty way to add sparkle to your look. If you have a brooch you never wear, try incorporating into your outfit the next time you wear a turtleneck.

SUMMARY: Wear your hair up if you have long hair. Wear a scruffy beard with your turtleneck if you have facial hair. Wear a scarf with your turtleneck. Choose a long necklace to wear with your turtleneck. Opt for statement earrings for a glamorous look. Toss on a cross-body bag for an easy, practical accessory. Pin a brooch to your turtleneck for a classic, elegant accessory.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Upper or middle back pain is often caused by poor posture. Try to stand or sit tall during the day, balancing your weight evenly and straightening your back. Avoid slumping or slouching to keep pressure off of your back. Tight hamstrings can contribute to lower back pain. Try stretching exercises on your hamstrings to alleviate your back pain and prevent future flares. Massages can soothe strained or sore muscles. If you're sleeping in the room with someone else, ask them for a massage to soothe your back. You can also massage your own back if you cannot get one from someone else. To massage yourself, knead the area of tension or pain in circular motions with your fingers or a massage roller. Although mild back pain can be treated at home, some symptoms may need clinical treatment. If your back pain doesn't go away after several days or is accompanied by numbness, tingling, wobbling legs, or incontinence, visit an urgent care clinic as soon as you can. These symptoms may indicate a nerve condition or other serious medical condition.

SUMMARY: Practice good posture during the day to ease upper back pain at night. Stretch your hamstrings to relieve lower back pain. Massage your back if your pain is caused by overworked muscles. Call your doctor in the morning if you're experiencing severe back pain.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In fact, it may be especially effective to give your lovers a few hurdles to overcome in order to achieve each other’s love.  This appeals to several different components of intrigue, as it provides a struggle to invest in both emotionally and in terms of plot suspense. For instance, “The man turned to beckon a servant. He dropped his rope, forgetting that it was wrapped around the pole and attached to the gangplank. Just then, a gust of wind pulled the boat from the dock. The rope unwound with incomprehensible speed, dropping the gangplank and a visibly displeased Lady Sarah into the bay.”

SUMMARY: Make hurdles comical, heart wrenching, or seemingly insurmountable.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Contrary to popular belief, fabric and furniture protectant sprays that are made for suede or leather aren’t always safe to use on velvet. Look for shoe or upholstery protectant sprays online or in general department stores. As you shop around, read the label to make sure that it’s suitable for velvet.  Look for a product that repels stains, waterproofs materials, or does both. Try products like Scotchgard or Vectra Furniture, Carpet and Fabric Protector Spray. Even if you find a product that you think won’t damage your velvet shoes, it’s best to try it out on a small, inconspicuous part of a shoe before spraying the whole thing. Spray just a little protectant onto the back of one of your shoes. Then, observe it to make sure that the spray doesn’t have a negative effect on your shoes, such as darkening the color or hardening the material. If you spray the protectant too close to the velvet, you may cause damage to your shoes. Hold it at least  6 inches (15 cm) away and then lightly mist the entire surface of each shoe. This may help to significantly minimize day-to-day staining and damage due to weather. Reapply the spray every 4-8 wears to get the best results. Set your misted shoes outside underneath a covering, such as a carport, for best results. This way, your shoes can dry thoroughly in the fresh air while being protected from the elements. Touch the velvet to make sure it’s totally dry before putting them on and wearing them out and about.

SUMMARY:
Select a product that’s safe for velvet. Spot test a small area first. Hold the spray 6 inches (15 cm) away from the shoes and spray them. Let the shoes air dry before you wear them.
