INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If people think you're fake and only care about keeping up an image, they won't like you. It's okay to want to look good, because no matter what, people are going to judge you for it. But don't think you have to buy a certain style of clothing to be popular.

You'll need the currency to be able to buy the gear you need, in order to help boost your popularity. Don't be afraid to leave your comfort zone when searching for items to purchase. Decide what you want to buy, then save up for it (put it on your wishlist so you won't lose it!).

SUMMARY: Don't become a robot of yourself.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your first line of defense against troublesome body odor is a keen sense of smell. Take a whiff of potential problem areas, including your underarms, feet and genitals. While your own body odor is typically tough to distinguish, you may be able to pick up on it if it’s strong enough.  See if you can detect any salty, musty or pungent notes. The best time to do this is after the effects of bathing have worn off, since this is when odors will be most pronounced. Breathe out sharply through your mouth and into your cupped palm so that the gust is redirected to your nose. Smell your breath as it bounces back toward you. This can usually help clue you in as to whether your oral hygiene might be a source of unwanted body odor.  Perform routine breath checks between meals so that you can rule out a particular type of food as the cause.  Keep a pack of sugar-free chewing gum or mints handy to freshen bad breath. At the end of the day, dig through your discarded garments and put them through a smell test. As your body secretes sweat, dirt and natural oils, they can become absorbed into clothing fibers, causing them to stink. In this way, your clothing may be responsible for trapping body odor and making it worse.  Focus your attention on the underarms of your shirts and the crotch region of pants and underwear. Make sure the articles of clothing you check are work or casual items. Workout apparel is much more likely to smell already because of how much you sweat in it. The bulk of body odor is caused by perspiration, and the way your sweat smells can tell you a lot about what’s going on in your body. It’s not uncommon for body odor to seem worse in the summer months or after strenuous exercise. If you find that your sweat smells unusually strange or intense, however, it could be the result of some lifestyle change you’ve recently made.  You can get a better sense of how your perspiration smells by sniffing yourself in a place with poor ventilation, such as a closed shower stall or inside the neck of your shirt. New medications, natural hormonal changes, chronic stress and conditions like diabetes are all potential causes of stubborn body odor.

SUMMARY: Smell yourself. Check your breath. Give your clothes a sniff. Assess your sweat.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have feelings for a friend, you can start changing the relationship by taking the lead in changing your behavior. So don’t just wait around, expecting them to make the first move. Initiate a conversation or ask your friend on a date. If you want to transform your friendship into something more, you’ll have to take the lead on changing that relationship. In a healthy friendship, people demonstrate that they care about one another in a lot of different ways, but if you’re trying to move past friendship, you’ll have to demonstrate the fact that you’re feeling new feelings.  You can demonstrate your feelings by writing a note or a card, or buying your friend an unexpected gift with a note that says “this reminded me of you.” You can also just ask your friend what you can do to make them feel loved or appreciated. This indicates that you’re looking for ways to take the relationship to the next level without having to have a direct conversation. One of the easiest ways to change your behavior and demonstrate to your friend that you’d like something more is to flirt. Compliment their clothes, or their hair, or the way they do something – sing, speak, play an instrument. Tell them they look handsome or pretty. They should get the message pretty quickly that you’re interested in being more than friends.  You can say something like "I really love the way that shirt looks on you - it brings out the color of your beautiful eyes." You can also say something like "I could listen to you play guitar all day long. It melts my heart." If you want to change your behavior and change your relationship, you can’t rely on the same things you’ve always done together. Suggest a new restaurant – maybe something with candlelight! – or pick a new spot for drinks.  You can invite them to drinks by saying "There's a new bar downtown - it seems like a sort of romantic place. I know it's not what we usually do, but I thought we could change things up a bit." You can also invite them to do something you don't normally do, like going for a walk, by saying "I was wondering you wanted to go for a walk with me. It'll give us a chance to just talk and be alone."

SUMMARY: Take the lead. Demonstrate your feelings. Flirt. Do something new together.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dark colors tend to be the most figure flattering. If you go with a black or deep blue suit, it will create a solid silhouette. "Color blocking” suits that feature darker panels, or cut-outs, can also create a curvier or slimmer figure. Thin horizontal lines can create the illusion of an hourglass figure. Thin vertical lines are even better if you would like to appear taller and slimmer. While thick vertical lines are figure flattering, it’s best to avoid wide horizontal lines, as they can make your torso look wider, too.  Avoid wide vertical lines, as they will make your suit look like an athletic jersey. You can also mix-and-match swimsuit separates. Pairing a solid bottom with a striped top with enhance the look of your bust. Large geometric prints or big floral patterns are not as figure flattering. However, small prints or patterns will help to create a streamlined figure. Polka dots, for example, are a very flattering minimalist print. Ruching or fabric gathers on a suit can create the appearance of a slimmer waist, if the ruching appears on the middle torso of the suit. A swimsuit with all-over textured fabric layers can also draw attention away from your torso. These suits contain an extra inner liner that streamlines your silhouette. A suit with shapewear is also a good option if you want to be active in a suit, while also looking slim. You can expect to pay a bit more for suits that feature extra support features, such as shapewear. You can also purchase a suit with a strong underwire if you have a larger bust. You can even apply waterproof medical tape across their cleavage (hidden under the suit) to create additional lift.

SUMMARY:
Choose a good color. Go with flattering lines. Look for smaller prints. Look for ruching and texture. Choose a suit with shapewear.
