In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Place your tree upright in a tree stand that can hold about a gallon of water.  Avoid shaving the bark off of a tree trunk to get it to fit into a smaller tree stand opening. You want to leave on the outer layers of wood, which are the most efficient in taking up water.  Use a tree skirt to cover up the tree stand and create a visually appealing place to put presents. Just remember to lift the skirt up periodically to check and fill the water. Fill the water trough of your tree stand right away and keep it full at all times with clean, fresh water.  A good indication of how much water your tree needs is to measure the diameter of the trunk at its base. The number of inches is the same number of quarts that should be available to your tree in the tree stand.  If your tree doesn’t get enough water after being cut, it will form a seal of sap over the cut end, which you will need to cut off to allow it to absorb more water. Try to place your tree in water as soon as possible after it is cut. Despite some common theories, adding sugary drinks or any other substance to the water in the tree stand does not help the tree to maintain its freshness. Always fill with clean, pure water. Choose a location to display your tree that is close to a wall outlet so that you can easily plug in a string of lights. Keep it away from fireplaces or other areas of high heat to avoid a fire hazard and premature drying.  You can also lower the temperature of the room that the tree is in to help keep it from drying out as quickly. The branches will dry more and the water will be taken up and evaporate quicker in high heat.  If you can’t place a tree near a power outlet, try using an extension cord with a power strip. This will also act as a safety and convenience feature, as you can easily turn off Christmas tree lights once you’ve put them on the tree by using the on/off switch on the power strip.
Summary: Stand your tree in a tree stand. Keep your tree stand full of water. Place the tree near an outlet and away from heat.

Exfoliate your lips. You can use a lip scrub to do this. Basically, you are removing the skin that makes your lips rough and chapped.  You can use a store-bought lip scrub or make your own. To make your own lip scrub, mix a tablespoon of brown sugar with just enough honey or olive oil to get it to stick together. Once a week (twice at the very max) rub the scrub onto your lips, vigorously enough to loosen the dead skin. Let it sit for one minute, and then wipe off with a damp washcloth. Take a clean toothbrush and brush the flat part of the bristles back and forth on the lips, much as you would brush your teeth.  Do this for 30 or so seconds per lip, and stop if they start to hurt. Flaky lips are dry lips. The “flakiness” is dead skin. It needs to be exfoliated off. Rinse your brush and your lips with water. You could also use a washcloth to exfoliate lips. Using small crystallized sugar molecules, you can softly scrub away the dry flaky skin around and on your lips.  Apply like a facial scrub and enjoy the immediate removal of any dead skin on your lips. Be careful not to eat or swallow the mixture because petroleum jelly is not edible.

One-sentence summary -- Scrub off the dead skin before apply petroleum jelly. Use a toothbrush to exfoliate your lips. Mix sugar with petroleum jelly.

Q: for the life you want. Cut out words and pictures from a magazine, print out images, or use photographs to create a collage of what you want. Hang your collage in your living space where you can see it every day. Then, look to your vision board for daily inspiration to work toward your goal.  For example, you might include photos of a house you like, the car you want, the job title you want, and a couple in love. Remember, a vision board is not a magic wand. To get what you want, you’ll need to do something to get it. Start by setting a goal to spend 15 minutes a day pursuing your goal. Then, work your way up from there. To keep track of your progress, make a list of small steps you need to take toward your goal, then check them off when you do them. These small actions will help you produce big results! Set expectations for yourself, and acknowledge when you don’t meet them. Then, examine why you struggled to keep up with your expectations and decide if changes need to be made. Similarly, reward yourself for the hard work you put into your goals. For example, let’s say you made a goal to spend an hour working toward your goal every day, but you only followed through on the first day. Accept that you didn’t do the work, but also consider if you need to scale back. Maybe try 15 minutes a day to see if you can meet that goal. This is the only way for them to know what you expect from them. No one can read your mind, so you have to tell people what you’re thinking. Be direct and honest about what you need and want, and you might just get it.  Let’s say you want to hang out with your friend. Instead of saying, “I wish I had plans this weekend,” say, “Hey, do you want to see a movie on Friday night?” If you need your roommate to help out more around your home, don’t say, “I wish this place were cleaner.” Say, “Could you put your dirty clothes in the hamper and keep your personal belongings out of the common area?” It’s normal to have negative thoughts about yourself, but this can hold you back. When you catch yourself thinking negatively, question that thought and replace it with a positive thought. Additionally, repeat your favorite positive mantra to yourself throughout the day to keep yourself on track.  Let’s say you catch yourself thinking, “I’ll never be that good at public speaking.” Question this thought by pointing out that everyone starts somewhere and practice brings improvement. Then, tell yourself, “I am improving at public speaking every time I do it.” Throughout your day, repeat a positive mantra to yourself, such as, “I’m living my dreams,” “I’m a success,” or “I radiate joy.”
A: Create a vision board Do one small task every day to work toward your goal. Hold yourself accountable for the work you put into your goals. Ask for the things you need and want from others. Use positive self-talk to motivate yourself to take action.

Problem: Article: After you have finished setting up your stacks, you can place the cards that you have left just above the Tableau on the left-hand side. This will be your “Stock” or “Hand” pile. You will draw cards from this pile as you play the game. If you want to be extra sure that the cards are shuffled, then you can shuffle them again before placing your Stock pile. This is optional though. The discard pile, also known as the “Talon” or “Waste” pile, is where you will discard any cards that you draw and cannot use. At the start of your game, the Talon pile will be empty. Reserve a space next to your Stock pile to create your Talon pile during gameplay.  The Talon pile is usually just to the right of the Stock pile. When you have exhausted your Talon pile, you can flip it over (face down) onto the Stock pile space again and continue playing. The Foundation piles are where you will place the cards that you will clear from the Tableau stacks as you play solitaire. At the start of your game, your Foundation piles will be empty, so you just need to reserve some space above your Tableau. Leave enough room to place four stacks of cards as you play.
Summary:
Place the remaining cards face down. Identify the space for your discard pile. Leave room for your Foundation piles.
