Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Glue rhinestones onto your flip-flops to make them look glamorous. Add glitter to your flip-flops for a sparkly look. Put a hair clip onto the straps of your flip-flops to personalize them. Glue artificial flowers to your flip-flops for a style that's perfect for spring. Glue ribbon onto the straps to change their color.

Answer: This is a great way to accessorize your flip-flops for special events, such as weddings and parties. Dab super glue onto the straps of your flip-flops and place the rhinestones on top. Leave the glue to dry for 15 minutes before you wear the shoes to give it time to harden. Consider gluing on multiple rhinestones of different colors and sizes in a pattern of your choice.  Beads, pearls, and sequins also make great decorations. Glue these on in the same way. Zig-zag patterns and color scale patterns look striking on flip-flops. Drizzle a thin layer of super glue on the areas that you want to look glittery. Then, sprinkle your favorite glitter over the glue. Wait 15 minutes for the glue to harden and then shake any excess glitter off the shoes.  Gold and silver glitter looks fantastic with all different colors of flip-flops. Sprinkle the glitter outside or over scrap paper to avoid making a mess inside. Choose a hair clip that snaps closed and clip it onto the strap of your flip-flops. Put as many clips on as you desire! Try your flip-flops on and, if necessary, adjust the positioning of the clips so they're more comfortable. This works best with small clips, as larger barrettes tend to dig into your feet.  Purchase hair clips from dollar stores or online. Consider using hair clips with flowers, animal figurines, or pom-poms on them. If your hair clip doesn’t have a clip, stick it on with superglue instead. Purchase some silk or plastic flower stems at a craft store. Take apart the flowers you intend to use by clipping off the stems and removing the plastic backing that attaches the flower to the stem. Then, dab a generous amount of super glue or very hot glue where the two straps of each flip-flop meet (the spot that goes between your big toe and the next toe.) Press each flower on and wait for it to dry before wearing.  To add some extra sparkle, remove the center of the flower and glue a rhinestone into the empty space before gluing the flower onto the flip-flop. You can even cover the entirety of the flip-flop straps with smaller artificial flowers, gluing them on as you would rhinestones or buttons. Place a small dab of super glue on the bottom side at the base of 1 of the straps. Stick the end of the ribbon onto the glue and then wrap the ribbon over the entire strap. When you wrap, overlap the ribbon to ensure that it covers the entire length of the straps. Once you reach the end of the straps, cut the ribbon and glue the end in place. Repeat the wrapping process on both straps.  Any type of ribbon will work for this activity. Use a full spool of ribbon to ensure that you have enough to wrap around both your straps, especially if you’re decorating adult-sized flip-flops. You can add a cute touch to these flip-flops by tying a bow with any leftover ribbon and gluing it to the point where the two straps meet (between your big toe and the next toe.)


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Rehydrate your hamster. Take your hamster to your veterinarian. Feed your hamster fresh produce.

Answer: Dehydration in hamsters is very serious, so you should not delay in getting your hamster to your veterinarian. However, if you cannot get him to the vet right away, start rehydrating him at home to get him on the road to recovery. You will administer fluids by mouth with a syringe, which is available at your local pharmacy.  Rehydration by mouth is recommended when the dehydration is caused by diarrhea.  The best type of rehydration fluid for your hamster is one that contains salts and sugars (e.g., Lectade, unflavored Pedialyte). Rehydration products are available at your local pharmacy and grocery store. Plain water is not recommended because it would dilute the already-reduced amount of minerals, salts, and sugars in your hamster’s body.  If you can’t go to the store, you can add a pinch of salt and sugar to plain water and give that to your hamster. However, it would be best to purchase a rehydration solution that already has the proper mix of salts and sugars. Draw up the fluid in the syringe (preferably a 10 milliliter syringe). Wrap your hamster snugly in a towel with one hand. With your other hand, place the syringe just inside his mouth on one side and empty the syringe’s contents drop by drop. Make sure that you give your hamster a chance to swallow the fluid in between drops. Never force fluid into your hamster because there is a risk that you will force fluid into his lungs, which is likely to be fatal. Your veterinarian will be able to give your hamster more advanced dehydration treatment. Other than commercially available rehydration products, your veterinarian will also have other fluids available, such as 0.9% saline or lactated ringers solution, to rehydrate your hamster.  Your veterinarian will assess how severe your hamster’s dehydration is before administering fluids. This will help him or her calculate how much fluid to administer to adequately rehydrate, but not  over  hydrate your hamster. Your veterinarian will probably try to give your hamster fluids by mouth first. If your hamster cannot drink on his own, your veterinarian will inject the fluids under your hamster’s skin (‘subcutaneous injection) using a sterile needle.  If an underlying health condition (e.g., Wet Tail, diabetes) has caused the dehydration, your veterinarian will treat that condition as well. Fresh produce with a high water content can also help your hamster if diarrhea is  not  the cause of his dehydration. Cucumber is a good vegetable that you can give him. Apples also have a high water content. Consult with your veterinarian before giving your hamster fresh produce to treat the dehydration—introducing fresh produce to your hamster’s diet too suddenly can give him diarrhea, which would make his dehydration worse.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Focus on what you have. Keep a gratitude journal. Be kind to yourself. Understand that you are in control of your life.

Answer:
Once you realize that comparing yourself to others doesn’t work in your favor, you’ll look for additional measures of your success.  If you start to feel and express gratitude for the gifts that you do have, you will shift your focus from others to yourself. Spend more of your time focusing on the positive and good in your life. You may find that you start noticing more of it when you're not busy comparing yourself to others. A gratitude journal is a way to remind yourself of what you have. This will help you look at things that you may have taken for granted. Then, you can give appreciation to them. Think about several of your best memories. They can be things you did, places you went, friends, you spent time with, whatever makes you most happy. Focus on being grateful for those things.  By keeping a gratitude journal you can increase your chances of success.  However, just going through the motions without motivation will work against you. You need to force yourself to look at things you may have taken for granted and give appreciation to them.  Make the decision to acknowledge the depth of your gratitude and enhance your life. Write in depth. Instead of just making a laundry list of things, give a thorough explanation of a few things that make you feel grateful. Write about surprises or unexpected events. This will give you a chance to savor the good feelings that you experienced. You don’t need to write every day. In fact, writing a couple of times a week might be more beneficial than writing every day. By being kinder and less harsh with yourself, you will encourage yourself to go the extra mile and to try harder. It is tough to resist comparing yourself to others. But you are ultimately in control of your life. You make choices to lead your life in a particular way. You make decisions that are best for you, not for anybody else. It doesn’t matter what other people do or have. You are the one that matters in the course of your life.
