INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wearing a rich berry lipstick with heavy, matte foundation can give you a harsh, almost goth-like look. Instead, pair the lipstick with a sheer, dewy foundation that will keep your skin looking fresh. A tinted moisturizer or BB cream is a good option too. You can cover up any imperfections that show through your foundation with a concealer. Unless your skin is extremely oily, you may want to skip setting powder when you’re wearing berry lipstick. It can sometimes make your makeup look too heavy. When it comes to eye makeup, you don’t want to wear bold colors that will compete with your berry lipstick. Opt for neutral shadows in shades such as beige, gray, or brown. Pair the shadow with black or brown liner to keep the look natural.  To ensure that your eyes still look finished, apply 2 to 3 coats of mascara to really build up their volume and length. For a vintage vibe, use berry eyeliner to create a cat-eye look. A deep lip color like berry can often make you look washed out. To keep yourself from looking sickly, dust a blush in a shade that complements the lipstick over your cheeks. A neutral pink or rose shade will work with most berry tones. If you can’t seem to find a blush that works with your lip color, you can use the lipstick itself to double as a blush. Run your fingers over the lipstick bullet, and then blend the lipstick over your cheeks like a cream blush.

SUMMARY: Go light with your face makeup. Wear neutral eyeshadows. Add a complementary blush.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Look at the entire test. Decide how you will approach the questions. Think about how many minutes you will need for each section. Set a pace for yourself that gives you enough time to complete the questions, but that also ensures you will finish the test.  Start with the easiest sections. Not only will these be completed faster, but breezing through these can help build your confidence.  Answer the questions with the highest point values next. You want to make sure you give yourself enough time to finish those. For multiple choice questions, eliminate answers that are obviously wrong, and spend some time figuring out which others cannot be the correct answer. Then look for clues in the answers that make one of the remaining answers incorrect. If the question only needs one right answer, something about one of the choices will be wrong.  Don't be thrown by questions that include never, not, least, none, or except. These words can give you important insights into the answer, or help you eliminate wrong answers. If you're completely stumped and have to guess a 'true or false' answer, questions that have highly opinionated words such as "always" and "never" are usually false. You may want to formulate your own answer after reading the question but before you look at the choices. This can help prevent the answers from swaying you the wrong way. Essays require you to demonstrate your knowledge. Read the question carefully and underline key words, especially words like define, compare, or explain. Make an outline of the ideas you want to include in your answer. This way you won't forget anything as soon as you start writing. An outline also gives you a map to follow.  Answer the question directly by mentioning key words or the topic of the question. Give examples along with general information about the topic. Use any terms you have learned in the class. Write legibly. Your teacher can't mark something they can't read. If you have trouble writing neatly, try to improve your handwriting as much as you can before you take the test. Instead of wasting time stressing about questions you don't know how to answer, move ahead on the test. Circle the question and come back to it if you have time. Answer all the questions you know before you spend too much time trying to figure out answers to questions.  Look through the rest of the test for clues that might help you answer questions you don't know. Ask your teacher for clarification if you don't understand what a question is asking. When you finish your test, go back and review your answers. Reread and spend a few more moments on questions you were unsure about. Double check that you didn't skip any answers or misread questions. Trust your first instinct. Many times, your first instinct is the correct answer. But make sure you have made a reasoned decision for the answer, not just relied on your gut.

SUMMARY: Plan your time. Eliminate incorrect answers. Plan out essay answers. Skip questions you don't know. Review your answers.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: After you begin taking antibiotics, you will need to stay home for up to 48 hours to avoid spreading strep to someone else. A person is still infectious for the first 48 hours after beginning their course of antibiotics. Take care to avoid infectious contact with other people during this time. Do this after the first couple days of antibiotics, but before you finish your antibiotics. Otherwise, your old toothbrush could become a carrier and re-infect you once the antibiotics are done. When possible avoid contact with people with strep throat, especially during the contagious period (up to 48 hours after starting treatment). If a family member has strep throat, don't share glasses or utensils. Proper hand washing is the best way to prevent all kinds of infections. According to the CDC proper hand washing technique includes:  Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning to end twice. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.

SUMMARY: Stay at home for the first 24 to 48 hours. Throw away your toothbrush and get a new one. Avoid contact and don't share personal items. Wash your hands.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: No matter how upset you are, never involve your child in the animosity. Never assign fault to your ex for the separation. Speaking negatively about your ex will not only risk the child lashing out at them or you but will also cause the child serious tensions and a feeling of being torn between the two of you. If you learn that your ex is speaking negatively about you in front of the child, be the bigger person and don’t retaliate in kind. Explain to your child that your ex is under pressure from the separation and is doing their best to get through it. Almost as important as refraining from disparaging your ex is encouraging your child to see your ex in a positive light. Say nice things about your ex whenever possible to demonstrate to your child that the end of your romantic relationship has not ended your co-parenting relationship and respect for each other. Encourage your child to appreciate the skills and parenting effort of your ex by saying things like “Isn’t your father’s cooking great?” or “Your mother did a great job coaching your little league team.” It can be difficult to adjust to seeing your ex with a new relationship but you’ll have to accept that this person will be a significant part of your child’s life. Your child is likely to take cues from your perception so showing your animosity toward them could lead your child to disrespect and resent them. This will not only cause stress for your ex and their new relationship but also for your child.  Try to compliment the new relationship. Ask your child questions like “What is dad’s new girlfriend like?” and seem interested and impressed. Tell them explicitly that they need to respect the new relationship as an authority figure. Say something like “Remember, mom and her new husband are the adults of the house. Show them both the respect that you would show me.” If your child dislikes the new relationship, give them the chance to vent their frustration but encourage them to adapt to the new situation. Try to relate to them by saying something like “This is hard on me too.” Using them as a messenger will put your child in the middle of your conflict and force them to feel the tension of your relationship. Unfortunately, this is a common mistake for separated parents that don’t want to deal directly with each other, but you don't have to make it too.  Find more productive ways to communicate like email, phone, or even talking through lawyers.

SUMMARY:
Keep negative thought to yourself. Compliment your ex. Encourage your child to respect your new ex’s new relationship. Communicate directly with your ex.
