Summarize the following:
Think about positive qualities and characteristics that you like about the person, such as humor, loyalty, compassion, or creativity. Think of specific examples because those examples will give you a glimpse into your future relationship.  Pay attention to whether or not the person is trustworthy. Notice if the person is happy for you when good things happen in your life. How the person interacts with other people and whether or not they are kind is important. Most people find this type of person attractive because if they are kind to others they will likely be kind to you. Examples of altruism is volunteering to help those less fortunate and being available to help friends. Participating in activities together will give you an opportunity to figure out whether or not you like the person and also what you like about them. Actively listen to the person and ask open-ended questions that require them to really open up and talk. For example, you can ask: “Tell me about your childhood and how you became the person you are today.” Participating in a stressful task together is known to build a bond. Consider organizing a volunteer project, or doing something new and exciting together, such as rock climbing or rafting. People who go through a stressful experience together tend to form stronger relationships, but if the event is too overwhelming it may have the opposite effect.

summary: Examine the person’s character. Think about the person’s altruism. Spend quality time together. Build a bond.

It's best to make sure that you are getting enough sleep (6-8 hours) each night. But sometimes you don't have an entire night to try to improve your skin. Still, resting can have immediate almost immediate effects. Try a quick cat nap. Odds are, if you feel refreshed, you'll look more refreshed. You don't have to purchase pricey skin-care products--just head to your kitchen! It is likely that you have several items in your refrigerator or pantry that can help you achieve gorgeous skin quickly. Try different ingredients and different combinations to see what works best. Some common foods that have major benefits for skin include fruits, vegetables, and oils.  Try a sugar scrub. Sugar is an excellent natural exfoliant, and can make your skin appear immediately brighter.Use both brown and white sugars mixed with water for best results. Grab a potato. Spuds can have amazing--and fast--benefits for your skin. Rub your face with the juice of a raw potato to help combat pigmentation issues. Make a mask. Try making a paste out of natural ingredients to leave on your skin for 10-15 minutes. Some great choices are honey and oatmeal. Homemade masks can make your skin glow! If a pimple is your problem, you can use a simple home remedy to decrease redness and puffiness in the area. Grab an aspirin and dissolve it in water. Put the resulting paste on your spot for a few minutes. After you rinse, you'll see that the redness has decreased.  Try an essential oil. These common oils are great to keep in your bathroom for quick skin fixes. Rub a little sandalwood oil on your face to help reduce redness and irritation. A breakout before a big event can definitely put a damper on your plans. If you have some angry-looking pimples, sometimes your best remedy is to do nothing. Avoid picking at spots before leaving the house. Sometimes touching (or popping, or squeezing) can irritate your skin so much that the area will look worse. Try giving yourself an at home facial. Simply boil some water and then put it in a bowl. Lean your face over the bowl for a few minutes (2-3). The steam can remove dirt and open up your pores. Your skin will look fresh, clean, and glowing! If you have access to a sauna (maybe at your gym, or if you are on vacation) you can use that to achieve the same effects. Just make sure not to stay in too long!

summary: Relax and rest. Raid your refrigerator. Search your medicine cabinet. Leave it alone. Steam it up.

Do not use a plastic comb or a comb with no handle. Your hot comb must be made of metal or ceramic so that it won’t melt, and it needs a heat-resistant handle so that you don’t burn your hand. Hot combs can be purchased at beauty supply stores or online. If you have a gas stove, hold the comb so that the teeth are just barely getting brushed by the top of the flames. For an electric stove, hold the teeth against the hot burner, and use medium to medium-high heat. After 30 seconds, test the comb before you use it by setting it on a white paper towel. If the towel turns brown, your comb is too hot and will damage your hair. Let it cool for a minute and test it again before using it in your hair. This test is very important, as your hair can burn or fall off if the comb is too hot. Remove the clip holding one of the bottom back sections of your hair. Give that section a quick comb-through with a normal plastic-tooth comb before using the hot metal comb. This prevents getting the hot comb stuck in your hair. Position the teeth of the comb on the hair near your roots. Do not allow the comb to actually touch your scalp, but get it as close as possible so you can straighten any new growth. Holding the section of hair out from your head with one hand, use the other to gently pull the comb all the way from the root through the ends of the hair in one quick motion. Avoid keeping the hot iron comb in one spot for too long, or you could scald your hair. If one pass-through didn’t get it straight enough, you can go over it again with the hot comb. But don't do this more than one additional time, or you risk burning your hair. One pass should be enough for fine or medium hair. Two passes may be necessary for coarse or thick hair. After running the comb through your hair a few times, it will begin to lose its heat. Hold it over the flame or on the burner again, but remember that it's already slightly hot so it won't take as long to warm back up. Remember to test the comb on a white paper towel each time you heat it up to make sure it isn't too hot for your hair. Continue hot combing, working your way from the nape of your neck to the top of your head. Work from back to front since the back is the hardest spot to reach, and having the rest of your hair in clips will make it easier to see what you're doing.
summary: Use a ceramic or metal comb with a heat-resistant handle. Hold the comb over a stove burner for 30 seconds. Test the comb on a white paper towel. Loosen a section of hair. Place the comb close to your scalp. Pull the comb down through your hair quickly. Repeat on the same section of hair if necessary. Reheat the comb periodically. Comb the rest of your hair.
