INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Choose a clean, thick sponge large enough to cover the area you want to apply a cold compress to. Opt for a sponge without an abrasive side for scrubbing. To cover a greater area, use a second sponge as well. Run the sponge under water until it is soaked through. Place the wet sponge (or sponges) in a freezer bag to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the freezer. Remove excess air from the freezer bag. Seal the bag tightly and place it in the freezer. Freeze the pack for several hours. The pack will be stiff when you first remove it from the freezer, so thaw it for a few minutes if you want it to be flexible when used. The sponge will soften gradually as you use it.

SUMMARY: Soak the sponge. Seal the pack. Freeze and use.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One way to add turmeric to your makeup is to add a little to your moisturizer before you apply your makeup. This is something that Thandie Newton does to add a yellow tone to her skin. Try adding a pinch of turmeric to your moisturizer before you apply it in the morning. Mix the turmeric in with your moisturizer in the palm of your hand and then apply it to your face. You can also try adding turmeric to your foundation. Pour a small amount of foundation into the palm of your hand and then a pinch of turmeric. Mix the turmeric and foundation together using your fingertips or a makeup brush. Apply the foundation as usual. If you want to create a yellow toned powder foundation, then try sprinkling some turmeric into your powder makeup. Use your powder brush to blend the powder with the turmeric. Apply your powder foundation as usual. Sometimes concealers can be too pink for your needs. If you want to add a yellow tone to your concealer, then sprinkle a little turmeric into your palm and mix in some concealer.  Mix the concealer and turmeric together until they are well-blended, then apply the concealer where you need it. This is also useful if you have dark circles under your eyes. The yellow tint will help to hide them.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start by using a scratch-free microfiber cloth for a general rub-down and preliminary cleaning. Wipe down the exterior of the case, and get rid of any easy-to-remove lint, dirt, and wax. You may use a little distilled water to help you along in your task; for more difficult grime, dampen the cloth using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. But only use a very small amount of liquid. Dry is best, if possible. Your AirPods and their storage case are not resistant to liquids, so be careful to not get any fluid in the charging ports, or on the AirPods themselves. A swab gives you pinpoint accuracy, and lets you muscle through the gunk. If necessary, dampen the swab with distilled water to loosen dirt and wax. If you have really difficult-to-remove, caked-on dirt to contend with, moistening the end of a swab with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol should do the trick.

SUMMARY: Give the case general cleaning. Dampen the cloth with a little liquid if necessary. Use cotton swabs to rub free any dirt or stains on the outside of the case.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: After you and your guy have had a chance to get to know each other better, let him know how you feel about it. You don’t have to be entirely blatant about it, but it’s a good idea to let a man know how you’re feeling if you want more than a friendship.  There are different ways to make him realize he’s special to you. For example, in groups, pay special attention to him or maintain steady eye contact. You can also ask him flirtatious questions such as “what qualities do you like in a woman.”  Men often aren’t very perceptive about a woman’s feelings for him, so clearly tell him how you feel. Don’t go over the top when you tell him or you might scare him away. Conversely, if you’re too subtle, he likely won’t get the hint. A gentle touch of the shoulder or grazing past his arm ignites a chemical reaction and it will immediately make your guy feel closer and more focused on you. Just remember to keep the touch light and appropriate. It’s important to keep your touch gentle and on appropriate parts of his body. Touch his hand, shoulder or leg. Likewise, lightly grazing past him and not rubbing your body up against his is appropriate. Meeting a guy’s friends is one of the best ways to help seal the deal with him. If his friend are impressed with you, then he will be even more impressed with you. Just as it’s important to be yourself around your guy, it’s also vital to be yourself around his friends. If they get a bad impression of you or think you’re a phony, it will likely harm the progress of your potential relationship. If your guy is celebrating his birthday or has an important project due at his job or school, for example, make sure to contact him to either wish a Happy Birthday or good luck with his work. He’ll find the fact that you remembered his special day a sign that you really care about him. This doesn’t have to be an elaborate gesture. You can send a text message or give him a quick call to wish him the best. As you get to know one another better and enjoy being together, spend more time with one another. If he sees you often, he’ll think about you more and likely want to pursue something more with you.

SUMMARY:
Let him know your feelings. Touch him or graze past him. Meet his friends and get them to like you. Follow up on important events and dates. Spend more time together.
