In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One quick and easy way to stir things up is to change the way you dress. This can include items you wear during the day to work or out to social activities, as well as what you wear in the bedroom or to sleep at night. Wear clothes that energize you and that you feel attractive in. Also choose clothes that you know your partner likes.  Buy new lingerie that makes you feel attractive and pampered. Surprise your partner by being skimpily dressed or naked when they return from work or get out the shower. If you are used to wearing more baggy clothes, try something a little more form-fitting so your partner can enjoy getting to see your shape. In the beginning of your relationship, you may have tried setting the stage for romance. Get back to that excited feeling you had while dating and create a romantic atmosphere for you and your partner. Putting in the effort will show your partner you are committed to increasing the intimacy and reconnecting. Try the following to add a little more romance into your time together.   Have soft, warm, and low light by dimming lamps or using candles. Play slow, romantic, or sexy music to set the mood. Stimulate the sense with scented candles, perfume, or room scents. Changing up your routine and doing things together allows you to step out of your comfort zone, adds excitement, and increases intimacy in your relationship. Try something altogether new, or take a normal task that you would typically do alone and complete it together.    Shower together and apply soap or shampoo for each other. If you are feeling bold, have sex in the shower together. Exercise together. Exercise is beneficial not only to your health, but will also increase blood flow and flexibility in both you and your partner.  Get competitive with an activity like tennis, rock climbing, or even with games at an arcade. If you or your partner travel frequently or are often spending time apart, trying some of the other suggestions may be difficult. Instead try and explore any connections you have available, such as phone sex. Phone sex can be challenging, but it can also increase your communication and connection with your partner. It can additionally provide you with the opportunity to talk about fantasies or things you might be nervous about trying in person. Try the following.  Start by talking to your partner over the phone about routine activities, while he/she is at work or away from home. Do this in small bits through the course of the day. Occasionally, add in some hints about how you are dressed at the moment or what thought just crossed your mind about your partner. Have longer conversations about fantasies that you have with your partner. Read erotica out loud together. Another suggestion to being spontaneous and trying something new can be to add food into your sex life. It sounds messy, but using food can be very arousing for you and your partner. Consider foods that are aphrodisiacs, or foods that cause an arousing physiological response, such as dark chocolate. Think of new and interesting ways to incorporate food into your time with your partner.     Bring their favorite dessert and feed it to them. Try strawberries, cream, and champagne for a pampered luxurious vibe. Purchase and use edible body paint. Try to make sex a different experience every time you have it by trying role play. Role play  is simply, the act of taking on a role, pretending to be other people, or pretending to be somewhere you are not. Role play gives you the opportunity to bring excitement into your relationship, try things you haven't before, and a freedom to get a little wild if you want.  Pretend to be a masseuse and client. Act like you do not know each other and are meeting for the first time for your client's massage appointment. Try being a magician's assistant. It might involve blindfolds, handcuffs, or scarves. Discover power play. Start with little playful fights while in bed, ending in you overpowering your partner or vice versa. If you are comfortable, try giving one partner total control. Agree on sessions where, during an agreed upon amount of time, you or your partner gets to be "spoiled," or ask for whatever they want, within both of your comfort zones.
Summary: Dress differently. Create a romantic atmosphere. Do activities together. Try phone sex. Add food. Role play.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pour the three cups of water into a small pot, and bring to a boil. You may also boil the water in the microwave if desired. Stir the oats with a wooden spoon. Start checking for doneness at about the 20-minute mark. For chewier oats, cook less. For more done oats, cook more.  Do not stir the oats as they simmer. Allow them to rest in place as the water cooks them. Turn the heat lower if the oats seem to be drying out too quickly. Stir the mixture well using a wooden spoon. Let the oatmeal simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon into bowls for serving. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, maple syrup, or fruit.
Summary: Boil the water. Add the steel-cut oats to the pot, along with a pinch of salt, and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook uncovered for about 20 to 30 minutes. Add the milk to the oats. Remove the oatmeal from heat.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Author's names are listed in Chicago Style citations with their last name first, followed by their first name. If there are multiple authors, you reverse the order of the first author's name, listing the rest with their first names first.  For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent." Use "and" rather than an ampersand. If you're creating footnotes, you don't reverse the orders of any names. For example: "Lois Lane and Clark Kent." Don't include a comma before the "and" unless you've reversed the first name. The next information in a Chicago-style citation is the italicized title of the book. Generally, you should capitalize all nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives. Don't capitalize articles, prepositions, or short words such as to or as unless they're the first word in the title.  For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. Superhuman Powers in Global History." If there is both an author and an editor, list the editor's name after the title. For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. Superhuman Powers in Global History, ed. Stan Lee." In footnotes, the authors' names are followed by a comma instead of a period. The book's title is still italicized. The next part of a Chicago-style citation provides the city where the book was published, the name of the publisher, and the year it was published. There is no need to include a state or country along with the city.  For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. Superhuman Powers in Global History. New York: Penguin, 2007." In footnotes, you would put the publication information in parentheses. For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. Superhuman Powers in Global History (New York: Penguin, 2007)." If you only used a single chapter or section of the textbook for your paper, you can add the chapter title and page numbers to your Chicago citation to direct readers to the part you used.  For example:"Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. "The Rise of Superman," in Superhuman Powers in Global History (New York: Penguin, 2007)." A footnote ends with the specific page where the information you paraphrased or quoted in your paper can be found. For example: "Lane, Lois, and Clark Kent. Superhuman Powers in Global History (New York: Penguin, 2007), 92." While academic publishers and many professionals prefer footnotes, author-date parenthetical citations frequently are used in the social sciences and other disciplines, particularly for undergraduate papers.  Include the last names of the authors and the year of publication, then put a comma and list the page or pages where the information can be found. For example: "(Lane and Kent 2007, 92)."
Summary:
Start with the author's first and last name. Provide the title of the book. Include publication information. Add pinpoint citations for a specific chapter. Use the author-date style for in-text citations.
