INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In a healthy relationship, couples make time for one another in their busy schedules. If you wish to passively hint that this person is no longer worth your time, limit your interactions with them. Instead of hanging out with your partner or the person crushing on you, pick up a hobby, play video games, hang out with other people, or become highly focused on your career. Eventually, they may decide you aren’t worth their time either. When you do spend time together, act distracted or leave early. Couples loyally support each other through the highs and the lows of life. If you wish to give this person a reason to stop loving you, revoke your support. Do not attend their sporting events or concerts. Do not ask them about their test or pitch. When they come to you for help or advice, minimize their problems or support the other party. Your inability to provide moral support, may make them search for someone more loyal. Partners rely on words and actions to communicate their feelings with each other. By withholding your ability to be vulnerable, you will successfully create an emotional void in your relationship. Refuse to share your feelings—when you are hurt, refuse to talk about it. Avoid all forms of physical contact. Overtime, they may deem you emotionally unavailable and an undesirous partner.

SUMMARY: Stop making your relationship a priority. Do not show any support. Act distant.

Set the jar in a pan with a few inches of water and slowly heat the water until it all melts together. Add a few drops of essential oil and mix it. Then pour the balm into tubes or tins and let set until completely cool.  Good choices for your liquid oil include castor oil, avocado oil, olive oil, and coconut oil. Castor oil will make her lips feel really smooth, so it’s great if she’s got chapped lips. You can safely add peppermint, spearmint, sweet orange, lemon, lime, and vanilla absolute essential oils for both scent and taste. Just pick your mom’s favorite! If she likes to take luxurious baths, make her custom bath salts. Pour 2 cups (16 ounces) of Epsom salt into an airtight container. Then add a few drops of essential oil and close the lid. Shake the container until the oil has completely coated the salt.  Choose your oils based on what you want the salts to do for your mom. Peppermint and lavender are good for stress relief and citrus is energizing. You can also choose your scents based on what your mom’s favorites are. You can also add a few drops of food coloring to color the salts. This is an especially good idea if you plan on storing the salts in a clear container. Nothing feels more pampering than good hand or foot lotion. Heat 1/4 cup (2 ounces) coconut oil, 1/8 cup (1 ounce) shea butter, and 1/8 cup cocoa butter over low heat until it melts together. Remove the pot from the heat, and then add 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (0.5 ounces) of your choice of liquid oil – avocado oil, olive oil, or coconut oil – and 5 to 10 drops of your mom’s favorite essential oil. Mix everything together, then pour the mixture into your choice of container and let it cool. Keep a lid on the container.  Small canning jars are a great container to use for homemade lotions. These lotions are generally too thick to use in jars with pumps. You can write the name or scent of the lotion on a little tag, then punch a hole in the corner of the tag and run a piece of ribbon through it. Tie the ribbon around the neck of the container. Write each coupon on one piece of paper. Then punch a hole in the corner of the paper. Run a piece of ribbon through the hole and tie it tight. You can also staple the pages together. You can also download templates for coupon ideas off the internet. Coupons for free massages, cleaning the dishes or your room, performing extra chores, or letting your mom pick the movie for a movie night are all great coupon ideas.
