Article: Jive is danced with the woman and the man facing each other. The man leads the jive and the woman follows his movements.  The man will start with his left foot and the woman will start with her right foot so that there is no bumping of knees and the dance moves smoothly.  Imagine an invisible string connecting the man’s feet to the woman’s feet. As the man moves, the women’s movements should follow. This means the man will have his right hand on the left side of the woman’s upper back and the woman will have her left hand on the man’s right shoulder. The woman’s arm should sit above the man’s arm.  There should be roughly an arm’s length of distance between the man and the woman. The man and woman’s other hands should be clasped together rather loosely. In jive, you don’t want to keep the arms too stiff or rigid. There should be a looseness to the arm position. Rotate your bodies so your feet are turned slightly away from each other at an angle. This will allow you both to move freely without bumping knees. You can both count out loud to hit each count. Make sure the man begins on his left foot and the woman begins on her right foot. Keep your arms loose and relaxed. This will help you master the basic jive movement and avoid getting distracted by the music.  Once you both feel comfortable with the basic jive steps, begin to jive to music. There are several popular mixes with good jive tracks available online. Jive music tends to have a faster tempo than swing music, so as you practice the steps and get better, you can also learn to move at a faster speed or tempo. Mimic the music’s tempo by accenting your foot and leg movements. To do this, shift your hips as you shift your weight back to your left foot or your right foot in the rock step. Keep your knees bent and try to highlight the counts in the music with the 6 counts in the jive steps. Continue practicing the basic jive steps with accented movements to music until you both feel confident enough with the dance.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Always let the man lead. Face each other and place your arms in the closed position. Move your body position so you both face slightly outward. Use the 6-count to complete the basic jive steps. Practice the steps without music.
Article: It's the first thing many of us go to when we think of milk, but there are so many varieties out there. Full fat cow's milk is great, but goat's milk is super good too -- in fact, goat's milk has a pH level that's close to our skin's natural level, so our skin takes to it very well. And for you animal activists, the good news is that rice, soy, and almond work similarly! But don't forget powdered milk! It's easy to store and doesn't go bad nearly as fast. 5 tablespoons or so in any concoction will get the job done. Just for the record, if you're using milk, don't scrimp on the fat. The thicker and creamier it is, the better. It hydrates your skin even more, moisturizing it with the vitamins and proteins from the fat. For this reason, whole fat goat's or cow's milk is probably best (though others can work in a pinch). This goes for yogurt and other dairy products, too (buttermilk, sour cream, etc.). You can totally substitute these for milk if you're out -- or saving it for your bowl of cereal come morning. Milk baths and the like are so popular that many beauty companies have caught on -- you can actually buy pre-mixed milk bath powders that make the process even easier. They're a bit more expensive though and can't be drank if you're thirsty! That milk bath can be made even more enjoyable if you add a little extra something to it. Namely, herbs, dried petals, salts, or essential oils. We're getting aromatic up in here, folks. It's not just good for your skin -- it's pleasing to your nostrils and uber-relaxing to boot! Bath salts can help exfoliate while dried petals, herbs, and oils are just plain soothing and relaxing. There are dozens and dozens of options out there, so take a trip to your local scent shop and try a few out for scent.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Don't just stick to cow's milk! Always go full fat. Try premade products. Add in extras.
Article: Styling the wig white it’s on a foam head will give you the freedom to work on the style from every angle. You can get a foam head from a wig store or beauty supply store or online for about $5. Rather than using your regular hair bush, get one made of stainless steel. Use it to carefully brush the wig hair, starting at the ends and working your way to the roots. Brushing the wig will “wake up” the fibers. Synthetic wigs are inexpensive and therefore aren’t made to last very long. However, using styling products can cause the wig to deteriorate even faster! Don’t use any products, like hairspray or heat protectants, on synthetic hair. Heat tools, like a curling iron or straightener will ruin the synthetic fibers. However, you can use steam to remove kinks or set a style. If you often wear synthetic wigs, you should invest in a handheld steamer, like the ones used to get wrinkles out of clothing. If you want to add curls to the wig, put the hair in foam rollers, then go over it with the steamer. Let the wig cool and dry, then remove the rollers.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Do your initial styling on a foam head. Use a stainless steel brush on synthetic wigs. Avoid using any styling products. Use steam rather than heat tools.
