Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose 3 pairs of baby socks. Roll each sock into a rosebud. Wrap florist’s wire around the center of the rosebud. Pull gently on the top of the rosebud to  loosen the “petals. Bend the wire at a 90° angle right against the sock fabric. Arrange the blooms. Wrap the twisted wire in florist’s tape for added security.

Answer: You will use 5 of the 6 socks from the pairs to make the blooms for the corsage.  Be sure to save the 6th sock so that the mother-to-be can use all 3 pairs for her baby. This design will also be suitable for either a lapel or a wrist corsage after the greenery and ribbon are attached. Start at the base, or toe, of the sock and roll inward. Hold the blooms in one hand and grab the five wires directly below the blooms with the other hand. Twist the five wires together until you reach the ends. Leave about 3” (8 cm) of wire trailing from the sock. Cut off the remaining wire. ” This will make the baby sock blooms look fuller. The blooms will now be facing forward, not upward. Twist the florist’s wire together to hold them in place. This will also minimize the sharpness of the wire which could tear the sock or be uncomfortable to wear.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a hairstyle that flatters your face. Wear makeup if it makes you feel good. Wear clothes that flatter your body and make you feel great.

Answer: First, use a tube of lipstick to trace your face on a mirror. Then, figure out what your face shape is by looking at the outline. Next, pick a hairstyle that looks great on your unique face shape. Print out pictures of the haircut you want to show them to your stylist.  Common face shapes include oval, round, square, heart, and long. If you’re having trouble picking out a hairstyle, get your hair trimmed to just above your shoulders, with layering. This style is considered the “perfect haircut” because it looks great on everyone. Hats and hair accessories are also a great option for styling your hair. Use them to show off your personal style. You don’t need to wear makeup to be beautiful, but do it if it makes you happy. Use a foundation, tinted moisturizer, or BB cream to even out your skin tone. Then, play around with blush, eyeshadow, and lipstick that make you feel confident.  Do a natural makeup look if you don’t want to look like you’re wearing makeup. Do either a bold lip or a dramatic eye. You don’t want to do both at the same time because your look will be too overwhelming. Every body shape can be beautiful, so don’t worry about your size. Instead, focus on choosing pieces that show off your assets and make you feel your best. Donate any pieces that don’t make you feel fabulous.  Try on everything in your wardrobe and only keep the clothes you love. Show off what makes you feel confident. For instance, wear short skirts to show off your legs or a backless top to show off a sculpted back. Look for great brands and really unique pieces for affordable prices at consignment shops or thrift shops.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Energize that voice in your head. Wear bright colors. Play in the rain. Dress up. Limit your TV usage. Get happy.

Answer: When the voice in your head sounds like Eeyore, it's pretty hard to get pumped up. But when it's saying things like, "9 AM -- BE AWESOME. 10 AM -- Dominate gym class LIKE A BOSS. 11 AM - Rock the chemistry test," it's pretty hard to not feel like the Energizer bunny. So get to training your head for energy. It's here to pump you up, even if it doesn't sound much like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The idea here is to A) talk to yourself in exclamation points -- with enthusiasm, with excitement -- but also B) talk to yourself positively. It's very hard to get enthusiastic about failing or things not going your way. So to energize your thoughts, think brighter. There's a reason we wear black to funerals! Turns out wearing bright colors can make you happier and more energized. In other words, hyper! So if you were thinking of going goth, sorry. You'd be better off going Rainbow Brite. Looking at bright colors can do it, too. It's as if the bright colors cue your brain to get ready for fun and excitement. No wonder adults get tired -- they're constantly around blacks, blues, and tans. They need a little orange in their lives! Okay, that's probably the funniest thing you could do. But really, getting wet at all alerts your system, waking up all your senses. Showers can actually get your metabolism going! So go splash some water on your face or go puddle jumping -- it's all good! It also wipes away stress, almost literally. So if you're feeling worried about something (which can be a total drag), aim for the water. Maybe life should be one giant pool party, huh? If prom were to happen every day, it wouldn't be special. Very few people would get excited and the buzz it cultivates just wouldn't be there. But when dressing up (even if it's not prom) rolls around only once every so often, it creates this intangible excitement that you can't help from feeling energized about. So take this Friday night to get dressed to the nines! You don't have to put on a prom dress or tux to see this effect. Just throwing on nice clothes can put you in a good mood, especially if your friends are doing it too. When it comes to effects like these, there's definite power in numbers! Turns out plopping yourself down in front of the TV is more than just relaxing -- it's energy-zapping and turns you into a vegetable. You end up not wanting to do anything but sit there and the cycle just gets worse. So if there's a show you absolutely have to watch, watch it, but then get up off your butt! Instead, try playing games -- even if it's just Words with Friends on Facebook! It's the same relaxing stuff, but it keeps your brain entertained and just plain going -- instead of zoning out and shutting down like it does when you crawl in front of the tube. We've sort of touched on this already, but let's lay it on the line: it's super hard to be hyper when you're down in the dumps. When you think of a sad person, are they running about, flailing their arms, screaming for the hilltops, and being, well, unstoppable? No. Never. So if you want to get hyper, you'll need to beat those nasty thoughts into submission. There's no room for worry, regret, or sadness here. You need a reason for that pep in your step! So whatever makes you happy, do it. Dance naked in your living room. Spend the night baking 3,197 sugar cookies. Play online chess for 4 hours and then do your homework. If it gets your endorphins going, it's good.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check your ant farm for holes. Slow down the ants so you can add them to the ant farm. Care for your ant farm.

Answer:
Ants are highly skilled at escaping from containers, no matter what precautions you may take. A store-bought ant farm will probably be safe, but if you've made your own ant farm at home you'll want to check it for any tiny gaps that might allow ants to escape.  An easy way to tell if your ant farm is secure is by filling it with water, wiping the outside dry, and turning it upside down to see if anything drips out. Only fill your ant farm with water if it's empty. Do not attempt to test your ant farm in this way if you've already filled it with dirt and/or ants. When you are ready to add your ants to the ant farm, they may attempt to rush out of their storage container. You can slow them down to more easily transfer them to the ant farm by placing them in a refrigerator for a very brief period of time.  Store the transportation container full of ants in the refrigerator at a low setting, but only for a minute or two. This should slow the ants down sufficiently. Anything longer than two minutes might kill the entire colony, so be sure that you don't leave them unattended for long. Once your ants are in their farm, they should begin exploring their new habitat and digging an extensive network of tunnels. Like all living things, your ants will have some basic needs that must be met if the ants are to survive.  Ants need a source of clean drinking water, but not too much or they will drown. Use an eye dropper to add just a few drops of clean water every other day.  Give your ants fresh food every two to three days, depending on how quickly they're eating. Small insects and tiny scraps of kitchen meat are an ideal food source for young ants, while older ants will enjoy some sweet and sugary crumbs. Keep your ants out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Try to maintain a steady room temperature of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 24 degrees Celsius).
