Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide if you’ll wear a necktie. Make your blazer into an evening look. Wear a smoking jacket. Accessorize. Choose the right shoes. Pick the right bottoms for a tuxedo blazer.

Answer: Find out first if you think there may be style requirements where you’re going. If you’re attending a formal restaurant or a gathering for work, appropriate neckwear may be expected. Consider the situation and use your best judgement.  If you want to wear a necktie, consider paisley prints, solid colors, or neckties with checks or stripes.  If you’re wearing a collared shirt without a necktie, make sure your collar is taut. You should starch and iron it and use collar stays. If you don’t want to press it yourself, get it dry cleaned and ask for light or heavy starch. If you’re not wearing a necktie, keep in mind that the more buttons you undo on your collar, more your look presents a casual and even daring vibe. Consider the people you’ll be with and the mood of the gathering. If possible, pair your blazer with a crisp, new, collared shirt in a white shade. Match your jacket with a dark-colored necktie or bowtie. A sleek combination is a black velvet blazer with dark gray or black suit trousers. For a bit more casual of an evening look, swap out the collared shirt with a solid-colored t-shirt, and top it with a formal scarf. You can get velvet smoking jacket blazers in short or long lengths. This is a lightweight, casual look, typically with two to three buttons that close the blazer over your torso. For an extra convenience factor, get a blazer with side and interior pockets.  For a bold, modern look, wear a smoking jacket in an animal print jacquard, with the rest of your outfit a single, dark shade.  Consider a matching velvet bow tie. Consider elegant (not gaudy) cufflinks. Choose a watch, belt and shoes that are as exact of a color match as possible. Match the metal of your watch, if applicable, to the shade of metal in your belt buckle. Consider adding a pocket square.  For instance, if your watch is a brown leather band, your belt and shoes should be brown leather in a matching shade.  Fold your pocket square evenly. Put it in your pocket with 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch showing. Wear shoes that make you feel confident. You may want to wear loafers, whole cut leather, brogue, or another type of shoe. Polish and shine your shoes. Whole-cut or other dress shoes are more formal, whereas loafers are casual. Loafers look good with light-colored suits. Pair your blazer with dress pants or tuxedo pants in the same color – for instance, black. Add a white or colored shirt and consider tucking a handkerchief in your pocket. Look sharp by adding a bow tie to a white, fitted, collared shirt.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Normalize having guy friends over. Tell them he's just a friend. Make him familiar to your parents as a friend. Consider when and whether it's time to tell your parents.

Answer: Have girl friends over, too. Emphasize to your parents that these boys are just friends. The more regular and neutral these visits, the better to warm your parents up to the idea of external male figures in your life. As weird as it may sound, band your boyfriend with the rest at first. If you've played it cool enough, your parents won't suspect a thing. After a while, your parents will probably loosen up and become used to having him around. This way when (and if) you choose to introduce him to them as your boyfriend, they won't be as disapproving. They will know him and have seen you interact, and they will know that it is a healthy relationship. Never close the door to your room. That just calls for your parents to get suspicious. Have a very open and casual "friendship" with him in front of your family so that they are not uncomfortable or second-guessing anything. Once they are friendly with him and are used to having him around, you may choose to tell them about him or continue with how you're going. Whether they like him or not generally plays a large role in that.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Clean the doll. If the doll came from a thrift store and you want to disinfect her (you never know how much dirt and baby slobber could have gotten on her), try this trick.

Answer: If your doll gets dirty, do not put it in the bathtub. Instead, use baking soda. Use a damp washcloth and rub on the powder. Then use a dry towel to wipe it all off.[citation needed] Undress your doll. Take a baby wipe, and put some disinfecting hand sanitizer on it. Rub it in, then rub this wipe all over your doll until she is slightly wet all over. Let her dry (it should only take a few minutes) then dress her.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use an exfoliating scrub. Make your own moisturizer. Add jojoba oil to your homemade moisturizer.

Answer:
Exfoliating is essential to any skin care regimen and should be done once or twice a week to remove dead skin and grime from your face. Failing to exfoliate can cause dead skin cells to clog pores, which can result in acne. There are multiple different homemade scrubs that you can test out:  Baking soda and Coconut Oil scrub: removes dirt and dead skin and leaves your skin feeling soft. You will need ½ cup of organic coconut oil (melted or very soft) and a ¼ cup of baking soda. Mix them together until they are completely blended and form a frosting-like consistency. Store in a jar at room temperature with a tight fitted lid. Rub a tablespoon of the mixture onto your face. Then rinse off with warm water and pat your face dry.  Lemon and sugar scrub: acts as an astringent that tightens pores and brightens complexion. You will need ½ a lemon (juice), ½ cup of granulated sugar, tablespoon of olive oil, and a tablespoon of honey. Mix the lemon juice and olive oil in a bowl. Add the honey and whisk until combined to form a medium-to-thick consistency, then add the sugar and mix. Gently rub a dollop of the mixture onto your face. It will help clean pores and heal acne scars for people with oily skin. Many people think that moisturizer is unnecessary if you have oily skin, but that is actually not true. You can have oily skin, but still need hydration. For example, a moisturizer that contains lavender will soothe and hydrate your skin. Try out this very simple recipe to make your own moisturizer: Mix together a ½ a cup of coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of liquid vitamin E, and and 5-7 drops of lavender essential oil. Store in a jar and use on your face twice daily to help keep your skin moist and healthy. Jojoba oil is a waxy substance that seals moisture into the skin and protects it from external threats such as dirt and grime. Oily skin can easily gather dust and dirt from the surrounding environment, so protect your pores with jojoba oils while keeping your skin moist.  Apply jojoba oils after you wash your face. Simply rub drops of jojoba onto your palms and apply evenly to your face. This will leave your face feeling soft and smooth. Alternatively, you can mix jojoba oil with other oils to make a moisturizer. For example, mix together 2/3 jojoba oil, 1/3 tamanu oil, and 4 to 7 drops of lavender or peppermint essential oil.
