Q: One of the best and healthiest ways to avoid a kissing disaster is to brush your teeth. No one wants to kiss someone who still has food particles in between their teeth or has bad breath.  Don’t forget to brush your tongue as well. Bacteria can build up on your tongue if it’s not brushed regularly, which causes bad breath.  Get in the habit of bringing a travel size toothbrush and toothpaste with you. You can either keep it in the car or, for girls, in your purse. Having the essentials on hand will help you to be prepared at all times. There are also disposable products you can purchase, which slip on your finger and serve as a toothbrush. These are a bit more discreet and don’t require you to have toothpaste on hand. You can find them at any major retail store or online at sites such as Amazon. Once you’re done brushing, don’t forget to finish with some mouthwash. It not only helps to fight bacteria, but will freshen your breath and make you even more kissable.  Mouthwash shouldn’t be used as a substitute for brushing. However, if you’ve brushed recently and are just in need of a freshening, feel free to swish with some mouthwash. To use mouthwash properly, swish it around in your mouth for a full 30 seconds. If 30 seconds is too long, try to keep it in your mouth for as long as you can before it begins to burn.  Travel size mouthwash is also something you can have on hand for emergencies. This is particularly useful if you think you may be staying overnight but don’t want to be presumptuous. In case you’re on the go and haven’t had time to adequately brush your teeth, breath mints and gum are an easy way to mask your bad breath. They also come in handy if your date has bad breath too!  Gum is actually beneficial in more ways than one, as it helps with saliva production. This may not seem like a good thing, but saliva production is actually a defense against bad breath.  If you’re wondering what type of gum or mint is best, opt for cinnamon as it helps to reduce bacteria in your mouth. Another way to make your mouth more kissable and fresh is to apply chapstick or lip gloss. If you’re nervous, instead of licking your lips, try applying chapstick or gloss so that you don’t dry out your lips.  If you’re applying lip gloss, don’t wear anything that is too sticky. Instead, consider buying a flavored lip gloss that isn’t overly heavy. Lip balm is another great product, which will make your lips softer and smoother and even more kissable.
A: Brush your teeth. Use mouthwash. Have breath mints or gum on hand. Use chapstick or lip gloss.

Article: The use of chemicals make most flowers provided by a florist inedible. This also applies to flowers bought in a grocery store. You want to know where flowers came from, and who grew them, to make sure they're safe to eat.  Unless labeled as edible, never eat flowers from a florist. Flowers from a florist are usually sprayed with chemicals to maintain a certain appearance. If you talk to the florist, and he or she assures you the flowers are safe to eat, they may be edible. However, unless the florists specifically tells you they are edible, do not eat flowers from a florist. It's unlikely that grocery store flowers are safe for consumption. Like flowers sold by a florist, they are usually sprayed with chemicals. It's doubtful a grocery store worker would have any information for you regarding the chemicals used on these types of flowers. Growing edible flowers in your garden is another way to ensure they are safe to eat. If you have the space, and enjoy eating flowers, look into creating a flower garden in your backyard. All flowers grown with pesticides and chemicals contain toxins and are not edible. If you aren't sure if chemicals were used, avoid them.  Look for organic flowers, but be aware that some organic flowers only limit the use of toxins. Your local farmer's market is the best place to buy edible flowers. The farmers will generally be able to provide you with information about how their flowers were grown and let you know if they're safe to eat. Flowers sold at a farmer's market are generally less likely to have been grown with heavy use of pesticides. Certain grocery stores may sell edible flowers. These flowers will be labeled as edible on the container, and may not be sold in the regular flower aisle. You can try asking a worker whether your local grocery store sells edible flowers.  You may be less likely to find edible flowers at a conventional grocery store. Try an organic food store, or a food co-op. Never eat flowers from a grocery store unless they are specifically labeled as edible.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Identify the source. Avoid flowers sprayed with pesticides. See if you can find edible flowers in the grocery store.

Q: When pruning young trees, you create the shape and structure of the tree for its entire life. Your later prunings are to maintain the structure and polish up the appearance of your tree. To do this, look for any new, fresh branches and cut them off with your garden shears. Just like you did when pruning your young trees, inspect your trees for branches below 4–5 ft (1.2–1.5 m), and look for any damaged branches or discolored areas. If you find any low-hanging or sickly branches, cut them off at a 45-degree angle near the trunk.  This keeps your tree healthy as it continues to grow and produce walnuts. You can use your garden shears, as these branches shouldn’t be very thick. As new branches grow, they may take a forked appearance or may start to grow across one another. If you notice any forked or crossed branches, cut them off using your garden shears or hand saw. Make your cut as close to the trunk of the tree as you can, and use a 45-degree angle as you cut. If you’d like, you can remove the smaller of the forked branches and keep the larger section. Do this if the branch is towards the top middle of the tree and if it looks attractive.
A:
Prune mature trees once every 3-5 years to preserve their shape. Cut off low or damaged branches to maintain the central leader shape. Remove any forked or crossing branches to keep your tree healthy.
