Problem: Article: Whether in aerosol or powder form, dry shampoo is perfect for refreshing your hair and getting rid of the excess coconut oil.  For a more natural solution, you can also use cornstarch, baking soda, arrowroot powder, or baby powder.  Avoid products with talc, which has been linked to extreme health issues. When your hair is completely dry, sprinkle some powder around the crown of the head. Start with a small amount and add more as needed, up to 1 teaspoon. Focus on the roots, since this is where most of the oil will be. Don’t add more than a teaspoon of dry shampoo because it will dry out the scalp. Keep combing until the powder blends into your hair and you achieve the level of shine you want. If you have darker hair, these lighter powders may leave a white residue or cast to your hair. To get rid of this white cast, use a liquid shampoo to lather and rinse your hair.
Summary: Choose a dry shampoo or powder to soak up the oil. Apply the powder to your roots. Comb through your hair until the powder soaks up the oil.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Moisturizing is a key part of any skin care routine. Because moisturizers hydrate the skin, they help the face look healthy, smooth, and fresh. Moisturizing also has long-term benefits. Hydration is what enables skin to function at peak performance, meaning that skin cells can repair themselves quickly and turn-over fresh cells. This has huge anti-aging advantages in the long term. Studies have shown that people who use moisturizer develop wrinkles at a fraction of the rate of those with dry skin. You'll want to choose a moisturizer based on your skin type. If you have oily skin, look for lotions or gels instead of creams. If you have dry skin, look for a cream, which has more oil in it. The greater the oil content, the better absorption of the moisturizer into the skin to hydrate the tissue. If you have combination skin, try a lotion with no acids, such as Cetaphil, Aveeno, Neutrogena or Lubriderm. Avoid choosing a very light moisturizer for after a facial. Your skin has just been deep cleaned and will need to be replenished with moisture. Otherwise, the lack of moisture in the skin will cause it to begin to overproduce oil and clog your pores, which in turn will lead to break-outs. The sun effectively destroys our skin cells and one of the secrets to keeping skin fresh and young-looking is to incorporate a moisturizer with sun protection into our daily skin care regimens.  Try getting a moisturizer with a 15-30 SPF (sun protection factor). Recent studies have shown that higher SPF products are not any more effective and, moreover, that they may not be as high an SPF as advertised.  One option is Neutrogena's Oil Free Facial Moisturizer with a 15 sunblock or Clinique's Superdefense Daily Dense Moisturizer SPF 25. Gently use your finger tips to massage the moisturizer into your skin, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies of your face. Be sure as well to moisturize your neck - the skin there also deserves attention!

SUMMARY: Understand the importance of moisturizing. Select a moisturizer. Consider getting a moisturizer with an SPF. Apply the moisturizer.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Take a moment to evaluate why you feel like you had a bad birthday: Did you want more attention from someone in particular? Was there an activity you were hoping to do but did not? Do birthdays always make you bummed?  Understanding why you feel disappointed in particular will help you to address your bad mood. For some people, birthdays are a time when we worry so much about the big day before it happens that we experience the disappointment as though it has already occurred. Leading up to your birthday, consider whether you were:  Focusing on what you were worried would not happen. If you were so worried about what gifts you would or wouldn’t get, or whether or not someone special would call on your birthday, you have worked yourself up so much before your birthday even started.  This type of thinking causes so much anxiety about birthday expectations that having any fun is an uphill battle. Looking forward to what could happen. Rather than worrying about what won’t happen, this type of thinking is much more hopeful about all of the upcoming possibilities. Instead of looking towards the future with anxiety about what might not happen, you were looking forward to your birthday with feelings of excitement and anticipation. Birthday expectations, the anticipations for the day that often lead to a disappointing, bad birthday, typically fall into one of the following categories:  Expectations of the birthday celebrations themselves. Because many of us expect birthdays to be a big deal, a full day when you are showered with gifts and attention, when this level of hype is not met, the overall feeling for the day is that it was a big letdown.  We focus so much on what the birthday should be that we don’t enjoy what it is. Expectations of where and what our life should be. Birthdays come once a year and are a prime time to reflect on the past year and consider the future. For some, this means coming to terms with the inaccuracy of the timeline of goals we devise for ourselves. These expectations are often harder to deal with, and can definitely sour a birthday.
Summary: Reflect on your disappointment. Assess whether or not you were anticipating disappointment. Consider what your expectations were.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dark leaves on a snake plant indicate that it is healthy and well-nourished. Leaves that have a yellowish tinge on the outer edge of the leaves or leaves that are pale and floppy could indicate that the plant is dying. Don’t re-pot your plant until it’s healthy so it can adjust to its new home and survive the transfer. A pale sansevieria doesn’t necessarily mean that the plant will die. It may just need some water and care and you can bring it back to life! Sansevieria are very susceptible to rotting out, especially if they sit in water for too long. Choose a pot that has good drainage, like a terra cotta pot or a pot made with another porous material so your snake plant isn’t at risk of rotting. Porous materials include terra cotta, clay, timber, paper pulp, and other natural materials that allow moisture to move through them. Snake plants don’t require too much water, and their roots can actually be damaged if they’re allowed to soak in soil that is full of moisture. To allow for good drainage and a healthy root system, choose a free-draining soil mix or even a soilless potting mixture. Place your sansevieria into the potting mixture and cover it with enough to hold it secure in the pot.  Many potting mixes that you can purchase from gardening stores are designed to help control moisture and improve drainage. Check the packaging for information on the potting mix. Use a soilless potting medium like vermiculite, peat moss, or perlite. When you’re ready to re-pot your snake plant, take a firm hold of the base of the leaves, where they connect to the soil. Gently slide the plant out of its pot.  Don’t shake any dirt loose from the roots. Be careful not to yank or jerk the plant or you could separate the leaves from the roots and kill the plant. Move the plant to its new pot and add enough soil or soilless mixture to support the plant and keep it upright. Add more soil mixture if the sansevieria leans to one side or is unstable in the pot.  Hold the snake plant in an upright position while you add soil to the pot. Pack the soil down by patting it with your hand to add support to the plant.
Summary:
Look for dark green leaves to make sure your sansevieria is healthy. Get a pot made out of a porous material. Choose a potting mix that allows for good drainage. Grasp the sansevieria at the base of the leaves and pull it from the pot it came in. Place the snake plant into its new pot and add soil to cover the roots.
