INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even if your period of self-harming is behind you, seeking help can make the recovery and coping process much easier. Speak to your doctor about your options (which may include counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy), and consider whether there might be contributing factors that caused your self-harming behaviour in the first place, like an eating disorder or sexual abuse. Coming to terms with the behaviour and understanding it may change the way you view your scars, and how you wish to cover them. As part of your recovery process, you may wish to hide your self-harm scars with thick, camouflaging makeup. Choose a green-based concealer, which will cover the red undertones of your scars effectively. Dab the makeup over the scar until you are happy with the coverage, then pat the surface of your skin with a powder foundation. For best results, choose a concealer that closely matches your skin tone and avoid any that have brightening properties, which will draw attention to your scars. Book a consultation with a reputable tattoo artist to discuss the possibility of tattooing over a scar (or scars) left behind from your self-harming period. Bring a design to the consultation, or have a clear idea of what you want to have as a tattoo before meeting with them. Be sure that you are ready for the commitment of having a tattoo, taking into consideration how you might feel about it in the future.

SUMMARY: Seek help to deal with your self-harming issue. Use camouflage makeup. Get a tattoo.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Point out a specific feature you find particularly sexy about her. Not only will you brighten her day a little, you will also show her you find her attractive no matter what she's feeling about herself. Letting her know she's beautiful even when she isn't expecting to hear it will boost her self confidence and make her feel more attractive. Self confidence will help her feel sexy and desirable. . Showing that you are interested in more than just looks by listening to her. Actively listening to what she thinks and feels shows her that you love her mind, too, and that you want to truly get to know her. Demonstrating that you know she's more than just a pretty face can make a woman truly feel sexy. To be a good listener, don't interrupt, put away your phone or turn off the TV, and give her your full attention. Make eye contact and nod to show that you are engaged. Don't spend the time that she's talking thinking about what you are going to say this means you are not truly giving her your full attention. Ask follow-up questions like "That's interesting; why do you think that?" or, "Wow, I had no idea. Can you tell me more about that?" One of the best ways to make a woman feel sexy is to show her you're thinking about her. By sending her sweet little texts throughout the day, she will know she's always on your mind. Flirt with her via text, tell her she's beautiful, or tell her you can't wait to see her later. If you are at work and can't use your phone, you could send her emails, or even leave sticky notes around the house for her to find in the morning or when she gets home. Your texts or notes might say things like "You looked so beautiful last night," or, "I can't wait to see you again after work," or, "I can't stop thinking about you." Feeling desired and wanted will help a woman feel sexy. Tell her that you want her. Tell her you find her irresistible. Show her you want her by staring right into her eyes when you tell her these things. Be genuine, and she will notice. Telling her you want her out loud will probably have a more profound effect than if you send it over a text. Make eye contact, take her hand, or run your fingers through her hair while you tell her you want her to make the moment even sexier. Say the actual words: "I want you so badly."
Summary: Compliment her when she's not expecting it. Be a good listener Send her flirty texts throughout the day. Let her know you want her.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A proper personal flotation device should be a jacket or vest that covers the chest, stomach and back. The life vest must be properly fitted so that it does not slip up on the body when falling. It should fit snugly but not be uncomfortable. Be sure to check the manufacturer's label for weight limits and sizing information. You will want a pair of combination skis, which are suitable for beginners and have two skis with one ski having a half-foot binding behind the other foot. Skis for beginners will usually be wider and thus more stable on the water. They will be made for different weight ranges so it is important to pick a water ski that suits your size. Check the manufacturer recommendations for the recommended weight ranges for the particular skis you are looking at. Kids skis are different in that they are smaller and easier for small children to control. They will usually come with a "trainer" option, or when you tie the skies together to prevent the skier from losing their balance and performing the splits. The bindings will usually be adjustable for a range of sizes to fit a variety of people. Trainer skis for kids can often be tied together, preventing the child from doing the "splits". Kids usually have a hard time keeping control over their skis and keeping them together so this can be incredibly helpful when beginning. A water skiing rope will have a little stretch only and be 75 feet (22.86 meters) long from the handle to the opposite end. Do not use a wakeboarding rope, which will have no stretch, or a rope that is too stretchy. The rope should be labelled and marketed specifically for water skiing. There are seven different hand signals that a skier should learn. These are important for signalling the boat driver while water skiing. A thumbs-up means go faster while a thumbs-down means slow down. It is important to remember this while skiing so that you do not accidentally ask for more speed. Bring thumb and forefinger together to signal OK. This tells the driver that the speed and path are good. Point your finger in the air and move it in a circular motion and then point to the direction when you want to turn a certain way. This can be used by the water skier to signal that they want to go a particular way or by the boat driver to warn the skier of a turn. Pat your head to signal that you would like to return to the dock. You can do this if you are tired and want to finish. A slashing motion at the neck means to stop the boat immediately. This can be done by the skier, driver or observer in case of emergencies. Clasp your hands over your head after a fall to signal that you are OK. This should be done after every fall. Many states require boats to have ski flags. These are usually bright coloured flags that signal to other boats that there is a skier in the water. Every time the skier is in the water and not skiing, the flag must be held up for other boats to see. This is an important safety measure and most boats will need an observer who is in charge of watching the skier and holding the flag. The proper stance for starting to water ski is called the "cannonball" position. While on dry land, put the skis on your feet. Hold the handle and bend your knees so that you are sitting on the skis in the same form you would use to complete a cannonball. Have someone pull gently on the other end of the rope to help pull you up into into a chair position. You will look like you are sitting in a chair, even though there is not one. Make sure your knees stay together at all times and that you keep your arms straight to allow the rope to pull you up.

SUMMARY:
Wear a life vest. Obtain water skis. Consider tying the skis together. Use a proper water skiing rope. Learn to use the proper signals. Get a ski flag for safety. Learn the proper stance on dry land first.
