INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wax can be bought at auto-part stores or wherever else you may have found your rim cleaner. Look for a wax jelly such as carnauba wax. Applying the wax after each cleaning protects your wheels from brake dust and makes future cleanings easier. Dip a clean cloth into the product. You may also do this with a wheel wash mitt, which can make reaching behind the rim simpler. Spread the wax over each rim. Don't forget to reach behind the rims. Get the front and back of each spoke along with the faces. Also cover the outside edges and the spaces between the spokes. Let the wax rest for three minutes. Use a clean cloth to go back over the rim. The wax should have settled onto the rims, leaving a protective coating.

SUMMARY: Get a rim waxing product. Spread the wax on a cloth. Rub the wax into the rims. Remove excess wax with a microfiber cloth.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place 1 hand on each half of the plastic egg. Gently twist and pull the halves to separate them. You will be able to make 2 maracas using 2 plastic eggs. If you want to make more maracas, simply use 1 extra egg for each subsequent maraca that you want to make. You can purchase plastic eggs from dollar stores or use leftover eggs from Easter. Use a spoon to scoop dry rice into 2 of the plastic egg halves. Gently twist the plastic eggs back together after adding the rice. There needs to be enough rice in each egg to fill it halfway. You can use any type of rice, provided that it isn't cooked. Alternatively, you can also use small plastic beads or small pieces of dry pasta if you prefer. Be careful to hold the half that is full of rice secure while you twist the other half back on. Filling each egg halfway with rice is only an approximate measurement. Try adding different amounts of rice to see how the sound changes when you use the maracas.

SUMMARY: Open 2 plastic eggs. Fill 2 plastic egg halves with dry rice and then close each egg.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It is not necessary to use a non-reactive pot. When the water is boiling, add the broccoli rabe stems. Cook for 2 minutes. Cook both stems and leaves for 1 to 2 minutes more. Take the broccoli rabe out and pat it dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.

SUMMARY: Add water to a pot and boil. Add the leaves after those 2 minutes are up. Strain the broccoli rabe from the boiling water and immediately place the stems and leaves into a bowl of ice water. Leave the broccoli rabe in the ice water for several minutes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Studies have shown that our emotions are reinforced and perhaps even driven by our facial expressions: smiling can make you feel happy; frowning can make you feel sad. If you're feeling down, try smiling for at least 30 seconds to see if it helps boost your mood a little. You might even try smiling in the mirror and making silly faces you might even get yourself laughing. Redecorating can help you feel as though you're making a fresh start. You can do this even if you don't have any money, simply by rearranging your room, or giving it a thorough clean and getting rid of things you no longer need. Cover your walls with things that inspire you for example, pictures of places you'd like to visit, or people who inspire you or make you feel happy. Find your favourite photo of you and someone (or some people) you love. If it's not already printed out, print it and frame it, and put it in a prominent place in your home. Take some alone time once in a while and treat yourself. Buy yourself that book you've been wanting to read. Take a few hours to sit in a comfy chair and read it while sipping your favourite tea. Have a bath in epsom salts and put on a nice moisturizer on afterward. Have a spa day. If you feel uncomfortable in your body, you'll likely have trouble enjoying yourself. Try doing daily exercises like looking in the mirror and naming 5 things you love about yourself not 5 things you hate. If you can't name 5, name as many as you can. Each day try to increase the number until you can list 10 or 20 things about yourself that you like. Almost no one will love everything about themselves; just try to like as much as you can. You are beautiful in your own unique way. The popular saying, "to give is better than to receive," is true for many people. Studies have shown that the same parts in our brain light up when giving gifts as when receiving them. Examples of good deeds: Try volunteering for a cause you believe in, even if it's only for a few hours a month. Help a friend, relative, colleague, or neighbor with something you know they could use help with for example, mowing the lawn, organizing their files, driving to the grocery store, packing up to move. Sometimes you need to get out of your head. Clean your house, doodle until you've filled a page, dance around to your favourite song, or sing at the top of your lungs to it. Allow yourself a few moments of distracted enjoyment as often as you can no matter how bad you feel or how much you feel you may not deserve it.

SUMMARY:
Smile. Redecorate. Pamper yourself. Love the skin you're in. Do a good deed. Distract yourself.
