Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Leave the fruit in the freezer until the fruit pieces are frozen solid.

Answer: Depending on what kind of fruit you're freezing, this can take anywhere from 3 to 12 hours. Try not to leave the fruit uncovered in the freezer for over 24 hours, as the pieces can start to get frost burn. It's safe to check on the fruit every 3 or so hours to make sure it's freezing properly and that none of the pieces are stuck together. Don't remove the fruit from the freezer until you're ready to transfer it to containers.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have fun together. Spend time with each other. Try new things. Respect each other.

Answer: After you've found a guy to date, you can focus on connecting on a deeper level. One of the best ways to bond with your new guy is to focus on fun. Look for ways to have a good time together. Make sure to laugh. Try watching a funny movie together, or telling each other jokes. Don't be afraid to be playful. If you pass a park, ask if he wants to push you on the swings. When you're building a new relationship, it is important to spend quality time together. Make sure to make time for your new boyfriend, and ask the same of him. Be creative! Study together. Doing homework or quizzing each other for an upcoming test is a great way to get in some quality time without neglecting your responsibilities. Take turns picking an activity. Try alternating making the plans for your Friday night date. Experiencing new things is a great way to connect. Look for fun activities that neither or you have tried before. For example, you could try taking a dance lesson together. You could also try learning a new sport. Maybe the two of you could try to figure out tennis together. When you are dating a guy, make sure that you treat him with respect. Likewise, he should also treat you with respect. This means listening to each other and being kind. Make sure to show up on time when you have plans. Expect the same from him. If a guy doesn't treat you with kindness, he is not worth your time.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your friend privately. Bring up the issue calmly. Treat your friend as a potential ally. Share why the comment bothered you. Criticize the comment, not the person. Stand your ground.

Answer: Do not address the issue in front of other people. Make sure that you can talk to your friend one-on-one without anyone overhearing your conversation. You could invite your friend to have a cup of coffee with you or meet with them in a closed room or office. Try saying something like, "I was hoping we could talk about something. Do you have some time to talk privately?" Get straight to the point when you talk to your friend. Rather than beating around the bush, tell them you want to talk about the comment they made and how and why it offended you. For example, start the conversation by saying, "I've been thinking about what you said yesterday about my sexuality. I know you probably didn't mean anything by it, but it kind of bothered me and I wanted to talk about it." Remember, your friend is your friend for a reason. Chances are, they're a potential ally in the situation. If your friend cares about you, they probably don't want to offend you. Treat them like a potential ally who made a mistake rather than the aggressor. For example, say, "A lot of times, straight people don't really understand bisexuality. I know you weren't trying to be hurtful, so I just want you to understand me a little better." Remember, the goal is to educate your friend. It's therefore important your friend understands why the comment was disrespectful. This way, they won't make similarly offensive remarks in the future. For example, say, "I prefer to define my own sexuality and I don't need you to explain it for me. Also, bisexual people don't really see themselves as half-gay and half-straight. We have our own identity." During the conversation, make sure you don't come off as accusing your friend of being hateful or bigoted. Don't blame them or be too defensive either. Use "I" statements to ensure that you are only expressing your perspective. Even if your friend is prejudiced, they may react poorly if they feel personally attacked. Try to address the comment in a calm, objective way instead of attacking their character. For example, don't say, "I felt like you were being biphobic." Instead, say, "I felt like the comment was biphobic." People are not always receptive to criticism. Your friend may become defensive or make excuses. Calmly stand your ground if your friend does not want to listen to your criticism. It's important that you feel heard and your friend understands that your feelings were hurt. You can listen to your friend's side. In fact, it can be helpful. If your friend simply wasn't thinking, they may offer an explanation in addition to an apology. However, do not let an explanation be an excuse. Say something like, "Okay, I understand you meant that as a joke, but it really bothered me given the context." You can also ask your friend questions at the end of the conversation to ensure that they understand your perspective and will not make the comments again. For example, you could ask your friend, "Did you understand that those comments were offensive?" or "Can I rely on you to be more aware in the future before making this type of comment?"

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use an exfoliating wipe. Rub on a sugar-based exfoliator. Massage with a cut lemon. Try acetone. Apply a hair remover cream. Dab on whitening toothpaste. Moisturize your skin.

Answer:
Certain areas of skin such as your elbows, hands, knees, and ankles soak up more self-tanner than others. You may need to tone down or smooth out the color and a simple exfoliating wipe can do this without completely removing the color. Get exfoliating wipes at any pharmacy, large retailer, or specialty cosmetics store. You may want to choose one for sensitive skin so that you don't rub your skin raw. Rub the area on which you want to smooth in a gentle motion. This can help ensure that you don't harm your skin or remove too much of the self-tanner. Check the area occasionally to make sure that you're not rubbing off too much self-tanner. Consider trying baby wipes, too. Although not all of them work for sunless tanner, some do and have a pleasant scent, too. Streaks of sunless tanner can develop when you don't apply enough product or miss a spot during application. Using a sugar-based exfoliator can gently even out the color of your skin. Find a sugar-based exfoliator by reading package labels. Sugar is a common product in many exfoliators and you may notice that it has a gritty texture. You can get these products at many large retailers, pharmacies, and cosmetics stores. Apply a generous amount of the product to your skin and lightly rub it to remove the sunless tanner. After 30 seconds to a minute, rinse off the exfoliator with warm water and check to see if the color is even. If not, repeat the application until you reach the desired color. Lemon is a natural exfoliator and can lighten your skin, too. If you have a few streaks or spots you want to remove, cut a lemon and gently massage it on your skin. Rub the spot for two to three minutes. Check the spot and see if your streak is lighter. If not, repeat the process until the streak is the same color as the surrounding skin. It may sound unusual to use acetone, which is nail polish remover, to smooth out self-tanner streaks. But applying a bit to the streaks you want to smooth out can quickly and effectively hide any mistakes and streaks. Make sure to get an acetone polish remover by reading the packaging label. Non-acetone polishes may not smooth or remove self-tanner streaks. You can easily get acetone polishes at pharmacies, large retailers, and specialty cosmetics stores. Soak a cotton ball or pad with acetone and rub it into the area you want to smooth. Check every few seconds to see if the spot is smoothed. If not, continue to rub the area with acetone until you smooth out the streak. Be aware that acetone can cause serious harm if you ingest it by drinking. It is safe to use on your skin, but rinse off acetone if it burns your skin or causes any discomfort. Depilatory, or hair-removal, creams may also seem like an unusual way to smooth out streaks, but it also can gently take down the color of mistakes. Applying a hair remover cream for half the recommended time may quickly and gently remove color to smooth out streaks. Dab a small about of hair remover cream onto a cotton swamp. Gently apply this to the streak and leave it on for half of the application recommended time. Rinse off the product with warm water and check the color. If necessary, repeat the process until the streak matches the surrounding skin. Avoid leaving the hair remover on for the whole application time suggested on the packaging. This can completely remove the tanner and cause a white streak. Hands and fingers are one of the areas most prone to getting streaks of sunless tanner. Applying a dab of whitening toothpaste to them has the same effect as it does on your teethit lifts stains. Try rubbing a thin layer of whitening toothpaste to any areas on which you want to smooth out the color. Consider trying a whitening toothpaste that also has baking soda and peroxide, which may help to boost the effect of the product. Streaks or splotches are often the result of dry skin patches. This is especially true on areas such as the hands, elbows, feet, and ankles. You can easily remedy this by using moisturizer to your benefit with an exfoliator. Exfoliate the areas you want to lighten or smooth out. Check the spot after a minute to see how much of the sunless tanner you've removed. When you think you've blended out the streak, moisturize the spot. Prevent these types of streaks and splotches by moisturizing your hands, feet, ankles, and elbows before you apply sunless tanner. This can keep the areas from absorbing too much product.
