Problem: Article: There are a variety of paper and gel masks available for purchase. Masks specifically formulated for hydration give you an extra boost by applying a layer of moisturizer directly to the skin and letting it soak in for 15-20 minutes. The mask is applied all over the face, except for the eyes and lip areas. Masks labeled 'non-comedogenic' are best for people who have problems with acne. Cream masks and paper sheet masks tend to be the best option for hydration.
Summary: Use a hydrating face mask 1-2 times per week.

Problem: Article: Start your storytelling by interacting with your audience or doing something to grab their attention. Ask them a question, even if it's just rhetorical, that relates to the conclusion, twist, or context for the story you're going to tell. Alternatively you can make a grabbing statement that catches their attention (setting your hook, the equivalent of a click-bait headline). This forces their attention to focus on the idea of your story and makes them want to hear more. Fairy tale example: "Have you ever wondered why the moth chases the flame?" Funny story example: "I have the college roommate story to end all college roommate stories. Let's just say it involves a toilet." Throughout your storytelling, you want to create an immersive experience. You want to tell your audience the story in a way that makes them feel like they're there. Start by giving them context when you start your story. Continue to create the scene by using details which help them picture the action and feel the things you felt. You'll also want to carefully tailor your language: use words which create very strong, very specific emotions. Fairy tale example: "Once upon a time, when the world was old and magic still lived and beasts still spoke..." Funny story example: "I'm sort of the quiet, owns-multiple-cats type, right? But my roommate was very much the what's-a-liver partier." Of course, the entire arc of a story should be building tension and releasing tension, until the climactic point in the story and the falling action of the conclusion. But what you need to remember is that a release of tension should come between the tension points. Without this release of tension, a story can feel rushed or too list-like. Real life includes moments between the things that happen to us. Stories should too. This release can be a description of the scene, and quick filling in of semi-relevant details, or a joke if the story is meant to be a bit funny. Fairytale example: "Moth approached the tall, white pillar and there was Flame, burning in her glory. Moth felt hooked somewhere around his stomach and the tug of love set in. Of course, heroes do not rescue their princesses in the same day, and Moth spent many splendid moonlit nights falling deeper in love with Flame." Funny story example: "It was a new year and so we moved into this new neighborhood that was nice and...stabby. So...I'm pretty much set to DEFCON 1 at all times. Good for the blood pressure, you know." When telling a story, it is important to include details, to create that sense of immersion. However, you don't want the story to take on a "rambling" feel. This is why it's very important to focus on what's important. Cut the details that aren't important for the story, leave the ones that make the story. As time allows, keep the details that go the furthest to create proper pacing or set the scene, but adjust as necessary to meet the reactions of your audience. If they start to seem bored, speed it up and pare down to the necessities. This is where knowing your story and practicing become important. You know that person that tells a story and they get partway in and then they're like, "Oh, I forgot to mention..."? Yeah, don't be that guy. Don't stop to back up. This breaks the listener's experience of the story. Tell the story in a way that is logical and flows smoothly. If you do forget a detail, weave it back in without breaking the experience of the story. For example: "Now, the Pied Piper wasn't just after the town's money for no reason. You see, they'd gone back on a deal they'd made with him." It's awkward when an audience isn't sure if you're done or not so make the conclusion of your story feel conclusive. There are a number of ways to do this, some examples of which are: Ask a question and give an answer. "How crazy is that? I know I'm sure not going to try that again." State the moral. "This, ladies and gentlemen, is an excellent example of why you should never take your cat to work." Use tone and voice carefully. Try generally building in volume and speed until the climax of the story, at which point you should slow back down and lower your voice to show you are done.
Summary: Engage your audience. Build the scene. Build tension and release tension. Focus on what's important. Keep the flow logical. Make it feel conclusive.

Problem: Article: Since driving is one of the biggest ways people contribute to global warming, minimizing how much you drive will make a huge impact. There are many ways you can do this: Carpool to work with others. Use public transportation. Consider riding the bus, using the subway, or taking a train. Plan weekly or monthly shopping trips, instead of going out whenever you need something. Buy a new bicycle, a used one, or refurbish one. While you don't need to bicycle everywhere, you can use it to get around town, exercise, and to visit friends. In the end, you'll save energy and gas money in addition to getting in shape. If you can't live without a car, then use it in a way that minimizes global impact. By regularly maintaining your vehicle, you'll save money on gasoline and on future repairs. Keep your car tires adequately inflated. Under-inflated tires can reduce fuel economy by up to 9% and are subject to increased wear and tear. Check them monthly. Change your air filter. Check your car's air filter monthly. Cleaning your air filter improves your mileage and reduces pollution because it makes it easier for your car to take in air and maintain a proper fuel/air mixture. Insulate anything that uses energy to stay a different temperature from its environment. You can buy insulation from hardware stores and in many varieties. Keep your water heater insulated to save up to 1,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide a year. Avoid using units fitted with continuous pilot lights, and you will save 200 kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions yearly. Re-insulate your whole home to reduce heating and cooling costs. If your insulation is old or inefficient, replace it. Consider the attic, crawl spaces, basement, walls, and ceiling. If you have awkward spaces, be aware that cellulose or fibreglass insulation can be blown in by a professional contractor. Weather strip your home. Weather strip your doorways, windows, and HVAC system. This could save up to 1,700 lbs. of carbon a year.
Summary:
Drive less. Ride a bicycle. Maintain your automobile. Insulate your home and major appliances.
