INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Disable the button if your clock has the capability. Habitually hitting snooze will create a habit that can be very difficult to break. Set your alarm somewhere across the room, out of your immediate reach, so that you have to physically get out of bed to turn it off. Even if you don't feel like it, give it a try. Leap out of bed enthusiastically and spread your arms wide as if to say, "I am so ready for today! Bring it on!" It sounds silly, but it really does work (even if it just makes you giggle). When we wake up in the morning, we experience a feeling of brain sluggishness before our brains return to full functionality. During sleep we breathe very slowly, resulting in a lower amount of oxygen hitting our system than what our fully awake bodies are used to running on. Getting our brains back up to full speed depends on the time it takes for the body to inhale enough oxygen to get all of our processes going. Taking some big, deep breaths will get oxygen flowing faster, allowing your brain to fully wake up and reboot before you fall back asleep! Whether you throw open your curtains to let the sunlight in or turn on artificial indoor lighting, bright lights will instantly make you feel more awake. Doing this consistently can also help you to reset your internal clock to accept your new earlier wake up time. When you wake up, you are dehydrated from not drinking any water all night long. Dehydration can make you feel very tired. As soon as you wake up, drink a tall glass of water. You'll rehydrate your body and feel instantly more awake. When we are trying to establish a new habit, rewarding successes along the way can really help make that habit stick. Every time you successfully wake up early, reward yourself! It doesn't have to be a big deal, but do choose something that is genuinely rewarding to you, whether that's coffee, your favorite breakfast, or putting on your favorite music.

SUMMARY: Avoid hitting the snooze button. Jump out of bed literally! Take strong deep breaths immediately upon waking. Expose yourself to bright light immediately. Drink a large glass of water. Reward yourself.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you want to protect your table, desk, or countertop from getting covered with glue, it's a good idea to put down a protective layer before you get started with your project. A craft mat is a great way to protect any work surface, but layers of newspaper will work if you don't have a mat. You could also tear a trash bag along 2 of the seams and lay it down if you don't have any newspaper or a craft mat. When it comes to decoupage, there's no right or wrong. If you like a design, you can use it! You can choose several smaller pieces to put together, you can opt to lay down one larger sheet, or you can layer multiple pieces with a backgroundwhatever works for you. Once you decide what you want to use, cut out the image to fit the glass. If you're decoupaging a curved piece of glass, remember to account for the curve when you're deciding what size to cut your paper. Avoid using glossy images, like magazine pages. The coating on the paper can cause the image to bleed when you apply the glue. When you apply the wet decoupage glue to your paper, it will become fragile, and it may tear. If you only have 1 copy of your paper, a small tear could ruin your whole project. If you make a copy of the image, you can just start over if you make a mistake. An image from a laser printer is less likely to bleed than one from an inkjet printer. Also, if you're using vintage images, they may not accept glue well, so a laser copy will actually adhere to the glass better. If your only option is to use an inkjet printer, use low-moisture content glue.

SUMMARY: Lay a craft mat or newspapers on your work surface to protect it. Choose and cut out your images. Make laser printer copies if you only have 1 copy of your artwork.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Seafood, such as shrimp or scallops, go especially well with spaghetti. Tuna goes well with alfredo sauce and pasta. You can also pair fish fried in breadcrumbs with fries/chips for a typical "fish and chips" pairing. Caesar salad goes well with pasta and shrimp or scallops, and bean salad is great when paired with tilapia. Steamed vegetables are also an excellent choice. You don't have to worry about adding any fancy sauces or oils. A little bit of seasoning, such as salt and pepper, will be plenty. Quinoa is full of fiber, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, and vitamin B. It goes well with just about any type of fish. Brown rice is an excellent source of fiber, and goes well with salmon, especially miso-glazed salmon. Delicate fish, such as sea bass, flounder, sole, and tilapia, need a delicate white wine for balance. Consider white wines from the South of France, Greece, or Portugal. Lean, flaky will also go well with wines like Champagne, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and Sauvignon Blanc. Consider wines that are rich in aromas, or aged in oak. Fish like trout, catfish, cod, and halibut go well with wines like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Gris. Fish like salmon, mackerel, mahi mahi, shark, swordfish, or tuna have a firm texture, almost like steak. They go best with rich wines, such as: Chardonnay, Dry Rose, Sauvignon Vert, and vintage Champagne. They also go well with Pinot, such as White Pinot Noir and Pinot d'Alsace. Fish like anchovies, sardine, herring, and mackerel need a strong wine, but will also go well with Champagne. Consider any of the following wines: Champagne, Dry Rose, Pinot Noir, and any Greek red wines.

SUMMARY:
For something classic, pair fish and seafood with pasta or spaghetti. For something easy, pair fish, especially fried fish, with potatoes. For something refreshing or simple, pair fish and seafood with salads or steamed vegetables. Try fish with brown rice or quinoa for extra fiber. Pair lean, flaky fish with zesty, refreshing white wines. Pair medium-textured flakey fish with medium-bodied white wines. Pair firm, meaty fish with rich, flavorful white wines, and some red and rose wines. Pair salty, strongly flavored fish with mostly red wines.
