Problem: Article: After rinsing your brushes, take a clean towel or paper towel and gently squeeze the extra water out of your brushes. Don't wipe your brushes against the towel because this can cause the bristles to loosen and fall out. And never shake out the extra water, which can also loosen the bristles. After squeezing out the extra water, lay your brush over the edge of the table with the bristles facing downward. This will maintain the shape of the brush and prevent extra water from seeping into the head of the brush. Put a towel under the wet brushes. Allow your brushes to dry completely overnight before you use them again. Never let your brushes dry while standing upright -- this can rust any metal parts of the handle and also loosen the glue in the head where the bristles meet the handle. Once your brushes are dry, gently fluff them out. Use your fingers to reshape your brushes if needed. You can also get the bristles slightly damp to reshape them. Hold your brushes in the steam from a garment steamer for a few seconds, then reshape the surface gently with your fingers. Try holding them in the steam from a tea kettle spout if you don't have a garment steamer. Let the brush cool before you use it.
Summary: Squeeze out extra water. Lay it flat. Reshape your brushes. Steam them into shape.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Avoid heat while your ankle recovers. Heat increases blood flow to the injured area and aggravates inflammation. Warm compresses, saunas, and steam showers may do more harm than good in the first three days after your injury occurs. Stay away from heat during this time and stick to cold compresses to help relieve pain and swelling. Do not drink any alcohol while you are recovering. Alcoholic drinks open up the blood vessels in the body. When your blood vessels open up, the swelling in your ankle can become much worse. Alcohol will also delay the healing process, so it is a good idea to avoid it while you recover. Stay away from running and other physical activities to make sure that your ankle heals. Running and other high impact physical activities will only make things worse. Rest for at least one week before resuming exercise. Do not massage your ankle for at least a week. While massaging the pain away in your ankle might sound like a good idea, giving your ankle a massage will just add external pressure to your injury. This external pressure will actually make the swelling worse. You can start to gently massage your ankle one week after you have allowed your ankle to rest and recover.

SUMMARY: Stick to cold compresses. Abstain from alcohol. Keep your movement low impact. Wait to massage your ankle.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your ex may try to come back into your life when they need attention or intimacy. Verbalize to your ex that "over means over" and refuse to allow the person to drop in and out of your life. Turn down the offer if they ask you to hang out one-on-one or have sex. This also means communicating your boundaries when the person expects you to drop everything to see them or interferes with your other relationships. Try to discontinue any joint activities that the two of you may have shared. Your ex may think that you two can continue some of these even though you have broken up. You will need to choose to discontinue them, or find new outlets away from your ex. If you've been in a relationship for an extended period of time, you may have been neglecting your self-care. Use your new single status to make yourself number one. Do all of the things that you've always wanted to do but never did in your relationship. Take yourself out to new and interesting restaurants, browse around art galleries, and attend concerts. On your self-dates, be sure to look your very best just as you would on a regular date. Get a new haircut or try out a new signature scent. Your self-esteem can take a hit after a breakup. Remind yourself how worthy you are by surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people. If you lack a strong support system, try joining a new club or organization in your area. You could also try to rekindle and rebuild relationships that you may have neglected while you were with your ex. Think of one small way to challenge yourself and do it. Taking even a minor risk can make you feel empowered. Take self-defense, sign up for a cooking class, complete a certification for your job, or wear brighter colors in your everyday wardrobe. Switching things up can make you feel brand new. You could also try journaling. This can be a valuable outlet for your feelings.
Summary: Set strong boundaries with your ex. Date yourself for a while. Spend time with people who build you up. Try something new.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You want to be yourself around your crush, so don't center all the conversations around him and his interests let him get to know you, too. Once you're talking regularly, try to look for shared interests to discuss. This way, you'll get to know each other better and bond through common traits. For example, say you find out you both like Dancing With The Stars. Try asking him about the latest episodes after they air. For example, "Did you see Dancing With The Stars last night? It was so crazy." From there, you can look for broader topics of shared interests to discuss. For example, "Do you like dancing? I just love dancing and musicals." If a conversation is slowing down, ask a question. Asking someone about themselves will usually keep a conversation interesting. This will also give you a sense of whether you want to eventually ask your crush out. If you have a lot of shared interests and opinions, you're more likely to be compatible. You can ask questions like: "What's your favorite movie?" "Do you have any hobbies?" "What's your favorite subjects in school?" "What's the coolest place you've ever visited?" "Who's your favorite television character?" When you really like someone, it can be very tempting to try and be the type of person you think they would be interested in dating. For instance, if the guy is really sporty but you couldn't care less about sports, you might be tempted to pretend you're also a big fan. Avoid this. Don't deny your own interests, hobbies, and friends out of fear of judgement or rejection. You can be polite about it ("Oh, I'm not really into football."), and use it as an opportunity to help him learn a little about you ("I actually really love going to see live music."). It can be hard to keep this in mind when you are crushing hard, but remember that someone who doesn't like you for who you really are ultimately isn't a good match for you. If you get his number, texting can be a great form of communication that can help you get to know him better. Try to text him once in awhile and see how he responds. This can help you see if he likes you as well. A guy who texts back eagerly is more likely to be interested. Be yourself when you text. If he asks you questions, give honest answers. Use your own unique voice and sense of humor. Throw in an occasional emoji. Don't overdo it, but a few smiley faces now and then can come off as flirty. Allow him to initiate texting on occasion. You don't want to overwhelm him. As you're getting to know a guy, try to do some light flirting. This will convey your interest and allow you to get a sense of whether a guy likes you. If he flirts back, it's likely he's interested. Smile. Smiling is contagious. Keeping eye-contact while smiling is key. This keeps the tension in the air flirty and fun. A smile to a guy gives him motivation to pursue you. Give him a brief smile and then look away. Make eye contact. This will convey interest. Try to introduce gentle touch. Lightly brush his arm when you're talking to him, for example. Some topics can tank a conversation, so they should be avoided. If you're trying to get to know a potential romantic interest, stay away from topics that may make him uncomfortable. Avoid putting yourself down. You want to show that you like yourself and you're not insecure. Never say anything negative about his friends or family.
Summary:
Discuss shared interests. Get to know him by asking questions. Be yourself. Text him regularly. Try to flirt some. Avoid certain topics.
