In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use your break to catch up on all those things that you could not find time for during school. Use your time to catch up on laundry, or cleaning your room. You don't want to waste precious time every day looking for some clean clothes to wear, or trying to find your phone or keys in a messy room. It may not be the most fun you'll have all summer, but getting it out of the way first can make for a great start. Think big. List all the things you have been wishing you had the opportunity to try, then spend your holiday making them happen. Having a list handy will provide you with lots of ideas. You won't waste your summer days sitting around trying to think of something to do. Just find something on your list to check off. Keep the people that matter to you in mind. You don't want to keep yourself so busy that you have no time to catch up with them. Set aside time that is just for being with family or friends and make the most of it. With work, family and friends, keeping track of your summer activities can be overwhelming. Make a calendar so you can fill your days with fun without overdoing it. Summer is a good time to earn extra money. The biggest mistake students make is spending it all on their holiday and going back to school broke. Be sure to limit your activities to what you can afford so you head back to school in good financial shape. You don't want to begin the new school year while you are stressed out about money.
Summary: Make a to do list. Make another list of things you have always wanted to do. Make time for friends and family. Create a calendar. Keep your spending under control.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: "Size" is the adhesive material applied to the surface that makes the copper leaf stick to it. There are two options available water-based or oil-based size. Oil-based size is the most traditional choice. Quick-dry oil size reaches tack (the required "stickiness" to adhere the copper leaf) in about two hours. It is meant to be used for small projects or whenever you have a limited time frame to work within. Slow-set oil size will reach tack in ten to twelve hours. It is intended for larger projects that require a lot of work time. Water-based size is an alternative to the more typical oil-based size. It comes to tack within twenty minutes, and remains workable for about thirty hours. Water-based size is not burnishable. If you plan to burnish the surface, use oil-based size. Adhesive size goes on wet. Use a paint brush to apply the size carefully to the surface. Even application is desirable for best results. Use the paint brush to work the size to an even coat as you spread it over the surface. Make sure you cover all areas that you want to gild. Copper leaf will not stick to a surface that does not have size on it. Once applied, you must give the size the proper amount of time to reach tack before applying the copper leaf. Tack times vary based on which kind of size you use. Following the correct tack time procedure will greatly affect the final look of your project. For the most professional looking results, read and follow the tack time instructions precisely. Gently run the back of your knuckle over a small area of the surface. Listen for a squeak sound, which indicates tackiness has been reached. If the size is still too wet to apply the copper leaf, it will come off on your skin. When it's ready, it will feel sticky but will not come off on your skin. Monitor the size carefully and test the tack every half hour until it has been reached. Once the size becomes too dry, you will have missed your opportunity to apply the copper leaf. It must be applied to a surface with proper tack. If you live in a very warm or dry environment, keep in mind that tack time may be reduced.
Summary: Choose the right size for your project. Apply the adhesive size. Allow time for tack to develop. Test the tack.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The "deer in the headlights" look can make you look a little frightening. The quickest way to make any portrait look better is to ever so slightly squint your eyes. Be careful not to squint so much that it looks like you're straining to see something, however. There's a reason almost everyone hates driver's license, passport, and other ID photos. Looking straight-on, stiff, and wide-eyed at the camera just isn't flattering. Before snapping your picture, show off your best side and tilt your head slightly. A smile improves any picture. Studies show that a smiling face appears more likeable than one with a neutral expression. Relax your mouth, show a few teeth, and smile naturally. Try to avoid the clenched, cheesy smile. Pouting out your lips in an unnatural way, or any other unusual expression will lower the quality of your profile picture. Over-the-top expressions can make you look silly and obscure what you really look like. You want people to be able to match your profile picture with how you normally look. A profile picture should focus on showing your features as they naturally are. If you do your makeup, wear bright lipstick and make sure your eyebrows are perfect so they will enhance your expression. Take off sunglasses or anything else that might obscure your features.
Summary:
Squint a little. Tilt your head to the side. Show your pearly whites. Avoid the duck face. Keep things natural.
