INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Heat until the water begins to steam or simmer. Heat speeds up the chemical reaction that causes the glow. By warming the glow stick, you can make it glow brightly for a short time, sometimes up to half an hour. If a glow stick "died" more than a day ago, this will have little to no effect. Once it's used up, it's used up. A sturdy jar will withstand the heat better than a glass. Find one tall enough to hold most of the glow stick. You can use a mug instead. There's a risk of melting the glow stick, so don't use a nice mug. If your water came to a full boil, definitely wait five minutes for the water to cool. If your water was only steaming, you can go ahead right away, or wait about a minute. The glow stick plastic will melt if the water is too hot. Some brands can withstand boiling water (100C / 212F), while others may melt in water above 70C (158C). If using a mug, wait ten minutes for boiling water. Leave it in for thirty seconds, then pull it out with tongs or rubber gloves. If there's any "oomph" left in the glow stick, it should glow brightly for a short time. Do not put your face over the jar. The glow stick is unlikely to explode, but it's best to be safe and sound. If the glow stick melts, seal the jar in a plastic bag and throw it away. These materials cannot be recycled, and the jar should not be used again.You should throw away the jar to be safe.

SUMMARY: Heat a pot of warm water. Pour the water into a glass jar. Let cool (recommended). Drop the glow stick in the water.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Chances are that after going to a bunch of houses, you will hear certain similarities in disinterest. Keep an eye out for these basic themes, and prepare answers. You may not always get past them, but you will be prepared to address some early concerns. A negative buyer can still be open to persuasion. Don't see those negative responses as refusals, but as opportunities to give more information. Your potential customer needs to know that what you are selling will give them something they want. You should know the difference between a "benefit" and a "feature." A feature is something your product does, such as a vacuum that picks up more dirt than its competitors. A benefit is what you get from that feature. For that vacuum, the benefit would be a cleaner, healthier home. If your potential customer seems unwilling to buy, let your enthusiasm guide them. If they can't believe that you like or believe in your product, why should they? Most people will not want to stand in their doorway for too long, so if there is an opportunity to talk further, they will generally invite you inside. If possible, try to get contact information. With that, you can always offer to come back or call at another time. If you have fliers, business cards, or other printed materials with your contact information, this is a good moment to pass them out. If you don't have any, it might be good to get some. If a person gives you a direct "No" in response to your offers, thank them for their time and move on to the next house. There is no benefit to pushing that person any further.

SUMMARY: Learn the common negative responses. Focus on your product's benefits. Be positive about your product. Offer to provide more information. Pay attention to clear rejections.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When building your Boho Chic wardrobe, choose items made from natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, velvet, chiffon, silk, leather, suede, and fur. You'll also want to choose items in natural tones and colors for example, white, beige, brown, earthy reds and oranges, and dark greens. Note that wearing fur is considered by many to be cruel and unethical. If you like the look but don't want to wear real fur, there are many good faux fur clothing items available. Crocheted and lace dresses, tops, hats, and bags are staples of Boho Chic. Beads, fringe, and embroidery are also hugely popular, and can appear in your clothing and your accessories. Boho Chic clothing comes in many patterns: floral and avant-garde-style accents are popular, as are checks and ethnic-inspired prints. If you do experiment with fun patterns, be sure to pair them with relatively neutral items for a balanced outfit. A key ingredient in Boho Chic style is comfort you'll see a lot of soft, loose-fitting, flowy clothes, often worn in layers. Maxi dresses (full-length, usually loose-fitting dresses) are a great example of the flowy comfort common to Boho Chic. Cut-offs and a flowy white lace top paired with a long, beige knitted sweater is another example of a comfortable Boho Chic outfit. Not everything you wear has to be flowy you can combine flowy shirts with fitted pants or skirts, or vice versa. Here's an example of an outfit you could wear in colder months, when the rain and snow make flowy dresses and skirts impractical: Pair some faded, fitted light-blue jeans with a white chambray top and a big, knitted, neutral-toned sweater. Add interest to the outfit with a long silver-chain necklace punctuated by a pretty stone pendant turquoise would work well. You could also combine this outfit with a colorful, jewel-toned scarf. For shoes, go with brown, tan, or beige ankle boots with a relatively low, chunky heel. (Think cowboy boot heels.) Ballet flats and ethnic-inspired sandals (i.e. Greek, Roman, or African) are the generally accepted staples of Boho Chic. For cooler weather, you can wear cowboy boots, ankle boots with thick heels, or high '70s-inspired boots. Leather and suede are the preferred fabrics for shoes; natural shades such as beige, tan, and brown are recommended. If you're vegan, it's possible to buy convincing vegan "leather" versions of natural leather shoes. Bright colors are great for adding heat to your Boho Chic outfit; just make sure they're colors you would find in nature for example, jewel tones like ruby red or sapphire blue, or the bright green-blue of a clear mountain lake. With all the patterns and layers available, building a Boho Chic outfit can be daunting. Avoid the temptation to wear all of your favourite things at once. You'll also want to avoid being too colourful: aim for mostly neutral tones plus one or two accent colors. It's also important to consider textures. Wearing patterned pants with a lace top and a crocheted fringe vest would definitely be going overboard. Similarly If you're wearing a beaded top, it may be overkill to wear a bunch of beaded necklaces with it. If you're unsure of what sort of color combinations to use, an online search for "Boho Chic color combinations" will return a lot of creative suggestions. If you're curvier, look for items with more structure, as flowy items and layers can make you look bigger than you are. If you're thin and short, you may get lost in long, flowy layers; aim for shorter tops and/or skirts, slimmer fits, and shoes with heels.

SUMMARY:
Choose clothing in natural tones and fabrics. Say yes to lace, crochet and other embellishments. Experiment with fun patterns. Think comfort. Combine fitted and flowy clothes. Wear shoes in natural shades and fabrics. Avoid neon. Don't go overboard. Dress for your body type.
