INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Let your mother settle down, and give yourself time to think everything over. Get out of the house if you can, giving both of you the space you need to cool down. Spend time with friends or go for a walk to clear your head. If you are grounded and not allowed to leave home, try other methods to calm down, such as listening to music or talking to a close friend on the phone. Chances are, if you and your mom had a disagreement, you may have said some ugly things to her. Can you see aspects of the fight that were your fault? Did you break a rule? Say a curse word? Get bad grades in school? Or, are you upset with her because she won't give you permission to do something? Think about your role in the fight and try to identify at least three things you know you did wrong. This will help you to build a genuine apology for her later. Sometimes fights happen when we are in a bad mood, tired, or hungry. Were any of these conditions relevant in your case? Did you fly off the handle with your mom simply because you have a bad day at school? Now that you have a better understanding of the fight and what may have gone wrong, try to view it from your mom's perspective. Was she tired from coming in after work? Is she sick or not feeling well? Did you blindside her with an accusation or offensive statement when she was preoccupied? For years, counselors have used a strategy to help people identify when they need self-care and avoid any heated discussions or decision-making. The acronym is HALT and it stands for hungry, angry, lonely, and tired. Taking a good measure of your own and your mother's mood state in the future can prevent unnecessary disagreements. Oftentimes, teenagers and young adults may not understand their parents' train of thinking on certain decisions. The parents say "no" and that's all you hear. You don't see the underlying rationale for the decision. To help you better understand your mother's actions, imagine yourself in her shoes talking to your own child. How would you have reacted in a similar fight with your child? Would you have said "yes" or "no"? Would you have tolerated your back talk or snide comments? Would you have listened to a counterargument when your child's safety was in question? Thinking about parenting from this point-of-view will help you to develop greater empathy for your mom, and also give you some insight into her decisions.

SUMMARY: Take some time apart. Examine your role in the fight. Try to see things from her perspective. Envision a role reversal.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Headbands are extremely versatile. Depending on their style, they can look athletic, youthful, or glamorous. Most headbands look best if they are worn close to the hairline, and they look great on everything from super-short to very long hair. If you have a problem with your headband slipping, try teasing the hair behind your headband to hold it in place. Hold the hair straight up, then comb it backwards with a fine-toothed comb. Gently smooth down your top layer of hair to hide the teased section. Side buns and low or side ponytails in particular look pretty and romantic when you add a flower or a bow to the style. Create the style you want, then nestle the accessory into your hair close to the elastic. If you need to, secure the flower or bow with bobby pins.

SUMMARY: Slide a headband about 12 inch (1.3cm) from your hair line. Tuck a flower or bow into an updo for a feminine look.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will want to be at least 5-7 inches away from your chest/body. Point the nozzle in the direction of your body. If your skin gets to wet from the spray, you are holding it too closely. " These points are places where blood vessels are close to the skin. There is extra heat at these points, and because heat rises into the air, your fragrance will more likely be smelled. Some of the most commonly used are collarbones, knees, and necklines. Rather than walking through a cloud of perfume mist, direct the spray exactly at the "pulse points." This will increase the effectiveness of the spray, and not cause you to lose so much of the smell. If your perfume is not a spray type, you can always use your hands to add the perfume onto a "pulse point." Simply shake a bit of perfume out onto your hand. Rub it between your hands. Gently apply to the skin, and rub gently in a small circle. Keep your clothes off until the area is dry. Try and wait at least ten minutes. Neat and natural oils change the scents of the perfume, so you do not want to rub the perfumed area. Rubbing your wrists together after you have perfumed them is a consistent idea perpetuated over and over again. However, rubbing your wrists together breaks down the molecules of the perfume, and dampens the smell. A little bit goes a long way when it comes to perfume. It is best to put on too little, than too much. You can always sneak a bottle in your purse, and apply some later if you feel it is not strong enough.

SUMMARY: Hold fragrance away from your body. Spray perfume onto your "pulse points. Use targeted sprays. Dab your perfume on. Let your "pulse point" dry without rubbing it. Try not to overdo it with the perfume.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A blue outfit can draw attention to your eyes, but the wrong shade of blue for your eye color can wash them out. A good rule of thumb is to avoid dull blues, neon blues, and blues that match the exact color of your eyes. If you have green-blue eyes, avoid turquoise or aqua blues--they'll overwhelm your eyes. Try purple blues. If your eyes are gray-blue, try a baby blue. Bright blue eyes will look amazing in a royal blue outfit. Navy blue looks good with any color blue eyes. If you have blue eyes, you most likely have a cool-toned complexion. Warm-toned clothing can clash with cool-toned skin. Avoid oranges, reds, and yellows so you don't distract from your eyes. Jewelry, hair clips, hats, and scarves in browns, oranges, and warm metallics will draw attention to your blue eyes--especially if they're near your face! They're a great option if you'd rather not wear an entire orange-toned outfit. If you wear glasses, consider getting gold or tortoiseshell frames to bring out the blue in your eyes. Try a gold hair clip near your face to bring out your eyes. An orange or rust-colored scarf will draw attention to your eyes. Adding touches of blue to your outfit will draw even more attention to your eyes. Try wearing blue jewelry, shoes, or bags. You can also pick clothes that have blue patterns or stripes. Turquoise jewelry is a great way to bring in a little blue. An all-black outfit can give you a dramatic flair that draws attention to the only spot of color on you--your beautiful blue eyes! This look works especially well with bold, dramatic eye makeup. This look is best for those with light, bright, green, or purple-blue eyes. Gray and dark blue eyes can be lost in all black. If you don't want to wear an all-black outfit, try wearing a black hat or scarf to frame your face.

SUMMARY:
Choose blue shades that complement your eye color. Avoid warm-toned clothes. Use gold, brown, or copper accessories. Add small pops of blue to your outfit. Try wearing all black.
