INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Turn on the water long enough to just get yourself wet, about 30 seconds. Make sure you get your hair and whole body wet in this amount of time, then shut the shower off. With the water off, proceed to lather up your body. Put shampoo in your hair, and rub it in well. Soap up your body. Keep going until you've got your whole body covered in soap suds. While the water is off, take the time to shave. If you need a little water to rinse off your razor from time to time, fill an old cup with water. Then just agitate it in the water to clean it off before moving on. Turn the water back on. Starting with your hair, begin rinsing off the soap. Rinse from the top down so you're not adding soap back to areas you've already rinsed. Leave the shower on just long enough to rinse off your whole body. If you need to use conditioner, turn off the water again, and lather up with conditioner. Once you're done, turn the water on again to rinse it out. Alternatively, use a leave-in conditioner that doesn't need to be rinsed out.

SUMMARY: Turn the shower on for 30 seconds. Turn off the shower, and lather with soap. Shave as needed. Turn the water on, and rinse with soap. Repeat the process for conditioner.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The apostrophe (" ' ") has a variety of uses for conveying the concept of possession. Be aware of the difference in using an apostrophe with singular or plural nouns. A singular noun will use the apostrophe before the "s" ('s), whereas the plural version of that noun will use the apostrophe after the "s" (s'). This use comes with several stipulations discussed below. Be mindful of nouns that are always considered to be plural, such as children and people. Here you should use 's even though the nouns are plural. Also be aware of pronouns that are already possessive and do not require apostrophes, such as hers and its. (It's means it is or it has). Their is possessive without apostrophe or s, except as a predicate adjective, where it becomes theirs. Here is an example of an apostrophe used to show possession with a singular noun:The hamster's water tube needs to be refilled. Here is an example of an apostrophe used for showing possession with a plural noun:In the pet store, the hamsters' bedding needed to be changed. Here is an example of an apostrophe used for showing possession with a plural noun that doesn't end with "s":These children's test scores are the highest in the nation. Contractions are shortened combinations of two words. For example, cannot becomes can't, "it is" becomes "it's", you are becomes you're, and "they have" becomes they've. In every contraction, the apostrophe replaces the letters that are omitted from one or both words. Be sure to use the possessive pronoun your and the contraction you're appropriately. It is a common mistake to interchange them. Here is an example of apostrophes used for a contraction of it is and a singular noun with possession, while correctly being omitted for possessive pronouns (hers, theirs, its):Friends of hers explained that it's her idea, not theirs, to refill the hamster's water tube and change its bedding. Single quotation marks, which look almost identical to apostrophes, are used to separate quotations from other quotations which surround them. Use these carefully: always make sure every quotation mark used to start a quote is paired with a corresponding one at the end of the quote. Here is an example of a quote-within-a-quote:Ali said, "Anna told me, 'I wasn't sure if you wanted to come!'" This is a very common mistake. Remember that apostrophes are not used to show the simple pluralization of a noun. Here are examples of correct and incorrect apostrophe usage:CORRECT - apple apples INCORRECT - apple apple's
Summary: Use the apostrophe together with the letter s to indicate possession. Use the apostrophe to combine two words to make a contraction. Use a single quotation mark within a regular quotation to indicate a quotation within a quotation. Don't use an apostrophe with an s to make a singular noun into a plural noun.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Get the end of a cleaning cloth damp with warm water and use it to clean off your metal. Make sure to clean off all of the surfaces that you're painting so the paint can adhere well to them. Dry off any spots that are still wet. Avoid sanding your metal since it will leave noticeable scratches. 1 coat of chalky paint onto your furniture and let it dry. Buy a container of chalky paint and soft-bristled paintbrush from your local paint supply store. Dip the end of your brush into the paint and apply a thin layer to your metal furniture. Work from the top of the piece down toward the bottom until it's entirely covered in paint. Leave the paint to dry overnight so it has a chance to cure. Make sure not to use chalkboard paint instead of chalky paint. Chalky paint has a matte finish and is usually used for distressing, while chalkboard paint is meant to be written on once it's dry. It's okay if the first coat doesn't cover the metal evenly since it will make your piece look more distressed. Once the first layer is completely dry, put on another coat of paint until your furniture has even color. Once all of the exposed metal is covered with paint, let it dry for 3-4 days so the paint has time to settle. Don't try to distress the metal while it's curing because the more paint may peel off of the metal than you want. Get the corner of a cleaning cloth wet and rub any areas where you want to expose the metal underneath the paint. Work around edges and corners since they're areas where distress naturally happens first. Apply light pressure to lift up the paint. If you accidentally remove to much paint, pat the area dry and cover the spot with another coat. Dip the end of a cheesecloth in the finishing wax and pick up a small amount from the container. Rub the wax onto the paint in circular or back and forth motions until it's clear. Coat the entire piece of furniture so it's protected and won't get easily damaged. If your furniture feels waxy, keep buffing it out with a cloth until it doesn't.

SUMMARY:
Wipe any dust and dirt off with a cleaning cloth. Paint Apply a second coat of paint and let it cure for 3-4 days. Wipe areas with a damp cloth to distress them. Seal the paint with finishing wax to protect it.
