INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Bleached arm hair will grow out after about 4 weeks. This means that, depending on your hair type, the results may last fewer than 4 weeks. They typically work best on those with fair skin and light, fine hair. If you have very dark skin, the bleach may actually make the hairs on your arm more obvious. Keep in mind that everyone is different, however, so they may work for you. If you have very dark or coarse hair, the bleaching kit may not be strong enough to lighten the hairs on your arm significantly. You may be able to achieve a golden brown color, but you likely won't get white-blond. This type of bleach is stronger than the type you'd use on your face, but gentler than the kind you'd use on the hair on your head. Some kits also specify what skin and hair type they work best on, so be sure to get the right one. For example, if you have sensitive skin, get a kit that's either gentle, mild, or designed for sensitive skin. It would be a good idea to do this, even if you have used body hair bleaching kits in the past. It is possible to become allergic or sensitive to the ingredients. Here is what you need to do: Mix up a small amount of the bleach cream, typically one part of the powder and two parts of the cream. Apply thumbnail-sized amount to your inner arm. Wait 10 minutes, then wash it off with cold water. Wait 24 hours. If no irritation occurs, then you may proceed. If irritation does occur, then do not use the product. Do not use warm water, as this can open up your pores and make your skin more sensitive. Also, do not use it in a hot or steamy bathroom. Most body hair bleaching kits have to containers: one that has powder and one that has cream. Get out the tray that came with the kit, then scoop out some of the powder. Next, scoop out twice as much cream. If your kit came with two tubes of cream, squeeze out equal amounts of both, usually half-way around the tray. Scrape the powder towards the cream, then smoosh the cream flat around it. Keep smooshing, mushing, and pressing until the powder and cream are mixed together. Focus on the top of your forearm, where the hairs are darker. You may not need to use any bleach on the underside of your arm, or on your upper arm. During this time, avoid messing with the bleach. It may sting a little, which is normal. If it starts to burn or feel too uncomfortable, however, wash it off. If your hair still isn't light enough, apply more of the mixture, and wait 5 more minutes. Be realistic, however; the bleach can only lighten your hair so much. The shampoo will help restore your skin's pH balance while rinsing off the rest of the bleach. Discard any leftover bleach, then rinse out the tray and spatula. Do not take a warm shower for 12 hours afterwards, as this can open up the pores and make your skin more sensitive.

SUMMARY: Know what to expect. Get a cream bleach kit designed specifically to bleach body hair. Do a patch test. Wash your arms with soap and cold water, then pat them dry. Measure out one part powder to two parts cream on the tray provided. Mix the two creams together using the plastic spatula that came with the kit. Spread the mixture onto your arm using the plastic spatula. Wait 10 minutes. Scrape the bleach off with the spatula. Wash the cream off using cold water and shampoo, then pat your arm dry.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: These should be all 1 color, but this can be different from the color(s) that you used to make the bottom of the basket. For example, if you used pink and blue previously, you could use purple here. If you used more than 8 strips to make your base, count how many strips are on each edge, then add 2 inches (5.1cm). This is how long your new strips should be in inches. If your paper is not long enough, tape or glue 2 strips together to make a longer strip. If you are making a bigger basket, then make 1 additional strip for every 1 inch (2.5cm) of height. You will end up with four 4in (10cm) segments and one 2in (5.1cm) segment. These 4 segments will make the 4 sides of your basket. The 2in (5.1cm) segment will allow you to connect the strip into a square. If you used more strips to make your basket, it will be larger. Count how many strips are on 1 side. This is how far apart your marks will be. If you are working with a longer strip for a larger basket, you still want 4 equal-sized segments and one 2in (5.1cm) segment. Your strip should already be forming a rough square or pentagon shape. Take the 2 ends of your strip, and overlap them until they form a square shape. Secure the square with tape or glue. The end of your strip should nestle into the fold that comes just before the 2in (5.1cm) segment. This square will create the first row on all 4 sides of your basket. Make and fold the strips into four 4in (10cm) segments and one 2in (5.1cm) segment. Overlap and glue the ends to turn them into squares. When you are done, you'll have 4 paper squares, including the first one. Each square will create 1 row for your basket. If you made a bigger basket, make more squares. If you want a shorter basket, however, you can skip this. Set the first square down on top of the grid so that it's nestled inside the strips. Take every other strip, and pull them so that they are now on the outside of your square. Do this for all 4 sides of the square. This will complete 1 row. This means that the strips that were on the inside of the first square, should now be on the outside of the second square. Continue adding paper squares and weaving your strips around them until you reach the top. Each square that you add will make your basket taller. If your basket reaches the height you want, then stop adding squares.
Summary: Cut four 18 by 1in (45.7 by 2.5cm) strips of paper. Mark and fold your first strip every 4 inches (10cm). Overlap and glue the ends together to form a square. Repeat the process for the remaining 3 pieces. Weave the basket's strips through the first square. Repeat the process, reversing which strips go on the outside.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The temptation to stay up late on school nights is real, but not getting enough sleep can actually impact your grades and make you feel stressed. If you're tired in class, you won't be able to focus and take good notes. If you can't focus or take good notes, you won't learn the material, and you'll have a harder time studying for tests. It's not always easy, but try your best to go to sleep early and at the same time every night so you feel rested and alert in class. Avoid eating, exercising, or drinking caffeine before bed since it will make it harder to fall asleep. Try to avoid looking at screens for 1 hour before you go to bed. The light from screens can make your body feel more awake and interfere with your sleep cycle. Instead, try reading a book, taking a bath, or drawing in a sketchbook before bed. Exercising regularly can actually help your brain function better and reduce stress. Find some form of exercise that you like and do it for 30 minutes at least 5 days a week. Any kind of physical activity you enjoy can count as exercise, like playing sports, riding your bike, dancing, or running. Not only will a healthy diet make you feel better physically, it can also make it easier to concentrate in school. Try to limit foods that are high in saturated fat and simple carbs, like soda, desserts, processed meats, and packaged cookies. Instead, focus on eating fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Some specific foods that may make it easier to concentrate in school and while you're studying include: Salmon Blueberries Green tea Spinach Eggs Bananas Dark chocolate Trying to get straight A's in high school can be super stressful sometimes, so it's important to find healthy ways to cope with stress that work for you. Set aside some time each day, like an hour every evening, to unwind and shut your brain off for a bit. A few relaxation techniques you can try include: Yoga Meditation Deep breathing Progressive muscle relaxation

SUMMARY:
Get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. Get in a little exercise on most days of the week. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Use relaxation techniques to de-stress.
