INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This method isn't much harder than the basic "puff" fold above, but it looks incredibly elegant, making it a great choice for when you're trying to impress your friends. To start, lay your napkin flat and fold it in half. Press down on the fold to make a firm crease. Unfold the napkin. For this method, it's more important than normal to use a stiff, square cloth napkin. These sorts of napkins hold creases more easily than paper napkins, making your final "fan" shape look much sharper. In addition, if you don't use a square napkin, the dimensions of your fan may be off. Folding parallel to the crease you put in the napkin, make alternating folds from one side to the other. Aim to fit about four to six folds on each side of the central crease the precise number doesn't matter. Press down to form creases as you go. When you're done, your folded-up napkin should be a long, skinny, "accordion-ing" strip. Note that your original crease should act as one of the folds in your "accordion". You may need to adjust the width of your folds slightly to get them to line up perfectly with the crease. Over time, this gets easier. Next, find the middle point of your accordion-ed strip and fold it over itself so that its edges line up. This should leave you with one round, folded end (probably too thick to crease at this point) and one open, fanned-out end. Now, all you need to do is put the napkin in your ring. Pull the ring up over the folded end of your napkin until it's about halfway up. Pull on the edges of the open end of your napkin to fan it out and display the accordion-ed folds. Congratulations! You're done. As usual, you can make a bold statement by simply putting this folded-up napkin in the center of your plate. You may also want to try putting the folded end in a skinny glass or champagne flute for an exotic, peacock-like arrangement.

SUMMARY: Crease your napkin in half. Accordion-fold your napkin. Fold the accordion-ed napkin in half. Insert the folded end into your ring.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Flip the neck of your jacket inside, pull the sleeves into the main body, and turn it inside out. This way, the outer fleece stays protected as you wash it. In addition, ensure there is nothing in the pockets of your jacket before you wash it. If you leave paper in the pockets, your jacket will get covered in lint, which is almost impossible to remove. To keep your fleece soft and water-resistant, purchase mild powdered detergent and review the instructions on the package regarding how much to use. For a small load, use around 5 ounces (141.8 g). Liquid detergent contains chemicals that strip away the waterproof coating on your fleece jacket. Turn your wash temperature to the "cold" setting before you start the load. If you use a warm wash setting, your fabric may start to pill. If you use a hot wash setting, the fabric may melt. Pour your powdered detergent into a small bowl, and add 5-10 drops of water to the bowl. Mix it up with a spoon to liquefy your detergent. This helps prevent cut down on extra soap residue when you wash your jacket. If you place the powdered detergent directly into the washing machine, it may be too concentrated and result in a lot of soap residue. If you notice an odd odor on your jacket, use baking soda along with your detergent to get rid of the smell. Mix about 2-4 tbsp (29.6 - 59.2 g) into your detergent mixture before pouring it into the washing machine. Baking soda is known to absorb unpleasant odors and works great when washing clothing. Press the "Start" button after you add your detergent. Then, come back after your wash cycle is completed. Most machines take 45-60 minutes to wash your clothing. If you are washing your fleece by itself or with a few items, use a light wash cycle. If you are washing a full load of laundry, use a larger wash cycle, based on the options listed on your particular machine. After your clothes are washed, open up your washing machine and pull out your fleece jacket. Place the jacket on a hanger and zip it up. Leave the jacket in a dry place for 1-2 hours so it can air dry. Avoid using the dryer when washing your fleece jacket. Even a light heat cycle can cause your fleece to pill, and the heat can damage your jacket. If you washed other clothing with your fleece, you can put them in the dryer.

SUMMARY: Turn the jacket inside out before you wash it. Use mild soap powder rather than liquid detergent. Use the lowest temperature setting to avoid damaging your jacket. Mix the mild powder detergent with some water to prevent soap residue. Add baking soda to your detergent mixture if your fleece smells funky. Pour your detergent mixture into the machine and start your wash cycle. Hang the jacket on a hanger and let it air dry.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The insoles are the cushioned pads inside your shoes. Grab the insoles and take them out of your shoes so they're able to dry faster. Keep the insoles in a sunny window or in front of a fan to prevent them from developing any odors or mold. If your shoe doesn't have insoles or you cannot remove them, then you can skip this step. However, it may take longer for your shoes to dry. You can use newspapers on any shoe style or material.

SUMMARY: Pull out your shoes' insoles and set them aside to dry.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Douches and feminine sprays are marketed towards women as products that promote cleanliness. The vagina, however, is a self-cleaning part of your body. Stay away from these types of products if you have vaginal dryness, as they can worsen the problem. Plain warm water is enough to clean your vagina. Don't use soap or other cleansers on the outside or inside of your vagina. Bubble bath, scented soaps and lotions, and laundry detergent can all worsen dryness because they contain harsh chemicals. Use plain, unscented products whenever possible. Try natural laundry detergent, and skip using dryer sheets. Public swimming areas contain high amounts of chlorine, which is very drying to your skin. Avoid spending a lot of time in pools and hot tubs, or at least rinse your vagina well with cool, plain water afterwards. Dehydration can contribute to vaginal dryness, so ensure you stay well hydrated throughout the day. Aim to drink 9 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids daily. Drink more if you sweat a lot, work out, or live in a hot climate. Water, juice, and tea count towards your fluids. Get regular exercise to help keep your hormones in balance. Aerobic workouts are those that increase your heart rate and breathing rate. Walking, slow jogging, biking, and swimming are good options. Aim to get at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity at least 5 days per week. Omega-3 fatty acids and products like flaxseed oil and soy have estrogen-like qualities, which may help improve vaginal dryness. Eat fatty fish like salmon or mackerel several times per week, and incorporate soy products into your diet. You can also try taking oral probiotics to improve vaginal health. Find these as capsules at your pharmacy, or eat yogurt with live cultures. Nicotine dependence can cause or worsen vaginal dryness. Stop smoking now to help improve your symptoms. Some antidepressants, cold medicine, and allergy pills can dry out mucous membranes including the sensitive skin in your vagina. Make a list of your medications to take to your doctor. Discuss whether any of your medicines might be worsening your problem, and whether you can switch to a different medication. Never stop taking your medicine without your doctor's supervision.

SUMMARY:
Avoid douching and using personal hygiene sprays. Stick to plain, fragrance-free products. Be cautious of hot tubs and swimming pools. Stay hydrated. Exercise regularly. Eat good fats and soy. Quit smoking. Stop taking medications that worsen the condition.
