INPUT ARTICLE: Article: During this transitional state of your life, it's important to take good care of yourself. Spend time with good friends who support you. Listen to soothing music while taking a warm, bubble bath. Spend a leisurely afternoon shopping in your favorite boutique. Hibernate at home with healthy snacks and a good book. It doesn't matter what you do. Simply engage in activities and be around people that pour into your cup rather than taking from it. Be gentle with yourself and indulge in your favorite pastimes. You might think that a pint of ice cream will soothe your woes. An indulgence here or there is fine, but too many indulgences can leave you feeling guilty later. Make a commitment to avoid self-sabotaging behaviors and eat healthy instead. Fuel your body with real, whole foods like lean proteins, veggies, fruits, and whole grains while avoiding processed, sugary, and salty foods. A healthy diet can improve your mood. In some ways, exercise can be one of the best forms of therapy. You start a session feeling somber and down, and 30 minutes later you are bounding with energy and enthusiasm. Take advantage of nature's feel-good chemicals, endorphins, and schedule regular physical activity into your day. Double the benefits by asking a friend to come along when you work out, or joining a group fitness class. Being with others who are in a bright mood can also influence you to feel better. If you notice that no matter how many strides you take to move on, you keep returning to the past, you may need to forgive. Holding on to bitterness or resentments against your boyfriend can keep you from fully recovering after being dumped. You can reach a place of forgiveness by trying to understand your ex's reasoning. Have you ever been in a bad situation and didn't really know how to get out of it? Have you ever handled a situation badly and ended up hurting someone? This is not to say that what happened to you was right, but allowing yourself to at least empathize with your ex can help you find emotional closure. Another method is to write a letter. You might start by simply outlining the break-up from your point of view. Then, you can move into your thoughts, feelings, and the way you reacted to being dumped. Feel free to express any anger or resentment in the letter. Get it off your chest. Finally, close the letter by telling your ex that you are choosing to forgive and move on (this doesn't mean you are forgetting!). Afterwards, you can burn the letter or shred it to pieces.

SUMMARY: Nurture yourself. Eat well. Stay active. Strive to forgive.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Start with a large piece of fabric, such as an old pillowcase or a towel. Use cloth scissors to cut strips about 2in (5.1cm) wide and 8in (20cm) long. If you don't have an old pillowcase or towel, any large piece of fabric will do. People usually use cotton or terrycloth for the material, but you can use any fabric that you have. Old t-shirts work well for this purpose. If you think you'd like to reuse your curling rags one day, sew seams into them on the sides and ends with your sewing machine. This will prevent the rags from fraying and allow you to wash them. To make sure your hair curls evenly, you want to remove any tangles from it. Use your regular comb or brush to remove all the tangles. If your hair is very knotted, spray it lightly with a leave-in conditioner or detangling solution to get the knots out. Sea salt will help your hair have some extra texture and make it easier for the curls to stay in. Just coat your hair with enough spray until it's damp. Don't start rolling your hair up when it's dripping wet. If you don't have sea salt spray, you can use plain water instead. Sea salt helps the curls set better, but your hair needs to be damp before you start rolling regardless of what you use. Alternatively, you can use a little mousse or setting lotion to help your curls set.
Summary: Cut 10-20 strips of fabric in 2in 8in (5.1cm 20.3cm) pieces. Sew seams into the fabric if you'd like to reuse them. Comb or brush your hair free of tangles. Dampen your hair with a sea salt spray.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Usually, "nor" follows "neither" in the same sentence, as in, "neither A nor B." Together, this neither/nor structure forms something known as a correlative pair. This means that the information one term introduces is connected or related to the information the other term introduces. The two terms can be applied when discussing actions or they can be used when listing nouns. For instance, "He neither listens to music nor plays it," or "Alex likes neither candy nor cake." "Neither" can also start a sentence. As an example, "Neither Sarah nor Jim can make it to the party on Saturday." On the other hand, either/or shows when something does occur. For example, "Alex wants either candy or cake." Notice how this sentence tells us that Alex likes both of these things and will eat either, where as the neither/nor sentence told us that Alex doesn't like both of them. Typically, the neither/nor structure is only used when drawing a negative connection between two objects or actions. You can use "nor" when talking about more than two ideas, though, but you need to repeat the word "nor" after each item in your list. Note that "neither" is only used once, no matter how many times you use "nor." Do not merely separate the items in your list by commas. Correct example: "The store had neither peanut butter nor jelly nor bread. Incorrect example: "The store had neither peanut butter, jelly, nor bread." Parallel structure, as it applies to the neither/nor form, means that both halves of phrase need to match each other in regards to the information being described. In other words, you cannot follow "neither" with a verb action and "nor" with a noun, or vice versa. Both most either introduce a verb or introduce a noun. Correct example: "We saw neither Gwen nor Eric during our trip. Correct example: "We neither saw Gwen nor spoke to Eric during our trip." Incorrect example: "We neither saw Gwen nor Eric during our trip." " The terms "either" and "neither" are used in similar manners, but "either" is positive while "neither" is negative. As such, you must pair the negative "neither" with the negative "nor" and the positive "either" with the positive "or." Just as "neither" is always paired with "nor," "either" is always paired with "or." Correct example: "Neither James nor Rebecca is interested in basketball." Correct example: "Either eat your vegetables or skip your dessert." Incorrect example: "I neither know the rules of the game or care to know." Incorrect example: "I will either go to the library or take a nap."

SUMMARY:
Follow "neither" with "nor" within a sentence. Use "nor" multiple times within a list. Keep your "neither" and "nor" parallel. Do not use "nor" with "either.
