Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Love yourself. Practice being kind to the people around you. Make plans. Make new friends and visit new places. Work on self-improvement. Be wary of rebounding.

Answer: Love in this case is a verb or set of actions. It may seem impossible to love yourself after the rejection of being left for someone else, but you can build up to it through small steps in your day to day life. Praise your strengths. Make a list of things you love about yourself. If you're having a hard time coming up with them because of how you feel, ask people you know love you, such as a parent or best friend. They will be able to point you in the right direction. A great way to receive love is to give it. If you have a friend in need, helping them will ultimately help you to feel better as well. Even small acts like baking someone a cake for their birthday or giving someone a ride will lift your spirits. People who do good deeds actually live longer and are healthier overall. Being kind reduces your stress and activates chemicals in the brain related to happiness and love. It can be easy to slide into a pit of sadness and end up avoiding people, but for a speedy recovery it's useful to make plans with people and engage in some level of activity, even if it's not as much as you would normally do. Plan friend-dates and other activities in advance so that you have them to look forward to, rather than relying on spur of the moment plans to emerge, which may just result in not getting anything done. Try to regularly have dinner with a friend during the week, so you'll have something consistent in your life. Even if you aren't feeling up to an activity, you may want to try it anyway. You never know how you'll feel once you're actually out doing things with people you like. Try to find a balance between staying in and going out that feels right to you. Trying new things can help you get out of the rut you're in. It's easy to focus on the past and get stuck there when you're dealing with a breakup, so put yourself out into the world and build new memories in order to create a new life for yourself. Even if you have a hard time enjoying the new activities or enjoying meeting new people, it can be better for you than ruminating on the breakup. Ask your friends to take you with them when they do things they love, like yoga or kayaking. Their enjoyment will be contagious and help you appreciate the moment too. Use this opportunity, where you have more free time and time to yourself. Join a gym and start a regular exercise program. Focus on making good grades in school. Practice skills that you are interested in, like playing an instrument or photography. This will help you feel better about yourself, and it will also raise your confidence so you'll be prepared to date again when the time comes. It helps to make a list of ways you would like to grow. Try to think of things you've always wanted to do but never had the time for, like learn to be a better writer or take up running. You may be tempted to jump from one relationship to the next, especially since the guy is already with someone else, but you should be careful about distracting yourself from what you're feeling by replacing him with someone else right away. Grieving the old relationship is an important step in your emotional growth, and if you fail to give yourself time you may end up bringing that emotional baggage into the new relationship, which can be a disaster. Not all rebound relationships are bad news, though. It depends on the quality of the match. If you find someone wonderful, there may be nothing wrong with "rebounding." It's only a problem when you don't actually like the person very much and you're only with them to feel less alone or ignore your pain.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase the right type of paint for your surface. Purchase the right type of primer and topcoat, if needed. Coat the surface with 1 to 2 coats of primer. Allow the primer to dry and cure. Apply your first coat of paint. Let the paint dry, then add a second layer, if needed. Allow the paint to cure completely.

Answer: A basic spray paint or latex-acrylic paint will do just fine on a decorative piece or a door. Polyurethane or epoxy paint are better suited to surfaces that will see a lot of heavy use, such as boats, bathtubs, and sinks. Polyurethane paint is ready to use. Epoxy paint must be mixed with a catalyst, just like epoxy resin. The catalyst is usually sold with the epoxy paint. Most polyurethane and epoxy paints do not require primers, but most spray paints and latex-acrylic paints do. If your paint requires a primer, make sure that you buy the same kind of primer and topcoat (i.e. spray paint primer for spray paint, oil-based primer and topcoat for oil-based paint, etc.). Check the label on the bucket or can of paint to find out if you need a primer and topcoat. Set the topcoat aside for later. If you are using the brush-on kind, simply apply it with a foam roller or a paintbrush. If you are using the spray-on kind, apply a light, even coat. Allow the primer to dry to the touch before applying a second coat. If your primer is not coming out evenly, apply it in short bursts rather than a single, sweeping, side-to-side motion. How long this takes depends on the product that you used. Some primers cure within a few hours while others take much longer. Just because the primer feels dry, that does not mean that it is cured and ready to be painted. Make sure to check the label. If you apply the paint before the primer finishes curing, the final surface may be tacky. If you are working with epoxy paint, you will need to mix the 2 parts together (epoxy and catalyst) first; other types of paint do not require any preparation. Apply the paint systematically, working from the right to the left (or left-to-right if you are left-handed), top-to-bottom. For more specific instructions: Brush-on paint: pour the paint onto a tray, then apply it with a foam roller first. Smooth it out with a fine-bristled paintbrush. Spray paint: apply the paint in short bursts, rather than one continuous, side-to-side motion. How much you use of each part for epoxy paint will vary from brand to brand. In most cases, it will be a 1-to-1 ratio, but read the label to be certain. How long the paint takes to dry depends on the type of paint that you are using. Spray paint and latex-acrylic paint have the fastest drying times, while polyurethane and epoxy paint have the slowest. Most types of epoxy and polyurethane paint will not require a second coating, but spray paint and latex-acrylic often do. Apply the paint using the same method as before. Once again, just because something feels dry to the touch does not mean that it is ready to use. Read the label on your paint can. Most paints will be dry to the touch within an hour or less, but it may take several hours or even a few days before you can use the item.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make pigtail braids. Wear box braids. Put micro braids or twists in pigtail buns.

Answer:
Use the end of a tail comb to part your hair down the center, separating all of your hair into two sections. Brush the sections and secure them with hair ties. Use two mirrors to check that the part is even in the back. Braid each pigtail, securing the ends with ribbon or hair ties a couple of inches from the bottom. Britney Spears' music video "Baby One More Time" made this schoolgirl hairstyle 90s famous! Add fuzzy pom pom hair elastics to the pigtails near your head to finish the look. You can achieve 90s hair with box braids in two ways. Box braid your hair and put on a "cabbie" (also called "applejack") hat like Janet Jackson in Poetic Justice. Alternately, box braid slightly damp hair and leave it in overnight. Braiding damp hair the night before will give you a hybrid between crimp and curl like Christina Aguilera in the 90's music video "What A Girl Wants." Micro braids take hours to do and are best done by a professional at a salon. If you already have micro braids, this look will be easy for you! If not, try a similar version of Brandy Norwood's iconic 90s side buns by putting your hair in twists first. Secure the braids or twists in buns, one on each side of your head. Micro braids and box braids can be done with natural hair or by adding extensions. Extensions will add fullness, length, and longevity to your style.
