Summarize the following:
If not, then don't end things. You need to mentally consider this as a break-up. Don't try and let someone down easy as an excuse to "keep your options open." Either you break up or you don't. Playing games with someone's emotions isn't fair or gentle. If you hope that you can get them to break up with you, then don't try and let them down gently. You can't expect them to do the work for you -- you need to end things yourself. If they don't pick up on the hints or being gentle doesn't work, you need to be ready to step in and end the relationship firmly. Your goals when splitting away from someone are important. If you don't want to see someone again, then you should just end the relationship quickly and kindly. If you're just trying to slow thing down a bit, a gentle let down is more appropriate. A gentle let down can give someone the impression that you may want to rekindle things later in life. If you don't want this, end it quickly. If you're being gentle because you are worried about your safety, just end things quickly. Don't worry about being gentle. If you're worried about their reaction, bring a trusted friend along. If you've had some disagreements lately and just need some space, you should let them down gently, allowing you to resume friendship when the dust has settled. All relationships have ups and downs, and it is easy to forget about the good times when you're in the bad. If you're trying to let her down because you've hit a rough patch, ask yourself if you really dislike her or just dislike your current state. Don't rush into this decision. Wait 2-3 weeks to see if your feelings change. Try writing a list of pros and cons to help clarify your decision. Use this to see if there are things you can adjust rather than simply ending the relationship. Many people like the "gentle let down" because it lets you change your mind later on. If you do keep changing your mind, however, you are likely in a short lull, not some relationship crisis. If you keep having the same old fights every day, then you should consider ending it once and for all. While your gentle intentions are noble, and you still care for their feelings, ask yourself if you're really making things better with a protracted split. Sometimes you just need to rip the Band-Aid off. If you know that they're emotionally invested in your relationship and don't want things to end, you're not going to be gentle no matter what you do. Don't prolong this more than necessary. If he seems distant as well, and you just don't feel the spark anymore, you should go ahead and let him down nice and gently. If you've realized that this isn't fair, or isn't the best way to end things, you should weigh your other options. Consider: Ending a manipulative or abusive relationship. Ending a Friendship. Breaking up. Rekindling the relationship.

summary: Are you sure that you want to end the relationship? Are you trying to break contact completely, or just return to friendship? Is your relationship in a lull, or fatally flawed? Would a quick, clean break up be better for everyone? What can you do instead of a gentle let down?

Pour cup (59.14 ml) of your carrier oil into a measuring cup. If you are using water and alcohol, pour cup (59.14 ml) of water and add 1 teaspoon (4.92 ml) of the alcohol of your choice, then mix. You can slightly alter the amount of carrier oil if you are using a small container, but keep in mind that the ratio of carrier oil to essential oil should be about 85 to 15. For instance, for a small container you could reduce the ratio to 17:1. If you want a strongly scented reed diffuser, make the ratio around 75 to 25. Keep in mind that the water and vodka mixture evaporates at a faster rate than carrier oil, so you will have to refill it more. Add 25-30 drops of the essential oil or oils of your choice into the measuring cup. If you are using two different oils, add 15 drops of one oil and 15 drops of the other. Gently swirl the oil mixture within the measuring cup to blend the oils by moving the measuring cup in circles, or use a spoon to stir and blend the oils together. Carefully pour the oil mixture into the container with the narrow opening that you purchased. If your measuring cup does not have a spout, you may want to use a funnel to help transfer the liquid into the container. Add about 4-8 reed sticks into the container. Fan the reed sticks out instead of leaning them all to one side of the rim so that they can work more effectively.

summary: Measure out cup of carrier oil. Add 25 to 30 drops of essential oil. Stir to combine the oil. Pour the oil mixture into the container. Add the reed sticks.

To make sure that you bring the products that you need -- and don't overpack -- think about your daily skincare and grooming routine and make a mental note of each product that you use. Pack just those items to avoid bringing products that you really don't need. Don't forget to include tools that you might need, such as cotton balls or cotton swabs. You don't necessarily need to bring every toiletry that you use in your daily routine on your trip. For example, even if you use hairspray everyday to tame your hair for work, you may not need it on a relaxed beach vacation. Cut out any products that aren't necessities. Keep in mind that most hotels provide shampoo, conditioner, and soap, so you may not need to pack those items. The only time you might need to switch up products is if you're visiting an area that's a different climate from where you live. For example, if you're visiting a different hemisphere, the seasons may be different, so you may need a more intense moisturizer for cold, dry weather or plenty of sunscreen for warm, sunny weather. If you're traveling by plane and want to pack your toiletries in your carry-on bag, it's important to consider airport security guidelines in terms of what you can bring and how to pack it. Most airports allows you to bring a quart size (0.95 l) plastic bag with liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes as long as they're limited to 3.4 ounces (100 ml) per item. Check with the airports that you're traveling through to determine their guidelines to ensure that you pack your toiletries appropriately for security checks. You'll have an easier time packing your toiletries if you have a dedicated bag for them. A bag with compartments is especially convenient because it allows you to organize your products, and prevents spills and leaks from getting all over the inside of the bag.
summary: Go through your daily routine for products that you use. Eliminate unnecessary or luxury items. Include additional products based on your destination. Check airplane carry-on rules online to confirm. Invest in a compartmentalized toiletry bag.
