INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are reading this, then you are old enough to receive an allowance. Good news! Experts report that it is useful to start teaching children about financial responsibility as early as kindergarten. Studies show that kids who earn an allowance better understand the value of hard work. An allowance also teaches independence. When a child has their own money, they feel more in control of choices, such as what to spend that money on. For example, explain to your parents that you will be able to purchase your own video games, with their permission, of course. Gather some information, such as average allowance amounts, and how often most parents give their kids a set allowance. Most kids receive an allowance each week. Try asking your parents for a dollar for each year you have been alive. For example, if you are 10 years old, you would get $10 a week. Ask your friends and classmates if they receive an allowance, and if so, how much. You can use this information when you make your case to your parents. Your parents will be more likely to listen if you can clearly explain why you need an allowance. Make a list of the things that you are likely to spend money on. Find out how much those items cost. This will give you a good idea of a specific amount of money to request from your parents. If you are new to making a budget, there are tools that you can use to help you. Look for free apps that you can put on your phone, or online programs that you can use. After you successfully receive your allowance, these tools can also help you keep track of your spending. When you are listing budget items, make sure that you set aside some money for savings. Whether you intend to use your savings for a new bike or for college, your parents will appreciate that you are thinking ahead. Giving kids an allowance is a great way to teach kids financial responsibility. This is one of the key points that you should make when you are asking your parents for an allowance. There are also many other positive points that you can add to your request. Make a list of them as you prepare so that you don't forget any. Point out that financial responsibility leads to overall responsibility. When you learn to be in charge of one area of your life (such as buying your own video games), it is only natural that you will start to take on additional responsibilities. Allowances can be used to teach social responsibility. Consider telling your parents that you would like to set aside a small portion of your allowance to give to charity. For example, if you love dogs, you could make small donations to your local animal shelter. If you have an allowance, you won't have to ask your parents every time you want something. This could be seen as a major benefit for both you and your folks!

SUMMARY: Do some research. Prepare a budget. List the benefits.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You'll need light brown cream eyeliner (a few shades darker than your natural skintone), a blush brush or beauty blender, and a cotton ball. Do not use liquid eyeliner; it smudges easily and looks less natural.
Summary: Collect your materials.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you do plan to tease your hair, you should do so in small sections to create the most volume. Depending on the amount of hair you have, you should plan on dividing the bump section into three or four layers. You will tease the two to three bottom layers of this hair, but leave the section closest to your face un-teased. You may want to separate the front section of your bump (the part that won't be teased) now in order to avoid accidentally pulling it into one of the other sections. You can twist it off to the side and secure it with a bobby pin to keep to separated. Hold the bump section of your hair straight up and separate the bottom layer of hair for teasing. You can let the other layers of the bump fall forward or to the side, but keep holding the layer you are working with straight up. To tease, use your other hand to comb your hair backwards from the ends to the roots with a fine-toothed comb. Before letting go of your hair, spray underneath this layer with some hairspray. It's best to allow your hairspray to set for approximately five to 10 seconds before you release your hair. Then you can gently flip the portion of hair back toward the back of your head. Once you're done teasing, your hair should have quite a bit of volume to it. If you want it to stand up even higher, tease it some more. Don't worry if it looks messy, as you will be combing un-teased hair on top of it. You shouldn't need to use very much hairspray. A quick spray should be fine. Once the first layer of your bump has been teased, continue using the same method to tease the remaining layers. (You will have one or two more layers, depending on the thickness of your hair.) Remember to keep the front section of your bump separated and un-teased. Keep in mind that the more you tease your hair, the sturdier your bump will be, but your hair will also be knottier. This step is optional, but some people like to create their hair bump with the help of a bump tool. Bump tools are small pieces of plastic that you can place between the teased layers of your hair to add more volume to your bump hairstyle. They are available online and at many retail stores. They come in different sizes to create large and small bumps. To insert the bump tool, simply separate the teased section of your hair into two halves and place the bump tool on your scalp between the two layers, right near the roots of your hair. You may have to wiggle the bump tool a little to help the plastic teeth stick to your hair. Use your fingers to spread out the top section of your teased hair so that it completely covers the bump tool. The bump tool should be hidden by your hair. You can use a comb to lightly comb your hair over the bump tool, and spray a little bit of hairspray to keep everything in place. Your teased hair covering the bump tool doesn't need to look perfect because you are going to cover it with your un-teased portion of hair. Whether you use a bump tool or not, when all of your teased portions of hair are flipped back, flip the smooth, un-teased section of hair over the teased portions. The teased portions of your hair will be poofed up and high. (That is where the bump look comes from.) Use your fingers to evenly spread your hair out, and lightly comb over your hair to smooth everything over. Don't comb over your smooth portion of hair using a lot of pressure, or you may flatten out your voluminous bump. When you are satisfied with your bump, insert bobby pins at the base of the bump from both the right and left sides to secure it in place. You may want to use two or more bobby pins on each side to make sure your bump doesn't move around. You can use an elastic hair tie to secure the bump, but bobby pins allow your hair to naturally fall down the back of your head, whereas a hair tie will put your hair in a small ponytail. To get more height in your bump, consider pinching the base of the bump, and pushing the bump forward slightly, to give it more height. Your hairstyle can be complete with a bump as is, or you can curl the ends of your hair to give your style a softer look.

SUMMARY:
Section out your hair for teasing. Start teasing the first section. Continue teasing your hair section by section. Consider adding in a bump tool. Cover the teased hair with smooth hair. Secure your bump.
