Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a tank-top. Cut the back. Cut the center. Wrap the top. Buy or make bottoms. Enjoy your new suit!

Answer: Get a tank top or camisole. The stretchier the fabric, the better. Use a seam ripper to remove the side seams up to about 4" below the armpit. Then, cut the back panel below this line, leaving the front panel intact. Cut a single line down the center of the front panel, from the hem until about 2" from the neckline. Place your arms through the arm holes, crisscross the sides of the front panels, and then tie the ends behind you. You can buy bottoms to match your top (many stores sell them separately) or you can follow the teekini instructions in the previous section to make your own bottoms. You're done! Put on your new bikini and enjoy the sun!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: . Buy bare root or potted roses. Get rose gardening supplies.

Answer: Choose rose varieties. Did you know there are 13,000 varieties of roses? Some roses grow better in certain regions than in others. When you're choosing what type of rose to grow, take some time to research the specifics of your growing region, then look for roses that have characteristics you find appealing. Take their shape, size, and color into account when choosing varieties to grow. Roses fall into the following categories: Hybrid tea roses are beautifully shaped, colorful roses that often make appearances in flower shops and as part of bouquets. Floribunda roses are the most colorful of all the varieties. Each bush has many blossoms, rather than just one to a stem. Grandiflora roses are a cross between the hybrid tea and Floribunda roses, and they grow to be quite tall with several rose clusters to a stem. Climber roses can be trained to stretch vine-like along fences and walls. Miniature roses are intricate and tiny, perfect for planting in a container. Shrub and landscape roses are quite hardy, resistant to pests and disease. They come in many colors, shapes and sizes. Tree roses are roses that have been grafted to a long stem, giving them the appearance of trees. They require a bit more care than some of the other types of roses. Once you've picked out the types of roses you want to plant, decide in what form you want to buy them. Bare roots are the roots of roses that are planted directly into the ground. You can also buy young roses that have already been planted in a small pot, and transplant them to the ground or another pot. Either type may be purchased in a nursery. Rare rose varieties may be found online. Bare root roses are planted in early spring, giving them time to take root before sprouting several weeks later when the weather warms up. Potted roses can be kept inside during the winter, then placed outside in the spring. Aside from the bare root or potted plant itself, you'll need a few other supplies to get your rose garden started. Go to your local nursery or check out online retailers to pick up the following: Pruning shears. Pruning roses keeps them healthy, promotes the growth of blooms, and keeps them in a pretty shape. Shears are essential equipment for growing roses. Get small curved-edge shears and larger lopping shears. Gardening gloves. Protect yourself from thorns with a thick pair of gloves. Fertilizer. Roses should be fed with fertilizer a few times a season. You can buy fertilizer specifically formulated for roses, but this is not strictly necessary. Mulch. Mulching rose beds can help keep pests away and distribute more nutrients to the roses. Get wood chips, pine needles, peat nuggets, or another type of mulch suitable for your area. Compost or rose planting mix. Mixing this with the soil when you plant the roses helps them grow. A shovel and spade. You'll need these to dig holes when you plant the roses.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply beeswax. Choose lip balm with caution. Try lip moisturizers. Apply natural treatments. Make homemade lip balm. Exfoliate gently. Consider flaxseed oil.

Answer: This single-ingredient product is a safe and effective way to lock in moisture and prevent further drying. Most lip balm products with additional ingredients cannot make the same guarantee. You'd think any lip balm would work, since it's designed for this exact problem. Unfortunately, products that contain menthol, camphor, or peppermint are particularly harsh on damaged lips. Avoid purchasing products with these items listed as ingredients. Many dermatologists recommend petroleum jelly (Vaseline), but some disagree, stating that it may cause harm. Unlike lip balms, which seal in moisture to prevent drying, lip moisturizers try to rehydrate directly. Some dermatologists recommend moisturizers that contain vitamins A, B, and E, or dimethicone. It's best when used right after a shower, as water, shampoo, and soap can dry out already damaged lips. All-natural lip balms and moisturizers can be effective, but many claims are not supported by evidence. In general, waxes and fats are likely to help seal in moisture, including beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, cocoa butter, and vegetable oils. However, essential oils and fragrances are more likely to irritate your lips than soothe them, and can even cause a major reaction. If you're not interested in buying products from a store, you can use items housed in your kitchen for relief. Keep in mind that most of these recipes are not vetted by professionals. It's best to stick to simple ingredients and avoid essential oils, or dilute them to 2% strength or less. To make a simple lip balm, take a cup of shaved beeswax, 3 tablespoons of coconut oil, and a teaspoon of vitamin E oil and boil them together over the stove. Remove from heat and let the concoction dry and solidify overnight. A gentle exfoliant may help your lips, but too much can easily cause harm. Try applying a mixture of olive oil, honey, and sugar to your lips for 10 minutes and then washing it off. This should moisturize and soften your lips, but stop if you notice further damage. Some websites claim flaxseed oil helps heal chapped lips by restoring essential fatty acids. This may or may not work, but be aware that flax can have dangerous effects if you have certain medical conditions, or an allergic reaction. If you decide to use it, you may apply a small dab of flaxseed oil directly to your lips. Flaxseed oil can also be used as an ingredient in dressings, salsa, and dips. You can also add a drop to foods like cottage cheese, baked potatoes, and popcorn. Be careful. Flaxseed oil does not last long, so make sure to use it within the first three months of purchase.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut the ivy into sections. Roll the sections off the ground. Use herbicides as an alternative. Use mulch to contain ivy you want to keep.

Answer:
Cut lines through the ivy along the ground in order to divide it into large sections. This will make it much easier to remove the ivy from the ground. Pull the sections apart from one another as you cut. Work carefully around plants and saplings you want to keep. If you're working on a hill, cut vertical lines from the top of the hill to the bottom to create sections that you can roll downhill. Lift the edge of one section of ivy and roll it forward on top of itself. Keep rolling the ivy forward until the entire section has been rolled up into a big log of ivy. Move the log to a separate area and continue rolling up sections until you've cleared the area. Mulching the ivy rolls is the best way to dispose of them and ensure they won't take root in the area again. English ivy is difficult to kill with herbicides alone because the plant's leaves contain a waxy barrier that is difficult for products to penetrate. Therefore, the most effective method is to combine manual removal with the use of a herbicide. Glyphosate is the chemical that works most effectively to kill English ivy. Spray the area of ivy you wish to kill, but be careful the glyphosate doesn't reach other plants you want to keep. Herbicides are slow-acting, and must be reapplied every six weeks or so. If you have a patch of ivy you want to preserve, but you'd like to prevent it from spreading, you can use mulch to keep it contained. Simply cover the border of the ivy you want to keep with several inches (about 7 to 8 inches) of shredded or wood chip mulch. You will need to give this method some time; leave the mulch on the ivy for at least 2 seasons. You may need to add new mulch one or more times during a growing season. Another option is to trim the ivy back to contain it. Use a weed eater or edging tool to cut the vines along the border.
