INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have an hourglass figure, your chest and hips are similarly proportioned. Your narrowest measurement is your waistline. When choosing lingerie, take advantage of your shape by choosing pieces that draw attention to your waistline. A great way to emphasize your waistline is with a suspender belt. Try pairing a suspender belt with a brief or bikini-style bottom. You can also buy matching sets that include a bra, panty, and belt. Or you can mix and match! Staying simple will draw attention to, and complement your curves and proportions. Try wearing a lace bra with a matching thong. This will highlight your balanced assets and draw attention to curves. Lingerie that cinches the waist is flattering for those with an hourglass body shape. Try a traditional lace-up corset for a bit of romantic flair. You can also take it up a notch with a bustier, which will also accentuate your waistline and add some pushup on top.

SUMMARY: Go for pieces that accentuate your waist. Try a suspender belt. Pair a simple bra with a high leg panty. Consider a corset.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pour the 2 products into a plastic or glass bowl and use a clean applicator brush to mix well. Generally, you'll need a 1:1 ratio of dye and developer, but some companies require a 1:2 ratio. Follow the instructions on the box for the best results! Don't use a metal bowl to mix the hair dye, since metal will oxidize and affect the color. Use the pointed end of your applicator brush to part your hair from front to back, then from ear to ear. Secure each section with a plastic clip and let down 1 section at a time while you're applying the dye, working from back to front. Don't use a metal clip to pin up your hair. The chemicals in dye products can react badly when they come into contact with metal, which can damage your hair and scalp. The brush gives you more control than a thin-tipped bottle and lets you push the color into the roots. Work in thin layers of hair, 1 section at a time, painting on both sides of the layer to fully saturate the hair. If you're only dyeing your roots, paint the dye only on grey hair and avoid touching your natural color as much as possible. Overlapping can create a dark line in your hair. If you're applying the dye to all of your hair, start with your roots and work your way down, painting the dye onto the entire strand. If you're creating highlights, paint the color onto various strands to blend it into the grey. If you're adding lowlights, unclip your bottom sections of hair. Either dye the whole bottom section or, for a more natural look, space out some dyed strands around the back of your head. Wrap the dyed hair in foil to keep it from touching the rest of your hair. Thinner sections of hair will look most natural. Use your applicator brush to push the dye toward the roots, getting as close to the scalp as you can without touching it. This will help you save money and time by stretching the time needed between touch-ups. Generally, you should only need about 8 weeks between root touch-ups. Although some manufacturer's instructions may vary, you should generally let the dye sit in your hair for 30 minutes. Set a timer to make sure you don't forget about it! If you're dyeing your whole head, you can keep the dyed hair off your shoulders by tucking it into a plastic cap. In a sink or shower, rinse the dye out with clean water. Find a comfortable, warm temperature that falls between cold, which won't be able to effectively rinse out the dye, and hot, which can actually pull dye out of the hair. Keep rinsing your hair until the water no longer has a dark tint. After rinsing, apply a color-protecting conditioner to seal your color. Use it according to the manufacturer's directions. Since grey hair is more sensitive, be very careful about drying it. Don't use a blow dryer, which can be very damaging on newly dyed hair. Instead, gently squeeze out the excess water with a towel and let it air-dry completely. Use an old towel, since any lingering excess dye may transfer to the material when you dry your hair.

SUMMARY: Mix the dye and developer according to the instructions on the box. Divide and clip up your hair into 4 sections. Paint the dye onto thin layers of hair with an applicator brush. Apply the dye as close to the roots' base as possible. Leave the dye on for 30 minutes or for the directed amount of time. Wash the dye out of your hair until the water runs clear. Towel-dry your hair lightly, then let it air-dry completely.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Have some ideas in mind to build your conversation upon. You may want to stay up on local news, music, radio, or movies.

For example, if you know she has a cat, ask her about it. If you attend a club together, ask her why she joined it. Decide when you will talk to her. You may want to go up to her after class or after school. Maybe you want to approach her during lunchtime. If you see each other outside of school, talk to her then. Make sure that she looks relaxed and not in a hurry. Also, make sure you feel confident and have time for a conversation. If you know she's rushing off to something, choose a different time to talk to her. Make sure she has some time for a brief conversation. If you're feeling nervous or anxious, spend a little time relaxing. Notice how you feel: do you have a knot in your stomach? Is your throat tense? Are you shaky? Focus on relaxing any tension in your body. Go for a walk or do some exercise. Find healthy things that help you feel relaxed and not stressed. Use calm breathing to help ease your tension or anxiety. Breathe in through your nose for about four seconds, then hold your breath for one to two seconds. Exhale slowly out of your mouth for four seconds. Do about six to eight cycles of calm breathing and you'll likely feel less nervous.

SUMMARY:
Prepare some conversation topics. Choose a good time. Relax.
