In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It is common in such relationships to see your partner through rose-colored glasses. We have a tendency to maintain fantasies about what a person is like in the hopes of them someday coming true. We also may create fantasy narratives about the relationship that we tell other people. Accept reality about your partner. Instead of saying, "He's not that bad; he bought me a necklace for my birthday", tell yourself the truth about your partner: "She pretends to be jealous about other people I hang out with so I end up only hanging out with her" or "She often keeps me from seeing my family." If the relationship - platonic or romantic - causes you to feel powerless or controlled, you need to admit this to yourself. Don't pretend everything is going well just to maintain the attachment. Magnification (blowing things out of proportion) and minimization (seeing things as less important than they are) are common cognitive distortions, unhelpful ways of thinking that we can slip into unawares. If you find yourself constantly looking for excuses or dismissing things as "not that bad," you may be using these distortions to justify staying in the relationship. Connections may include things such as finances, housing or work projects. Understand that you will need to give yourself extra time to break these connections. Also, ask yourself if your relationship addiction is based on the conveniences available to you by being with that person. Change your bank account and start receiving paychecks to the new account if you are sharing funds with this person. Look for a new place to rent or live on a temporary basis if the unhealthy attachment is a roommate. Remove alcohol, drugs, food, sex or other triggers that may be tempting you to stay in an addictive situation. In order to counteract the negative energy and feedback you have been getting in an addictive relationship, you must replace it with positive feedback from other sources. Renew connections now and surround yourself with thriving individuals who value what you have to offer. If you have been ignoring yourself because of a personal addiction, try picking up a hobby, starting to train for a fitness event or going for a promotion at work. If you start working on yourself, you will be able to clearly see how disconnected you have become in an addictive relationship. Start each bullet point with "I want..." or "I would like..." so that you can start separating personal desires from relationship desires. These desires can range from wanting to visit Italy to getting a new haircut or color. Focus only on you while you break away from a love addiction.
Summary: Pinpoint which parts of your addictive relationship are fantasy and which are reality. Break the physical connections you have to that person. Plan activities with positive people in your life. Set personal goals. Make a list of your independent desires.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Many professionals recommend massaging oil into your scalp while you massage it. This not only stimulates your hair follicles but also nourishes your scalp and roots. If you don't use oil, you may end up tugging or tangling your hair. Recommended oils include: Coconut oil Jojoba oil Olive oil Almond oil Egg oil (eyova) Avocado oil Castor oil You have a few options here, mainly depending on whether you would like to incorporate oil into your scalp massage. In the shower while shampooing (no oil necessary) Before showering Before bed If you would like to massage your scalp with an oil, then warm a small amount of it. You can warm it with boiling hot water, or you can melt it in a saucepan over low heat. No more than one tablespoon of oil is recommended. The pads of your fingertips massage and stimulate blood flow to your scalp. If you are using oil, then dip your fingertips into the warmed oil before placing them on your scalp. Then, massage the oil into your scalp in small circles. Use only a minimum amount of oil to avoid making your hair too greasy. You can part your hair into sections, and massage each section for about one minute, or you can just work your way slowly all around your head. Use a variety of touches and movements. Try tapping, kneading, stroking, and rubbing your scalp. Some methods suggest flipping your head upside down while massaging to further stimulate blood flow to the scalp. This is not a proven method, so try it with caution, especially if you have health conditions such as pregnancy or frequent dizziness. Wrapping your hair gives the oil time to absorb into your follicles and hair shafts, providing extra nourishing power. Allow your hair to stay wrapped, absorbing the oil, for up to two hours. Heavy bath towels tend to cause hair breakage, so good alternatives for wrapping your hair include old cotton t-shirts or light microfiber towels. This step is not necessary if you did not use oil while massaging your scalp. These can be bought from drug stores or beauty stores. These tools will massage your scalp for you without the need for oil. Some may require batteries. It is not recommended to do scalp massages daily, as washing the oil out of your hair daily can dry it out. Instead, limit yourself to two or three times a week. You can do both dry scalp massages and scalp massages while you shampoo or condition your hair in the shower.
Summary: Choose if you would like to include oil in your scalp massage. Decide when you would like to do a scalp massage. Warm a small amount of your chosen oil in a ramekin. Place your fingertips on your scalp and begin to massage in small circles. Massage all over your scalp for up to five minutes. Wrap your head in an old t-shirt, light towel, or shower cap. Use a store-bought scalp massager if you don't want to use oils. Repeat two to three times a week.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: onto the cupcakes. Hold the tip of the piping bag and gently squeeze so some of the icing comes out. Squeeze from the top of the bag, gradually working down as you use the frosting. Try to pipe a peak onto the top of each cupcake. Start with just a little icing on each cupcake to ensure you have enough to frost each one, then go back and add more. Try to divide the frosting evenly across all 12 cupcakes. This should be about 2 tbsp (32 g). If you have different tips for your piping bag, a star tip really emphasizes the glowing effect! In order to ensure the cupcakes are sturdy enough to dip in your glow-in-the-dark concoction, they need to be chilled. Leave the cupcakes in the freezer for at least an hour, or you can leave them in overnight if you want. When the cupcakes are ready, the frosting should be hard to the touch.
Summary:
Pipe the icing Put the cupcakes in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
