Problem: Article: It's in most people's nature to put off things they don't want to do. However, you should apologize sooner rather than later. If you wait, your guy is only going to get angrier or more hurt. Don't try to apologize when your guy is sitting down to a football game or reading a good book. Choose a time when he's not distracted by something else, and ask if you can talk. If he already knows what you've done, he probably can guess what the conversation will be about. If you need to confess, it might not be as easy for him to guess. That means that you convey with your tone and attitude that you are sincerely sorry for what you did. Don't try to laugh it away, or play it off with a joke. Look him in the eye, and with a serious tone, say you're sorry. For instance, you could say, "I'm truly, truly sorry about what I did." Also, you need to accept that what you did was wrong in the presence of your guy. That means naming what you did wrong to acknowledge that you know what you did. As an example, you could say, "I know that when I made a joke at your expense I hurt your feelings. I should've thought before I spoke. I know you're sensitive about that issue." Finally, you have to acknowledge how you could do better in the future. This part is how you start to make the situation better. You can't take back what you did, but you can talk about how you intend to change your behavior in the future. As the end of the apology, you could say, "Next time, I'll try to bite my tongue before I speak. You deserve better from me. I love and respect you, and I want to show you that with my actions." If this conversation is the first he's heard about it, he's probably going to be angry. Let him give voice to his anger, but don't try to offer a defense. He needs a chance to talk about it. Even if he did know about what you're apologizing about, he still needs a chance to talk about what he's feeling and why. Give him an opportunity to speak about why what you did hurt him. You can give him a space to talk by saying, "How do you feel about what I've said?" Finally, show that you understand what he's feeling. Show you are listening and that you understand why he's upset. One way you can show you're listening is by repeating back what he's said. That is, you can say, "What I hear you saying is that me making jokes like that makes you feel belittled and disrespected. I totally understand that, and you are totally valid in feeling that way."
Summary: Don't put it off. Pick a good time. Show regret. Take responsibility. Talk about how you could do better. Let him respond. Acknowledge his feelings.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Go through your closet periodically and decide what you want to keep. Consider taking out anything you haven't worn in over a year. These items just take up space in your closet, but you can put them to good use. If you don't want to throw these clothes away, you can store them in a suitcase or a box. If a time comes when you decide to wear it again, you can go through storage to retrieve it instead of allowing it to take up closet space. If your clothes don't fit anymore, you can always sell them for a low price at a yard sale. If you don't have enough for a whole yard sale, you can see if you can get some money back for them at Plato's Closet or another thrift store. Even if your clothes are ripped, some people use ripped t-shirts and clothing for other DIY crafts. Lightly used clothing that doesn't fit or you don't like anymore can be donated to stores like Goodwill. There are also clothing donations outside of select Walmarts across the country. This is a good way to help those in need, especially in colder weather. Be sure to get a receipt when you donate to Goodwill or other donations. Charitable donations are tax-deductible!

SUMMARY: De-clutter. Have a yard sale. Give old clothes to Goodwill.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Don't play hard to get -- Cancer will probably think you're not interested and don't care about them. If they seem to be feeling a bit insecure about themselves or the relationship, don't hesitate to comfort them. They'd do the same for you! They will not tolerate a temper on your behalf. If you get angry or upset at the little things, they'll think you're not being rational and seeing the big picture. If you get too angry at them, they'll think you don't care. They can be quite sensitive when they feel vulnerable. Cancers put a lot of weight in words. If you offer them a declaration of love, they'll take it as a declaration of love. So mean what you say. If you want to get a Cancer in bed, don't tell them you love them. Don't sugarcoat. It won't get you anywhere! If you don't mean what you say, they'll probably see through it anyway and deem you a liar. While you may not view it as lying, they will. So choose your words wisely. Cancer will remember what you say! Cancer may not be open with you initially, but once you get under the shell, they'll expose their inner selves to you and expect honesty that rivals their own. So be direct! Let them know how you feel. You'd appreciate the same behavior back, wouldn't you? Cancer is the crab. They have a hard exterior that's very difficult to crack through, but underneath is a person that's sensitive and emotional. They can at times come off very weak, but also be strong and independent. In short, they're a very dynamic, unpredictable sign. Can you keep up? They are very complex and can be quite fragile. Upset a Cancer and they'll be upset for days. When they feel safe and loved they are incredibly successful, wonderful human beings. When they feel vulnerable, they shut down and clam up. It's up to you to draw out the greatness inside them.
Summary: Always be reassuring. Mean what you say. Be direct. Sort through their bundle of complexities.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Scoop up a small amount of reddish-brown or reddish-purple cream blush on your fingertip and underline each eye from one corner to the other. Blend the color downward until it fades into the skin just above your cheekbones. Instant tired eyes! Keep the blush confined to your lower eyelid. If you blend it any lower, it may start to look fishy. You could also use a brow or eyeliner pencil, though this might be tougher to smudge properly. Place a small dot at the outer corners of both eyes. Use the tip of your finger or a cotton swab to smudge the makeup around the edges and up under the lids. Red, swollen eyes are a clear sign that you've been crying, sneezing uncontrollably, or suffering from a lack of sleep. Avoid blending the blush or lipstick into the product you used to draw on your eye circles. Too much color in the same area may come off looking raccoon-like and unnatural. Rather than filling in your entire lid, leave about half an inch exposed just beneath your lower lashes. The uncovered skin will look puffy and swollen as a result. Make sure you've contoured your eyes carefully with the cream blush or brow pencil. Otherwise, your eye bags won't look very real. Squeeze 1-2 drops of regular saline into each eye and blink a few times. This is a harmless way to temporarily puff up your eyes like you've been dealing with wicked allergies. Be careful not to use so much that you get teary. All that hard work will have been for nothing if your eye makeup runs.
Summary:
Draw dark circles under your eyes. Rim your eyes with red cream blush or lipstick. Leave your bottom eyelid exposed to create the effect of eye bags. Use eye drops for a bloodshot stare.
