article: Add one tablespoon (0.5 oz.) of aluminum sulfate to a small bucket of water. When the minerals clump and settle to the bottom, skim water off of the top with a cup or small container. Use the soft water to wash your face or take a sponge bath. If washing your face with tap water is having noticeably adverse effects on your skin (irritation or redness), make a point of using bottled water to wash it instead. While the cost may seem excessive, it may be worth the investment if your skin is particularly sensitive. Be sure to use enough water to rinse your face efficiently and prevent product buildup. Another alternative might be a no-rinse cleansing water, some of which both cleanse and moisturize. Using distilled water may also be a viable option. If you have access to a shower somewhere other than home (e.g. at the gym or swimming pool), take the opportunity to shower there as often as possible. Cutting back on the number of showers you take in hard water will minimize the overall damage to your skin. Make a point to bring your facial cleanser and wash your face there as well.

Write an article based on this "Exude optimism. Stay in control at all times. Serve your mentee a steady diet of the "feedback sandwich". Lay on the praise."
article: Being a mentor is a tough job, and so too is being mentored. It is common for mentees to be short on self-confidence to begin with, or to have their confidence shaken in the face of setbacks or criticism. As a mentor, be honest and realistic with your guidance and feedback, but do so with an air of optimism. Help your mentee believe that self-improvement is never out of reach. Even when difficulties arise, never act like your mentee is failing or will never comprehend your guidance. If they don't do so well at a task or exam or project related to your mentoring, keep smiling and offer to help them with what they got wrong. If they do do well, feel proud of what they have accomplished with your help and congratulate them. You might assume that only the mentee is apt to get upset or frustrated by poor results. However, you invest a lot into the relationship as a good mentor, and your own frustrations about not "getting through" to or adequately helping your mentee might cause you to project these emotions outwardly. Basically, you might be mad at yourself, but be tempted to direct this anger toward your mentee. Never, ever, curse at the learner, or say (or even intimate) that they are worthless or dim-witted. Not only will you crush their confidence, you will likely face sanctions if your mentorship has some sort of affiliation. Never let your frustrations get the best of you in front of your mentee. Take a break or make an excuse to cancel or cut a session short if necessary. Even if the problems are primarily the mentee's doing, steer clear of accusatory "you" statements; stick with "I" and "we" statements that focus on things you can work on together. For instance, don't say "If you would just pay attention to what I'm saying here."; try "I think we need to find better ways to communicate with each other." Start by complimenting them, identifying some of their strongest points. Then nicely lay out some areas they need to work on. Be direct, but not unkind. Finish it off with some further encouragement, projecting a positive outcome of future efforts. For instance: "The ideas you presented during yesterday's conference call were fantastic. We should continue to work on your poise and delivery, though, so that the full impact of what you're advocating for is felt by all. Just keep working hard and coming up with those great solutions, and before long you'll be the one running the conference calls!" Make sure they know that you believe in them, and that you are aware of their efforts and improvements. Don't withhold deserved praise, thinking that this withholding will help "toughen up" your mentee or stoke their motivation. When they've earned it, even for minor successes, give it to them. On the other side of the coin, don't manufacture false praise just for the sake of saying something nice. You risk losing your credibility if your false praise is transparent. If your mentee has given you little reason to offer praise, focus your energies on constructive criticism and responding to their questions.

article:
Dogs may exhibit unwanted behaviors due to a lack of exercise. If you make it a point to play with your dog regularly to expend his excess energy, he will likely be less interested in eating plants in the yard or in the house. Games that force the dog to move around a lot while you mostly stand still are best. They include fetching, frisbee catching/fetching, chasing a toy on a rope or stick that you move, catching bubbles, and many more. Be sure dogs have access to water during play. Always keep safety in mind when playing with your dog. Walking your dog not only gives him some great exercise, it also stimulates his mind because of unfamiliar sights and sounds you may encounter on the walk. Use an extendable leash that is retractable, giving the dog lots of room to investigate what he encounters. During the walk, try to walk faster than your normal pace for 30 minutes. Older or out-of-shape dogs may need to start with a shorter walk and work up to a faster, longer walk. Pay attention to signs that display rules for walking dogs in public areas. Be sure to clean up after your dog when when walking. For a more significant workout that will expend more of your dog's energy and hopefully discourage him from eating plants, try running your dog. You can run the dog by taking him with you on the leash while you are in-line skating or bicycling. Always be careful when running your doghe may have to learn to pay close attention to you during the run instead of stopping to smell things or relieve himself. Take regular breaks to allow him to relieve himself. Younger dogs whose bones are not fully formed may need some time to develop before a run is appropriate. Enlist the help of a dog trainer for leash training if your dog has trouble getting used to running.
