Problem: Article: The first thing to do is remove any polish that's already on your nails. Soak a cotton ball with nail polish remover and run it over your nails until all the polish is gone. A Q-Tip can help with hard-to-reach edges. When choosing nail polish remover, be aware that those with acetone are more effective, but also more likely to damage your hands. Non-acetone nail polish removers are less strong, but also less harmful. There are also alternate options for nail polish remover. Moisturize your hands to counteract the drying effects of the nail polish remover. Use nail clippers to cut your nails straight across -- this is the healthiest way to clip, and you'll shape your nails later. A recommended length is to the edge of your toe. Get your nails to the desired shape. Be careful not to leave jagged edges, as they can uncomfortably scrape against shoes and socks. Make sure your nail file is in good condition and hasn't become dull. The best filing technique is not to move your nail back and forth over the file, but to scrape the file in a single motion across the tip of your nail and repeat until you've finished. The nails on your toes are usually rougher than those on your fingers since they're always rubbing against socks and shoes. Use a nail buffer to smooth down ridges and grooves. Buffing helps remove any residuals left by your old pedicure and primes the nail to soak up the base coat. Wash with soap and water to get rid of the nail polish remover smell. Be sure to dry your feet before painting - water will dilute nail polish and ruin your pedicure.
Summary: Remove your old polish. Clip your nails. File your nails. Buff the tops of the nails. Wash up.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't start an argument every time he leaves his socks on the floor. Focus on what you like about him, rather than the things he does that annoy you. If he sees that you don't start arguments over petty issues, he'll be more likely to listen when you have a problem you want to talk about. Try to have a conversation rather than an argument. Remember that this is a person you care about, and you're both working to build a life together. If a tense issue comes up that you need to talk about, try to have a mature discussion where you both are able to explain how you feel. If an issue seems important enough to bring up, try to find the right time to mention it. Pick a time when you're both free of other distractions so you can focus on each other. Start the conversation with a positive statement about your partner, then follow with what's bothering you. Try saying, "I love that you're so excited about your new phone, but I feel a little frustrated that you didn't think you should talk to me before buying something that cost so much." If an argument starts to escalate, keep your tone of voice calm and use positive statements to cool things down. Say things like "I respect your independence; I just want to feel included in big decisions" or "You're usually very considerate so this surprised me." You might have a valid point to make, but a big factor in how much of it he'll listen to has to do with how you say it. If you can feel your emotions getting the best of you, take a 20-minute break, then come back and finish your discussion. Go for a walk or take a drive in your car, then come back and talk about it. Hanging on to hurt feelings can build up, and then when you argue you let it all out. Instead of dealing with one issue, you're arguing about several different things, and there's no way to actually fix them. Talk about problems as they come up. If there are a lot of unresolved issues in your relationship, you might need to evaluate whether you're with the right person. Everyone argues once in awhile, but do your best to let it go as quickly as possible. It's usually when emotions are running high that someone will feel the need to get that last hurtful jab in. Avoid hurt feelings (and possibly damaging your relationship for good) by allowing the argument to die down quickly. Keep in mind that you don't always have to get the last word. To have a healthy relationship, sometimes you have to be willing to "lose" an argument. Once you've expressed your thoughts, let the conversation go. If you stay calm, he's more likely to think about what you had to say. When you're arguing, you might feel like the two of you have completely lost touch with each other. Reconnect with each other as soon as possible, even if you're both still feeling a little tender. Use humor or say something caring to break the mood. Try to find something you can do together to get back on the same page, like watching a movie.

SUMMARY: Pick your battles. Try to resolve issues calmly. Take a break if things get out of hand. Don't stockpile your problems. Don't drag fights out. Repair the relationship as soon as possible.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You'll need 2 J brackets for the bottom, with a cradle wide enough for the thickness of your mirror, and 2 sliding J brackets for the top. Use as many hooks as you need to support the mirror's weight. Evenly space them out and install them with sturdy hollow-wall fasteners for wallboard or plaster, wood screws for wall framing, or masonry anchors if you're fastening the hooks to brick or concrete. You may also want to pad the J-hooks with pieces of felt to protect the back of the mirror. You can also use a single J-shaped metal strip called a J-strip. You should pad this piece as well. Use a level and a pencil to draw 2 lines on the wall, indicating the length of the mirror's sides. They should extend upward, both at a right angle to the bottom horizontal line. Following the same intervals as the bottom J-hooks, loosely attach additional fasteners that will keep the mirror in place. Choose L- or Z-clips based on the mirror's design, then screw them into the wall. Keep the screw loose so the front side that will rest against the mirror is loose as well. Since these clips won't support the mirror's weight, you only need light-duty fiber or plastic anchors called wall plugs to install them. Pad the L- and Z-clips with adhesive-backed felt where they'll touch the glass. Move the side fasteners out of the way before setting the mirror's bottom edge into the J-hooks. Lift the mirror by the sides and tilt it backward against the wall, then tighten the L- or Z-clips just enough to hold the mirror firmly.
Summary:
Use brackets to hang heavy unbacked mirrors. Install a row of 3-4 J-hooks along the bottom line drawn on the wall. Mark where the sides of mirror will sit on the wall. Install 2-3 L- or Z-clips along the drawn vertical lines on the wall. Slide the mirror into place and tighten the clips to keep it secure.
