Write an article based on this "Compare the risks and rewards of a decision before choosing what to do. Trust your initial feelings so you don't over-analyze things too much. Look at your situation from another perspective to think through it clearly. Ask someone you trust for feedback if you aren't sure about your decision. Realize that it's okay to make a wrong decision every now and then."
article: Look at the positives and negative outcomes that could come from a decision you're making. You can either do it mentally if you need to make a quick decision, or you can write down a pros and cons list to determine what's best for you to do. Weigh your options to see which choice will give you the best possible outcome. For example, if someone offers you an alcoholic drink and you're too young, the rewards may be hanging out with them and having a free drink, but the risks are you could get in trouble with the law. The best and most common-sense decision is to say no to the drink. Sometimes, your gut reaction may be the best for you to do. Whenever you're faced with a decision, take notice of what your first instinct or answer is. Think about what good or bad consequences could come from the decision, and if the decision seems like the best one, then make it. For example, if someone offers you an alcoholic drink and you're underage, your first thought is usually that you shouldn't drink because you'd get in trouble if you get caught. You may notice that it seems easier to give advice to a friend than it is to tell yourself the same thing. When you're faced with a tough decision, mentally take a step back and pretend that you're watching someone else in your situation. Think about what you would tell them based on what's the smartest or best decision for them. If the decision is something you wouldn't tell a friend to do, then you shouldn't make it either. For example, if you found a jacket at school that isn't yours but you want to keep, think about what you would tell a friend if they found the jacket. You would most likely tell them to return it to a lost and found, so you should make the same decision. It's okay if you don't know what to do if you're faced with a tough decision. Reach out to a parent/guardian, guidance counselor, or a friend you trust and tell them the situation you're facing. Talk through your possible decisions with them so you can get their input since they may have more life experience and could have faced a similar choice at some point. For example, you could ask, "Mom, I'm having trouble knowing what's the right decision to make. Could we talk about it?" Only get feedback from people who are a good influence on you, since someone who makes poor decisions may not give feedback that's common sense. Everybody makes mistakes and decisions they regret, but that doesn't mean all is lost. If you recognize that you've made a poor decision, reflect on it and recognize what choice you should have made for the best outcome. If you ever have a similar decision in the future, make the better choice rather than the one you made the last time. For example, if you chose to wear sneakers to the beach and you got sand in your shoes, next time you go to the beach you'll wear flip flops instead.

Write an article based on this "Fold a plain, white bed sheet in half lengthwise. Hold the sheet behind you, with 1 corner above your left shoulder. Wrap gold cording around your waist 2 to 3 times to make a belt. Adjust the front panel so that it covers your chest."
article: In general, the toga should extend from just beneath your armpits all the way down to your knees. You can have it go all the way down to your ankles for something more elegant, however, or you can make it shorter for a sexier look. Make sure that you're folding the long edge down, not the short edge. You want to make the bed sheet narrower, not shorter. Wear a white slip or a white tank top and shorts under your toga for more coverage. If you don't have a bed sheet, cut a 35 by 75 inches (89 by 191cm) rectangle out of fabric, then hem the edges. Use your left hand to hold the left corner about 12 inches (30cm) above your left shoulder. Hold the rest of the bed sheet in your right hand. If you folded the bed sheet to make it shorter, make sure that the folded part is on the inside, against your body. You don't want that to be visible. Cut a piece of gold cording long enough to wrap around your waist 4 to 5 times. Center it behind your back, then cross the ends in front of your waist. Wrap the ends around your torso towards your back and back around to the front. Tie them into a secure, double-knot in the front. You don't have to tie the cording exactly like this, but the crisscross will create a nice effect. Choose a rope that is about the thickness of a pen or pencil. You can also use leather cording instead. If you don't want to wear a belt with your toga, use safety pins to secure the under layer of fabric to the outer. Do this on the left and right side. Alternatively, wrap a gold chain-link belt around your waist instead. The left side of the front panel probably covers your left breast already, but the right side of the panel may be askew. Gently tug the right side of the panel so that it covers your right breast. You may have to adjust the panel beneath the belt as well, especially if you tied the belt tightly. It needs to align with the panel above the belt. You want to adjust the toga after you have added the belt because it's easier to do so when the fabric is cinched.

Write an article based on this "Obtain a loofah. Wet the loofah in the shower or bath. Apply soap to the loofah. Scrub your body with the loofah. Rinse your body with cool water."
article:
Loofahs are usually the color of pale straw, with a slightly herbaceous scent. They come in many shapes and sizes, and are often sold as either cylinders or sliced discs. The texture of a loofah is rough when dry, but once you add hot water it becomes soft and supple. Loofahs are available at most stores that sell body care accessories, including drugstores. Loofahs are different from plastic bath poufs; the two items are used for the same purpose, but loofahs are made from a plant-based material and are said to be better for the skin. Warmer water will cause the loofah to get softer more quickly. If you want the loofah to retain some texture and scrubbing ability, just wet it slightly before proceeding. Many people use body wash, which easily seeps into the surface of the loofah, but rubbing bar soap over its surface works as well. A little soap goes a long way; you only need a dime-sized amount or so. Starting at your decolletage (the expanse of skin between your neck and chest), gently but firmly rub the loofah against your skin in circular motions. Work your way down to your ankles and then repeat along the back of the body. Don't forget to scrub your arms and hands as well. Care should be used around delicate areas such as underarms. If your skin is dry, rinse the soap out of the loofah before using it on your arms and legs. Additionally, you can use the loofah on the heels and soles of your feet. Be careful if standing in a slippery shower. The circular motion will help remove dead skin cells and is gentler on your skin than scrubbing up and down. This will close your pores and make you feel awake and refreshed. If trying to lull yourself to sleep with a shower or bath, use warm water instead.
