Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine what type of scent you want. Choose top, middle, and base notes. Test your blend. Mix the oils.

Answer: Different types of scents are often used to alleviate different issues. Think about what type of scent you want. There are general categories of essential oil scent, and oils in any one category tend to mix well with their own kind. That said, you can mix scents from different categories. Try experimenting with different types of scents. Floral: Lavender, neroli, jasmine, ylang ylang, rose Earthy: Oakmoss, patchouli, pine, cedar Herbal: Marjoram, rosemary, basil, thyme Minty: Peppermint, spearmint, sage Spicy: Nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, black pepper Citrus: Orange, lemon, lime, bergamot The note of an oil refers to the length of time that it takes to evaporate. Top notes evaporate the quickest while base notes linger for a long time. If you want your oils to hold their aroma for a certain time, choose a good base note that pairs well with top and middle notes. Top notes evaporate within one or two hours. They include anise, basil, citronella, eucalyptus, lavender, spearmint, orange, and lemongrass. Middle notes evaporate within two to four hours. They include fennel, nutmeg, tea tree, jasmine, and chamomile. Base notes last for up to a few days. They include balsam, cedarwood, ginger, patchouli, and oakmoss. Dip one cotton swab into each bottle of oil. You should use one swab per bottle. Hold these about a foot away from your nose, and swirl them in circles in the air. This will give you a sense of what the scent combination will smell like. If you do not like it, try removing one of the cotton swabs, and try again. This will help you find a good combination of aromas for your blend. You can also use cotton balls or fragrance testing strips to try out your scents. Once you have determined your essential oil blend, you can start adding them together. Using a pipette or dropper, drop the measured amounts of your top, middle, and base notes into a clean mixing bowl or into a glass vial. Drop the correct amount of drops as stated per the recipe you are using. If you are unsure how much to use, you can follow a few different guidelines: The 30-50-20 rule: your mixture is 30% of your top note, 50% of your middle note, and 20% of your base note. The 1-2-3 Rule: For every one drop of your base note, you have two drops of your middle note and three drops of your top note. You should mix your essential oils together first before adding any carriers or diluting agents.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep your hips back. Bend your legs 90 degrees. Come down feet first. Put your arms out in front of you, with open palms.

Answer: Keep your hips steady instead of rocking them forward. Imagine you're sitting back on an invisible chair as you land. Your bent legs will continue to absorb the shock of your landing, saving your joints from injury. You always want the balls of your feet to hit the ground first. Your heels will come down after the balls of your feet land. Lean forward and touch the ground in front of you with your palms splayed. Your arms will take some of the shock of the landing, and put you in position for your next move.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Encourage smokers you're close with to quit. Remain sympathetic. Stress how much you care about them. Direct your loved ones to resources on how to quit smoking. Don't lecture. Celebrate their efforts and progress.

Answer: If someone you're very close with smokes, like a best friend, parent, or spouse, you may want to respectfully ask them to quit smoking. This can be a touchy situation, so you'll have to approach it delicately. Asking someone to stop smoking is a very serious request. You will probably not want to have this kind of conversation with someone you're not close with as it could be considered simply rude and offensive rather than helpful. If there are specific things that bother you, like kissing just after they've been smoking, let them know. Imagine how your loved one might feel about smoking, and keep these feelings in mind. Many smokers have tried to quit before and failed, so you need to be sensitive to the fact that your loved one may have battled with quitting before. Their smoking might bother them as much (if not more) than it bothers you, so try to remember that this is a struggle for them too. You don't want your loved one to quit smoking just because you don't like the smell but because you're concerned for their health. By emphasizing how much you care about your loved one's health, you can help ensure they know that you're making this request out of love. You can start the conversation by saying something like, "You mean a lot to me, so I want to talk about quitting smoking. I'm just really afraid of what might happen to you if you keep smoking." If you have serious health concerns for yourself, it's okay to share those as well. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for instance, has compiled a list of effective resources on their website. You may also be able to pick up helpful pamphlets at a doctor's office, hospital, or community health center. Your loved one probably already knows about all the harmful effects of smoking, so don't give them a lecture. They aren't stupid for smoking, they simply have an addiction. Focus on how their smoking makes you feel rather than the facts about the dangers of cigarettes. You can find a guide on how to quit smoking here: https://www.wikihow.com/Quit-Smoking Whenever you notice that your loved one has cut down on smoking a little bit, compliment them on their success and/or let them know how much you appreciate their accommodation. By acknowledging small changes, you can show your loved one that you're in this with them. This may make them feel more cared for and motivated.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Store emergency water. Stockpile food. Start a garden. Create an emergency kit. Gather first aid and medical supplies.

Answer:
In the event of an economic collapse, it is possible that your power and water supply might be interrupted, or that you will not be able to pay for these things. You will need a supply of clean water for drinking, cooking and hygiene. You can purchase bottles of water or store water in your own containers. If you run out of water, you can take steps to sanitize contaminated water. Store at least one gallon of water per person for a minimum of three days or for up to two weeks. Don't forget to include pets in this equation. If you are storing water in your own containers, wash them first with dish soap and water and sanitize them with a solution of 1 teaspoon of liquid chlorine bleach to a quart of water. To make water safe, you can boil it and filter it through a clean cloth, paper towel or coffee filter The kind of food you store up for an emergency is different from the groceries you purchase each week. You need to get food that is non-perishable, does not have to be refrigerated and will provide you with the nutrition you need to survive. It may be very different from the food you are used to eating, but you will be glad you have it if you ever need it. Purchase food that does not have to be refrigerated or frozen so you don't have to worry about power outages. These foods include canned goods, peanut butter and beef or turkey jerky. Include foods highly nutritious foods that are easy to store, such as dried foods, nuts, beans, canned meat and vegetables and powdered milk. For comfort foods, avoid snack foods that will quickly expire. Instead, stock up on spaghetti and spaghetti sauce, soups, sugar and honey for canning and baking, dried fruit, coffee and tea and hard candy. If necessary, stock pile baby food and formula. Don't forget to include pet food if you have pets. Keep a manual can opener with your stockpile. A garden allows you to continually have fresh, nutritious food to supplement your emergency food supply. Also, in an economic crisis the cost of living might skyrocket. Having a garden will help you to save money on your grocery bills. It will also allow you to be self-sufficient should a food shortage result from the financial collapse. If you don't have a lot of space, consider starting a container garden. If you don't have good soil, purchase humus soil or top soil. Add peat moss, composted manure and plant fertilizers. Choose vegetables and herbs that are easy to grow, including beans and peas, carrots, greens like lettuce, cabbage, spinach and kale, potatoes and sweet potatoes, squash, tomatoes, broccoli, berries and melons. This is a collection of household items you might need in an emergency. In the event of an economic collapse, you may not be able to shop for these supplies, so it's important to have them on hand. Keep your supplies in a container that's easy to carry in case you have to evacuate for some reason. Include an extra set of car keys, blankets, matches, a multi-use tool, maps of the area, a flashlight, a battery-powered or hand-cranked radio, extra batteries, matches and a cell phone and chargers. Have some household liquid bleach on hand for disinfecting. Make copies of all important documents, such as proof of address, deed/lease to home, passports, birth certificates and insurance policies. Have a list of family and emergency contact numbers. Include baby supplies such as baby food, formula, diapers and bottles. Remember pet supplies like food, collars, leashes and food bowls. You can purchase a first aid kit or put one together yourself. Either way, make sure it has all of the necessary supplies. Include personal items such as medications for yourself and members of your family. Check the kit regularly to make sure nobody has used any of the supplies. Also, check the expiration dates and replace expired items. Keep a first aid manual with your first aid kit. Include dressings and bandages, such as adhesive bandages in various sizes, sterile gauze pads and a gauze roll, adhesive tape, elastic bandages and sterile cotton balls. Add equipment and other supplies, like latex or non-latex gloves, instant cold packs, a thermometer, safety pins to fasten splints or bandages, tweezers, scissors and hand sanitizer. Have medicines for cuts and injuries, such as antiseptic solution like hydrogen peroxide, antibiotic ointment, calamine lotion for stings or poison ivy, hydrocortisone cream for itching and an eyewash solution. Include contact lens solution if necessary. Other medicines to have include pain and fever medicines like aspirin, acetaminophen or ibuprofen, antihistamines for allergies, decongestants for colds, anti-nausea medicine, anti-diarrhea medicine, antacids and laxatives.
