INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can find most if not everything you need to start your own miniature succulent garden in the garden department of your local home improvement store. This project requires at least one compact container, a few ounces of natural gardening soil, some small potting stones or pebbles and your choice of succulent plants. The average price for succulent seedlings, gardening soil, and a basic planter will most likely be between $30-50. With all your supplies in place, you can put together a miniature succulent garden in as little as 15 minutes. When most people think of succulents, cacti are what spring to mind, but there are lots of other varieties to choose from. Some of the most popular if lesser-known succulents include Echeveria, aloe, cotyledon, sempervivum, and agave. Choose plants that you think will be a good fit for the type of garden you have in mind. It may be worth considering factors other than just looks, as well, like the climate you live in, accessibility to sunshine around your home and how much time you'll be able to devote to caring for the plants. Browse the succulent selection at your local greenhouse or plant nursery for even more options. Make sure to consider how large the plants can get before you choose them. The exact size of your succulent garden is up to you, but in order for it to meet the "miniature" description, it should probably be able to fit in something no larger than a household planter. Ceramic bowls and dishes are one more attractive option, or you could keep things simple and go with a basic flower pot. Think up some clever, unorthodox containers planters for your succulents. Miniature gardens in mason jars or fish bowls will look charming displayed throughout your home, while outdoor arrangements could be created in an unused bird feeder, wheelbarrow or even a pair of rubber gardening boots. Whatever container you settle on should encourage proper water drainage or evaporation and provide enough space between individual plants so they don't smother each other. If you wish, you can lend your garden some extra visual appeal by ornamenting it with tiny statues, figurines, trellises, or other novelties. This sort of flair doesn't typically cost much more, and can be used to break up the monotony of a sea of green plants and black soil if you're starting a garden for aesthetic purposes. Those who aren't inclined to buy a lot of knick-knacks for their gardens can still spruce them up with found objects like seashells or wood carvings.

SUMMARY: Gather your materials. Decide what type of succulents you want to grow. Pick out a container of the right size. Add decorative touches.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure you have ripe bananas. They should have a few brown spots on the peels. Once you have the ripe bananas, peel them and set them aside. Take out 1-2 freezer safe plastic zipper bags. Place your bananas evenly in the bags. Freeze the bananas overnight. The bananas will be solid once they are frozen completely. Once they are completely frozen, take the bananas out of the freezer and bags. Lay them on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the banana into small pieces. Throw the pieces into a food processor. Pulse the bananas for 45-60 seconds. The bananas should be smooth. Pour the mixture into a bowl and enjoy! Don't over pulse the banana mixture. If you pulse it for too long, the friction from the blades will start to melt the banana. Although this ice cream is fantastic on its own, you can add extra ingredients to this mixture and process the banana mixture for a few additional seconds to make an even more amazing dessert. Add a few drops of peppermint oil or extract and a handful of chocolate chips for mint chocolate chip ice cream. For cherry vanilla ice cream, add a few frozen cherries and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add a tablespoon or two cocoa powder and nuts for a chocolaty, nutty ice cream. The banana takes on other flavors really well. Once you add a few ingredients, the other flavors take over and the banana becomes a background flavor.

SUMMARY: Peel the bananas. Freeze the bananas. Process the bananas. Add extra ingredients.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Much of your communication is done through body language. Be conscious before, during, and after your interview, to maintain strong body language that will help you make a positive, lasting impression on your interviewer. Practice good posture by keeping your shoulders back, your back straight, and your chin up. Don't keep anything in your lap like a briefcase or purse. Keep your hands and arms steady, and free of objects that you may subconsciously play with during your interview. First impressions go a long way, and one way to make a great one, is by greeting your interviewer with a handshake. This will show you are a confident, welcoming person. Practice your handshake with a friend to make sure it is not too soft, or aggressive. After your interview is over, follow up with your interviewer to show your appreciation, and once again, highlight why you are a strong candidate. You can send an email, or a card in the mail. However you chose to send it, be sure to do it within the next day.

SUMMARY:
Display confident body language. Greet with a firm handshake. Send a thank you note.
