Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick 1-3 essential oils for your perfume. Dilute 20-25 drops of oils with 2 fluid ounces (59mL) of rectified spirits. Pour the dilution into the bottle. Pour the alcohol into the bottle, leaving a little headspace. Spray the perfume and adjust the scent by adding oils if necessary. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place.

Answer: One of the best parts of making your own perfume is making a scent that you love. Decide if you'd prefer a floral, musky, or energizing scent. Then, pick 1-3 oils to blend together in your perfume to make the scent. If you're interested in make a floral scent, try mixing lavender and peony, or just sticking with 1 floral scent. For a more sensual scent, combine amber and vanilla. If you want to create a refreshing scent, choose 1-2 citrus fruits, like lime, orange, or grapefruit. Get an alcohol that is over 180 proof, such as rectified spirits, and use a pipette or dropper to add 20-25 drops of your oils to a small bowl containing the "carrier" alcohol. Try to balance the scents so that the scent that you want to stand out has more drops. Then, stir the oil and alcohol mixture to combine everything thoroughly. This creates a 2% dilution of oils, which is safe for use on your skin. For a sample mixture, if you're making a lemongrass scent with peppermint, use 10 drops of peppermint and 15 drops of lemongrass in 2 fluid ounces (59mL) of rectified spirits to make the lemongrass the dominant scent. In general, the ratio of the oils will depend on your personal preference. You can always adjust the scent by adding more essential oils if it isn't strong enough. If you add more than 2-3 extra drops, you should also add at least 0.5 fluid ounces (15mL) of rectified spirits. Carefully add the dilution to the bottom of the bottle, using a funnel or pipette to prevent spills. Leave the bottle open to prepare for adding the alcohol. If you do spill some of the dilution, don't worry. The dilution will still be intact since you mixed it before adding it to the bottle. Once you've added your diluted oils, top off the bottle with a high-proof alcohol, like vodka or grain alcohol, leaving about 12 inch (1.3cm) of head space in case you want to add more oil. It might be helpful to use a funnel to add the alcohol to the bottle to prevent spills. High-proof alcohol has little to no scent, and will combine with the oils to make your perfume. If you can't find a high-proof alcohol, use denatured alcohol, which you can buy at most home improvement stores, or perfumer's alcohol, which you can order online. Test the perfume by spraying it into the air or onto a piece of paper. Let it dry for 10 seconds before smelling it, and then add 3-5 additional drops of oil to the bottle if the scent isn't strong enough. If you're happy with the scent, you can start using your perfume immediately! Since sunlight can break down essential oils, causing them to lose their pleasant scent, you should always store your perfume out of direct light. Place it on a shelf in the medicine cabinet, cupboard, or inside of a drawer to protect your new scent. If stored properly, your perfume will last indefinitely. If it starts to lose its smell, add a few more drops of oils to "refresh" to perfume.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Listen carefully. Find ways to agree. Show affection. Make sure you are heard. Go to counseling. Revisit the issue. Insist on change.

Answer: The best way to understand your wife's point of view is to listen to what she is saying. Take some time to work on bettering your communication. This includes practicing your active listening skills. Show that you are listening by maintaining eye contact and making gestures such as nodding. You can also indicate your interest by paraphrasing. For instance, "I hear you saying that you feel I don't help out enough around the house." You need to have an open and honest conversation about your wife's behavior. During this conversation, try to find common ground. You might find that you are actually both frustrated by the same things. You could say, "I agree that we're not really working together on household chores. How could we create a more fair division of labor? I'm feeling really put upon lately." The nagging might be a serious problem for you. But remember, there are lots of things you love about your wife, too. Reconnect with each other by being affectionate. Take time each day to hug your wife. Be affectionate by rubbing her shoulders while you watch TV. If you are constantly dealing with nagging, you've probably asked your wife repeatedly to stop. She might seem to be listening and even agree to your requests. But it's important to realize that that is not the same as actually being heard. Being heard means that your wife is taking in what you are saying, understanding it, and acting on it. If your wife continues this behavior, she's clearly not hearing what you are saying. Make your emotions clear. Try saying, "I have explained to you that I feel hurt, angry, and frustrated. I feel that you are not hearing me, because you continue to nag me, even though it hurts. I need you to understand my point of view." Sometimes couples hit a rough patch. If your efforts at fixing the problem don't seem to be working, you might want to consider some outside help. Counseling can be a great way for couples to learn new ways to communicate. Ask your wife if she is willing to attend counseling with you. That way, you can work on solving the problem together. If she doesn't want to go, you can go on your own. You can still get help processing your emotions. It is important that you get some kind of resolution. It is not fair for you to have to live with all of these negative emotions. If your wife does not changer her behavior, you need to keep revisiting the issue. Make it clear that you are not going to let the matter drop. Try saying, "I know we just talked about this last week, but I haven't seen any positive changes. I need you to realize how hurtful you are being." If your wife simply won't stop, you have every right to demand some sort of resolution. If you have tried to communicate and maybe even tried counseling, it might be time to make a firm demand. Think about whether the nagging is a deal breaker for you. If it's not, you can keep trying to make your wife hear you. If you just can't take it anymore, make that clear. Try saying, "I can't continue to live with this stress. If you can't make some immediate changes, I'm going to have to consider taking some time off from our relationship."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose an exchange service. Provide proof of your identity and contact information to the service. Buy Bitcoins with your exchange account.

Answer:
Obtaining Bitcoin through an exchange is the easiest way to obtain Bitcoin. An exchange works like any other currency exchange: You simply register and convert whatever your currency is into Bitcoin. There are hundreds of available exchanges, and the best exchange option depends on where you are located, but the more well known exchange services include: Cryptaw: This is a Singapore Based wallet service which allows user to trade Singapore Dollars for Bitcoins. The company currently has only web platform which is also mobile friendly. CoinBase: This popular wallet and exchange service will also trade US dollars and euros for Bitcoins. The company has web and mobile apps for more convenient Bitcoin buying and trading. Circle: This exchange service offers users the ability to store, send, receive, and exchange Bitcoins. Currently, only US citizens are able to link their bank accounts to deposit funds. Xapo: This wallet and Bitcoin debit card provider offers deposits in fiat currency that are then converted to Bitcoin in your account. Some exchange services allow you to also trade Bitcoins. Other exchange services act as wallet services with limited buying and selling capabilities. Most exchanges and wallets will store amounts of digital or fiat currency for you, much like a regular bank account. Exchanges and wallets are a good option if you want to engage in regular trading and don't need total anonymity. When signing up for an exchange service, you will need to provide personal information to the service to create an account. Most countries legally require any individual or financial system using a Bitcoin exchange service to meet anti-money laundering requirements. Though you are required to provide proof of your identity, exchanges and wallets do not provide the same protection that banks do. You are not protected against hackers, or given reimbursement if the exchange goes out of business. Once you set up your account via an exchange service, you will need to link it to an existing bank account and arrange to move funds between it and your new Bitcoin account. This will usually be done via a wire transfer and entails a fee. Some exchanges allow you to make a deposit in person to their bank account. This will be done face to face, rather than through an ATM. If you are required to link to a bank account to use the exchange service, it will likely only admit banks from the country where the exchange service is based. Some exchanges allow you to transfer money to overseas accounts, but the fees will be much higher and there may be a delay changing the Bitcoins back into local currency.
