There's a small crucifix dangling from the end of the rosary. The string directly holding the rosary has a single large bead, 3 small beads, another large bead, and a small icon or image. The actual loop of the rosary is comprised of 5 "decades" of beads. A "decade" is 10 small beads followed by a large bead. The first decade begins on the left-hand side of the rosary and moves outward from the icon. The larger beads denoting the start/end of each decade are also called "Our Father" beads. The smaller beads in the middle sections are also called "Hail Mary" beads. Most people prefer to gently grasp their rosary in their right hand. This allows you to more easily move the rosary around and touch each of the beads as you say each prayer. If you prefer to kneel, make sure that the rosary doesn't touch the ground at any time. While still holding the rosary, move your hand so that it is in front of your body. Pull your thumb inwards towards your palm and lightly touch your ring finger with it. Alternatively, you can complete the cross with all 5 fingers. For some people, performing the cross with all 5 fingers is meant to symbolize the 5 wounds of Jesus Christ. Raising only your middle and index fingers can symbolize the divine and human parts of Christ. Many congregations will have a specific hand gesture that they use for the cross. Talk with your religious leaders for guidance if you are unsure. Whether you use a full hand or just a few fingers, this should be a light, purposeful touch and nothing more. As soon as your fingers make contact with your forehead, say aloud, "In the name of the Father" which is the beginning of the Trinitarian formula that is said while making the sign of the cross. You can also say the Latin translation, "In nomine Patris" Slowly and sedately move your right hand so that your fingertips gently press against the center of your sternum. As soon as your fingers make contact, say, "and of the Son" Continue to clasp the rosary in your right hand as you make these movements. You can also position your left hand flat against the center of your chest and tap your right fingertips slightly above it. The Latin translation here is, "et Filii" Continuing to use the fingertips of your right hand, gently tap the front-facing part of your shoulder. When your fingertips make contact, say, "And of the Holy" You can also say the Latin translation, which is, "et Spiritus" Continuing to use your right hand, touch the front-facing part of your right shoulder. As soon as your fingertips make contact, say, "and the Holy Spirit" The Latin translation here is, "...Sanctus." Position your hands in front of your body with your palms flat and touching one another. Make sure your fingertips face upwards. When your hands touch, say, "Amen." This is the end of the Sign of the Cross and the conclusion of the Trinitarian formula as well.

Summary: Familiarize yourself with the design of a traditional 5-decade rosary. Hold your rosary in one hand. Raise your right hand. Touch your fingertips lightly to the center of your forehead. Tap your fingertips against the middle of your chest. Touch the front of your left shoulder. Move your fingertips over to the front of your right shoulder. Place your hands together in prayer.

Do some research online to find a museum in your area that interests you, whether it's an art museum, science museum, or history museum. You can make it a solo trip and go explore the museum by yourself, or invite a friend or two to come along. Check to see if the museum has special days where admission is free. Check to see if there's a movie in theaters that you and your friends would like to go see. You can all share a popcorn and candy, or eat a snack beforehand and enjoy the movie. This is a good activity to do on a super hot or rainy day. If you'd like to spend some time reading but don't have any new books, head to your local library and peruse their selection. You can check out a fun summer book to read, or you can look for a book about a topic that you'd like to learn more about. You can also check out movies, CDs, and books on tape from the library. If you don't already have a library card, ask your librarian to help you through the process of getting one. When it's a hot day out, enjoying ice cream or frozen yogurt is a good way to cool down. Ask a friend to meet you at the nearest ice cream shop, or invite your family to come with you. Plan to see one of your favorite singers in advance, or see if there's a free concert going on in your area. Summer is a popular season for concerts, so you should have lots to choose from once you start looking. Go online to find out when artists are coming to your area. Ask a group of friends or your family members to visit a bowling alley with you or a laser tag arena to play against one another. This works especially well with large groups. You can grab a bite to eat before or after the game with your friends or family.

Summary: Visit a museum on a super hot day. Plan to go see a movie with friends for a relaxing activity. Go to the library to check out some books. Take friends to an ice cream shop for a cold treat. Gather a group of friends together to see a concert. Play a game like bowling or laser tag with friends.

Alternately, dab a blemish with a Q-Tip that you've soaked in eye drops (used for redness relief). Eye drops can help reduce inflammation and the visibility of redness. For added relief, place the soaked Q-Tip in the freezer for 30 to 60 minutes before applying. Choose concealer that's 1 shade darker than your skin tone. You should be good to go. The pink color masks the acne while providing relief from the irritation.
Summary: Dab your blemish with a cotton swab that you've soaked in hydrogen peroxide. Apply a concealer that contains salicylic acid. Add a layer of foundation that matches your usual skin tone. Dust your chest with powder. Try calamine lotion if you don't want to use makeup.
