Article: This mask consists of three treatments: exfoliating, a soothing mask, and moisturizing. If you have very dry and flaky skin on your lips, consider skipping the exfoliating treatment and jumping straight to making and applying the mask. If you do choose to use the exfoliating treatment, be sure that you are gentle, so that you do not worsen the condition. Here is a list of what you will need for each part: To make the exfoliating scrub, you will need 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. To make the soothing mask, you will need 1 teaspoon of plain yogurt and teaspoon of raw honey. For the moisturizing treatment, you will need a lip balm or a natural oil; an organic lip balm is recommended.

Gather your ingredients.

Problem: Article: You don't want to be running around looking for cleaning products with a wet dog in the tub, so have everything in one place before you start. You should also make sure that you're properly dressed in clothes you don't mind getting messy because you will get wet. At the very least, you will need: Dog shampoo Treats Several towels Place one towel on the edge of the tub to keep water from splashing over the tub. The rest are for drying. Some dogs like to make a run for it during bath-time. If this describes your dog, buy a dog bath lead from the pet supply store. It's a leash that attaches to the shower's wall with a suction cup and keeps your dog in place during the bath. Replace the dog's regular collar with one that will not stain the coat or suffer water damage. A slip lead that adjusts to a struggling dog is best but the dog may choke itself no matter the restraint so monitor his breathing carefully and adjust or simply push them back when necessary. Use a squeegee or use your hand as a squeegee to force water off of the coat and body. Towel-dry him as best as you can while he's still in the tub, so you don't make a mess. Place the towel over your dog's back, or hold it next to him and give permission to shake the water off their body. Many dogs will learn the "bath rules" and wait to shake until you have placed the towel over them to contain the water droplets. Another type of towel to use is a chamois, which is a thin fleece-like towel that is designed to be wrung out when wet. It lessens the number of towels needed and does the bulk of the work. Using a chamois, then a towel makes drying less of a hassle. If you have a double-coated or long-haired dog, you may need to blow the coat dry.
Summary: Gather your supplies. Secure the dog in the bathtub. Dry your dog.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Mount the unit on the wall, guiding the wires through the slots in the face. Make sure the edges and corners are straight and that all screw holes are aligned. If the new doorbell differs in size from the old one, adjust it until you're satisfied with the placement. Attaching a different model may require you to drill new holes. Use a level to line up the edges of the new unit more precisely. Re-insert and tighten the screws by hand. If you drilled a fresh set of holes, double check that they're the right size to support the new unit. Use plastic anchors to keep your walls from being damaged by the screw threads. Replace the screws in the upper corners first to hold the unit in place while you finish tightening the bottom corners. Remember to run the wires to their appropriate terminals. Match them up with their designated colors or labels before screwing them down. Otherwise, the doorbell won't work correctly. Crossing up the wires could even put the doorbell in danger of shorting out. Fit the outer cover over the new unit and press it until it clicks. If the unit features a faceplate with separate screws, make sure they're each properly fastened. That's all there is to it!

SUMMARY: Fit the new doorbell into place. Secure the doorbell to the wall. Reconnect the wires. Snap the housing into place.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Distractions are one of the most common obstacles to effective empathy, so remove them whenever possible. Silence your phone, turn off the TV, put down the magazine, and truly engage with the person you are talking to. Distractions aren't just cellphones and TV, though. You can also become distracted mentally or physically, such as when you are worried or hungry. Attend to your needs before starting a conversation, so you can be fully present with others. Being vulnerable with your own thoughts and feelings is a call that allows others to exercise empathy. When you are talking to others, make an effort to use feeling words. This helps clue them into your emotional state. For instance, you might say, "I was shocked by the news of the accident" or "I'm angry that you didn't consult with me first." Is someone around you in need of empathy? If so, use open body language that fosters a connection, make occasional eye contact, and soften your voice. If you have a deep relationship with the person, you might hold their hand, caress their back, or hug them. Just make sure you are aware of the other person's personal boundary needs before you try to make physical contact with them. Sometimes, you may get the call to express empathy towards others, but not know how to do it correctly. If this happens, simply be present with the personjust be there. You can inspire others to be empathetic by taking action when others are in need. Rather than just standing on the sidelines (or expecting the person to request help), think of actionable ways you can offer assistance. For example, if a friend is stumped about a breakup, try to get them out of the house to see a movie or go to the spa. If a family member is struggling with mental illness, offer to accompany them to therapy sessions or support group meetings.
Summary: Give people your full attention. Share your emotions when you connect with others. Respond appropriately to the concerns of others. Find specific ways to lend a helping hand.
