Article: Talk to your bishop and stake president about any serious transgressions, such as drug abuse or violation of church norms regarding chastity, in your history. They will need to confirm that sufficient time has passed for you to be truly contrite and forgiven for your actions. To be mission-eligible, you typically also need to have been free from such transgressions for at least 1 year. Your bishop and stake president may restrict your ability to go on a mission if you transgress repeatedly. Alternatively, they may require a longer period of time free from transgressions to feel you have repented for your behavior. The church has outlined steps of repentance to help you improve yourself here: https://mormonmissionprep.com/basic-doctrines/repentance-process-and-steps/. Keep yourself in good spiritual standing with the church by adhering to its outlined principles of good conduct and spirituality. Being a full-tithe payer, keeping the Word of Wisdom, attending church meetings, and not affiliating with anti-Mormon groups are all paramount to your preparedness for missionary work. A comprehensive list of required characteristics for temple-worthiness can be found on the Church of Latter Day Saints' website: https://www.lds.org/. Become a member of the LDS church so you can receive the Temple Endowmenta blessing that's considered to come directly from Godbefore your mission. In order to receive this special blessing, you must be a church member for at least 1 year before your mission takes place. Your Endowment usually takes place once you've been assigned to a mission within a few weeks of your start at a Missionary Training Center. Consult with your bishop about the steps to become an elder in the church through a Melchizedek Priesthood ordination. This should take place before going on your mission or receiving your Temple Endowment. Typically only men become Melchizedek Priests. Becoming a Melchizedek Priest means you direct the preaching of the gospel around the world. You also have the authority to bless family members and administer to the sick. There is no such equivalency for potential female missionaries. Get a blessing from an ordained patriarch in the LDS church to get ready for your mission. These special blessings are typically given out only once in a lifetime, and recipients are encouraged to keep their blessings personal and private. Blessings usually celebrate a person's strengths and reveal any weaknesses they should look to improve as they grow in their spirituality. Keep your blessing in mind as you prepare for your mission.

Problem: Article: If you find it difficult to be around the annoying person often, you may need to set boundaries so you do not end up getting too emotionally involved. Setting boundaries for yourself is an important coping mechanism and will ensure you are not put in situations where you might come into conflict with the person. You may try to limit the amount of time you spend with the person, such as only chatting to them briefly in the morning at work and leaving the office for lunch. Or you may only answer their calls or texts when you have free time rather than answering them right away. You may also try to remain calm and detached when they speak to in meetings or social situations where you cannot excuse yourself. Doing this can set up personal boundaries for you to help you cope with the person's irritating nature. For example, if the annoying person starts talking too loudly at a family dinner, you may try to stay detached and focus on something else in your mind. This will allow you to block out the person and stay calm. You should also focus on the positive when you are around the person and try not to let their mood dampen yours. Being positive and proactive, rather than angry and reactive may discourage the person from trying to annoy you or bother you. One way you can appear positive is by maintaining open body language. This means maintaining eye contact with the person and nodding to show them you are not fazed by them. You should also keep your arms relaxed and by your sides. Avoid responding to the person with a passive aggressive comment or a snide remark. Instead, say something simple and polite like, "Thank you for sharing that with me" or "Sounds great." If you are unable to handle being around the annoying person, despite trying to remain positive, you may want to avoid being around the person. Keep your distance and look for ways to avoid spending time with the person. Sometimes the best way to cope is to separate yourself from the person and take some time away from them. You may try to keep your distance for a set period of time so that you have some space away from the person. Maybe you skip a family get together to take a small break from hanging out with the person. Or maybe you try to choose assignments at work that do not involve the person so you can have some space away from them.
Summary: Set boundaries. Try to remain positive. Stay away from the person.

Surfer girls often have wet, wavy hair. To achieve this, mist your hair with a matte hair spray to get it a little damp. From there, douse your hair in some sea salt spray.

You should avoid using sea salt spray, however, if you were actually at the beach, as too much salt could damage your hair. A long braid can give your hair a mermaid vibe. If you have longer braid, try braiding it into a single long braid that hangs over your shoulder. This is a great look to pair with hats. You want the sun-kissed look of someone who spends a lot of time on the beach. Bronzer can help you achieve this. You can dust your face with a layer of bronzer to give yourself a believable tan. If you actually do spend a lot of time on the beach, use sunscreen under your bronzer and choose a bronzer with SPF protection. Surfer girls spend a lot of time in water. Therefore, elaborate makeup isn't exactly realistic. Neutral tones that match your natural skin work best. If you use foundation, use only a light amount that matches your skin. Stick to neutral tones of eye shadow and lipstick, if you use them at all. Minimize your use of things like eye liner or mascara. If they're used, use them very lightly.
