The thyroid is more of a problem then people realize; usually most don’t recognize an issue until it’s a full blown problem.
Some have people have over-active, Hyperthyroidism and some have under-active thyroids called Hypothyroidism. This can lead to many problems which is usually first seen by one’s weight or eyes.

There are actually several great cures for hangovers. And, everyone will tell you they have the magic one. Some remedies may work, but can be quite absurd to the thought for some people; like drinking that concoction someone saw on a movie. But, here is truly an amazing relief, that can keep you from waking up in pain, from your night before.

Eating a couple slices of cucumber before you go to bed, will stop that hangover in it’s tracks.

it sounds crazy right? Or, you maybe saying, oh yeah, because of the water content. Yes, it has a lot of water, but it also is packed with B Vitamins and enough sugar for balancing.

But, the coolest thing cucumbers have is, electrolytes to rehydrate you while sleeping. It even, works to rehydrate your skin, so you will wake up looking more refreshed, than, if you just took some aspirin.

So, next time you over indulge, grab a cucumber to ease the future pain in the head.

How to make your house appear cleaner than it is. Tips in Action:

How to make your house appear cleaner than it is. Tips in Action:

TipsfromTia.com Lemons in White Bowl

Tis’ the season for unexpected guest, and not that we mind unannounced visits; not everyone has time to keep the house sparkling 24/7. Here’s a tip that will help your house appear cleaner than it really is.

Our senses work amazing together and they can also fool other senses at the same time. This is a fact, that’s why you’ve heard the saying “believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see”.

Keep an already, sliced lemon wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator or lemon juice on hand this season. Lemons are the scent of clean to most people.

When a guest arrives put a lemon slice down the garbage disposal and let run for a few seconds. That will send a burst of lemon scent throughout the kitchen. Squirt some lemon juice in the bathroom sink to freshen the water closet and if you need some extra kick from the lemon, put the rhines in a cup of hot water and walk the steam around the house.

The power of lemons will make your guest senses think you just cleaned.

Keep Snakes Away.

Problem: I found a snake while gardening, How do I keep them away?

Tip from Tia: Snakes can roam and roam into areas that can take you off guard and places where you don’t want them.

Coolest tip to know about snakes is, the eyes. If the eyes are in front of the head, don’t worry, no matter what color. If eyes are on the side of the head, you may want to call pest control and stay away from snapping reach. Remember, they can snap 3/4 the size of their body length.

There are products on the market that can repel snakes, but I’m not positive on what reaction it has on house pets.

First Tip… Moth balls smell strong and that odor will drive snakes away. Moth balls have toxins, but the smell is usually what keeps most animals and things away, usually including household pets. (It can make your pet ill, if eaten. But the smell usually keeps them from trying to eat.)

Place a single moth ball every so many feet, around the outside perimeter of your home structure. Start with putting a few under any decks or sheds attached to the house first, and move in clock or counter-clock wise way around the house. This leaves a way, for the pest to retreat. You can place them the same way, around the outside structures of sandboxes or before you reach the decking of pools.

Second Tip… Be sure to keep your landscape clean, well trimmed and rake up leaves and other debris. Snakes and other pest like piles, so remove piles as quickly as created, when doing landscaping.

And, Finally… The easiest solution that I recommend is, get ceramic or carved animals like the owl or other big bird statues and place it around the pool, sand box or around the house. Snakes can’t see like we do; they see silhouettes, and they can see from far away. So, when the snake sees the outline of the giant predator they will go the other way.
