Stupid Tip Of The Day; cooking oil to a hot frying pan
Don’t do it! If you don’t know what happens, ask a fireman! It can burst out of control in a blink of an eye.
 If cooking, and you need to add oil, remove pan from heat, allow it to cool for a couple minutes, and then you can add extra cooking oil, while still using caution.

Problem: I put on sunburn relief gel and it made my burn worse. My mom said I could be allergic to something in it.
Tip from Tia:
Absolutely! Anytime you put a chemical on your body and it starts to burn, sting or itch intensively, get it off right away. That is a sure sign your body doesn’t like it. Sometimes water doesn’t help in stopping the reaction, so have milk and vinegar close by, to neutralize it if necessary. And, be sure to try the milk first, if water makes it feel worse initially. Then, use the vinegar if the milk still hasn’t helped.
With sunburn relief gels, camphor could be the source of the allergy, but you may need to do a trial and error to find the exact source. Good news though, there are products out there without that in it, that work just as well.
I still stick with rubbing alcohol on sunburn. For bad burns, apply cornstarch once the alcohol dries, for burning relief. Take some over the counter pain relievers, if necessary. And, be sure to call your doctor immediately if you have and swelling, blisters or intense pain. Sun poisoning is a serious condition and can stop summer fun, to a screeching halt.

The base of you neck tends to carry a large amount of your daily stress. When these muscles get tight or knotted, it can cause major headaches and backaches.
If you’ve had a headache or a back pain that you just can shake, try applying a slight pressure between the base of the neck and shoulder. If you feel the shock run straight to your consistent pain, then that’s center of your discomfort.
Gradually massage and add ice for 20 minutes on 20 minutes off. The next day you can apply heat with same 20 minute rule. Apply a menthol gel if you need deep relief.

Apples are great for most, but what many people don’t know is, there is a group of people out there allergic to apples.
If your mouth itches after eating an apple there is a chance you could have a slight to full blown apple allergy.
Contact your doctor if you become itchy or swell. Hands and feet tend to itch first during an allergic reaction.
And remember if you have allergies, let your partner know so they can stay clear of the things that set your allergies off. And, know theirs as well.
