Stupid Tip of the Day: Tiny Holes in the House Don’t Matter.
Whether you own or rent your home,whether it’s a house or apartment; structural inspections several times of year, are important. I recommend seasonal inspections are the best time to inspect, because of the weather changes.
Finding small holes in exterior walls and interior walls along with dry wall, can allow many pest to pass through very easily, large or small.
With exterior walls stuffing with steel wool and/or a bag of broken glass and insulation will keep pests like mice, snakes and other larger pests out of your home.
For interior holes use steel wool and patch with compound. Don’t forget to fill in holes around wires and plumbing; spots that are usually overlooked when pests are a problem.
Doing a structural inspection can help in preventing large problems, because you may be able to discover a problem a lot sooner.

When cooking or working with something hot, there is always a danger of getting burnt. When celebrating holidays there are more causes for burns, like roasting marshmallows, fireworks, sparklers, grills and fire pits. REMEMBER, If it is a severe burn seek medical attention immediately.
If you happen to get a slight burn, put your skin under luke-warm water while letting the temperature increase to cold, it will start to neutralize the burn.
Once you remove the burn from cold water, pour soy sauce onto the burn. It will help draw out the burn and sting. Apply antibiotic ointment to the burn. Repeat ointment treatment till skin is healed.

Stupid Tip of the Day: Use a Dish Towel to Dry That!
Some swear by using dish towels to help in saving the environment and some people have a hard time using anything but disposable to dry something. Well, the truth is, it comes down to what you feel comfortable with.
But, if you are going to use a dish towel to do your drying duties, don’t make these crucial mistakes…
Be sure to throw the used towel in the wash if it was used for drying anything other than a clean clear liquid, example freshly washed dishes. If it was used to clean up a spill of soda or wiping up a chemical, washing it, is necessary.
After drying your dishes, hang it either where it has an open air flow or simply toss it in a fluff cycle in the dryer.
Folding a wet towel can cause bacterias to grow in between the folds. Letting it dry by air , requires the towel to be open and airy.
Be sure to throw your used towels in the laundry every few days, to keep fresh.
If going green is your thing and reusing cloth towels are for you, just remember these simple tips, so you don’t contaminate clean surfaces with yucky bacterias.

Problem: Hello Tia, I was wondering if you knew if sinus and allergy pills can affect your mood. I’ve been feeling nervous, and someone said it could be my pills, but I’ve been on them for a long time.
Tip from Tia:
Well, first off, you should contact your doctor about this issue. Yes, these medications, as well as others, can affect your moods. Chronic sinus issues can cause depression, and the meds to help can cause other mood disturbances.
No matter the length of time you’ve been on sinus pills, your system can change at any time. But only your doctor can help you determine the cause.
Medication Can Stop Working
Unfortunately, it is possible for sinus pills to stop working the way they should. Over time, your body can become accustomed to the medication, and it may not be as effective as it was when you first started taking it. This is known as developing a tolerance.
Additionally, if you have been taking the same sinus medication for a long period of time, your body may become resistant to it, meaning it no longer has the desired effect.
There are also other factors that can contribute to a medication losing its effectiveness. For example, if you are not taking the medication as directed or if you are not taking the correct dosage, it may not work as well.
If you find that your sinus medication is no longer working, it’s important to speak with your doctor. They can assess your symptoms and recommend a different medication or treatment plan that may be more effective for you.
Ingredients in some medications can speed up the heart or cause a jittery feeling.
If you are taking sinus medication on a regular basis, you must take care of your heart health. Here are a few things you can do:
Read the labels: Look at the label on your medication to see if there are any warnings or precautions for people with heart conditions. Some medications can increase heart rate or blood pressure, so it’s important to be aware of any potential risks.
Talk to your doctor: If you have a history of heart disease or high blood pressure, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor before taking any medication for sinus problems. They can advise you on the best course of treatment and help you avoid any potential risks.
Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help keep your blood pressure in check and prevent dehydration, which can strain your heart.
Watch your caffeine intake: Many sinus medications contain caffeine, which can also increase heart rate and blood pressure. If you’re already sensitive to caffeine or have a heart condition, it’s best to avoid or limit your caffeine intake.
Manage stress: Stress can also have an impact on your heart health, so it’s important to find ways to manage stress while taking sinus medication. Try deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga to help reduce stress levels.
Exercise regularly: Regular exercise can help keep your heart healthy, but if you’re taking sinus medication, it’s important to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard. Stick to low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, or cycling.
By following these tips, you can help protect your heart while taking medication for sinus problems.
Natural Allergy Remedy
A tip to help naturally relieve allergies and sinus pressure and calm the nerves are by using aroma therapy. Don’t knock it till you try it, is all I have to say. Not only are the scents soothing, but inhaling or applying them to the skin can have healing properties.
So try using some lavender and pine oils to help with allergies and sinus problems. Breathing in deeply can also help calm your nerves.Â
