Stupid Tip of the Day: Protection is Protection.

Yeah, I don’t think so.

When it comes to that magic moment you don’t want anything to ruin the momentum, but in fact you must remember to think first and act second. It can be a scary world out there if you are not in a committed relationship and don’t protect yourself.

Studies are always coming up with new numbers, but it can be safe to say 1 out of 3 over the age of 14 has the potential of having an STD. So to put it bluntly, wrap it up. If you are responsible enough to have sex, you are responsible to be in charge of protecting yourself. Sex responsibility is not sexist.

Birth control does only that, protects you against giving birth, and is not 100% effective. Condoms are the way to protect yourself from pregnancy and STD’s, but as you also know, they too are not 100% effective. It may sound cliche’ but, abstinence is the only full proof way to keep clear of both, pregnancy and STD’s.

Using a plastic bag or wrap, is not the same thing as a condom, no matter what your friends may tell you. Plastic wrap only protects your food from freezer burn. (not 100% effective) No matter how much the urge has taken over, take the time to get the proper protection, because protection is not always protection.

It’s Cloudy, You Don’t Need Sunblock. Stupid Tip of the Day:

Stupid Tip of the Day: It’s Cloudy, You Don’t Need Sunblock.

One of the biggest mistakes people make with skin care is not using sun protection on hazy days. Even if the sun isn’t shining, be sure to put on an SPF with UVA.

Those sun rays are still beaming through the clouds and have the potential to give a deep burn, without noticing until it’s too late.

One of the worst burns I ever got was on the beach on a cloudy, cold day. So, be careful and wear your SPF. If you’re on a beach or an open area, wearing a hat to help keep those rays at bay, can help. And, wearing sunglasses in the haze, can protect your eyes from those dangers, as well.

Stupid Tip of the Day: Help Reduce Bruises.

Have you said, “I don’t know where I got that bruise”? Do you bruise easily? Or, have you just started noticing little bruises on your knees, legs and arms? Did you talk to your doctor and you appear to be in fine health, otherwise?

Some may say, “oh it’s no big deal, its just a few bruises. I get them all the time,”. That could be true, but sometimes the body gives you warning signs, about the smallest of it’s needs.

Bruising could be a sign that you are missing nutrients. Try ingesting some more calcium with Vitamin D. And, reduce your bruising by eating pineapple.

Tiny Holes in the House Don’t Matter. Stupid Tip of the Day:

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.

Use a Dish Towel to Dry That! Stupid Tip of the Day:

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.
