Tip in Action: Tomatoes Before Sun?

Skin care is so important when entering the sun. Protecting the skin on the outside is important, but there are ways to protect your skin from the inside out.

Adults hitting that bloody Mary breakfast buffet when at the beach, before going sea side, may not be a bad idea.

Pump the kids up with tomato juice, before jumping in the pool could be a way to go, as well.

Tomatoes can help prevent the skin from absorbing the dangerous parts of UV rays.

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.

Quickie: Ouch, When You Get Burnt.

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.

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.
