Have a Headache?

A lot of times people walk around with a terrible headache and can't figure out why.

I have learned that one of the most common signs of dehydration is a headache. Failure to drink enough water can cause your brain to shrink. Research shows that dehydration not only affects the size of the brain but also how it works, just 90 minutes of steady sweating can make your brain shrink as much as a year of ageing. The good news is that after a drink of water the brain will return to normal.

Lack of water also causes the grey matter to work harder to process the same information. Over days and weeks, lack of fluid could impact our performance at work, school and even on exam results.

So if you can, always try to keep a reusable bottle of water around for yourself and children.

Speed up your Ironing

When ironing, put a piece of aluminum foil under your ironing board cover. The foil will reflect the heat back through the clothing, smoothing wrinkles quicker.

Painful Kidney Stones

I had heard from several people how painful kidney stones could be. The funny thing is they would always say it's worst than having a baby. Mothers, we know their is no pain like when you are having your baby.

Well, I was at work one day and began noticing severe pains in my right lower side. I dismissed the pain, like many of us do, and continued on with my daily routine. Days went by and the pain came back again but, this time much worse. This time I was rushed to the hospital and had to undergo surgery for kidney stones.

What a terrrible ordeal. The surgery was over and I thought all would be fine. No such luck. About a month later kidney stones returned again. This time with a vengeance. Had surgery again and vowed I would research and find a way to rid myself of these evil little stones.

Ladies and gentlemen I found that grapes where a natural enemy of the kidney stone. It naturally and quickly breaks the stone down until it is gone. Now as a prevention matter I eat a bunch of grapes at least twice a month.

Bye, bye kidney stones. Since I began eating grapes on a continuous basis I have not had any kidney stones to return.

So for those of you who have had this same problem, give it a try!

Should I Use Microfiber towels?

Microfiber towels are the greatest when cleaning windows, mirrors or glass storm doors. They even work well when wet to remove stains from fabric furniture.

Did you know that microfiber towels are made up of 80 to 85 percent polyester, also known as plastic. Plastic can scratch sealants and coatings off of many surfaces after continued use.

So when cleaning surfaces that are painted or sealed, marbles, granites and even laminate, please remember that microfiber towels can damage when used often.

Toilet Bowl Rings

If you have embarrassing and ugly toilet bowl rings here is an easy fix to get rid of them.

You will need a pair of gloves and a pumice stone. Yes, I did say pumice stone. The kind you use to remove dry skin from your feet.

Put on your gloves and then to makes things easier shut off the water to the toilet by turning the shut off valve, usually located to the right of the toilet. Flush the toilet one time, this will help to lower the water in the bowl so that you can begin scrubbing directly on the ring. Don't worry the stone will not scratch or damage the porcelain bowl. Continue rubbing the ringed area until removed. When scrubbing take time to splash a little water on the area from time to time.

When finished turn the water back on by turning shut off valve again. Flush and be proud of your new shiny and clean toilet bowl.

Antibacterial products and Septic tanks

If you are one of the many people whose home is on a septic system, dont use antibacterial soaps, shampoos, liquid dish soaps or laundry detergents. Septic systems depend on enzymes in order to break down solid waste. Antibacterial soaps and detergents kill the necessary enzymes that are needed to carry out this process.

How Mobile Phone Recycling can Benefit You and the Environment

I am passionate about recycling and helping our planet. I also think that we should all try to contribute to being greener and having a more positive impact on the world. I work with a comparison website that compares prices when you recycle mobile phones. They want to see more phones recycled which in turn means less pollution in landfill sites and less mining for new materials, which, destroys habitats for wildlife. I am pleased to write as a guest and hope I have helped you think about recycling.

"There's An App For That" Officially Belongs to Apple

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="IMAGE PROVIDED BY: VENTUREBEAT.COM"][/caption]

So we all know that Apple is trademark and patent happy when it comes to their "innovations", so why would one of the more notable phrases from arguably one of the most popular tech companies for one the most popular tech devices be any different.

Gone are the days of jokingly mentioning "There's an App for That" unless you want a small legal team to remind you it's not yours with a strongly worded "cease-and-desist" letter. Now, "There's an App for That" belongs to Apple exclusively. What does this do to their competitors - nothing, but it sure makes an interesting story.
