Because I’m impossibly clumsy, and I understand that one can’t be taken seriously with a large splotch of coffee on one’s shirt, I have learned to clean stains, in all their various forms, on many different fabrics. When removing stains, there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all, with the exception of suede, getting to your stain quickly is crucial. I act swiftly by doing what the professionals do; I separate stains into categories depending on how they can be treated. After spilling ice cream on my new dress shirt, I leap into stain- cleaning action. I also keep a stain removal guide pinned up in my laundry room. If you have children, or you yourself are just plain awkward, you’ll benefit from reading my latest article on how to clean stains.
For the last few weeks, I’ve been on a mission to lose weight and reveal the Greek God that lies dormant underneath my flab. I’ve been eating less and exercising vigorously for at least an hour each day, and to my chagrin, the scale says I’ve gained five pounds. At first I was a bit perplexed, but then I remembered that water weight gain goes hand in hand with the lifestyle changes I have made. To get the scale moving in the other direction, I have to get rid of water weight. Exercise isn’t the only path to water weight gain. Women experience it every month and during pregnancy. A diet lacking essential vitamins and nutrients can also lead to an excess of water weight. Water weight can also be attributed to medication, hypertension, and a slew of lifestyle choices. Luckily, there are many practical ways to get rid of water weight - for example, drinking plenty of fluids can help stave off the liquid rolls. This may seem contradictory, but for many, staying well hydrated is the only treatment necessary. Read my latest article on how to get rid of water weight through diet, exercise, supplements, and other natural remedies.
When I was very young, I remember going to old farms that belonged to the family. I loved playing with all the animals and the interesting bugs. I recall running into a large garden, sending a white storm of insects into the air. I laughed and made sure everyone saw what I had accomplished. My uncle Harris didn’t laugh. The sun-burnt creases in his frown spoke of years of fighting vermin and pests to pry a living from the earth. He knew that you don’t play with whiteflies, you get rid of whiteflies. I wish I could go back in time now and really impress Harris - whose opinion I hold dear - by getting rid of those whiteflies employing the green-yet-effective pest control methods I’ve garnered as a gardener. Because playing god is fun, I’d use biological controls to get rid of whitflies. I would purchase a barbarian hoard of ladybugs - which are cheap and crop friendly - to devour the whiteflies. The whitefly is an extremely tough insect that swiftly adapts to any pesticide regimen. Avoid years of defeat and handwringing by learning about the many safe, effective ways to get rid of whiteflies in my newest article.
