Vacation Tips

Posted on August 17, 2007 by admin

Whether you’re traveling for a day or a month, summer trips can be the most exciting- and stressful part of the year. There’s so much planning, packing and organizing that a trip requires. And yet, while you’re working so hard to find suitable accommodations, meals and activities, it’s easy to forget about caring properly for your home while you’re away. Review these household tips before you go on vacation, to make sure that you return to the tidy home you left behind.

  • Clean out the fridge- It’s never fun to find that your macaroni has sprouted mold. It’s even less fun when the mold is a month old. If you are leaving for more than a day or two, make sure to empty the refrigerator of all perishables, especially any dairy products that will smell fierce, in addition to looking awful.
  • Cover the furniture- This is a tip that I learned from my grandmother, who travels frequently for extended periods of time. Covering the furniture prevents it from getting dusty. In especially sunny areas (or in the summer when the sun is the strongest), covering the furniture will also prevent it from sun damage.
  • Set Your Timers- One of the most important household tips before you go on vacation, setting your timers is critical for deterring thieves from your property. Whenever possible, stagger your timers daily, to confuse strangers even more. Although seasoned burglars may not be hindered by a timer, setting the outside light to go on after dark will make it more difficult for them to approach the house.
  • Stop the Mail- I can tell you from personal experience that it’s quite annoying to return home after a long trip (especially late at night), and have to fight the force of weeks of mail that has piled up underneath the mail slot. Stopping your mail is an easy way to avoid this messy pileup. Stopping your mail will also prevent packages from being left on your stoop and publicly announcing that you’re not home.
  • Stop the Newspaper- Not only will stopping the paper save you money, but it will prevent a pile of papers from attesting to your travel plans.
  • Give the Key to a Neighbor- Protect your home from unexpected catastrophes (who really wants to come home to a flood or fire?) and from thieves by making sure that a trusted neighbor has a key and can access the house in case of an emergency. Make sure he knows the alarm code if necessary. Make sure that your neighbor knows if anybody else has access to the house, so that he’ll be on the lookout for suspicious behavior.

You can enjoy your vacation with confidence by following these household tips. Before you go on vacation, make sure that you have done all you can to ensure the safety of your home. After that, just sit back, relax, and enjoy your time away.

Why does Sweat Stink?

Posted on August 17, 2007 by admin

huh good question huh? Did you know that you have 2 kinds of sweat glands in your armpit? According to David Partiser, M.D “One makes water and the other makes oily substance that produce an odor”.

One positive perspiration point:For some reason, most people who suffer from over-productive water sweat glands don’t have over-productive oil sweat glands!.

As for stinky feet, Dr. Partiser says there are no odor glands on the foot. “The smell is coming is coming from your feet being covered in socks and shoes, which create a warm, dark, breeding ground for smell-inducting bacteria,” he says. For sweeter feet, take your shoes and socks off as much as you can. your feet will be drier and thus less likely to cause odor. Just make sure that you rinse off your feet before you put on shoes.

Walking barefoot, even at home, can cause you to pick up potentially stenchy bacteria that won’t do you any favors once cozied up in your shoes.
