Avoid impulse online purchase

Do not save your personal information in a web store, instead, reenter your billing and shipping info every time you place an order. This extra effort can prevent an impulse purchase, since storing the data makes transactions so quick that you do not have enough time to think twice about your action.

Pet nail-clipping nick

Accidentally, you clipped your pet’s toenail too short and now it is bleeding. As long as the cut is minor, you can apply a pinch of cornstarch onto the wound and use your finger to, very gently, press the area for about 1 to 2 minutes, helping to speed coagulation. You do not need to brush off the product.

Hold an ice pack against the stains until they are frozen. Scrape off the ice (and pigment) with an old credit card, and waxy remains should come right off. Dabbing at the marks will push the color deeper into the wood and ruin the floor.
