About BugsAway®
BugsAway® apparel is treated with Insect Shield®, giving you invisible, odorless protection just by putting on your clothes. The treatment is bound to fabric fibers, so it stays in your clothes—not on your skin—and lasts through 70 washes. Ants, flies, chiggers and midges can't stand it, and neither can ticks and mosquitoes, those pesky carriers of many insect-borne diseases. Insect repellent clothing adds an extra layer of protection from the Zika virus.
Womens BugsAway Damselfly Jacket, featuring Insect Shield® technology, is packable bug protection. This lightweight jacket stuffs into its own security zip pocket. Reinforced shoulders hold up under straps, and the hood keeps insects away from your ears and face. Permethrin, the active ingredient in Insect Shield, is invisible, odorless, and so tightly bonded to the fabric fibers that it retains effective repellency through the life of the garment. It repels mosquitoes (including those carrying West Nile virus and malaria), ticks, ants, flies, chiggers and midges (no-see-ums). Insect Shield repellent lasts 70 washings.

Being a grown-up is not as easy as it looks and part of what makes it so difficult is the fact that you now have to take care of your own home. Many quick and easy fixes exist that make home maintenance and putting things in their place a whole lot easier. Finding it hard to keep your bathroom smelling fresh? You can use essential oils to make sure it smells great all the time. Did you know that you already own a household tool that is ideal for picking up pet hair? These home hacks will help you make chores simpler, create storage out of thin air and hopefully improve your quality of life!
Attach a Car Air Freshener to Your Fan
If you need to get your home smelling sweet but are short on time, all you need is a car air fresher and a regular household fan. Purchase the kind that usually clips into a vent and attach it to your fan, being careful that it is not in the way of the rotor blades.
The moment you start that baby up, your house will be smelling like a peach, or any other scent you desire, in no time. All without having to spray aerosols inside your living space.
A Hanger Hack That Will Save You Space
Another problem we all face sometimes when shopping for new clothes is running out of closet space. If you don't feel like going through your clothes and getting rid of things you don't need, you can save some space by hanging two articles of clothing on each hanger.
Just remove the tab from a can of soda and place it on the neck of a hanger through one of the holes. That adds a place to hang another hanger from the bottom hole and you have two pieces of clothes that take up the space of one!
Clean the AC Vents in the Dishwasher
Your home may seem spotless, but one thing that is probably filthy are your air conditioning vents. They are easy to overlook, but if not cleaned regularly they are prone to collecting massive amounts of dust and then recirculating them into your house.
A simple and fast method of getting those vents sparkling is to put them in the dishwasher. Just make sure to blow dry the excess water off them (on the cool setting) before putting them back in place.
The Perfect Hiding Spot for Your Spare Key
Most people have locked themselves out of their house accidentally, which is why keeping a spare key around is always a good idea. The usual hiding places are under a potted plant or somewhere else near the front door, but burglars already know about those spots.
Instead, you can put your key into an empty bottle of pills and then glue a pinecone or something else which won't look out of place on your front lawn. Then, you bury the bottle in a place you are sure to remember near the door and you are all set.
Use Binder Clips in the Freezer
Frozen fruits for smoothies take up a lot of room in your freezer, and so do leftover vegetables from the new stir fry recipe you tried. It is hard to keep those bags sealed and organized, but a few binder clips can solve the problem.
Just clip the folded open end of your frozen vegetables or fruits to the middle rack of the freezer. They will be left hanging, freeing up extra space and letting you easily see what you already have and what you need to buy.
Organize Your Closet with Pot Lid Racks
Storage solutions may have been designed for your kitchen but that doesn't mean they have to stay there. A pot lid rack is the storage solution your cluttered closet didn't know it needed.
You can use one of these racks to organize your clutches, wallets and even small purses that used to take up space and create a big mess in your closet. This way when you are getting dressed, you have all your choices laid out for you and all you need to do is pick one.
Fresh Herbs Can Be Stored in the Freezer
If you love to cook then you are probably purchasing fresh herbs fairly often. The problem is it seems almost impossible to use the entire amount you buy at the supermarket before it goes bad. Instead of throwing them in the trash, you can put them in the freezer!
As soon as you get home from the farmer's market or pick your favorite herbs from your own garden, simply chop them up, put them in an ice cube tray with some olive oil and you have some seasoning ready for every occasion.
A Rubber Band Door Opener
Unloading the groceries from your car is heavy and difficult to handle even without having to deal with also opening the front door with your hands full. If your door just won't stay open, you can make your trips to the trunk a little easier by tying a rubber band to the doorknobs as shown below.
This hack will keep the door from latching, all you have to do is push it open to get through. An important safety tip when using this one, don't forget to take the rubber band off when you're done!
Shoe Organizers Aren't Just for Shoes
Everybody knows those plastic shoe organizers that hang on the back of closet doors with pockets for all your pairs of flat shoes. Here's a groundbreaking thought, you can use them for storing things that are not shoes!
A shoe organizer can help you get your pantry in order. You can use it to store the smaller items and to see everything you have in a single glance. They can also be a great place to store all the different cords and plugs that can be found everywhere around the house.
Use a Pringles Can to Store Spaghetti
Spaghetti noodles usually come in plastic bags that are almost impossible to reclose once you have opened them. If you only cook some of the noodles, the noodles that are left in the bag become a bit stale and also have a tendency to start falling out into your pantry.
Next time you are snacking on some Pringles, keep the empty can, clean it out, and it becomes the perfect container for noodles. It is just the right size, has a lid and will save you the trouble and expense of getting a special container.
Flatten Your Ground Beef Before Storing
Ground beef is a great thing to have around for a last-minute dinner fix, but if you are in a hurry, it may feel like forever while waiting for the beef to thaw out. You can speed up the process by flattening your ground beef in a gallon-sized freezer bag before putting it in the freezer.
The flat surface area of the beef will cause it to thaw out faster and it will also take up less room and be easier to stack in your freezer!
An Old Bottle Can Help Store Jewelry
Jewelry can sometimes be a hard thing to store and often ends up as a mess on the bedside table. If you haven't found a good way to store your bracelet collection, not only can you never find the one you want to wear, you may even lose some pieces underneath the furniture.
The neck of an empty bottle can be the perfect storage space. It will not only keep your bracelets and hair ties organized and accessible but will also give new purpose to the empty drink receptacle you have enjoyed but not discarded.
Use Labels to Identify Your Cords
When you use an extension cord or a power strip to power several things in your home, it can become confusing which cord belongs to which item, especially when they all get tangled up over time. If you need to unplug something, you have to start following cords to find out which belongs to the device you're trying to find.
You can avoid this confusion by labeling the different cords with bread tags or washi tape and using a permanent marker to identify the devices which they belong to.
Your Boots Will Stay Upright With Pool Noodles
As soon as the first leaves fall, women can't wait to pull out their beloved winter boots, but in warmer weather, they are typically put away for the season and their storage conditions are less than ideal. If the tall part is left flopping all summer, creases can spoil the footwear's nice lines.
In order to keep your boots standing tall all year long, just put pool noodles inside them. Simply cut the noodles into the appropriate length and place them into the boots.
Command Hooks Are Also Good for the Holidays
If you are a fan of DIY, you probably already have your share of home hacks and know that Command hooks are the greatest. These small and sticky friends can help hang almost anything on the wall without puncturing holes or leaving a trace.
A way you may not have considered using these hooks for is to hang holiday wreaths and other decorations on the front door. All you have to do is place the hook on the inside of your door upside down, use a string and your decoration can hang on the other side.
Cure Carpet Dents with Ice Cubes
If you have wall to wall carpeting then you are definitely familiar with this problem, when you move the furniture the dents in the carpet just won't go away. If you have guests coming over and you want everything to look nice, you can put some ice cubes in the dents.
After the ice has melted completely, the dent will be gone, but you have to make sure that you wipe off the excess water and fluff out the carpet. Take into account that this may take up to 12 hours to work completely.
A Rubber Band Can Help with Stripped Screws
Sometimes you are working on something, and everything is going great until you encounter one stripped screw and it keeps you from finishing the entire project. Your screwdriver can hardly get it moving, but you just sit there and keep trying while getting more and more frustrated.
If this happens to you again, try putting a rubber band in between the screw head and the screwdriver. The rubber band lets the screwdriver get a better grip and you can at least ease the screw out. If anyone asks, you definitely loosened it up a little.
Hiding Your Router
These days it is hard to live without Wi-Fi, making a router a must-have item in every home. Unfortunately, most routers are not as appealing to the eye as they are functional. If you can't stand that eyesore anymore, you can hide it with some innovative decorating ideas.
You can place your router in a pretty box and cut out a hole for the cords. Or you could make yourself look smarter by building a fake bookcase to store it upright.
All You Need for This Hack Is an Empty Bottle
People who are enthusiastic about home décor may have large vases full of ornamental items like glass beads or wine corks placed strategically around their house. But what happens when you are not a big wine drinker?
Instead of chugging down some wine, inviting over people you don't like for a drink or running up a tab at the local craft store buying more and more glass beads, you can simply put an empty bottle into the vase first! It will take up space, meaning you will need fewer beads or corks to fill it up, while still maintaining the illusion of a full vase.
A Wine Cork Can Also Serve as a Chip Clip
Whenever you need to close an open bag of chips or some other half-eaten snack, you never seem to be able to find any of your chip clips around. If you don't feel like searching your entire house again, there is a way to make your own clip from an old wine cork.
All you have to do is slice half the cork down the middle and use the slit you created to close your folded bag of chips.
Desk Organizers Can Be Used in Other Parts of Your Home
Despite your best efforts, pantries can quickly become cluttered and messy. Open bags and boxes of food become mixed with various spices and soon you can't find anything or even worse have everything topple when you reach for something.
Old and unused desk organizers can actually solve this problem. You can use them to organize some of the smaller items inside your pantry. If you have the room and a little technical skill, you can even attach them to your wall, freeing up more shelf space to accommodate larger items.
Use Your Beverage Dispenser as a Detergent Dispenser
Is there a beverage dispenser somewhere in your house? If there is, it's most likely dusty and unused and is just another item taking up space around your house. If you are not the kind of person who hosts parties all the time, you probably barely use that old thing.
You can repurpose your unused dispenser and turn it into a laundry soap dispenser. Fill it with liquid detergent and you can make sure you use the right amount for every wash and your laundry area will even look better.
An Egg Carton Is the Perfect Holder for Near-Empty Condiments
There are few things more annoying in life than trying to squeeze the last few squirts of ketchup or mustard from the bottom of the bottle. You know there is plenty left in there and you don't want to be wasteful and simply throw it out.
We have all tried to balance the nearly empty bottles upside down just to have them fall over time and time again. An egg carton will help you keep the condiments with the lid down and hold them steady so that you can squeeze out every last drop.
A Magnetic Way of Keeping Your Hammer and Nails Together
Most people don't use a hammer and nails all that often. You know you have both somewhere in your house, but when the need arises, you often can't find one or the other. This is not only irritating but can also be dangerous because it is never a good idea to have nails just lying around.
If you want to avoid this mess and keep them together and organized, you can attach a small magnet to the bottom of your hammer. That will make sure that the nails stick around for when you want to use them.
Old Tubes Make a Good Home for Cables
If there is a drawer in your house that you prefer not to open because it is full of unused cords and cables, this is the hack for you. Obviously, what you want is to be able to find the cable you need in an organized and efficient manner, but how can you tell which cords are which?
Fold your cords neatly and place them inside an empty tube of toilet paper or paper towels cut down to size. Don't forget to write which kind of cord is in which tube or else you will be back at square one.
The Secret Switch Your Ceiling Fan May Have
Most people have at some point in their lives noticed that warm air rises. That is because it is less dense than cool air. That means that in the winter months you are missing out on the nice warm air your heating produces, but there may just be a switch on your ceiling fan that can help with that.
Many ceiling fans come equipped with a small switch that can change the direction of the fan blades. During the winter you can click that switch to get the blades to move in a clockwise direction, causing the warm air to be pushed from the ceiling towards the floor.
Pool Noodles Bumpers
Pool noodles have many different uses. This time they come to the rescue of people with small garages, big cars or both. If you have either of these problems, just slice a pool noodle in half and stick the pieces on the walls on both sides of your garage.
When you park your car and open the doors, they will softly open against the noodle instead of scraping the walls. This simple act will help you keep your car dent free and your walls free of scuff marks.
Essential Oils in the Bathroom
Let's face it, bathrooms don't smell like roses all the time and most people use aerosol sprays when they need to be freshened up. Those are usually a momentary solution, for longer-lasting results try using essential oils.
Simply place a few drops of your favorite essential oil on the cardboard of the toilet paper roll. Whenever someone pulls some out, the essential oil will be released into the air and freshen things right up!
Use a Garment Bag to Store Wrapping Paper
After the holiday season ends, you always find yourself with all kinds of leftover wrapping paper rolls that take up space in a closet or the garage. The worst part is that they keep falling over and become crinkled over time, meaning that by the time next Christmas rolls around, they won't be in the best shape.
You can fix this problem by storing your extra wrapping paper in a garment bag. It is long enough for the entire roll and can also be hung up to conserve floor space that may be needed for other holiday leftovers.
A Squeegee Is Not Just for Squeegeeing
Having a pet is a wonderful experience, but what isn't wonderful is the sheer mass of fur that can collect on your floor and especially your wall to wall carpeting. You can try and keep up with it by vacuuming regularly but sometimes even that isn't enough to get rid of it all!
The next time you are planning to vacuum, you can try using a squeegee first to loosen the pet hair from the carpet. That way you can get out the toughest clumps before beginning to vacuum.
Tongs Can Help Clean Your Blinds
Window shades and blinds are great dust collectors, but cleaning them is one of the most boring household chores. You can make it go by faster and more efficiently by dusting them with a pair of kitchen tongs.
All you have to do is fasten some microfiber cloths or an old t-shirt to the tongs with some rubber bands and you'll create a tool that can remove dust from the bottom and the top of the blinds all at once!
Use Magazine Holders to Hold Water Bottles
If you feel like you have more water bottles than you know what to do with, welcome to the club. Everyone somehow seems to accumulate numerous water bottles as the years go by, but somehow, it's still hard to just throw them away.
If an entire cabinet in your kitchen is unavailable due to water bottle storage, try keeping them in magazine holders instead. You save space and at least then your unused water bottles will be neat and organized.
Create Your Own Non-Slip Hanger With Hot Glue
The problem you are facing with your closet could have nothing to do with lack of space or hangers, but in the fact that all your pretty tops have a tendency to slip off their hangers and end up as a puddle on the floor. You don't have to buy special hangers to fix this problem, there is a solution that you can do all on your own.
Use a hot glue gun to squeeze a thin layer of glue on the "shoulders" of your hanger. After it dries, it should provide a good grip for all your silk blouses and fashionable tank tops.
Use a Tissue Box As a Holder for Plastic Bags
It seems like every household has their own secret stash of never-ending plastic bags. They are good for picking up after your dog, lining garbage cans and a million other things, but are usually an unsightly mess in and of themselves.
You can up-cycle an empty tissue box by putting plastic bags inside and turning it into a bag holder. You put the bags in with the loops sticking up and fold the end of each new bag into the loops. That way, each time you take out a bag, another one will already be waiting for you!
Use a Tension Rod for More Storage
Household cleaning supplies are usually stored separately under the sink in the kitchen or bathroom, but all the different kinds of products, plus the oddly shaped spray bottles, can take up a lot of space and cause cabinet clutter.
A tension rod can really help with this problem. You can find them at any hardware store, and they don't cost much. Hang one high at the front of the cabinet and you can line up your spray bottles on it, making them more accessible and creating more space underneath.
Sharpen Your Knives Using Ceramic
Dull knives are a real no-no in the kitchen. They make it much harder to chop food and are actually more likely to cause injury than sharp knives. If you don't own a knife sharpener or can't find one when you need it, you can instead use a household item that you already have in your cupboard.
The bottom of a ceramic bowl or mug is a good surface to sharpen your blade on, but if you are going to try this hack at home, please do so with caution!
Conserve Water by Doing This to Your Toilet
Saving water is more important than ever, and environmentally conscious households can do more than just shorten the lengths of their showers, they can also make sure that less is water is used every time they flush the toilet.
Instead of flushing less, which is kind of gross, all you have to do is put a jar full of water or a couple of bricks in the back of your toilet tank. When you flush, the tank will fill up with less water because of the space that the bricks take up.
Command Hooks Help Keep Bin Liners in Place
Your old plastic bags, which we assume are now in a neat tissue box, can be used as bin liners, but the downside to doing that is that heavy items can cause the bag to go in the trash along with them. You can keep them in place by using Command hooks.
You stick the hooks on the outside of the trashcan on either side and put the bag's loops around them. This will ensure that your liner stays in place and your hands can stay garbage free!
Use Shower Curtain Hooks as Hangers
We've all had the experience of coming back from shopping with some great new clothes, only to discover that we don't have any free hangers to put them on. This can be aggravating, especially when you take into account that you just came in and don't want to go out again just to buy some more.
Instead, you can just use some shower curtain hooks! They don't take up a lot of space in your closet and are perfect for clothes that have loops, such as jackets or jeans.
Save Some Paint for a Rainy Day
A freshly painted room can make you feel warm and fuzzy all over. Just changing the color of the wall can completely transform the way a room looks and feels, but it is really aggravating to see your hard work marred when furniture bumps into the walls and leaves an ugly mark.
You don't need to save a big messy paint can to solve this problem, all you have to do is take an empty baby food jar and save a small amount of paint in it. That way you can dispose of the paint properly, but still, have enough left over to do some touch-ups and keep everything looking great.
Store Plastic Bags in Wet Wipes Container
Accumulative plastic bags can really get in the way. You can bunch it up and stuff it in a drawer, but that is never very pleasing to the eyes. What can one do with all these excess bags? For starters, you can start recycling, or you can also stop taking store bags back with you. But if you already have them, there is a better solution.
If you have a bunch of bags that you don't know where to put, you can take an old container of disinfecting wipes and place them in there. The pull and grab system is super convenient and you can store it wherever you like.
Use Ice Cubes Remove To Remove Candle Wax
It sounds like a stretch, but dripping candle wax can get anywhere, and it can certainly get into your furniture. If this ever happens to you, the first thing you should know is to never, under any circumstances scrape it off your couch. That can only make things worse.
What you should do, however, is take a plastic bag, fill it up with some ice-cubes and gently dab it over the wax. Let it sit for a few minutes until the wax has cooled and hardened. Once that has happened, you can easily peel it off any surface.
Clean Scratches with Toothpaste
Our household goods and furniture are subject to a lot of wear and tear. Kids' feet, animals, accidents, spills, and more. You name it. When you stop to take a look around, you can start noticing a lot of scratches here and there. But before you start panicking and splurge on a new living room, you can simply go to your bathroom.
Toothpaste can take care of a lot of scratches. You can just rub it on those unsightly marks until they smooth out. Put just a dollop of toothpaste on the scratch and slowly buff it out in a circular motion. Clean up the rest with a damp towel.
Get Rid of Sticky Residue With Oil
It's great to re-use old jars and bottles. Those things can be really useful, but what happens when you re-label it or at least scrape off the last one and all that old sticky residue is still there from the last label.
Just use cooking oil, it's as easy as...pie. Rub some oil on the stickiness with some cotton and just watch how easily it comes off when you wipe it. Now you can repurpose old jars and stick whatever you want on them, or just leaves them clean and use them as decorative pieces on your window sill. It's great in front of the light.
Keep Your Flowers Upright with Straws
Everybody loves a big vase of flowers but it's sad when they start to wilt away and get all floppy. We can't make flowers last longer, but we can keep them standing at least for longer than they do normally.
To do this, you can just place plastic straws around the stem of the flower so that they don't start dropping. It doesn't affect the health of the flowers and it makes them look a little more pleasing to the eye.
Patch up Windowscreen Holes with Nail Polish
Be aware that this is for smaller holes and cracks. If you have a massive hole in your window screen, you might need to replace it, but for minor ones, you can just use clear nail polish.
Just paint the crack with some transparent nail polish and it will be as good as new in no time.
Messy Ceramic Top? Use a Magic Eraser
Cooktops made of ceramic are really neat and a great alternative to other types of stovetops, but unfortunately they're not great to clean. While there should be specialty made type sponges for these types of stoves, currently, technology isn't there. But there is an alternative.
Just use a Magic Eraser. The texture of the sponge is perfect for tough grease stains and oil build-up. Just a few swipes and your ceramic stover top will be spick and span.
Light Up Dark Cabinets with LED Lights
Unfortunately, not all of us can afford fancy cabinet lighting that comes with our kitchen units. Some of us have to put up with dark cabinets. This can be rather annoying when you're trying to rummage around for some cereal or a jar of peanut butter.
You don't need to walk through kitchen supplies with a flashlight or candle. You can just install some LED lights in the shelves so that you see everything clearly. They are pretty cheap and look pretty sleek if you ask us.
Throw Dishwashing Liquid into Your Blender
Cleaning a blender can be a real headache. Not only that, but it can be potentially pretty dangerous. Sticking your hand into blades can cut your hand up into ribbons. No one wants that. There are safer ways though. You can try dishwashing liquid.
Add the dish soap to your blender, two cups of warm water and blend it together until the food residue washes away. It's super safe and totally efficient.
Avoid a Cluttered Kitchen Cabinet By Hanging Up Pots and Pans
No space for an overhead rack in your kitchen space? No problem. The best way to make space in small places is to stop stacking and start hanging. Simply place some corkboard on the inside of the cabinet and stick on adhesive hooks. You can hang all your pots and pans and have tons of space.
No need to drill holes or knock-in nails. Sticking on wood is just as good and is completely hassle-free.
Hang Up Heavy Utensils Too
Once you've started sticking up hooks, you will find that you will have endless space. You can hang up bigger utensils like spatulas, strainers, larger spoons and ladles even larger hanging knives like cleavers and chef knives.
This can really take away the frustration of a messy kitchen. It's also much easier to find.
Peg Down Your Toothbrush
Bathroom surfaces are a breeding ground for bacteria. It's best not to leave your things strewn on the counter, especially your toothbrush. That is one item you don't want getting infected with unwanted bacteria.
The best way to avoid is this simply stick a clothespeg on the counter and clip your toothbrush in there. This will hold your toothbrush in place and elevate it above the counter.
Wrap an Elastic Band Around a Soap Dispenser
Why? You make to ask yourselves. Well, this is a great way to be careful with your soap usage. It's good to not wasteful and this is a good way to do so. Just wrap a rubber band around you soap dispenser so you don't squeeze all your soap away.
This will also save you some good money because you won't be running to the store every week for a new bottle.
Keep a Fitted Sheet in Place with Suspenders
Sometimes fitted sheets can just slip right off the corners of the bed. It's no use keeping them down yourself and nobody enjoys sleeping on a bare mattress! There is a reason the bed sheet was invented! To avoid this problem, just dig out a pair of suspenders.
Simply clip them on each side of the bed on each corner with the suspenders and your sheet will stay put for sure. You will never have to worry about keeping them down again until you change your bedding, that is.
Trash Bags Sticking to the Trash Can? Just Drill a Hole
Nothing is more frustrating than removing a sticky and garbage bag from the bin, only to discover that the poor bag is holding on to dear life. It's messy and it's kind of gross too. Thankfully, with a little help from some household tools, you can solve this in a jiffy.
All you have to do is drill a hole into the bottom of the trash can and there you go. This gets rid of the vacuum-like seal that makes the bag stick to the floor of the can.
The Tennis Ball Protected Door Knob
Sharing a home with someone who has trouble keeping the noise levels down can be tiresome. Shushing someone day in and day out is not an ideal way to control the noise, especially when they seem to convey that they don't care. This usually manifests itself in the loud opening and shutting of doors.
To avoid the jarring sound of an offensive door handle, you can just simply place a tennis ball over it. Slit the ball open and wrap it around the doorknob so that when the door hits the wall, it'kk gently bounce right off.
Foam Noodle For Your Car Door
This can be especially useful in the cities where other cars are close by or you're often parking near walls and buildings. Opening car doors in confined spaces can be particularly hazardous and you certainly don't want to damage someone else's car either.
The good news is that you can just use an old foam pool noodle that you have lying around the basement, cut it, and just attach it to the door handle. This way you won't ever accidentally scratch your car again. You can even tape it along your garage walls.
Cover Your Alarm System with a Painting
Alarms keep us safe from potential danger. But they don't look so pretty doing it. In fact, alarm systems can look rather unsightly. It would be inadvisable to remove these devices just because they don't look good. You can, however, do some alarm redecorating.
Take a piece of art and just decorate your alarm system. You can use some hinges and simply cover the alarm with your beautiful design. It's easy and it looks great.
Use Masking Tape Before Nailing the Walls
If you want to hang up a painting, here's a tip. Before you go hammering into your plaster walls, be sure to use masking tape or painter's tape over the desired area. This prevents flaking and cracking in the walls.
Now you can have crack-free walls. While the painting might cover it up, it's still important to look after your house.

This year the UK's largest and longest running oral health campaign takes place between 16 May and 16 June and aims to increase awareness of important oral health issues and make a significant difference to the well-being of millions of people. Together, with thousands of individuals and organisations, National Smile Month promotes three key messages at the heart of good oral health; brush your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day with a fluoride toothpaste, cut down on how often you eat sugary foods and drinks, and visit the dentist regularly, as often as they recommend. This year sees the 40th birthday of National Smile Month and to mark the occasion the charity wants to go even further and see more dental and healthcare professionals than ever involved in spreading key oral health messages. CEO of the Oral Health Foundation, Dr Nigel Carter OBE, laid down the gauntlet for professionals to get involved in 2016. Dr Carter said: "This is a special year for National Smile Month as we proudly celebrate our 40th birthday. For the past four decades, with your help, we have been campaigning to change the course of oral health. "In 2015 the campaign reached unprecedented levels with an excess of 4,000 organisations registering their interest to take part and promote better oral health, but this year we want to go even further. "We want to reach as many schools, community groups, local workforces and individuals as possible. With your help we can have a real impact on the nations oral health and really see our birthday go with a real bang. "With your support the campaign reaches more than 50 million people each year and every time it amazes me to see how many of you actively get involved in National Smile Month. "We can look back on the last 40 years since the very first campaign and see how it has coincided with some of the major oral health improvements in the UK. "Much of the credit for these improvements goes to hard working dental professionals who go out into their local communities during the campaign to educate of the importance of good oral hygiene. By getting involved with the campaign, together, with your help, we can herald even further improvements." National Smile Month 2016 sees the return of the now iconic smiley, something which Dr Carter believes symbolises exactly what the campaign is all about. "By giving people the opportunity to get actively involved with the campaign through elements such as the smiley we are able to have a real impact. Alongside education, National Smile Month is about having fun to reach out to people to drive the public's interest in oral health. "Share your #MySmileySelfie with us on social media and show how you are helping to provide better oral health for all." National Smile Month is being supported by some of the nation's best-known brands and retailers. Wrigley's Extra, Oral-B as platinum sponsors of the campaign, with further support from Polo and Philips Sonicare. Polly Garland, Wrigley Oral Healthcare Programme Manager, said: "Wrigley is delighted to continue sponsoring National Smile Month, a great reminder to dental professionals to encourage patients to include sugarfree gum as part of their oral hygiene routine. "Our busy, on-the-go lifestyles mean we often graze throughout the day, and so it's crucial for oral health recommendations to adapt to allow for oral healthcare on the go. "Research has shown that chewing sugarfree gum after eating or drinking can help neutralise plaque acids and promote the remineralisation of tooth enamel, and therefore help to keep our smiles clean and healthy. "We are excited that this National Smile Month will see the launch of the Extra® Smile BackTM Project, an initiative created with the aim of promoting and protecting children's oral health in the UK, encouraging children to smile confidently back at the day." Jane Kidson, Oral B Professional Oral Health UK Country Leader, said: "Oral-B, platinum sponsors of National Smile Month, are encouraging practices to support the campaign reminding patients how to improve oral health. Reinforcing daily brushing and eating habits as well as visiting the oral care professional is key to improving the nation's oral health." If you have not done so yet, simply register your details to support and take part in National Smile Month. Registration only takes a couple of minutes and is completely free, by registering you will receive our amazing National Smile Month Registration Pack which includes everything you need to kick start your involvement in the campaign.

Eczema is a skin disorder which is mostly characterized by red, dry and scaly skin accompanied by severe itching. There is a wide range of natural cure for eczema which will help you to thoroughly and carefully cleanse your skin with no irritation, allowing you to heal naturally.
Natural moisturizers or skin lotion is the best natural cure for eczema of all, particularly those which contain licorice extracts and blueberry leaf. These components help relieve your skin and protect it from bacteria as well as other disease causing microorganisms.
One of the most effective eczema natural remedies is red clover. It has excellent antioxidant properties and can help get rid of toxins from the body. This can help relieve all types of skin conditions including eczema.
If there are any eczema natural treatments you have heard about; natural aloe-vera should be one among them. The final results are almost instant, and the calming properties can help alleviate most of the symptoms of eczema.
Licorice extract has strong anti inflammatory properties which make it an excellent natural cure for eczema; it can also help to ease pain. Reducing the inflammation, itchiness and pain is a big help in dealing with eczema.
Remember that you should only use lotions and creams that are totally free of dyes, oils, fragrances, or any other chemical elements which can aggravate the skin. Opt for natural aloe vera or zinc based cream.
Add tomato juice to your own diet plan. One sure way to eliminate your eczema is by consuming a good amount of tomato juice, at least 2 times per day and you will see your dry skin clearing up ever so fast.
Skin disorders tend to be strongly associated with mental stress; on the other hand, stress-relieving methods are amazingly effective in giving relief. Try hypnotherapy or visualization techniques to take advantage of the mind-body interconnection in allergic skin conditions.

Red Wine Trail – Wine tour
Red wine trail
Dreamily bends the river Ahr through a bizarre rocky landscape, the wine hills cuddle on the paltry rocks. It's hard to believe, but true: we almost have Mediterranean climate here, which provides best conditions for the grapes. During the day, the warm air lingers in the vineyards. Rocks, slate and stone walls take on heat and release it during the night – the grapes get spoiled with warmth day and night. The first settlers in the area, the Romans at Caesars time, already knew about this and started to grow wine on the steep hills – this is what the people in the valley do till today.
Wine tour Ahr valley
Another reason for the top quality of the ahr wine is the knowledge of the wine maker. They know about the special conditions in this valley, have to do almost everything manual – the vineyards are just too steep to use machines. They use techniques like restrictive cuts (quality instead of quantity) in the vineyard and small barrique barrels in the cellar to underline the asset of their grapes. The combination of a very unique climate and landscape, careful work in the vineyard and special knowledge in the cellar created the very own handwriting of the Ahr wine. The most famous grape in the valley is the pino noir, you can name him confidently the "king" of grapes, it's the most classy red wine in Germany, velvety-fervent in taste, with a powerful character. This grape needs time in the first place, the harvest starts late in the year and the wine maker always runs the risk of bad weather and loosing the harvest.
Hiking the red wine trail from Ahrweiler to Altenahr
Romantic valley Ahr
Think about a bending river in a narrow valley, steep river banks, covered with wine grapes, small truss villages every now and then. Lets say it´s a sunny day in October and the leaves are yellow and red, morning fog develops to a sunny day and you hike the trail which connects the vineyards. Wouldn´t it be great to have a break, get some wine and cheese like the workers and rest in one of the villages on the way for the night? Dinner takes place in historic german Restaurants and includes the different types of wine you passed during the day. The dishes match the wine, you might get Eifel lamb saddle, cooked in herb crust, paired with late burgundy or another special dish of the area, pea-soup with fried blood sausage paired with Dornfelder. It´s like being in a time machine, life slows down, you might think the last 100 years didn´t happen.
Foodie valley Ahr

The hotels are located in the middle of the valley, so you can hike, bike or drive in both directions. The close by town Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler with its historic center is nice for a stroll on your arrival day, for dinner you have several options.
Next morning you follow the signs direction Altenahr. The road follows the river and is seamed with steep vineyards, you pass the wine villages Dernau, Rech and Mayschoss before you get to Altenahr, the best spot to enter the Red Wine Trail. You can park your car at the train station and follow the signs with the red grape onhill to the ruins of the castle Are. From there the trail stays at the same level and offers great views over the valley while you walk through the vineyard. Walk as long as you wish, every village is connected to the trail and has a train station, the train runs every hour and will take you back to the car. Many places offer wine tastings and local food, here are my favourites:
Restaurant Ahr valley
Restaurant: Kloster Marienthal, Klosterstraße 3, 53507 Dernau, phone 02641 98060 www.weingut-kloster-marienthal.de

[…] make sure to not use the highway, take the provincial street to enjoy the landscape on this route. Altenahr marks the crossing of the Eifel to the Ahrvalley, here starts the red-wine trail and eventhough you are here to explore the Eifel, you could quickly climb the ruins of castle Are, from where you overlook the valley and get some red wine. http://culinarytourgermany.com/red-wine-trail/ […]

With Marc Savard and Vladimir Sobotka sidelined for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, the Bruins were like an empty jelly doughnut — they had holes at center that needed filling.
So what did they do? Why, call up journeyman Trent Whitfield from Providence. Again.
Meanwhile, Zach Hamill, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2007 draft, remained down on the farm. Again.
There are already whispers that Hamill isn't going anywhere when it comes to the NHL, that he's just another in a long line of high-end Boston busts that includes such immortal insignificants as Jonathan Aitken, Lars Jonsson and Shaone Morrisonn.
The Bruins adamantly say otherwise, countering that Hamill isn't going anywhere — yet.
"Again, you have to preach patience," Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli said. "But we're happy with his development."
Hamill, a British Columbia native, was considered the ninth-best North American skater by NHL Central Scouting prior to the '07 draft. He was 18 years old and had made a name for himself with his playmaking and stick-handling skills for the Everett Silvertips of the rugged Western Hockey League.
Looking for comparisons? Try Chicago's Patrick Kane, who went first overall that year, and Philadelphia's Daniel Briere. The Bruins dropped the names of Chris Drury and Joe Sakic when raving about Hamill's stick wizardry on draft day.
The knock on Hamill was he needed to get stronger, both physically and mentally. That meant putting on weight and learning how to stand up to the unending grind that is the pro game.
So far, so (sometimes) good.
"It's a process," Hamill admitted following Providence's 2-1 loss to the Worcester Sharks last Saturday at the DCU Center. "I've adapted to it and I know what I need to do to get to the next level. I think every day I'm working to do that and one day I'll play in the NHL."
The 5-foot-11 Hamill is listed at 190 pounds — 10 more than his junior days. So progress is being made there if you believe the numbers and not your eyes.
It was clearly evident watching Hamill skate against the Sharks that he possesses soft hands, keen eyes, and an uncanny knack for knowing what's going to happen before it happens.
There are six players to a side in hockey and at this level, they're all talented. However, very few possess that sixth sense.
"He sees those plays that probably other guys don't," Providence coach Rob Murray acknowledged. "That's where his vision comes in. It's just a matter of him playing at a fast enough pace for it to allow his vision to complement his playmaking."
While Hamill is opportunistic, according to Murray, he often lets chances to make plays slip away by being soft on the puck or making an extra, needless stick-handling move before delivering a pass.
And judging by his performance against the Sharks, no one is going to accuse Hamill of getting after it. He floated on that night, displaying no physical side or defensive game whatsoever.
It was apparently a rare off-night and, in fairness, the Baby B's were in the midst of a weekend run of three games in as many days.
"I got off to a little bit of a slow start, but as the year has gone on, it's definitely picked up," said Hamill, who came into the weekend with 13 goals, 30 assists and a plus-1 rating in 69 games.
Chiarelli seconded the motion.
"He's had a much better year this year than last year," the Boston GM said. "He had a good start this year in our training camp. The issue with him is strength — more strength on the puck. But he's playing a lot more assertively this year."
The Bruins are being patient. They've asked Hamill to do the same.
That doesn't mean he doesn't care about being called up to the varsity. Rather, he understands why he hasn't received any calls from Boston management.
"There's a lot of things that he needs to work on within his game yet and he knows that he has to improve," Murray said. "So I don't think he's sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring. He knows that it's a process and he's in the middle of that right now."
The end result remains to be seen, although Hamill is confident he'll land in Boston sooner rather than later. Toward that end, he has kept his goals simple while trying to ignore the high expectations that come with being a top pick.
"You just have to play the game and be yourself," said Hamill, still only 21. "Obviously, just get better every day, working out in the summer and working out during the year. It's a marathon for me, not a sprint, and as time goes on, I want to get better."
The Bruins finally plugged in their power play. They went 3 for 4, scoring on their first three opportunities with the man advantage in yesterday's 5-0 win over Calgary at the Garden.
"We just made better play selection and moved the puck a lot better," coach Claude Julien said. "When we had the opportunity to shoot, we shot the puck and we had net-front presence. So the kind of things that we'd been struggling at, we were better at today."
That ended a run of futility that would have been comical if the situation hadn't become so dire.
The Bruins hadn't scored on the power play in eight straight games, going 0 for 22 in that time. They came into the weekend ranked 21st in the league with a success rate of 16.9 percent. Washington was first at 25.5 percent.
So why the sudden turnaround?
"We just changed it up a little bit and the looks of the units of the power play and it worked," defenseman Zdeno Chara said. "Today was a great example that sometimes those little tweaks can make a big difference."
Julien opted to move Patrice Bergeron from the point to back down low, bring in some fresh faces and shifting a few of the holdovers around. Michael Ryder and Miroslav Satan were out, replaced by the unlikely duo of Milan Lucic and Johnny Boychuk.
Lucic (down low) and Boychuk (point) teamed with Blake Wheeler, David Krejci and Chara on one unit. Point men Dennis Wideman and Dennis Seidenberg joined Mark Recchi, Marco Sturm and Bergeron on the other group.
"We just made a couple of adjustments with the players and the positions a little bit," Julien said. "We worked on it for about 20 minutes (Friday) with both units. We cleared up some things on video and it worked. You got to hope that it keeps going like that."
While yesterday's windfall was nice, the bottom line is the Bruins need to figure a way to consistently capitalize with the man advantage because they don't have the offensive talent to generate even-strength goals regularly. And they're going to need those power-play goals if they plan on making the playoffs or sticking around for longer than four games.
"It was encouraging," Seidenberg said. "Hopefully, it's not just a one-game thing. Hopefully, we can keep it going and move the puck well, keep getting pucks to the net. I think that's the main thing."
Bruins fans had a blas� reaction to the acquisition of Seidenberg from Florida at the NHL trade deadline March 3. The same can't be said anymore.
Seidenberg has teamed with Chara to form a strong and sturdy No. 1 defensive pairing. He has been a great addition to one of the league's premier penalty-killing units and has done what he can for that lifeless power play.
In his first 12 games with the Black and Gold, Seidenberg had seven assists and a plus-8 rating while averaging 23:53 in ice time. He has blocked shots and taken them as well.
"Dennis has come in and he's played extremely well," Julien said. "His shots are getting through, he's a very gritty player, wins battles. And when he wins battles, he also skates the puck out fairly well.
"So he's been a real good asset to our team. And again, he doesn't think pass first, shot second. He thinks shot first and we like that from him."
The Bruins parted with Byron Bitz, Craig Weller and a second-round draft choice to obtain Seidenberg. Due to become an unrestricted free agent July 1, they're definitely going to have to pay up to keep him.
A hat trick of Bruins stats to interpret however you choose: 1. Boston is 30-7-9 when leading or tied after two periods, and is 3-21-3 when trailing after two; 2. The Bruins are 16-24 in one-goal games; 3. The Bruins are 16-19-7 when defenseman Johnny Boychuk is in the lineup. They're 16-8-5 when he sits.

No grades, no timetable: Berlin school turns teaching upside down Anton Oberländer is a persuasive speaker. Last year, when he and a group of friends were short of cash for a camping trip to Cornwall, he managed to talk Germany's national rail operator into handing them some free tickets. So impressed was the management with his chutzpah that they invited him back to give a motivational speech to 200 of their employees. Anton, it should be pointed out, is 14 years old. The Berlin teenager's self-confidence is largely the product of a unique educational institution that has turned the conventions of traditional teaching radically upside down. At Oberländer's school, there are no grades until students turn 15, no timetables and no lecture-style instructions.

A black man joining the Ku Klux Klan sounds like it could be the beginning to a terrible joke. It's not – it's the real life story of American police officer Ron Stallworth. And now, it's the plot of semi-historical biopic (if that term is used somewhat loosely) BlacKkKlansman, brought to life by Spike Lee and the team behind Jordan Peele's Get Out. That group alone – on top of a cast which includes John David Washington, Adam Driver and Laura Harrier at the helm – declares it a must-watch.
Spike Lee's finest work in a decade – and, I dare to say, possibly his all time best – BlacKkKlansman does a lot yet somehow manages to do it all well. It's a hard-boiled crime drama peppered with laugh-out-loud absurdist humour in only the right places, almost distracting you from the harrowing horror it'll eventually circle back to. Not the usual Blumhouse brand of horror; rather, the type of horror that should have been left behind in the 70s, only terrifying when Lee drops an insightful parallel to make you realize how relevant it still is today. The balance between comedy and drama is masterful, yet the film still manages to hit all the right points in its underlying anti-racist sentiment.
Our hero is Detective Ron Stallworth (Washington) himself, rendered an outsider in a police department where casual racism runs rampant. When he is reassigned to the intelligence division, he finds welcoming open arms waiting for him in the most unlikely place possible – the Ku Klux Klan. Posing as a wildly racist white man (with a hilariously spot-on accent), Stallworth calls the KKK and manages to spew enough slurs and hatred to land in their good graces. His raw radicalist desire to infiltrate the chapter even results in a slip-up where he tells them his real name before he even realizes it. Immediately, he's invited to meet with them to see if he's truly got what it takes. The investigation is going well so far, but there's one rather large obstacle: Ron Stallworth is black.
Stallworth teams up with Jewish coworker, Flip Zimmerman (Driver), to get the infiltration under way by enlisting Flip to pose as him at KKK gatherings once he is recruited into the group with ease. Carrying the same convictions as Ron, playing nice with the KKK is certainly of no interest to Flip, but he falls into place with little to no difficulty, spouting off racist drivel with the rest of them. While this serves as a testament to Driver's acting ability, it's also done with the intent of showcasing a harsh reality: society may root racism in us deeper than we think.
Stylistically, BlacKkKlansman pays homage to the blaxploitation films of the 70s right down to the recurring theme meant to define some of the film's key moments. It manages to hit all the right notes of the genre in subtle ways, save for a sequence in which Stallworth and his love interest run through the best of the best of blaxploitation films while their posters flash up on the screen – a scene that may sound out of place, but in context, offers a strong sense of pride.
This film has very little working against it – as usual, Spike Lee has managed to make a political piece with high rewatch value, and I now look forward to seeing if he manages to complete the seemingly impossible task of outdoing this one. It's a (literally) explosive spectacle you can't take your eyes off of, with satire that hits hard once the guaranteed initial laughter is out of the way.
The plot of BlacKkKlansman might sound like a joke, but the content of the film proves that even the most preposterous of ideas can come to fruition whether for better or for worse. Boasting bright critic reviews all around, BlacKkKlansman is a film you have to see for yourself, whether for the fascinating story, the artistic value or to have some light shed on an issue still plaguing our society to this day.
You can catch the BUFS screening of BlacKkKlansman at The Film House on January 17, with extra showings on Jan. 15 and Jan. 18.

English Language (by distance) MA - 2020 Entry
Entry Year
Part time 36 Month(s)
Course Overview
Our Department is well-known for its research in English Language. Staff members have produced major descriptions of English grammar and phonetics, as well as studies in areas such as critical discourse analysis, sociolinguistics (including the study of accents and dialects), literary stylistics and English language teaching. Notable staff have included the late Geoffrey Leech, Norman Fairclough and Ruth Wodak (the latter two, though no longer teaching full-time, maintain a presence in the department). Current notables include Jonathan Culpeper, Paul Baker and Elena Semino. We have world-leading expertise and resources in corpus methods, phonetics and cognitive linguistics.
This English Language MA programme, founded over ten years ago, focuses on the description and explanation of the English language, including its structure, functions and social contexts of use. English language here refers to the study of English as an academic subject, not the practice of English.
We have a tried and tested formula, devised to accommodate busy people (most of our students have full-time jobs). The scheme is part-time, taking place over three years (modules in the first two years, dissertation in the third year). It is designed to appeal to a wide audience (including UK teachers of the English Language A level). Each of the six modules, spread over two years, begins with a compulsory Saturday face-to-face session at Lancaster University and is completed in distance mode. Assessment is via coursework. The final year involves a dissertation supported by an individual supervisor.
Note that each of the modules on this scheme can be taken individually, without registering for the programme as a whole. You will be awarded a certificate for the successful completion of the module you have chosen. In other words, if you specifically wish to lay down a foundation for English grammar or Phonetics, or tap into the latest developments in stylistics and discourse analysis, you can do so. If you enjoy a module, you can do further modules or enrol for the whole scheme (the modules you have taken will be credited to you).
Course Structure
You will study a range of modules as part of your course, some examples of which are listed below.
Information contained on the website with respect to modules is correct at the time of publication, but changes may be necessary, for example as a result of student feedback, Professional Statutory and Regulatory Bodies' (PSRB) requirements, staff changes, and new research.
|Year 1
|Year 2
|Year 3
The University will not increase the Tuition Fee you are charged during the course of an academic year.
If you are studying on a programme of more than one year's duration, the tuition fees for subsequent years of your programme are likely to increase each year. The way in which continuing students' fee rates are determined varies according to an individual's 'fee status' as set out on our fees webpages.
What are tuition fees for?
Studying at a UK University means that you need to pay an annual fee for your tuition, which covers the costs associated with teaching, examinations, assessment and graduation.
The fee that you will be charged depends on whether you are considered to be a UK, EU or overseas student. Visiting students will be charged a pro-rata fee for periods of study less than a year.
Our annual tuition fee is set for a 12 month session, which usually runs from October to September the following year.
How does Lancaster set overseas tuition fees?
Overseas fees, alongside all other sources of income, allow the University to maintain its abilities across the range of activities and services. Each year the University's Finance Committee consider recommendations for increases to fees proposed for all categories of student and this takes into account a range of factors including projected cost inflation for the University, comparisons against other high-quality institutions and external financial factors such as projected exchange rate movements.
What support is available towards tuition fees?
Lancaster University's priority is to support every student in making the most of their education. Many of our students each year will be entitled to bursaries or scholarships to help with the cost of fees and/or living expenses. You can find out more about financial support, studentships, and awards for postgraduate study on our website.

The process of creating a dashboard is good because it will boost the speed of your organization also, making the process of managing activities easier and passing communications efficient.

Before proceeding further, it is good that you understand what a dashboard is. A dashboard is made up of charts, graphs, tables, and data in numbers. The many different kinds of dashboards that are created include the financial dashboards, project dashboards and marketing ones.As with all other projects, before creating a dashboard you need to understand the reason why you're creating the dashboard, the features that the dashboard should have including what you need and don't need. Another very important question that you should ask yourself before creating the dashboard is where you find the data to feed in to the dashboard. Other points to consider also are they dashboard elements that you need to have, the background color that you're going to use in the dashboard and also how easy the user interface should be.
Importing the data into the excel sheets is the first step of creating a dashboard. The data can getting through importing of the data from the different sources that you have or having a live feed that can bring in the data as it comes in meaning the data is updated automatically on the excel sheet. After adding the data into the Excel worksheet, you will that be needed to create different pages or sheets for the raw data and the processed data in order to have some good organization on the worksheet.
