You can use "Search this tab with Google Lens" in the right-click menu on any webpage to identify a product or object.

There's a tab under the rearview mirror in a car that you can flip down to dim car headlights coming through your back window at night.

You can easily make coffee by simply pouring boiling water over grounds in a filter. And you don't have a machine cluttering up your counter!

Cream of tartar is a better gentle scrubbing powder than baking soda because it doesn't leave a slimy film like baking soda does. You can buy cream of tartar in bulk at Winco.

It is healthier for men to sit down to pee than standing up. And it keeps things cleaner.

Shaving your armpits is not more hygienic than not shaving. This is because razors create microscopic nicks that in dark, moist environments bacteria thrive in.

You develop "nose blindness" from using artificial fragrances. Essential oils evaporate quickly, whereas artificial fragrances in detergents and room fresheners are formulated to keep releasing scent virtually forever. This is why it is so difficult to get someone else's scent out of used clothing, and why others are probably suffering from your car freshener and laundry scent beads.

Leaving thrifted clothing on the laundry line for several nights will often greatly decrease the fragrance of previous owners. Soaking in a tub of fragrance-free Oxiclean can also help. Doing so will also remove mildew. Just be forewarned that Oxiclean leaves a film that can be difficult to remove and the item may need several washings.

Towels treated with fabric softener are less absorbent. Essentially, the softener coats the towel with plastic that just smears the water around on your skin.

Particle board cabinetry and furniture usually contain formaledhyde which can make you sick. Wondering why you have headaches all the time? That may be why.

Newer windows are coated in anti-UV film which means you're more likely to develop depression from lack of sunlight if you spend a lot of time indoors, even if you're sitting near a window. When replacing windows you can specify that they be made with non-anti-UV glass. If you replace a lot of windows all at once you may have to order from multiple sources because some states have laws about that a certain percentage of window area must be anti-UV and manufacturers will not fill non-anti-UV orders above that threshold.

Zinc oxide diaper-rash cream makes a great skin protectant. If you get raw itchy areas in skin folds, wash and dry well, then apply zinc oxide.

"Fragrance-free" and "unscented" are not the same thing! "Unscented" products may still contain fragrances or masking chemicals.

Fat is not inherently bad. People need fat to survive and for health. We can store quite a bit of fat without health consequences from the weight in itself. That is why our behavior is more important for health in most cases than our weight.

If you live in a northern climate you can support our bee and bird friends by planting winter honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima). It is one of the first things to bloom in late winter, providing one of the earliest sources of nectar. It has a pleasant light fragrance that carries on the air on a sunny day. In my hardiness zone of 8b it blooms in January!
