I decided to do a 'tips' post once a week, and chose Thursday since it starts with a 'T' just as 'tips' does, and also because it's one of my favorite days of the week. Why? Dunno, it just sounded good. I'll be giving 'tips' on different things, such as: diet, exercise, hygiene, cooking, household cleaning products, etc. My first tip came to mind due to the recent flu scare; keeping germs to a minimum in the household is a must when dealing with viruses. Using paper towels after washing hands at home instead of hand towels is a good idea, in my opinion. It may not be economical, but may save you from having to make a doctor's visit due to dealing with a cold/flu that was passed person to person in the household. Hand towels collect bacteria due to staying damp over much use throughout the day.Another way to keep hands 99% germ free while out and about is to use antibacterial wipes called 'Wet Ones'. This tip came from Michael's dad. They're easy to carry in your purse, put in a pocket, or keep in the console/glove box in the car so they're readily accessible while you're away from home.
Here is my tips model, Tinkerbell, sitting on a box of paper towels, Marathon C-Fold Towels, and holding them too; we get a couple of boxes from Costco, which usually lasts a few months. I put them near the sinks in the kitchen and bathrooms. I also use them to clean with. You know me, I love paper and plastic products; you use them then toss 'em... so easy. The antibacterial wipes box is also displayed in the pics so you'll know what to look for.
You must admit that Caitie being dressed as Tinkerbell, and the fact that she actually looks like her, gets your attention, right? That was the idea. She's helping 'spice' up this post a bit.
This pic just makes you want to run out and grab these two items, doesn't it? You'll be as happy as she is if you do; it's as simple as that.
Here is a close-up of what the little packets of antibacterial wipes, 'Wet Ones', look like. Small, yet packs a punch. There's a strong orange scent; it seems overpowering at first, but I've gotten used to it over time.
I'll probably re-post this in the fall when the cold/flu season strikes again.
Check back next Thursday for my next 'tip'...
