The most effective way to conceal the scent of alcohol is to eat equally stinky foods. Try eating foods with garlic and onion for breakfast. Some ideas include: Breakfast omelette Savory breakfast scones Savory crepes Another stinky consumable item that is effective at covering the smell of alcohol is coffee. Have a cup of coffee in the morning, and continue drinking coffee throughout the day. If you are sensitive to caffeine, switch to decaf. Be aware that coffee breath can be offensive too. Peanut butter is also effective at concealing alcohol breath. Consider packing a peanut buttery treat in your lunch for the day. Some ideas include: Ants on a log Peanut butter and jelly sandwich Noodles with peanut sauce Drinking plenty of water is the best way to flush out your system and eradicate (rather than just cover) the scent of alcohol. Aim to drink half of your body weight in ounces. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds (68kg), try to drink 75 fluid ounces (2.2l). Good news: water is also the best cure for a hangover. As your body metabolizes alcohol, the scent can reappear on your breath. Help to keep it at bay by regularly chewing gum or using breath mints throughout your day.

Summary: Eat foods with garlic and onion. Drink coffee. Have peanut butter for lunch. Stay hydrated. Chew gum throughout the day.

If you want your cookies to stay fresh in the mail, then you should avoid sending soft, buttery, or moist cookies, because their moisture will make them more likely to deteriorate. Instead, opt for cookies that are drier and more crisp, such as shortbreads, sugar cookies, biscotti, or crisp gingerbread cookies. Here are some other types of cookies that you can send: Cookies that have a slightly chewy texture, like chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodle, and white chocolate-cranberry cookies. Macaroons and Pignoli. Though these cookies are more chewy and moist, their textures actually improve after a few days. If you bake the cookies on a Saturday afternoon, then they won't ship until Monday, which means you've wasted almost two full days of cookie freshness. Try baking the cookies the morning of the day you're going to send them, or at least the night before. If you want to consider a faster shipping method, you can also choose to express-ship the cookies through UPS or FedEx, or to send them as Priority or Express mail through your local post office. If you're mailing them over the holidays, make sure you send them enough days in advance that they get to their recipient before the holiday and don't end up waiting in a warehouse because the mail will be closed for a day or two during the holiday season. Once you've baked your cookies, you should let them cool for a while to get rid of any additional heat or moisture and to let them harden a bit. If you package them immediately after you take them out of the oven, you'll be packing them in with the moisture and heat, which will make them spoil faster. But once they've cooled, you should package them as quickly as you can to maximize their freshness.

Summary: Choose the right cookies. Plan to mail the cookies as quickly as you can. Package the cookies shortly after you bake them.

You should see a doctor right away if your toe is numb for a prolonged period of time or tingles continuously. You should also see a doctor if the bone appears to be broken at an angle and there is an open wound on your toe or any bleeding. You should also seek medical care if your toe does not heal properly within one to two weeks and is still very swollen and painful. Your doctor will likely request an X-ray of your broken toe to confirm the break. She may then numb your toe with a local anaesthetic and realign the bone through the skin. If there is any blood trapped under the toenail of the broken toe, your doctor may drain the blood by making a small hole in your nail or by removing the nail. Depending on the severity of the break, you may require surgery on the toe. Special pins or screws will be inserted into the broken bone to keep it in place while it heals. You may also need to support the toe in a cast. You may be given crutches so you can walk without putting any weight on the toe and to allow it to heal properly. If bone has pierced through the skin (this is known as an open fracture), there is a serious risk of infection. You will need to clean the wound regularly and you may be prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection. If your vaccinations are not up to date, your doctor may give you a tetanus shot to further prevent infection.

Summary: See your doctor if the break appears severe and is very painful. Let your doctor exam in your toe. Discuss surgery on the toe if the break is severe. Get antibiotics, if necessary.

It is important to clean up stains as soon as possible so they don't set in. Stubborn stains, such as paint, oil, tar, and marker, can be removed with an acetone-based nail polish remover. You can also use rubbing alcohol to remove these types of stains. Just pour a small amount of nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth and use it to scrub the stain. Repeat if necessary. You can harden substances such as wax or gum by applying ice to them. Then, use a credit card or plastic scraper to gently remove the substance. Avoid using a metal tool to scrape the floor, as it could scratch or damage it. Metal items can leave rust stains on your laminate floors. To remove them, sprinkle table salt (not coarse salt) over the area. Cut a lemon in half and rub 1 half over the salt. If the stain is especially stubborn, you can saturate the area in salt and lemon juice and let it sit overnight. Then, rub a new lemon half over the stain in the morning. Use a damp cloth or paper towel to pick up the salt and remove any remaining lemon juice. If there are scuff marks from shoes covering your laminate floor, don't fret! It's super easy to remove them. Just spray a small amount of WD-40 onto the scuff mark, then wipe it away with a cloth or paper towel. Clean the area with baby shampoo or a mixture of vinegar and water after removing the scuff mark so the spot isn't slippery from the WD-40.
Summary: Remove stubborn stains with nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. Use ice and a plastic scraper to remove substances stuck to the floor. Get rid of rust stains with lemon and salt. Remove scuff marks with WD-40.
