Problem: Article: Annual wildflowers grow and bloom 2-3 months after their seeds are planted, but usually die after 1 season. These flowers bloom for about 2 months before dying with the first frost. Choose from popular options like: Zinnias, which have bright pink daisy-like blooms Orange cosmos, flowers with vibrant orange petals and yellow centers Prairie asters, small flowers with delicate purple petals Evening primroses, small, cup-shaped blooms that are usually yellow or pink African daisies, which may have orange, pink, purple, red, white, or yellow petals Perennial wildflowers will not bloom until a full season after they are planted, but they can last for decades. Perennials only bloom for about 2 weeks a year, but their roots are winter-hardy and produce growth annually. Plant interesting perennial wildflowers like: Blanket flowers, which are similar to sunflowers with red and yellow petals Blazing star flowers, which have unique, long purple blooms Forget-me-nots, small flowers with rounded blue petals Wild yarrow flowers, which have clusters of tiny white blooms Coneflowers, yellow or blue blooms also known as echinacea Biennial wildflowers bloom in their second season like perennials, but the flowers die with the first frost the way that annual wildflowers do. Biennial wildflowers seed heavily so there is a good chance of them developing into perennials. Plant beautiful biennial choices like: Foxgloves, flowers with tall stems and purple, bell-shaped blooms Chicory flowers, delicate blue flowers in the dandelion family Sweet William flowers, which have white blooms with fuschia-colored centers Hollyhocks, flowers that bloom on tall stems in a variety of colors
Summary: Plant annual wildflowers if you want fast-blooming plants. Grow perennial wildflowers for slow but long-lasting plants. Cultivate biennial wildflowers if you want plants with a 2 year life-cycle.

Problem: Article: As an adult in your household and primary protector of your children, you have an obligation to know what your children are up to. You never know whether you need to be protecting your child from someone else or from themselves. It may feel deeply wrong to snoop around your child's room. But, if you suspect they are hiding something and they are unlikely to fess up on their own taking a look around their bedroom might be the only way to shed light on the situation. If you decide to search, look in drawers beneath or between clothes, under the bed, in between notebooks, CD or DVD cases, in backpacks or duffel bags, in pockets of clothes hanging in the closet, inside books with pages cut out, inside the trash can, and under loose floorboards among other places. Your child's room is a sacred domain to them, and having privacy there helps them learn to set boundaries with others. That's why snooping around in your child's bedroom should be done as a last resort when signs have pointed to there being something amiss, or when you have clearly found evidence. As a part of your search, you might want to do a cursory glance at any electronic devices your child uses. Look through your child's tablet, laptop, and/or cell phone. Be on the lookout for any social media apps that you have not given your child permission to use in addition to messenger apps. Your child could be communicating with people who are posing as teenagers and are in fact child predators. Be very wary if your child has many password-protected apps. Furthermore, if your child is adamant about not handing over passwords, this might be an indication that they are hiding something in their phone or computer. You may have to install monitoring apps on these devices to keep a closer eye on your child's usage. Certain apps are now being designed to help conceal photos, videos, messages, and other apps that your child does not want you to see. These include Vaulty and Hide It Pro. Stay on top of new apps such as these and beware if you find them in your child's phone. Similar to their bedroom, technology is often a private thing for your child; limit these searches to when something seems wrong and your child won't open up.
Summary: Search their room. Check their computer and/or phone.

Problem: Article: You can apply lemon juice to help lighten dark areas of your ringworm scar. Vitamin C is an important nutrient for normal wound healing, so it might help to minimize the appearance of a scar when applied to the skin as well. To apply lemon juice, soak a cotton swab in lemon juice and apply the lemon juice directly to the ringworm scar. Let the lemon juice dry and then rinse it away with some warm water. You can apply lemon juice to a ringworm scar once per day. You can also massage aloe vera gel into a ringworm scar to help soften the tissue. Aloe vera works well on burn scars, so it might help to improve other types of scars as well. To use aloe vera gel, smooth a small amount over your ringworm scar and leave it on. Do this a few times per day. Applying a steeped green tea bag to a scar may also help to minimize scarring and discoloration due to ringworm. Green tea may help with scars due to its antioxidant properties. To use green tea as a treatment for a ringworm scar, steep a bag of green tea in hot water for about three minutes. Remove the teabag from the water and squeeze some of the excess water from the bag. Then, apply the tea bag to the ringworm scar and hold it there for about 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat this process three to four times per day. You can also mix St John's wort oil with castor oil and massage it into a ringworm scar. St John's wort oil has been shown to promote C-section wound healing, so it may help with other types of scars as well. To use St. John's wort oil, place two to three drops of the oil in two tablespoons of castor oil and stir the oils together until they are combined. Then, use your fingers to massage the oil into the ringworm scar. Repeat this process two to three times daily. Honey may also help to reduce the size of scars and discolored areas because honey acts as a natural moisturizer. Manuka honey and Tualang honey are good choices for medicinal use, but you may have to go to a health food store or check online to find these types of honey. To use honey on a ringworm scar, apply a thin layer of honey and then massage it into your skin for about five to 10 minutes. Leave the honey on the scar for about one hour. Rinse away the honey with warm water after time is up. If desired, you can cover the area in a thin gauze pad while you leave the honey on. Vitamin D oil has anti-inflammatory properties that seem to improve the appearance of surgical scars. Vitamin D has also been found effective for treating psoriasis, which indicates that it may benefit a more minor skin condition such as a ringworm scar. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist before using vitamin D to see if this treatment is a good option for getting rid of your ringworm scars. If you decide to use vitamin D as a treatment for your ringworm scars, then break open one 2000 IU vitamin D capsule and mix it with four to five drops of castor oil. Then apply the mixture to your ringworm scar and massage it into your skin. Vitamin E is a well-known, popular treatment for scar healing, but some studies have indicated that vitamin E may not be an effective treatment for scars. In some cases, vitamin E has even caused the scar to look worse or resulted in negative skin reactions. To be safe, check with your doctor or dermatologist before using vitamin E for your ringworm scars. If you decide to use vitamin E oil, try breaking open one 400 IU vitamin E capsule and mix it with four to five drops of castor oil. Then, apply the mixture directly to your scar and massage it into your skin.
Summary:
Apply lemon juice. Smooth on some aloe vera gel. Hold a green tea bag against the ringworm scar. Try St John's wort oil. Massage in some honey. Look into vitamin D oil. Consider applying vitamin E oil.
