Many cats love being in the sun, so pick an area that is sunny at least part of the day. Cats love catnip and cat mint, and you can distract them from your garden by planting it in another part of the yard. Cats will be drawn to that area rather than to your tomato plants. Be warned, though, that this method may draw more cats to your yard. In addition, till up an area near the catnip and spread sand on top. Cats will enjoy napping in the area, keeping them free of your garden. Cats may use this area as a litter box, so you will need to clean up the area regularly. However, it will likely keep them from going in other areas in your garden. While cats don't like heavy mulch, they do like digging in fine mulch, so it will attract them to the area. Cats also like wheat berries, flax, oat grass, barley grass, and lemongrass to name a few.

Summary: Choose a sunny spot. Plant catnip. Create a sand patch. Spread fine mulch around the area. Try other plants cats love.

ug infestations. Insects gravitate to bad odors and messy areas. Vacuum your home and take out the trash regularly. Pay special attention to foodget rid of crumbs, spills, or rotting food immediately. Wash your dishes and any food prep areas daily. Store your food in airtight containers made of plastic or glass. Inspect your home from the outside and make a note of any torn window screens, cracked pipes or vents, or broken weather-stripping. Fill any cracks you find and repair any broken fixtures to keep ants out. Fans help dissipate human scents or secretions so that bugs who are attracted to them (like mosquito or bed bugs) will be less interested in your home. In addition, most bugs dislike heavy winds and will avoid areas with fans. Turn off your fans whenever you leave your house to keep the power bill low. Watch for areas in your home that you notice a lot of ants, cockroaches, or other wingless insects. Put up a few glue traps and check on them periodically throughout the week. Replace the glue traps whenever you notice them filling up. You can also set up hanging sticky traps to catch winged insects. If you have a persistent bug infestation, you may find chemical sprays more effective than preventative measures. Read your pesticide's instructions and safety warnings before you use it. Make sure the pesticide you choose is safe to use indoors, as some are outdoor-use only. Spray your pesticide in a well-ventilated area, with your windows down and doors open. If you do not want to spray pesticides by yourself, hire an insect exterminator.

Summary: regularly to prevent bug infestations. Seal or repair any outdoor opening that bugs might sneak through. Turn on several fans around your house to repel winged bugs. Set up sticky traps to catch bugs in problem areas. Use pesticides at your own risk.

Makeup can clog pores and make an oily nose more likely. If you frequently experience an oily nose, avoid using a heavy amount of makeup on or near your nose. Use only a light layer of foundation or concealer near your nose, if you use any at all. Overindulgence in alcohol may contribute to oily skin, so stick to only one or two drinks a night. Also, some people find spicy food makes skin oilier, so try to cut back on your consumption of that as well. If you use a face cream or moisturizer overnight, this can clog pores and make your nose oilier. Try switching to a lotion over cream. The light nature of a lotion may cause fewer problems related to oil.

Summary: Use less makeup. Adjust your diet. Avoid heavy face creams at night.

Olive and coconut oil are great natural moisturizers. They can also help to heal any cracks or cuts in your hands due to dryness. Apply a generous amount of olive or coconut oil to your hands. Then, rub in the oil well and let it dry. Re-apply the olive or coconut oil as necessary. If you want to lock the moisture of the oil into your skin, put small plastic bags over your hands once the oil has been applied. Clean wool socks or cloth gloves would also work well. Keep them on for 30 minutes or overnight. Doing this will lock the moisture of the oil into your hands as the oil dries. Shea butter is another good natural remedy for hands that are in desperate need of moisturizing. Apply the shea butter to your hands and let the butter seep into your skin. You can apply the shea butter to your hands as needed throughout the day. You can buy shea butter online or at your local health food store. The lactic acid in milk acts as a natural exfoliator. The amino acids and silica in oats are good for hydrating your skin. Combine one part milk with one part rolled oats in a bowl big enough to fit your hands. Then, place your hands in the milk and oats. Let your hands soak for 10-15 minutes. After 10-15 minutes, gently rinse your hands off in lukewarm water. Your hands should feel soft and less dry.
Summary: Apply olive or coconut oil to your hands. Use shea butter on your hands. Soak your hands in milk and oats.
