Weevils most often get into your house through contaminated food, but they can also make their way in through access points if they've already infested the area. Things to look for and fix include: Damaged weather stripping around doors and windows Missing areas of caulk around doors and windows Torn screens in doors, vents, and windows Cracks and openings in your pantry (which can be sealed with caulk) Even if you buy all your grains in bulk, it's still possible that contaminated food will end up in your home. Luckily, you can prevent an infestation by killing the weevils before the eggs hatch or the females lay eggs. There are two ways you can do this: Heating: This works best for whole grains (rice, for instance), but shouldn't be used for ground grains or powders. Heat your oven to 140 F (60 C). Lay your grains out on a baking sheet. Bake the grains in the oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool before storing. Freezing: This is suitable for powdered and ground grains, but also works for whole grains. Simply place the newly purchased bag or container of grains in the freezer and leave it undisturbed for three days. Allow to thaw before storing. Once you've killed any weevils that might have been hiding in your grains, transfer the grains to glass, metal, or thick plastic containers that have airtight lids. Weevils can eat through paper and thin plastic. Along with storing all cereals, grains, and flours in weevil-proof containers, you can also store sugar, coffee, and other dry goods in these containers if your house is prone to infestations. To ensure that weevils don't have time to invade your dry goods, buy your grains and flours in smaller quantities so you eat them quickly and don't leave them in the back of the pantry for months. This is another time when buying in bulk can be beneficial, because you can control the exact amount that you purchase. Weevils may be attracted to your home if there are bits of food lying around in your pantry, such as flour dust, spilled cereal, or fallen grains of rice. To ensure that there's nothing in your pantry that might attract them, keep your shelves clean and free of food. Once every month or two, remove all the food from the pantry or cupboards and vacuum the shelves. Clean underneath the stove and refrigerator as well. Clean up spills and messes as soon as they occur. You can also be proactive by making a habit of regularly looking through your storage bins, pantry, and containers to look for signs of infestation. There are many herbs that may act as weevil repellants. You can use these herbs in your pantry and in your grain containers to help keep weevils away. Herbs that may work as weevil deterrents include bay leaf, clove, rosemary, black pepper corns, and garlic cloves. A few bay leaves can be placed inside each grain, flour, and cereal container. Use the other herbs on the pantry shelves, otherwise they may flavor your grains.

Q: Couple's counseling can be incredibly helpful after a partner has been unfaithful. Find a counselor that specializes in helping couples cope with infidelity. You and your partner should meet with them regularly to work on healing your relationship and moving forward. Your partner should be involved in the decision to go to couple's counseling. Let them know that you would like to seek professional help mending your relationship, and make them an equal and active partner in deciding which counselor is right for you. Set up a therapy schedule that works for both of you. Since you are attending as a couple, you will need to find time once a week or once every other week where you can go in together. Be considerate of your partner's schedule when you make appointments. Let the counselor know directly that you are there to work past infidelity. Understand that recovery will take time, but let your therapist know you are looking for long-term solutions. Open and honest communication will be essential to helping rebuild trust between you and your partner. Stay in touch with your partner, and be honest about your feelings and your daily activities. If your partner lets you know that they want more communication about where you are and what you are doing, be understanding and work out a plan to check in with them. Communicate honestly with your partner about your everyday thoughts and feelings. Allow yourself to be emotional and express struggle or regret if that is what you are feeling. Equally as important, allow your partner the chance to communicate. Engage them in conversation, make an effort to not only listen but truly internalize and work to understand what they are saying. Actively listen by repeating back what you hear them say. You and your partner will likely fight as you try to move forward. It is important that you try to work past confrontation, though, rather than fighting to win. Try not to bring up old arguments or unrelated subjects, as this will likely only upset your partner further. Try to fight fair with your partner. Focus on the issue at hand and avoid bringing in other issues. Keep your calm, and discuss specific instances and your emotional responses, rather than making broad generalizations about your relationship. Come to a concrete resolution. Don't assume that a fight is resolved simply because you or your partner starts to run out of energy. Even if the two of you aren't on the same page, it is important to come to a real resolution that you both agree to so that you can move forward.
A: Start therapy. Open lines of communication. Work past confrontation.

Article: Do your research beforehand to make sure your chosen flowers are safe for soap making. A good rule of thumb is that if they're safe to eat, they're likely safe to put on your skin as well. Dried flower petals can look pretty in handmade soaps. Try hibiscus, rose, lavender, chamomile, goldenrod, and calendula. Try using dried plants such as eucalyptus leaves or dried citrus peels to add fragrance and color to your soap. Steer clear from non-edible and toxic flowers like dahlias, oleanders, foxgloves, or lily of the valley. If you're not sure about the safety of a particular plant, research it online or refer to a botanical safety guidebook. Fresh herbs, flowers, fruits, and leaves can lead to mold and bacteria. Avoid using fresh plants to keep your soap safe, sanitary, and long-lasting. The only plants you should try fresh are lavender, rosemary, and thyme. The leaves of these herbs are pretty dry to begin with, and they can look attractive when used whole at the top of the soap. Avoid mixing them into the liquid glycerin, though.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use only safe, edible flowers and plants in your soap. Refrain from adding fresh plant elements to your soap.
