Before you attempt to cut your thick toenails, you should soften them by soaking them in warm water for at least 10 minutes. When you're finished, dry your feet completely, including between your toes. Nail clippers are what we typically associate with trimming nails, but these are usually not strong enough to cut through thick toenails. Use nail nippers instead. Nail nippers have a handle that is longer and easier to grip than regular nail clippers, and they are designed to cut toenails straight across. Small cuts help avoid splintering, which can be a problem with thick nails. As you're trimming, cut straight across your nail. Don't round the corners, as this can increase your risk for ingrown toenails. Conditions like diabetes which cause thickened toenails may also cause you to have poor circulation. This can result in reduced sensation in your feet, meaning you might not notice right away if you cut yourself. Untreated cuts can lead to infections and serious health complications, so be sure to pay close attention while you're trimming your toenails. After you've trimmed your toenails, carefully use an emery board or nail file to smooth any sharp edges which might get caught on your socks.

Summary: Soak your feet for 10 minutes in warm water then dry thoroughly. Trim your toenails using nail nippers. Use small cuts and go straight across the nail. Take care not to cut yourself, especially if you have poor circulation. Gently file the edges of your toenails with an emery board or nail file.

The iconic 1967 Chevy Impala that the Winchester brothers cruise around in hunting monsters is Dean's baby, and an important part of his identity. Dean insists on taking the wheel at every opportunity, and while you should be responsible when driving, you too should have a close connection to a classic car if you want to be like Dean. Give your car a cool nickname. In honor of his love of classic rock and, in particular, the band Metallica, Dean christened his car "Metallicar." Similarly, you might use one of your favorite bands to name your classic car. Although Dean is almost always seen in his '67 Chevy Impala, he has on other occasions driven cars that might inspire your classic car selection. Two models worth mentioning are the 1976 Dodge Aspen and 1972 AMC Gremlin. When driving around, Dean is almost always enjoying some good old classic rock. Some artists he is fond of include Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Blue Oyster Cult and Metallica. Or you could train your musical sensibilities in that genre by tuning in to a your local classic rock radio station. Dean isn't just a fan of the classic rock sound; he knows his favorite bands in the way only a true fan can! Pay attention to the trivia you hear from classic rock DJs so no one will think you're a less dedicated fan than Dean. There are many different sub-genres in classic rock. You might benefit from a class on the history of music at your local community center, community college, or university. You could also devote some personal research into the different kinds of classic rock. Flannel is rugged, masculine, and is a regular part of Dean's wardrobe. Being more of a typical man's man, you won't see Dean wearing the nicer clothing his brother Sam does unless he has a good reason for it. Dean isn't afraid, however, to proudly wear items that have emotional significance to him, like the amulet/necklace he wears daily that he received from his brother. You might fashion an item a sibling or loved one gave you into a memento necklace. For example, you could weave a coin given to you by a favorite grandparent into a bracelet.

Summary: Have a cool classic car. Listen to classic rock. Wear flannel and accessorize nostalgically.

As difficult as it may be, leave your blisters alone and avoid scratching. They will crust over and then fall off on their own. If you scratch them, they will open up and become more susceptible to infection. You will also spread bacteria with your hands if you scratch at the blisters. If this does happen inadvertently, always wash your hands afterward to stay hygienic. Baking soda has a pH greater than 7 (making it alkaline), giving it the ability to neutralize the chemical that creates the itching sensation. The chemical creating the itching sensation is acidic with a pH that is less than 7. Apply a paste made of 3 teaspoons baking soda mixed with 1 teaspoon of water. This relieves itching and helps the blisters dry out quicker. You can apply this paste as often as needed to relieve the itching. Use a cool, moist compress to ease discomfort. You can apply this compress for up to 20 minutes at a time, several times a day. You can make a cold compress by wrapping an ice block in a clean towel and pressing it against your skin. Alternatively, you can use a bag of frozen vegetables. Just make sure not to put it directly on your skin and not to keep it on your skin for more than 20 minutes at a time as both of these conditions can lead to tissue damage. Apply a topical cream, such as nonprescription benzocaine cream, directly after your cool compress application. Benzocaine works as an anesthetic, numbing the nerve endings in the skin. As an alternative, talk to your doctor about prescription 5% Lidocaine patches. You can apply the patch to the area where you're experiencing the pain, as long as your skin is intact. You can apply as many as 3 patches at once. You can wear your patches for up to 12 hours in a 24 hour period.

Summary: Try to keep from scratching at your blisters. Use a baking soda paste to reduce irritation. Apply a cold compress to your blisters. Spread Benzocaine cream on your blisters after you remove the cold compress.

Use a cotton swab or cotton ball to clean the charging portswhere your AirPods sleep when they're not in your earsand other nooks and crannies. You want to remove as much dust and lint as possible from the contacts to ensure that the case continues to charge quickly and to prevent shorting out. Keeping these grooves clean will keep your case looking new. Dampen your swab with a little water or alcohol, as necessary. But don't use enough to soak the cotton, as you do not want drips falling into the electronics of the case. You can gently work wax and dust from these difficult areas with a swab that is only lightly dampened. This is where bacteria can really get a foothold. A plastic or wooden toothpick should really help you to clean out the cracks and fissures in the case, especially around the lid. Be gentle and methodical, though. Patiently work the waxy buildup free gradually without applying too much force. Here are a few other useful tools that will help you keep your AirPods case hygienic, and looking and charging like new: Tape or 'tack. Use either one to pull dirt, lint, and wax buildup free; if you're using tape, use a good-quality product that will not leave behind adhesive. Press the piece of tape or lump of tack firmly into grooves to pull wax and general buildup from the cracks on the lid and top of the case. A soft eraser. Use it to rub stubborn stains and dirt away. A soft toothbrush. Only use soft or extra-soft, and put it to work gently scrubbing dirt, dust, and lint from crevices and the Lightning connector.
Summary: Get inside the charging ports as well as you can. Get into the grooves on the top of the case. Use a toothpick to work on more stubborn grime.
