When I was younger, I used to have healthy looking body. That continued until I gave birth to my fourth child. It was the time I have gained so much weight. The last time I pay a visit to my siblings, they all have the same reaction and suggestion, “you have grown so big,” “you look like a cabinet,” “you should exercise,” “take weight loss products” and so much more. Now I am beginning to hate myself for being irresponsible. For eating like there is no more tomorrow. Well, like they say it’s never too late. I can still shed extra pounds by whatever means I could find. Let’s see if there will be an improvement.

• Instant Deodorizer Scoop kitty’s clumps out of the box, grab some baking soda, and shake it over the remaining litter. For Fido’s pad, cover thin layer of soda, let sit for five minutes, then attack with a handheld vacuum.
• Stop Stains Get rid of accidents on carpet and the smells that pets keep revisiting, with a stain and odor remover from the home or pet store.
• As Good As Store-Bought Paper towel plus rubbing alcohol equals an easy. Use it for nose prints on glass, or food-bowl spills on tiles. The alcohol dries in seconds, streak free.
• Kibbles Keeper If dry food in a paper bag keeps spilling repackage it in a jumbo plastic container with a lid.
• Unseat Smells Is your critter a couch potato? Lessen sofa odor by slipping dryer sheets into envelopes and tucking them under the cushions.
• Antifur Campaign Handy tool to get hair off upholstered furniture: rubber gloves. Put on a clean pair, dampen, and run your hands over cushions – for silk, use dry gloves.
• Take Paws Muddy prints on the rug? Relax and just let them dry – they’ll come off more easily if you vacuum later than if you scrub them now. Promise!
