Soaking Feet in Epsom Salts
Nothing feels better than giving your feet a break after a long day and soaking your feet in Epsom salt has many health benefits. Epsom salt is made of magnesium sulfate. When absorbed through the skin, magnesium sulfate draws toxins out of the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling and relaxes muscles. In addition to soothing sore and achy feet, Epsom salt can reduce foot inflammation, remove foot odors and soften rough skin on your feet. In fact, if you are having trouble removing a splinter from your foot, an Epsom salt foot soak can be effective in drawing it out.

How to Clean a Kitchen Stove
The splatters of dinner left on the stove look unattractive and can harm the porcelain finish. Cleaning your stove regularly keeps it in tiptop shape and might even extend its life. Gas and electric stoves are slightly different on the top, but the cleaning process is similar for both. A daily general cleaning along with periodic deep cleaning keeps away ants and other pests. The cleaning also prevents food from turning to porcelain-damaging acid, according to the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Extension.
Finger Foods for a Kid Party
Put down the fork and knife and make life easier by serving finger foods at your child’s next party. Swap out cake and ice cream for cupcakes and ice cream sandwiches. Replace large slices of pizza with bite-size pizza rolls. Look for foods that won’t make a mess or leave a trail of crumbs and skip foods that need a dip or condiments, unless you are looking forward to cleaning up trails of ketchup and splatters of ranch dip.
Teen Bedroom Colors
When decorating a teen bedroom, the color scheme sets the tone. A new neutral can serve as a mellow backdrop, while brilliant hues, patterns and contrasts bring the room to life. Teens often like trendy, bright or dramatic color combinations, so devote an accent wall or some key pieces in their favorite hues while keeping larger pieces neutral so that you do not need to repaint and purchase everything when your teenager’s tastes shift. In general, consider paint colors and finishes for the walls first, and then complement or accent with bedding, window treatments, floor covering, artwork and furnishings. Keep in mind that colors can also highlight design assets and camouflage design problems. Use lighter, cooler hues to give a bedroom interior the illusion of more volume, and warmer, more intense hues to make the space feel more intimate.
