Some sites only accept returns within a limited amount of time after the date of sale, so it’s important to find out how long you will have to return or exchange your purchase. Make sure the online jewelry store has customer service representatives available to answer questions or to help you with your order. Warranty options are a sign of a reputable jewelry vendor and will be beneficial if you ever need to repair or service an item. A jewelry site that has lots of positive customer feedback and return customers is likely to be a reliable source. Some jewelry sellers will offer discounts in addition to the discounted price for purchases that exceed a specific amount. These kinds of discounts can be great when purchasing gifts or complete sets. Some online sites will offer cleaning and maintenance on fine jewelry, including stone polishing, clasp tightening or ring cleaning, for no extra charge to customers.

Summary: Find out about the site's return and exchange policy. Look for customer service. Ask about warranties. Read customer reviews. Determine whether you can get extra discounts. Inquire about service options.


For a cleansing bath that can remove toxins from your body, soak in Epsom salts. Epsom salts contain magnesium and sulfate that remove heavy metals from the body and speed up the skin's recovery time. Dissolve 1 to 3 cups (240 to 720 g) of Epsom salts in a hot bath and soak in it for 10 to 40 minutes. Pour up to 2 cups of (480 g) of Epsom salts into a hot bath and swirl the water to dissolve the salt. Soak your sore muscles in the water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. The magnesium in the Epsom salts can relax your muscles. Consider adding up to 15 drops of essential oils known for soothing muscles. These include wintergreen, basil, bergamot, rosemary, lavender, peppermint, and Douglas fir. If you're dealing with skin issues like psoriasis, rashes, or eczema, soak in an Epsom salt bath. The magnesium in the salts can reduce inflammation and relieve itching. Run a full bath and dissolve 1 to 3 cups (240 to 720 g) of Epsom salts in it. Soak the irritated skin for at least 20 minutes to get the full benefits. Always moisturize your skin after getting out of the bath to keep your skin hydrated. Measure 1 cup (240 g) of Dead Sea salt into a bowl and stir in 1/3 cup (80 ml) to 1/2 cup (160 ml) of your favorite oil (such as sweet almond, coconut, grapeseed, or olive). Add 12 drops of essential oils and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vitamin E oil. Stir the mixture into a thick paste that you can scrub over your skin when you shower. Just rinse off the mixture and enjoy softer skin. You can store the shower scrub in an airtight plastic container. Ensure that water doesn't get into the container when you're opening it in the shower or you may introduce bacteria into the scrub. If you don't have the time or space to run a full bath, fill a large basin three-quarters full of hot water. Stir in 1/2 cup (120 g) of Epsom salts until they're dissolved. Sit down and place your feet into the foot bath. Soak your feet for 10 minutes. Avoid soaking your feet in bath salts if you have diabetes. Soaking your feet can dry out your feet and cause cracking that may lead to infection.

Summary: Soak in a detoxifying bath. Dissolve Epsom salts to treat muscle aches. Reduce inflammation and irritation of the skin. Mix the salts into a shower scrub to exfoliate dead skin. Make a foot bath to soothe achy feet.


If you’re moving the shed across your yard, you can roll it on a “conveyor belt” of sturdy pipes.  Choose pipes that are longer than the shed and sturdy enough to hold its weight (but not too heavy for you and a friend to lift and move).  Thicker walled schedule 40 PVC pipe with a diameter of at least 4 inches (10.2 cm) will often work for smaller sheds, though you should ensure as best as you can that they will support the load.  Three pipes are often sufficient for smaller sheds.  Space out the pipes beneath the shed (to support its weight) and perpendicular to the direction you’ll be moving (so they can roll forward in that direction). Especially if you’re moving the shed over soft ground, use two pairs of long, wide boards as tracks over which to roll the pipes. 2" x 10" boards may be a good choice, and consider doubling them to create a 4" base to ensure the boards do not fail. Lay them out like railroad tracks pointing in the direction you’re heading; place one pair beneath the pipes and shed, and one pair in front of that. If your shed is still jacked up over the rolling pipes, carefully ease it down onto them.  Then, slowly push the shed in the direction you want to go. It is important to emphasize that carefully planning and controlling your movements is extremely important, nor should you underestimate the total weight of the structure. You’ll almost certainly need additional assistance, with the number of helpers depending on the size of the shed.  It’s better (and safer) to have too much help than too little.  As you push the shed forward, the pipe nearest to you will “pop out” from underneath the shed.  Carry it around to the front and roll the shed onto it.  You will repeat this process over and again until you reach your destination. If you are using wooden tracks underneath the pipes, reposition them as you go as well.  Think of it as laying a railroad track in front of a (slowly) moving train by ripping up and reusing the tracks now behind the train. Once you reach your destination, you may be able to simply push a smaller shed off of the pipes and into place.  Especially if the shed is larger or not overly sturdy, it is probably best to utilize your jacks and supports to ease it back down into place.  Make sure the destination is prepared and level. Make sure the shed is still level and square as you remove the braces and prepare it for use again.  Make repairs as needed.

Summary: Prepare pipes and tracks. Roll, reposition, and repeat. Reverse the lifting process.


This could harm her or dye her mouth. Watch her for signs of licking and distract her until the habit is formed. Her skin is just as sensitive as ours. Watch for biting, scratching, redness, or swelling.  If this occurs, take her to the vet immediately. Just like dyeing human hair, an animal’s dyed fur will fade over time. If you want her to keep her vibrant looks, apply the dye as needed. If she suddenly stops eating, become aggressive, bites or licks her fur, consider removing the dye or taking her to the vet.
Summary: Avoid letting your pet lick the dye. Watch for an allergic reaction. Acknowledge color fading. Observe behavioral changes in your pet.
