Such stains include coffee rings, dried on food and drink spills that are very sticky.  Allow it to sit for an hour or two so that it can work on the stubborn stain. Rinse the surface of the counter with a fresh cloth, as there will be a residue left after removing it. It is harmless but a little rough to touch if you do not wipe it off completely.

Summary: Make a paste from baking soda to eliminate stubborn stains. Combine three parts baking soda with one part water to make the paste. Apply the baking soda paste with a damp cloth, lightly dampened recycled paper towel or even with your fingers. Remove with a damp cloth.


These cases are similar to a jewelry box, but the compartments are designed to fit watches. They are often lined with felt or another plush fabric that will prevent your watches from getting scratched or dented. Watch boxes often have glass tops, allowing you to see your collection. This is a good option if you like to wear a different watch every day. You can purchase special trays which are made to fit inside of a dresser drawer. These usually have square compartments to hold watch boxes as well as long, narrow compartments so watch bands can lay flat.  If the trays you are using are not lined, you may want to add a non-slip drawer liner to the bottom of the tray so your watches don't shift around when you open the drawer. Just use scissors to cut pieces of the liner to fit the compartments. If you like, you can glue them in place. You can use pieces of foam pipe insulation to hold watches which don't have a box. The insulation is already round and is similar to the size of a person's wrist. Just cut the insulation to fit in the compartment, then slide the watch onto the foam. Humidors are designed to protect cigars from humidity and temperature, both of which can be damaging to your watch. Whether you need a quick storage option or you just like the look of a humidor, this is a popular option for keeping watches safe. A watch roll is made of a flexible material like leather or soft fabric. Place your watches in the pouch, then roll it up so they are cushioned by the fabric. Watch rolls are perfect for packing in a suitcase or overnight bag, but some of the pouches are so nice, you might want to leave your watches in them all the time! Automatic watches don't need to be wound manually, because they use the natural movement of your body to harness energy. A watch winder turns your watch for you, keeping it ticking even when you're not wearing it. Automatic watches perform best if they keep running, so a watch winder will help prolong the life of your timepiece. You can find safes in all shapes and sizes, so whether you have one special family heirloom or a wall full of timepieces, you can find a safe that will suit your watch collection. Some safes even come with special trays designed to hold jewelry.  If you just have 1 or 2 watches you want to protect, keep them in a small safe under your bed or in your closet. You can even get a safe designed as a book or other inconspicuous item so it won't draw attention. Watches are a common target for thieves because they are valuable and easy to carry.

Summary: Keep your watches in a storage case if you want to keep them in sight. Use an insert to keep your watches in a dresser drawer. Keep your watches in a cigar humidor to keep them dry. Use a watch roll if you need to travel with your watches. Keep automatic watches in a watch winder. Place valuable watches in a safe.

The fastest and most effective way to fight cystic acne is through medical treatment from a dermatologist. Your dermatologist can prescribe the medications or perform non-invasive procedures.  If you don't have a dermatologist, ask your primary care physician for a referral. You can also look up a dermatologist online. Tell your dermatologist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. In this procedure, your dermatologist will drain the cyst with a sharp needle. This is the fastest way to remove a cyst. When done properly, it can reduce pain, swelling, and scarring as well.  Never try this at home or without the supervision of a licensed professional. Improper lancing may result in scarring or infection. In some cases, your dermatologist may also inject the cyst with medication. Antibiotics work by killing the bacteria that causes acne. Your dermatologist may prescribe you a pill to swallow daily or a cream to apply directly to the acne itself. These require a prescription.  Side-effects of antibiotics include increased sensitivity to the sun, liver damage, and complications with pregnancy. Follow your dermatologist's instructions regarding the use and dosage of antibiotics. Topical retinoids unplug clogged pores, allowing other medications to come in and fight the acne-causing bacteria. Apply the retinoid to your face once a day.  Most retinoids require a prescription. Weak doses are available over the counter, but these may not have as dramatic an effect. Retinoids are usually reserved for moderate to severe acne, when other methods of treatment have not worked. Types if topical retinoids include Adapalene, Tazarotene, and Tretinoin. Topical retinoids may initially make your acne worse before it gets better. It can take a few weeks to see results. Talk to your doctor about possible side-effects. Side effects include increased sensitivity to the sun, dryness, redness, and peeling of skin. If other treatments haven't worked, a retinoid pill, such as isotretinoin (also called Accutane), may be your best option. Take the retinoid by mouth according to your dermatologist's instructions.  Isotretinoin may cause some very serious side effects. These include depression, birth defects, miscarriage, deafness, and bowel disease, among others. Only the worst cases of cystic acne may warrant prescription of this very strong drug. Acne is affected by our body's hormones. A birth control pill or anti-androgen medications may help stem outbreaks. Talk to your doctor about medications that may limit the severity of your cystic acne.  Understand the possible side-effects. Side-effects include irregular menstrual cycle, fatigue, dizziness, and breast tenderness. Women with a high risk or previous history of high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, blood clots, or breast cancer should not go on hormonal medication. Traditionally used to remove scars, laser therapy may now be used to treat acne itself. Laser therapy burns away the follicle sac, by burning away the sebaceous gland (which produces oil), or by oxygenating the bacteria, and thereby killing them. Moderate to severe cases of cystic acne may require multiple sessions in a 4 week spa, but you may see results after the first treatment.
Summary: Make an appointment with your dermatologist. Ask the dermatologist to drain and extract the cyst. Get a prescription for an antibiotic. Get a topical retinoid to apply to your skin. Take a systemic (oral) retinoid for severe cystic acne. Undergo hormonal treatments for women. Zap off cysts with laser therapy.
