Do this as you approach your spot.   Ensure another car isn't riding on your tail. Signal towards the space as you approach, slow down, then stop. If another motorist pulls up behind you, maintain your position. Roll down your window and gesture for them to go around you, if possible. You will do this with the car in front of your space, maintaining at least a 2 foot distance between the side of your car and the one in front.   Don't get too close or too far away from the car. If you are too close you might scrape the other vehicle as you are backing into your space. Try to be about 2 feet away from the other vehicle. Align your car's bumper with the other vehicles bumper or stay 2-3 feet behind it.

Summary: Check your mirrors. Line up your car.


It won't have the same softening and shine-adding properties, but it will help get rid of excess oil. Simply squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into 1 cup (240 mL) of warm water, then pour that over your head. Massage it into your scalp and rinse it out. You can also use lemon juice to lighten your hair naturally. Co-washing is just like washing with shampoo except that you use conditioner instead. While you'd normally focus conditioner on the ends of your hair, you actually do want to apply it to your scalp while co-washing and massage it in. Once you rinse your hair out, you don't need to use an additional conditioner.  Co-washing is not recommended for oily or greasy hair because it doesn't contain enough detergent to get the grease out. You may have to scrub your scalp more than you normally would in order to get it squeaky-clean.

Summary: Try diluted lemon juice as an alternative to apple cider vinegar. Consider co-washing if you have dry, curly, natural, or wavy hair.


Try to keep your head above the rest of your body at all times.  This may mean using additional pillows at night to prop up the top half of your body.  Keeping your head elevated will reduce swelling and pain in the area. Excessive shaking or movement will disturb the wound and can delay healing, which may increase scarring.  Try to maintain a neutral facial expression and avoid excessive motion. Keeping an ointment or petroleum jelly applied to the cut will aid in healing and will keep the cut from itching.  It is important to refrain from scratching an itchy cut because picking at scabbed areas will intensify scarring. If you are using bandages to cover the cut, be sure to replace them once every day, or whenever they get dirty or wet.  Be sure to use clean, sterile bandages. After the wound is no longer “open,” it is better to remove the bandage.  Exposure to air will aid in quicker healing. Staying internally hydrated with water will help your body function well and will help keep your wound moist and healing from the inside.  Avoid drinking alcohol, particularly when the wound first happens, as it causes expansion and can make bleeding and swelling worse. Certain foods are thought to help with the body’s healing.  Getting an adequate amount of healing foods, as well as avoiding foods that are high in sugar and unhealthy fats, can help your body heal more quickly.  Be sure to eat plenty of the following:  Protein (lean meats, dairy, eggs, yogurt) Healthy Fats (whole milk, yogurt, cheese, olive oil, coconut oil) Vitamin A (red fruit, eggs, dark green vegetables, fish) Healthy Carbohydrates (rice, whole-wheat pasta, whole-wheat bread) Vitamin C (leafy green vegetables, citrus fruit) Zinc (meat protein, fortified cereal)

Summary: Elevate your head. Keep the wounded area still. Keep the cut moist. Change the dressings daily. Expose the wound to air. Drink a lot of water. Eat a healthy diet.


This may be blight, which is a disease that can cause your plant and the potatoes to rot. If left untreated, it will also spread to your other plants. Blight usually happens during the warm humid times of the summer.  Remove all diseased foliage. Treat the plant with a fungicide that is sprayed on the leaves. This is called potato scab and won't affect the taste of the potatoes. However, it will affect the storage potential of your potatoes, so you may not be able to store your crop for long. It is generally caused by poor soils and is best treated by amending the soil with organic matter and keeping potatoes regularly watered during the season. Slugs will eat the foliage and the tubers of the potato plant. You should be able to see the slugs on the plant, and their slime trails will be noticeable on the leaves. Bury a tuna can level with the soil and pour beer into the can, this will attract and drown the slugs. Slug pellets or Sluggo can also be used to kill slugs.
Summary: Look for dark blotches on leaves. Check for scabs that look like corky blemishes on the potato skins. Watch for slugs.
