article: When filling a glasses prescription, ask your doctor about scratch-resistant coating. While this won't protect against all possible damages, it will make scratches less likely to occur during day-to-day wear. Glass has gone somewhat out of fashion in recent years; however, glass lenses are less likely to accrue scratches than plastic.  Glass is a harder than plastic as a surface. Plastic lenses are softer and more likely to scratch in response to day-to-day wear and tear.  When purchasing your next pair of glasses, ask for a glass lens over a plastic one.  The disadvantages of glass lenses are that they are heavier than plastic lenses and the lens can shatter if hit with a projectile. If you're worried about scratching eyeglasses, consider switching to contact lenses. Contact lenses are easier and cheaper to replace in the event of damage. Ask your eye doctor about switching to contact lenses if you want to avoid scratches and other damages.  Contacts can provide greater peripheral vision and do not need to be removed as often during day-to-day activity. Contacts might not be a great option for you if you're forgetful. It can be harmful to leave contacts in overnight for too many nights on end. If you're squeamish about putting things in your eyes, contacts might be tricky. Many people switch back and forth between contacts and glasses depending on their comfort.

article: A single stake method works best with a bare root tree, or a tree that was dug out of the ground when leafless and that had all of its soil shaken from its roots. Select a bamboo or wooden stake for small and medium sized trees or if you’ve got a larger tree on your hands, use a metal stake.  Select an angled stake if you’re concerned about letting your tree have room to flex and build up its own strength. Select a tall, straight stake if your tree is top heavy. Dig a hole 6–8 inches (15.2–20.3 cm) deep about 2 inches (5.1 cm) from the base of the primary branch on the windward side of the tree, or the side with the prevailing wind. If planted on this side, your tree will pull away from the stake instead of rubbing against it. If you’re doing preventive staking, place your stake in the ground before you plant your tree.  This will prevent damage to the roots of your tree if you accidentally hammer your stake into them. Once your tree has been planted, look for the primary branch that supports the most growth. This is typically near the center, but if you have a tree that has split down the center, there may be 2 primary branches. Using a material with a flat, broad surface, such as elastic or a wire inside of a rubber hose, tie the branch to several locations on the stake for firm support. You should use a figure eight loop to tie the branch to the stake in order to prevent the stake rubbing up against the stem. Take care not to use a tie that is a bare cord or wire as these will cut into the tree and damage it. After one growing season your tree’s root system should’ve spread out enough to fully support the tree without additional help from stakes. Remove the stakes and save them to reuse on another tree or bush. You could always leave the stakes in place after removing the ties. Then you’ll have a barrier to protect the tree from lawn mowers.

Mix 5 oz (147.86 ml) of baby oil, 2 tsp (9.85 ml) of vanilla extract, and 5 tbsp (73.93 ml) of distilled water in a bowl. You can then transfer the oil to a spray bottle, or you can just rub the mixture into your skin. Remember to mix the solution together until the ingredients are well incorporated. Some people may have an adverse skin reaction to vanilla, so make sure to do a test on a small part of your arm before rubbing it into the rest of your skin. Mix 1/3 cup  (78.86 ml) of coconut oil with 15 drops of peppermint into a bowl. Continue to mix it together until it is well blended. If the oil gets too hot and liquefies, you can place the mixture into the refrigerator to harden it. Once it's ready, you can slather it over your skin to protect yourself from bites. Mince up two to three cloves of garlic and place it in a small bowl with two tablespoons (29.57 ml) of mineral oil. Allow the garlic to infuse with the oil for 24 hours before mixing it with two cups (480 ml) of water and one teaspoon of lemon juice. Strain the mixture through a colander and put it into a spray bottle. This repellent smells like garlic so avoid it if you don't like the odor. The oils found in lavender petals can keep bugs away. If you have a lavender plant, smash some of the lavender leaves and rub it onto your neck and behind your ears. You can also use purchase lavender essential oil online or at an outdoors store as an alternative. Massage the oil into your skin to ward off mosquitos.
