Pour a 2:1 mixture of water and rubbing alcohol into a Ziploc freezer bag until it is 3/4 full. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to customize the color of your homemade ice pack. Remove as much air as possible and seal the bag tightly; put it into a second Ziploc freezer bag to ensure that the liquid doesn’t leak out.  If you do not have rubbing alcohol on hand, consider alternative ingredients to make an ice pack, such as dish soap (on its own, no water necessary) or corn syrup. Be careful to keep your materials and ingredients away from infants and small children. Rubbing alcohol is dangerous if consumed in large enough quantities and it can also cause irritation to the eyes. Plastic bags also pose a suffocation risk to babies and small children. Place the liquid-filled Ziploc bags into the freezer. Leave for two to three hours to freeze. Given the different freezing points of water and alcohol, the solution will develop into a gel. Gel icepacks can mold to the contours of your body, which may provide better relief than a traditional ice pack. Before applying your homemade ice pack, you should cover it to avoid direct contact with your skin. Find some thick, comfortable material (e.g. from an old flannel shirt) and cut out a piece that is an inch (2.5 cm) wider than your ice pack, and twice the length of the ice pack, plus an inch. Fold the material by bringing the ends to meet (and overlap) in the middle. Sew together the top and bottom, lengthwise. Leave the middle part open to easily insert and remove the ice pack.

Q: Although some scientists have suggested a link between aluminum chloride deodorants and breast cancer, conclusive evidence of this link has yet to be found. If you are still concerned, you can purchase a deodorant without aluminum chloride. However, deodorants without aluminum chloride will not be as effective against sweating. The aluminum chloride in antiperspirant deodorants will reduce sweating and less sweat means less odor causing bacteria. If your body odor is especially strong, ask your doctor about a prescription strength deodorant. Make sure that the label reads “antiperspirant” on the deodorant. If the deodorant does not say “antiperspirant,” then it will just add fragrance without controlling the sweat. Make sure that your armpits are clean and dry. It is best to apply deodorant right after you have showered, but if it has been a few hours since your last shower, use a washcloth and soap to clean your armpits and remove any excess sweat. Then, dry your armpits thoroughly before you apply your deodorant. Apply your deodorant once in the morning and again in the afternoon or evening.  Deodorant wears off as you move and sweat throughout the day, so a second application may be necessary for keeping dry and maintaining a pleasant scent.
A: Buy a deodorant that contains aluminum chloride. Prepare your armpits before you apply deodorant. Apply deodorant to your underarms twice daily.

Article: Rolling your lawn compacts the soil and makes it more difficult for roots to grow if it’s overdone. Only roll your lawn once a year in the spring to prepare for the rest of the growing season. Garden rollers are large cylinders that you can pull across your lawn to flatten any spots that are too tall. Check your local gardening or landscaping stores to see what types of rollers that have. See if the store allows you to rent a roller for a day so you don’t have to buy it.  Steel garden rollers are heavier and will flatten your lawn better, but they’re harder to maneuver. Polyurethane rollers are lighter and easier to move around, but they are less durable and could get punctured. Use a sprinkler attachment on your garden hose to wet your grass. The water will help loosen up the soil to make it easier to roll and flatten. Run the sprinkler on your lawn for about 20-30 minutes so your lawn doesn’t get too wet. Don’t overwater your lawn since it could get muddy. Garden rollers are hollow so you can transport them easily, but they need to be filled so they can press down on your lawn. Turn the roller on its side so the fill hole points up, and use your hose to fill it with water. Once it’s half-full, you can stop so it’s easier to pull around your yard. Otherwise, you can fill it to the top to get the most weight.  You can also use sand inside the roller if you want. Refer to the instruction manual if you have trouble locating the fill hole on your roller. Start at the end of lawn furthest from your home. Slowly walk across the length of your lawn and pull the roller behind you to flatten the lawn. When you reach the other end of your lawn, turn the roller around and start a new strip that slightly overlaps the first one. Keep working across your lawn until you’ve rolled it completely.  If it’s easier, you can try pushing the roller in front of you. Take breaks frequently so you don’t get sore or worn out. Walk over your lawn after you’ve rolled it to see if there are still any mounds left. If there are, use a shovel to dig them out since they won’t flatten with a roller. Dig out enough of the mound until it’s level with the rest of your lawn and tamp it down with the back of your shovel.  Mounds that don’t flatten out with the roller are usually compacted and need to be removed by hand. You may need to reseed any mounds you removed. to let in air and water. Aerating your lawn helps water and air get into compacted soil so your plants can easily grow. Poke the end of a garden fork 4 inches (10 cm) into the ground and rock it slightly back and forth to loosen the soil. Work your way across your lawn until it’s completely aerated. You can also buy or rent a gas-powered aerator to make the job quicker.
