What to do when you get water in your ears

Chat Me More had a first hand  experience with this problem. It started after a swim and it lasted until the next morning. 

 Many remedies were tried, but the only one that really worked was heating up a wash cloth for a minute in the microwave and placing on the ear. This took several times for the water to unclog the ear.

What Three Tips New Parents Should Know

What of my viewers replied to the newly parents by saying:

A pregnant couple was asking what my three top tips for new parents. I told them 1) layer sheets and rectangular waterproof pads/mats(the fitted ones won't let you layer as much)on the baby's mattress. I usually used three layers (sheet and pad) minimum. Very helpful in the middle of the night when baby gets wet or spits up, etc. Just strip one layer off and the bed is already made! 2) Buy more bottles than you think you need. That way you aren't washing bottles/nipples constantly. 3)Keep an extra diaper bag in each car trunk. Extra basic clothes for the baby AND parents need to be in there! Because if baby gets messy often a parent is also a mess as a result. Don't forget to update for the seasons. (Baggies of Cheerios also a good idea later on.)

Chat Me More concluded with saying:

I agree extra clothes for baby and good idea for mother. If not breasting feeding always pack more bottles and diapers when out and about. Don't ever put stuff animals in crib and back when my children were infants they were placed on their tummies. I know there are different views these days. 
Have a play mobile hanging from the car seat with a mirror it keeps them occupied as you are driving.

How to make furniture look distressed

One of Chat Me More's viewers asked how to distress furniture.
I am happy to oblige. I have at numerous times refinished furniture.

First you want to remove the whatever coating is on the table with a chemical or sand paper
Next rough up the surface with any hard object hammer, scrapper, etc.
Add a crackle glaze
Then add a clear top coat of your choice they come in matt, glossy, etc.

When purchasing the products explain to the sales person what you are trying to achieve and they will lead you to the right products.

Salty Taste

About a month ago I was having a salty taste every time I licked my lips.
It totally freaked me out so I googled it and to my surprise a lot of people
shared in my concerns. Well it seems when I take allergy medicine and
 drink a lot of water it goes away. I also found the Aquaphor for the lips
also helps with not tasting that horrible salty taste.
