Antiperspirant reduces the sweating that creates friction, and friction leads to blisters. Wash and dry your feet every day for five to six days before a major walk, run or hike. Cover your entire foot, in between toes, tops of toes, backs of heels and bottoms of feet. Whether you use stick, spray or roll-on, just make sure you didn’t miss any spot. Just one missed spot could lead to sweating and blisters. By reducing sweating, antiperspirant also helps existing foot blisters to heal faster. CLICK HERE to find out more health tips.

Gardening Info
With some, the home vegetable garden is a great hobby; with others, especially in these days of low income and high prices, a great help. There are many in both groups whose experience in gardening has been restricted within very narrow bounds, and whose present spare time for gardening is limited. So, if you want to do practical, efficient healthy gardening, and do it with the least possible fuss and loss of time, than this is your “first aid” guide.

Travel Tips
If you are taking a cab from the airport in a non-English speaking country, make sure you have a piece of paper with your hotel’s name and directions written in that country’s language to hand to the driver. You’ll get to the right hotel much faster and without frustration.

Polish Name Day
In Poland, name days (imieniny) are widely celebrated, and more important than birthdays. Most Polish calendars contain the names celebrated each day. Name day celebrations in Poland traditionally involve a gathering of friends and family at the celebrant’s home at the dinner table, followed by drinking and socializing, similarly to birthday celebrations. It is traditional to call and wish the person “Wszystkiego Najlepszego.” The song “Sto lat” is sometimes sung. Children, and often adults too, receive presents, just like we do here on birthday. Name Days have been celebrated in Poland for centuries.
