Living on One Income

Below are easy-to-follow steps in cleaning your electric fans:

(1) Unplug the fan from the power socket.
(2) Remove the screws or brackets of the fan grill. Take off the grill and wash in warm, soapy water. Set aside to dry.
(3) Wash the cage and blades with warm water and a soft brush, if needed.
(4) Do not ever immerse the motor in water. Let the fan parts dry before
putting it back together.

If the grill/blade is made of stainless steel:

(1) Wipe with a dry cloth or clean with your hair dryer or vacuum cleaner.
(2) If using a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner, blow "backwards" (the opposite direction that the air normally blows) through the grill/blade and thoroughly remove the dust, lint, and debris that may have accumulated on it.
(3) Wipe it using a cloth with a drop of oil, to prevent from rusting

Got this from my usual EC rounds, and I'm joining in the fun!

How many times have you used insecticides to get rid of those irritating insects that have somehow found a way to your home?

And how many times have you been frustrated because they don't seem to be working and the insects look like they're just ignoring these harmful insecticides and repellents?

Below are some home remedies which you might find useful. These will really save you a lot of money and will surely make your home-free insecticide-free.

I got these tips from Prevention Magazine (Oct 2000 issue).

I've had this blog for a long time, but I wasn't really promoting it.

It was only last July when I really started to update it again when I noticed that it got a PR 2 from Google. I thought to myself, why not give it more attention by updating it more regularly. But still, since I was busy with my other blog, I really couldn't find the time to make appropriate posts here, until again, the last time when Google updated the page rankings, I saw that this blog was given a PR 3.

I was really surprised! I didn't know why, but probably because of the keywords that I used here? I really don't know because I'm not so familiar yet with SEO.

So, now, I think I really should get serious since although this blog has a PR 3, it actually doesn't have much traffic except the Entrecard users and those who searched Google using the keywords "living on one income" because this blog actually has the No. 1 spot in Google.

Now, what do I do? How can I increase my site traffic? I thought of having a blog giveaway, but how do I start one?

From the other blogs that I visited, I noticed that they are giving away Cash through Paypal plus EC credits. I think I will also start on that. And I don't want also to make it difficult for my visitors to join, it should be easy enough and wouldn't take too much of their time.

Well, I'll finalize the details and will post about it in a day or two, so watch out for it!

I read an article about the benefits of Baking Soda, and I was really amazed to find out about the 20 Things You Didn't Know About Baking Soda.

About two months ago, when I had coughs and colds, my supervisor in the office gave me a box of baking soda, and she asked me to pour one tablespoon in a glass of warm water and drink it straight. At first, I didn't want to try it, but she was insistent, and she assured me that I will feel better afterwards. And she was right! I really felt better. The taste wasn't that bad either, it was just as if I drank a glass of Hydrite -- the medicine for rehydration, it was salty but tolerable.

So, when I saw this article, I got really excited to try out the tips that was listed there, because again, these will help me in my quest for living frugally.
