Make Your Home Healthy Again

 

Finally defeat those allergens. Here’s how to control the dust, mold, pollen and other contaminants and make you home healthy again.

1. Wearing Shoes Inside the House

Not only is wearing shoes indoors a health risk, but it can also increase allergens. Wet leaves bring in mildew, and pollutants from grass often get trapped on the bottom of shoes. Take your shoes off outside or put them in a washable tray as soon as you walk in the door.

2. Not Wiping Down Your Bags

Just think about all of the floors that your backpack, briefcase or purse touches in the span of a single day. Gross, right? Instead of bringing all that bacteria into your home, sanitize your bag with a disinfectant wipe and then hang it up in your entryway or closet.

3. Keeping the Temp Too High

Dust mites and mold love to live in warm climates. Keep your thermostat around 70 degrees to help keep them at bay.

4. Vacuuming Without a HEPA Filter

Use HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters to prevent tiny particles of dust from being blown back out into the air.

5. Forgetting to Change the Vacuum Filter

Changing the filter is an essential part of keeping dust out of the air and preserving the life of the machine. Change the filter once it’s showing wear and tear or every six months if you’re using a HEPA filter.

6. Forgetting to Change the AC Filters

Never run your heating or air conditioning system without filters, and be sure to change them at least every three months.

7. Not Keeping a Barrier Between You and Your Bedding

Use zippered dust-proof casings for pillows and mattresses. The pore space of such casings is so small that dust mites and their waste products can’t get through.

8. Letting Your Pet Sleep in Your Bed

Your favorite part of the day may be snuggling up to your fur baby, but pet dander traps allergens — which means you’re inviting those allergens to your bed. If you can’t resist the cuddles, then you should completely shave your dog. Just kidding — just be sure to bathe them once a week.

9. Too Many Textiles in the Bedroom

Carpeting, rugs, pillows, upholstered headboards and chairs are all dust catchers. Consider minimizing furnishings for an easier-to-dust environment.

10. Too Many Textiles in Your Living Area

The living room is the same as a bedroom. Keep upholstery to a minimum to reduce the amount of dust mites.

11. Burning the Wrong Candles

When was the last time you checked the label on your favorite scented candle? Though they smell divine, scented paraffin candles can release foul toxins like toluene and benzene, which have been linked to asthma and other lung conditions. Consider switching to candles containing beeswax or soy, which are safer and more natural.

12. Installing Wallpaper in the Bathroom

Patterned wallpaper is a beautiful addition to any room but installing it in wet rooms (bathrooms and kitchens) can increase the risk of mildew. Opt for tile or textured paint that’s mold-resistant.

13. Not Ventilating Your Bathroom

Running the exhaust fan (and making sure it’s vented to the outdoors) helps remove moisture from this naturally humid room.

14. Not Replacing Your Shower Curtain Liner

Mold and mildew love to grow on our shower curtain liners. When yours is starting to look like it’s in bad shape, toss it in the washer or replace it with a new one.

15. Overlooking Your Shower Head

While you’re deep cleaning the bathroom, don’t forget to disinfect your shower head; several studies have revealed that dirty shower heads can host Mycobacterium avium, a bacteria linked to pulmonary diseases. We suggest filling a plastic bag with white vinegar, wrapping your shower head in the bag and leaving it to soak for about an hour.

16. Ignoring Your Bathmat

Think about it. You step onto your bathmat completely wet on the daily. To keep it fresh (and to keep mildew away), hang it to dry after every use, and stick it in the washer once a week.

17. Not Washing Your Makeup Brushes

We know that cleaning your makeup brushes and face sponges feels like such a chore, but these tools can harbor bacteria and lead to breakouts or more serious skin conditions. Use dish soap or baby shampoo to wash them at least once a week.

18. Not Following Your Nose

If you detect a musty smell in your home, inspect closely until you find the source of the smell. The sooner you find the mold, the easier it will be to remove. Basements and garages tend to be hot spots for mold growth.

19. Not Using the Exhaust Fan When Cooking

If you love cooking, all that steam from the stovetop will produce excess moisture. Turn the exhaust fan on to reduce it, helping to decrease the chance of mold.

20. Using That Sponge Over and Over Again

Sponges are porous, perpetually damp and notoriously pick up bacteria like salmonella and listeria like nobody’s business. Replace yours about every two weeks or, better still, switch to a plastic or silicone brush.

21. Not Cleaning Out Your Coffee Maker

As much as we hate to admit it, we’re all guilty of not cleaning our coffee makers on a regular basis. To prevent mold and bacteria from building up inside, wash removable parts with dish soap and then run white vinegar through the water tank.

22. Not Organizing Your Home Office

Clutter can harbor a plethora of dust mites — this includes stacks of papers, old magazines and office equipment. File paper inside a cabinet to stay organized and keep dust away.

23. Letting the Trash Pile Up

You could attract some unwanted guests (like mice and roaches) inside your home if you let your trash pile up. Their droppings can worsen your allergies, so make sure you stick to a routine of taking out the trash.

24. Displaying Houseplants

You may enjoy your beloved fern, but houseplants encourage mold growth. Mold spores live in warm, wet dirt, so limit the amount and time you display them.

25. Not Attending to Your Gutters

Leaky gutters can cause excessive moisture to enter your basement or crawl space. If you don’t have covered gutters, frequent litter removal is a must year-round.

26. Avoiding Protective Wear While Gardening

Even if you aren’t highly allergic to pollen, it can still irritate your eyes, nose and throat. To prevent this, always wear a mask and gloves while working in the yard.

27. Inviting Allergens into Your Yard

Avoid plants that are wind-pollinated — grasses are among the worst pollen offenders.

28. Wearing Used Gym Clothes

Sure, you wanna rest around the house after a big workout but doing so could make you sick. You can’t trust that everyone wiped down their bench after using it (or the very sweaty treadmill you just used), so why bring those germs into your home? Kick the locker room nasties and gym germs by taking off those clothes and get into something more comfortable instead of passing them around the house.

29. Change Your Water Filter

While you rely on your water filter to clean your next cup, make sure you do the same. You don’t want build up to grow and make the water you drink unsafe. Keep close watch on the filter status and have spare filters ready to go when it’s time to change.

30. Clean Your Doorknobs

Don’t forget to clean one of the germiest spots in your house: the doorknobs. Every guest and member of the household grabs them. And while hopefully they’re washing their hands, these spots will still pick up germs.

WOW!  I had no idea. I hope you found this article helpful in keeping your home clean and allergy free.

Netflix and Hallmark Christmas Movies 2026

Netflix Christmas movies

As the Christmas season approaches, Netflix is once again stocking up on festive movies from outside its own studio.  Also, this year’s November haul is the biggest we’ve tracked. Netflix’s “New on Netflix” newsletter lists 26 licensed holiday titles, up from 23 last November and 16 the year before.

We should also note that Netflix Kids & Family is adding another limited time playlist on November 2nd called “Holiday Magic Playlist.” Basically, featuring the Christmas episodes of My Little Pony, Hilda, Johnny Test, The Smurfs and others.

Generally, many of these Christmas movies are recent romantic comedies from indie distributors.  Netflix always struggles to get the biggest Christmas movies around this time of year.

The headline-grabber is Hallmark, which hands over the first two seasons of Mistletoe Murders days before Season 3 premieres on Hallmark Channel, while Lionsgate’s theatrical hit The Best Christmas Pageant Ever rounds out the big names. Six of the 27 streamed on Netflix last Christmas and are returning; the rest are new to Netflix in the US.

Hallmark Channel-Not to be outdone

November 2026 will be Hallmark Channel’s busiest month of the year with 17 original movies set to premiere.  Hallmark calls it the Countdown to Christmas programming block.

Hallmark is airing new movies every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through Christmas to get audiences into the holiday spirit, with Thanksgiving Week set to be action-packed with seven movies airing across four days.

4 Major Reasons Republicans Faced a Stunning Midterm Defeat

Republicans lose it all

Four actions that Republicans could have taken to mitigate Republican losses.  Specifically, ending the Iran war, focusing on the cost of living and inflation, putting America first and changing the U.S. relationship with Israel. Trump failed in all four issues.

Consequently, Democrates were handed control of the House and the Senate on Tuesday, dramatically reshaping Congress for the country.

Democratic Senate gains across the country on Tuesday have pushed their seats from a minority of 47 to a majority of at least 54.  House gains are also substantial.  The size of a possible Democratic majority in the House is still unclear. However, signs of a significant Trump-centered backlash were popping up all over the country. Surprisingly, setting up Democrats to come away with a double-digit majority.

A rebuke of Trump

After more than a decade with Donald Trump at the epicenter of U.S. politics, most voters appear exhausted and exasperated by him.

The president’s failure to deliver on key promises, most prominently, his vows to tame inflation clearly weighed on his fellow Republicans.  House Republicans felt the wrath of an electorate’s anger in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Also cited, was the handling of the Ilihan Omar incident.  That did not sit well with her constituency. Nor with other anti-ice proponents.

House Democrat Ilhan Omar has pulled off her biggest electoral win since 2018 in Minnesota’s 5th congressional district. This less than a month after her D.C., home was raided by Homeland Security on October 12.

With 99 percent of the 344,118 votes cast counted Omar led Republican challenger John Nagel with 76.5 percent of the vote against his 16.2 percent on Wednesday morning.

The Senate and John Fetterman

Which leaves the fate of Senator John Fetterman in doubt.  The Senator has lost his unique leverage in Washington. His party has pulled off a blue wave in the midterm elections diluting his influence.

He had wielded the power of being the deciding vote in what was a narrowly divided Senate, as a Democrat willing to break with his party. But Democratic Senate gains across the country have pushed their seats from a minority of 47 to a majority of at least 54.

Fetterman has long faced criticism from wings of his party for obstructing the Democratic agenda by voting with Republicans.  Faced with now having less power, will he flip entirely to the Republican side. A possibility!

7 Warning Signs of a Stroke Hiding in Plain Sight

 

On Monday, March 5th, 2018, actor Luke Perry passed away, at the age of 52, after complications related to a stroke. His death was a shock to many—especially those who loved him on shows like Riverdale and Beverly Hills, 90120.  This jumpstarted a national conversation about stroke. Isn’t he too young for that? (No.) Wasn’t he in pretty good health? (Yes.) Can it happen to me? (Possibly.)

Stroke is a common disease—the third leading cause of death in the United States—but it’s also a commonly misunderstood one. For starters, it’s not always fatal. In addition to the 140,000 people that die of stroke each year, a further 655,000 survive, but live with its often-debilitating effects. When it comes to surviving, and preserving cognitive and bodily function, it’s essential to catch it as early as possible. And that means knowing the warning signs. Here they are.

       1. Facial drooping

Facial paralysis or drooping is one of the classic signs of a stroke. When a stroke occurs, it can cause damage to the nerves controlling the facial muscles. Basically, causing a pronounced sagging or lack of movement in the face. Evidently from either increased pressure in the brain due to bleeding or a lack of oxygen to the brain caused by a clot.

2. Numbness or weakness on one side of your body

If you’re experiencing numbness or weakness—specifically if it’s only on one side of your body—it’s essential that you get to a doctor as soon as possible as it could be a sign of a stroke. According to the American Stroke Association, single-sided numbness and weakness is a hallmark of a stroke and can tell you where it occurred: if your left side becomes weak, the stroke occurred in the right side of your brain, and vice versa.

Note: 

Quick action likely improved the medical outlook for U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, who suffered a stroke last weekend. After experiencing numbness in his arm, Murphy was taken immediately to a local hospital and was responding well to treatment as of Monday. 

Getting to a hospital within three hours of the start of symptoms is key for successful treatment of blockage-caused or ischemic strokes, which make up 87% of all strokes reported.

The sooner treatment is given, the less damage to surrounding brain tissue is caused by overflow from the blockage.  A quick response to even what seems like minor symptoms is crucial.

3. Confusion

While many people experience a loss of cognitive function as they age, if you experience sudden confusion, a stroke may be to blame. Known as vascular dementia, this type of loss of executive functioning typically occurs when the brain is deprived of blood flow, like in a stroke. This doesn’t always manifest as simple confusion, however. For some people, it can mean an inability to read, or even difficulty understanding what other people are saying.

4. Slurred speech

Slurred speech, or dysarthria, is among the most common and noticeable signs of a stroke. Typically caused by muscle weakness following a lack of blood flow to your brain during a stroke, your slurred speech may persist even after other symptoms associated with a stroke have gone away. However, dysarthria isn’t the only potential change in speech following a stroke—the most common speech issue following a stroke is aphasia, which can make it difficult for the stroke sufferer to speak in full sentences, retrieve words, or may completely inhibit their ability to communicate.

 

5. Sudden vision problems

If you experience a sudden loss of vision, it’s not time to see your eye doctor—it’s time to head to the ER. Approximately one-third of stroke survivors experience some form of vision loss, from partial loss of sight to unsteady movement of the eyes to complete blindness. Unfortunately, vision typically does not fully return to normal following a stroke, even with treatment.

 

6. Difficulty walking

A lack of coordination, including difficulty walking, is a common symptom following a stroke. The lack of blood flow to the brain caused by a stroke can cause muscle weakness, making it difficult to walk, or causing an unsteady gait.

 

7. A severe headache

While most headaches are not stroke-related, the condition can cause intense headache pain often mistaken for a migraine. If you have no history of migraines, the pain comes on suddenly, or you have severe visual changes or any of the aforementioned symptoms of a stroke along with your headache, it’s time to get to the hospital immediately. Even if your headache is simply significantly worse than usual, it’s always best to play it safe when a potential stroke is involved.

A Gratitude Writing Challenge for November

What would your life look like if you spent one month deliberately training your brain to notice the good and writing about it? The 30-Day Gratitude Challenge is a structured daily practice designed to shift your default mental patterns from what’s wrong to what’s right. Basically, not by ignoring difficulties, but by expanding your awareness to include the positive alongside the negative.

Tips for Success

  • Write by hand if possible. Research suggests handwriting engages the brain differently than typing, deepening the emotional processing of what you write.
  • Set a consistent time. Morning journaling sets a positive tone for the day. Evening journaling helps you end the day on a grateful note. Choose what works and stick with it.
  • Spend at least 5 minutes per entry. Depth matters more than speed. Really explore each prompt.
  • Don’t skip the hard prompts. Week 3 asks you to find gratitude in challenges. This is where the deepest transformation happens.
  • Share with someone. Having an accountability partner or sharing your entries with a friend or partner amplifies the experience.
  • Missed a day? Keep going. Don’t let a missed day derail the entire challenge. Pick up where you left off.

The Challenge: Daily Prompts

Week 1: Foundations — Noticing the Everyday

Day 1: Write about three things in your home that make your life easier or more comfortable. Why are you grateful for them?

Day 2: Describe a meal you enjoyed recently. What made it special? Consider the people involved in bringing that food to your table.

Day 3: What is one part of your body that works well and that you usually take for granted? Write about what it allows you to do.

Day 4: Describe a technology or modern convenience that your grandparents didn’t have. How does it make your life better?

Day 5: Write about a comfort you have access to — heat in winter, clean water, a soft bed. Imagine going without it.

Day 6: What is one routine part of your day that you actually enjoy? Your morning coffee? A quiet moment? Describe it with sensory detail.

Day 7: Write about where you live. What is one thing about your neighborhood, town, or home that you appreciate?

Week 2: People — Appreciating Relationships

Day 8: Write about someone who believed in you when you doubted yourself. What did they say or do?

Day 9: Describe a friend who makes you laugh. What do you love about them?

Day 10: Write about a family member who has influenced you positively. How did they shape who you are?

Day 11: Think of a teacher, coach, or mentor who made a difference. What did they teach you beyond their subject?

Day 12: Write a gratitude entry about a stranger who was kind to you — even briefly. How did it affect your day?

Day 13: Describe someone in your life right now who supports you. What specific things do they do?

Day 14: Write a gratitude letter to someone (you don’t have to send it, but consider it). Express specifically what they mean to you.

Week 3: Growth — Finding Gifts in Challenges

Day 15: Write about a difficult experience that taught you something valuable. What did you learn?

Day 16: Describe a mistake you made that led to unexpected growth or a new direction.

Day 17: Write about a skill or strength you’ve developed through effort. How has it served you?

Day 18: Think of a time when something didn’t go as planned but turned out okay — or even better. What happened?

Day 19: Write about a fear you’ve faced. What did confronting it teach you about yourself?

Day 20: Describe a loss or ending that eventually made space for something new and meaningful.

Day 21: Write about something you’re currently struggling with. Can you find any small gift, lesson, or silver lining within it?

Week 4: Self and Future — Appreciating Who You Are

Day 22: Write about three qualities in yourself that you’re genuinely proud of.

Day 23: Describe a decision you made that took courage. Why are you grateful you made it?

Day 24: Write about your health — whatever level of health you currently have. What does it allow you to do?

Day 25: Describe a hobby, interest, or passion that brings you joy. Why does it matter to you?

Day 26: Write about a moment of peace or happiness from the past week. Recreate it in detail.

Day 27: Describe something you’re looking forward to. Why does the anticipation feel good?

Day 28: Write about the freedom or opportunity you have that others don’t. How can you honor that?

Day 29: Reflect on how you’ve changed over the past month. What shifts have you noticed in your thinking?

Day 30: Write a letter of gratitude to yourself. Thank yourself for showing up for 30 days, for choosing to look for the good, for investing in your own well-being.
