If you’re looking for an extremely simple, frugal, and quick “fix” for many common ailments like dry skin, headaches, chapped lips, low energy, restless legs, and poor sleep, my non-professional suggestion is to drink a lot more water each day! Yes, I know it sounds too easy… ...
Something to hold water –I used a 5-gallon water jug but you can use almost anything if it holds water and can be covered from the light. These are usually much cheaper to buy in person and are available to buy at stores like Walmart or Home Depot. You could also use a bucket or...
We had to replace our machine recently and this new kenmore one only fills with water with the lid shut. I tried putting it to fill and then pausing it but after a few minutes it auto-drains. I also tried using an empty 5-gallon jug to fill it with the lid open but before I ...
