Sprinkling a little boric acid on bathroom tiles before washing could bring you sparkling results in no time.
Finger prints on telephone handsets, glass and other objects look ugly. Dampen a cotton ball with alcohol or diluted shampoo and wipe those marks clean. Don’t use cleaning liquid as excessive scrubbing can cause the material to erode.
While travelling, use your cushion covers as a saree bag or to carry smaller things like undergarments, napkins and blouses.
If you have an aquarium or a fish tank, save the water each time you clean or change the water and water your house plants with it. The results are great.
To clean mirrors without leaving any wipe lines or scratches, rub them first with a wet and then a dry newspaper. All you need to do is to crush the newspaper into a loose ball and vigorously rub the mirror with it.
To prevent artificial jewelry from turning black, apply one or two coats of transparent nail polish to it. It will also add shine to the jewelry.
Coriander and salad leaves can be stored fresh for a long time. Immerse the leaves in water after cutting off the roots. Wash the leaves properly to remove the dirt. Shake off the excess water and leave it to dry. Once the leaves are dried with no trace of water, chop it fine and store in an air tight container and keep in a fridge.
To remove the stains left by price tag stickers on glass, use a cotton ball dipped in nail polish remover and wipe it clean. Even stubborn leftover glue from pollution stickers on windshield of cars can be cleaned with the same.
Foodstuff in cans often settle to the bottom, so open the can from the bottom end. You won’t have to do much of scraping out that way.
Kid’s yoga classes begin from the age of 4 until 12. Classes are separated into age groups: 4–6, 7–9, 10–12. Young kids from 4–7 have less concentration and most of the class is spent trying to keep their little minds active and interested. A class for little kids aged 4–6 is up to 40 minutes long. During the class, there are theme based stories which are acted out through yoga postures, and mini sequences are taught to the children. Children learn basic breathing exercises along with relaxation, and mindfulness meditation
Do look for a class where the children are having fun and receive positive attention from the instructor.

1Start using a mild moisturizer or even children’s cream every day to maintain healthy skin. If women can get wrinkles, you too will not be spared from this aging process. There is no reason why you shouldn’t be taking care of aging skin.
11Most men have rough callused feet with cracked heels in spite of the fact that they wear socks and shoes throughout the day. Soft feet are not just essential for women, it is important for men too. Take care of them by soaking in warm water with few drops of olive oil for 5-10 minutes. Then use a pumice stone on the soaked skin to gently remove the scaly part and to reduce the roughness. Wipe it dry and apply a foot cream. Wear a pair of cotton socks over it to let the cream get absorbed into the skin.
