Best blister remedy<\/strong>
\nThe second best thing to use for foot blisters is duct tape. It\u2019s way more sticky than a bandaid or moleskins or adheasive tape, and when I hike I always carry a tiny bit of duct tape rolled around a pencil in my bag anyway for all kinds of emergencies. But the very best thing for blisters is a bit of flexible kinesiology tape (which is not its intended use). This is even more sticky on skin, but with less residue than duct tape, and also conforms wonderfully to curves and shapes and toes and heels. There are tons of brands. My walking pal Craig Mod, who walks for weeks at a time and has tried every type of tape or pad made, recommended this variety:\u00a0Laneco Kinesiology Tape<\/a>, which is what I now use. One roll is a lifetime supply. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Different ways to tie a scarf<\/strong>
\nEvery Fall, I end up googling all the different ways I can tie a scarf. I finally found a\u00a0Youtube video<\/a>\u00a0I can save and go back to when needed. Warning: it\u2019s kind of hypnotic. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Free Kindle books for Prime subscribers<\/strong>
\nI only recently learned that Amazon Prime subscribers (here\u2019s a link for a\u00a0free 30-day trial<\/a>) are entitled to one free Kindle book a month. The program is called Amazon First Reads, and you can see the\u00a0current selections here<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

French elastic pen holder strap<\/strong>
\nWhen I visited Paris this year, I made a pit stop at the Papier Tigre store to stock up on cool stationary things and found this\u00a0pink elastic pen holder strap<\/a>\u00a0that I completely geeked out about. It holds two pens and can fit A4-A6 notebooks, and all the colors are great. I was kicking myself for not buying more of them, because the online shop doesn\u2019t ship to the US, and I couldn\u2019t find a cheaper alternative on Amazon. Luckily, I found\u00a0Papier Tigre on CWPencils.com.<\/a>\u00a0They don\u2019t have all the colors, but if you want one, get it while you can because last week they were out of stock.\u00a0\u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Plastic restoring gel<\/strong>
\nOld yellowed plastic looks unrecoverable but it can be magically brought back to its original whiteness or bright color using hydrogen peroxide gel from a hair salon. The gel prevents the concentrated hydrogen peroxide from slipping off; you also wrap it in cling plastic to keep it moist. Plenty of YouTubers demonstrate how they restore old computers, old toys, old appliances with this stuff. I used\u00a0Super Star Cream Peroxide<\/a>\u00a0to bring back white plastic parts in our bathroom. (Also good for whitening old bones.) \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Print from your iPhone or iPad<\/strong>
\nModern printers are made to allow you to print from your iOS device. But we have an old wireless laser printer and I couldn\u2019t get it to play nice with my iPhone. Then I found a $20 Mac app called\u00a0Printopia<\/a>. It was surprisingly easy to set up. Now everyone in my family can print from their mobile devices. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
