Hello there,

In today's issue:

CLEANING

Cloudy headlights cut nighttime visibility by up to 80%, turning every evening drive into a guessing game. These 10 homemade recipes restore clarity in minutes using pantry staples like baking soda and vinegar, saving hundreds on professional restoration.

CLEANING

We've all stood over the sink, wondering if that smell is coming from the disposal or something worse, only to discover it's a buildup of food particles clinging to the blades and walls. These nine hacks take less than five minutes each and use items already sitting in the pantry.

TIP OF THE DAY

Does reheating bring stale tortillas back to life?

Sprinkle a few drops of water on each tortilla, stack them, and wrap the pile in a clean kitchen towel. Microwave the bundle for 20 to 30 seconds, then let it rest for one minute before unwrapping.

The steam softens any dry spots and restores flexibility. This trick works because trapped moisture penetrates the starches, making them tender again.

BUG CONTROL

Mealybugs can multiply so fast that a single female produces up to 600 offspring in just weeks, turning one tiny pest into a full-blown infestation before anyone notices. We've rounded up seven proven methods that stop these cottony invaders in their tracks and protect every cherished houseplant.

FUN FACT

Casio Started as a Calculator Company

Casio began in 1946 as a tiny workshop making cigarette holders and finger rings. Founder Tadao Kashio and his brothers pivoted to calculators in 1957 after seeing a business expo, and their first model weighed 88 pounds and sat on a desk like a typewriter.

By 1967, Casio had shrunk the technology enough to launch portable models that fit in a briefcase, transforming how offices handled math.
