Hardwood floors add a beautiful touch to just about any room. To keep them in good shape, you should sweep daily in high-traffic areas, like the dining room and kitchen, if possible, and mop your hardwood floors once or twice a week. Remember: Water is wood's worst enemy (even on sealed floors!), so use a damp mop rather than a soaking wet one. If scratch or scuff marks are getting you down, a bit of baking soda on a damp sponge will erase any scratches or scuffs on your hardwood floors.

Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

Navigating a drug store's cold and flu medicine aisle can be dizzying, especially when a bug already has you feeling miserable. To clear things up, Consumer Reports has published a primer on over-the-counter labels. One main tip: Try to choose single-ingredient products because the more drugs are included in the medicine, the greater the risk of side effects. So watch out for "multi-symptom" and “severe” products, and consider home remedies.
