How To Stop Your Eczema In Its Tracks

Eczema can affect people of every age, causing itchy patches of dry, cracking skin. Battling with eczema can often feel daunting, but it is possible to experience relief from this relatively common skin condition. While there are cases that may require prescription treatment, it is possible for most people to get it under control by making a few simple changes in their life. If you or your child suffers from eczema, here are three ways to help keep it at bay.

Change Your Skin Care Routine

People with eczema are incredibly sensitive to additives and fragrances, so it's best to switch to all hypoallergenic skin care products. Bathe regularly, but keep it quick and avoid hot showers and baths, as they can make the condition worse. Be sure to moisturize generously every day, especially immediately after a shower or bath.

Switch Laundry Detergents

One of the worst culprits in causing eczema flareups is laundry detergent. Switch to a brand that's completely free of fragrances and dyes and stop using fabric softener altogether. For help with stains, choose a product that's intended to be safe for sensitive skin, or create your own stain remover with baking soda, fragrance free dish soap and peroxide.

Treat Flareups Quickly and Thoroughly

When an eczema flareup occurs, the patches of dry skin can crack and bleed, causing extreme irritation and discomfort. Keep the skin clean and apply a hydrocortisone cream to the affected area frequently until it has completely healed. If it takes more than a week to heal with regular treatment and attention, a stronger prescription version may be needed. Take note of what was done or handled before a flareup to help avoid it again in the future.

While eczema is relatively common and usually completely harmless, it is still a good idea to see your doctor first to obtain a proper diagnosis. But by changing a few habits, you may find that this condition is very easy to live with.

A Dog's Journer Now On Digital, Coming To BluRay 8/20

Picking up where A Dog’s Purpose left off, A Dog’s Journey, now available on Digital, as well as on BluRay, DVD, and On Demand on August 20th, 2019, continues the tale of lovable farm dog Bailey, as he finds a new destiny and forms an unbreakable bond, and learns that some friendships transcend lifetimes. A hit with audiences, who rated it an “A” CinemaScore, the movie is “a must-see for any dog lover” (Chuck Yarborough, The Plain Dealer) and the perfect choice for family viewing, teaching universal lessons about the values of friendship and devotion. “Pawsitively” uplifting from start to finish, A Dog’s Journey features over 30 minutes of bonus content including deleted and extended scenes, a hilarious gag reel, and featurettes with the cast and a behind the scenes look at the memorable animal performances.

Bailey (voiced again by Josh Gad) is living the good life on the Michigan farm of his former “boy” now grown to manhood, Ethan (Dennis Quaid) and Ethan’s wife Hannah (Marg Helgenberger). He even has a new playmate: Ethan and Hannah’s baby granddaughter, CJ (Kathryn Prescott). Everything is great on the farm until CJ’s mom, Gloria (Betty Gilpin), decides to take CJ away and chase her own fulfillment in the big city. Ethan asks Bailey to watch over CJ wherever she goes and thus begins Bailey’s adventure through multiple lives filled with love, friendship, and devotion as he, CJ, and CJ’s best friend Trent (Henry Lau) experience joy and heartbreak, music and laughter, and few really good belly rubs. Directed by Emmy winner Gail Mancuso, A Dog’s Journey is produced by Gavin Polone, and written by W. Bruce Cameron & Cathryn Michon, and Maya Forbes & Wally Wolodarsky, based on the best-selling novel by Cameron.

How Home Warranties Can Save You Thousands of Dollars - And Different Options To Look At

People hear a lot over their lifetimes about how they can save money. Some of these tips work, while some can, in fact, leave you out of pocket, with homeowners spending on average nearly $5,000 in repairs in the last year. When it comes to your home, it’s best not to take any shortcuts. Instead, consider long-term investments like a home warranty. Not only can a great home warranty keep your home happy and stress-free, but it can save you thousands of dollars in the long run. To find out how you can do this, here’s exactly how a home warranty saves people money, as well as the different kinds of options to suit you.

How home warranties can save you money:

Work with a budget

When countless repairs and replacements in your home add up, it’s almost impossible to stick to a budget. This means costs can quickly spiral out of control, often leaving you with more to stress about. With home warranties, your costs are covered with a simple monthly or yearly set rate, making budgeting more than easy.

The best part is that home warranties can be personalized to suit the kind of cover you want. This means you can work with as large or as small a commitment as you need. Bear in mind that the cheaper your home warranty is, the less it is likely to cover. Though you might be wary of upfront costs, you’ll quickly see how your set rate can pay you back in just a few, simple call outs.

No more repair costs

Homes are often more stressful after a sale has gone through. For many families, even minor cosmetic damage or scrapes can cost a lot when there’s a lot of them. With home warranties, repair costs are automatically factored into your set rate.

Though the warranty won’t cover intentional damage to appliances or your home, average wear and tear or faulty items will be covered. It will also save you the hassle of having to fix some of the damage yourself, avoiding mistakes and devaluations to your home value.

Replacements might be covered

It’s true that not all home warranties cover replacements, but there is a huge spectrum of warranties that include full replacement costs within their rate. Before you jump into what seems like a good rate, make sure you read the small print to see whether that includes replacements.

If so, this is a sure-fire way of saving lots of money. For example, most home warranties cost between $300-600 a year, not including the service fee. With the cost of replacing a hot water heater being around $550, your warranty pays for itself within one instance.

Your options

There isn’t a one size fits all when it comes to home warranties. You can protect your home with a warranty and cut costs, but only if it’s the right kind. With various options out there, it’s best to get the lowdown on what they are:

Systems and Appliance home warranties

When people talk about home warranties, this is typically the type of home warranty they are referring to. As one of the most commonly purchased, it covers homeowners for repairs, breakdowns, or faults after the sale period of a home has ended. Typically, it is new homeowners that benefit from this warranty the most. It is also known as a Home Service Agreement.

There are some variations on it which cover current homeowners looking to save money. It is not to be confused with an Appliance Warranty, which covers an individual appliance for repairs or replacement upon purchase.

Homeowners Insurance

Homeowners often have a hard time defining between a home warranty and homeowner’s insurance. Though similar, they will cover you for different costs- even within the same incident.

One of the most commonly used examples is if your washing machine breaks down. Your home warranty will cover the repair or replacement of the machine, whereas homeowner’s insurance covers you for any water or electrical damage that occurs during the breakdown.

Remember that homeowner’s insurance regularly requires you to pay excess if the cost of repairing the damage exceeds that which the insurance covers you for.

Structural Home Warranty

A structural home warranty is always needed when someone is in the process of building their home. This may be obtained by the builder, or the homeowner. In any case, it covers a homeowner for any defects or damages from workmanship for the first few years after the building has been completed.

In the small chance your new home experiences major structural problems, many structural home warranties cover you for the first ten years after the build is completed.

Remodeler’s Home Warranty

If you’re considering remodeling your home, there’s a home warranty that also covers you here. Though similar to the Structural Home Warranty, it only covers the building of a new part of your existing home.

This cover is usually only for structural change, covering any damage that happens to the new part of your home, or damage that this new remodel does to your current structure. For any new appliances in this part of your home, homeowners are often recommended to update their Systems and Appliances home warranties.
