Dry Eye Treatments You Can Do At Home!

Hi, I’m Dr. Michele Lee, a board-certified ophthalmologist, and in this video, we are going to talk about five dry eye treatments you can do at home and without a prescription – all natural, safe, and effective. Before I get started, please like and subscribe to my channel, where I post a new video every Saturday about eye health and disease. The first dry eye treatment that you can do at home is to apply a warm compress to your eyelids. There are certain conditions, like ocular rosacea, where you may want to use this treatment sparingly, but for most cases of dry eye this can be very helpful.

Warm compresses help with blocked meibomian, or oil, glands that we all have on our upper and lower eyelids. The lack of oil in our tear film causes quick evaporation of our tears that can lead to a type of dry eye where you make tears but not good quality tears that don’t really do a good job lubricating your eyes.

My first tip for this is to use warm, not hot, compresses. Check the temperature with the back of your wrist or elbow to make sure you don’t burn your eyelids. You want to make sure you have at least 5 minutes of heat to your eyelids per session, and I would recommend you do these one to two times a day for best results. There are a few ways you can make a warm compress. You can use a clean washcloth and run warm water from your sink, bath, or shower and apply the washcloth directly on your eyelids, rewetting with warm water when needed. A more elegant way to do a warm compress is to buy a special eye mask. I recommend the Dr. Bruder mask, and I’ve linked this down below.

A poor man’s version of this mask is to use a clean tube sock, fill it with rice, and tie the end with a string. You can microwave the mask or sock contraption for 20-30 seconds and apply to your eyelids, with or without a thin towel in between the warm mask and your eyelids.

This contraption will retain heat longer than a wet washcloth.

The next dry eye treatment is to work on creating an environment that is helping, not hurting, your eyes. I live and practice in Arizona, which is one of the driest states in the United States, and almost every patient I see here has some degree of dry eye just from living in such a dry climate. I frequently recommend getting a humidifier at home or at work to moisten the environment and help decrease evaporation of tears from the eye. Another important tip is minimizing air conditioners, heaters, and fans blowing directly into the eyes since these will really dry out your tears and worsen your dry eye symptoms! You should also consider changing your diet to help with your dry eye symptoms.

The easiest thing you can do is to drink more water and stay hydrated. Also, while controversial at the moment, I don’t think it would hurt to eat foods with more omega-3 fatty acids and flaxseed oil, since there is some evidence that this change can make a difference for some cases of dry eye.

Another important treatment is giving your eyes a chance to rest. Not only should you be getting a good night’s sleep, when we are reading or on the computer or phone, we are staring a lot and our blink rate goes down. This can cause tears to evaporate from your eyes and can really dry out your eyes and blur your vision.

The easiest thing you can do is to close your eyes for a few seconds when your eyes start to feel tired or dry. This gives your tears a chance to lubricate your corneas, and your eyes get a chance to rest.

The most important dry eye treatment I have is to lubricate your eyes with over-the-counter preservative-free tears and ointments. This is going to be the first treatment your eye doctor will suggest for any dry eye symptom, and preservative-free artificial tears are extremely safe and effective for pretty much all types of dry eye. Also, if you wake up in the morning with eye pain or irritation, or sleep with your eyes partially open, you might be drying out your eyes at night. I would recommend an ointment or gel. You can put a small amount, about the size of a grain of uncooked rice, in this inner pocket between your eye and lower eyelid right before you go to sleep.

This will make your vision blurry and your eyes sticky when you blink, so this is best done right before you go to sleep or take a nap. If all of these at-home tips and tricks fail, it is time to see your eye care provider since we have a lot of great treatments available to help with your unique case of dry eye.

Do you have dry eye, and has there been a treatment or lifestyle change that has worked well for you? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for watching my video, remember to like and subscribe, and I’ll see you in my next video.
Bye!

How to Fall Asleep Faster: CBT-Insomnia Treatment

Hi, everyone. I’m Emma McAdam. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist, and I make mental-health education videos. If you were to ask someone, “What’s causing your insomnia?”  they might say something like, “Oh, my stress, my anxiety, my brain won’t shut off.” Maybe they think it’s their cat waking them up or they drank too much coffee or watched a scary movie before bed. And granted, all of these things can mess with your sleep for a night or two or more, but they aren’t the thing that causes chronic insomnia.

So, in most cases, chronic insomnia is caused by one bad habit where you accidentally trained your brain not to sleep.  The bad habit is staying in bed awake. This is the worst thing you can do for your insomnia, and its key to one of the most effective treatments for insomnia, CBTI, an evidence-based treatment for insomnia that has shown up to 80% effectiveness at relieving insomnia.

You see,  when you lie in bed awake – maybe you went to bed too early or you’re trying to force yourself to  sleep – and you’re worrying about all the things you know what you said that day and what’s going  to happen with your job and whether that one guy likes you or any of any number of other things,  you’re basically training your brain that the bed is the place for worrying and lying there awake.

 This is a paired association.

It’s like Pavlov’s dogs – they learned to salivate when the bell rang, even when there wasn’t any food around. When you lay in bed awake, your brain learns that the bed is the place for worrying, for thinking, for watching shows, for doing homework, whatever it is that you’re doing. You lay down in bed, and your brain thinks, “Oh, I know this place.

This is the thinking place.” So, without realizing it you trigger that worry reaction, and then it takes hours to fall asleep. So, one aspect of the most effective treatment for insomnia is if you can’t sleep, get out of bed. If you can’t sleep and it’s been more than 15 minutes, get out of bed.

Do something that’s not too stimulating, and then when you start to feel drowsy, go lay back down.

Now, I know this sounds miserable. You’re probably thinking, “Oh, I’m just going to be so tired, and this will just make it worse.” And yes, that’s true. You may be more tired in the short term. But within a week or so it’s most likely going to improve your sleep efficiency.
So that’s the percentage of time that you spend in bed actually sleeping. So just remember this, right? Get up, hang out, try again. Right? Get up, go sit quietly in another room, hang out, do nothing or, you know, read a soothing book.

If you lay there for more than 15 minutes, get back up, hang out, and then try again when you feel sleepy. Now, while this feels miserable, it works really well. You may feel sleep-deprived for a couple of days, but in the long run it’s very effective at treating insomnia. Getting out of bed does two things, right? It retrains your brain that the bed is for sleeping and no other stuff, and then it also builds up like this sleep pressure basically, that tired feeling, so that when you do lay down you’ve got more internal drive to sleep, and you fall asleep faster.

And again, that retrains your brain that the bed is for sleeping. So, as you retrain your brain, you’ll fall asleep faster, you’ll stay asleep longer, and you’ll spend less time lying awake getting angry that you’re not sleeping. And again, this is  a core principle of CBTI: it literally rewires the brain to sleep better. They have imaging studies showing that after CBTI, people have improved cognitive functioning, decreased stress, and improved memory. And most importantly, you sleep better. Okay. Thanks for watching and take care.

A Natural Way to Get Rid of Ants in Your House

If you have ants in your pants, that normally means you can’t sit still and have too much energy. Or it might mean you actually do have ants in your pants, and that’s highly creepy. Now, when ants start an invasion of your home and yard, you got to be prepared to fight them off. If you aren’t a huge fan of chemical pesticides (and I hope you aren’t, since they can be harmful for humans) – there are natural ways to get rid of those annoying insects and keep them out for good.

1. Citrus fruits You might love the smell of oranges, lemons, and grapefruit, but ants just can’t stand it! Use this knowledge to your advantage and leave some ground, dried citrus peels near entry points to the house, in flower beds, and in potted plants to scare away ants. Spraying openings, sinks, counters, and table tops with pure lemon juice or even lemon scented cleaner day by day should also bring visible results. Ants will lose their sense of tracking and won’t be able to detect the odors of food particles and residue they’re naturally attracted to.

2.Cucumber slices Similar to citrus fruits; cucumbers smell like trouble to ants. Apparently, there’s something in their chemical composition that eliminates the fungi that ants love a lot. So find the hot spots in your house where ants are most frequently visiting; normally around food and water, and also any gaps, crevices, and holes. Leave some cucumber peels or slices in these places. This is a quick and temporary solution for visible ants but make sure to remove the cucumbers after a few hours since you don’t want to attract cockroaches, which aren’t afraid of them!

3.Peppermint If you have ants in your kitchen and bathroom, you can repel them using peppermint essential oil. Sprinkle cotton balls with a few drops and leave them in areas where the ants hang out. You can also mix equal parts mint scented liquid soap and water in a spray bottle and then spray it directly onto a group of ants. Believe me, they won’t like it.

4. Cinnamon works as a double agent: it makes your house smell like a dream and helps you defer ants at the same time. Powder, oil, and sticks are all good for this purpose. You can just sprinkle your regular kitchen spice at entry sites to disrupt the ants’ route. You can draw a dry cinnamon barrier line, or a cinnamon oil line, with a cotton swab. If you mix cinnamon oil with water in a spray bottle and sprinkle it on ant trails, windows, doors and cracks, it’ll have an even stronger effect. Cinnamon sticks casually thrown around the hot spots will also do the trick.

5. Coffee grounds Before you throw away used coffee grounds after you enjoy a hot cup, remember they can, in fact, be of good use to you. Put them right in the cracks, sprinkle them around the flower bed, or even the entire base of your house (you’ll need a lot of coffee for that). Ground coffee will be even more effective if you mix it with a few drops of peppermint essential oil and spread it on counter tops, near the garbage can, and other places ants love to frequent.

6. Tansy flowers might look cute to you but not to the ants! Plant it near your front door, under full or indirect sun and in pretty dry soil, or among other plants you want to protect from ants. You can also keep dried tansy flowers by the windowsills to repel those nasty insects.

7. Diatomaceous earth Food grade diatomaceous earth is a fine silica powder of fossilized algae. It’s perfectly safe for humans, but dangerous for insects. Sprinkle an ant trail or the perimeters of your house with it for instant anti-ant results. Make sure you keep it dry or it won’t work. You might have to add more than one layer for the best outcome. If you decide to put it in a flower bed, watch out for petals – bees won’t be able to do their job if they encounter this substance.

8. Chalk No ant shall pass a border made of chalk, since they can’t walk across powdery materials. It also messes up their scenting abilities. So, draw a line around your front and back doors, and windowsills. You can ask your kids to do it to make it more fun.

9. Baking soda and powdered sugar Ants love sugar but can’t stand baking soda. The smell of sugar will attract them, and baking soda will say “hi” to their digestive system, and the results are pretty dramatic for them. Mix the ingredients in a 1 to 1 ratio, ¾ tablespoon of each should be enough for it to work. You can put the bait on a jar lid, or directly into areas that ants love. The insect won’t know the difference between the sugar and baking soda, and you already know what’s going to happen.

10. Cornmeal isn’t the quickest way to ruin an ant colony, but it’s completely harmless to humans and super cheap, so you might want to give it a go. Sprinkle it on ant trails and nests. The insects will see it as food and have a feast, but they won’t be able to digest the meal.

11. Vinegar Another affordable thing ants totally hate is vinegar.

Mix it in a 1 to 1 ratio with water in a spray bottle.

You can spray it onto the ants, around the windowsills, doorways and places that ants love.

You can even wash floors, windows, and countertops with this solution – this way you’ll get them both super clean and ant-free. And, there’ll be no scent left behind after it dries.

12. Borax, water and sugar Make a thin paste of powdered Borax laundry booster, sugar and water in equal parts.

Put a few tablespoons of it on a jar lid and set the bait. This solution attracts all possible kinds of ants with its sugary smell. They’ll want to eat it, so they’ll bring it back to the colony and ingest it there. You can experiment with the ingredients a bit and add a touch of peanut butter to make the mix even more attractive for the insects. (Who doesn’t like peanut butter?) The paste dries in a couple of days, so if it hasn’t worked by then, you’ll have to make some more of it. The mix is also effective against cockroaches. However, you should be careful with this solution if you have kids or pets in the house.

13. Boiling water and dish soap Another ant secret they don’t want you to know is that they just hate hot water. Yes, something as simple as that makes them tremble with fear. A spray bottle with water and liquid dish soap can help you get rid of visible ants. And even just pouring a kettle of boiling hot water directly onto their colony is more powerful than you can imagine. It will also kill the weeds if you have any in the sidewalk cracks.

One thing you have to remember, though, is that it can kill the good plants, so watch out for those as you’re pouring hot water onto your yard.

14. Mini moat Most ants just go for the food, but some love plants, both potted and planted ones. To prevent them from building a home in what’s adding aesthetics to your own home, try setting up a moat filled with water, much like people did in ancient times building fortresses. Put the container with plants on a tray filled with water. You can sprinkle cinnamon powder in it for an even stronger effect, or put a cinnamon stick directly into the soil.

The same moat trick will work with pet food bowls. Set the bowl in the center of a tray or lid that’s larger in size so that it’s surrounded by the water. Ants can’t swim, so they won’t be able to get inside the bowl. And of course, once you’ve succeeded, your can sing the Dead Ant song, which goes like this: Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant-Dead Ant-Dead Ant… Hey don’t make fun — that was a big hit in 3rd grade! So Have you tried any of these solutions, or maybe you know some others that work?

Let me know down in the comments! If you learned something new today, then give this video a like and share it with a friend.

Secret Shopper Mystery Shopper Side Hustle High End Stores

What if I told you could make up to $300 a day to report a bad experience that you have  at a restaurant or a retail shop yep I am talking about being a mystery shopper and  nope I’m not talking about going to places like Walmart to do that shopping I’m talking  about being a mystery shopping Shopper for places like Prada Gucci Sephora like all  of those really high-end stores where you expect customer service to be impeccable  but sometimes it isn’t let’s hop right in and talk about how to do it foreign It’s Me Jazzy Mac and you always know your girl has some type of side hustle some type of hack  to get you more money so that you can secure the bag now.

I am super excited to talk to you about  this particular side hustle hack being a mystery shopper because a lot of people confuse this with  being like some sort of loss prevention officer where you’re like secretly watching people to make  sure that they’re not stealing merchandise and this is just not what I’m talking about because  that would be boring this this is for those people that say Jazzy.

I just need a part-time  gig and something that I can actually do with my kids so when you do mystery shopping you could go  to like a high-end retail store like the Gucci store or you could do it in a restaurant they  even have mystery shopping opportunities at car washes like these opportunities are Limitless so  here’s what you need to know if you’re going to do mystery shopping first you’ll want to make  sure that you are using more than one shopping app now there are many different apps out  there and some of these apps are going to be gear mortgage more towards like restaurants when  it comes to like either fast food restaurants or drive-through restaurants.

They want to know like  how your experience was how quickly did you get your food was it food hot was it what you ordered  uh for some restaurants that might be like you know fancier restaurants they’re going to know  they’re going to want to know how long was your weight um did the maitre d seat you in a nice seat  were you greeted um for mystery shops at places like Gucci they’re going to want to know if a  store representative actually assisted you with the items that you were looking for did someone  you know greet you when you came into the store did they ask you that or one of the things that  they’ll ask is like did they offer to purchase the item offline for you if it wasn’t in the  store so there’s a lot of different apps out there but what you’ll.

Want to make sure of is when you  um are doing these opportunities you want to make sure that when you’re leaving reviews  because you do have to turn in like a written review you want to be very like you want to be  like specific in what your experience was like they don’t want you to go in and do these shops  and then you come out and you’re like oh it was cool because that doesn’t really tell them  like if their employees are living up to the company standards or if there is an issue with.

Um you know how people feel when they come into the store so they really want you to tell them  like this is one of those opportunities where you can get like pretty detailed and say I walk into  the store no one greeted me no one asked me if.

I needed help it took me 30 minutes to check out because the cashier didn’t know what she was doing or because she was on her phone texting the entire time like they want to know things like that, so this is where you get paid to talk about if you.

Had a bad experience now obviously if you had a great experience you can tell them that you  can tell them the things that stood out some of these um which are going to be down in this  the description box as well some of these will have like a 10 question survey some of them will  have it be more of like an open-ended sort of like where they say they can you just write a paragraph  about what you experience some of them will even have you record they might have you record the  type of food that you ordered and what it looked like when it came out they might have you record  what the parking lot looked like when it you know was it clean was it a clean parking lot was there.

Trash in the parking lot in front of the building like there could be you know really simple things  like that that they’re looking for so obviously you know if they ask the employees about this  type of stuff they may not get the entire truth so when you sign up for these apps again you want  to make sure that you are using more than one app just to make sure that you’re casting a wide net  um the other thing that you want to do is make sure that you have a complete profile meaning  um you know your name your picture you have all your information filled out if you have.

An incomplete profile then obviously some of these opportunities you will not.

Be eligible  for they might ask you things about um you know whether or not you are a certain age or if you  are a certain gender if you have kids some of those things are going to be uh prerequisites  because they might want to know what it’s like um if you go shopping in like a children’s store you  know and you took your kids or what was it like if you took your kids to Chuck E Cheese’s like  did they have a great time so they’re going to you know there’s going to be different types of  opportunities depending on your uh demographic and where you fall in it now um other things  that you can do is if you don’t want to go out and shop you can be a mystery shopper for places  like door dash where you order food on door dash you get it and you write a review on it and.

You don’t even have to leave your home in order to do that so there could be you know delivery  um shops that you would do and a shop is basically just where you’re writing the review so you could  it could be like your experience with the Amazon delivery you know was the package you know turned  upside down was it broken when you got it or was it in perfect condition you know so there are  just so many different types of opportunities that you have when you do these different apps  um but just you know just so you know some of these apps are field agent  um Eyes.

On Ice secret shop um secret shopper Presto Shopper there’s another app called a  closer look and again you can be on as many apps as you want it’s not like any type of limit but  um you just want to make sure that when you do these types of shops that you do them timely  so some of them will have it to where you have to complete the shop within the next  24 hours or where you have to do it within the next three uh within the next three days so don’t  try to like wait until the last minute because the opportunities can expire just like be just make  sure you’re being aware and conscious of how long you actually have to do the shop and you know what  the expiration of the opportunity is so again this is like some really cool passive side income like  um there’s.

A girl on Tick Tock that may like she showed where she was making 300 a day with  these shops now obviously she’s probably doing it a lot more often than some people  are but it just shows you that like these are like really good passive income  um opportunities like for those that don’t want to leave their house and they just want to order some  door dash and then write a review on it like you know that’s pretty easy that then you didn’t even  have to leave your house for that so let me know down in the comments if you’ve ever actually I’ve  been a mystery shopper what was your experience did you enjoy it did you not enjoy it like tell  me.

I want to know until then.

I will see you all in the next video because I’m starving your girl has to go and eat but I’m so happy to be back in front of you thank you all again for subscribing and liking it really does help my channel I appreciate all of you until the next time bye.
