3 Surprising and Unexpected Reasons You Need To Stop Taking a Shower Every Day According To Doctors!

Showering or bathing every day is a cultural phenomenon, which as it turns out is not only unnecessary, but can actually be harmful to your health. Clearly, the industries that promote products used for bathing are invested in marketing, that makes you believe it is gross not to shower daily.
In truth, while a shower or bath has the appeal of being psychologically pleasing, making you feel more attractive to others and being relaxing, it actually puts you more at harm for drying out your skin and leaving you open to infections.
The VIDEO you are about to watch below from BuzzFeed, reports that studies have shown that one or two showers per week is enough with regular activity! Science as well as dermatologists warn that bathing more than that (unless you are filthy) can cause health problems.
1. Dr. Ranella Hirsch, a dermatologist who was quoted in an article in “Essence” that showering daily DRIES OUT YOUR SKIN, hair and nails, which strips the skin of healthy bacteria that in turn weakens your immune system.
2. Unless you work out breaking a huge sweat daily, or have a job that is extremely physically demanding causing you to sweat for many hours, you can get by with using a cleaning wipe or washcloth to clean the areas of your body listed in the VIDEO below that require daily maintenance. Daily use of soap, according to Dr. Casey Carlos in an article on “today.com”, strips the skin of valuable oils that will ultimately AGE YOUR SKIN PREMATURELY.
3. The BuzzFeed VIDEO you are about to watch, has interviewed two dermatologists, who explain that daily showering “Creates SMALL CRACKS IN THE SKIN” which WASH AWAY GOOD BACTERIA, leaving the body vulnerable to INFECTION.
The video goes on to discuss the UNNECESSARY WASTING OF WATER and AVOIDING VERY HOT WATER WHEN YOU DO SHOWER. It is further recommended by “WebMD” that when you do shower, a maximum of 10 MINUTES should be spent SHOWERING to avoid losing the valuable oils in your skin.

Elderly Granny Notices 4 Strange Boys On Her Property. When She Realizes What They’re Doing She’s STUNNED!
image via – youtube.com
Throughout America cities and communities have enacted rules and regulations regarding the upkeep of residential properties. If you’ve ever lived in a place with a HOA, homeowners association, then you probably now how strict and picky they can be. Many of the bylaws on the books encompass people’s lawns and what is or is not allowed can vary greatly depending on where you live. For the most part, any yard that is overgrown, dead, or looks neglected will generally fall afoul of the rules and that’s when local officials may take action against the property owner.
For the past fifty nine years 75 year old Gerry Suttle had lived in her home in the small town of Reisel, Texas. She had recently been issued a notice to appear in court before a judge because the grass on a lot she owns across the street was found to be in violation of the city code. Several weeks before the notice was sent officials had measured the grass on that property and it came in at 18 inches high, which was too long and broke the rules.
When Miss Suttle failed to appear in court a warrant was issued for her arrest which drew the attention of the local news. In an interview with the reporter she told them that she had never even received the notice in the first place and that’s why she missed the court date.
The next day Miss Suttle was inside her house when she looked up and saw four young boys outside carting lawn equipment in the hot Texas sun. They had seen her on the news the evening before and wanted to help. The boys, all brothers, couldn’t believe that a 75 year old woman was at risk of being arrested and jailed for something as petty as not mowing the grass on a property she owned. One of the boys, Blaine Reynolds, one of the bothers, insisted it was the very least they could do.
The brothers got right down to it and started to cut the grass. The lot was quite large, and they knew it would take a while because all they had were push mowers and the temperature was well over 90 degrees. Seeing what was happening, some neighbors nearby were inspired to act. Several came over with riding mowers and that turned out to be a major help. Two hours later the lawn had been fully mowed and the lot was now in compliance.
Watching on, Miss Suttle was blown away by the kindness of the boys. They were strangers who helped her out without expecting anything in return and the simple act of mowing the lawn restored her faith in young people.
The next day authorities informed her that if she just went to the courthouse and signed some papers indicating that she didn’t receive the original notice to appear, the warrant would be dropped. However, before she could even do that, she received yet another court summons the following day. Municipal officials had disallowed all the hard work the boys and her neighbors had done, but this time she decided to fight the alleged violation of city code.
Upon hearing that Miss Suttle would have to go to court, the boys said they’d be more than willing and happy to mow the lawn again in order to help her out. After all, she’s 75 years old and no one would want their mother or grandmother doing hard yard work in the extreme Texas heat. Perhaps the municipality can find a better way of working with her on the issue and back down from threatening to arrest her over the length of the grass!

Cow Cries Thinking She’s Going To Slaughterhouse But She’s Being Saved and Gets Freedom For The First Time
image via – facebook.com
Emma the dairy cow was acting nervous and rightly so. Earlier in the day she had been loaded onto a trailer and driven for miles to a destination that was wholly foreign to her, a place called the Kuhrettung Rhein-Berg Sanctuary in Germany. The dairy farm which she’d called home her whole life had recently closed down, and before rescuers stepped in, she’d originally been headed to the slaughterhouse. Although the dairy farm wasn’t a slaughterhouse the conditions were absolutely terrible and poor Emma the cow thought she was going from bad to worse..
When Emma first started her journey she was terrified as her life was suddenly turned completely upside down. At the start of the video, as she’s being placed in the strange trailer, she can be seen crying visible tears of sadness and fear. It’s heartbreaking to witness, but thankfully not for long. I honestly did not know that cows could actually cry. Seeing this beautiful creature in such a state of fear and sadness truly tore me up inside.
However, once she arrived at the animal sanctuary Emma was released into an open, spacious pasture filled with green grass, rolling hills, and lots of other cows. Watching her take these first steps of freedom and her new life is just such a joy to witness! She cautiously made her way into her new home and before long a few of the other cows came up to greet her.
They all took turns sniffing and checking each other out and soon had enthusiastically surrounded her. It’s amazing and as if they were all reassuring Emma that everything was going to be just fine. By the end of the video it looks like Emma has quickly been accepted into her new family and the group goes running off happily into the field. What started out as a terrifying ordeal ended in the best way possible.
Thanks to a group of dedicated people Emma was not slaughtered but instead was brought to the Kuhrettung Rhein-Berg Sanctuary in Germany to live. The group rescues dairy cows and retires them to a former farm where they can naturally live out the rest of their days. These people are truly human angels with hearts filled with infinite love and care.
Prior to her arrival at the sanctuary, Emma’s life was anything but natural. Cows are best known for producing milk and all of the associated dairy products. In order to make that milk a cow must become pregnant and give birth to a calf, whom it will nurse. However, in the dairy industry young calves are taken away from their mothers shortly after birth so that the milk can instead be collected for human consumption.
This separation of mother and child is done early on in an effort to cause minimal stress to both, but it’s also done repeatedly in order to keep cows producing milk. Cows like Emma who end up at the sanctuary are retired, in that they’re no longer impregnated and therefore don’t produce any more milk.
Fortunately for Emma and all of the other rescued dairy cows, they get to stay on the farm sanctuary. Her life has changed dramatically for the better and now she’s able to live alongside other happy cows and can do all the normal, natural things that cows love do. It’s a happy ending that she, and countless others like her, deserve.

This Guy Drills Over a Dozen Holes In a PVC Pipe. The Reason? I’ll Never Garden The Same Way Again
image via – youtube.com
Gardening is among the most relaxing and rewarding ways to get some fresh air and spend your time outside. Many people have found that it improves their lives in more than one way because gardening helps to clear the mind and makes you feel less stressed overall.
It also provides you with the freshest fruits and vegetables right in your own backyard, so you eat healthier and don’t have to worry about pesticides or a trip to the store. A garden can also save you money since foods that you grow often end up costing much less than the grocery store variety. Even if you don’t grow fruit or veggies, you can landscape and liven up your yard with flowers, shrubbery and plants.
The possibilities for gardens are endless and the latest design ideas involve vertical gardening and hydroponic systems. Vertical gardens not only look cool, they’re also a very effective way to make the most out of limited space. People have transformed apartment balconies and entire sides of their houses into beautiful, self-sufficient, living walls. Many vertical gardens integrate the use of hydroponics to grow plants because by eliminating soil it cuts down on the weight.
There are lots of commercially available vertical hydroponic garden systems being sold these days but the high cost makes them unaffordable for many people. If you would love to have your own but are not willing to pay the steep price, then the next best option is to make your own.
That may seem like a daunting task but with this video from Greenerways2012 it becomes a whole lot easier than you’d imagine. The A-frame setup shown is comprised of 12 tubes, each one can hold 14 plants for a total of 168, and in the video heads of basil can be seen growing. The footprint it takes up is 6 feet by 10 feet, which is about the size of a small garden plot.
No electricity is needed, instead the water delivery system relies on pressure and gravity to flow. While there is no materials list given for the entire set up, some of the things that you’ll need if you make this include wood for the frame, PVC pipes and caps, plastic tubing, filters, brackets, a float valve, and a few other items.
Check out the video for a complete explanation of the system and a better visual understanding of the set up. The man behind the camera gives an excellent and comprehensive look at all the parts and how they work together, he also goes over more details on the measurements, sizes, and specific materials that were used. For more ideas and information on this set up or vertical hydroponic gardening refer to his channel Greenerways2012 or the Greenerways Facebook community page. Enjoy the video and and happy gardening!!

An ‘Intruder’ Breaks Into This Tiny Kitten’s House. Now Watch Him Protect His Humans.
image via – shutterstock.com
Cats are truly one of the most interesting animals on planet earth. From the mighty king of the jungle the lion, to the tabby cat at your grandma’s house, these animals give off a majestic vibe that almost no other animal on planet earth can match. People who have never had a kitty as a pet tend to believe these creatures are cold, weird, sneaky, sometimes scary and have no personality. Usually these people only ever had dogs or aren’t into pets at all.
However, anyone who has had the pleasure of sharing a living space with a majestic feline knows that these anti-cat stereotypes couldn’t be further from the truth. Sure, you aren’t going to get the immediate unconditional love from a cat that a dog would give you after about two hours of hanging out. Cats will make you work a little harder for that unconditional love in return, but when they finally decide to let you into their inner circle, all that time it took to gain there trust is all worth it!
Many cats have a distinct and unique style or swagger in how they carry themselves or their special strut/style of walk. I had one cat who whenever he walked into a room he would lead with his back legs! He had quite the ‘cat walk’ and was bursting with immense personality.
This video has to be one of the best cat videos of all time. It features a tiny kitten, who realizes that a scary intruder has broken into her house and is sitting on the living room floor. The kitten is quite territorial and will not allow an evil doer to take over his and his family’s property.
The kitten has the eye of the tiger and the heart of a lion as you will see when he comes face to face with the intruder. The only thing is, the intruder happens to be a small green ball, but the kitten is completely unaware of this.
The brave, but freaked out kitten swipes and pounces at the evil intruder, but every time the ball turns around, the kitten runs for the hills. This has to be the most intense cat video I have ever seen. The kitty is such a brave little soul, I for one would have no clue what to do if I was in her situation.
The video is set perfectly to some spine-chilling horror movie music. So sit back relax, grab some popcorn and enjoy this epic and slightly scary kitty video! I may have nightmares for the next week. Enjoy the video and be safe out there! Remember during this spooky Halloween season keeping an adorable kitty nearby at all times can keep you safe! 🙂

After You Watch THIS Simple Nail Polish Hack You Will Never Polish Your Nails The Same Way Again!
The worst type of nail polish to remove is hands down the glitter filled kind. It takes ten times longer to scrub the glittery bits off your nails than any version without it. The worst part is when the nail polish remover soaked cotton swab you are using snags and sticks to the glitter on the nail then tears up the swab into an unusable mess!
If all this sounds familiar then you need to view this video and learn this cool trick. It will save you time, energy, and overall just make you more sane the next time you go to remove the dreadful polish.
This method involves a glue base coat that will allow you to peel the glitter right off. It only lasts about 2 days so keep that in mind if you want or need a longer wear time. For those who like to change their polish color or texture often, this is perfect. You will need Elmer’s glue, water, and a nail polish bottle, plus an optional small funnel to make it even easier.
Begin by squeezing some glue into the bottle and use however much you feel is enough to coat all the nails you plan on painting. Then pour a tiny bit of water into the bottle. This is where a small funnel will come in handy. Screw the cap on tight and shake the bottle until the glue and water are well mixed.
You want to have a consistency that is similar to what you find in a store bought nail polish base coat, which is slightly thicker than regular polish and not on the runny side. If you need to thicken it add more glue, and to thin add just a few drops of water at a time.
Once you have adjusted the glue and water to the ideal texture paint it on your nails like you would regular polish. Wait for it to dry into a matte state and then paint on any overcoat you desire.
The video shows us how easily the glue peels off nails. Even with three coats of glitter paint it lifts cleanly off. In total, around 90% of the polish comes off with the glue and then rest can be rubbed away with polish remover. Try it the next time you want pretty glittery nails and you’ll be glad you watched the video and learned this technique!

Apparently This Is The Scary Reason Why You Don’t See Fireflies On Your Lawn Anymore
Many people have some really fond memories of the happy, carefree times they spent outside searching for lightning bugs. It’s basically a childhood tradition to run around at dusk, looking for the tell-tale green lights, trying to track them down catch them. However, something strange has been happening lately!
If you’ve noticed that there just aren’t as many fireflies as there used to be, you’re not alone. All across the country, and the world, the little glowing bugs are fast disappearing. With each passing year there seems to be less and less lighting up the night and it will be a sad day when fireflies are gone forever.
Researchers and scientists have been documenting the phenomenon and along with bees, butterflies, and many other insects whose numbers are also in decline, the primary cause is being attributed to mostly human activities. In particular, the insects are losing their natural habitat as humans move in and take over the land.
The constant development and population growth means that there are fewer places for fireflies to live, breed, and thrive. They prefer cool, damp areas in and around forests where there is an abundance of rotting wood and bodies of standing water.
Another big issue they face is related to the explosive increase in light pollution. Between street lights, car lights, flood lights around houses, and all of the countless other sources of bright artificial light that illuminate the night sky, there’s a lot for them to contend with.
Light pollution is terrible for fireflies because it messes with their ability to light up and signal one another, which is how they mate. If they aren’t glowing as much, they aren’t reproducing as much, and that’s a major part of why there are noticeably less fireflies with each passing summer.
Finally, the extensive overuse of pesticides is killing scores of innocent lightning bugs. Chemical pesticides are extremely harsh and can be toxic to all forms of life, including your own. They kill much more than what they are intended for. In fact, pesticides are why bees are disappearing in such alarming numbers and many of the most common and widely used varieties are lethal to them.
In addition, the runoff containing the toxic chemicals ends up polluting rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, and basically any body of water, even watersheds, aren’t immune from their ill effects. In the end, it’s best for everyone, especially mother nature, to just say no to using pesticides.
As bleak as the firefly situation seems, there are some things you can do to help the cool little bugs out and make a positive difference. The easiest and most obvious thing you can do is limit the amount of light pollution you’re contributing to the environment.
Use lights with motion detectors so they aren’t always on and turn off any that may be unnecessary at night. You’ll not only save energy and money, you’ll also see more lightning bugs in the long run.
Next, give them a place to live. They don’t need much, just some natural vegetation like rotten logs and composting leaves is enough for them. If you can, rather than clean up everything on your property, leave part of it wild and untouched. Finally, stop using chemical pesticides! Opt for organic and other natural alternative solutions instead.
All that it takes is a little knowledge and awareness to help stem the drastic decline in lightning bug numbers. Please do what you can and be sure to pass this information on with friends and family so that future generations will be able to enjoy fireflies for years to come!

Do You Have an ‘M’ On The Palm Of Your Hand? If You Do This Is What It Means!
Throughout time and history there have been a number of different ways in which people have tried to determine the future and see what it held in store for them. Mankind has always been fascinated with the concept of being able to glimpse into the future. In fact, that’s one of the major driving forces behind everything from time travel machines to gazing into crystal balls!
One of the more widespread, universal, and individually centered methods of tapping into our fate and destiny was developed around the attributes which can be found on our own two hands. The ancient art of palmistry, or palm reading, has long been regarded as an excellent way to lay bare what’s to come in your life. Even if you don’t believe in things of this nature, the fact that palmistry has managed to endure for thousands of years is a testament to its perceived accuracy. Plus, you don’t need to be a professional palm reader in order to do it, anyone can read their own hands if they know what to look for!
Palmistry itself is centered around the belief that the lines and indentations on a persons hands and palms can be interpreted to reveal different aspects about their life. Some markings indicate personality traits, strengths or weaknesses, and other specific characteristics, while other lines reveal our destiny and what is likely to come in our lives. In particular, one specific line that people often wonder about is the appearance of the letter “M” on the palm of the hand.
The letter comes into formation by the appearance of several other major lines, those being mainly the heart, head, and life lines. Not all people have a clearly defined “M” on their hands, it’s actually kind of rare and those whose palms are marked with one are said to be special. They will be blessed with good fortune in their lives and will experience success in whatever they endeavor to do.
They are seen as gifted and intuitive individuals with brains and intelligence to match. As such, they will thrive in the careers they choose because they are also disciplined and have a strong sense of self-motivation. Furthermore, people whose palms have the letter M are masters at seeing through deception.
Not much gets past them and they almost always figure out if someone is lying, cheating, or being less than honest. In the end, the letter M has long been associated with both the traits mentioned above and the following qualities; leadership, good fortune, riches, power, and success.
