DIY Natural Bleach Alternative

Since being diagnosed with PCOS and with an MTHFR-gene mutation three years ago, one of my missions in life has been to rid my home of necessary chemicals and toxins. While this may seem like a relatively simple process, but as I’ve transitioned to fully working from my home office I’ve stopped seeing cleaning as a series of weekend cleaning marathons and now more a daily stream of necessitated chores and routine maintenance that requires cleaners, tools, and a litany of products to be kept on hand at home.

With having health issues I’ve been at odds over which cleaners to buy. Should one go with tried-and-true cleaners or making products that may or may not work for our family’s needs? I’ve truly anguished over whether or not what I believed to be the best way to clean my home was correct, as most of what I know about cleaning and home care came from my Grandmother. All of which makes buying cleaners, solvents, and detergents more and more difficult.

One of my most difficult quandaries? Chlorine bleach. Growing up I cannot tell you the number of times I remember my Grandmother pulled out her trusty jug of bleach. From cleaning counters to laundry to even adding a capful of bleach to hand washed dishes, bleach was a staple in our home. My issue? Bleach causes me skin allergies, induced asthma symptoms, and makes my eyes water horribly. As a result, I stopped buying bleach.

But while my bleach allergies stopped the need to not have dingy, grayish laundry did not cease to be a need or concern in our home. Which led me to rethink my ban on bleach. Except, this time I needed to find an affordable, lasting bleach alternative. Particularly a natural, homemade alternative that brightens your clothes, smells good and doesn’t irritate my skin. A tall order indeed.

So I began with a little research to find the right natural bleach. I started working with the following commonly known brighteners to find a viable at-home solution:

hydrogen peroxide
lemon juice
baking soda
vinegar
citric acid
lemon essential oil

While all of the items above will whiten and brighten clothes, not all of these products can be used together. For example, mixing vinegar and hydrogen peroxide creates peracetic acid, an acid which can be incredibly irritating to the skin, eyes, and nasal passages. So to avoid allergic reactions while cleaning, I eliminated vinegar off my list.

So using the remaining ingredients and after numerous rounds of washing our reusable kitchen cleaning clothes, I’ve come up with a combination that gets the job done and is very affordable! Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
15 Drops Lemon Essential Oil
3/4 Cup Baking Soda
7 Cups Water
1 Teaspoon Citric Acid
1/2 Gallon Mason Jar

Method:

Combine all ingredients in a container.
Shake blend well before each use.
Use 1 cup per load, washing with hottest water setting available.

A few final thoughts:

While some other DIY recipes for bleach alternatives call for equal parts hydrogen peroxide and lemon juice, I thought that it would be a tad expensive with so much lemon juice. The 3:1 ratio I went with, in conjunction with the jugs of lemon juice I can purchase from Sam’s Club for a song, is enough to get the job done and keeps costs affordable.

As well, as a rule, hydrogen peroxide should be kept in a cool place and preferably in a dark bottle, and as should this blend. The water you add can be plain tap water. No need to use filtered water when it’s only going to be combined with tap water in the washer anyway.

Also, the water you add can be plain tap water as there will not be a need to use filtered water when it’s only going to be combined with tap water in the washer anyway.

Now if you have ultra dirty clothes you might want to soak dirty clothes and solution in the washer overnight and then add detergent and finish cleaning cycle in the morning. Another tip is to wash dirty clothes twice in a row before drying, and of course, to wash in hot water to help make your laundry it’s lightest and brightest.

Cost breakdown for this blend:

Hydrogen Peroxide: $0.07
Lemon Juice: $0.18
Lemon Essential Oil: $0.18
Baking soda: $0.11
Citric Acid: $0.09
Total cost for 1/2 gallon all-natural homemade bleach alternative: is just 63¢!
This is an 89% savings over conventional bleach alternative products!

As the cost for store-bought bleach at Costco and Sam’s Club averages about 3 cents per ounce, but this homemade version costs just 0.5 cents per ounce, so you’re not only saving money but harmful chemicals from your home and laundry, too!

So, everyone, I have to ask, do you use bleach or are you more into the bleach alternative camp? I’d love to hear your opinions below!

10 Health Concerns To Make Time For This Summer

(Photo Source)

You know your health is important, but as life goes by, you’ll often find that you get busy and don’t always give it the attention it deserves. During the winter months, you’ll often want to hibernate and not really focus on anything that means you have to get out of your comfort zone.

However, when the summer comes around, you don’t really have an excuse. Plus, during these gorgeous warm months, you’ll want to feel your best. Because if you’re really going to be able to relax this summer, you need to be happy and healthy. If you know that you’re not feeling your best right now, it’s time to change that. But how?

Right now, you may not want to undergo any extensive operations and drastically change your lifestyle. Because it’s the summer and you want to be able to enjoy it. But at the same time, you do need to make sure that you’re doing what you can to look and feel good.

The best news is that there are plenty of measures that you can take to make this happen. From some really simple steps and lifestyle switches to a few more interesting ones, let’s take a look at what you can do to feel healthier throughout the summer. Here are ten reasons that you should make more time for your health this summer:

1. Digestive Health

Gut health is something that we tend to ignore or write off as a luxury, and not a necessity. But so many of us are eating foods that cause our digestive system to struggle – and you feel absolutely awful (unnecessary) as a result. Yes, this is where bloating, stomach pains, and excess gas can come from.

This summer, you’re going to want to be a bit kinder to your gut. Taking prebiotics can help you with this. These will feed the probiotics that are in your gut already and help them to grow.

At some point, you may need to see a gastroenterologist. These are medical professionals that focus on your digestive health.

The key to this is knowing when you need to see them. You’ll need to keep multiple things in mind before deciding.

If you experience certain symptoms, then you’ll need to see a doctor. Some of the more notable of these are:

Leakage
Rectal Bleeding
Pale-Colored Stools
Dark Urine
Abdominal Pain
Loss Of Appetite or Pain

If these issues persist, seeing a medical professional quickly is recommended. Outside of these, there shouldn’t be much to worry about. You mightn’t need to see a medical professional.

If you’re worried about anything, however, it could be worth speaking with them.

2. Radiant Skin

Another big concern for many of us during the summer months is radiant skin and healthier skin overall. Thankfully for us all, the sun does tend to help most skin issues clear up. But at the same time, you do need to ensure that you’re working to protect your skin from the sun.

Sun damage can happen even when the sun isn’t at its strongest. So you do need to be wearing an SPF 50 on your face as a minimum to stay healthy.

3. Joint Care

From here, you’ve then got joint care to be thinking about. You may find that any joint pain you have gets worse in the summer. This is because your body can be more dehydrated, which can lead to an increase in inflammation of the joints.

So for the summer, make sure you look into arthritis help and joint support. Support products and supplements can help you here, along with increasing your hydration levels.

4. Healthy Hair

Alongside skin, another beauty factor that we all want to take care of in the summer is healthier hair. The sun can dry out your hair as well as your skin, so you have to work to keep it hydrated. Make sure that you’re using a deep conditioner weekly and increase the number of healthy fats, such as salmon and avocado, that you eat to bring back the shine in your locks.

5. Bright Eyes

Eye health is another thing that we tend to overlook. But during the summer, you could be exposed to more damage than you think. UVA and UVB rays can harm your retinas. So your sunglasses shouldn’t just be an accessory this summer, but health support.

6. Heart Health

A huge concern for most of us should be our hearts. It’s such a vital organ, yet the one we tend to do the most damage to with our lifestyle choices.

So, you’re going to want to ensure that you’re working on some heart-friendly exercises that can keep you in shape this summer. At a minimum, just make sure that you’re trying to walk a lot more than usual, as this will work wonders for your mind, your body, and your heart health this summer.

7. Allergy Control

If you are someone that suffers from summer allergies, you’ll want to start putting some preparations in place now. Because you won’t want these to rule your life. Speak to your doctor and get some extra medication so you can keep your symptoms at bay and actually enjoy your summer!

8. Weight Control

If you know that you’re currently in an unhealthy weight range, you’re going to want to think about turning that around. And summer is a great time to start.

If you are going to be walking more, then you may find that you’re happy to add a little something extra like cycling or even a fun workout class. You want to look and feel your best this summer, so start taking control of your weight today and you will feel much better for it.

9. Mental Health

Do you ever make time to care for your mental health? If you don’t, then this is something that you need to start thinking about. Because your mental health is just as important as your physical health. And it’s something that we just don’t talk enough about.

This summer, think about the little steps you can take to boost your mental health. You will find that you feel much happier in yourself when you do.

10. Emotional Wellbeing

Finally, as a step from that, you really need to make sure that you’re looking after your emotional wellbeing. And to do that, you have to make yourself a priority. If you need to slow down and de-stress, then do it. Because to enjoy the summer, you have to be in the best position possible.

5 Ways To Limit Stress at Home with Minimalism

Modern lives are filled with noise, even for minimalists. And every day, it’s getting harder to turn down the volume of our crowded minds.

Even the places in which once held solitude are often now filled with the deluge of our heavily mediated culture. From airport waiting rooms to check out lanes at your local market, we find ourselves bombarded with ambient advertisements, social pressures, and visually distracting clutter. Or as I call it- digital stress.

And don’t get me wrong, digital stressors often help to keep our business running and our homes entertained, and for bloggers like myself, a steady source of income. But like all good things moderation, digital stress can help to usher in consumption consumerism including our televisions, Internet connections, smartphones, tablets, and our infinite technical advances—the means by which we invest our attention spans every waking moment of every single day. The same stress that leaves us depleted, feel inadequate, and in constant need for irrational change.

But there’s good news: we can turn down the noise. We can halt the digital stress. It’s not easy, and it takes a certain kind of awareness, but we can turn it down.

This is where minimalism comes into play for myself, my home, and my family. Minimalism has taught me to recognize the need in my own life to turn down my stressors, to know when I need to detach from noise, to reconnect with friends and family, and when I need moments of solitude and self-care in my life.

These are the five ways I use minimalism as a tool to help me create solitude and minimize digital stress during chaotic times in my home and in my life:

Reevaluate your mornings. Minimalism has taught me the value of waking up with purpose. I enjoy waking up early. Waking up slowly. Taking my time to enter my new day with clarity and purpose. To take my first stretch from the bed. To limit my digital stress by avoiding marketing and emails for a full two hours after I wake each morning. To do this I set aside twenty minutes each morning for devotion and to write in my gratitude journal in a quiet room with no distractions—no TV, no radio, no clocks, no noise: just me, my thoughts, and my mental clarity. I’m waking up to the world stress-free and on my own terms.

Schedule time to read. I love reading, especially classic literature, political memoirs, and all things Jane Austen. Minimalism teaches me to make time for the things in my life I love especially reading. I now schedule a time to check out books from the library, find free digital books online, or to attend a local book club. This forces me into solitude: just me, my thoughts, and the characters on the page.

Going for a walk. Before I became a minimalist I lead a very sedentary life. I worked in a corporate office. I then transitioned to working from home first as a caretaker, then at-home legal position, and then as a blogger. My life is now very different. I now walk all the time. Walking gives me uninterrupted time to think, time for myself, time inside my head to marshal my emotions and reactions to business dealings, spirituality, and even interpersonal relationships. Walking is the healthiest distraction I’ve ever found and I love the nurturing solitude it provides. Even if it’s a fifteen-minute walk, it’s worth my time: just me, my thoughts, and the street lamps below small town southern skies.

Make time for exercise. Like with walking, I make time to exercise each day. I just walk into my spare bedroom turned home gym and perform everything from yoga stretches to push-ups, squats, and pull-ups. Whatever I do, I enjoy having the opportunity to do it by myself in solitude: just me, my thoughts, and my body in motion. I’ve been able to burn away stress, physical, emotional, and digital, and I’ve lost sixty pounds in the process this past year as well. Exercise has helped to create a new me. Minimalism has helped me recognize it.

Declutter your distractions. When we are distracted by the digital noise we can also become sidetracked from common sense, a state of being that doesn’t seem all too common these days. We forget obligations. We stop taking care of yourself. Luckily, you can try to turn off your cellphone, turn off your television, even take an internet sabbatical. That’s what I’ve done, I turn off social media each weekend and it’s been great: just me, my thoughts, and more meaningful life. When I minimize my distractions, I can truly cynosure onto life’s greatest pleasures- being a joy-chaser extraordinaire.

So these are the 5 ways minimalism helps me to avoid stress at home and can do the same for you. Now, friends, I’d love to know how do you avoid the stresses of life and digital distraction and stress in your neck of the woods? I’d love to hear about it below!

3 Ways To Become Fair Trade Compliant

Please note, this post is sponsored by Diamond Bloggers. All opinions are my own. Thank you.

According to the American Apparel and Footwear Association, in 2016, Americans spent $361 billion on apparel and footwear. With 97 percent of that clothing being imported from other countries. Clothing made by millions of factory workers. Workers that are real people in real factories that are, oftentimes, not paid a real living wage for their trade.

With those billions only accumulating to 1:20 of the international trade purchased by Americans each year. While the average international worker makes less than $1.00 USD per day for the goods the average American pays nearly a 2000% markup on.

It’s easy to distance ourselves from the manufacturing process. Purchasing clothing we assume is sourced from a country that offers a great deal of protection to workers, without considering that the person who made our garment might be working well outside of those protections. Protections we would not find suitable in our workplaces each day.

It goes without saying that our clothing purchases have a direct impact on the lives of these people. The people who work hard to provide us with the things we purchase freely each and every day. Because unless something previously heinous occurs, we often fail to take notice what happens to those who work behind the labels we wear.

A prime example? In 2013, more than 1,100 factory workers died in a building collapse in Bangladesh. The building housed several apparel factories that produced mostly Western brands.

In the aftermath of this tragedy, reports about poor construction, code violations, and no building permits rolled in. It was also reported that on the day before the collapse, an engineer deemed the building unsafe, but factory owners kept the doors open to meet the quotas for the year’s upcoming American and European holiday season.

A tragedy that made me take pause and reflect on the social, economic, and environmental weight of my purchases. To begin to understand that the clothing I purchased was less a fashion risk and more a vessel of inequality and environmental peril. To make the connection between human beings thousands of miles from where we stand and the clothes on my back.

So, what can we do as Americans whose demand for more apparel leads to greater pressure on workers in developing countries? We insist on fair trade certification for the companies that we purchase from. And here are 3 steps to help you get started seeking out Fair Trade compliance at home:

Verify that your purchases are Fair Trade Compliant:

The first step in bettering the working conditions of workers internationally is to learn about Fair Trade partners domestically. One of my favorite watch groups is Fair Trade USA. Founded in 1998, is the leading third-party certifier of fair-trade products in the United States.

They work to provide farmers and workers producing Fair Trade Certified goods with fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmental protection. They also provide development funds to empower their communities internationally.

In 2012, the organization expanded its focus to include clothing, which sets forth more than 330 compliance criteria for textile factories. To earn Fair Trade certification, companies must meet specific factory and trade standards, which in 2006 was expanded to include clauses ensuring human rights, LGTBQ rights, and anti-harassment criteria as well.

Becoming familiar with Fair Trade Compliance watch groups, and buying from companies committed to meeting and maintaining Fair Trade practices helps set the foundation of fair trade mindedness for yourself and your family at home.

Especially when it comes to common food items at home. Particularly that of produce, imported coffees, teas, beauty products, oils, vanilla, spice, and chocolate products. Products often sourced from nations with the harshest working conditions for growers in nations with the least standardized worker’s rights policies.

Because when you choose to buy fair trade, you’re benefitting both the farmers and the workers who manufacture the products. As with other goods that meet certification standards, you’re helping to provide better wages, working conditions, and put in place more environmentally friendly practices, such as encouraging farming of organic cotton. You’re also empowering communities.

Commit to buying Fair Trade:

As consumers, we have a social responsibility to spend our money wisely. We have a choice where our portion of global finance occurs. We can continue to blindly support industries that show little regard for human rights or protection of the environment. Or we can take a stand make the intentional decision to know what we’re buying, where it’s made, and who is making it. Overall helping to improve the lives of other humans just like us. This includes buying locally and from makers as well.

Building our Fair Trade Knowledge:

Knowing what to buy and from where is only part of the battle. As consumers, it’s paramount that we continue to educate ourselves by reading reputable sources, subscribing to watchdog groups, as well as reading leading globalization and trade scholars on not only Fair Trade practices abroad but about issues of domestic trade, globalization, and international trade as well.

One such author of merit is Andrew Charlton, a leading authority on globalization and trade in both print and forum discussion online.

So, friends, those are just 3 of the ways you can start the process of being more Fair Trade compliant in your little corner of the world. Now I want to ask, do you purchase Fair Trade goods or are you looking to do so this year? Share your thoughts below.

How to stop being a stuffaholic

Picture a place. A place where each room was filled to capacity with piles of things. Some lovely. Some not. Lots of laundries needing to be folded, magazines were thrown about, piles of papers in abundance, mail collecting by your doorway, and kitchen counters covered with belongings, most of which were from who knows where.

A time when seemingly every square foot of my home was covered in games, toys, papers, books, manuals, legal books, clothing, and all things dusty. I the blink of an eye I moved from a newlywed collecting articles for a new life of wedded bliss towards a home full of chotzskys, clutter, and chaos. I had turned into a full-fledged stuffaholic.

Had there been a 12-step plan for Stuffaholics Anonymous, I would have been the perfect test subject for treatment. I can see myself standing up and saying, Hello, my name is Nicole, and I’m a Stuffaholic. So, how did I get myself and my family to stop being stuffaholics? Slowly, over time. Specifically, in the past year while in the process of becoming a minimalist I was forced to examine why I was a stuffaholic. This soul-searching didn’t take long as I knew where all of this stemmed from.

My cluttered home and my cluttered emotional state stemmed from my childhood, a fear of the unknown. Growing up I remember my grandmother keeping two toasters in our home, one for use and a spare. She would often tell me that items in a home should be maintained like Noah, in pairs. And through this experience, I slowly over time developed the just-in-case disease. The disease that tells you that you cannot be happy or productive without the things you think you may one day need. This fear of the unknown was at the root of my unnecessary spending from year’s past, was causing me anxiety, and was turning my house into the set from Sanford and Sons.

The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. And when in my own home I saw the evidence of just-in-case’isms at work I was taken back. We owned toolboxes full of tools, just in case we need to fix something. My kitchen was full of appliances just in case we want to prepare a new, different sort of meal.

We even have closets full of clothes I knew we’ll never wear just in case an occasion should arise. What was worse? Many of these items were hugely valuable assets, costing hundred upon hundreds of dollars that only get used occasionally, such as televisions in spare rooms, gaming systems, formal furniture, appliances, and expensive handbags, jewelry, and shoes. In the grand scheme of things, my home lay as a monument to the incredible waste of natural, economic, and emotional clutter.

Resources that once lost did little more than cause phantom power leaks and collect dust. With time and consideration, I have been able to curb a lot of spending, shopping, and unnecessary accumulations in my home. And so you may be asking, what can be done to cure this need to bring more and more things into our homes? Here are the thirteen tips to help you curb shopaholic tendencies:

Tune out Marketing

Advertising and marketers know us very well. They are so well-versed in ways to make us want their shiny new stuff. But unlike children are drawn to Saturday morning cartoon commercial propaganda, we now can control both our emotions and purse strings. We can simply say no to spending. Turn off the commercials, unsubscribe from email listings, recycle your weekend advertisements, and put marketers on the back burner.

Utilize the Sharing Economy

Utilize public service first. Before buying books check out your local libraries, before purchasing music check out Youtube or Pandora to listen to the music for free.

Borrow before you buy

Need a tool? Ask a neighbor. Utilize the tools knowledge, and help of friends, family, and neighbors first.

Adopt a potluck lifestyle

You don’t need a house full of dishes, service pieces, platters, and the like. Have only dishes, cups, plates, and utensils you both love and utilize lately. When it’s time to entertain ask others to bring pieces from their homes with them. Being a gracious host sometimes means allowing others to be generous to you as well.

Consider a Capsule Wardrobe

Sometimes pairing down your items capsule wardrobes, wardrobes consisting of under 37 pieces, allows users to laser focus on making the most out of the least amount of clothing options you already have on hand. You can wear your truths right on your sleeve. No credit cards needed!

Conduct a household inventory

Before you shop look in your closet, check your pantry, check your fridge, look in cabinets and cupboards to make sure you’re not buying unnecessary duplicates. If you have enough shoes, dresses, electronics, DVD’s, food items to last you a season, just stop! You don’t need to buy another couple of outfits from Gymboree, a new purse, or another soon-to-be-lost kitchen gadget.

Carry a shopping list

Make a list of what you plan to buy and what you plan to spend on each item before you shop. Buy only from your list. This can greatly help eliminate unnecessary spending in-store.

Put items that you want to buy on hold for one week

Placing unneeded items that you want to buy “on hold” for one week. And at the end of the week, you might find you really didn’t need it after all.

Sales are for suckers

Not every sale is worth shopping. But it’s worth noting that most sales, for nearly everything, are cyclical and will be back around in one seasons time. I tell myself there will be more sales.

Bring cash

Leaving your credit cards at home and using only cash will help you see just what a true financial impact overspending can have on your budget and on the clutter coming into your home.

Track what you spend

Don’t fudge the numbers. Track your spending by writing down everything that you bought this month. Put down the exact price. You need to see where your money is going. You may be shocked at what you see. You may be surprised to see how easy it will be to stop budget leaks too!

Purpose your time

In lieu of spending, use the time you would have been shopping to find ways to pay down credit card debt. Start by making a list of all of your credit cards, the balance due, minimum payment due and interest rate. Put the card with the highest interest rate at the top. Plan to pay off that balance first. Talk to creditors about lowering the interest rate. You might need to liquidate stuff to pay off debt too!

So, those are my tips for ending stuffaholic ways. And just so you know, it’s not so much about stuff. It’s about subtracting the clutter to allow more joy into your life. And guess what? Those who live lean think about stuff as much as “stuffaholics” do. Only we think first about the “what” and the “why” of the things we have purposefully chosen for our homes, life, and families.

What it’s like to live lean is to live with more intention, less debt, and without the fear of the just-in-case prison we have created for ourselves. It’s like living for today. No more, no less.

I challenge you to put away the excuses. Stop it’s impossible to do with children, minimalist style is cold, I couldn’t live with as little as I think you live with, one-channel thinking, obsessed with neatness notions. You have permission to pack away your stuffaholic notions in a drawer or closet. For it’s just not true. You can be debt-free. You can live with less. You can do without clutter and stuff. Think intentional creature comforts, not clutter.

You can live without excess. You can have a home that has soul, space, and tranquility – even with a toddler, even with pets, and anything else you hold near and dear. You may be thinking that living without being a stuffaholic may not be for everyone, but it’s something to think about.

Tools To Help You Get Real Creative With Your Content

When it comes to cementing your brand, your work might speak for itself, but it helps if you speak for it, too. Well-written content gives you the chance to share the method to your madness, to spread some insights, and demonstrate your expertise. However, writing effective, easy-to-read content isn’t as simple as it might first appear, especially if you have plenty of writing to do. For that reason, here are a few tools that can help make it all the easier to get creative and efficient.

(Photo Source)

A second pair of eyes

Even if you reread and reread your own content, it’s easy to miss mistakes, especially those that tend to slip past autocorrect functions built into your word processors. Reading aloud is a good tip for testing the “readability” of your pieces but having a second pair of eyes is even better. That’s where proofreading apps like Hemingway and Grammarly can be most effective. Not only can you spot errors and mistakes, but they can point out bits that are functionally correct, but don’t read too well.

Your work zone

The majority of your work is likely to be done in a text editor. However, it can be hard to find those with all of the features that you like. It’s worth taking a look at what is the best text editor for Mac to see which ones have the features to meet your needs. Editors come with all sorts of bell and whistles, including direct integration with content systems like WordPress, a distraction-blocking Zen mode, the ability to leave notes on the text that don’t interfere with the word count, and more. It’s all about choosing which features are a priority for you.

The right snaps

Your content isn’t all about the actual written content, either. Good imagery is essential for making it stand out amongst your blog or the rest of your articles. Furthermore, snaps can be used to illustrate your points and provide context that the text itself goes to expand on. Good sources of stock images are invaluable tools. You will want to have more than a couple at your disposal so you’re not always reusing the same snaps, as well.

A place for your notes

A good text editor will have note functionality that allows you to make observations and keep track of resources you can use for a specific piece of content. However, note-making apps give you a separate place to independently track the different ideas and resources that you use most frequently when writing content in general. These apps make it a lot easier to jot down ideas even when they’re not relevant to the particular piece of content you’re writing right now and to separate notes into different pages and categories that make it all the easier to stop clutter from slowing down your productivity.

Of course, all the tools in the world won’t help unless you have content that’s worth reading. Make sure that you’re always thinking about the value that readers can take from your content, not just what you want to write.
