    Hey Olivia, as you may already know i’ve been thinking about moving to the city, and one of my concerns is the nasty bug…cockroach…eww, I hate even spelling it…but anyways, the superintendent can spread the chemicals and so forth to control them, but I was wondering if you knew of any safer products for bug repelling with less toxic chemicals in them

  2. Hi Sarah.

    I think Green Apple Pest would probably be able to help you out. http://www.greenapplepest.com

    If you want to do it yourself, I would look into using EcoPCO ACU Contact Insecticide (which is safe) and Bioganic Home and Garden Insect Killer…both of which are available at The Organic Gardening Shop (www.organic-gardening-shop.com)

    I hope you are well. If you need any more help, don’t hesitate to ask.

    Obtaining regular exercise can also help avoid acne. Whenever we exercise, we’re escalating the blood flow to our skin, and providing more oxygen to our skin cells. Sweating moderately also cleans our skin pores from the inside out, also aiding inside the prevention of pimples. Regular exercise and moderate sweating are superb methods of assisting to stop pimples, but taking a shower right away later on is extremely essential.
