For health and eco-conscious consumers, it's important to buy chicken that aws raised without added hormones. The only way to be sure that you're buying chicken raised without hormones is to carefully inspect the label for a "No added hormones" disclaimer.

It's actually illegal to add hormones to chickens in the US and Australia. If there is a label that says so, they are bragging about nothing.

When painting a wall with latex paint, it's recommended that you first dip your brush in water, then dip it fully into the paint. Hold it at a 45 degree angle and paint in long, even strokes.

You don't want to dip fully into the paint, otherwise you'll get too much paint and cause dripping and streaks.

Knowing when to water your plants can make all the difference for healthy plants and environmental choices. Water infrequently, but thoroughly, adding it gradually, and ideally at night to avoid excess evaporation.

You should be watering plants at the beginning on the day.

Watering mid-day will cause evaporation issues and watering at night will cause evaporation to become too slow and you'll get mould and fungas growing.

Windows can be washed with a simple mixture of water and dish detergent. While it's best to clean on a sunny day when you can see the dirt an overcast day will work too. Scrub the window with a sponge or scrubber dipped in your cleaning mixture, then squeegee it off, curving downward at the end of each stroke.

You should avoid sunny days when cleaning windows because you'll get water-spots on your windows from the sun evaporating the water too quickly.

One of the most important parts of car ownership and maintenance is knowing when to replace certain parts. Generally speaking, your batter should be replaced every 4 - 5 years, your air filter should be replaced every 3 - 4 years, and your windshield wiper blades replaced every 2 - 3 years.

Your windshield wiper blades should be replaced every 6 - 12 months.
