Can you use diaper rash cream as sunscreen? Mari asks…Today a customer came into the retail pharmacy where I work and demanded that we sell him zinc oxide diaper rash paste so he could use it as sunscreen. I tried to steer him in the direction of actual sunscreens with listed SPFs, but he was […]
While going through the codebase of a former client, I found that I was using four different ways for showing HTML on Android. This made me realize that I didn’t really know what the correct way of showing them is and I’ve always hammered my way using trial & error until the HTML tags have showed up. Embarrassed, I decided to explore how […]
How can you find a cheaper natural lip balm? Abby says…I have a question about Bite Beauty’s Agave Lip Mask. It claims its natural formula smoothes, nourishes and moisturizes lips with a bio active combination of organic agave nectar, jojoba oil, vanilla co2 extract, and triple the amount of the antioxidant trans-resveratrol found in red […]

Undoubtedly, cell phones have become an inseparable part of our lives. From the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed, smartphones are like an extension of ourselves. An important phone call. A new urgent email. A new Twitter notification. The app tells us the weather conditions of the day. There’s always […]
