Swatting at gnats and bugs all day is literally — and figuratively — a pain in the neck. But did you know that the same product you use to massage away those aches and pains can also keep those pesky bugs away in the first place?

W.F. Young, Inc., the marketers of Absorbine Jr. Pain Relieving Liquid, often hear just that.

“We noticed an increase in the number of inquiries to our customer service department regarding Absorbine Jr. and its ability to help with gnats,” said Robert J. Wallace, Vice President of Sales at W.F. Young, Inc. “We do not market or make any claims that Absorbine Jr. helps in this way, but it became a word-of-mouth phenomenon. We also heard from our retailers that they couldn’t keep the product on their shelves.”

Shinn Bussel, a general merchandise/drug manager at the Schnuck’s supermarket in Betendorf, Iowa, is just one of those retailers amazed at the product’s popularity. “After watching Absorbine Jr. fly off the shelves, I decided to try it myself and was amazed,” she said. “I don’t know what makes the product so effective, but the swarming gnats left me alone.”

So what’s the secret? The product, originally intended to provide temporary relief of muscle aches, pains, strains, backache and arthritis, is believed to drive gnats away with its unique scent, which comes from natural menthol, absinthium oil, wormwood oil and other herbal ingredients.

The discovery of Absorbine Jr.’s dual purpose has left the pain reliever in high demand. Luckily, the makers have dramatically increased production to meet the influx of new customers eager to experience its many benefits.

“People now know that they can depend on Absorbine Jr. to be there to help them not only with their muscle aches and pains, but those pain-in-the-neck gnats,” said Wallace.

Americans love the movies. Whether it’s watching Tom Cruise hang from a building or a new rom-com, movies are a nice diversion from the daily grind (if only for a couple of hours), a place to stay cool on hot summer days, and usually provide pure, unadulterated enjoyment.

To make the experience even more pleasant, theaters are now boasting reserved seating, fancier fare than your standard tub of popcorn and soda, and best of all, beer, wine and cocktails—all for a high-end price.

The rise of “dine-in” theaters aims to put the traditional dinner-and-a-movie all in the same place, instead of rushing from one venue to another.

“It’s a way for theater owners to capture that revenue and keep it there instead of seeing it go down the mall,” Patrick Corcoran, vice president and chief communications officer for the National Association of Theatre Owners, told USA Today in an interview.

However, even with all the bells and whistles that are part and parcel of many movie theaters, there are still things you may want to bring to ensure your experience is that much more pleasurable while you watch your favorite flick.

• Dress in layers. Movie theaters tend to get cold (which is why they’re a great place to go in the summer), so bringing a long-sleeve shirt, or light sweater or jacket, is never a bad idea. You can also forgo it if the theater temperature suits you.

• Silence your phone. Out of respect to those around you, set your phone to vibrate, or better yet, turn it off completely. This way, you won’t be tempted to see if anyone has texted or called you.

• Keep mum. While you may have your thoughts on any given movie or scene, or want to opine with your date about whodunit, keep the chit-chat to a minimum. Even over the superior sound systems used in movie theaters today, voices still carry.

• Consider portable accessories. If you are a smokeless tobacco user, you might want to think about purchasing a portable spittoon. Look at it this way: taking a bottle or cup to a luxury theater is not a viable option (especially if it’s a first date). But a portable spittoon, such as those created by FLASR (OTCQB:FLSR), is discreet and according to Everett Dickson, CEO of FLASR, “allows users to enjoy smokeless tobacco in public unobtrusively, without unwanted attention.” To this end, the company’s new 4-ounce pocket spittoon lets users open and shut it with just one hand. And FLASR’s original tobacco flask, has an advanced closing mechanism, ensuring that it stays closed when not in use, eliminating the possibility of spills and leaks.

A concert is more than an event, it’s an experience. This is a chance to get dressed up, go out on the town, connect with your friends and maybe just discover a hot new band that you want to add to your playlist.

For some, however, the pressure may be too much. Is it possible to just sit back and enjoy the concert? We believe so. In fact, the following tips will help guarantee you enjoy the show.

For music lovers, it’s a dream come true: showing up on a whim, anywhere, anytime. Unfortunately, this could be a recipe for a social disaster. In other words, it’s the type of faux pas that your friends will talk about at cocktails parties for weeks, if not years, to come. To prevent any mistakes, Google the artists, especially if they’re new in town. Is this a head-banging rock concert that calls for leather pants or a sophisticated evening of light jazz? By knowing the genre, you’ll be better able to pick your wear (and your attitude).

Plus-Ones Preferred

Spread the word and make an event of the night. Use the concert as a means of catching up with friends, getting to know other folks in the office or surprising your significant other.

Keep It to a Minimum

For those who love to imbibe, three words: Keep it classy. No one wants to carry you home, and even fewer folks paid money to hear you singing along with the band.

Be Prepared

Make sure you have what you need for an evening out. Besides the basics, like your keys, your cell phone, credit cards and comfortable shoes, take along the accessory you use to do what you do.

If you dip, consider packing FLASR, the portable spittoon. This Atlanta-based product fits in your pocket and has a secure locking mechanism, so you don’t need to worry about embarrassing spills.

As a senior entering into your last year of school, you have a lot to be proud of — your grades, your accomplishments, your relationships, and, this year, your senior photo.

Of course you want the “Wow! factor” when you hold the photo in your hand, but to get that takes some preparation and investigation well before you actually arrive at the shoot.

To make things easier, we’ve put together four tips to help you get those picture-perfect shot — ones that are timeless and celebrate your spirit and personality.

* Know before you go. Reviewing a photographer’s online portfolio will allow you to see if their images reflect the style you’re looking for, and mesh with your personality, be it black and white, natural, candid with minimal posing, formal, or classic. Whatever your style, find a photographer whose existing work reflects your vision, instead of hoping the photographer will intuitively understand. You’ll save yourself (and your photographer) time and energy by doing your homework ahead of time.

* Establish a connection. Most photographers perform better when they are at ease with their subject (in this case, you), which ultimately translates to better photos. In this way, it’s important to meet your photographer beforehand to see if you feel comfortable with him or her. “Feeling comfortable during your photo session is the number-one most important thing if you want to have great, relaxed photographs,” says Michelle Moore of Michelle Moore Photography in Seattle, Wash., who is a member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), a non-profit association.

* Ensure that your photographer is a pro. The last thing you want to worry about is whether the person you’re hiring is actually a professional. To ease your mind, consider hiring a PPA photographer (www.FindaPhotographer.com) is a website from the non-profit that allows you to search, sort by specialty, locate, browse through portfolios, and even contact qualified photographers in your area). Photographers who are a part of this association have the artistic and technical knowledge and experience to capture and preserve your unique personality while making you feel comfortable.

* Let your parents have a say. While your folks may have different tastes, remember that they are in control of the purse strings, that is, they are (usually) the ones paying. This should be a combined effort, one that involves both parents and teens. “You’ll want to find a compromise in terms of style and budget; but ultimately, it should be a decision that both you and your parents make,” says Moore.

Despite their best efforts, most women have had the experience of frantically digging into the bottom of a large purse or handbag for an essential item such as eyeglasses, cellphone, keys, or passport. A separate case to corral these important possessions makes sense, especially if it combines fashion with function.

Being able to protect, carry, and access these items in a reliable, convenient, safe way makes women’s lives easier and better, according to the creator of TravelEyez, a unique, stylish accessory that holds not only eyeglasses, but other essentials including phones and keys.

The TravelEyez products are double-sided and designed to zip around the strap or handle of any purse, handbag, or backpack.This stylish accessory is available in black mesh with six different-colored zipper options, as well as black leather and caramel leather for a dressier look, and are sold in sets of two cases that may be zipped together or used separately. The designs are identical regardless of color, so they can mix and match, or stay consistent.”Each TravelEyez case can hold a pair of glasses or car keys, money, credit cards, jewelry or a smart phone. You can zip cases together to connect as many as you need, and attach them to your purse or bag handle to keep your personal items organized and close at hand for easy access,” says Yvonne Graber, creator of TravelEyez.

TravelEyez also gives women peace of mind. The case cancels the need to keep valuables such as a phone or keys in a pants or jacket pocket where they might fall out.Some of the most popular uses include:- Travel. Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, the case provides a secure way to monitor a phone, wallet, credit cards and passport. Try it on a suitcase, travel tote, or carry-on bag.- Shopping. As mundane as it may sound, don’t underestimate the value of a handy way to easily access your phone and wallet when shopping, especially for moms toting small children along.- On the go. This is an ideal accessory for students, fitness fanatics, or those on the go. The cases attach easily to bike bars, gym bags, and backpack straps.With the holidays just around the corner, TravelEyez also makes a great gift or stocking stuffer.The patent on the TravelEyez design is pending.For more information, visit traveleyez.com.
