There are many different napkin folding techniques you can use to bring beauty to your table. Here are few ideas.
  • Standing Fan
  • Pocket Fold
  • Rolled Napkin
  • Knotted Napkin
  • Pouch
  • Bowtie
  • Flower or Star
  • Envelope

Check out this step-by-step guide to create the standing fan napkin fold.
  1. Fold your napkin in half so that it is a rectangle with the "pretty" side out.
  2. Start at either end and fold the napkin like an accordion. You can do this by folding the napkin one way and then other other, stacking the folds on top of each other as you go.
  3. Leave 2-3 inches unfolded. Fold the napkin in half with the accordion folds on the outside. Tuck the unfolded inches into the accordion folds to create a stand.
  4. Gently open up your fan and adjust as needed to make it look presentable.

Help! What's the best way to get rid of ants?
I’m going nuts here. Every morning I wake up and find dozens of ants wandering around in my kitchen and living room. It doesn’t seem to matter how many traps I set out or how deep I clean my home to get rid of food scraps or whatever the ants seem to be after. Does sugar water get rid of ants? I feel like I heard something like that somewhere but I have no clue if any of that stuff actually works. What will actually solve this problem? I don’t even hate ants like that, but leave my living space alone, ya know?

What are the health benefits of Dry January? Is it worth it?
My girlfriend wants to do Dry January for 2025, and I'm totally in support - but she wants me to do it with her, and I'm not sure about it. It sounds hard and I'm not sure if the benefits will really be worth it. What are your experiences with Dry January? Did it help you cut back on drinking? Did it make you feel better? Should I do it just to make my gf happy?

How do I get rid of moths for good?
I noticed two moths in my closet last week. I killed them because I don’t want them chewing on my clothes, but now I’m noticing more and more moths in my bedroom and on my clothes. I have no idea if I have an infestation or what. I didn’t even know moths traveled in packs like that. How do I get rid of the moths in my house? Please help me out here.

Best ways to get blood out of clothes
So...it's *that* time of the month for me, but I noticed too late and got blood stains on my favorite pair of pants. It's still a fresh stain so I want to act real quick to make sure the stain doesn't set in and ruin my clothes. Are there any DIY solutions I could use? Any tips for getting dried blood out of clothes are also appreciated (just in case).
