Look what TikTok has me doing now. OMG, if you do not currently have the TikTok app downloaded on your phone, don't do it! I swear, there is a remedy for every single situation and it is super easy to go down the rabbit hole of TikTok videos. There are solutions to dang near all of your daily issues. So even though it looks like I am about to do some deep cleaning and drink about 5 cups of coffee,

Traveling this summer? Everybody loves relaxing on vacation, but one thing could easily ruin your experience, bed bugs.
