    I personally hate that feeling of talking on the phone for hours only to get that irritating “hot ear” feeling after. I make a point of saving my long conversations for when I’m in private and can put people (my momma and sister) on speaker. 

    I REALLy need to cut out some of my cleaning products and start with that baking soda, lemon and salt!

    Wow! This was extremely helpful! I had no idea about the microwave or hair dryers. I’m not sleeping with the cell phone in my bed anymore!

      my thoughts exactly. I only get my hair done at the salon 5 or 6 times a year and airdry (for the most part) at home. However, I am guilty of charging my cellphone on the bed & sleeping with it…smh
