A GON Reader Asked:

Hi Maria!

I absolutely love your newsletter and website. The variety of advice you provide is outstanding!

My question to you today is, with summer close upon us, could you kindly share some ideas and tips about summer safety and especially preparing a First Aid kit please?

Thank you!

A lifelong reader, today and always!

Sue Geo

Maria Gracia Responded:

Hi Sue,

Thank you so very much for your lovely note! Regarding your question, YES, absolutely. Let's begin with a First Aid Kit. Everyone should have one at home AND in each vehicle. If you don't want to make your own, there are inexpensive First Aid Kits you can purchase online that include the essentials.

Otherwise, put one together yourself. An inexpensive (large) makeup bag, fanny pack or fishing tackle box is perfect for this purpose. Use one that's water- resistant. Group like-items with re-sealable sandwich bags. Some folks have very elaborate kits. Mine is more basic. Here's what it includes:

Ace Bandage (Velcro Closure)

Aloe

Antibiotic Ointment

Antiseptic pads/Alcohol Wipes

Band-Aids (Assorted Sizes)

Bottles of drinking water (We don't keep these in the kit, but rather readily available at home and in each vehicle.)

Calamine Lotion

Cotton Balls

Cold Packs (No pre-chilling required)

CPR mask with one-way valve

First Aid Manual (Although I also have a first aid app on my phone)

Flashlight and Extra Batteries

Hand Sanitizer

Hydrocortisone Cream (1%)

Insect Repellent

Medical Tape

Q-tips

Paper and pencil

Scissors

Splinting Material

Sterile Gauze Roll and Pads

Sterile Gloves (Vinyl or Plastic)

Sunburn Relief Lotion

Sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)

Thermometer

Tweezers

OTC Meds: Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, Benadryl, Tums (check often to ensure they're not expired

Regarding your second question about summer safety tips, you gave me a great idea. I'm going to focus on summer safety tips for the entire week ahead, a tip or two a day. So stay tuned!

To fast-forward to the Garage Sale Toolkit, visit:

getorganizednow.com/garage-sale-toolkit.html

Garage sales are a WONDERFUL way to get rid of your clutter and spring/summer is the perfect time to host one! If you've hosted a sale before, you probably already know it's no fun planning and setting up for a garage sale, just to find out you have only a few customers throughout your day, little more than your starting cash, and a whole lot of your stuff at the end of your sale.

If you've been frustrated with the work and energy you put into your garage sales...with little profit to show for it when you're done...the Get Organized Now! Garage Sale Tool Kit is for you!

Here's what just one customer had to say...

'Garage sales were a big pain, and we hardly made any money for all our time and effort. Now I realize I just didn't know how to plan them very well. Your tool kit showed me the easy ways to organize my garage sales and exactly how to make good money each time -- just by doing it right!' (Jessica R., Powhattan, VA)

Don't settle for average results and minimum pay back. Give yourself the best chance for maximum results. You won't be disappointed.
