Hidden Trackers

Eyewear Care
Next, have you ever struggled with a loose screw on your glasses and wondered about the best quick fix? Alen from Stack Optical covered practical DIY eyewear repairs, which could save you a trip to the optician. Did you know a simple wooden toothpick could be your best friend in a pinch, and what should you absolutely avoid using that might cause permanent damage to your eyewear?

The Cost of Hanging on Too Long
Finally, are you feeling overwhelmed by the clutter accumulating in your home? They discussed the art of spring cleaning and why it might be time to reevaluate what we hold onto.
