How to Remove Scratches from Sunglasses

How to Remove Scratches from Sunglasses
Several months after I got really into cycling last year, my friend and cycling guru gave me a fantastic pair of cycling sunglasses.

Over time, they became scratched, and I thought I’d need to replace them. Unfortunately, the brand name had worn off, and I couldn’t find any sunglasses like them when I researched online. However, I was able to piece together some guidance on taking the scratches off my sunglasses, and now they look almost like new.…

5 Splurge Items for Your Home Emergency Kit

You'll find tons of information on the internet about items you should keep in a basic home emergency kit, but here are some items that probably aren't on those other lists.

Our home was heavily damaged by a tornado several years ago, and it’s not an experience we’re likely to forget.

Fortunately, a few things worked in our favor. We live in a densely populated area, and our electricity was restored in a miraculously short amount of time – less than 24 hours.

How to Replace Your Honda Key Fob Battery CR-V, Civic, Accord, Etc.

When the battery in your Honda's smart entry key starts to run low on juice, you'll see a blinking battery light on your dash, near the odometer. Here's how to replace the battery on your own.

The smart entry key for my Honda CR-V really is smart. It automatically unlocks the door to my CR-V when I lift my hand near the door. There’s no actual key to start the motor – I press a button while my foot is on the brake pedal.

This type of key fob is common on popular 2015-2019 Honda models such as CR-V, Civic and Accord.…
