Containers aid kitchen cleanup
The fun and energy that
fill your home after entertain-
ing friends can vanish as soon
as it’s time to clean the
kitchen.
Finding containers to
store food, finding lids for
each container and rearrang-
ing the refrigerator are tedi-
ous tasks, taking up time that
could be better spent reflect-
ing on the night’s festivities.

A BOMB TREAT was received at Illinois Valley High
School shortly after 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 5, forcing
evacuation of approximately 500 students and staff
into the fog and damp outside. Illinois Valley Fire Dis-
trict (IVFD) and Josephine County Sheriff’s Office re-
sponded. East RIver Street was blocked to traffic. Per-
sharing food is a snap -- liter-
ally. The plates snap together
with interlocking rims that
form a storage container.
Every plate is a lid, and every
lid is a plate.
To send leftovers home
with guests, simply cover the
plate with another plate.
Guests can take their food
home without worrying about
spills, and hosts can share
leftovers without losing stor-
age containers.

How to relieve stress?
Here are some suggestions:
*Drink plenty of water.
Because dehydration can
make you tired, carry a water
bottle and sip the water
throughout the day. Also,
limit coffee and alcohol in-
take. They can induce dehy-
dration.
*Get enough sleep.
Sleep at least eight hours a
night. By being well-rested,
you’ll have more energy to
achieve a productive day.
*Don’t turn to sweets
for energy. Candy is only a
quick fix that will cause your
energy level to crash and
burn. Instead, eat healthy
snacks throughout the day,
like fruits and vegetables.
*Ask family members
for help. Preparing for holi-
days with the family will
help reduce some strain.
*Take an all-natural
supplement. Including a sup-
plement in your diet will
help you get the nutrients
your body needs to function
at its best. For example, Vital
StressX contains a unique
combination of seven herbs,
called adaptogens, that help
your body regulate cortisol,
the “stress hormone.”
*Focus on progress, not
perfection. Instead of stress-
ing over holding a flawless
dinner party or finding im-
maculate gifts, remembering
that what really counts is the
time you spend cherishing
your family and friends.
