1. Use a multiple-outlet adapter

Skip power strips in the kitchen; they squander precious counter space. Wrangle countertop appliance cords with a multiple-outlet adapter, which sits up on the wall and fits three plugs.

Tip: When charging two gadgets at the same time, plug them into the opposite ends of a multiple-outlet adapter. This will accommodate clunky transformer plugs without covering up additional sockets.

2. Solve bulky charger problems with a flexible outlet adapter

Cell phone and camera chargers often have bulky heads that take up extra room on a power strip. Plug them into a flexible outlet adapter, a power strip with multiple loose arms that can more easily hold oversized plugs.

3. Hide excess cordage in a cord organizer

A snarl of long cords sitting on the floor is unsightly (and, if you have a tug-happy toddler, it can be dangerous). Wrap excess cordage around the center of an organizer disc, a rubber spool that pops shut into a tidy little package.

4. Use color-coded cable IDs for easy identification

When using power strips, it’s easy to confuse which plug belongs to which appliance. A simple system: Use sturdy electrical tape in assorted colors or colored cable ID labels to tag the top and bottom of each cord with the same color.

5. Consolidate cords with a cable zipper

Streamline your work space with a cable zipper, a flexible plastic sleeve that’s slit lengthwise so you can gather the wires running from your desk to the floor in it in one neat bundle.

Tip: To determine the length of tube needed for a desktop, measure from the outlet to the farthest component on the desk; for entertainment systems, measure from the outlet up to the top component.

I am lucky I don’t go to that ordeal of having a migraine. But since an ounce of protection is better than cure, I would rather spend on things that will prevent molds from growing inside the house (which will cause migraine attacks) than spending on migraine treatment in the future.

Our drinking water may be clean if we look at it with our bare eyes. What we can’t see are microorganisms that contaminate the water and may cause waterborne diseases. To be safe, we need water filter pitchers to purify our drinking water. Hence, water filter pitcher is a must in every household. It’s better be safe than sorry.
