A stair lift rental is a great option when you are confined to one floor of your home. However, there are features of this option one must consider. How you respond to these questions can help you further determine if renting is for you.

Are you planning for short term usage?
Are you using renting as a financing option?
Is your stairway suitable for renting?

Stair lift rentals are intended for short term use.
There really are only a couple of times that a rental makes sense. First is if you or a loved one are confined to a wheelchair or to not using stairs for a limited time. Examples of this might be that you have a broken leg or have had hip replacement surgery. The other is if a relative or friend is coming to visit for more than a couple of days or weeks. Both are short term and ideal for renting the proper equipment.

Rent payments may add up more than financing.
If you believe that you may need the stairlift for longer than a few months then you may need to work with the sales department of your chosen lift company for other financing options. Typical payments on renting are around $100 or greater plus additional up front fees. With that payment you could have a $3000 lift paid off in slightly over 2 years at 5% interest. Rentals are not meant to be paid off so why continue paying on something you won't return for some time? Also loans, credit cards, and other forms of funding may bring a lower payment therefore helping with your budget.

Rentals are primarily for straight stairwells.
Due to the complexity and variety of stairwells straight stairlifts are the easiest for companies to rent. If your staircase is curved, meaning a straight run with no landings or curvature, you may have difficulty finding a rental stair lift. Renting two lifts is a possibility if your stairs are straight with a landing in between but then you may be looking at higher payments.

Another item to consider is that most rented stair lifts are used. These should be checked out by the company you have hired prior to and after installation.

These are great devices to have in your home for lifting you or your loved one from floor to floor. As long as you are planning for short term usage and have straight stairs then renting could be a very attractive option for you.

Skin Care With Vinegar? It Could Be The Miracle You’ve Been Looking For

By: Gloria Mactaggart

One of the great things about a woman’s bathroom is the smell - soaps, shower gels, bubble bath, as long as you don’t go too heavy on the hair spray or perfume, everything smells clean and fresh. Why, then, would someone want to use vinegar as a skin care product? Believe it or not, vinegar deserves a place of honor on your natural skin care shelves. Find out what it can do for you, and how to make it smell good.

Vinegar - your best choice is unfiltered apple cider vinegar, also known simply as cider vinegar - contains beta-carotene, pectin, a wide range of vitamins and several minerals vital to good health and healthy skin.

It’s a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals, stimulates circulation in small capillaries, helps eliminate waste, and protects against fungal and bacterial infection. It also irrigates the skin, dissolves excess fat deposits near or on the surface, balances oily skin and restores the skin’s natural pH.

Vinegar is also great for acne: It not only clears up a breakout, it can even reduce acne scarring. And it’s great for lightening age spots or other discoloration.

Mixing apple cider vinegar with an equal part of clean water - if you need skin care products designed for sensitive skin, start with one part vinegar and five parts water - also shrinks the pores, reduces shiny patches, and gives you an overall healthy glow.

Adding vitamin C crystals increases the antioxidant content and offers even more protection.

How do you get rid of the smell? Believe it or not, the smell dissipates within a few minutes but, to be sure, add a few drops of essential oils. Lavender, rosemary, rose, and elder flower are among the most common. These oils also have their own skin care benefits. Lavender is a soothing, antiseptic anti-inflammatory excellent for psoriasis, acne and sunburn. Rosemary is also antiseptic, and relaxes both the nerves and muscles. Rose stimulates circulation and purifies, and elder flower, high in vitamin C, is a mild astringent that also softens the skin. However, all the oils should be used in moderation.

After you’ve cleansed, toned, stimulated, softened and purified your skin with apple cider vinegar and essential oils, don’t forget to apply a shielding lotion. The fastest way to ruin a good skin care treatment is pollution. Environmental chemicals and toxins break down the protective layer of the skin, produce free radicals, and cause dry skin, eczema and aging. A good shielding lotion bonds with the skin’s outer layer to keep out chemicals.

Give apple cider vinegar a try. It could be just the skin care product you need to get that healthy glow. And don’t forget the shielding lotion.
