Products with a lifetime warranty you only need to buy once

Most brands will accept returns of products if they're defective, but offering a comprehensive lifetime guarantee is not something all companies do. Luckily, there are some brands that swear by their products, so much so that they will attest to their quality for the lifetime of the product. This means that consumers can return their products to be repaired or replaced, often years after purchase. It's worth mentioning, however, that exemptions usually apply to these lifetime warranties, including normal wear and tear as well as accidental damage, to name a few. In this gallery, you'll find a list of brands that offer a lifetime warranty on their products. Click on and find out which items you'll only ever have to buy once!

A wedding is supposed to be a celebration. However, even a small wedding can end up turning into a production once family arguments and logistical nightmares are thrown into the mix.

These Insanely Helpful Garden Plants Keep the Mosquitoes Away

Say goodbye to the outdoor pests. Bugs come with the territory when you’re outdoors, but some are more tolerable than others. If it feels like mosquitoes are invading your yard, it’s understandable to want to do what you can to get rid of them. Enter mosquito repellent plants. Here’s the thing: Experts say that the best way to keep mosquitoes at bay is to use personal repellents recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But if you want to go a more natural route, you may be interested in selecting certain plants—they’re just not necessarily guaranteed to work as well as a spray. “The idea that planting certain plants around your home will successfully repel mosquitoes is only supported by anecdotal evidence and not empirical evidence,” says Eva Buckner, Ph.D., assistant professor and state extension specialist at the University of Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory. It’s important to note, though, that there is some evidence that certain plants may help discourage certain mosquitoes from setting up camp in your yard—they just don’t work as well as a chemical or spray. If it feels like your outdoor space is a haven to mosquitoes, it’s a good idea to “eliminate mosquito breeding grounds on and around your property by draining standing water from flowerpots, birdbaths, grill covers, baby pools, and other sources,” says Jim Fredericks, Ph.D., board-certified entomologist and senior vice president of public affairs at the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Using a small fan outside may also help keep mosquitoes away since “they are not strong flyers,” Fredericks says. But if you like the look and smell of certain plants and want to see if they keep the mosquitoes away, too, there’s no reason not to try them. These are the plants fans swear are most likely to help get rid of mosquitoes. Snap up one or a few to enhance your outdoor space.

Things your parents were totally right about

Those responsible for us when we are children are usually the first people to give us advice. They're often—though not always—our parents. Growing up, we all listened to our parents tell us to "do this" or "don't do that", constantly warning us to be careful with such and such things; and when we challenged them, we'd most likely get an answer like "you'll understand when you're older," or something along those lines. It turns out, our parents were actually right about a lot of stuff! Perhaps even more than we care to admit. Click through the gallery and see if you agree.

Where to travel based on your personality type

The Myers-Briggs personality test has been used for many years to assess people's personalities. It assesses different preferences to determine key aspects of our personality, and its results are often quite accurate. People look for different things when they travel, and these things are often influenced by their attitudes and actions in life. These influence the way they perceive the world and what they enjoy doing during a trip. An introverted person will most likely have a different approach to traveling when compared to an extroverted one, for instance. With this in mind, we've compiled a number of destinations specifically tailored for each Myers-Briggs result. If you haven't taken the test, do so to find the perfect travel destination for your bucket list! Click through the gallery and get to know the best destinations based on your personality type.
