Try the Spoon Guru App . Simply scan foods labels and the app will alert you of any concerns based upon your (or your family member's) preset profile. (User must register for an account and create a profile, select allergens of concern and save.) Free. iOS and Android. Do you or does someone you know suffer from a peanut allergy ? A new consumer product called the Nima Peanut Sensor 1 (a handheld device + associated mobile app) might be of help. "Nima is recognized as a leader in allergen research and has been awarded a grant from the National Institute of Health to develop the peanut sensor." This is technology moving the needle in the right direction, a potentially life-saving one. Remember to read the small print at the product website. What about gluten ?

DIY Natural Home Deodorizers

Eliminate Household Odors Naturally
  1. If there's a bad smell lingering in your home -- did someone burn the popcorn? --- set a saucer dish of unused coffee grounds on the counter to absorb the fumes and help freshen the air. 
  2. Alternatively, you can create a natural room deodorizer by placing half of a empty orange peel --- makes a perfect Citrus Bowl [*see below] --- filled with table salt on your kitchen counter or your coffee table. The salt absorbs odors while the orange peel releases a citrus scent. Discard (or compost) once the bowl shrivels, should last roughly a week. The salt can be reused in a new bowl until its absorbency fades. (This is a similar principle to the Himalayan Salt Lamps which are currently all the rage.)
    *Make a Citrus Bowl: Slice an orange in half, remove the orange (fruit) from its peel leaving the bowl-shaped peel intact.
