Dollar Tree is a tempting place for deals, but experts caution against buying ten items there. Electronics like headphones and chargers have a short lifespan. Spray bottles and cleaning supply nozzles tend to break quickly. Utensils, batteries, and crayons are also of low quality. Plastic kitchen tools might be useful for one-time use but not for durability. Canned goods aren’t always cheaper at Dollar Tree. Hair and skin care products lack quality ingredients. Gum packaging can be deceiving, with smaller portions than they appear. To avoid disappointment, focus on quality items at other stores for electronics, utensils, batteries, crayons, kitchen tools, canned food, beauty products, and gum.
If you see a man with one painted fingernail, here’s what it means
When Elliot Costello and a group of other people visited Cambodia, he had an encounter with a young girl named Thea.
Little did Elliot know that this encounter would have an impact so profound on him that it would help start a movement whose goal is to end sexual abuse against children.
Namely, Thea always had nail polish on her tiny nails. One day, as she and Elliot chatted, she asked to paint one of his nails. He agreed and was happy to speak to the chatty girl, but he then learned that she was once a victim of sexual abuse.
“As she painted one of my nails, I assured her I would always keep it that way to remember her, and by extension, her suffering,” Elliot said.
This motivated Elliot to try and make positive change among men so that less and less children fall victims of sexual abuse.
That is when he came up with the movement called #PolishedMan where men put nail polish on one of their nails. That one nail represents the one in five children who will be victims of sexual violence.
Polished Man works towards ending sexual violence against children. According to the organization, “being a Polished Man means challenging violent behavior and language, both locally and globally.”
Elliot believes that since men are responsible for 96% of this type of violence against children globally, they should be catalyst for change if we are ever to see an end to the abuse of innocent children.
The goal with the painted nail isn’t just to remind people of the number of children who are abused every single day, but to serve as a conversation starter about this reality, leading to new ideas about prevention. He also hopes that people will start donating to “support educational programs and resources for child survivors of abuse,” as per APlus.
We hope that more men, including celebrities
