One of my friend in High School had the most beautiful complexion in the world.
I asked him what his secret was and he told me that he sleeps 8 hours a night.
What kind of secret is that? I said. That's a BS answer!
He told me that I didn't understand. He ALWAYS sleeps 8 hours a night. No matter what is going on the next day he always gets his 8 hours. No homework deadlines, no girl trouble, no worries about the SATs will ever stop him from sleeping those 8 hours.
Even if he has to choose between flunking a final and missing sleep, he would rather flunk the final. His grades were kind of average but he has beautiful complexion.
Considering that we spend most of our day that isn't sleeping at work, the importance of a positive and healthy work environment can't be over emphasized. Money isn't everything.
I have never flown with them personally, but I know several people that have. They highly recommended it to me when I was in Europe. The only reason I didn't use it is because they didn't fly anywhere I was going.
Adding just a tablespoon or so of apple cider vinegar into a shampoo bottle does wonders to hair. It gives new meaning to "squeaky clean!" Don't know how the science works, but my hair feels lighter and less weighed down, so maybe the acidity dissolves hair product buildup. Also, I swear it brings out brunette/reddish highlights in my dark hair.
For a super-quick and inexpensive acne treatment, I just put a dab of toothpaste on the spot before I go to bed. It dries it out and works wonders! For daytime, women can smear a bit of the clear gel kind on in a very thin layer, and then put on make-up over it.
I take my regular facial soap and add a little bit of baking soda... it is a really good scrub!--- Also, aloe vera makes a wonderful hair gel... I have curly hair... so, I mix it with a little bit of hair wax,-- its awesome!
I have had oily hair since I was little and since it gets oilier the more I wash it I have to be careful. After a period of time I get product build-up in my hair. My grandma's solution, a 3/1 mix of water & white vinegar in the shower before I wash my hair. The solution is stinky, but does a great job of cleaning the hair fibers. Mix up at least a half gallon for long hair and let it just flow through. The shampoo afterwards will remove any odor and your hair will be full of body for several days. I do this about every other month.
If you put 1/2 cup of baking soda in your bath water it softens the water, reduces the amount of soap and shampoo you use and leaves your skin and hair super soft. I also use Olive oil on the ends of my hair. I put it on dry hair and let it sit for an hour and then rinse and wash as I normally would. I also use lanolin for my lips and elbows. Lanolin is what you use when you are breastfeeding and it's safe and non toxic. It comes from the wool of sheep and is what makes sheep water resistant. Anyways, these are all natural. Cheap Cheap Cheap and works better than most of the expensive products you buy at the store.
For shaving...soap and water, but that's not what you are after.
Exfoliator...I have a friend that grows her own sponges. They look like huge cucumbers that she just peels and leaves them out to dry out. These things last forever and are great for your skin and here is another tip I have used them to wash my dishes as well. A 2-in-1.
Soft feet...Try using your child's baby oil on them to soak in water. Once you are pruned take your feet out, apply more oil and slide on the soaks. I'm the type of person that walks barefoot everywhere so I need something to do it. Baby oil may also be used to take off dandruff/cradle cap. I needed it for my little guy and applied it to his 10 year old brother's head and he no longer has the dandruff.
The best make-up remover I've found is baby oil. Yup, simple cheap baby oil. You dab a little bit on a cotton ball, rub that across your eyes, and even the most stubborn water-proof mascara comes right off. It even moisturizes!
You can use those cheap hair condistioners (Suave, V05) as a wonderful shave cream. It's more moisturizing than foam or soap, lasts a long time and cost about $1.00.
I found if the diameter of the dent is small but the depth of the dent is deep this method will not work as the metal has been too badly misshapen.
This method works fine on a simple depression dent or the types of dents you could normally push out by hand if you had access to the other side of the dented panel.
I've been told the dry ice method would work better than method #2 on the more stubborn or deeper and smaller diameter type dents, but even the dry ice has it's limits.
What a lucky coincidence to see this contest of yours. Actually, in all honesty, the kit wouldn't be for me. It would be for my dear little Syl who just a few days back slathered our faces with a mixture of honey + aspirin. I'm not going to lie. It worked and did exactly as we both expected - made our faces super smooth and soft. I'm not too keen on the idea of applying acid to my face again so the Burt's Bees kit would be a much welcomed prize.
I know exfoliation has already been represented, but I have another cheap exfoliation tip. I use a pot scrubber on my arms and legs. Just a regular round plastic mesh pot scrubber. Now this is for serious exfoliators! It's kind of harsh but it feels so good and those brightly colored round mesh scrubbers are usually a dollar for two, they last forever, and if you are a shaver, you will find that scrubbing your legs with one just prior to shaving lengthens the lifespan of your razor AND makes your legs smooth and shiny.
PS. I am addicted to Burt's Bees lip balm-the one in the tin & my sis has used their baby products on both her kids & they smell even better than babies. If that is possible.
My request is for "Cars" DVD and it isn't entirely for the children I'm sorry to say. First, I'm a mother to four children and life gets busy, sometimes too busy, sometimes it becomes extremely messy. In fact, I might as well make a confession.
Ready for the confession? I'm in love with Mater, yep I love that little truck. I watched the movie twice before it disappeared from my sight, it quickly ran ... yes I do mean the video, up those stairs and from my understanding he's been playing with the kids. The kids mind you like to play frisbee and hide-n-seek so it shouldn't be such as surprise when I tell you, he's missing.
So, now I went out and bought myself that little stuffed car, just to hear his little voice and funny things he says and does. I can barely remember the movie now, so instead I push his buttons. But sadly I think I'm wearing him down as he only likes to grumble and moan.
So, I'm coming to you and begging you please, please, please send me, that little truck back my way. My thumbs is out and all.
I tried the compressed can of air method to no avail. Possibly the ambient temperature is not high enough (65F), or the dent is to big, or possibly there is a crease that I do not see. I'll wait until the dog days of summer to try again maybe.
Is it ok to use this tonic for my yard?
I have a private company called Top Turf(Lawn Manangement Company) treating my yard every other month with fertilizer, lime, weed control and so on.
I'm in Georgia. So appling in high heat won't be a problem.
adding a capful of bleach to a bucket of water as a foot soak is the best thing ever for whitening nails and getting rid of warts (gross)
Paul,
This is a great freebie. I'll be sure to pass it on to everyone I know who wear contact lenses. Thanks again for the link.

Keep 'em coming! Love to hear this kind of stuff!

Slice up a cucumber and place them on areas that are puffy..eyes,cheeks, etc. They have mild astringent properties and will help these areas.

Put used tea bags in the freezer and the next time you have puffy eyes place a tea bag over them. It's very soothing.

I'd like to share my post about my cheap & simple at-home microdermabrasion.

...on your first motorcycle ride! How about a life metaphor for "keep the rubber side down?" :)
I'm certainly guilty of finding reasons why I can't get something done.
