I figured you all may want to be entertained a bit these days instead of talking about the negative press and the good old economy...here are some great tips to save $$ with items you probably never thought of... sorry if some of them are rather gross!
Pet ear mites-Eliminate them by massaging a few drops of Corn Oil in your cat's or dog's ear...then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the skin, smothers the mites, and accelerates healing.
Got fleas? Dishwashing Liquid does the trick. Add a few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. Good-bye fleas.
Stinky wet pets? Next time your dog comes in from the rain, simply wipe down the animal with a dryer sheet, instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh.
Headache? Did you know that drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost immediately-without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional pain relievers?
Burns-Mint Toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns.
Stuffy nose? Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles.
Sore throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.
Skin blemishes? Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and speeds healing.
Toenail fungus cooties? Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine Mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.
Eyeglass protection... to prevent the screws in eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Clear Nail Polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.
Bug killer... if menacing bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground instantly.
Smart splinter remover: Just pour a drop of Glue(elmer’s is fine) over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.
Balm for broken blisters... to disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops of Listerine, a powerful antiseptic.
Got bruises?... soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds up the healing process.
Pain relief... Mix 2 cups of oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your hands for soothing relief from arthritis pain.
Please note: These tips are not from my own trial and error BUT the following ones are from my deal friend Shannon Sodano...I'm sure you recall I've mentioned her before, and she sells excellent Arbonne ( check out her website at www.sksodano.myarbonne.com) products and is very into wellness and green living, so here are her own household cure-alls...
INSOMNIA: Rub cold-pressed sesame oil into souls of the feet for five minutes.
