Potato Fridge Deoderizer

Alright  Its a potato .

Well instead of using baking soda to deodorize your fridge

Use a Cut Potato !

I always forget my baking soda in the fridge. I find it in one hard clump that's been there 

who knows how long after it should be, hidden in the condiment shelf.

Well no more !!

Use half of a leftover potato & just set it in your fridge!

The potato will soak up  the smell in your fridge , turning it dark.

When the potato has turned, just cut off a slice from the end.

Then just place the new potato end into the fridge again

Remember to keep it fresh cut off end slice every other day or so 

place it in a visual spot  so you don't forget  

If someone asks what the heck is that ! 

Tell them its my fridge potato!

Remember that a clean fridge is a happy fridge.

Saving Face Product Detox

Well we all have crazy products with who knows what in it, right?

I'm so tired of purchasing products for my face that over dry my skin or clog up my pores.

My bathroom counter was littered with products for this & that & I don't even like most of them.

The products I do like are not as good as they seem after my facial product detox.

We all know about whole foods & getting back to the basics,

 well my product detox is like changing out for whole foods.

Here is an uber basic face care tip.

 Ok well for a general toner /astringent always use Witch Hazel,

 Just squirt a little on a cotton ball & rub on face as normal.

For dryer skin add a little olive oil to the same cotton ball with Witch Hazel.

For Acne prone skin use a wet rag with some apple cider vinegar.

now vinegar has some fumes that will burn your eyes if you use a lot

so baby step up your usage until you find a comfortable amount.

OK your awake now!

Well you can also add some Olive oil to your vinegar rag & rub again for added moisture you'll need.

I usually use vinegar & water for astringent/ face wash.

Then i use the Witch Hazel & olive oil together & my skin is soft & hydrated all day.

You can use this as often as you need

Always try not to use soap  soap will strip your skin.Use soap sparingly.

Fabric Softener Tip

'

OK well for fabric softener i just squeeze a sponge & throw it in the dryer.

Easy!!

To mix I use a regular liquid fabric softener.

1 part liquid softener 

3 parts water 

I just put in a cap full of softener in container

then while washer is filling up, fill 3 cap fulls 

toss moist sponge in dryer & this mixture stretches pennies 

The container I'm using is an old dish washing pack dispenser

it has a nice re closeable lid & perfect size for sponges, 

so I'm reusing something that would normally become trash!

Just collect the sponges from dried clothes when done & place them back in tub.

no more wasteful drier sheets stuck to everything!

Yes!! its a Jump Rope :)

Yes It's a Jump rope 

Well do you have a tight schedule?

You do if you have children,

 & if you have kids you probably have jump ropes somewhere

well my challenge is to jump rope during one commercial block a day 

yes  just one 

try it 

its easy & fun 

Your getting oodles of cardio

  & working out the largest muscle group in your body.

Add jump roping to your routine & see what it does for you.

If you haven't used a Jump rope in a long time 

(like most of us)

you will realize it.

Don't worry you'll get it !!!

Get outside & play with your kids 

NOW !!

are you still here ??

GO !

Do you want your youthful body back or not ?

Act like a kid then!

If you want it be it
