RE: Giving Yourself an Instant Facelift
I don't know as it is an instant face lift.......but you might try washing face with a cotton ball dipped in a bit of oil...and then touched in sugar crystals....wash your face gently with this.....very gently so as not to scratch.......

For a dewy soft look.....add a teasp of HONEY to your sink full of warm water....dip wash cloth in..wash with mix..and it will pull moisture to your face from the air.......

I like to wash my face with Red tea..Rooiboos tea....from South Africa.....it leaves my face soft and looking younger......

RE: Dandruff Remedies
In my exsperience true dandruff is a YEAST infection.....Vinegar is one treatment.....but probiotics.....acidopholus...(tea tree is pretty harsh) probiotics added to the rinse ought to kill it....other yeast infections are athletes foot and ring work.....so you see you are not going to be rid of it in one application.....Eating yogurt and acidopholus will help......also treating hair with coconut oil occasionally will help also....and it's very good for your hair....though you want to use it warmed it breaks to liquid at 75 degrees or so..Use sparingly or it will make your hair appear greasy...you can get it in cooking oil section of Walmart....and it is great for many moisture needs on your body....It will give you terrific nails if you rub it into them....also I use it with a few drops of tea tree oil to kill athletes foot...but tea tree is to harsh to use straight on your scalp..(it is more or less turpentine from the pau d' Arco tree)...You can even cook with coconut oil..and it is reputed to kill yeast in your body...cause if you have dandruff you probably have it in your whole system...bought this way....I believe the name is LUANNE...it is inexspensive and great for your needs....you might also use red tea...also found in Walmart to rinse dark hair in ......rouibous.....pronounced ray boos...is great for dark colored hair..... ...

RE: Daily Thrifty Tips - April 5, 2006
chairs.....with brass....try wiping brass down with rubbing alcohol......son works in a foundry and that is how they clean silver....etc....before they burnish it......the military uses a product called Brasso....for it's buttons etc. on Uniforms and belt buckles....it goes a long way.....

For showers and brass objects in bathroom.....brasso then car polish....wipe down with rag covered in car polish ....to keep showers clean and milldew free....wipe down with baby oil.....

RE: Caring for an Old Spinning Wheel
Lemon oil from walmart is in order to feed that thirsty wood.....it's cheap and cost effective....just the answer....pour into a painters pan....and paint it on with a paint brush......then wipe it down with a soft cloth.........I have a hundred year old trunk.....I spray down good with W D 40......then paint with lemon oil...as it is brass bound......that lemon oil is goooooood stuff........

RE: Changing Your Dogs Food
My dog was sick too.....and a beloved friend lost her baby over this illness .....it's not as mundane as vets seem to think......her Baby dog was a young dog too.....mine is ten...and he was miserable....we have been having water problems....sewage spills in North Idaho...and they don't tell us to boil...till someone discovers they have poisoned us one more time......I think that was what made us all so sick....Try boiling dog's water too.....

RE: Easing Stress
Someone once told me......"We are all right where our Higher Power WANTS us to be!" Don't sweat the small stuff....The small things will take care of themselves.....As for the big bad patches in the road....they have a way of taking care of themselves too...Don't let anyone(human) push you into any thing that is absolutely wrong for you....If it's your Higher Power doing the pushing ....Go with it...Cause He/She knows what's right....I've lived my life on these simple precepts....These and the sure knowlege that 80% of what we worry about NEVER happens any way....Blessings....

RE: Easing Stress
It's a proven fact that 80% of what we worry about never happens.....Worry is like rocking in a rocking chair...no matter how much you worry or how fast you rock.......you still aren't gonna get any where......
