I use SweetLeaf in everything; baking cakes, cereal, coffee, tea, everything! I put it in a peach cake and was so good. It took 24 packets to add up to 1 cup of sugar. I always keep it on hand.

A foot bath made from mouthwash and vinegar.

Mouthwash and Vinegar Foot BathI have a bad habit of walking around the house barefoot, which cause my feet to have thick and rough skin. I've found that soaking them in a mixture of 1 cup of mouthwash (I used a 79 cent version), 1 cup of white vinegar, and warm/hot water in a basin for 20 minutes, then scrubbing them makes them super soft.

 

Soda Bottles To Deter Cabbage Moth - upside down soda bottle over young cabbage plant
