Kill A Cold


Did you know that a teaspoon of honey (raw is best) and a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon will usually knock out a cold within a day or two? Take twice a day for 3 days for best results.


make up remover wipes

  4 cups warm water, 1-2 tablespoons Coconut Oil. (1-2 squirts of baby wash or your your favorite face wash if you want, but it's not necessary).    Cut a roll of paper towels in half, placing in container and soaking with 4 cups warm water and desired mixture (including coconut oil). The ingredients differ only slightly depending on what kind of wipes you're making.

DIY Ice Pack 

Instead of an ice pack, partially fill a strong zip lock bag with Dawn dishwashing detergent and freeze it. (I don't know if other brands would work just as well.)
Just to be safe, we double-bagged it!
The detergent stays cold much longer and it can be re-frozen over and over. It also molds to your back better than ice.

Teeth Whitening
