Tip # 1

Use Noxzema for relief of sunburn

Many people don't know that Nexzema is fantastic for taking away the stinging and pain of sunburn. I have used it since I was a child and now my children use it when they get sunburned.  It takes the heat away and makes them more comfortable incase of a sunburn.  But your best defense of course is to always wear sunscreen and apply it as needed.

Tips and Tricks from a mexican kitchen

When we think about Mexico, our south-of-the-border neighbors, more should come to our minds than simply margaritas and white sand and sunny beaches.

We should also be thinking about the magic of the Mexican kitchen: a place where resources are carefully preserved, nutrition is a key component of almost all food-operations, and families gather lovingly to enjoy warm conversation at mealtimes.     CLICK HERE FOR MORE

  
 
Tip #2
Cleaning your microwave
Have you ever tried to reheat  food in your microwave and been horrified at the mess you found?  Looks like food exploded all over the place?  Well, here is an easy fix.  Get a microwave safe cooking dish and add water.  Set your microwave on 5 minutes, depending on your microwave you may need to do more.  Cook the water until is boils and steams up the microwave.  Get a dish towel and wipe clean.  Then get another clean towel with soap and water and wipe it down to remove any smells.  Quick and easy and no chemicals!  Just the way we like it!
 
 
 
Trick #2
Removing Marker or Crayon
Have marker on your wall or other hard surface? When both my kids were small, they would get those pens and markers and always get to the walls, after using this remedy, I don't worry about it anymore. Use toothpaste!!!! Use white toothpaste (not the gel type) put some on your stain and in a circular motion rub it, and it will come off!!! It won't harm walls or other surfaces and it keeps everything smelling clean!!! Also works in the bathroom on stains on your surfaces by the sink.


 
     
 
Tip #3
Buy Gas During The Week
During the week, gas is cheaper to buy than on the weekend. And with the high prices of gas, we need to save anyway we can.

 

Check for Gas Prices in your Neighborhood

 








 

  
 
Trick #3
Smelly Hands?
After chopping onions or garlic, the smell gets on your hands and just won't leave no matter how much you wash it.  A quick remedy to this: wet your hands and get used coffee grounds, put some in your hands and rub it all over your hands and then wash! 

The smell is gone!
