A little ‘I recommend’

Standard

Not having the best 12 hours-I was sitting here around 10:45 last night and a huge piece of my tooth on the top right broke off. I think it started breaking off at dinner, as I felt something sharp in my mouth. It doesn’t hurt as it had a root canal done on it, but it’s a bit annoying and I have to eat all on the left side. I called and left a message at the office last night, hoping I’d have first dibs on the Monday appointments. Crossing fingers.

My ‘I recommend’ is to try home remedies for simple cures. Yesterday my eyes were puffy and I remembered reading about teabags helping reduce that. I got my used teabag out of the kitchen and kept changing it from eye to eye for about 15 minutes. Lo and behold, it helped! I use zinc oxide on the slight eczema caused by the nose piece on my glasses. Vaseline is good for taking off make-up. A tiny dab up each nostril helps in the wintertime (I use to get terrible nosebleeds when I was little). If my tummy is off, I chew an acidolphilus tablet or eat the Activa yogurt to build up the good bacteria there.

Dr. Phil’s wife Robin was on Rachael Ray and puts eggs whites on her face to tighten it up-eek-but if it works!
Do you have any you swear by?

Could you keep my mom in your thoughts as she sounds like she is getting a doozie of a cold. She just got up to make herself breakfast and her friend is coming over, but her being by herself makes me nervous.

We didn’t get any snow, just some sleet. It’s warming up a bit to the higher 30s today. According to my Farmer’s Almanac calendar, last night was the Full Wolf Moon, it was too overcast here to see.
Here’s an ATC I made yesterday:

  1. Sorry to hear about your tooth – hopefully they can get it fixed up for you tomorrow morning!

    I love, love, love all kinds of tips and hints and stuff. My grandmother used to get a calendar, and on the backs of some of the pages and the calendar, there were all kinds of neat little tips and tricks. I used to love reading them, and I still do. (I love Woman’s World magazine – it’s usually loaded with that stuff)

    One of my favorites is using a little baking soda with your regular face cleanser to turn it into a gentle scrub. Also works well with shampoo for getting excess product out of your hair (I like doing this after I’ve had my hair done for a special occasion like a wedding – it’s usually loaded with hairspray!)

    I roll – NEVER shake – my nail polishes. Shaking incorporates air and makes the polish thick.

  2. Ah, the egg white mask. . . when I was a teenager I did it all the time. I would beat the whites to a froth, slather it on my face and let it dry. It would feel tighter and tighter as it dried. Then you just wash it off with warm water. I haven’t done it in years.

    Now Vaseline it the one product that I simply could NOT live without! I use it every morning on my feet when I step out of the shower, on my elbows and as you said, to remove mascara. It’s also great to rub into the cuticles during the winter months. I also use it for lip gloss on top of lipstick. I love the stuff! I wish I owned stock in it!

  3. I needed to present this particular posting, “A little I recommend Collages
    & Creative Goodness” with my own buddies on facebook itself.
