Ladies, bikini season is upon us - well for some of us anyway. Guys, you can use this if you ever get a shaving rash on your face or neck.
If you get a shaving rash, razor burn, etc. puncture a vitamin E capsule (or if you have Vit E oil you can use it), squish out the contents of the capsule and mix with a little petroleum jelly. Then gently spread the mixture on the irritated skin.
I did a little research on the questions I asked all of you about the garlic, ginger and lemons. Here is what I found:
Storing garlic: The Food Network says to store garlic in a cool dry place, not in the refrigerator or freezer. Freezing garlic compromises its texture and taste.
Storing fresh ginger: The Food Network says that if you would like to keep the ginger for just a week or so, to just put it in a paper bag and store it in the vegetable crisper of your refrigerator.
And the Lemons - how could I forget the lemons? I loved the idea to juice them and put the juice in the ice trays to use later. My brain just isn't working so I can't remember off the top of my head whose idea it was. I will link to you this evening. :) Maybelline, it was Maybelline's idea. It is a great idea!
Please tell me...
