Sunburn Relief in Half the Time

I learned this when I got a bad sunburn in Spain. Mix olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice from a fresh lemon in a small bowl. Mix well and gently apply to skin. The lemon numbs the pain and the olive oil moisturizes.

Cool, Dry and Great Smelling Feet

Save money by making your own replacement shoe insoles. Remove the insole from both shoes. Put together two sheets of SCOTT Shop Towels on a Roll, fold in half, crease and tape the sheets together. Trace one insole on the top sheet, cut out the shape from all the sheets and tape them together at the top. Sprinkle talcum powder, baby powder or foot powder on each sheet, then tape your newly made insole to the original insole. Repeat for the other foot. Carefully replace the insole in your shoes. My SCOTT insoles last about three wearings, but what a difference they have made for my tender feet. Making insoles is a good rainy day project and is so inexpensive!

Treat Mosquito Bites

Rubbing alcohol helps take the itch out of mosquito bites. Just put some on a cotton ball and rub the bite. Voila, no more itch! It works great and is very cost conservative too.

Preventing Salt Burns on Dogs

Before your dog goes outside in winter weather, smear petroleum jelly on his foot pads and in between the pads. It will safeguard your dog's feet from being burned by rock salt and ice developing on the hair between his pads.

Bug Repellant

I have skin reactions to insecticides, and bug repellant sprays and lotions, so I mix a small spray bottle with 1/2 water and 1/2 Avon Skin So Soft, and gently spray this on my arms and legs when I work in the yard. It smells good and keeps the bugs away.

Pop a Peppermint

There are oils in a peppermint plant that increase alertness by stimulation of your trigeminal nerve. So, if you feel tired, instead of a cup of coffee, pop a peppermint. It will make you feel cooler and more awake.
