For an insect sting, a small mixture of vinegar and tabbacco from a cigarette will ease itching and swelling

finally. a REAL reason to buy cigarettes

i'm from florida and that will come in handy... every day. sitting outside when my grandmother is smoking attracts mosquitos.

Try just buying loose tobacco. You can keep it in storage, and then you don't have to worry about the tar and chemicals in commercial cigarettes. :3

I know this is an old post, but I wanted to add a few additional uses.

Baking soda and vinegar:

- clean urine and neutralize odor on most beds/upholstery (check for compatibility with specific fabrics) - soak up urine with slightly damp cloth to absorb excess liquid. Air dry for about twenty minutes, then generously sprinkle baking powder over the stain. Once it's dry vacuum it up. Spritz with a spray bottle of half vinegar and water (you can add essential oil or a tiny bit of dish soap to make it smell better) to absorb and neutralize the smell.

- clean wood/wood grain surfaces like older cabinets or furniture, safe for paint (but I'd advise testing in an inconspicuous place just to be sure) - for regular cleaning, a solution of half vinegar and water with added essential oil or dish soap works well, along with a soft cloth or sponge. For tougher stains, thicker baking soda paste made with water works miracles.

Vinegar:

- clean your washing machine by running a cycle through with just hot water and a cup of vinegar.

- pour vinegar alongside laundry detergent directly into the washer for darker colored clothes that are heavily stained. Can be pre-treated. Works well for oil/grease related stains

- mix with equal parts water in a spray bottle. You can add essential oils or small amounts of soap for fragrance. Works well as a room/air freshener, especially to remove smoke/pet smells.

Has anybody here tried using a Himalayan salt lamp for purifying their aura? It has been acclaimed by scientists and pagan world experts both.Did you know that the towering icy peaks of the Himalayas actually contain traces of the original, primal seas dating back to 100-200 million years?

Claimed by many as the “purest salt” available to humankind, the Himalayan sea salt could be the dried up remnant of these seas that existed during earth’s creation.



The Himalayan sea salt has a characteristic pink hue which is believed to be lent by a common pink microorganism that inhabited the seas millions of years ago.

Intrigued...arent you?

I know this is an old post, but I do this too! Although I add a squeeze of lemon or some lavender flowers from our shrub instead of essential oils.
