- Rubbing vix vapor rub on the bottom of my children's feet and then putting socks on them at bedtime helps my kids not to cough at night. (When they are sick with coughs)
- Just today I cut up a serrano chili pepper and then washed my hands thinking all the remnants were gone, then I rubbed my eye, OUCH! Those chilis would not come off my skin no matter how many times I washed. So I googled what to do and found from a blog that "washing" your hands with olive oil will get the chilis off your skin. Thank you fellow blogger! Now I can take my contact lenses out tonight!
- If you have a mosquito bite and don't have any calamine around to put on it and it's itching like crazy you can make a paste with a little baking soda and water and apply to the itchy area and it will stop! Love it.
