Guest guest Posted December 23, 1999 Report Share Posted December 23, 1999 Had just wanted to thank whomever it was that suggested we share some of our tips, have seen a couple besides mine and think I will try them, also had a few questions re: the tip I gave, sorry if I wasn't specific enough, you soak the candles immersed in regular table salt, have never measured any of the times I have done this, just sprinkled it in a bowl of tap water. I believe if memory served me right, perhaps you are supposed to do this (the soaking) for at least an hour, I always forget and mine stay soaking from anywhere to several hours to a whole day, then I just wipe them off with a dry towel and let them sit for a couple of hours before use, this gives the wick a chance to dry throughly. Looking forward to seeing others share their neat tips. I had orginally heard this tip on television,and wish I could remember where, cause I would love to properly give credit where credit is due. Have a Safe and Happy Holiday season. Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2000 Report Share Posted April 23, 2000 Thanks for the tips. I was watching Donnie and Marie the other day and they were showing beauty tips. I learned that you can put toothpaste on a pimple and the next day it will be gone. It works. I've also tried the Prep H on swollen eyes. That didn't work for me. Does the book give any advice on swollen eyes? Inquiring minds want to know. Marling Everafter Farms, Soap & Homeschool Searcy, AR Friend to (note the last name) <g> : I just got a magazine today and they had " the 100 best beauty tips you'll ever get! " so i am gonna type a few of them a day for you guys. : : 1.) Get the softest skin ever by smoothing on baby oil in the shower after washing; it'll lock in moisture. : : 2.) Keep the bathroom door closed as you dry--steam moisturizes skin. Apply lotion while your body is still damp. : : 3.) A fast fix for cracked heels--At the beach, mix sunscreen with a smidge of sand and scrub away. (I'm sure you could substitute salt for the sand and/or lotion for sunscreen and get the same results) : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2000 Report Share Posted April 23, 2000 sure, no problem The only thing they gave was cucumbers like someone already said. But I don't remember them all I'll have to see. Oh I read somewhere that cotton balls soaked in cold milk also work pretty well. -- Send FREE April Fool's Greetings to your friends! http://www.whowhere.lycos.com/redirects/American_Greetings.rdct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2000 Report Share Posted April 25, 2000 no, i use it all the time and my skin is great just be sure to wash it off after. I also use it at dance competitions to remove makeup. I never had any problems with baby oil. Once again, just remember that I am writing the tips I got from a magazine. -- Send FREE April Fool's Greetings to your friends! http://www.whowhere.lycos.com/redirects/American_Greetings.rdct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2000 Report Share Posted April 25, 2000 , I have used baby oil to remove my eye makeup since I was about 14 and am now 39. I have less eye wrinkles than most people my age. Just giving my 2 cents.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2000 Report Share Posted April 26, 2000 Yup, same with me . I usually just wear mascara and eyeshadow but when I have dance competitions, it's the whole bit! Really hard to budge jet black eyeliner, mascara (2 coats) of WATERPROOF (don't ask me why we have to use that), 3 layers of dark brown, white, and tan eyeshadow, and eyebrow pencil. And then I also use the baby oil to remove lipstick cause we have to use dark, almost blood red lipstick that is the non-budge non-smear type of thing. LOL. Anyways...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Holy Smokes, Liz! You are like a psychic genius! You keep putting up things that I need to know! I also take Thyroid medicine! Wow! Love, Ivy"elwilkinson@..." <elwilkinson@...> wrote: From: "Feyona McFarlane" <Feyona@...> Subject: Tip According to Kent Holtorf, M.D., "CFS and FM patients will often have a number of thyroid abnormalities including a low free T3, a high reverse T3, and a low TSH. These abnormal ratios are not usually discovered using the standard laboratory interpretation of hypothyroidism. When CFS and FM patients are treated with thyroid, they are almost always under-dosed because their pituitary dysfunction results in their TSH becoming quickly suppressed, which normally indicates too much thyroid. Because these patients have pituitary dysfunction, one must forget about the TSH and not treat based on this parameter. These patients can also have a thyroid resistance syndrome. This has not been a well-accepted concept by general mainstream medicine and many refuse to believe it exists because the exact mechanism has not been elucidated, but this a real phenomenon. In fact, in a recent issue of International Journal of Medical Research, a major peer reviewed medical journal, a patient was described that required 10 times the normal dose of thyroid intravenously before her symptoms would resolve. This resistance usually improves as the patient gets better and they subsequently need less thyroid." (Source: www.ImmuneSupport.com.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 If it is hard to do your laundry the " right way " due to observation, is it possible for you to microwave it privately? We use ammonia and borox to wash our clothes, but then also microwave before and after wearing (everything except outside coats). And do the same with towels (before using and after). The microwaving has been more effective than the washing (though adding the ammonia had an immediate beneficial effect). I assume that's because the eggs get nuked during the microwaving while they may or may not get washed out. By the way, someone suggested I try adding liquified epsom salts to body lotion since I didn't have MSM (yet). I did, and the results are quite impressive. I then added Tea tree oil, which helped even more. > > So I just ordered 25 pounds of sulfur to mix into everything I use > online yesterday.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 10) Download some audio books onto your mp3 player, if you have one. Passes the time nicely without the strain of holding a book while lying in bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 My 7 month old daughter just received her Hanger cranial helmet last week. I was very surprised at how much she sweats underneath it. We live in East Texas and the temperatures are so hot right now. Is there anyone that has any suggestions for what to do to maybe keep her from sweating so badly under her helmet? Thanks, Mommy to Shelby Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 They sweat more in the first week or two and then usually adjust to it. I'm sure if it's really hot she's probably not wearing much for clothing, but try to dress her as lightly as possible. I was told not to put socks and shoes on in the first few weeks. Also, take the helmet off several times a day to dry her head, wipe out the inside of the helmet to dry it and then put it back on. My son had problems with heat rash in the first few weeks with his first helmet and I'm convinced it was because no one told us to take it off and dry his head every few hours. As a result, the helmet was shifting around on his wet head and caused all kinds of problems. Best of luck to you. > > My 7 month old daughter just received her Hanger cranial helmet last week.
