For anyone with dry cuticles: buy some of the Revlon overnight cuticle cream. Put it on the toilet tank or on the sink next to the toilet. Next time you're sitting with nothing to do, put some stuff on your cuticles! They'll be soft in no time, you won't forget about it, and your nails will be longer and harder, and grow faster too!

Vitamin E cream helps prevent wind burn and chapped skin. Put some on your face before you go out to ride in the cold.

Deodorant helps prevent heat rash in the summer. Put it anywhere you suffer from heat rash (under the elastic on the sports bra, for me), and it will prevent chaffing.

Absorbine Hoof Quench works AWESOME to help grow your nails and soften your cuticles. After I apply the cream, I take a orange stick (cuticle stick) and just push my cuticles back.

Don't laugh...I did this for a month before my wedding and my nails looked awesome - and it didn't cost me a fortune to get fake nails that destroy your nautral nail (I know they do, I wore fake nails for a year)

If you get blood on your clothes (I'm talking your own blood), spit on the spot and rub, rub, rub. Apparently there is an enzyme in saliva that breaks down the blood. Dunno, always works for me!

BTW - love this thread! Excellent idea!

Pimples - baking soda & water, make it into a paste it draws out the infection. You can use it on bee stings to suck out the stinger

boils, burns whatever - honey, it is a natural antibotic(sp?) and your boil will be gone in a WEEK!!! completely!

Spray away arthiritis pain! You know how great WD-40 is for quieting squeaky hinges. But you may be surprised to learn that a spritz on arthiritic joints can provide relief and make movement easier. Sounds incredible - but people who have tried it, swear by it!

No more ironing! Thanks to its acidic nature, vinegar has hundreds of practical uses. One you may NOT know about is its wrinkle-busting power in clothing. And it will save you work. Here's how: After they come out of the dryer, simply mist wrinkled clothes with a solution of 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water. Hand to air-dry. Wrinkles are gone!

Keep milk fresh longer! Remember you learned in high school chemistry that salt is a preservative? Well, that little fact can save you some money! Adding a tiny pinch of salt to a carton of milk will keep it longer. Works for cream too.

The Greenest Lawn in Town! Epsom salt, the mineral bath that Grandpa soaked his sore muscles in, has another secret use. Because it's rich in two minerals that make plants grow like crazy, it can turn your lawn super-green. And it's cheaper than fertilizer! Add 2 tablespoons to one gallon of water and spread over your grass so it soaks it. You'll be delighted!

Halt a Windshield Crack! There are a lot of neat tricks you can do with clear nail polosh. For instance, here's how to stop a windshield crack from spreading: Just fill the crack well on both sides and let it dry thoroughly. This ingenious tip delays replacing the windshield and saves you big money in the meantime.

Relieve back pain with meat tenderizer! The same enzymes in meat tenderizer can :tenderize" a bad nack. It's amazing, but true! Just mix a little with water to make a paste. Then rub it where it hurts. You'll be astounded at the relief!

Dry up a pimple with crushed asprin! Chase away a surprise blemish in a hurry. Crush one aspirin and moisten with water. Apply to the pimple for a few minutes. Rinse off and prepare to be astonished!

Make your beautiful nails last longer! Tired of nail polish that scratches and flakes away too soon? Try this: Ordinary vinegar contains natural chemicals that make nail gloss ashere better and lastlonger. Just do this BEFORE you polish your nails.

Who needs Botox when you have bananas? Asian cooks use bananas in their recipes vecause the natural enzymes soften meat. You can use these same compounds to beautify your skin. The refreshining banana facial will soften your complexion, leaving it fresh and moist.

"Fry" crispy bacon fast in your microwave! In a hirrt? Want crisp bacon without the mess? Lay bacon slices between layers of paper towels in your microwave. Cook on "high". It's ready in minutes. No pan to clean and no grease splatters.

Fluff up your omelets! Make your omelets and scrambled eggs fluffier by whipping in a little baking soda before cooking.

Quick-ripen green fruit! If you cought a sale, but the fresh fruit you bought isn't quite ripe, here's a trick that will have it ready in no time: Place fruit in a plastic bag with a ripe banana. the banana emits ethylene gas which ripens your fruit! This way your fruit supply lasts longer - you can ripen it as you go.

Get a Grip! If your grip has been weakened by arthiritis or illness, try this: Cut an old tennis ball in half. Use it to open jars and bottles with ease. You're strong again!

Use less oil! Give any frying pan a non-stick surfac by boiling vinegar in it for a few minutes. Amazing!

Chop onions without tears! Just pop the onion in your freezer for 30 minutes before chopping. You won't shed a single tear!

Make cheese last longer. Prevent mold from spoiling your cheese by rubbing it with a little butter.

Send moles packing - with cat litter! Moles hate the smell of soiled cat litter even more then you do. Pour some down their tunnels and they'll scurry away to find new homes. No cat? No problem! The castor oil trick gets rid of them, too. It's non-toxic and completely safe!

Make garden seeds sprout faster! Just scratch their hulls by rubbing between sandpaper sheets, then soak them in apple cider vinegar. They'll spring to life fast!

End swimming pool "oil slick." A couple of floating tennis balls will soak up the body oils and sunscreen lotion from swimmers. Smart!

Stop mosquito bites from itching INSTANTLY! You don't need toxic sprays. Just dab them with a little ammonia. It contains a compound that provides fast relief. Your friends and family will be so grateful!

Revive a dead car battery with a couple of aspirin! Battery dead? no one around to give you a jump? try this trick: Drop two aspirin tablets into the battery and be on your way! The acid in teh aspirin gived the battery's acid one last charge.

Make candles last longer - by freezing them! They'll burn down slower and last longer if you freeze them first. Aren't you clever!

Sharpen dull scissors with aluminum foil! Fold aluminum foil into several layers and cut into strips. After several passes your scissor will be sharp again! What do you do with teh resulting foil strips? Use them to keep birds from picking on your fruit trees and garden plants.

Keep your hands super-warm. When it's really cold, wear a pair of letex surgical gloves under your winter gloves. The extra insulation keeps your hands toasty.

Make old jewelry look new again! Soaj it with a denture tablet. The bleachig agent will make your jewelry shine like new. Diamonds will regain their original sparkle.

Fishing tricks! Coat your lines with cooking spray to cast easier and farther: Spray lures and baith with WD-40 to make fish bite, Attract fish like crazy with Alka-Seltzer.

Whoa. My hands feel weird now. I hope you enjoy. I heart this thread, If you find any spelling or grammar errors, I'm sorry. I don't really feel like going through it all. Lol

haha, zit tip:

I got this stuff a while ago...it was essentially medicated cover-up but ya haha...It was neutrogena, and it was called On-the-spot blemish wand.

Anyways, I found it amazing actually (unless it was just me

)...sometimes I could litterally put it on before school in the morning, and get home and the zit would be GONE

Sometimes it took a bit longer for them to dissapear with this, but I find it really does work for me! And as a bonus you can wear it anywhere because its the same colour as your skin and it isn't really visable. I mean, i've never tried using toothpaste, but let me see you wear THAT out of the house lmao!
