Satsuma Candle
My daughter Lucie sent me the information about how to make a candle out of a Satsuma Orange. Go to my blog at http://blog.priscillawoolworth.com/ and learn how to make your own. It's easy and so beautiful.
Thieves Oil
I use the Thieves Oil hand sanitizer while I'm out and about during the day, or traveling because it's brilliant at preventing the spread of germs, so appreciated during cold and flue season.
Thieves Hand Purifier is available on Amazon.
Save Money and Be Safe
Clean out your dryer's exhaust tube, if you haven't had it done in a while. A clogged up exhaust tube may slow drying time by 30 percent and is also a fire hazard, since dryer lint is combustible.
Wakeup-World
This is a wonderful site coming from Syndey, Australia, promoting health and empowering consumers with information about the healing power of foods.
Whole Spices
Most ground spices have a one year shelf life, where whole spices have three years. When grinding whole spices, use a mortar and pestle for some, and a grater for others.
Cutting Board
To clean, disinfect and brighten wood cutting boards: after you have cleaned it with a sponge and hot water, cut a lemon in half and rub it all over the surface of the cutting board. Lemon works as a natural bleach and disinfectant.
Be prepared
When your home loses power because of a storm or other natural disaster, the food in your fridge doesn't need to spoil. Learn what you can do:
Donate Airline Miles
