Lisa D's Health Tip

You probably have THIS in your fridge right now, but did you know it can do ALL of THESE things??????

Seriously, how did I not know Baking Soda could be used in so many different ways?! Everything from polishing furniture to freshening breath. From relieving irritated skin to polishing floors and so much more! Thanks to yahoo.ca for such a great article.

Have puffy under eyes?? Yep. Baking Soda can help there too. Here are the top 6 uses for Baking Soda:

1. Freshens Breath
Apparently if you mix 1 tsp of the stuff with a glass of water you’ll neutralise any odors in your mouth leaving your breath smelling a whole lot nicer.

2. Relieves Irritated Skin
Whether you’re dealing with a bad case of nappy rash or just a dry patch of skin, a cup of baking soda in the bath water can make your skin much softer.

3. Cleans Floors
Mix half a cup of baking soda with warm water to clean any tiled floors you have.

4. Cleans Crayons From Walls
Mix it with water, dab a cloth in the solution and rub gently on the doodled-on wall. Genius.

5. Gets Rid Of Eye Bags
As mentioned above!  Simply make a small paste and place on the puffy area avoiding contact with your eyes. Let sit for a few minutes and rinse off.

6. Keeps Flowers Fresh
Add a teaspoon to the vase and they’ll stay looking lively for a couple of days longer.
