Make Your Own Carpet Fresh
Add Peppermint, Basil,
Eucalyptus or any other
essential oil to a box
of baking soda.
Use a jar with a lid.
Let sit at least a day.
Sprinkle on carpets, let
sit for 30-60 minutes
then vacuum as usual.
This also helps with
flea control. Much nicer
than the synthetic,
chemical based products
on the market.
Park & Walk
Whenever you have an
errand, park your car as
far away as you can
handle and walk to the
store. At the mall, park
at the farthest end and
walk the length of the
mall. Use every
opportunity to walk. At
the end of the day, it
all adds up to better
fitness.

Kitchen Burns
For minor kitchen burns,
apply pure Lavender
essential oil generously
to the affected area,
then cool with ice
cubes. The next day the
skin should look like
nothing happened.
Alcohol and Weight Loss
Alcohol can
add hundreds of calories to your daily intake, which can
make the difference between weight loss, maintaining
your current weight, or gaining weight. A single glass
of beer or wine can contain at least 100 calories.
Having a few drinks 3-4 nights a week could be adding
1,000 unforeseen calories to your diet. Alcohol also
acts as an appetite stimulant, and can lead you to eat
or crave foods that are not within with your weight-loss
plan. If you are dieting or are simply having trouble
getting rid of that last little bit of fat, keep your
alcohol intake to a minimum.
