Ease the Sting of a Wasp

If you have been stung by a wasp, then you know it is no fun. Help take the sing out by applying apple cider vinegar gently with a ball of cotton.
Another helpful sting easier is to apply a baking soda, water paste.
Personally I find the former works better.

Homemade Mosquito Trap

Homemade Mosquito Trap

Materials Needed:
1-2 liter bottle
glue
1 tsp yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1 C lukewarm water

Instructions:
Cut the top off a 2 liter bottle. Invert the cone and place it inside the straight part of the bottle. Glue the two pieces together. Add 1 tsp yeast and 1/2 cup sugar to some luke warm water, and pour the mixture into the bottle. Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide that you exhale. The yeast feeds off the sugar and emits the same gas, so the mosquito enters the bottle, thinking it will find food there and is trapped.

Cleaning Windows & Mirrors

If you are like most people you have dozens of bottles of different cleaning products cluttering your cabinets. Here is an essential product you truly need to keep your windows sparkly clean. I am not telling you to throw away a favorite product that works for you. If it works great there is no need to replace it. But if you find that it isn't working quite like you feel it should, keep reading.

White Vinegar
White vinegar is a great natural way to clean everything from toilets to windows!

Here are two great tips for windows and mirrors. If you feel the need to use a regular window cleaner, then use a wadded piece of newspaper going in circles. This will help the inevitable streaks from occurring.
Another option, if you have one in your area is to go to a janitorial supply store (Not the local market) and get a professional grade squeegee. It really does make a world of difference.

*Combine the squeegee and white vinegar and you have an unstoppable combination to make your windows sparkle.

Keep reading, and I'll keep posting. :) Happy cleaning.
