Susan's Helpful Household Hints & Tips (week at a glance)

What a Great Idea -
No roasting rack? If you don't have a roasting rack for roasting meat, you can use a layer of celery or onions to hold the meat off the bottom of the pan so it will not set in its juices as it cooks. The layer of celery or onions also provides an added benefit of additional flavor to the meat, pan drippings and subsequent gravy. I have always placed carrots, celery and onions in the roasting pan, under the rack when roasting a turkey.

Beauty Tips -
Dead Skin Removal Rub a small amount of Miracle Whip (not mayonnaise) into your skin and let it dry a few minutes. While your skin is still slightly moist, massage it vigorously with your fingertips. You'll be surprised at how much dead skin will roll right off. This treatment is very good for feet, elbows, knees and face. Eyelashes Treatment Eyelashes will grow longer and thicker if you rub them with castor oil every night before retiring. Eye Treatment Apply castor oil gently around your eyes before retiring to prevent tiny lines and swelling. Make sure it is the odorless form. Some Plastic surgeons use this on their patients following surgery. Foundation/Moisturizer Mix foundation and moisturizer (50/50) and apply with a sponge. It will give a natural more translucent look and keep your skin moisturized under the makeup. Nails Store a new bottle of nail polish in the refrigerator and it will always be smooth and easy to apply.

Homemade Fabreeze -
4 tablespoons Ultra Downy Clean Breeze fabric softener 25 oz. water Mix and dispense from a 32 oz. spray bottle.

Planting Sprouting Garlic -
Don't throw out sprouting garlic. Instead, plant the cloves fairly close together in a pot or in the garden (if your climate is suitable at the time). The new shoots that appear will have a mild garlic flavor and can be used in the same manner as regular chives.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7UP Tips -
In addition to a multitude of uses in popular recipes, 7UP is an effective home remedy for use in keeping roses blooming for 7 to 10 days. Mix ½ cup warm water with ½ can 7UP and pour the mixture into the vase of roses. The sugar provides the food, and the carbonation in the 7UP kills the bacteria. Best suited for same day purchase or same day delivery. Also, regular 7UP may be used to remove cat stains or odors. Just pour regular 7UP on the stain and blot well
