Last week we talked about tie-dying.
Hope you used gloves because that paint can make quite a mess on your fingers. But if you didn’t, you can always give your hands a scrub with baking soda.
Baking soda is truly marvellous stuff. We’ve talked about that before too – especially how it can unblock drains and clean gunk off irons.
One of the best uses I have come across for baking soda is as a beauty product.
Reuse an old spice jar – fill it with baking soda and stash it in the bathroom or the shower cubicle.
When washing your hair, sprinkle a little into the shampoo in your hand and then wash your hair.
The baking soda strips away all the hair products that you might have used the last time you styled your hair.
Plus it makes it feel nice and lessens the tangles too.
You can also use it as a face-scrub – instead of those expensive products with little teensy plastic beads that pollute the environment and cause fish to die!
Just pour some into your hands, add a bit of warm water and give your face a scrub.
Of course, don’t forget to moisturise afterwards – especially in the winter when things get so dry.
You know how your legs get all dry and scaly too? Same thing – sprinkle some baking soda into your hand in the shower and give your legs a scrub – gets rid of all the old lotion, bits of skin and other debris and your legs feel nice and smooth.
Do it once a week.
Seriously people!
Why waste money on fancy products if you can use stuff that is sitting in the kitchen cupboard.
Remember how I got into trouble when I took the last loo roll!
You can also put a little pinch of baking soda on your toothpaste (on your toothbrush – duh) every now and then for whiter, brighter teeth – but don’t do it too often otherwise you might damage the enamel.
If you have gumboils – a spoonful of salt and one of baking soda, mixed together with half a cup of warm water, swished around your mouth makes it feel a lot better. Also gargling with baking soda and water can kill bacteria and freshen up your breath.
See – it really is magic stuff!
