Try rubbing the inside of a banana peel around your teeth for a minute or two.

Then use a toothbrush as usual. (I use a little salt only.) Amazing! In just two weeks you should notice a big difference.

I have also read that ground activated charcoal on a toothbrush works wonders too! Makes your mouth very black though – until you rinse!

Belts, my husband says, are useless things. As you get older – and wider – it gets harder for a leather belt to do its thing and stay in place.

And therefore he wears braces, and so does our son. In fact, braces are so-oooooo comfortable, and my husband swears they give you a real emotional lift all day. You kinds feel lifted up all day.

Son says it’s always fashionable too.

Did I mention braces can be picked up  for less than $10.00?

Try it guys. You might never go back.

My husband swears that women look better without make-up, so do we apply it for the sake of other women or for the men?

If we do it for men, I think he might have a point. They aren’t into shoes either.

Makeup substitutes (good for you and your skin too!) include:

makeup remover: olive oil or baby oil
shaving cream: baby oil
lip gloss: vaseline
dry hands: tomato ketchup – just wash after use!
hair gel: vaseline
blemishes: toothpaste dabbed on overnight
lotion: coconut oil or coconut milk
toner: apple cider vinegar with drop or two of essential oil for the smell (which fades fast anyway).
deodorant: equal parts baking soda and coconut oil
tooth whitener: pure baking soda on a toothbrush

Experiment. Go for as long as you can (two weeks at least) without washing your hair with shampoo.

By that time your hair and scalp will have readjusted and you can wash your hair with water as nature intended.

You can add a rinse of apple cider vinegar from time to time, but water is all you need.

It does take time, though, for your hair’s natural oils to do the right thing.

But a shave stick. Cheaper, better.

Electric razors over time cost more than blades.

Creams are costly and don’t work as well as a cheap shave stick.

You can always lather up ordinary soap too. Adding sugar will help the lathering.

Incidentally, electric shaving costs more than blades over time.
