Caring for Pearls

This is the birthstone for all those people who were born in June. Pearls are classics, every woman should have a pearl necklace or at least a pair of earrings made of pearls.

Pearls are softer than other gems and should be handled with care. Pearls should be wiped with a soft cloth after they’re worn, since body oil, makeup, hair spray and perfume can spot the surface. Use mild soapy water to clean pearls; do not use cleaning solvents or put them in an ultrasonic cleaner. Store pearls in a soft cloth or pouch.

::Tips and Tricks:: for bruises, burns and more...

As you can see, I love to learn new tips and share them with you, someone told me the other day "you are the Queen of Tips", ...you know who you are ;D

I bring you more new tips for this week:

• Splinter remover - Just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue all over the splinter. Let dry and peel the glue off the skin in the direction of entry.
  
• Vinegar to heal bruises - Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and speed up the healing.
• Get right of unsightly toenail fungus - by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. This powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.
• Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for minor burns.
• Rainy day cure for dog odor. - Next time your dog/cat comes in from the rain, simply wipe them down with Bounce or any other dryer sheets.
