BEST WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR PORES

Large pores are part of our life, same as breakups and taxes. But, if you do have large pores, it does not mean that there is no solution to your problem.

Every woman at some point in her life has to deal with blackheads. Men have this problem too. Blackheads, or commonly called come-do, are wide openings in the skin with black debris that covers the pores.

OIL- FREE CLEANSER----

Oil-free cleansers wash dirt, oil, and makeup away, and does not affect the natural moisture of your face. Rinse with cold water. Cold water will shrink your pores. 

CLAY MASK---

These masks strip water and oil from the skin and shrink your pores. Use clay masks with bentonite and kaoline clay.

NATURAL MASKS---

Combine 2 eggs, 4 tablespoons of sugar, and a few drops of acidic liquid. Apply the mask on your face and leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water.

SKIN TONER---

Skin tones even out skin. These eliminate oil and shine, prevent breakouts and clogged pores.

ASTRINGENTS---

Same as toners, but alcohol-based and much stronger. Alcohol-based astringents are only recommended for highly tolerant and oily skin.

SKIN EXFOLIATION---

Apply a cleanser on your face and gently scrub using a gritty scrub.

VITAMIN C----

Vitamin C stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.

STEAM----

You need simple ingredients like hot water, lemon juice, ice cubes, and a washcloth. Fill a large container with hot water and hold your face over it for 3-5 minutes. Put the lemon juice on the washcloth and dab it on the face. Rinse with cold water. Finally, gently massage your face using the ice cubes.

Alternate between steam, lemon juice treatment and ice cold massage and your pores will shrink immediately.

DO NOT KEEP YOUR MAKEUP ON OVERNIGHT-----

Leaving your makeup on during the night clogs pores and makes the skin oily, which causes blemishes and large pores.

WATER----

Avoid carbonated drinks and drink more water. This will reduce the size of your pores. Water eliminates toxins from the body unlike carbonated drinks that harm your overall health.

  BREAKFAST IS ALWAYS THE SAME----

1 cup of rice, 1 cup of beans, peas or lentil, a piece of whole-grain bread. Use more spices and less salt.

DINNER IN THE FIRST 7 DAYS---

ELIMINATE HEAD LICE WITH THIS SIMPLE REMEDY

INGREDIENTS--

Listerine mouthwash (off-brands work just fine as well)

White vinegar

Shower cap or plastic bags from the grocery store

A couple towels

Shampoo

Lice comb

METHOD----

Even though they don’t recommend using the blue or green mouthwash on blondes, we did and didn’t have any problems. Douse your child’s head with as much Listerine as needed to completely wet their head.
Once their head is completely drenched, gather their hair and put a plastic grocery bag, or shower cap, over it and leave it sit for at least an hour. We just used a few grocery bags to keep the wetness in and placed a towel around their shoulders. Children can play and do whatever you like. Just make sure to form a tight seal around their scalp to keep the lice in.
After enough time has passed, carefully remove the bags. You might be surprised at how many dead head lice are in the bags. Definitely not what you want to see, but at least you know it is doing the job.
Carefully rinse the mouthwash from their hair. Douse their head with the white vinegar. Reapply the bags again. Let it sit for another hour.
After an hour, take the bags off carefully. Rinse the vinegar from their hair. Shampoo as normal.
Once done, comb their hair using the lice comb. The vinegar helps to loosen the glue on the eggs, so that way you can easily comb them out.
The smell of the Listerine will help to keep them away. Lice especially don’t like the smell of spearmint, so you can put a bit of Listerine in a spray bottle with some water and spray your little one’s hair before they head to school.
Sure, you might spend a few hours doing the entire treatment, but you aren’t shoving a bunch of harsh chemicals into your little one’s bloodstream. Yeah, all of that lice medication goes straight through the scalp and into their system. Not something we were willing to deal with.
This healthy, safe alternative only costs a few dollars, but the results last for quite some time. After one treatment, we never had lice again. A few spritzes of the spearmint/water combo every morning was all it took to keep them away. Not only will your kids be protected, but their hair will be smooth, shiny and great-smelling. Give it a try; you won’t be disappointed.

TRICKS TO FIX YOUR WINTER PROBLEMS

 

1..Stuck in the snow?: Use kitty litter or your car's floor mats to get traction and get yourself out of a ditch or slippery situation.

2.. Hate fuzzy sweaters?: If your favorite sweater is "pilly" from being washed too much this winter, use a cheap razor (the kind with JUST blades, no soap) and go over the rough areas with it. It'll be smooth again.

3...Are you slipping everywhere?: Screw some screws into the bottom of some old tennis shoes. You'll gain traction, just don't wear them inside (and be careful not to leave screws exposed in the sole).

4...Is your windshield washer fluid freezing?: Instead of buying more expensive fluid, mix together 2 quarts rubbing alcohol, 1 cup water, and 1 teaspoon dish detergent. You can also spray a mixture of 3:1 vinegar to water on your car windows to keep water from icing.

5... Cold, but don't have insulated long johns?: Wear running tights or pantyhose under your pants.

6...Do your wipers stick to your windows? Keep them up in the air when you're parked and cover them with old socks.

7...Is your house too cold?: If you have a ceiling fan, keep it on LOW and make sure it's going in reverse (clockwise). It'll push the warm air that rises to the ceiling back down to you.

8...Hate hat hair?: Use dry shampoo after taking off your hair and fluff your hair, it'll be good as new.

9... Is your heater not getting the house warm enough?: If it's a wall-mounted heater or radiator, put a layer of tinfoil against the wall (be careful not to use anything else that would be a fire hazard). The foil will reflect the heat back into the room and won't let the wall absorb it.

MELT THE CHOCOLATE ON THE STOVE

1. To make a double boiler, find a heat resistant bowl that fits securely on the top of a saucepan and creates a seal around the edges of the pan. Fill the pan with an inch or two of water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water when placed on top the pot. Set the bowl aside and heat water until simmering but not boiling.
    
2. Place the bowl back on the top of the pot and pour chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in the bowl.
    
3. Melt the chocolate slowly over low heat. Use a spatula or spoon to stir the chocolate frequently until it's smooth and completely melted.

 Melt Chocolate in the Microwave---

1. Place your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
    
2. Microwave at medium power for 90 seconds for 1 ounce of chocolate, stopping halfway through to stir; adjust according to the amount of chocolate you're using.
    
3. Microwave at 30-second intervals until completely melted, stirring each time. The chocolate retains its shape when melted, so be sure to stir to see whether or not its done.

PERFECT BOIL THE EGGS

1. Gently place eggs in the bottom of a saucepan in a single layer.
    
2. Fill the pan with cold water to completely cover the eggs by about one inch of water.

3. Place the pot, uncovered, on a burner and turn it on high. Let the water come to a boil.

4. Once the water comes to a full boil, remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 9 to 12 minutes. The longer you let the eggs stand, the harder the yolks will be cooked.
    
5. After the time is up, strain the hot water out of the pan and fill it back up with cold water. Add ice cubes to the water and wait until the eggs have cooled enough to handle. 

6. Store the eggs in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

HOW TO CUT A PINEAPPLE

1.-- Start by placing the pineapple on its side on your cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice off about a half inch of the top, as well as a half inch of the bottom.


2. ---Stand the pineapple upright and carefully cut away the skin, from top to bottom, in sections. Cut off just enough so that you no longer see the brown eyes. Once you're done, use your knife or a peeler to carve out any remaining pieces of skin.

3. Once the skin is removed, cut the pineapple straight down the center lengthwise.

4. Slice each half in half again, so you're left with quarters.

5. Next, remove the hard core that runs down the center of the pineapple. Stand each quarter up and cut straight down to remove the hard core. Discard the core pieces.


6. Now, you're ready to slice the pineapple in any way you choose. Cut lengthwise first, then in chunks.


That's it! Just a few easy steps and you'll have a perfectly cut pineapple in minutes.
