Yeast infections and Bacterial infections can effect a lot of women during hormonal changes, adding in new medications, allergic reactions, etc. These infections can affect men as well. Passing them back and forth can be a nightmare. Disposing of underwear can help but can also be expensive.
Here’s a tip to sanitize your underwear to kill the yeast and bacteria and eliminating reinfection from that source.
Wash underwear together, separate from other clothing. Add in vinegar or grapefruit extract to the washer to kill off the majority. Then before you put the undergarments into the dryer, (Important: Make sure there is no metal or sparkles on the underwear) place damp underwear on a paper towel, and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on high. (caution: underwear will be very hot when removing from microwave.)
This will kill the remainder of the bacteria and yeast. Immediately, place in dryer to dry the underwear.
The microwave is fine because, all the bad stuff died in the intense heat, but some people feel the need to clean the microwave after this purpose. Sanitize microwave by using a bowl of water in the microwave for 3 minutes on high to allow steam to kill anything left over. Wipe down with a clean cloth or paper towel. Repeat this process until infection completely clears up.

I usually don’t write about myself so matter-of-fact, but I was asked this question several times about, how do I do my two-tone lipstick? and how can others do the same to make it look good? That’s very kind and thank you for asking. I’ll tell you how and why I do the two-tone lip.
First the why, I’m very big into shading and definition when it comes to art and life, so why not with makeup as well. I like playing with dark colors, but I have a very fair complexion, so bold, one dimensional lips can wash me out instantly. Adding a shading element can allow me to play with colors, whether it’s being bold or subtle.
Now the how. To get the two-tone look is really quite simple. It’s 3 easy steps.
Step One: Apply foundation on lips to keep the lip liner from bleeding.
Step Two: Choose your favorite lip liner and apply. Then, press and smear into the the foundation. This gives you a two-tone look immediately. Be sure to blend it in so it’s not just a distinct line around your lips. Remember shading is the key.
Step Three: Apply a neutral or clear gloss to the lips and press together. Blend where needed. Don’t forget to blot.
And, there you have extreme lip definition with a two-tone lip.
