Stupid Tip of the Day: It’s My Hairbrush, Doesn’t Need to be Cleaned.

When you go to a salon or barber, you’ll notice they have that blue jar of liquid soaking scissors, combs and brushes. It sanitizes the tools, in between clients. Yes, if you’re the only one using your brush or comb, it doesn’t need to be cleaned between every brushing. But, it should be cleaned every so often.

Remove all clumps of stray hair and run a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol over the brush, while soaking in between the bristles. Let dry. If you wish, rinse after 10 minutes and let air dry.

If you want to do all the hair tools at the same time get a shallow dish that would allow them all to soak at the same time. Mix water, vinegar and a little bit of shampoo. Add to the dish and let tools soak for 30 minutes. Rinse and let air dry.

This is not true. Cleaning your dishwasher is a must. It’s a place that is wet, hot and dark which is the playground for bacterias and fungus. Gross, right.

Pouring vinegar in the soap spot (tray) and running it empty, every so many weeks to months, can keep your dishwasher fresh and clean. Before running it with the vinegar wash, take a vinegar soaked cloth and wipe under the overhand of where the door lays down. That is a spot that is often missed and never thought of. You may be surprised at what you wipe away from there.

Stupid Tip of the Day: How you Clean Your Veggies.

 


So, vegetables are important in our daily diet. And, how you clean them, is also important. I’ve seen people use cold water, No. Soap? NO! And, just pulling them out of a bag and eating. Definitely NO!

The quickest rinse is hot water. Than, run under cold water, to stop the cooking from inside, because of the heat of the water will start to cook the produce.

I’ve heard some people say a drop of chlorine bleach is a good way to clean the veggies, but I think that, that is only beneficial when the produce has come from your own garden.

Other than that, buying store produce could probably just go with a splash of hydrogen peroxide, in the soak and rinse of the vegetable. That is the safest process to clean and rinse, benefit the produce as well as your body.

Date nights are important from the first date through  those years there after, deciding to spend eternity. Date nights are how couples continue to have magic. Re-bonding over and over again. And, even if you’ve been together for decades, the date nights don’t have to get over the top exciting to still achieve connecting. They just have to be had.

Studies have shown the best way to bond is over food. Some say that’s a path of over indulging, but that’s not the case. Trying new foods or snacking while chatting is a great way to bond. Feeling distance in a relationship? Go out to eat, somewhere new.

Successful relationships have also admitted that date night, always ends with a make out session, even if it doesn’t end with a “home run”. A 5 minute make out session with your spouse or significant other, helps in keeping that spark, ignited.
