Thinspiration. Home Remedies For A Cold Using Whiskey. Home remedies for colds, particularly those that hearken back several generations, often contain whiskey as a primary ingredient. The alcoholic beverage soothes sore throats, quiets coughs, clears stuffy noses and encourages sleep. Though these whiskey-based cold remedies can be helpful for adults, they are not recommended for children or teens.

To make a whiskey-based hot toddy, measure 1/4 cup of whiskey, 1/4 cup of honey and 1/4 cup of fresh-squeezed lemon juice into a mug. Microwave the mixture until it's hot, then sip it until it's gone. If the hot toddy tastes too strong, add 1/4 cup of boiling water to the mix. The type of whiskey you should use depends on your symptoms. Whiskey cough syrup is an old-fashioned cold remedy that contains no drugs or chemicals.

Well, allow me to explain….. Just over two weeks ago I “DARED” you to wash your face with OIL and see how you liked it. I took the same dare and began my “14 Day Oil Cleansing Method Challenge”. You can see the original post here: Wash Your Face With Oil…I Dare You! I went and purchased the oils and mixed them up in this cute little decanter.
I also bought some clean, white cloths and a new stretchy headband. I was ready to do this thing right! That is why I was anxious to try this cleansing method in the first place. I finally convinced (OK…maybe bribed is a better word) her to take the 14 day challenge with me and since she was struggling with acne issues…we decided to take the advice of Briana who left this comment after the original post: While I stuck with the sunflower and castor oil mixture I’d made, I gave my daughter my bottle of Tea Tree Oil to try as well.

Well, that was enlightening…to me! Since we put in all that effort to get those pit stains out….makes sense we should try and KEEP them out! Becca and Mrs. Jones Soapbox also left comments awhile back on “Goodbye To Yellow Armpit Stains!” Saying it was the aluminum in antiperspirant that causes the yellowing….but it never occurred to me to substitute a homemade version. duh. Karen’s recipe for all-natural deodorant is as follows: 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup baking soda 10 drops tea tree oil Shake it up real good, then just apply to clean armpits. Since I didn’t have any Tea Tree Oil on hand (I gave all mine to my daughter for our Oil Cleansing Method Challenge. Natural Deodorant I actually doubled this recipe. "One Good Thing" by Jillee: Wash Your Face With Oil....I Dare You! Let’s try this again…shall we?
Despite being distracted by the couch-burning episode yesterday…I’m still excited to talk about Washing Your Face With Oil. (I have moved all couches out of the vicinity…just in case!) So let’s see where were we? Oh yes…washing your face with oil. Sounds like it makes about as much sense as brushing your teeth with sugar….or washing your hands with mud! But what I have come to realize over the years is sometimes the most counter-intuitive ideas turn out to be the BEST ideas!
For example: when my chef friend Heather told me to run my store-bought sourdough baguette under the kitchen faucet before putting it in the oven to warm up...I thought maybe she’d been sampling the cooking sherry. ;-) But sure enough…it came out perfectly. So when I first heard about this “Oil Cleansing Method” I tried to keep an open mind.

Saving Face: Seven Bad Beauty Habits to Break - DivineCaroline. A VC: Subconscious Information Processing. It's fathers day and I thought I'd tell a story about my dad and something he taught me a long time ago. I was in middle school and I had a school project due the next day and it came up at dinner that I had not done the project. My dad made me stay up very late that night until I had completed it. And he stayed up with me.
He made sure I understood two things that evening. The first one is obvious. But the second thing he explained to me was more subtle and way more powerful. He explained that once your brain starts working on a problem, it doesn't stop. I've taken that approach with every big problem I've faced ever since. I'm a big fan of subconscious information processing.
Thanks dad for that tip. Mens Health - Yoga - Get Started Guide.
