WHY?

  • Why use an expensive and harmful for the environment window cleaner, that smears its various softeners and chemicals on your windows, when you can clean them with some water and a bit of vinegar, which costs next to nothing and is much more effective!
  • Why use an expensive anti-wrinkle cream when you can simply rub your face with grape cut in half and get even better results?
  • Why buy medications if you have a cold, when you can make yourself an all natural cure with honey, lemon, ginger and garlic?

EXAMPLES

  • How to use barbecue sauce properly: Tomatoes and sugar in barbecue sauce have low burning temperatures and burn very quickly. Just before you remove the meat from the grill, place the barbecue sauce on all sides of the meat and allow the meat to sit away from the direct heat for 15 minutes.
  • Enhancing coffee flavor: To enhance the flavor of your favorite coffee, just put a pinch of cooking salt into the molded coffee box or bag.
  • Turning on stiff taps: If you've got a tap that is very stiff and hard to turn on, don't over force on it, spray some penetrating oil onto the handle. Leave it to work ten minutes. If it's still stiff, add some more oil and wait a further ten minutes.
  • Applying perfume: Oily skin holds perfume scents longer than dry skin. So, before applying perfume, rub a very thin layer of Vaseline or petroleum jelly on your skin and you will smell delicious for hours.
