soapy water to kill wasp nests, can spray directly (kerosene works better ) or fill a pan and put sugar on it to attract/kill them, then just dump the pail of dead wasps.

those cans of timed air freshener kills cockroaches on contact, and makes the house smell better than traditional insect sprays.

Dunno if that's what you're looking for... don't really know any "beauty secrets"...

eating yogurt helps me after I drink alot of milk somehow with my lactose intolerance...

A small drink (only like, a quatre of a standard cup) of milk to get rid of indigestion.

well for colds you can use

1) chicken soup with plenty of onions, olive oil and garlic,.

2) carrot siroup - you have it by putting sugar over thin sliced carrots and let the sugar turn ti a syroup. than drink it. it deals with cough and itchy throats.

3) lemon tea with honey - you take the peal of the lemon ...just the eyllow stuff, no whites. and boil it in water till the water turn yellow. than pour it in a mug with honye and drink it...you'll see the difference.

Drinking vinegar will help with acid reflux. It balances or neutralizes the acidic level.

Whiskey - It helps you forget your troubles. WARNING - Will not take away troubles or solve them. May cause headaches and nausea when taken in abundance.

Here's one my family has used for longer than I know.

If you get stung by a bee or wasp:

Take a small bit baking soda, mix it with a little water to make a paste. Rub it on the sting & let it dry til it falls off. It helps keep the swelling down & relieves the pain.

I've used it sooo often. It's cheaper than those medication sticks you can buy, and most everyone has baking soda on hand.

I make a homemade concoction for the flu when I have a bad case of it using black currants, orange and grapefruit slices/zest. Steep in boiling water and add sugar to taste, works great for me and leaves the throat lozenges for better use

Edit - Spelling error

For dark circles around eyes, make a paste out of 1 tsp. tomato juice, 1/2 tsp. lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder, and 1 tsp. of flour. Apply around eyes. Leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing.

Alternatively, go to bed earlier

^^ You are kidding right? Don't you know that capsicums or peppers work better to applying to the eyes?

No. I'm not an expert?

Garlic. Cures whatever ails you.

I also read that bananas once mashed are good for around the eye area, but they mostly even out fine lines and your skin becomes more visible...it works...ok that sounded like a tv add LOL but it does work.

Vaseline is also great for your skin it works wonders, thats how I am able to keep a clear complexion!! I use it every night with out fail...ok it's not a home remidy but it's a nice tip for those that want great skin

Edit - once mashed the banana only leave it on for 10 - 15 mins!!

Garlic Breath - This can be cured easily by suicide. Your rotting skin will mask the scent.

Okay, I'll be serious

Pimples - Leave them the hell alone!

My Grandmother used to use "DMSO", (a brand of soap), for arthritis pain. I've not seen it in the stores for a number of years now though.

Put white toothpaste on your spots before you go to bed and wash it off in the morning. It dries them out.

Use olive oil to soften your skin. Rub it in and then rinse it off. It's brilliant stuff.

Vasaline on your eyelashes makes them all thick and long.

Tea Stains Can be Removed by\Avoided By Salt.
Like If There is a Small Spill of Tea at a Cloth Immediately Put and Rub some Salt on the Stain and Sprinkle Few Small Draps of Water and Let it Dry After then If You Want Wash the Cloth.

I've never tried this myself, but my mom told me about it. Her dad used this trick during the Great Depression. They were *really* poor then, like most people in the country. When anyone in the family had a sore throat my grandfather would make them homemade cough drops. He'd dice an onion up fine, cook it slowly in a skillet to caramelize the sugar in it, then mix it with honey and lemon juice and cook the whole mess until it reached "hard ball" stage. That's where, if you drop a little bit into cold water, it forms a hard ball. (If you've ever made fudge, you probably know what "soft ball" stage is like. This is just a bit more cooked than that.) Then he'd drop it out onto a cookie sheet and let the drops harden.

I usually make hot lemonade for a sore throat. I make it just like regular lemonade, only using hot water and lots of sugar. Honey is better, unless of course you're giving it to infants or toddlers, who should never be given honey as it can kill them.

Cider vinegar on bee-stings works well.

Honey is excellent on burns - takes the pain right out and is antiseptic.

on the same line, you can get a plastic bottle, cut off about the top 1/4 and then place the top back on the bottle so that it looks like a funnel. Then fill the bottle with a sugary substance, fizzy pop will do, and the wasps will fly into the bottle but are incapable of escaping.

or try hanging a bag up somewhere outside, and the wasps think it is a rival wasps nest and stay well away!

as you might be able to tell I hate wasps!
