MAKING YOUR OWN HAND AND BODY LOTIONS:       You can save on your pretty smellin' hand and body lotions by doing this very simple and cheap trick.       From your local dollar type store purchase two or three of the large size bottles of lotion and a large jar of good ole Vaseline.       When you get them home, put all their contents in a big bowl and mix them together with your electric mixer. Mix contents until it become nice and smooth. (Or you can use a blender on low speed.)       Now put the new Hand and body Lotions back in their bottles, and you've got a nice long-lasting supply of skin softening lotion ready for you after your shower or your frequent hand washings in the kitchen - for just a few pennies! Wow ! What a Great idea. THRIFTY TIP'S 1.Mix equal parts of white vinegar and any dishwashing soap in a spray bottle. Spray on spots to pre-treat the stain. For stubborn spots and stains, rub the solution into the area or use an old clean toothbrush to gently scrub the stain. Then afterwards simply launder as usual . 2.When changing a vacuum bag, place some scented dried potpourri or a sprig of rosemary in the bag. When you vacuum, you will freshen the air with a nice aroma.
