THE SMILE TRAIN In what is surely one of the most heartwarming sites on the web we invite readers to take a look at, and contribute to, The Smile Train. The Smile Train is the World’s Leading Cleft Charity. Clefts are a major problem in developing countries where there are millions of children who are suffering with un-repaired clefts. Most cannot eat or speak properly. Most aren’t allowed to attend school or hold a job. And all face very difficult lives filled with shame, isolation, and pain. Your gift of a smile to this organization will be one of the most effective, impact-ful donation to a charity you’ll ever make. 100% of donations go towards programs that help children and 0% goes to overhead. The best part of contributing is that you’ll be part of providing a modern-day medical miracle. Unbelievably, for as little as $250, and just 45 minutes of surgery, a desperate child will have a new smile and a new life. Visit our website Today!

| AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, DID YOU KNOW THE TOP 15 WAYS TO KEEP IT CLEAN NATURALLY? Mold, grass…..things you can’t get these out of your favorite clothes and linens….we have some wonderful alternatives for you to try….. To clean your clothes without chemicals, try these stain-removal ideas, tips and cleaning solutions: 1. Make a paste out of baking soda and water, apply it to the stain and let it sit for an hour before washing. 2. Squeeze a lemon. Lemon juice contains citric acid; its bleaching action works especially well on white fabrics and sweat stains. Make a paste of lemon juice and baking soda and leave it on the stain for half an hour before washing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 3. Pinch the peroxide. Watered-down hydrogen peroxide – half peroxide, half water – also removes tough stains, even blood, from white fabrics. (Tip: One hundred percent peroxide is not sold in drugstores; instead it’s sold as a 3% solution – 3% hydrogen peroxide; 97% water. The 3% solution is what you want to mix equally with water… not the 100% solution.) This will work on most fabrics, but do a test spot first. 4. Dab, don’t rub. Always blot a stain before trying to remove it. Work from the edges to the center, which will keep the stain from spreading. 5. To remove ketchup, blood, grass, fruit juice, and sweat stains – Rub distilled white vinegar right onto the stain. Let sit a few minutes before washing. 6. To remove oil or grease (e.g. from salad dressing) – Rub on dishwashing liquid and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before washing. 7. To remove grass – Use an old toothbrush to rub whitening toothpaste onto the stain. Let sit overnight, and then wash. 8. To remove blood – Make a paste of cool water and meat tenderizer (unseasoned). Apply to the stain, then let sit 15 to 30 minutes before washing. 9. To remove ketchup – Soak a fresh stain in cool water for 10 minutes, rub in liquid detergent, then wash. 10. To clean moldy towels add a few drops of clove, lemon or eucalyptus essential oil to the rinse cycle. 11. An alternative method for badly mildewed or moldy line is to soak the towel in distilled white vinegar, diluted with water for 10 to 20 minutes. Let your nose determine the formula: The nastier the mildew smell, the more vinegar (and less water) you’ll need. Then, machine wash in hot water and line dry. 12. To brighten white linens, add 1/4 cup of lemon juice to the wash cycle, and launder as usual in warm water. For best results, hang them to dry outside: the sun will increase the whitening effect. 13. To keep colors vibrant use a cup of vinegar added to the wash - caution- don’t use vinegar if you are using bleach; the resulting fumes are hazardous. 14. To enhance the sweet scent of your laundry add a few drops of essential oil to the rinse cycle - try fir, spruce, lavender, cedarwood, wintergreen, or rosewood. 15. To keep clothes and linens fresh store linens in a drawer with homemade cheesecloth sachets filled with crushed dried lavender or your favorite herb | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
