You can use vinegar to heal a bruise? Soak a cotton ball in vinegar and then apply it to the bruise for an hour.
Vinegar also works great on sunburns! Fill a spray bottle with vinegar and cover the burn. Let it dry. Apply again if needed. We were surprised to find that the vinegar turned the burn into a tan almost overnight!
Avons Skin So Soft oil is great for keeping bugs out of your house. Spray it around doors and windowsills to keep the critters outdoors.
You can make an Omelet in a sandwich bag? Simply take a sandwich bag, toss in a couple of beaten eggs, add in ham, cheese, peppers, anything you like. Seal the bag and boil in a pot of water for 13 minutes!
