Practical and natural!
Welcome to my Donna’s “Did You Know, Diary?” for this month, where I am pleased to share the following with you.
Here’s what I learned for this month:
- About shingles: One in every three persons can contract this very painful disorder. It does not discriminate and attacks every part of your body.
- About the area under your eyes: They are the most tender part of your body. They are one of the first parts of your facial area to reveal aging.
- About honey before bedtime: If you are having trouble sleeping, just dissolve about a teaspoon of honey in some water and then drink slowly.
- A baking tip: It is better to bake at 325 degrees rather than at 350 degrees, as 325 degrees gives you a better bake, so to speak.
- About sharpening a knife: Use a stone to do this. Move the stone up and down the blade of the knife in one direction a few times. Then repeat the process in the other direction.
- About the colour red: This is the colour that runs the most when doing laundry!
- Providing ice at a function: If the function is supposed to last for about three hours, then one pound of ice per person is a good rule of thumb to follow.
- About laundry detergent and fabric softener: Do not mix them together when filling your washer with water. The detergent belongs in the washer’s tub, and the fabric softener belongs in the container or receptacle of your washer designated for this.
- Something important about your kettle: Always make sure that the water level in your kettle is at the correct level, or else if it is too low, the coils in your kettle can easily burn out.
- About a hand shake: If someone deliberately closes their hand when you go to shake their hand, it means that they do not wish to shake your hand.
- Here’s what you do when taking your blood pressure: Relax and remain very still! For any activity, such as walking before taking it or even laughing, can affect the result.
