Practical and natural!
Welcome to my Donna’s did you know diary for this month and pleased to share the following with you.
Here’s what I learned for this month.
1) A safe and sound way to protect your delicate garments when putting them into the washer!
Just place them in a mesh bag.
2) Saving water after you have done your laundry?
Turn off the taps to your washer after your laundry has finished washing in the washer.
3) About wearing jeans in the winter?
This applies to any cold day!
If you wear jeans remember to have something on underneath your jeans.
Maybe tights?
You see, if you wear jeans with nothing underneath then your skin bears the brunt of cold air.
4) About alkaline batteries!
They ignite very quickly if they are hit by salt water.
Remember this especially so when in the midst of a hurricane and you live near the sea.
5) What’s this about handshakes?
If you attempt to shake someone’s hand and they do not open their hand in response,
They fold their thumbs into the palm of their hand,
It means that they do not wish to return the handshake.
6) About pistachios?
A daily handful of these wonderful nuts is healthy for you
Especially when it comes to promoting good vision.
7) Looking for a safe and quick way to sleep better at night?
Take a teaspoon with either some lemon juice
or dissolve it in some warm water.
8) For a gentle reminder to those focused on a healthy diabetes diet!
More fruits and vegetables
Less carbs
Water down your fruit juices
9) Here is an interesting piece of info about squirrels
Ground squirrels hibernate in the winter so they do not gather nuts and scraps for the winter.
Red squirrels do not hibernate in the winter so they need to gather nuts and scraps for the winter.
10) About liquid Castille soap?
This is a versatile product.
Use it to clean your bathroom or kitchen
By dropping a few drops into a container of water.
Or use it as a body wash
Or for even washing your clothes.
Drop a few drops of liquid Castille soap into your laundry wash.
