Call me weird, but I actually enjoy finding remedies for things with out having to spend a fortune.  For example, if you have a cough instead of going to the store and buying expensive cough syrup all you need to do is chop up an onion, put it in a Tupperware type container and pour some sugar over it and then cover it.  Let it sit for a few hours and you will see a syrup starting to form.  Take a spoonful of syrup and then later on in the day when you start coughing again take another spoonful.   By the following day your coughing will of decreased a lot, if not left all together.   I swear by this as we have used this 3 times on Kevin and it has worked every time!!   Needless to say we won’t be having to stock up on cough syrup anymore… onion syrup is the way to go for us!  Plus it’s a lot cheaper!

I just found out another cool thing, just haven’t used it yet so I can’t vouch 100% for it.   Let me just say are you a woman (I guess I could say man too) that has bags under their eyes, wrinkles or even cellulite?  If so this is going to sound crazy, but I read today a cheaper product that will help either get your eyes less puffy, wrinkles to disappear and cellulite not look as bad.  (I did read it could also help cold sores too)   So do you know what the cure could be?!?  You will never guess…. it’s hemorrhoid cream!   

I never would of thought about putting hemorrhoid cream on my face, but if you think about it what does hemorrhoid cream do?  It tightens and shrinks tissue there for making the skin not as puffy and smoother.   I did read to be very careful when putting it around your eyes or on your lips (for a cold sore).   You are suppose to wash & dry your face and make sure all your make up is removed.  For the bags under the eyes apply a small amount under the eye area and let it sit for 20-30 minutes.  Wash off gently & pat dry.   For a cold sore, just dab a little on the spot and whatever you do.. DON’T LICK IT!   Let it sit for a few minutes and if you think you might end up licking it on accident, wipe it off and make sure there is no residue left.

Do you have something around the house that you use that’s not what it’s suppose to be meant for?  If so, please do share!
