Spritz your lobster skin with white vinegar and let drip dry! Sounds crazy (and smells kinda weird), but it really works. (And the smell vanishes, too.)

Onions for Insomnia

I have yet to try this yet, but supposedly (I read it on this here world wide web thing), this is what you do to treat insomnia: chop up a yellow onion, place it in a jar with a lid, and when you’re feeling like a crazy insomniac, open it up and smell that onion! I have no idea what this does…

Tea Tree Oil

Widget_cmjgxaa7pmhp2gs58uxhrr

Tea tree oil seriously fixes any skin condition you could have. From insect bites to rashes to acne. Yes even though it’s an “oil” it actually doesn’t make your skin more oily. It helps tame oily scalps too. And get rid of infections I love the stuff and am pretty sure it could cure cancer if given the chance.
