What's Your Favorite Home Remedy?
There are plenty of simple, natural (and not to mention *CHEAP*) home remedies that can ease just about any ailments in your life. Before you run out to the drugstore, check this guide for a few fast fixes that are probably already lying around your house! Got a home remedy of your own? Add to this guide!
Want to Soothe a Sunburn?
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.)
White Vinegar
Not only will white vinegar bring relief to scorched skin, but is also great for cleaning and deodorizing your kitchen and bathroom.

Mosquito Bite Got Your Down?
Dab on a little laundry detergent to soothe the skin and dry the bite out.
Laundry Detergent
Forget cortisone cream…all you need is some laundry detergent!
Got Hiccups?
A spoon of peanut butter will do the trick.
Want Longer Lashes?
Why spend hundreds on Revitalash or eyelash extensions?
Castor Oil
There are tons of pricey lash-enhancing conditioners on the market right now, but supposedly rubbing castor oil on your lashes before you go to bed will strengthen and lengthen them, too!
Who knew?
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…
Mint Toothpaste
Another option to try on mosquito bites is toothpaste to give a cool feeling and avoid itchiness!
Tea Tree Oil
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.
