It Is Tip Time Again {Woman's World Magazine}

*Kansas State University study states that a pinch of cinnamon will zap 99% of stomach-flu triggers like E. coli or salmonella. Cinnamon's active ingredients--eugena and cinnamaldehydes are what does the trick. Add at least 1/2 teaspoon to food daily.

*A natural antacid in apples relives heartburn and discomfort.

*My tip: Save all of your change for a year. If you must have it then for at least 6 mnths....even is something costs $1.02 give them $2 and keep the change. I was doing this before Bank America started it.

*Start looking now for Christmas gifts. My favorite places online are www.100percentpure.com,
www.cooksvanilla.com, their Vanilla Powder is sensational....www.carolsrosegarden.com. The 100% Pure bars of pure soap are huge and they are only $6 a bar and I cut them lengthwise and I can use the bar for two months. That is only $3 a month and it is pure. You can find them in the shower gels page. Regular soap leaves film on our bodies. yuck.

*On a cool night make homemade chili.

*Start looking for sensational soup recipes for fall and winter and stock up each time you go to the market.

*Refrigerator odors? Place slices of stale bread {this will absorb odors} on the shelves and drawers and let it sit overnight. In the morning toss out the bread. This is a great tip and may be better than Baking Soda.........no but this will work in a pinch.

*Musty mildew? Leave a pile of charcoal criquettes {not the fast lighting kind} in a bowl overnight in your kitchen. The charcoal neutralizes scents and eliminates moisture, leaving your kitchen fresh. I guess this would work in an old closet too.

*Natural fresh herbs will also act as a natural deodorizer.

*Add vinegar to your rinse cycle while rinsing your new jeans, use half a cup and the acid helps set the indigo dyes. I do this with black clothing too.
