Everyday uses of Alcohol

Posted Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Here are some tips for the Frugal, Fine and Fabulous one product mini uses.

Alcohol, if  grandma used it, you know it had a good quality.

I used to take the pads from the dr’s office and put them in my purse,lol. Now-a-days I faithfully buy them myself. There’s so many uses to them..

A mixture usually consisting of 70 percent isopropyl or absolute alcohol, applied externally to relieve muscle and joint pain.”

It can also be used for cleaning your printer heads.

Rubbing Alcohol, used properly, can be used as a disinfectant. Hospitals and medical professionals use it often to wipe off their equipment, such as a stethoscope, that is used regularly and cannot easily be sterilized between uses. At home it is useful when someone is sick (or not), for example, take all areas where people use items constantly, such as doorknobs, telephones, kitchen cabinet handles, refrigerator, tv remote control and TOYS. Using a disposable towel or paper towels, cleanse the touchable items with rubbing alcohol, it usually kills GERMS and BACTERIA and keeps common areas A LOT cleaner, and generally will keep GERMS from spreading. It is particularly useful in bathroom areas. Naturally keep areas well ventilated. It is a quick and easy solution to disinfecting home or OFFICE. And it dries very quickly without leaving a smelly after odor (like bleach).

Use rubbing alcohol to help dry up a cold sore. Apply when the cold sore appears until it becomes dry and it will shorten the life and begin to fall off. Takes about a week instead of two.

To clean windows and other household appliances when mixed with baking soda and vinegar.

To get grease out of a carpet, apply rubbing alcohol and lightly rub in a circular motion with a clean rag until spot is gone. Always Check for colorfastness first!

Rubbing alcohol disinfects your skin and if you are giving yourself a shot or something it’s so that it doesn’t get infected

I carry it in a small spray bottle and use it to sanitize shopping carts, or use after using a public restroom or on the table at a restaurant. Any place that could have germs during flu and cold season.

You can use rubbing alcohol to wipe off the oil your skin puts on a surface before you paint to prevent fisheyes.

You can use rubbing alcohol to remove permanent marker on plastic, or glass. Be careful of the percentage you are using with plastic. Test an area first. Certain plastics can get gummy.

Rubbing alcohol can be used to remove nail polish and also permanent marker from smooth surfaces (I use it on burnt CDs that I accidentally mark wrong)

You use rubbing alcohal for many things but it is mainly used for disinfecting cuts and scrapes

Enjoy and use it to the fullest!!

I have to share you with this wonderful coffee shop located in Greenville, SC. Before I tasted the coffee I was on awe! The place was decorated with one of my favorite colors “RED”! I knew from this point the coffee was going to be DIVVAlicious!! Not only did they serve specialty coffee they also offered specialty homemade gelato, breakfast and lunch. I only stopped for coffee but the Gemini in me, wanted coffee and gelato.. Ummmm I taste the gelato now as I type! I was torn from two of the flavors I sampled so I opted for both Pancotta and Pink grapefruit sorbet. It was so worth trying them both, I washed the gelato down with a hot cup of the house special coffee! Smooth and Yummy! Can’t wait till the Atlanta franchise opens!!

Besides the Divvalicious Coffee and Gelato the thing that touches my heart the most about this cute coffee shop is their mission!

Touch the Ground Foundation. Saving Lives One Cup at a Time!

The Foundation is already supporting medical clinics, missionaries, schools, orphanages and feeding starving families in 27 countries around the world. Every cent of profit after taxes is being dedicated to reaching out even further and deeper, into all cultures, to help humanity live a healthier and more fulfilling life.

While I was there they were collecting food and money for the Hunger Hurt Campaign (www.helphungerhurts.com). Their giving does not stop there!

I love Liquid Highway, doing good while serving great coffee!!

I give them 10 Sips! Their cups are full of joy and love.

Did I mention how sweet and helpful the staff was? If you’re in the area, stop by and treat yourself to a cup of joy!

Triumph Tunes Tuesday

Posted Thursday, September 10th, 2009

notesI get so many emails of thanks for the morning inspirations I send out. I’d thought I start sending a little inspiration in the form that helps me the most….. MUSIC

Every Thursday I’ll post 3 songs for Triumph Tunes Thursday!!

Why 3 songs? People are always saying death comes in 3’s, but I say the opposite. Life comes in 3’s for me.. 3 means so much to me… I realized that once I turned 33…For some of you I pray you get to enjoy life as much as you can and not wait until you’re in your 30’s to realize you potential and if you’re like me and accept your calling when you turn 30, remember those who are younger than you and share a little inspiration to lift them up..

What that being said, here’s your musical inspiration for this Thursday…

Absorb it in, relax, enjoy and have a Praise Worthy Prosperous Weekend!!!

Enjoy them. Live a little, Dance a little, Don’t Worry, Be Happy!!
