| Here's What's New    You may not know that that unassuming little box of baking soda has big uses. Since it you can purchase it for under a dollar a box you will also save money using this little powerhouse in a box.  1. Heartburn Relief Mix a teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of water and drink when heartburn hits.  2. Fresh Cut Flowers Keep your beautiful flowers fresher longer by adding just a teaspoon of baking soda to the water in your flower vase.  3. Skin Care Apply with a powder puff, and you can use baking soda as a natural deodorant. You can add a cup to bathwater for softer skin or use for a face and body scrub by itself.  4. Skin Irritations Adding baking soda to your bath water will not only soften skin but help reduce minor skin irritations. Apply directly to skin for relief from poison ivy, insect bites, rashes, minor burns, and sunburn.  5. Odor Remover Offending odors will be kicked to the curb by using baking soda. Place in the fridge to absorb odors or sprinkle on ashtrays, boots, shoes, and slippers to keep things smelling fresh. Add a little baking soda to a wet dish cloth and whip up messes to prevent odors. If your dishtowels are smelly, soak them in baking soda and water before washing.  6. Bug Repellent Repel ants and cockroaches by sprinkling it around basement windows or under sinks.  7. An Alkalizing Drink Drinking water with a little bit of baking soda in it can help reduce the acidity of our bodies. If you can’t handle just straight baking soda in your water then try mixing it with a little bit of fruit juice and honey or stevia.  8. Cleaning the Bathroom Add a cup of baking soda to your toilet bowl and allow to sit for one hour before flushing. It will help to remove stains and deodorize. While you wait, use baking soda to scrub tile, countertops, and sinks. If your shower curtain needs to be freshened up then soak in hot water and baking soda.  9. Healthy Smile Add baking soda to your toothpaste to help your teeth feel amazing after brushing! You can even make your own toothpaste just using baking soda and coconut oil (and I add a drop of peppermint or wintergreen essential oil, but it’s definitely a STRONG flavor that you have to get used to.)  10. Remove Crayon Marks Use baking soda to remove crayon marks from vinyl floors and walls.  11. Drain Cleaner Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of baking soda in your drains followed by hot water to keep drains clean which will help keep them from clogging. You can do this weekly for optimum results.  12.
