OLD FOLKS SECRETS FROM THE KITCHEN!

https://www.huffingtonpost.com


I try to keep my bathroom and bedroom stocked 
with my favorite toiletries.  I'm not hung up on
brand names and buy house brand items if the
quality is good. There have been times when
I ran out of these items and it wasn't convenient
to run to the store.  

I remember my mom using things from the kitchen until she could get to the store. I swore I'd never do this when I became and wife and mother. I can still hear my mother warn, "Never say what you won't do!"  I discovered that using things from the kitchen can save the day when you are in a hurry.

Here are some items I used from my kitchen as part of my health and beauty regimen when in a pinch.
