- if you have a big red pimple in a visible place, dab some toothpaste on it (preferably the white paste kind) and let it dry. Leave it on as long as is feasible, and it will remove most of the redness and swelling.
- if you have pollen allergies, eat local honey to build up an immunity. I've tried this and apart from being no hardship, it really works!
- burned, greasy bits on pans you don't want to scrub with steel wool will respond well to being scrubbed with salt, dry rice, or eggshell and a little water (you can also use soap and rice/eggshells to clean inside a narrow-necked vessel)
- windows and mirrors dry streak-free if you wipe them with newspaper instead of cloth
- to quickly figure out if a blouse will fit you, hold it up to your front and wrap it around you. If the side seams reach comfortably to the vertical midline of your torso (covering the sides of your breasts completely), you're probably good to go! I am amply furnished and hate wasting my time trying to wiggle into blouses that have enough room everywhere else and NONE for my breasts.
- if you like rings or other jewelry with a lot of little glued-in bits of crystals or whatever, make sure the bits all stay in place by putting a few coats of clear nailpolish over the piece

I love these sorts of information swaps. *g*
