Well, new to us. It’s sad to come to an end but excitement always comes with the new. We move in August 17th and it couldn’t come soon enough. We’ve already got ideas for what we’re going to do with it.

Thanks Re-Nest.

  1. Lessen snoring: does your significant other snore? Offer them a few sips of olive oil before bed to help cut down on the noise.
  2. Soothe an earache: warm up the oil slightly and use a cotton swab to dab it in your ear
  3. Make your own lip goo: melt a little oil with beeswax and pour into a container.
  4. Stop the frizzies: a little bit of olive oil tames your hair. Use a little bit for everyday by applying a few drops to your hands and then running them through dry hair. On the weekends heat up a generous amount & work it through your locks. Let it sit for a half-hour and then shampoo.
  5. Banish dry skin: Use it in place of your regular moisturizer
  6. In the bath: Use a few tablespoons in the bath to leave your skin soft
  7. Shaving: Use it before shaving to lubricate your skin and afterwards to soothe it.
  8. Face scrub: Olive oil mixed with sugar or salt makes a great face scrub.
  9. Shiny nails: apply a few drops to your nails and then buff them for a shiny finish
  10. Make-up remover: swipe an oil soaked cotton ball over your face to remove your make-up and leave your skin moisturized
  11. Remove paint and gum from hair: rub a little oil in your hair
  12. Lessen the look of cellulite and speed up the tanning process: scrub problem areas with a mixture of used coffee grounds and olive oil
  13. Stop your cat’s hairballs: add a daily spoonful to your cat’s food to prevent hairballs and make his coat shiny
  14. Un-stick your zipper: lube the teeth with a few drops of oil to get it sliding again
  15. Polish wood: mix oil with lemon in the same proportion you’d use for salad (two parts oil to one part lemon juice), and using a soft cloth, apply it to your wood furniture to make it gleam.
  16. Condition leather: a few drops conditions your leather goods.
  17. Stop silverware from tarnishing: finish a polish job by rubbing it with olive oil
  18. Shine stainless steel: rub with olive oil to bring up the shine.
  19. Stop wax from sticking to your candlestick: rub it with a few drops of olive oil before inserting a candle and make clean up easier.
  20. Make garden clean up easier: apply a few drops to your tools before starting your gardening makes the clean up afterwards easier.
  21. Mosquito repellent: a little olive oil sprayed on your skin keeps the bugs at bay
  22. Lube your door’s hinges: a few drops will prevent a squeak.

Here’s a great performance of one of my favorite songs, The Wind Cries Mary.

And any chance to get their hands on some stuff for free will turn any designer into a compulsive freak. Especially the chance to get good stuff for free. Jos Buivenga is the designer of some great fonts and is giving most of them away for free. I highly recommend supporting him by purchasing some of his faces from MyFonts.com. They’re only $9.95.
