SHAREABLE Tip #10 - Cure UNDERARM ODOUR with Mouthwash

Mouthwash is not just for freshening your breath you know. It can help get rid of that foul smelling underarm odour as well. Who knew!

Cure UNDERARM ODOURS with Mouthwash!

Regular deodorants mask unpleasant underarm

odours with a heavy perfume smell but do little

to attack the cause of the problem.

To get rid of the bacteria that cause perspiration odour,

dampen a cotton ball with a sugarless,

alcohol-based mouthwash

and swab your armpits.

If you’ve just shaved your armpits,

it’s best to wait for another day to try this.

Prudhommes Antique & Flea Market – VINELAND (In Photos)

(See Part 2 – “The BARN Opening”.)

If you love antiques, bargain hunting, looking for that special collectible item or just plain love the thrill of this whole experience, this is the place for you!

Located on the North Service Road, just off the Victoria Avenue exit of the QEW highway, there are two houses that can be seen – one an old Victorian mansion and both with the signs ‘ANTIQUES’ placed on them. It’s the Prudhommes Antique & Flea Market and even though it’s open all year round, you get to experience even more when you visit during the summer.

During the summer months, there are an additional 12 small outdoor cabins that are opened up which makes the atmosphere for visitors even more pleasant as the beautiful Lake Ontario can be seen in the background.

Driving into the market, you could see the vendors with their merchandise set up on the lawn. I must admit, I wasn’t really into antiques (as I get older, I’m starting to appreciate them more and more), but I was nevertheless so excited! I thought to myself, who knows what one will find in a place like this!

Prudhommes Antique Market is home to 25 vendors offering a wide selection of antiques & collectibles from furniture, glass, china, jewelry, tools, music-related items to vintage clothing and signs… and everything in between!

SHAREABLE Tip #9 - CHIA, The Super Seeds!

Chia white seeds may be tiny, but they sure pack a big punch! Came across this tip while browsing through a local magazine.

CHIA – The Super Seeds!

According to research conducted by the brand Salba on white chia seeds, gram-for-gram they have more omega-3 fatty acids than salmon, more antioxidants than blueberries and more calcium than whole milk.

They’re also an excellent source of filling fibre.” – Theresa Albert

And since they’re tasteless, they can be easily added into everyday foods including oatmeal, muffins, stews, soups and even smoothies! Work your way up to a tablespoon a day.

SHAREABLE Tip #8 – Prevent ITCHY SCALP When Dyeing Your Hair with 'Sweet 'N Low'

Apparently, this neat little trick has been used by many hair stylists for decades and I have only heard about it now. Most claims it works well.

It’s all about lowering the pH acidity level and neutralizing the ammonia in these hair dyes which contain high pH values – usually around 11.

Sweet ‘N Low however, contains saccharin, dextrose and cream of tartar – all which have a very low pH:

• Cream of tartar (potassium bitartrate): about pH 3.5
• Saccharin: about pH 2
• Dextrose: about pH 3.5 – 5

Now I’ve read some have added anywhere from 2-4, even 5 packets per hair dye mixture depending on the brand. You’ll just have to experiment yourself I guess! 

Did You Know – Saccharin was once banned in Canada for decades? It was ‘quietly’ re-introduced in 2014.

Prevent ITCHY SCALP when Dyeing Your Hair with
Sweet ‘N Low

Dyes can cause an itchy scalp.

To avoid aggravation add

a packet (or two) of Sweet ‘N Low to the

colour mixture before applying!

Saccharine balances dye’s acidity,

quelling itchiness! S-weet!
