vinegar = miracle liquid...

last night i was plagued with itchiness from 2 bug bites on my lower back. the itch was so bad it woke me up--and then i couldn't get back to sleep. after tossing and turning (and scratching) for nearly an hour, i decided to get up and try a remedy i'd recently read about online--vinegar. a couple dabs and i was back in sleepytime business, with no itch at all. a miracle (or at least it felt like one at the time). i'm definitely bringing a bottle of the stuff on our upcoming camping trip!

vinger is WONDERFUL stuff - it has soo many powers! :)

It's also great for treating a sunburn - you can soak a washcloth and lay it on your skin or sprtiz it on (some people dilute with water, but I never have) :)

vinegar rules! we use it for everything.
also, i just remembered your post about being stinky, as a result of avoiding carcinogens in your personal care products, and, i must tell you: baking soda. omg, baking soda. no more stinky.
