8 Genius Tricks To Get Rid Of That Fat, Ugly Lizard In Your Home

You draw the curtains and an ugly, black lizard slithers from under it and takes a menacing position from the adjacent wall, poised to leap on you if you dared move. Cold fear grips you, and your heart pumps more blood that it did in the last 48 hours.

Domestic lizards are those slimy beings that sneak into unsuspecting places such as your cupboard or a kitchen shelf, practically anywhere when you sit down to relax after a gruelling day. The idea of them crawling on the wall against which you sit makes your stomach turn, and you have half a mind to skip dinner.

Don’t have to die of a heart attack the next time this filthy little thing creeps up on you. Just follow these super effective tips.

1. Do up your house with egg shells. Your creativity can keep lizards at bay

This is not an old wife’s tale, scattering egg shells around the house in strategic places will keep these pesky reptiles at bay. The smell of raw eggs drive lizards away. So if you have eggs for breakfast everyday, save those shells, and put them up near doors and windows.

2. Coffee and tobacco, a lethal combination – for your homely lizards

A concoction of coffee and tobacco powder, rolled into a ball, is enough to annihilate the problem altogether. Stick them up on toothpicks or matchsticks and scatter them around in strategic points in your house and your lizard will die the moment it licks it.

3. Not just vampires, even lizards stay away from garlic

The little reptiles in your house cannot tolerate the smell of garlic. Keep cloves of garlic near doors and windows, or hang garlic around your house to keep them away. You can make a spray of garlic juice and water, and that too is quite effective.

4. Not just pervs on the street, pepper spray works on lizards as well

This one is very easy to put together, mix ground black pepper with water and some chilli powder, and shake well. Your anti-lizard spray is ready. Spray it around the house, or wherever you suspect these ugly pests nest, and there won’t be another lizard in your house.

5. Naphthalene balls work on lizards too

Not just little insects, naphthalene balls repel lizards too. The pungent smell of naphthalene balls drives away lizards aside from the little bedbugs and pets. So always keep naphthalene balls handy.

6. Cold water can be too cold for a lizard

Just splashing some icy-cold water on them can stop the lizard in its tracks and make it immobile. Cold water has a shocking quality, which we reckon, works most on lizards. The moment they freeze in their positions, dispose them off.

7. Tabasco in barbeque maybe a good idea for you. But not for your lizard

Mix some Tabasco with water and put it in a spray bottle. Spray it behind the cupboard, behind your curtains, that book shelve, everywhere you expect them to turn up, and see the result. The spicy mixture repels the creepy crawlies and they are driven out of the house.

8. Do up your interiors with bird feathers. That ugly lizard will not appreciate

Birds are natural predators of lizards. So, in case you are thinking of getting rid of this disgusting reptile on your bedroom wall, decorate your home with bird feathers, peacock feather in particular. The lizard would think of them as a real bird and stay away from your home.

Your home can really be lizard free, believe us!

99%的人都不知道...去痘去斑的免費SKII原來在你家！後悔看晚了阿！

淘米水，這個常見的不能再常見的東西，沒人不熟悉吧？但你家的淘米水，會不會經常遭遇被「無情拋棄」的命運，直接就進下水道了啊？如果是的話，看完這篇博客，咱可不興再浪費了哈。

淘米水的作用可是非常多的,下面介紹下淘米水的七大妙用:

用淘米水洗頭

最好是糯米的淘米水，把它放置三四天，洗頭的時候先把頭打濕，再把淘米水塗上去按摩，淘米水的味道會不好聞，你可以再用檸檬泡的水沖洗頭髮，可以起護髮的作用，而且還有股清香。

用淘米水洗頭髮是傣族民間保養頭髮的一個驗方，其實用淘米水洗東西大家並不陌生，很多人都試過用淘米水洗碗洗肉什麼的，又乾淨又環保，而且還去油去污，這是因為淘米水中有很多的小顆粒，而這些小顆粒能夠吸附髒東西，所以特別能去污；不過還有一點大家可能不太清楚的，就是為什麼長期使用淘米水洗頭髮，頭髮不容易變白呢？這是因為淘米水中含有非常豐富的B族維生素，而B族維生素能夠幫助頭髮的色素細胞生成黑色色素，所以就能夠幫助頭髮變黑了；還有人可能會問了，為什麼一定要用糯米的淘米水，而且為什麼一定要發酵變酸呢？這樣因為傣家人非常喜歡吃糯米，而且在中國的南方米裡面，糯米的油脂比大米的要多，不過，在北方生活的人，您用大米來做淘米水也是可以代替的；再有一個非常關鍵的步驟就是發酵的過程，一定要讓它發酵變酸，因為發酵變酸以後洗頭髮的淘米水就成弱酸性了，而這弱酸性的淘米水對頭髮是具有保護作用的。如果是鹼性的話是會傷頭髮了，用淘米水洗頭髮還要把它放在那發酵變酸，需要好幾天的時候，覺得非常的麻煩。還有一個小竅門，那就是在淘米水中滴幾滴醋，這樣就能夠起到不錯的保養的效果了，這樣一來擁有一頭美麗的頭髮也就不難了。

淘米水洗臉

每天早晚用淘米水洗臉，並長期堅持，就能達到美膚作用，改善很多皮膚問題。比如長痘痘，色斑，鼻子黑頭等。而且，不管什麼人用，都不會過敏。

不過，洗臉用的淘米水，可不是隨隨便便咋用都行的，方法如下，看下唄：

把大米放入容器中，倒入水搓洗後，將第一次的淘米水倒掉。然後再倒入一次水，搓洗後留下第2次淘米水，倒出備用。將淘米水經過一夜的沉澱後，取乳白色的淘米水倒入臉盆中（底部的沉澱不要）。加入與淘米水等量的的溫水混合後，就可以用來洗臉啦。

小編叮嚀：淘米水在夏季（或冬季房間很熱的情況下），需要放在冰箱冷藏中沉澱一夜的時間。但注意只能保存1天，超過2天，淘米水會發酵變質。

淘米水做大醬湯

把大米洗淨後，將第一次的水倒掉。再一次加水，用手搓到水變白倒入鍋中。用這種第二遍的淘米水來煮大醬湯，更有營養，味道也更鮮美。

淘米水泡木耳

用淘米水浸泡木耳，更加有助於木耳的漲發，同時，還能起到很好的清潔作用。（如果木耳很髒，用淘米水浸泡，或用放了少量澱粉的水浸泡，都能起到很好的去髒效果） 

淘米水洗肉

從市場上買回的肉，有時上面會沾著塵土，或一些雜質，用40度左右的淘米水清洗兩遍，再用清水沖一下一遍，肉就會被清洗的非常乾淨啦。

淘米水洗菜板

菜板用久了，會產生異味，尤其是長期用來切肉，或肉菜，生熟混用的菜板。

將菜板放入淘米水中浸泡10分鐘，然後在菜板上撒一些鹽，用清潔布反覆擦洗，再用浸泡過菜板的淘米水沖淨即

可。最後，如果再用開水沖燙一下菜板，起到消毒的作用，就更加理想啦。

淘米水澆花
淘米水中含有大量的澱粉，維生素和蛋白質，平時用來澆花，做為給花草的一種營養來源，既方便又實惠。

11 Totally Brilliant Health Cures You Never Knew

From sticking your tongue out to curehiccups to using alcohol to cure sweaty feet, here’s a selection of fast fixes to help beat some of your day to day ailments.

Brilliant health cures you never knew

Let the sun banish your bruises

Have you ever noticed bruises disappear quicker on holiday? That's because sunshine helps break them up.

Ultra violet rays break down bilirubin, which is the product of a haemoglobin breakdown that causes the yellowish colour of a bruise.

Bruises can also be a sign of Vitamin D deficiency - a vitamin that we get from the sun - so as well helping bruises heal, some sunbathing could also help prevent further problems.

Stick your tongue out to hiccups

Hiccups can be funny at first but if a shock or drinking your drink upside down doesn’t stop them, then sticking your tongue out could.

Hiccups occur when the diaphragm contracts quickly causing air to be sucked in, which in turn snaps the vocal cord shut and makes the ‘hiccup’ sound.

Sticking your tongue out can cure the problem because it stimulates the opening between the vocal cords, which in turn helps stop the spasms.

A tea a day keeps puffy eyes at bay

Puffy eyes can be a real irritation, especially during the summer months, but there are plenty of quick fixes if you're not planning cosmetic surgery.

Tea bags are perfect for helping reduce swelling thanks to the natural tannins, which act as an astringent - just make sure you cool them down first!

Prevent body odour and bites with your deodorant

When insects strike we don't always have bite sprays to hand -  but there's something else which may be able to help.

Rubbing alcohol on the bite can help dry it out and reduce the itch, while deodorant can also immediately relieve any discomfort.

That’s because these contain aluminium chloride, which is effective in stopping the pain and swelling associated with mosquito bites.

Banish warts with duct tape

No one likes suffering with warts, so the news that duct tape gets rid of them quicker than freezing them off is great news.

A study published in Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine found it eliminated 85% of the warts after 2 months, compared with 60% with the freezing method because chemicals in the tape suffocate and kill the unsightly growth.

Every three days the tape was removed and dead skin filed down until the wart disappeared.

See the back of your spots with aspirin

We know aspirin can help prevent heart attacks but it seems they can also help with spots thanks to the salicylic acid, which constricts blood vessels and reduces inflammation.

Crush a tablet and mix into a paste using water then apply to spots and redness. Cover the area with a plaster and after 30 minutes everything should be less visible.Ditch the coffee (REX)

Ban coffee and spice to keep smelling nice

If you suffer from excessive sweating, changing your diet could help.

As well as stimulating your taste buds, spicy foods and strong coffee can also spur your sweat glands into action.

"Caffeine and spices can activate neurotransmitters, called acetylcholine, which are located in your brain,” says Kelley Redbord, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist.

“Anything that stimulates these neurotransmitters can sometimes affect the glands that cause sweating.”

Honey - the perfect sweetener after a burn

Honey is a real multi-tasker and something we should all have in the cupboard - not least for when we are craving a sweet treat - but it is also a great relief for burns.

As well as drawing out fluid, scientists at the University of Auckland, in New Zealand (published by the Cochrane Library) found it encouraged the body to shed old skin and grow new skin in its place.

Wipe away your smelly feet - with vodka!

If you suffer with smelly feet, wiping them down with an alcohol soaked cloth could help.

As well as being an antiseptic to kill off any fungus and bacteria, the alcohol also dries too. This will prevent the moisture that can act as a breeding ground for bacteria.

Olive Oil - good for the heart and the skin

Everyone has Olive Oil in their cupboard and as well as being a must in the kitchen it also has real healing properties for Eczema sufferers. 

It moisturises for starters but is also packed with antioxidants that can help soothe flare-ups, when applied directly to the area. It can also help prevent and repair damage that can lead to wrinkles and brown spots. 

Music makes the heart happier

Listening to your favourite music every day can help reduce your blood pressure, according to research from the University of Florence.

Researchers found that people on a medication for hypertension lowered their blood pressure by an extra 3.2 points a week by listening to music for just 30 minutes a day.

Weirdest Home Remedies That Actually Work

9 Weirdest Home Remedies That Actually Work      1) Listerine cures toenail fungus Soaking your feet in Listerine mouthwash for 15-20 minutes, twice a day, will cure most cases of toenail fungus. Listerine contains antiseptic and disinfectant ingredients; it has been used for everything from curing gonorrhea to cleaning floors.   Listerine is also good for curing blisters (dab onto blister 2-3 times per day to dry it out), and dandruff.     2) Yogurt cures bad breath Studies have shown that live bacteria in sugar free yogurt can suppress levels of bad breath-causing bacteria. If the bad bacteria can't survive, your breath smells sweeter.     3) Olive oil cures Eczema Olive oil is rich in vitamin E, so it's a great skin moisturizer. Apply extra virgin, unrefined olive oil to your skin after showering, while your skin is still damp. The olive oil seals in moisture and helps soothe painful Eczema flair-ups.     4) Sugar stops the hiccups Hiccups are annoying, but now you can stop them within one minute simply by swallowing a teaspoon full of dry sugar. Experts believe that the sudden sweetness on the tongue overloads the nerve endings in the mouth and stops the hiccup spasm.     5) Chewing peppermint or cinnamon gum eases commuting stress Studies have shown that chewing peppermint or cinnamon gum increases awareness and reduces fatigue by as much as 20%. Test subjects reported 25% less frustration and 30% increased alertness. The drive also seemed 30% shorter for those who chewed the gum, versus those who did not.     6) Biting on a pencil cures headaches Tension headaches can often arise from unconsciously clenching your jaw. Gently holding a pencil between your teeth forces your jaw muscles to relax, easing your headache.     7) Vodka cures stinky feet Wipe your feet with a vodka-soaked rag to eliminate foot odor. Vodka contains alcohol, an antiseptic that is very drying. Alcohol destroys odor-causing fungus and bacteria and dries out the moisture that lets these organisms grow.     8) Olives and lemons cure sea sickness Motion sickness causes excess saliva, which can make you queasy. Eating olives or sucking on a lemon at the first signs of sea sickness can help ease nausea thanks to the tannins contained in these items.     9) Tomatoes cure acne Tomatoes have a lot of vitamins C and A, antioxidants and acidic content, so they can be used to treat a variety of minor skin ailments. This cure is especially good for oily skin. Mash one small tomato into a pulp, then spread the pulp on your face and let it sit for one hour. Wash it off with tepid water and pat dry. Repeat once a day for a week.
