Kitchen remodel about to begin. We just ordered our new SS range and over the range microwave. There will be 16 inches of clearance from the bottom of the microwave unit to the cook top (smooth top,electric) . Hubby is worried there won't be enough clearance to work on the back burners of the stove.
What You Do: 1  Cut the soap base into 1 inch cubes, about 1 cup's worth, and place them into the Pyrex measuring cup. 2  Take 10 or 20 petals and put a toothpick through the base of each one of them. You will use the toothpick as a handle so leave it in the petal. 3  Place the soap in the microwave and heat it for 30 second intervals.
Repellent for Humans. A simple homemade repellent can be made with a few inexpensive household ingredients. In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups of distilled white vinegar and 1 cup of water. To make a scented solution so you do not smell like bitter vinegar all day, add 20 drops of your favorite essential oil or bath oil. Eucalyptus oil is a calm, soothing scent that also works as a tick repellent, while peppermint and citrus oils give off a strong crisp scent that also repel ticks. After mixing the solution, spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before going outdoors.
