Use Items in Your Kitchen for more than just Cooking! Part 1

                                        Olive Oil

  •  Fingernails. Use a bit of olive oil to moisturize cuticles, or mix oil and water and soak your hands before a manicure.
  • Control hair frizz. Comb a bit of olive oil through dry hair to tame the frizz and flyaways on humid days or in the winter.
  • Care for your kitty. Add a teaspoon of olive oil to your cat’s food to help prevent hairballs, and provide a shiny coat.
  •  DIY Lip balm. Mix olive oil and melted beeswax in a 1:1 ratio, with an essential oil for fragrance, and say goodbye to dry and chapped lips.
  •  As you bathe. Add a few tablespoons of olive oil to your running bath water. You’ll be amazed when you towel off.
  • Cure diaper rash. Gently wipe on olive oil to your baby’s bottom to help with the irritation of diaper rash.
