Uses Of Toothpaste

Uses of the Tooth Paste that you Never Know-----

 Beauty Uses Toothpaste contains many useful ingredients that can be soothing and healing to the skin. For this reason, you'll be able to use too the paste
to help you with the following issues:

 1) Pimples. Reduce redness and the size of your pimples with a dab of toothpaste. Let it sit overnight, then rinse away in the morning for a noticeable difference.

2) Brittle fingernails. Since our nails are made of the same enamel as teeth, toothpaste can do a lot to help them. Simply give your nails a good scrub with some toothpaste for cleaner, shinier, stronger nails. You'll also get that dirt out from underneath them in no time!

 3) Fly-away hair. A gel toothpaste is largely made with the same ingredients as basic hair gels, so you'll be able to substitute easily here. Just use a little dab and apply like a hair gel when needed.

First Aid Uses Beyond beauty care, you'll also find helpful ways to use toothpaste in that first aid kit. Keep a small tube tucked inside your kit for these emergencies:
 4) Bites, sores, and blisters. Apply toothpaste to areas of skin irritation to reduce itching, swelling, and irritation. Toothpaste will dry them up quickly and help them heal faster.

 5) Burns. For minor burns with no open sores, a quick toothpaste application can give you instant relief. The cooling properties get to work right away, relieving that painful sting. In the long-term, toothpaste will keep the burn from becoming a painful, oozing blister.

 6) Bruises. For large bruises that take forever to fade, use a little toothpaste and a wide-tooth comb. Apply the toothpaste and gently comb the bruise in one direction to break up the blood clotting beneath the skin. Toothpaste helps with circulation and fights off the inflammation. Fashion Uses Our clothing and accessories can also benefit from many of the ingredients found in the average tube of toothpaste.

 7) Jewelry cleaner. Before you pay for someone else to clean it, rub toothpaste onto your silver jewelry and leave it overnight, the wipe it clean with a soft cloth. Give a light scrubbing to your diamonds to see them sparkle again, just be sure to rinse thoroughly. Avoid using toothpaste on pearls.

 8) Show care. Scuffed or dirty shoes can look new again with a little toothpaste. Apply it directly to the dull, dirty, or scuffed parts of the shoe, scrub with a brush, and wipe them clean. Ta-da!

 9) Clothing stains. Tough stains will disappear with a little toothpaste and some brisk scrubbing. Squeeze it right on the stain and rub until it disappears, then wash as normal. If using whitening toothpaste, be advised that this can have a bleaching effect on some colors and fabrics. Household uses : Toothpaste can save you money around the house by helping with some very basic tasks:

10) Computer cleaner. Scrub away fingerprints from your keyboard with a white, baking soda-based toothpaste. Follow up with a damp cloth and your keys are good as new!

 11) Iron cleaner. Take away the "crusties" from the bottom of your clothes iron with a quick toothpaste rinse. Just be sure to remove all the toothpaste before you start ironing again.

12) Piano keys. Like computer keys, piano keys get grubby with repeated use from the dirt, oil, and grime on our fingertips. Use a damp cloth and some toothpaste to rub down the keys, then wipe them clean with a dry cloth.

13) Crayon stains. Undo your kids' damage to the walls with a damp cloth and some toothpaste. Rub it in gentle circles and watch the crayon fade away.

 14) Odor removal. After cooking with "stinky" foods in the kitchen (fish, garlic, onions, etc.), getting the smell out of the skin is a challenge. Wash your hands thoroughly with water and toothpaste for a quick and easy remedy.

daily routine

Since the time I thought I needed a routine, I actually started working towards it and now I am kind of set though in a routine.

I cleaned laundry, bathrooms, kitchen and fixed other stuff.  I even planned a menu with an intention to keep changing the menu every week or else life would be boring especially for me.

Now.. I have set days to do the chores.

On weekdays,  I wake up at around 5.15am though alarm rings at 5am, after brushing , showering, perform solat etc. I straight go to kitchen to prepare breakfast  and lunch for my husband and also for me as it is difficult for me to prepare lunch with my kid in the afternoon  . .

Next ,wake up my son at 6am and get him ready for school .


Leave him at Kafa ( religious school) at 7.30am and  I return  home.
Then I will start my routine as below:-
After this I broom the walkway .

Cleaning Schedule
 I have assigned each day to do chore around the house .
By 10.30am I go and fetch my son from Kafa .

By 12.30am send him to school which is just 15 mins walking distance from my house.

An hour for Internet .

Before my son  come home, I keep ready their snack and make dinner.  After snack kids go out to play and are home by 7.00pm. Then I get ready for Magrib prayers together with kids followed by Isha prayers.
Around 8.30pm we have dinner and then I wind up the day with cleaning kitchen which takes 15 mins since I have followed a routine of doing everday even though it does not look bad to me. Just do it!!

By 9.00pm I am able to be with my son while he do his homework.. Preparing a glass of milk for both of them and change their dress. Next they go to bed at 9.30pm.  I sleep around 10.30pm after surfing internet.

So, ladies my experience is with daily routine has more time to do other exciting stuff than slog in the Kitchen and house all the time..
