Aluminum Foil

Do you know there are a ton of uses for aluminum foil? Well there are. You can use it for just about anything except for a substitute for a cell tower. You can wrap foil around the arms of your glasses when you dye your hair to keep from staining your frames. You can use heavy-duty foil to clean out your fireplace. Place a double layer in the bottom of the fireplace or just under the wood grate and when it’s full of ashes just fold up the foil and throw it away.

Foil can help you move furniture on a smooth surface too. Just put small pieces of foil under the legs, dull side down, and push the piece across the room. You can find lots more uses for foil here.

A Couple Reasons Why..

Here are a couple reasons why you should always use the plastic/rubber exam gloves that come in the boxes of hair dye.

A girl I worked with dyed her hair without using those gloves. She used black dye. Yep.. you guessed it.. she ended up with her hands stained with that dye and it took months for it to finally fade away.

Another dummy (me) never used the gloves when I dyed my hair (when I was much younger). The blond dye I used had peroxide in it and my fingertips always turned white from the peroxide. I use the gloves now without fail. It’s bad enough I forget to use gloves when I clean my kitchen. Lesson learned!

Always use gloves when dying your hair or using harsh cleaning products.
