Hey Everyone!

Whether you pick them from the yard or grab a bunch at the supermarket, sunny tulips are certain to brighten any corner of your home!

The pro secret to beautiful blooms?

Wrap the stems in a sheet of newspaper, then place them in a vase filled with cold water for one hour. This allows the tulips to hydrate in an upright position so they stay relatively straight, which makes them look livelier.

After an hour, remove the paper and display.

Hint 1: Banish back aches by taking a load off

Sounds too good to be true, but shirking your responsibilities for extra downtime eases backaches now and helps prevent discomfort later.

AND reach for a pillow...placing a pillow under your knees (for back sleepers) or between your knees (for side sleepers) removes 55 pounds of pressure from your back, allowing inflamed tissues to heal while you snooze.

Have you tried a body pillow before? Whether you're a side, back or stomach sleeper, this body pillow adjusts to your unique shape for custom comfort from head to toe.

Body Pillows are Supportive, Comfortable, and NEVER Loses Its Shape!

Hint 2: Banish Blemishes with a Honey Spot Treatment

There is a lot more to honey than being sweet! The natural sweetener has natural anti-septic, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties!

Its anti-bacterial properties can help fight acne-causing bacteria, and because honey keeps the skin very well-hydrated and balanced it helps control the production of oil!

Try It! Mix 2 crushed aspirin tablets with 1 tsp of honey to form a paste. Apply onto blemishes and let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing with water.

'Go Green' Hint: Cover pans when cooking:

Whenever you cook on the hob, always try to cover the pans - this reduces the amount of energy that escapes from open pans, plus the amount of time it takes to heat up food and boil water.
