4 Ways To Stop The Burn Of Spicy Foods

Most of us have made the same mistake. You bite down into an appetizer or a snack and realize it’s spicier then you thought! Our general first reaction is to reach for water first, hoping it will cool down the burn. But did you know that sometimes drinking water after  spicy food can make the burn worse? Water has a tendency to spread the burn around and make it burn stronger! So what do you head for next if water doesn’t work? Well check out the 4 ways below to find out how to stop the burn of spicy foods:

  1. Sugar: Sugar is a great way to end the spicy burn you feel after biting into a hot food item! Simply find a piece of gum or even small candies to cool the burn and get some relief!
  2. Milk: The fat in milk can really help when you are experiencing the burn of spicy food. Grab a tall glass of milk to soothe the pain. If you don’t have any milk on hand, most dairy products will work to the same effect such as  yogurt and cheese.
  3. Juice: Not all juices work to soothe the burn of spicy food but the number one choices are: Lime juice, lemonade, tomato juice or orange juice. This works mostly because of the acid present in the juices.  Have a tall glass and the burn will be gone before you know it.
  4. Bread: If you can’t find any of the above, a last option is to grab a slice of bread. The bread will absorb the spiciness of the item and the texture will help to cool your mouth and throat back to a normal temperature.

4 Non Nail Uses For Nail Polish Remover

When you think of nail polish remover, your mind might automatically go to manicures or pedicures. But funny enough nail polish remover isn’t just a one trick pony, it comes packed with several helpful uses. It can be used around the house, for stain removal and even on fine china! While it may sound crazy to use a beauty product outside of the beauty world, it can be really effective! Check out the 4 non nail uses for nail polish remover below:

  1. Stained China: That’s right, nail polish remover really can save your fine china. If you notice any staining or coffee marks, try scrubbing them with a small cotton ball dipped in polish remover and then wash as normal. With a little elbow grease the stains will come right off!
  2. White Out Saver: White out or any type of liquid paper correction fluid can get gummy and dried out quick! But don’t throw away that bottle just yet. Try adding a few drops of nail polish remover and shake the bottle vigorously. The nail polish remover will re liquefy the solution making it perfect for correcting those written typo’s!
  3.  Sharpie Remover: If you ever need to remove those pesky permanent marker marks, this is a great way to do so! Simply, rub the sharpie mark with a cotton ball dipped in nail polish remover for instant removal! (Make sure to spot test the area first, before diving in to the scrubbing step)
  4. Super Glue Remedy: Hopefully you won’t need to use this tip, but it’s great to keep in mind. If you ever get stuck in a sticky situation with super glue and skin, try using nail polish remover. The polish remover will work away at the super glue and quickly get you un-stuck.

  4. Using a pot lid, place it over top of the pumpkin and let the pumpkin cubes steam under the lid for about 15 minutes or until soft.
  5. Once the texture is soft, remove pumpkin from heat, drain the water and let the cubes cool till workable.
