5 Plants That Repel Insects

As summer rolls in and we start spending more time on our balconies and decks, pesky insects start to come out! Luckily there is a way to fight these annoying intruders by planting certain plants in your home garden.  Check out the 5 plants that repel insects below and turn your garden or deck into a no bug zone:

1. Marigolds: Marigolds have a scent that can really throw insects off.  These flowers have a distinct smell and will deter most insects and especially mosquitoes when planted in your garden.
2.  Lemongrass: Lemongrass has an amazing lemony smell that most people love. But the lemony smell doesn’t appeal to insects and tends to keep them away! Plant this in bunches in a planter on your deck or directly into your garden.
3. Rosemary: Make sure to include rosemary next time your choosing your herbs for your herb garden.   It not only lasts all summer and in some climates in the winter, it is a great herb to use for cooking and it will repel insects and mosquitoes.
4. Mint: Having mint in your garden will scare away insects with it’s strong smell. As an added bonus you can rub a few mint leaves on your arms and legs and it will act as a natural bug repellent rub.
5. Catnip:  Cats everywhere love catnip as it appeals to there sense and makes them go a little crazy! But it can also be used to keep insects at bay. Similar to the mint when catnip is crushed it can be rubbed on your skin to repel insects.

How To Make Your Herbs Last Longer

As summer comes around, our gardens are starting to fill up with beautiful flowers and savory herbs. What I find is my herbs grow faster than I can use them and they tend to go bad before I get to them. This is one method that works really great for those who can’t use their herbs right and for those who love to cook with them.

Basically, you can take any herbs you have left over (Rosemary, Sage, Thyme Etc.) and put them into an ice cube tray. Then you can add chicken broth, olive oil, wine or water and pour it over the herbs in the ice cube trays.  Once you have them all packed up, throw them in the freezer until they have be come solid. Once they have frozen you can either leave them in the tray for use or you can pop each one out and store in a large Ziploc bag. These cubes are great for use in soups, stir-frys, sauces or really anything you want to add a little extra flavor to. They keep for a long time and can be really handy when your herbs are finished growing for the season.

20 Uses for Apple Cider Vinegar (Weight Loss, Acne, Hair, Skin, and MORE!)

Apple Cider Vinegar is extremely beneficial in MANY different ways. I use vinegar almost daily (see my post here for 50 things to do with vinegar) and I drink Apple Cider vinegar daily too.

Important – be sure to only use the natural Apple Cider Vinegar with the “mother” – this is the brand I use, Braggs and you can get it on Amazon or you can get it at your health food store.

Every day I drink 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with 8 oz of cold water (drink with a straw to protect the enamel on your teeth). You can add a little honey or agave if it’s too strong for you. When I refer to drinking it below, this is the concoction I am referring to.

Apple Cider Vinegar Health Benefits:

We will call it ACV for short….

1. Stomach ache – sip on 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with water. Due to its antibiotic properties it will help kill bad bacteria in your tummy. It may even contain pectin, which will soothe intestinal spasms.
2. Prevents Indigestion – Add 1 teaspoon of honey + 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar to warm water and drink 30 minutes before you eat.
3. Soothes Sore throat – Mix 1/4 Warm water with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar every hour.
4. Add Shine to hair – It will also clean it and remove build up from hair products and pollution. Fill a cup with 1 cup ACV and 2 cups water. Pour the solution through your hair after shampooing (2-3 times a week)!
5. Help regulate blood pressure and reduce bad cholesterol when you drink it regularly.
6. Use as a facial toner – Mix 1 part ACV with 2 parts water in a water bottle or jug with lid. Shake it up before you use it and pour some on a cotton swab (use after washing your face) and wipe on skin.
7. Weight Loss – Drinking ACV every day (sipping a drink all day) has been said to speed up metabolism and help you lose weight. Nutritionists also believe that combining Vitamin B6 and Lecithin with Apple Cider Vinegar is what helps.
8. Helps Body Odor – It helps adjust the skin’s pH level which helps to eliminate odor-causing bacteria. Take a cotton ball filled with ACV and wipe it directly on the part where you can body odor.
9. Foot Odor – Add 2/3 cup of ACV to a pan with warm water and soak your feet in it for 20 minutes.
10. Bad Breath – Add 1/2 tablespoon ACV into 1 cup of water and gargle every other day.
11. Diabetes – helps to control high blood sugar levels.
12. Cellulite – Mix 3 parts apple cider vinegar with 1 part Vitamin E oil and massage the into the skin two times a day.
13. Yeast Infections –
    • Add 1 ½ cups apple cider into a bathtub filled with lukewarm water and then soak in it for about 20 minutes. This is done once a day for 3 days.
    • After 3 days of soaking, make a mixture consisting of 1 ½ cups of water and 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. This time use as a vaginal douche two times a day for 5 days.
    • After a few days of douching, start to drink a glass of water mixed with 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar once a day. This can help prevent the occurrence of yeast infections.
14. Diarrhea – The pectin in ACV coats the inflamed colon lining. Add 2 tablespoons of ACV vinegar to some water in a large glass – can be taken 3 times a day when you have symptoms.
15. Acne: Apple cider kills bacteria, helps balance skin pH, and absorbs excessive oil from our skin. Use 1 part vinegar with 3-4 parts water. Apply to the skin using cotton swab and leave for ten minutes then rinse. Use 2 times every day.
16. Age spots: Blend and drain an onion in a bowl, and mix with an equal amount of apple cider. Apply with a cotton swab dipped in the mixture over the spots.
17. Cleaning House – Mix ½ cup of apple cider vinegar with one cup of water and you can use it to clean microwaves, bathroom tiles, kitchen surfaces, windows, glasses and mirrors. The mixture also works as a disinfectant.
18. Beat the Exhaustion from Working out – When you exercise, lactic acid can build up in the body, causing fatigue. Since ACV has amino acids, it can help reverse this. It also contains potassium and enzymes that can help relieve feeling tired. Try drinking some mixed with water after a workout.
19. High cholesterol  – A 2006 study showed evidence that vinegar could lower cholesterol
20. Hiccups – when you have a spurt of those annoying hiccups, drink some ACV with water.
21. Stuffy Nose – Sip some ACV and water. This helps sinus drainage.

• Rich in enzymes & potassium
• Naturally support a healthy immune system
• Helps control weight
• Promotes digestion & pH Balance
• Helps soothe dry throats
• Helps remove body sludge toxins
• Helps maintain healthy skin
• Helps promote youthful, healthy bodies
• Soothes irritated skin
• Relieves muscle pain from exercise

I spent some time…actually a lot of time at Dollar Tree and scoped out the “Good” and “Bad” buys. I also asked for YOUR opinions on the Raining Hot Coupons Facebook page and so many of you gave me some great tips on items you love and items you don’t really care for from Dollar Tree. Thank you all for your tips. Below you will learn what to spend your money on at Dollar Tree (this may apply to other dollar stores as well since they all kinda carry the same stuff). Enjoy…Also, I would love to read any other tips you have in the comments!  🙂

I am going to break it down into categories and different sections of the store. 

Household Cleaning:

Things to Buy:

• ANY of the L.A.’s Totally Awesome products – I had a TON of readers says that they are like magic. The spot remover works awesome and the oxygen power cleaner works as good as the other expensive brands. I recently purchased the Orange cleaners from them and it really is wonderful and quite awesome.  😉
• Fabric softener – believe it or not, this stuff smells great, comes in a big bottle for a buck and is perfect for refreshing couches, rugs, and even pets!
• The Works cleaner – I have not tried this but a lot of readers swear by it. I can’t wait to try it!
• Palmolive Dish soap – there are often coupons available for these so you will get a great deal.
• Sun detergent or dishwashing soap – again, these often have coupons so keep an eye out and if a coupon pops up, you will score a nice deal.

Pass on these:

• Brooms – the handles often break on these
• Garbage bags – a TON of readers had negative things to say about the garbage bags, the rip and tear easily.

Health & Beauty:

Things to buy:

• Pregnancy Tests – these work really well and have always worked for me as well as all the readers who also recommended them! 
• 3 pack loofah sponges (these are perfect for kid’s baths)
• Hair bows, ties, bobby pins, headbands
• Shaving Cream – this stuff really does work and smells pretty good! I love it for just $1!
• Close-Up mouthwash – this is the only brand I would recommend (the others are not so great)
• Triple Antibiotic ointment
• Hydrocortisone Cream
• Scotties tissue – these will often have coupons so you will get great deals
• Cotton pads
• Name Brand make-up – I have spotted Elf and Maybelline and once again Maybelline always has coupons!

Pass on these:

• Q-tips (this isn’t the brand but pass on them) they bend and are not strong and the cotton on the end is very fuzzy
• Off Brand Lotions
• Perfume and Cologne

Birthday Items:

Things to buy:

• Wrapping paper – I am shocked at how much wrapping paper has gone up in price so the $1 store paper is a great deal and you can get a few different designs!
• Gift Bags
• Cards
• Candles
• Streamers (these come with 2 so they are only $0.50 each!)
• Cups
• Birthday decor (party hats, balloons, invitations, favor bags, etc)
• Mylar balloons
• Tissue paper

Pass on these:

• Plastic utensils (they break easily although I do recommend the table liners which is in the same section)

Food and Candy:

Things to buy:

• Movie candy – stop by on the way to the movies and pick up the boxes of candy for just $1! You may be able to find these at Walmart for $0.97 but if you’re closer to a Dollar Store then you may want to stop there instead!
• Candy for Pinatas and Party favor bags – they have several bags of candy that have individually wrapped pieces so this is perfect for Birthday parties! For example, ring pops, suckers, avengers candy pieces and more.
• Popsicles – These have $1/1 coupons which makes them FREE!!
• Soda Pop – I love these, they are off brand but they are huge and perfect for Birthday parties. In my opinion they taste like Shasta.
• Popsicle Molds – a pack of 6 for just $1 – that’s awesome!
• Hormel Pepperoni – Once again, there are often coupon for $0.50 to $1 off which makes them only $0.50 or FREE!
• Drink mixes – these are fabulous, just add 1 to a water bottle and it flavors your drink…they even have sugar free.
• Seasonings – can’t go wrong for $1!

Pass on these:

• Check expiration dates on all the food items…sometimes they tend to have things that go past that date.  😐

Kitchen and Bath:

Things to buy:

• Tupperware
• Tubs and Bins for organizing
• Glass Vases
• Foil baking tins (perfect for Thanksgiving and way cheaper than other stores)
• 3 pack kid’s toothbrushes – there are often coupons that make the kid’s toothbrushes free and sometimes the come with travel cases and covers
• Bathroom Decor – for just $1, that’s a steal!
• Shower curtain – I have heard of people painting these and coloring them for the kiddos bathroom!
• Shower curtain hanging rings (not sure what they are called exactly but they hold up the curtain and are normally very pricey)
• Kid’s bubble bath – this stuff works great and lasts a long time!
• Hefty plastic bags – normally coupons for them which makes them a great deal
• Napkins – they come with a ton and work great
• Tupperware – can’t go wrong with these packs
• Mason Jars – you can do recipes in these, cookies jars, gifts, crafts and more!
• Plates, Cups, Mugs, bowls – this is great if you need to just get a few or want some variation in colors
• Kitchen Towels and Mits – look how cute these are in the picture above..I love the green and purple and for just $1!

Pass on these:

• Pie Tins (these are not good for baking because they tend to rust) ALTHOUGH, they are good for kids crafts and play.
• Candles – they don’t smell that good and even if they do in the store, the scent doesn’t last once lit in my opinion
• Coffee Mugs – I have heard from several readers that these leak and the lids don’t stay on
• Toilet Paper – this is usually very thing and doesn’t work all that well.  😳

Art and Supplies:

Things to buy:

• Large Activity Coloring books – these are very big and the kids will have a blast with them (some even have stickers)
• Teacher corner – there are great tools here for not only teachers but homeschoolers, preschoolers or just if you want to teach some fun stuff to your kids. They also have sticker books which would be great for chores!  😉
• Sewing kits with bags – $1…enough said!
• Pom poms, felt, foam board, craft supplies
• Safety pins – I hear these run out often so if you see them, snatch them up!
• Vinyl Decals for decorating and for kid’s rooms – these are SUPER cute and can totally change the look of room or bathroom for just $1…I say yes!
• Poster board

Pass on these:

•  Glue sticks – they tend to be dried out or dry out fast after opened
• Frames – these usually break when you are trying to even just put the photo in… see what I mean?
• Garage sale signs – I say no because you can easily look across the aisle and find the BRIGHT colored poster board priced at $0.69 then cut them in half and you’ve got 2 signs so just about $0.35 each instead of $1.
• Crayons – they don’t work… weird huh? No really, the color is super dull.
• Playdough – this stuff is usually dried out….if you find one that’s not, you’re lucky!
• School supplies – you can usually always get better deals from places like Staples, Office Max etc as long as you buy at the right time…starting in about July and August they offer $0.01 deals, freebies and more. Just watch Raining Hot Coupons and I post them all Summer long.

Miscellaneous:

Things to buy:

• 3 pack socks that makes each pair about $0.33 each!
• Disposal bags for when walking pets – you get a ton for super cheap
• Big bottle of Bubbles – lots of Summer fun with these!
• Flip Flops – now I can’t say these are going to last but I’ve found that most $1 flip flops anywhere you get them don’t last long. They are great for public pools, the beach, etc so you don’t have to worry about someone taking them.
• Puzzles – great for the kids or even party favors or Birthday party game gifts
• Pack of Littles Toys – I LOVE to use the packs of insects, glowing stars, dinosaurs, erasers, etc for Pinatas! They work out perfect because you get quite a few for just $1.

Pass on these:

• Toy Cars – these tend to be very cheap and break (the plastic is flimsy)
• Outdoor lights – this may seem like a great deal but they don’t last long at all
• Lighters – don’t really work long
• Goggles – the water seeps through  😐
• Batteries – don’t last
• Anything electronic – according to many readers opinions and my own, anything electronic never last long.

Hope that helps….do you have anything to add to the list?! I would love to hear….

7 Common Stains And How To Remove Them

Laundry can be a time consuming on its own, let alone when you throw in stains like chocolate or grass marks. If the stains aren’t removed prior to washing, you can seriously damage clothing or even worse ruin clothing for good. Luckily, there are easy ways to deal with the most common stains and you’ll get to save your favorite t-shirt from being tossed. Check out how to remove the 7 most common stains and save your clothing before it’s too late!

1. Ink: To remove ink from an article of clothing, apply hairspray to the stain and rub gently. Then run under cold water and throw it in with your laundry.
   
2. Coffee: Coffee stains happen to the best of us.  Create a mixture of 2 cups of cold water to a half teaspoon of vinegar, gently apply mixture with a sponge or cloth. Wash as normal.
3. Sweat:  A sweat stained shirt isn’t destined for the garbage, it can be saved! Use a combo of baking soda and water on the affected areas and throw in the laundry.
4. Red Wine: Did you know that red wine can be treated with white wine? All you have to do is treat the stain with a little white wine and then apply a pinch or two of salt. Rinse the item and rub right away before placing item in the wash.
   
5. Gum: Use an ice cube to freeze the gum right off the item of clothing. The gum should peel right off and clothing will be ready for the laundry. Note: Make sure to remove all gum before putting in the washing machine.
6. Blood: When blood ends up on an article of clothing make sure to rinse it with cold water right away, soaking if it’s a stubborn stain.After an hour or so pre treat with laundry detergent and wash as normal.
7. Grass: To remove pesky grass stains, soak in hot water to remove loose dirt. Then, apply 1 tablespoon of dish soap and 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide and let it soak for at least 10 minutes.  Give it a good scrub to remove the stain, repeat if stain is still visible and then wash as normal.

Unique Uses For Your Dishwasher

Our dishwashers are a vital tool in the kitchen and wash our dishes so we don’t have to do it by hand. This allows us to think less about housework and more about spending time with our families or other activities. But dishes aren’t the only thing you can put in your dishwasher! Check out the unique items you can put in your dishwasher below:

1. Baseball Hats: As they can get damaged in the washer, the dishwasher is the best place to wash them! Just make sure it goes in with other non food items.
2. Action Figures & Small Toys: Throw the toys in a mesh bag on the top rack to have them come our squeaky clean!
3. Flip Flops: You can hang plastic flip-flops off the top rack prongs to clean off everyday dirt and mud.
4. Rain Boots: Rain boots can be a big pain to clean! To wash them in the dishwasher, remove any liners in the boot and lay horizontally.
5. Ceramic Cabinet Knobs: Up for a deep kitchen clean? Your ceramic cabinet knobs can go in the silverware holder on your next load of dishes.
6. Hair Brushes: Throw your plastic hair brushes or combs in the dishwashers to sanitize them. Make sure the hair is removed to avoid clogging the drain.
7. Protective Padding: Shin pans, Knee guards & Mouth guards can all go on the top rack of the dishwasher.
8. Garden Tools: Wash your garden tools in the dishwasher to keep them clean and sanitized. Just remember not to throw in wood handled tools and don’t mix them with dishes.
9. Light Fixture Covers: This is a great way to get older light fixtures cleaned up and looking new. Make sure not to put them in if they are antique, painted or enameled.
10. Potatoes: It might sound a little weird but you can actually wash your potatoes on the top rack of your dishwasher. Make sure you don’t add detergent and use the rinse only feature and you have a bulk amount of potatoes clean in no time!
