Hallmark has a line of magnets out for just about everyone in your life! This week a crafter friend of mine brought over a little magnet of love to brighten my day.
I have bought other magnets from the same Hallmark line, and they have been a huge hit with friends and family.
How do I keep my fresh cut flowers alive? And does a penny and an aspirin tablet placed in the vase water really do any good?
Some say the combination does keep flowers fresh longer. The theory is that the copper acts a fungicide and the aspirin makes the water more acidic.
Here are more food + acid combinations:
Add one part lemon-lime soda (not diet) to 3 parts water. Then to each quart of this solution, add 1/4 teaspoon bleach. Thereafter, add 1/4 teaspoon bleach after each 4 days of use.
To 1 quart water add 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon bleach.
Add 2 ounces Listerine mouthwash per gallon of water. Listerine contains sucrose (food) and a bactericide. Listerine is acidic and is said help water move up the cut stem.
