THE THREE TIPS
1) If your child has a fever, rub his feet with egg whites. It will make the fever go down. I don't know why this work, but apparently it does.
2) If you have a breast infection (or any kind of infection, perhaps?), down shots of raw apple cider vinegar throughout the day. That should get rid of it.
3) If you have curly hair (which I kind of do, but not really), try this technique to bring out your curls: Get your hair wet (don't use shampoo), then rub in a ton of a natural-type conditioner (DO NOT RINSE IT OUT). Then, just let your hair air dry. I have a friend who does this (it's described in the book Curly Girl
), and her curly hair looks fabulous. So, I tried it the other day, even though my hair is more wavy than curly, and I liked the results.Here's a picture:
I realize that you can't really tell much about my hair from this picture (other than that my face looks pasty and my arms look awesome) because it is just a mass of darkness. It would have probably looked curlier if I had taken the picture earlier in the day. But it was a lot less frizzy and more manageable than it usually is. I used a small .25 oz sample thing of conditioner that I got from the co-op, and the bad thing was that it was scented (and you all know how much I don't like scents). Ugh. I kept smelling it through half the day.
But this hair technique is especially useful if you do have really curly hair. So, try it if you do.

1. Unless the fever is super high, why would you want it to go down unless the body brings it down naturally??
2. Not sure about with breast infection, but it's ACV has gotten me beyond a UTI or two.
3. We add a leave-in conditioner (or coconut or jojoba oil) to Bella's hair everyday, so it makes sense that it would work on other curly hair styles. I'd hate to see how my fine, stick-straight hair would look if I tried it though.
FEVERS ARE GOOD!!!
Char - If you are you or me, we don't care about fevers going down. But, if you are like most people, you might get scared by fevers. Or, you might just want to do something to make your child more "comfortable". So, that was just a tip for those type of people... something they could do in lieu of using medication, you know?
Cabbage dipped in boiling water and placed directly on the breast is a miracle worker for those pesky infections as well.
