I really hate to waste anything. Some of the hints from Mother Nature Network are helpful. I did a post awhile ago about coffee grinds and this article has hints for home, food and beauty.
Scrubbed my face with the banana. It made a mess but it does work. My banana peels were very ripe and next time I'll have to try one that wasn't falling apart! Sprinkled some raw sugar on the peel and took it in the shower.
Gabe had a fit when he saw I took a banana peel into the shower!
OMG HAHAHAHAH Linda.........I can only imagine Gabe's face when he realized you took a banana peel in the shower. Oh Lordy. Hey-at least you put that over ripe banana to good use and didn't waste it-AND you got some exfoliating done. to boot.
ReplyDeleteMen just don't get it. :)
Carol- you know I got a pretty good suntan this summer and you know what? That banana really did work to exfoliate.
DeleteGabe doesn't get it!
LOL, I am sitting here laughing. I also can only imagine Gabe's face. Sure hope you didn't slip on the peel. :-). I have to give you credit......you really do use up everything you have. There were some good ideas on the MNN. I will check more of them out when I have some time. You go girl........waste not want not is your middle name.
ReplyDeleteMyra- if I was in Florida I would of rinsed the peel to get the sugar of and plant it under the rose bush. Roses loved old banana peels!
DeleteOMG I can just imagine the look you got. I'd say "$50 for the stuff in the store. This didn't cost me anything but the banana peel and some sugar. So I'm NOT supposed to save money?" And it works better? BONUS . If Randall had said anything to me? I'd of given him a coconut and some sand and tell him it's the man's version........oooouch ~snicker~
ReplyDeleteCnydy- thanks! Next time I'm getting a coconut. :-)
DeleteYou never cease to amaze me with your finds. I will think of Gabe every time I peel my bananas from now on.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dottie !
DeleteTalk about a good use for a banana peel. Doesn't even taste half bad if a bit gets into your mouth! :-) I know for a fact Ray would think I'd lost my marbles (again) if the peal went into the shower with me! No shortage of peels to try. Maybe tomorow will be the day! LOL
ReplyDeleteNo slipping and slidding in the shower, ladies! The visuals aren't so pretty! :-)
Angela- Gabe could not believe I was taking the banana peel into the shower. He told me if it made a mess I would have to clean it up. Like that isn't my normal job! LOL
