The Tea Rx From England!
Are you a fan of the English series "Downton Abbey?"
It just aired its last episode and that's mean a long wait
for those of us who can't get enough of the hit series.
If you're a really a fan, then you know that tea plays
a big part in the show. Yes, we're talking about the beverage,
and it seems to be the beverage of choice for a lot of Brits.
But did you know that you can get benefits from tea by not
drinking it?
That's right--with the big "green" movement going on, you can
improve your skin and clean your house with a tea bag or two.
So, look below, and learn how the beverage of Great Britain,
can really help you in more ways than you think.
a) Razor Burns-
Spring is almost here and that means more bare legs,
and if nicks and cuts are a part of your shaving routine,
put an end to it. How?
Wet a tea bag and hold it against the spots you cut or nicked.
Tea has tannic acids and that acid helps lower inflammation.
b) Healthier Plants-
Before potting a plant, place tea bags on the drainage hole of the
planter. They'll help retain water and keep your plant full of life.
c) Mirror-Mirror-
Mirror, Mirror whose the dirtiest mirror of them all?
If you say it's my house, clean them the "green" way... with tea bags.
Brew some tea, make it strong and let it cool. Then get a cloth
(clean) or paper towels or newspaper and clean the mirrors throughout
the house. Finish up by wiping the mirrors down with a dry cloth.
d) Pots and Pans-
Does your sauce stick to the pan? How about beef stew?
If you want an easier method to help clean up those pots and
pans, allow a tea bag or two to assist you.
Fill the pot or pan with some warm water, add some dish detergent,
(a tbs.) and then throw in 2 tea bags. Let sit for a few hrs. or overnight
and the stuck on food will be a cinch to clean up.
e) Odors In The Fridge-
That box of baking soda in the fridge doesn't work like it
used to at eliminating odors, that's okay, try the new method
of getting rid of the stench, what is it? Tea!
If you have tea everyday, hold onto the tea bags.
Collect about 6 and place them in a bowl or small container,
and then place this container in the back of the refrigerator.
Leave for a few days and then remove them. Start saving those
tea bags again and repeat the process.
f) Youthful Skin-
Who doesn't want to look younger? (Kim Novak) Well, if dry and
aging skin is a concern, run a bath and throw in a few tea bags.
The tea helps hydrate the skin, leaving it dewy and soft.
Another tip: If you eat oranges, save the peels and toss them in with the
tea bags for some extra soft skin.
That's it for now, until the next Downton Abbey episode, Good Day!
Good Luck!
