Punta Final News Letter

When I was young, my mom would take water rings off our coffee table
with toothpaste. Today, I use toothpaste for a number of things when
I'm traveling...

TRAVEL TIP #4: SIX ODD TRAVEL USES FOR TOOTHPASTE

** 1: Bee Sting Ointment.
If you can't get ice for your bee sting, dab a little toothpaste on
it. Of bee sting home remedies, it's rumored to be the very best. (It
lso works as a mosquito bite itch reliever.)

** 2: An overnight zit cream. 
Toothpaste on pimples is controversial, but I find that when I dab
just a spot of it on a rebellious pimple, it's near gone by morning. 

** 3: Jewelry cleaner.
Simply apply a small amount of toothpaste to a soft cloth and rub it
on your dry jewelry. You can use a soft cotton swab for the smaller,
hard-to-reach spots. Then rinse it off.

** 4. Shoe cleaner.
Toothpaste and a cloth or an old toothbrush are great for cleaning the
white rubber parts of tennis shoes. Be sure to use white toothpaste,
rather than a colored gel.

** 5: Bathroom Mirror Defogger.
When I'm in the shower and my husband wants to shave (but the mirror
is fogged up) he squeezes a pea-sized amount of toothpaste on the
mirror and wipes it clean.

** 6: CD and DVD Scratch Repair.
Just apply a very small amount of non-baking soda toothpaste to the
disc and rub it off with a soft cloth. Scratches gone!
