A Laundry Tip

-
I thought that picture was adorable. But, I wanted to share what my best friend, Lindsey, was telling me yesterday. Her hubby, Harry, works for a high end appliance business and has become quite knowledgeable in all things appliance related. Well, for Christmas, he gave Lindsey a really high quality washing machine which was just delivered yesterday. Boy, was she excited. I told her that we need to get out more with how excited we get over appliances. But, I'm missing my point. He was telling her that with washing machines, you should only use powder detergent. That if you use liquid, the residue builds up and cut the life span of your washing machine. I had never heard that! I asked if that was just the newer ones, since I know the HE machines and front loaders have many more things you have to do, but she said no, it's all washing machines. I have noticed I like how powdered detergents clean better than the liquid but I didn't know that I could be harming my machine! So that's my tip for the day to you!

I did it on my stomach, because after 3 children, I have the "pooch". I hate the "pooch". I figured that this wouldn't hurt, so while Hubby was in Washington, I tried it. All you do is put lotion on the body part you are working on. It's preferable to have a lotion with something from the sea in it, like seaweed, kelp, etc, but not absolutely necessary. Put A LOT on. I mean to where it's not soaking in anymore. Then you wrap the body part in plastic wrap. You can either secure it with an ace bandage or do what I did and just tape it. Since I did it around my belly, I just taped it to itself and it stayed in place. Then you go to bed. Whe...
