The Many Usages Of Petroleum Jelly!
Monday, March 23, 2009
The name Vaseline is synomynous with petroleum jelly. Other than its usages on the skin in preventing it from dryness, itchiness and rashes and as a moisturizer to prevent aging, there are a multitude of other usages for this wonderful ointment.
Do you owe a tube of super glue? Most probably you won't be able to use it again after you have used it once as the cap and the tube will be stuck by the glue. By applying a coat of petroleum jelly around the thread of the cap, you will be able to go for subsequent usages. And to prevent the glue from drying, it is best to store the super glue tube in the refrigerator after you have used it once. You can also apply the jelly around the rubber seal of your refrigerator to make it lasts longer.
Are there any noticeable white powders surrounding your car battery terminals? Well, corrosion is in progress there. By simply applying a layer of petroleum jelly around the terminals, you will be able to keep those white powders (and hence corrosion) at bay.
Ever find your unfinished can of paint harden after some times ? Now you can make it air tight by applying a coat of petroleum jelly to the inner edge of the paint can.
Petroleum jelly also comes in handy when you find difficulties in removing a ring around your finger. Just rub some of the jelly to the concerned finger and the ring will slip out easily.
Stuck zipper including plastic zipper is another area where you can use the jelly. Smearing a thin coat of the jelly along the trail of the zipper would make the term stuck zipper a thing of the past!
It can also be used before you comb or braid your hair. The jelly will keep your hair soft and shining and help it to grow.
When it comes to screws, nuts and bolts, petroleum jelly can be used for these hardware stuff to keep them free from rust.
Oh yah, it also works on your chapped lip. You will really feel the different after a few applications. And you don't need to buy another bottle or tube of make up remover when you have a bottle of petroleum jelly. Aside from remove your make up easily, it can also make your skin feel soft.
For those nail polisher out there, now you can have no worry at all in accidentally polish the skin around your nails as the petroleum jelly that you have rubbed on it will never allow the polish to stick to your skin.

Keep A Budget!
Friday, March 20, 2009
If we are working for someone else either in a big corporation or a small office, we have always heard of the term BUDGET! Budget is so important that without one, we won't be able to get any project going without allocating some money for it in an earlier time.
But how many of us keep a budget when it comes to our personal expenses? I know the amount of money we have is small in relative to the company that we work for but keeping a budget when let us keep track on how well we spend our money.
The best way to keep a budget for our personal spending is to have a small notebook that can easily fit into our pockets. Hence, we can easily jot down whatever expenses (no matter how small it is) that we use the moment we use it. By doing so, we will be able to toe the line in spending our money and does not incur a huge line of credit. Curbing credit especially credit card debt will ensure we have a peace of mind and soundly sleep especially in this economic downturn.
You would be surprised at how those petty expense transactions that you made daily will amount to when you tally everything at the end of the month.
Even though you might find it pretty troublesome and inconvenient when you start jotting down your expenses but I just want to tell you that it really worth it especially if you are someone who always end up in the deficit side of your financial standings.
As time goes by, you will be able to "control"your spending and in due times you will be able to have a SOUND spending expenses.
