When you’re not sure what to do with some fresh produce in the fridge, instead of letting it go bad, consider juicing it to make a single-shot health drink. Yes, you can run fruits and veggies like carrots, apples and oranges through a juicer, but you can also use less-obvious produce that has great health benefits. Cabbage juice is rich in sulfur and iodine, which can have a detoxifying effect. Iceberg lettuce is rich in minerals and water, so it’s hydrating and can help support red blood cells. And have you thought about watermelon rind juice? It’s called "Mother Nature’s Viagra” because it’s rich in an amino acid called citrulline, which dilates blood vessels.

On a bright, sunny day, use the natural warming power of the sun to fluff up your flattened down pillows. Find a sunny place outdoors, and place a large towel or clean tarp on the ground. Lay your pillows -- bed pillows, decorative throw and even comforters -- on top. Let the hot sun do its magic: It’ll warm the down feathers and help evaporate the trapped moisture inside. As the pillows dry out, they’ll magically fluff up. The sun will naturally deodorize your items, too.

Growing rosebushes in your yard has its rewards when the plant matures and thrives. But in the early stages, it’s key to do whatever you can do to protect the bushes from disease. One handy natural idea is to place banana peels around the perimeter of the plant. The peel is an easily compostable material that will break down and give the rosebush potassium-rich nutrients. This boosts the bush's natural immune system and lets it fend off frost, drought and other threats that can hurt it in the early stages.
