When you get a little too much sun, your burnt skin can be relieved with this natural ingredient: aloe vera. The gel contains natural hormones that are healing and anti-inflammatory and help soothe scorched skin. While aloe vera gel is readily available at the store and can be applied at room temperature to the skin, take relief a step further and freeze it. Squeeze the gel into ice cube trays and let them freeze. When you've sunned too long, pop out a cube and rub it on the skin; you'll get aloe vera's healing properties and the cooling sensation at the same time.

Both prescription eyewear and sunglasses over time can stretch out and no longer fit snugly on your face. Trying to bend the plastic frames to fit again can be risky; this can warp the frame, or worse, it can snap and destroy your glasses. Since plastic is more flexible when it's warm, try this trick. Use a hair dryer to heat up the eyeglass frames, and when they are warm, mold the frame back into shape. The frame does not need to be scorching hot to be more flexible; just warm to the touch is enough to get the frames to feel custom again.

Do you want your stainless steel sink looking like brand-new? All you need is a little elbow grease and some leftover flour. Yes, the same flour you use to make biscuits and cookies can buff and shine your sink. It works because the flour dust gets into the small grooves of the stainless steel and draws up dirt, grime and grease that basic soap can't reach. The key thing is this: Start with a very dry sink, because any residual water will turn flour into glue. Then buff away with flour, rinse, wipe and voila! New sink.
