There’s one simple ingredient in your pantry that can leave your face glowing and baby-soft: honey. The natural sugars in honey are powerful ingredients that help hydrate your skin and reduce flaky dry skin even after you’ve washed the honey off. And it’s easy to use: Just mix a spoonful of honey and a little warm water (to make it less sticky) and slather it on your face. Let the honey mask sit for a few minutes and rinse it off. You’ll be amazed at how amazing your skin will look with this simple beauty trick.

Do you want your flower arrangements to stay fresh longer? There’s no need to add chemical flower preservatives to your vase full of water. Instead, simply add a splash of white vinegar (it helps inhibit the growth of bacteria) and toss in a little sugar (it feeds the flowers and helps closed blooms open up, too!). The simple combination of these ingredients is enough to give your arrangement a few extra days of fresh life. And if you happen to have a little lemon-lime soda, you can add a splash of that to the water, too.

It doesn’t matter if your reusable water bottle is made from glass, metal or plastic: You need to wash it every day. Reusable bottles are an excellent way to cut back on single-use plastic while staying hydrated, but the moist environment of the bottle can turn into a breeding ground for illness-causing germs and bacteria. Get in the habit of adding your bottle to the dishwasher, where the high temperatures can eradicate germs. And never leave a bottle in a hot car or dirty environment (like a gym bag) where the growth of germs is expedited.
