For acne: Microwave some honey (a tablespoon or 2) until there's bubbles, mix equal parts BS. Allow to cool a bit, apply while still warm NOT hot. Relax 10 minutes. Rub off in GENTLE circular motions. For everyone else: Make a frothy paste with BS & apple cider vinegar, use it like a mask on your face. Wash your face with baking soda and vinegar (not your eyes), rinse with water or even mineral water. It can be a bit drying to some if you have dry skin already so either way follow up with lotion but it clears our grossness in your pores.

Did ya know that if you combine vinegar, honey, hydrogen peroxide, vodka and baking soda... and then hook it up to a car battery... Ya get an explosive device that sticks to everything including teflon? :) My mom beat me with a wooden spoon until her arm got tired, and then... she toook a nap and beat me again! Hey, wait a minute... You ain't one a them "domestic terrorists" I've been reading about are ya? I mean, this here Homeland Security comic book spells em out pretty clearly... Says you can identify them by their scars, tattoos, and the fact that they're always eatin crawfish, and rooting for the New Orleans Saints... ;) I'm tellin... Hey, maybe there's a reward! But with my luck, it would probably a coupon for a discount on Crawfish and Grits... Bleeeaa-aach! Great post! Ronin Hey!

Try it on a penny and see for yourself!

I'll definitely try that one. Our needs cleaning just about once every winter it seems. I'll give the Coke a try next time we have to do it. @Evelyn- I think Method cleaners (available at Target) are fairly eco-friendly, and they might make a silver polish. Or maybe I'm thinking of their stainless steel polish...drat, I can't remember. Anyway, the stainless steel polish might work on your sink too! It's great for getting out greasy stains. :) @Ash, wow thanks for that awesome tip! I’ll definitely try that one. Our needs cleaning just about once every winter it seems.
