Home remedies

Home remedies. I rely on them a lot, not because I am a hippie but because something always happens to me at the most inopportune times. Why is it that something goes horribly wrong at 11pm at night when the kids are sleeping and drugstores are closed??

So you know how it goes, the night before an important meeting suddenly the biggest pimple in the world appears out of nowhere and then there's panic which probably makes it bigger (in your mind) and what are you going to do and ahhhhhh!!!

Yeah. That.

Here's what you do. Get about 1 teaspoon of baking soda and a dab of WHITE toothpaste. Mix it together to form a paste, then spackle that all over the breakout area. Go to sleep.

I promise you in the morning it will be at least 1/3 the size which is manageable. Just don't touch it and keep doing the paste thing for another 24 hours and the pimple will be gone.

Simple. DiY. And now you smell like toothpaste. Well, the last part can't be helped.
