Treating a Pimple with Toothpaste - BUSTED

Risking embarassment and showing pictures of a pimple I would usually cover up completely.  I'm here to give the facts people and sometimes that comes at my own expense!

I read on Pinterest (and elsewhere) that putting toothpaste, not gel, on a pimple overnight will greatly reduce it's size and appearance if not remove the pimple completly.  I put this theory to the test last night.

Below are my before, during and after pictures, don't laugh....

Before applying Toothpaste

I used Colgate

Redy for bed!

Bummer, not much difference at all!

I left the paste on all night and in the morning, I swear it was more red.  This after pic is after applying foundation but no concealer.  Looks like I should just use my toothpaste for my teeth!  Better luck next time, Pinterest!

Cleaning a Glass Top Stove with Baking Soda - BUSTED

From now on, I am only using my baking soda for baking.  Last time I used it to clean my dishwasher I was disappointed and ended up without any in the cupboard when I went to make Banana Bread.

This pin says to use baking soda, hot water and dish soap to get your glass top stove sparkling clean.  I should have known it was too good to be true.  Although the results weren't non-existent, I probably would have gotten these same results using just a wet rag and some elbow grease.

Here are the before pictures of my glass top:

I followed all the directions exactly, except I did leave the rags on longer than 15 minutes (it said to do this for added effect)

Below are pictures of the result.  Not the greatest.  I'm not saying that this process didn't work at all, but I was expecting more "wow" factor.  I'll stick with my trusty glass top stove cleaner and plastic razor blade, in fact, I will probably go finish the job the baking soda didn't right now.

2nd Method to a Heavenly Smelling House - BUSTED

Gave this little trick a try a few nights after I tried the oranges, should have stuck with the oranges!!!

I followed the instructions exactly, and I suppose this is where smell-o-vision would come in extremely handy because..... 

It stunk.

I mean, STUNK!  I could hardly air the house out fast enough as soon as the vanilla began heating up. 

Perhaps I should have cleaned the oven first, but it's really not that bad to cause this smell or else it would smell terrible whenever I turned it on!

I am warning you now, you can try it if you want but I would wait until the weather is nice enough to open the windows, because if your experience is anything like mine, you will be airing it out!

Miracle Cookie Sheet Cleaner - BUSTED

I used a Pinterest trick I found to clean cookie sheets.

Blog says = to use baking soda and hydrogen peroxide (the supposed MIRACLE CLEANER) and leave on for hours and there will be no scrubbing.

Well there was scrubbing and scrubbing and SCRUBBING and still, not the best results and this is after all the scrubbing and a run through the dishwasher.

They are better but not the AMAZING results I was promised!!!  Be warned!  This miracle scrub is not all it's cracked up to be!
