[stylist] Cookbook and other writing Tessa

Thu Oct 31 11:42:46 UTC 2013

And it isn't just food, look at your cleaners and personal care items. I 
make a wonderful cleaner out of white vinigar and dried thyme. A half cup of 
dried time with a four cup lavender in a quarter of white vinigar and let it 
sit for 24 to 36 hours. Strain off the  herbs with cheese cloth and you have 
one heck of a great anti bacteria anti viral cleaner.
