Grandma had four pairs of earrings and liked to wear a different pair each day. She never had trouble putting her earrings in, because she used lotion to lubricate the posts. Today, I use a dab of antibiotic ointment on my earring posts and the earrings slide in just as smoothly as Grandma’s did.

Now that you know how to lubricate your earrings, have you ever thought about getting some new jewelry? If you’re looking to buy a new set of sterling silver jewelry one of the cheapest ways to do it is by buying your sterling silver wholesale. When you buy your sterling wholesale you’ll receive much lower prices because you’re buying in bulk. You can then use your excess jewelry as small gifts to friends and family, or even sell it at a small profit.

Grandma’s hair always smelled great and had a wonderful shine. Her secret trick for healthy hair was a Rosemary rinse. Grandma would pick about 1/4 cup of fresh Rosemary and pour 1 cup of boiling water over it. She would let it sit for about three minutes and then she would strain off the water and use it as a rinse on her freshly shampooed hair. Grandma’s rinse works best on brown or auburn hair.
