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.

Grandma’s Healthy Hair Tip

Grandma’s hair always smelled great and had a wonderful shine. Her secret trick for healthy hair was a Rosemary rinse.
