Gems
1. Wear latex gloves to prepare chicken, onions, garlic
and especially chilies, they protect hands from stinging or
smelling. Also useful to open jars. Buy in boxes from ‘Puga’.
2. Wear oven gloves to cushion your hands when stirring
or mixing larger quantities of food. Also makes mashing
potatoes with a masher more comfortable.
3. To keep your boots upright stuff them with a rolled up
magazine, newspaper or a tube from cling film wrap.
4. Put lip salve on overnight and extend it 1cm outside
your lips, this will help dryness and those fine lines.
5. When you wash your hands often, don’t
soap the back of your hands as this strips the oil
from them, just use soap on fingers and palms.
