Tea bags- what can you do with them?

Okay so in high school my friends would always ask me the most random questions and I always would know something that would help... probably comes from my mother mostly but I realized that tea bags, yes tea bags, those things that people use to make drinks with even though I think they smell TERRIBLE- are super useful. So here is my advice. Go buy a box of tea bags to keep at your house, you can buy a pack of 100 at the dollar store, probably not the best quality to drink but it doesn't matter because its not to drink! Also every use of tea bags that will be listed is for used tea bags, so if you wont be drinking tea first (like me) then just rinse it under water for a minute to get the effect.

- BURNS, any kind almost, I dont know about sunburns though. If you burn your hand on a hot pan, the stove, a curling iron, anything to that nature - After you rinse your tea bag under water put it directly on the burn, it helps to put a wet paper towel on top a. so you dont have to touch the tea bag and b. so keep it moist. After about 5 min you will feel the pain basically dissappear. its AWESOME!!

-Broken nails. This only works if you crack a nail not if it completely comes off. But it keeps it lookin good until your nail grows out and you can cut it off. This does not require getting your tea bag wet. Simply just cut the tea bag open and dump out the stuff inside then cut a little piece of the actual bag off big enough to cover your crack in the nail but small enough to fit on your nail. Put a clear coat of nail polish on the nail, put your little piece on top and press it down, and then apply another coat of clear to the top. It will keep your nail from snagging and breaking the whole way across!!

- Rose bushes and plants. Dump out the contents of the tea bag around your rose bushes and it will help them grow and the soil be more fertilized. Also if you have plants in a pot putting a tea bag at the bottom right over the drain hole helps fertilize the plant and keep the roots moist longer because the tea bag holds the moisture longer.. It wont flood it because it still will allow the water to drain it just helps to keep everything moist :)

- EYES. after you get your tea bags wet if you place them on your eyes it helps reduce PUFFY eyes. ALSO..... if you have a STY in your eye putting a tea bag on helps it go away faster!! This one helps if your tea bag is warm/hot

- WARTS. Black tea helps reduce warts. get your tea bag wet and apply directly to wart aprox. 3 times a day and you will see it get smaller and smaller!

- SOAKING A POT OVER NIGHT TO GET CAKED ON FOOD OFF? throw a tea bag in and it helps the food come right off!!

- Antiquing anything. Paper to make it look old, scrapbooking etc. Fabric, wood. it works for all you just have to be okay with the smell until it goes away.

- pressing a wet/used tea bag on a zit you feel comming in helps! It makes it go away or at least be smaller.

- and if you have wood floors you can put some tea bags in the water for a few minutes and it helps keep the color of the wood lookin fresh.

well folks. thats all I can think of for now! Have fun and let me know if you know any other uses for tea bags :)
