I love products that you can use in multiple ways.

Maybe that makes me cheap, but I like to say “frugal and wise.”

For instance, I’m known for reusing the Walmart, Meijer, and any other grocery store type plastic bags for all kinds of things.

Covering my shoes when I’m packing;

Storing my wet suit after I go swimming;

And they were an absolute life saver when I was packing up all of my glasses and other fragile items when I moved.

I keep tons of these bags everywhere because you just never know. LOL! In my house, you might open a closet door and get "avalanched" by these bags. 

I also keep bottles of Apple Cider Vinegar (upstairs and down, so yeah; I’m a little lazy too) because sometimes ....

I like to add it to my bath;

Gargle with it when I’m sick;

Use it to make fruit fly traps (those darn brown bananas!),

And, of course, I put it in my hair and skin products. 

Even if I don't know of a particular double or triple use for something, I will definitely Google it to see if there are any extra uses out there! 

One of my absolute favorite - if not THE absolute favorite - CurlMix is the Brown Sugar Hair and Body Butter. And I'm not the only one!

So many of my friends and family beg for this product, or want to know what that wonderful smell is on my skin or hair.

I've used it on my hair several times, but I admit that it's the way it flows on and absorbs into my skin that pleases me the most.

Hubby doesn't mind too much either. 

This month is another "dual-use" product, especially formulated for your hair AND skin.
