Pinterest

I have decided to start a blogging about different things I try on Pinterest. Recipes, crafts, decorating, remedies, etc. There are tons of awesome sounding things, but we all know sometimes those things work, sometimes they don’t. So, each time I try something new from pinterest, I’m going to blog about how it went: if it worked/was successful, if it’s worth doing again, how much time it took, and if it was fun!

The first thing I tried was a sunburn remedy. Last month, I went with my brother-in-law’s family to a car show at Lowes Motor Speedway. We were outside all day long, and although I was very good at reapplying sunscreen (I'm pretty fair skinned), I just assumed my legs would be fine. Boy was I wrong. I got a pretty bad sunburn on my thighs, just from my knees to where my shorts ended. I had read about a remedy on Pinterest for sunburn involving tea, so I decided to try it.

The remedy:

·      Brew a pot of tea. Any kind of tea will work, but I think the darker the better.

·      Let the tea cool to room temperature.

·      Sponge the tea onto the sunburned area. (I would suggest standing in your shower for this so you don’t make a mess).

·      Let it dry.

·      Go to sleep.

The next morning when you wake up, the sunburn should be significantly better.

I took before and after pictures of my legs:

Pretty amazing, huh?

I was shocked at how well it worked. I only did it the once, but I bet if you keep doing it every night it would be gone in a matter of a few days.

Overall this remedy works. It was successful, easy to do, took hardly any time, and was totally worth it!
