Frugal Friday: Razors
Today's frugal tip is one I learned from my very intelligent & handsome husband. He has very coarse facial hair and can go through razors faster than Speedy Gonzales can run. Seriously, because of the type of hair he has, only the more expensive brands will do a good job without tearing up his face. So one day, he tells me about his experiment which will make his razors last longer. He took a regular pint jar and filled it with rubbing alcohol and set it on the counter next to the sink. When he is done shaving, he swishes the razor around in the alcohol, then dries it with a towel. Apparently what dulls the blade is rust caused by water on the blade that you can get off by just wiping with a towel. The alcohol evaporates the water, therefore the blades will last longer. For instance, a razor used to last him about a week. YIKES! I know! Expensive!!! Now, they last between 3 to 4 weeks. Isn't that awesome!!!

Meditation Monday: What is Beauty
The young woman was very attractive in appearance, a maiden whom no man had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up. Gen 24:16
Rebekah had physical beauty, but the servant was looking for a sign of inner beauty. Our appearance is important to us, and we spend time and money improving it. But how do we develop our inner beauty? Patience, kindness, and joy are the beauty treatments that help us become truly lovely on the inside. Godly character is much more valuable than outward beauty. Work on being more Christlike rather than being more physically attractive.
