Woman Pours Green Tea Into This Spray Bottle. The Reason Is Brilliant
Not much is worse in the summertime than getting too much sun and finding out later on that you burned your skin. A lot of the time sunburns sneak up on people who assume they are safe in the sunshine for just a few minutes. However, if the UV index is high when you’re out in direct sunlight it can burn exposed skin in a very short amount of time. Sunscreens do provide protection but only to a certain extent. They tend to rub off easily or come off in the water or when you sweat, which is unavoidable on a hot sunny day, and most have to be constantly re-applied.
When you do happen to suffer from an uncomfortable and painful sunburn there are some things you can try to ease the ill effects. The age-old ice on the burn is a quick and easy way to soothe skin. If you are looking for a more lasting and intensive sun burn treatment, that is all natural and refreshingly cooling, try making this homemade spray. It contains three natural ingredients and aloe vera is the main one, which naturally relieves burns and protects skin. Then there is green tea, which is packed full of tannins that draw toxins out of skin and help protect it as well. Finally, the spray also contains peppermint oil to add even more cooling relief, plus it makes it smell really good.
Measure out a half of a cup of liquid aloe vera and pour it into a spray bottle. Steep a few bags of green tea in one cup of water for at least 10 minutes, the longer the better, to really extract the tannins out of the tea leaves. Add that into the spray bottle and then squeeze 4 drops of peppermint oil in after it. Twist the spray nozzle top back on the bottle and shake it up well before misting it on your sunburn for instantly cool relief.
So this summer, if and when you get burned, don’t run to the store to buy some over-priced sunburn relief spray that is likely packed with harsh chemicals. Instead, make some green tea, mix it with aloe vera and peppermint oil, spray the blissfully cooling concoction on your sunburn, and relax as you begin to heal!

This Truck Attempts To Board A Ship By Driving Over Two Thin Wood Planks.
This video has been making those who view it very tense. It shows an ill-prepared cargo crew attempting to load a brand new, large pickup truck onto a ship. Forget about safety first or high tech cranes and hoists, they are going about it the old fashioned way; with wood and nerves of steel. To get the truck from the dock to the ship they plan on driving it over two long wooden planks. The truck tires barely seem to fit on the width of the planks and my guess is that they’d snap under the weight.
If they do snap it means a long scary fall into the murky brown water below. Whoever agreed to drive the truck across must be crazy, or really know what they’re doing. Seriously, do they know some law of physics that applies to this sketchy situation? Everyone watching, from the people on the dock to those filming aboard the ship, sound nervous and skeptical. A man in a yellow shirt appears to talk to the driver, perhaps he’s trying to talk him out of it, or he is directing the stunt. Girls can be heard screaming in the background and they are understandably nervous at the sight of it all.
Soon after the truck begins it’s death crossing onto the wooden planks a loud creaking noise can be heard. The driver inches slowly forwards, making sure the truck’s wheels are aligned with the narrow planks. When he eases the back tires over the plank’s rear edges he rolls down onto the center of the boards, which look like they will snap at any moment. They’re as bent as you’d expect them to be when supporting over 2½ tons of metal atop them.
The driver and crew still all seem pretty calm and cool at this point, but the onlookers not so much. The driver pauses midway for unknown reasons, but it seems to be that the dock workers are securing the plank ends from shifting. Moments later the truck continues forward and makes it over the bridge and onto the ship. Everyone can stop holding their breaths and the onlookers break out in cheers of delight (and sighs in relief). They made it.
Since it first appeared online, the footage has generated heated debate about whether or not it is real, has been altered, or was faked. No one can agree on whether or not this is definitely possible. It’s hard to even comprehend how the crew managed to position the truck the way it is in the first place. The dock doesn’t look big or wide enough to drive down, then get the truck turned a full 90 degrees.
Perhaps they drove it off another ship from the other side, or what we see is them reversing the truck off and figuring out they cannot fit so they drive it back onto the ship. Then there is the issue of would those 2 dinky planks support a multi-ton truck? And who would risk their life doing this? It leaves us with many unanswered questions, what do you think?

This Man Places His Hands Under The Water. Now Keep Your Eyes On What His Bird Does.
Anyone who has ever bought a birdbath knows that they come in all different shapes and sizes. The thing is usually they don’t come attached to humans! This video is something that instantly put a smile on my face. It features an adorable European goldfinch and his tattooed human.
The bird appears to love taking a bath in his human’s hands while the refreshing running water sprays all over him. He splashes around and looks completely relaxed. This bird is basically a mini dog with wings. You can tell he loves his human so much and feels completely safe around him.
This is possibly the cutest animal video you will watch all month. Within the first 20 seconds I wanted to jump through the computer and give this little guy a huge hug. I think I may get a bird as my next pet! If the bird is anything like this one it would be an absolute pleasure to be the bird’s human. Enjoy! 🙂

This Guy Takes The Leaves Off The Top Of The Pineapple What He Does Next Is Unexpected!
Did you know that you can plant a pineapple simply by using one that you buy at the store? I didn’t, but now that I watched this video I’m going to try it as soon as I pick one up. It’s so simple and easy to do, and if you love pineapples and plants then why not? Clint, from gardenfrugal.com explains and shows how it’s done in this tutorial. He originally tried two alternative ways to do this, but only one worked for him, which is what he’s teaching us. For this tried and true method all you need is a ripe pineapple, a pair of scissors, and a cup of water.
Here is how to prepare the pineapple for growing at home: Take a pineapple that is ready to eat. Grab the green top in one hand while holding the bottom in another, then pull upwards, and twist it up and off. Start to pick off the bottom leaves, gently removing them until you begin to see some roots on the piece. Remove the small leaves from all around until you are past the point where the roots are popping out of. Finally, take a pair of scissors and cut the leaf tips off so they are squared. Be sure to get the tight inner leaves as well. Doing this will show you later on where new growth is taking place. You may need to re-trim them if they start to turn brown.
Once the trimming is complete, stick the top in a cup of fresh water and make sure to change it daily at first. Place the cup in a window sill where it can get lots of sunlight and stay warm. Soon you should see more white roots beginning to sprout and once there is good growth it’s time to transplant it. Take a plastic cup, small planter, or container, and place some soil in it. Being careful to not damage the roots, gently place the sprouted pineapple top in the soil, and fill in more dirt loosely around it. It should start growing and soon you’ll have your own pineapple plant!!

It is for delicious twice-baked potatoes and if you haven’t tried one yet prepare to be blown away by their soft yet crusty, melted cheesy, tasty goodness. Seriously, these hot twice-baked pillow globs are unbelievably delicious and make the perfect side to any dish. Keep reading for instructions on how to make and watch the video for more!
To make 4 servings all you need is 4 large russet potatoes, 3 tablespoons of butter, 1-2 tablespoons of minced green onion, salt, pepper,cayenne, ½ cup of shredded white cheddar cheese, ½ cup cream or milk, and one egg yolk. First rub potatoes with vegetable oil, put them on an aluminum lined tray and bake for one hour at 400 degrees. Remove and allow to cool before cutting 1/3 off each potato lengthwise.
Scoop the insides out to within about 1/8- inch of the skins and put the flesh in a bowl. Mix it with the butter and green onion, then add in salt, pepper, cayenne, and cheese. Once it’s all melted add the milk or cream and egg yolk. Take a hollowed out potato skin shell and fill it with the mixture. Press the top with a fork to add texture, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle on some cayenne if you so desire. Bake again for 20-30 minutes or until a nice golden brown on top.
