Revealed: Secret Life of Your Leftover Nipple Cream

Thought your nipple cream was just for, well, nipples?

Brace yourselves, moms! This trusty old ointment is out to rule your world, one chapped lip and unruly eyebrow at a time.

Nipple Cream: Not Just for Nipples Anymore 

Nipple cream - aka lanolin - is a breastfeeding mom's best buddy.

But guess what?

It's more than just an aid for tender nipples. In fact, it's a great moisturizer and can also be a beauty hack for eyebrows, lips, cuticles, and feet.

So, that leftover nipple cream can do more for you than you imagined.

Lanolin: A Sheep's Gift to You 

Lanolin, the key ingredient in nipple cream, comes from sheep's wool.

It's basically sheep grease, transformed through a magical process of treatments and purifications.

This wax-like substance helps restore skin hydration and keeps it soft and supple.

Your New Beauty Buddy 

This nipple cream is a secret weapon for dry lips and rough patches.

And if you think your eyebrows need taming, just a dab will do the trick. 

Bonus: it can be used under the eyes to smooth fine lines and mixed with thick concealers to make them creamy.

Foot Spa at Home 

Dry, cracked heels? Flip-flop season got you worried?

Fear not, lanolin is here!

Apply the cream on your heels before bedtime, slip on some socks to avoid staining your sheets, and voilà, smooth heels when you wake up.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind 

Although lanolin is pretty safe for most, it's derived from sheep, so not for vegans.

Also, it could potentially stain your fabrics.

But don't worry, a good dose of grease-fighting dish soap and some soaking time can rescue your sheets.

So there you have it, ladies! Your leftover nipple cream is practically a Swiss army knife of beauty.

Embrace it, experiment with it, and enjoy these surprisingly handy new uses.

A Summer Symphony: Summer Pasta Salad

Get ready for an easy peasy, pleasingly cheesy dish that screams summer: The Summer Pasta Salad.

This scrumptious, budget-friendly meal will bring joy to your family's lunchtime, and might even score you some brownie points for serving veggies.

Ingredients

• 16 ounces pasta (fusilli, macaroni or any other small pasta shape)

• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 2 ears of corn, yellow or white

• 1 pound asparagus, stems removed

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (if desired)

• Basil, for garnish

Let's Get Cooking

1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, sprinkle in that 1 tablespoon of salt, and cook your pasta according to the package's wisdom.

2. Steam veggies: Place the corn and asparagus in a steamer pot over boiling water, and let them get steamy for 2-3 minutes. Or if you're in a rush, simply boil them for a quick 1-2 minutes.

3. Prep the veggies: When the corn has cooled down, cut the kernels off the cob and dice the asparagus into small bite-sized pieces.

4. Mix it up: Now the fun part! Toss all the ingredients together in a bowl. Add more salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle in some fresh herbs if you're feeling fancy.
