1 STOP A COUGH

Next time you’re dealing with a nasty cough, enjoy a spoonful of honey! Research shows it’s even more effective than over-the-counter cough syrups at curing a lingering cough. Why? Honey is antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory, plus it forms a film that calms irritation in delicate throat tissue.

2 Ensure fresh-cut flowers last Few things brighten your day quite like a stunning arrangement made from vibrant, fresh blooms. To help the flowers last as long as possible, try this: Add 1 Tbs. each of honey and vinegar to the vase every time you change out the water. The sugar in honey provides nourishment for the blooms, while acids in the vinegar work to kill off any wilt-causing bacteria. Your flowers will thrive for days so you can continue to appreciate their beauty.
