    Laura suggests using citrus, mint, and floral essential oils for fresh scents. Combine 20 drops of essential oils with 2 oz of vodka or witch hazel, then add 4 oz of water. Shake well and let sit for a day. Laura advises, "Spray upwards or on fabrics for a refreshing aroma." Visit her website for more tips.
  • Mastering Cast Iron: Cleaning and Care Tips from an Expert
    Laura emphasizes the importance of cleaning cast iron skillets to prevent rust and maintain seasoning. She advises cleaning after each use, avoiding harsh soaps, and never air drying. For stubborn food, heat water in the skillet and scrape with a wooden spatula. "Seasoning, a thin oil layer, should be done twice a year," Laura notes.
  • Peppermint Oil: A Natural Ant Repellent Solution
    Laura, a DIY home solutions expert, says peppermint oil is "an incredibly effective and natural way to repel ants." Its scent disrupts ant trails, creating a barrier when sprayed around entry points. Pairing it with clove or citrus oils enhances effectiveness. Regular reapplication and maintaining a clean environment are key to success.
