Do you know that
there are many uses for Vaseline? It is good that you can use this
for more than one particular thing. I would like to share with you
a few of the awesome usages of Vaseline.
1.
Your Lips
Vaseline
was created in 1869, by Robert Chesebrough, a young chemist. I am
thankful for Vaseline too. My grandmother use to always put Vaseline
on by lips, especially in the wintertime. She would say it prevented
my lips from chapping. As I got older, I found Vaseline was a great
lip gloss to put over my lipstick. I liked the softness that it gave
my lips. You may also like this article:

2.
Your Elbows and Knees
My
grandmother also would put Vaseline on my elbows. She would talk
about how ashy my arms and legs were. “ I would seemingly fall a
lot when playing outside. I recall one day having scabs and
bruises on both of my knees. I fell two days in a row. I will never
forget that day. My friend and I were running and we both tripped
over each other. My knees were so sore and looked really bad. I
thought, “Both of my knees are in bad shape.” My auntie put
Vaseline on them. It just really seemed to soothe the pain. Do you
remember falling as a child? I remember hurting my knee. Hurting your
knee, that can be quite painful. I recall the pain for me was quite
excruciating.
3.
Shoe Shining
I
use a little Vaseline on my patent leather boots and then buff them
really good. It gives a shine that you cannot imagine.
4.
Baseball Glove
Livestrong.com
talks about using Vaseline to break in a baseball glove.
5.
Bird Pole
Tom Barlow of daily finance.com talks about putting Vaseline on the pole
of your bird feeder to discourage those pesky squirrels. I think
that is a great idea. I can just visualize the squirrel trying to
climb that pole and sliding right down.
6. Eyebrows
I have used Vaseline
to make my unrully eyebrows lay down.
Note:
Vaseline
also comes in a variety of other products such as lotions, Vaseline
Intensive Care Bath Beads, or Vaseline cocoa butter, but there are
those that still prefer to oil their bodies with Vaseline.
