WATERmelon.


I don’t know about you, but Watermelon is one of my favorite fruits. Nothing says “summer” like a juicy piece of fresh watermelon. There are many reasons to love this fruit. First off, it is very low in calories (one cup of watermelon is only 46 calories!).  Second of all, this fruit is incredibly hydrating.

In addition to making a great snack, why not try a watermelon mask on your face to help prevent wrinkles. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Watermelon
  • Avocado
  • Vaseline
  • Blender
  • Bowl

Directions:

  1. Clean the watermelon and chop it into small cubes. Keep blending it until it’s smooth enough to pass it through a sieve.

  2. Peel the avocado and dispose of the pit. Scrape out the avocado and blend it with the watermelon.

  3. Add about two tablespoons of Vaseline and continue blending until the mixture is a smooth paste.

  4. Put the mixture in a bowl and allow it to set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. The cool watermelon will soothe the skin while the fats in the avocado will reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Water Magic or Water Science?

Did you know that hot water freezes faster than cold water?

Yep, it’s true. Want to try it at home?

Fill one container with hot water and the other one with cold water, and put them in the freezer. Which one freezes first? The hot one.

Although this phenomenon just doesn’t seem to make sense, it’s not magic. Scientists aren’t entirely certain why this occurs but they offer a few possible explanations: differences in supercooling, evaporation, frost formation, convection, and effects of dissolved gasses between the hot and cold water.

So go ahead, we dare you, try this at home!

Make a Plastic Bottle Into a Terrarium!

This mini-terrarium is a great project for kids or adults.  They make “green” additions to any homes and children enjoy watching their plants grow. You can plant practically any type of seeds you wish so it makes this terrarium quite versatile. You can also plastic water bottles for this project, just don’t plant more than two seeds to avoid overcrowding.

 

Materials:

  • Plastic 2 liter bottle with cap
  • Scissors or craft knife
  • Soil
  • Seeds – your choice!
  • Water

Here’s how:

  1. Remove and discard of the label on the bottle. Keep the cap though.
  2. Wash and thoroughly rinse the bottle and cap.
  3. Using about where the bottom of the label of the bottle was as a general reference, cut the bottle with sharp scissors or a craft knife. As always, be careful.
  4. Add soil the to the base of the inside of the bottle and plants your seeds.
  5. Give the soil and seeds a light watering
  6. Screw the cap on the bottle and put the top of the bottle
  7. Cover the base with the top of the bottle. This may require a bit of effort to get it in there securely.
  8. Put your terrarium in a nice sunny spot.
Tips:
  • When the plants have matured, re-pot them or plant them in your garden to give the roots more room.
  • If the soil begins to look dry, unscrew the cap and give several squirts from a squirt-top water bottle.

DIY Fly Trap From Plastic Water Bottles

When we discovered this use for plastic water bottles wit definitely caught our interest! It’s a cheap and efficient way to trap domestic flys or fruit flys and makes great use of plastic water bottles. This trap works by luring the flys to enjoy free meal. They become trapped and eventually die. Fair warning: The stink can become quite strong so don’t keep this fly trap near your home or the dog’s kennel.

Materials:

  • Large water bottle (1.5 to 2 liter plastic bottles work best)
  • Scissors (or some sharp object to cut through a plastic bottle
  • Bait – A small chunk of meat chopped into water or a small amount of doggy poo with some water. (Hey, we didn’t say it was pleasant but it will certainly do the job!)
  • Wire

Here’s how:

  1. Cut the plastic bottle about 1/3rd of the way down.
  2. Invert the top 1/3rd section of the cut bottle and place in the bottom 2/3rds.
  3. Insert the bait in the bottom section.
  4. Tape or glue the bottle together.
  5. Fashion some wire in to a ‘U’ shape with some right angled ends that turn in towards the bottle. Cut a small hole to attach the wire.

Way Cool DIY Bottle Cooler

A great way to give plastic bottles a new life are to re-use them as cold packs. Simply fill them with water, freeze them, and use them!

Looking for a decorative way to cool adult beverages down? Check out this use of plastic bottles:

So classy looking, and so darn easy.

Materials:

  •  A 3-liter empty bottle
  • Your bottle of adult beverage (might we recommend Vodka)
  • Distilled water (it will have more clarity)
  • Fruit – lemons, limes, star fruit, or cranberries
  • Duct tape to ensure your bottle won’t float up in the water
Here’s how:
  1. Cut the top of the 3-liter empty bottle.
  2. Place the adult beverage bottle inside the 3-liter container and fill with an inch or two of water. Freeze this until solid.
  3. After the base is frozen, add a layer of fruit slices or berries and fill with more water being sure to cover the fruit with water. Again, freeze until solid.
  4. Fill the next layer in the same manner. This layer should reach the top of the adult beverage bottle.
  5. After the cooler completely frozen, remove it from the freezer so it can thaw just a bit to be able to get the 3-liter bottle off the ice. It can take about 30 minutes and if this is not enough, you can dip it in luke warm water.
  6. Return the cooler to the freezer until you are ready to use it!

And viola!, everyone will admire your gorgeous cooler!
