Okay - Ya'll know that I have been randomly posting Quick Tips that you can use around the house that are "GREEN". Well, on one of my previous posts I had a comment from a reader that suggested ketchup and some of it's useful properties......don't worry that post is coming! (BTW, Thanks Alicia).
As I was reading up on some of the uses of ketchup I ran across 10 Surprising Uses for Vodka- god help me, I can only imagine the comments coming up on this one! While I personally like MY vodka with Tonic (not the band) and double lime here are some interesting alternative uses for vodka:
Treat Poison Ivy - Pour vodka on the exposed area immediately and it will wash away the dreaded itchy that usually soon to follow
Kill Odor Causing Bacteria - If you are in a smoke filled bar don't get too upset if someone spills a vodka drink on you. Apparently if you spritz vodka on clothes and let them hang dry they won't retain nasty odors and will smell fresh.
Shine Chrome, Glass and Porcelain - Moisten a cloth with vodka and "polish" away!
Keep Flowers Fresh Longer - add a few drops of vodka and a teaspoon of vodka to the water in your flower vase - flowers will stay fresh longer!
Insect Repellent - This one kind of cracks me up (like the others haven't). Put some vodka in a spray bottle and spray the bugs or yourself. You might repel more than bugs but your clothes will smell fresh (see #3)
Disinfect and Alleviate Jellyfish Stings - Again, have vodka in a spray bottle and spray on affected areas.
Shinier, Healthier Hair - Add a jigger of vodka to a 12 oz. bottle of shampoo
Get Rid of Mold - Still have that handy spray bottle full of vodka? You still with me? Spray on mold and let sit for 15 mins - scrub away.
Natural Aches and Pains Remedy - DUH! But the official recipe is:
Fill a clean glass jar with fresh lavender flower then top off with vodka. Seal the lid tightly and place in the sun for three days. (Same as making Sun Tea) Strain the resulting liquid through a coffee filter and poof! You have a homemade tincture to rub into aches and pains. You can pour into smaller bottles, decorate and give them away as unique gifts. (Taken from The Daily Green)
Relieve a Toothache - Swoosh Vodka around the affected tooth and it should help to numb it.
Have at it my fellow comedians - the floor is yours! Me? I am off to the Liquor store so I can ALWAYS keep a spray bottle full of vodka around the house and in my beach bag!

The latest Housing Statistics and Market Report are available for Wake Forest NC and I thought it would be an ideal time to share them with you! I have a few graphs to show where we are now in 2009 and where we have come from. The most interesting graph, which I consider a BENCHMARK, is eye-opening, to say the least, to Home Sellers in the Wake Forest NC area.
First up is the graph depicting the New Residential Listings in Wake Forest NC for 2008 vs. 2009. There has been a 30% decrease in the number of Home Listings in Wake Forest NC overall. In many instances that could be a very good thing for home sellers in Wake Forest NC - much less competition in the market!
The next graph illustrates the Year To Date for Closings in Wake Forest NC. Again, we see a decline. A 30.5% decline to be precise. While the decrease in Closed Sales in Wake Forest NC could quite possibly be tandem with New Listings in Wake Forest NC I happen to think...........
the next graph is the most telling...... The Median Sales Price in Wake Forest NC has declined 13.6%. That is a significant decline. We are NOT in a market of 2005 - the real estate market has changed! Home Prices in Wake Forest NC are reflecting a trend to a more sustainable level. More thoughts after the graph.....
So many times I, personally, have been face to face with a Home Seller in Wake Forest NC and have had to review comparables with them. More often then not they are disheartened. Numbers don't lie. While there may be a personal attachment to the home, precious memories, et cetera, it just isn't going to make your home worth any more than your neighbors down the street. And for Pete's sake, please stop watching HGTV - Granite Countertops will NEVER net you what they show you on TV.
In today's market, 2009 (soon to be 2010) you have to be aggressive with pricing! It may not be what you want to hear but if you want to sell that house it's realistic!
If you are currently thinking of selling your home in the Wake Forest NC area then please give me a call! I can show you what has happened in your neighborhood and help you to set a realistic goal! IamLeesa Finley, I am the Wake Forest NC House Chick and I CAN sell your house!

Lemon juice can be used for so many different situations around the home! Because of lemons acidity they are perfect for some tough cleaning jobs and are somewhat antiseptic and antibacterial. Here are some great ideas for using lemon juice around the house:
If you have light colored countertops and they become stained with kool-aid, wine, food stains, etc just pour a little lemon juice on the stain and let stand for a few minutes. After only a few minutes sprinkle some baking soda on the spot and scrub - the stain will disappear. **I have personally tried this on a home I had listed that had a small cigarette burn/stain on a counter and IT WORKED! Now, it wasn't a deep and nasty stain but a stubborn one nonetheless.
Use a fresh cut lemon to clean your copper pots and copper fixtures! Just cut a lemon into wedges or halves and rub over the copper - it removes spots FAST!
Add some lemon juice to vinegar and place in a spray bottle - you have a fantastic everyday cleaner!
GARBAGE DISPOSALS! I am ALWAYS throwing lemons down my garbage disposal! Not only does the juice of the lemon help deoderize the disposal bit the rinds help to sharpen the blades.
Live well, Live Green and Choose to Live in Wake Forest NC! ;)
