Like honey or lemon juice, what are some cheaper food items that can also double for beauty uses?
Q. I use honey and lemon juice for both food and beauty purposes. What are some other ideas along that line - foods (that you eat a good amount of, especially) that double as beauty items? Preferably nothing too expensive at all, please. Thanks!

A. Baking soda - can use w/ hydrogen peroxide as a toothpaste to whiten teeth & to freshen breath. Crush raspberry & mix w/ a bit of honey. Use a lip scrub & rinse off. Raspberry will stain lips a bit. Ground oatmeal or use cornmeal as a face scrub. Can be mixed w/ water or yogurt. Yogurt has lactic acid which loosens dead skin cells. Olive oil - use a base w/ sugar, salt or coffee grounds for scrubs. Diluted vinegar as a clarifying hair rinse. Green tea as an ingredient for toner. Cold tea bags to depuff eyes. Black tea as a rinse to darken hair. Veggies like cucumbers, tomatoes & avocados for facials. Video presentation w/ more ideas: More links:

A. The US and Canada are very similar in their food stuffs. In fact, I really can't think of anything you can't buy in Canada that you can get in the states. Maybe a few of the brands are different but other than that you are not going to notice much of a change. Enjoy your trip.

A. If we consider success as "able to be eaten." Assuming there's a way to preserve it and serve it as intended. None. If we consider success as able to be grown: Those fruits and vegetables that need cool temperatures to grow, would have a really hard time. If we considere success as popularity... Some cultures have foods that are considered wonderful that originated from various methods of preservation. For example Lutefisk, cheese, etc. might well have a hard time being "successful."
