Just squirt a dab on the scuffed area and rub with a soft cloth. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. The leather will look like new.<\/p>\nClean your sneakers<\/strong><\/p>\nWant to clean and whiten the rubber part of your sneakers? Get out the non-gel toothpaste and an old toothbrush. After scrubbing, clean off the toothpaste with a damp cloth.<\/p>\nClean your clothes iron<\/strong><\/p>\nThe mild abrasive in non-gel toothpaste is just the ticket for scrubbing the gunk off the bottom plate of your clothes iron. Apply the toothpaste to the cool iron, scrub with a rag, then rinse clean.<\/p>\nPolish a diamond ring<\/strong><\/p>\nPut a little toothpaste on an old toothbrush and use it to make your diamond ring sparkle instead of your teeth. Clean off the residue with a damp cloth.<\/p>\nDeodorize baby bottles<\/strong><\/p>\nBaby bottles inevitably pick up a sour-milk smell. Toothpaste will remove the odor in a jiffy. Just put some on your bottle brush and scrub away. Be sure to rinse thoroughly.<\/p>\nPrevent bathroom mirrors from fogging<\/strong><\/p>\nOuch! You cut yourself shaving and it\u2019s no wonder \u2014 you can\u2019t see your face clearly in that fogged-up bathroom mirror. Next time, coat the mirror with non-gel toothpaste and wipe it off before you get in the shower. When you get out, the mirror won\u2019t be fogged.<\/p>\nShine bathroom and kitchen chrome<\/strong><\/p>\nThey make commercial cleaners with a very fine abrasive designed to shine up chrome, but if you don\u2019t have any handy, the fine abrasive in non-gel toothpaste works just as well. Just smear on the toothpaste and polish with a soft, dry cloth.<\/p>\nClean the bathroom sink<\/strong><\/p>\nNon-gel toothpaste works as well as anything else to clean the bathroom sink. The tube\u2019s sitting right there, so just squirt some in, scrub with a sponge, and rinse it out. Bonus: The toothpaste will kill any odors emanating from the drain trap.<\/p>\nRemove crayon from walls<\/strong><\/p>\nDid your crayon-toting little one get creative on your wall? Roll up your sleeves and grab a tube of non-gel toothpaste and a rag or \u2014 better yet \u2014 a scrub brush. Squirt the toothpaste on the wall and start scrubbing. The fine abrasive in the toothpaste will rub away the crayon every time. Rinse the wall with water.<\/p>\nRemove ink or lipstick stains from fabric<\/strong><\/p>\nOh no, a pen opened up in the pocket of your favourite shirt! This may or may not work, depending on the fabric and the ink, but it is certainly worth a try before consigning the shirt to the scrap bin. Put non-gel toothpaste on the stain and rub the fabric vigorously together. Rinse with water. Did some of the ink come out? Great! Repeat the process a few more times until you get rid of all the ink. The same process works for lipstick.<\/p>\n","image":"http:\/\/massystorestt.com","link":"https:\/\/massystorestt.com\/10-ways-to-clean-using-toothpaste\/"},{"title":"12 DAYS OF FLASHING THROUGH THE

This reduction translates to over 40.5 million bags removed from circulation over the past year.<\/p>\nThe positive consumer response was also mirrored in the increased usage of reusable bags. The company recorded that over the past year, 1 million reusable bags were in circulation across the regional customer base.<\/p>\nThe decision to reduce plastic waste is part of the company\u2019s broader commitment to find ways to operate more sustainably and become more environmentally conscious. Across the region, Massy Stores has begun changing its lighting systems to LED to reduce energy consumption. In Barbados and St. Lucia, solar (photovoltaic) systems were installed to power systems using renewable energy. The supermarket chain also switched to ozone friendly gas to fuel the air conditioning and refrigeration systems and incorporated insulated roofing in its new building designs to reduce energy consumption. Legislative support in St. Vincent and Guyana resulted in the 100% elimination of Styrofoam in our stores, with increased reductions in other territories pending legislated bans.<\/p>\nAcross the region the company forged several partnerships with environmental agencies such the recycling organizations Jua Kali in St. Lucia; B\u2019s Recycling in Barbados and iCare Program in Trinidad and Tobago who have all partnered with Massy Stores to collect and remove recyclable waste. Further, our Caribbean-wide employees have participated in several clean-up activities and initiatives to remove waste plastic from the environment.<\/p>\nIn each territory Massy Stores has advanced the agenda for positive environmental action. A systematic, waste diversion strategy was implemented in St. Lucia \u2013 an effort for which our operations received international recognition at the 2019 IGA Global Rally in San Diego. In Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago, a regularly scheduled system for the collection of plastic waste, brought in by customers to store locations, has facilitated a mind shift in the way customers sort and dispose of non-recyclable waste. In St. Vincent, Guyana, and other territories Massy Stores has been focused on empowering active environmental groups through financial contributions to support their efforts. Regionally, over US$40,000 was awarded to environmental groups over the past year.<\/p>\nMassy Stores remains committed to doing its part, sharing best practices, listening to stakeholders and collaborating with its diverse, valued customers to be A Force for Good for the region.<\/p>\n","image":"","link":"https:\/\/massystorestt.com\/40-5-million-plastic-bags-removed-across-5-caribbean-territories-one-year-after-massy-stores-announced-bag-charge\/"},{"title":"5 Little Known Benefits of Drinking Water","headline":"The benefits of drinking water have been much discussed in the media.

Water helps keep you hydrated, which is important because every single cell in your body needs it in order to absorb nutrients and expel waste products. But what are some of the less well known benefits of drinking water?<\/p>\n<h2>1) Drinking Water Keeps You Young<\/b><\/h2>\nDrinking plenty of water is great for your skin. If you don’t drink enough water, you’ll suffer from dry skin, and you’ll be likely to use more creams and lotions to moisturize. However, creams and lotions don’t strike at the root of the problem. Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin moisturized and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.<\/p>\nIf you don’t drink enough water, your body will try to retain it in order to conserve resources. This retention makes your skin puffy and can even lead to bloating.<\/p>\n<h2>2) Drinking Water Helps You Lose Weight<\/b><\/h2>\nThere’s a reason why most diets and fitness programs ask you to drink a lot of water. One of the benefits of drinking water is that it helps you lose weight.<\/p>\nWater suppresses your appetite, so you don’t eat as much. Drinking plenty of water also prevents fluid retention, because your body won’t try to retain water if it’s getting enough.<\/p>\nDrinking water also helps your body burn stored fat. If you’re not drinking enough water, your liver will be forced to help your kidneys detoxify your body. When you drink plenty of water, your kidneys don’t need any extra help, so your liver will be able to metabolize stored fat more efficiently. Drinking water flushes toxins from your body and prevents constipation.<\/p>\n<h2>3) Drinking Water Helps You Build Muscle<\/b><\/h2>\nAnother benefit of drinking water is that it makes your muscles stronger. That’s because water carries oxygen to the cells of your body, including those of your muscles. Drinking plenty of water enables your muscles to work harder and longer before they feel tired, and this can help you build muscle.<\/p>\n<h2>4) Drinking Water Makes You Smarter<\/b><\/h2>\nDrinking water can increase your cognitive function. Your brain needs a lot of oxygen in order to function at optimum levels. Drinking plenty of water ensures that your brain gets all the oxygen it needs. Drinking eight to ten cups of water per day can improve your levels of cognitive performance by as much as 30%!<\/p>\nDrinking plenty of water also supports nerve function. It ensures that your body’s electrolyte levels remain high enough to allow your nerves to relay messages to and from the brain in the way they were meant to.<\/p>\n<h2>5) Drinking Water Is Good for Your Joints<\/b><\/h2>\nOne of the lesser known benefits of drinking water is that it helps keep your joints strong, healthy and lubricated. Your joints need moisture in order to remain strong and flexible, so that your movements are smooth and pain free.<\/p>\n<h5>Courtesy: http:\/\/www.fitday.com\/<\/h5>\n","image":"http:\/\/massystorestt.com","link":"https:\/\/massystorestt.com\/5-little-known-benefits-of-drinking-water\/"},{"title":"6 Reasons Why You Should Stop Dining Out","headline":"If you are leading a busy lifestyle and you are\u00a0dining out\u00a0frequently, you should make a point to eat at home more often. Eating at home…<\/p>\n","excerpt":"<a href=\"http:\/\/massystorestt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/african_american_family_eating_in_restaurant_BLD078879.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1915\" src=\"http:\/\/massystorestt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/african_american_family_eating_in_restaurant_BLD078879.jpg\" alt=\"African American family eating in restaurant\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\nIf you are leading a busy lifestyle and you are\u00a0dining out\u00a0frequently, you should make a point to eat at home more often. Eating at home requires more time and effort, but it can be beneficial to you in many ways. Here are six reasons why you should stop dining out.<\/p>\n1. Save Money<\/strong><\/p>\nOne of the most important benefits of dining at home is that you can save money. Meat, vegetables and other ingredients from Massy Stores are very affordable, and the total cost of a homemade meal is much less than the cost of a meal at a moderately expensive restaurant. If you buy food from say the local grill, you may end up spending about $50.00 for a meal. With this amount of money, you can actually prepare up to two or three ordinary meals at home. Eating at home will bring about substantial savings in the long run.<\/p>\n2. Healthy Lifestyle<\/strong> \nAlthough restaurants are offering more\u00a0nutritious food\u00a0options these days, the choices are often limited. Most foods that are served in restaurants contain high amounts of sodium, fat and calories, and they can be detrimental to your health if they are consumed on a regular basis. If you eat at home, you can choose your own low-fat and low-calorie ingredients to prepare your meals. Eating at home is\u00a0one of the best ways\u00a0to promote a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n3. Know What You Are Eating<\/strong><\/p>\nAnother disadvantage of dining out is that you cannot know exactly what you are eating. While you can see the meats and vegetables that are used to prepare your meal, you may not know what ingredients go into the sauces and seasoning. Also, chefs can make mistakes, and they may accidentally add some things that they should not into your food. If you prepare your own food at home, you will know exactly what you are eating. This is especially important if you are allergic to certain foods.<\/p>\n4. Reduce Temptations<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you are going on a diet, eating at home can help you stay faithful to your diet plan. When you are dining out, you will be exposed to greater temptation to eat tasty but unhealthy food. Also, it is more likely that you will forget about your dietary restrictions if you are eating out with your friends. While it is possible to overcome the temptations, it is still better to stay away from such situations entirely.<\/p>\n5. Increase Energy<\/strong><\/p>\nEating\u00a0nutritious food\u00a0and living a healthy lifestyle will give you more energy, and it enables you to perform your daily duties with ease. Doing chores such as cooking and washing dishes will also make you more active, and it can help you become a more responsible person.<\/p>\n6. Family Time<\/strong><\/p>\nEating at home offers an excellent opportunity\u00a0for family\u00a0bonding. You can talk to your children about school or your spouse about their day at work over\u00a0dinner.<\/p>\n(Article re-purposed from FitDay)<\/p>\n","image":"http:\/\/massystorestt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/6-reasons-why-you-should-dine-in.jpg","link":"https:\/\/massystorestt.com\/6-reasons-why-you-should-stop-dining-out\/"},{"title":"6 Types of Produce You Should Not Refrigerate","headline":"Certain items are at their prime when stored at room temperature.

And while you may know how to cook and eat these, are you storing them correctly? Here are 6 market finds that should stay out of the fridge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nPotatoes<\/strong><\/p>\nRefrigeration adversely affects their flavour, so store in the cupboard in paper bags (plastic bags trap moisture and speed decay), or do like granny did and keep it in a basket on the counter. Most varieties should last three weeks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nTomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\nThe chill of the icebox makes tomatoes dull and mealy. Store on the counter (under-ripe ones can go on the windowsill). If they begin to get too ripe, it\u2019s time to make tomato choka or some homemade tomato sauce.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nWatermelons<\/strong><\/p>\nKeep watermelons on the counter for best flavour. Research has found that storage at room temperature may even help keep the antioxidants better intact. Once cut, store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nOnions<\/strong><\/p>\nUncut onions are happy out of the cold. In fact, they like their original mesh bag (or any bag that allows for air circulation) in the pantry. But keep them away from potatoes, which emit moisture and gases that can cause onions to rot. Once cut open, place in a resealable bag in the vegetable drawer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nGarlic<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you store these loosely so air can move around it, the powerful flavor will be preserved. Once the head has been broken open, use the cloves within 10 days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nApples<\/strong><\/p>\nApples will do well (and look pretty) on your counter. If they aren\u2019t eaten after a week or two, make them last a little bit longer by then chilling them in the fridge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","image":"http:\/\/massystorestt.com","link":"https:\/\/massystorestt.com\/6-types-of-produce-you-should-not-refrigerate\/"}])
