Making Your Hair Grow Faster?
I have used olive oil or carrot oil or tea tree oil. It wont make your hair grow thicker or grow faster, but it is good for your hair and scalp. It only made my hair shiny and healthy. =~) As we grow older, our hair slows down its growing, as in anything else...

Ink off Leather Sofa?
Try rubbing a bit of lemon juice on the area. Let sit for a few minutes and wipe off gently with a damp cloth. I use lemon juice to clean most everything. Hope it works for you!

Storing Cookie Cutters
