Are you Bananas?!



Today's topic is bananas...there are so many things you can do with them! (not to mention that they are healthy for you and very yummy too!) So, what else you may ask can you do with bananas besides eat them? You can...

• Restore Shine to a Plant's Leaves
   Easily dust your houseplant by rubbing the inside of a banana peel on each leaf. Not only will it 
   remove dust, it will also leave the leaves even shiner than before.

• Great for Compost
   Mix dried banana peels in with the soil next time you plant something new; you'll give it the
   potassium and phosphorous it needs to grow beautifully.

• Help Dry Hair
  Mash a banana and mix with a teaspoon of almond or olive oil. Rub the mixture into your hair and
  scalp, and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse off and shampoo and condition as usual. You'll be surprised
  at the results!

• Great for Smoothies
  Use bananas instead of ice the next time you make a smoothie. Just freeze them overnight and your
  good to go!

Heres a banana peeling secret...when peeling bananas, peel from the bottom up. This will eliminate the banana "strings" you get when peeling from the top down.

Happy reusing and repurposing! If you have any great tips, I would love to hear them...just comment below! These tips came from my Who Knew? book
