Are grubs and
slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few
slices in a small pie tin and your garden will

off a scent undetectable to humans but drive
garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.

Looking for a fast and easy way to remove
cellulite before going out or to the pool?
Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers
along your problem area for a few minutes,

firming up the outer layer and reducing
the visibility of cellulite. (Maybe a whole cucumber for me ! ! !)
Works great on wrinkles, too!

Stressed out and don't have time for
massage, facial or visit to the spa?
