Jillee TODAY'S GOOD THING This Is The Easiest Single-Serving Treat You'll Ever Make [Photos of Jillee eating a rice krispie treat.]( With this snack-sized recipe, you can treat yourself to a homemade rice krispie treat anytime. I don’t know the exact number of times I've made rice krispie treats over the years, but I’m sure it’s near triple digits. It was my go-to easy dessert for years after Kell was diagnosed with celiac (though I wish I'd learned sooner that Kellogg’s Rice Krispies aren't totally gluten free—but you live and learn.) The gluten debacle notwithstanding, our affinity for homemade rice krispie treats is still very much alive and well. And since we had a partial bag of marshmallows left over from making s’mores on the 4th, my first thought was to make rice krispie treats. We didn’t have quite enough marshmallows for that, but I wasn't disappointed for long. I had a vague memory of writing about single-serving rice krispie treats on my blog ages ago, so I dug up the recipe and made one, and now I can't believe I ever let it slip my mind! I’m confident you'll love this quick and easy treat as much as I do, so I'm sharing the recipe with you today. So check out the simple recipe below, give it a try, and drop me a line to let me know what you think!

Keep your swimwear in great shape with these 3 tips. 1. Rinse Before And After Swimming. Before you hop in the water, rinse off and soak your suit—if it’s already saturated with clean water, it won’t absorb as much of the chlorinated water or salt water while you’re swimming. When you’re done swimming for the day, jump back in the shower and rinse your swimsuit thoroughly. 2. Wash Gently. Much like delicate bras, swimsuits can be damaged by washing machines, and taking the time to hand wash them can help lengthen their lifespan. It’s easy to do too—just follow the same process for [hand washing a bra](. After washing swimsuits, lay them out flat indoors or in the shade and allow them to air dry. 3. Try A Chlorine Neutralizer. If you’re spending a lot of time in chlorinated pools, you may want to invest in a chlorine neutralizer like [Summer Solutions](. Special cleansers like these neutralize and remove chlorine from swimwear, which can help minimize damage and keep swimwear in better condition over time. BEAUTY Make A Versatile Ointment With 2 Ingredients [A photo of someone rubbing ointment on their hands.]( This natural ointment is great for both hydrating and healing skin, and it’s so easy to make! Ointments like Vaseline can help to moisturize dry skin and heal minor wounds, and this homemade version offers the same benefits. In fact, it probably offers more benefits than its store-bought counterparts thanks to its two components: beeswax and olive oil. Olive oil is an antioxidant-rich moisturizer, and natural beeswax not only has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, but it’s also an occlusive ingredient that seals in moisture while keeping dirt and irritants out. Plus, you can whip it up in just a few minutes. Here's how to do it: Add 2 tablespoons of beeswax pellets and 1/2 cup of olive oil to a glass bowl and set it over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until the wax has melted and combined with the oil, then pour the melted oil mixture into a small container with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the mixture to cool completely before using. How To Use It: Use your homemade ointment to soften and rehydrate dry lips, control unruly eyebrows and flyaways, heal minor cuts and scrapes, moisturize dry noses and nasal passages, soften tough skin, [and more](.
