Purchase a few sticky traps (typically meant for rats or mice) and place them around your home wherever you believe there might be crickets. The crickets will walk over the trap and get stuck. Placing a bit of cornmeal in the center of each trap will help attract the crickets to the traps. Take a can of beer and empty the contents, leaving behind just a few drops. Leave the beer can lying on its side in the area where the crickets are. The crickets will be attracted to the beer and will crawl in the beer to get to the drops left inside, and get stuck inside. If you like to fish, you can take the crickets you've caught and use them as fish bait. Alternatively, you can cut the can open outside and release the crickets if you want to. This method will allow you to catch crickets without purchasing commercial sticky traps. Take a clean glass jar and place a generous spoonful inside the jar. Add a bit of water to make the molasses just a bit more runny. Place the open jar in the area where you have heard/seen crickets. The crickets will be attracted to the molasses, and will jump into the jar to get to it. The stickiness of the molasses will make it difficult for the crickets to escape. Be sure to clean out the jar regularly.

Take an old toothbrush, preferably one with straight bristles that are very soft, and put a bit of petroleum jelly on it. Rub the toothbrush on your lips in a circular motion. Leave the petroleum jelly on to rehydrate your lips, or apply a little more if most of it gets rubbed off. You won't want to use this toothbrush to brush your teeth again. You can save it in a clean dry place to use for exfoliation, but don't contaminate it by using it for other purposes. For sensitive lips, try a children's toothbrush. These are usually extra soft. If you don't want to use a toothbrush, you can do the same trick with a soft, clean washcloth. Mix a tablespoon of lemon juice with a tablespoon of castor oil or glycerin. Apply this to your lips and leave it on for an hour or so. Then, gently rub the mixture off with a soft washcloth wet with warm water. Moisturize as usual. This works well for chapped, dry lips and skin. Because of its grainy texture, oatmeal exfoliates well and can effectively absorb and remove dirt and impurities from your skin. Mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of oatmeal with 3 tablespoons (44.4 ml) of warm water or milk, and rub the mixture onto your lips in a circular motion for 1-2 minutes. Afterwards, rinse your lips with warm water and then cold water. Not only does it sound romantic, but using rose petals to exfoliate can moisturize your lips and add some red color to them. Soak some clean rose petals in raw milk for about 3 hours. When the petals are completely soaked, mash them up to make a paste. You can use a mortar and pestle or just the back of a large spoon. Once this is mashed to a paste, apply it to your lips in an even layer. This is a gentle exfoliant and moisturizer and may be helpful for sensitive skin. There are many lip scrubs on the market, such as LUSH lip scrub and e.l.f. lip exfoliator. Look for products with natural ingredients like aloe or shea butter, and avoid salicylic acid which can be too harsh.

It almost goes without saying that blooming marshmallows are meant for use in one particular drink. Of course, if you want to try it in another hot drink, the world is your oyster. One particular interesting option would be making the base with caramel flavored chocolate chips, adding allspice to your flower bud, and serving this alternative blooming marshmallow in hot apple cider.
