toothpaste is awesome

I hosted a knitting circle this evening with some fellow creative lady friends of mine. I love to cook and made some yummy spinach artichoke dip (thanks Rachel Ray!), but ever so smoothly burnt my arm while pulling the pan out of the oven. It hurt! (duh) Unfortunately, I’m not adequately prepared for any sort of emergency in my apartment… I don’t think I even have band-aids. So, when the ice wasn’t cutting it I remembered hearing something about toothpaste helping burns… or maybe bee stings… but hopefully both. I looked up burn remedies on the internet and voila, my inkling was confirmed. I decided to give it a try and it worked! It immediately started dulling the pain and now it doesn’t hurt at all, although I have a stylish wad of toothpaste spread across my arm. I figured I would share my experience so that you, my friend, can enjoy fast relief when you burn yourself in a not-so-smooth manner. (aka, I’m bored and haven’t posted in a few days)
