Tuesday Tip of the Day!


Icy Relief for Injuries - Gel Packs

Instead of expensive frozen gel ice packs, I fill small Vacuum Sealer Bags (cut and made to my preferred size) with ice cubes then pour in enough rubbing alcohol (or dish soap) to cover the ice. I vacuum seal the bags with my FoodSaver machine, allow the ice to melt and then refreeze. The alcohol prevents the mixture from freezing hard and it stays pliable. These ice packs are easily refrozen for another use and I keep several in the freezer so they are always on hand. - Frawn G.

Maybe even throw in a splash of food coloring for little kids!!
