I am a habitual flosser.

One time in high school, I had a piece of broccoli in my teeth for what I can only assume was a week before I saw it there.

It wasn't in a back tooth, or a side. It was smack dab in between my two front teeth- the one's I got for Christmas.

And it was BIG. It was like the entire stalk took up residence in the gap between my teeth. When I looked in the mirror- I was mortified. It was close to the end of the day, and I had eaten broccoli for dinner the NIGHT BEFORE.

From that day on, I became a floss addiction. There is dental floss in my car, my diaper bag, and in every room of my house. I even make my husband carry some in his briefcase- just incase.

I floss about 10 times a day. If I even eat a mint, I floss.

OBSESSED MUCH!??!?

Since I have an over-abundance of dental floss, I had to start thinking of new ways to use it. Here is what I found!

Remove cookies from your baking sheet!

Use dental floss to easily remove cookies from a baking sheet. Hold a length of dental floss tight and slide it neatly between the cookie bottom and the sheet. Of course, you may want to break a FEW cookies. Broken cookies have no calories, the breaking causes calorie leakage.


Cut the cheese ( hehe) and cake too!

I totally stole this from Rachel Ray- but it works! Just hold some floss tightly over the cake and use a sawing motion as you move down. You can also use dental floss to cut small blocks of cheese neatly.


Hang it up!

Use floss instead of string or wire to securely hang pictures, sun catchers, and wind chimes.

Button up!

Sew buttons back on with dental floss. It's stronger than thread, which makes it perfect on coats, jackets, and heavy shirts.

 
Picture this!
When your photos are stuck together, carefully run a piece of dental floss between them. They will pry apart without getting ruined.
String it along!
Use dental floss to make necklaces or bracelets with that little princess in your life. Add beads and have fun!
Tie your turkey!
My mom uses floss to tie her turkey together at Thanksgiving. Just hog tie him up before you cook him!
Actually use it on your teeth!
My dentist once told me you don't have to floss EVERY tooth. Just the ones you want to keep!
Stop surfing the web and GO floss!
Until we meet again,

My college English professor would be having heart failure over my paragraph spacing- but this software hates me. (It did NOT get the memo!) But don't worry, my awesome tech guy will solve it before lunch!
