Slice a handful of lemons and limes into a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. As the solution simmers, it infuses your home with the fresh, clean scent of citrus. This method also works with cinnamon, either sticks or ground cinnamon, which delivers a homey, natural scent.

Lemons are best kept in the fridge—period. Stashed in the fridge in the crisper drawer or on a shelf, fresh lemons will keep for a week or more. If you really want your lemons to last, pop them in a sealed container (there are even specialty produce keepers for this purpose) or a zip-top bag.

Cherries and berries: Keep refrigerated. For best flavor, consume them the same day you purchase them. Citrus fruits (such as lemons, limes, grapefruit, oranges): Citrus fruits, which don’t ripen further after they’re picked and are relatively long-storage fruits, keep for up to three weeks in the fridge.

Freshen the Air Here is a natural, not to mention inexpensive alternative: Simmer a half dozen lemon slices and a handful of cloves in a pan of water. This eliminates odors in your home, leaving the air lemony fresh!

Lemon will have the same effect on your skin. It helps to even skin tone by fading scars, age spots, and even freckles!

Studies also show that regularly using lemon on your skin reduces and slows down early wrinkling! It often takes 2 to 3 weeks to see the visible effects of using lemon to lighten the skin and make it glow.
