When it comes to sunburn remedies, everyone seems to have their own special "recipe" to soothe the pain. There are also dozens of ready-made (and often expensive) lotions, creams, and gels that claim to help relieve sunburn pain, heal the skin, and prevent peeling. But, if you really want to heal a sunburn fast, you don't need to make any crazy concoctions or spend a lot of money!
Here are a few simple, cheap and effective natural sunburn remedies you can try next time you forget the to put on the sunscreen...
1. White Vinegar -- One of the best home remedies for sunburn is white vinegar. First clean the burned skin with cool water. Don't rub or use soap because that can dry and irritate the skin even more. Pat the skin dry with a soft towel. Then apply the vinegar. You can soak towels with it and lay them on the burned skin for a few minutes. Or you can fill a spray bottle with vinegar and spray it directly onto the skin. It will smell bad at first but the smell will soon dissipate. Let the vinegar dry (which usually takes about 5 minutes). Your skin should feel much, much better almost immediately!
2. Unsweetened Tea -- Applying cold, sugarless black or green tea to sunburned skin can help relieve the pain and speed healing. Tannins and antioxidants in the tea will make your skin feel better pretty quickly. Simply soak some towels with the tea and lay them on the sunburned areas. Cold, wet tea bags are especially useful for sunburned eyelids because the tea won't sting your eyes like the vinegar.
3. Whole-Fat Milk -- People have been using whole milk to soothe sunburns for centuries. The fat and other compounds in the milk will relieve much of the pain as well as moisturize the skin to help with healing. Just soak a soft towel in the milk and dab it on the skin for about 20 to 30 minutes. Afterwards take a cool shower or rinse with cold water to rinse the milk off. Again, be sure not to use soap!
4. Vitamin E/Aloe Vera/Apple Cider Vinegar Balm -- You can make a sunburn balm that's just as powerful as anything you can find in the drugstore by simply mixing some vitamin E oil with apple cider vinegar and aloe vera gel. All 3 ingredients are pretty inexpensive and can be found in just about any health food store as well as many grocery stores. Break open 3 or 4 vitamin E capsules into a small bowl and add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and a third of a cup of aloe vera gel (the fresher the better). Mix them together well and apply the balm to your sunburned skin. Do this twice a day for the next few days. This natural remedy is extremely effective at cooling sunburned skin while providing nutrients that greatly decrease the time needed to heal damaged skin!
A few other simple things you can do to heal a sunburn quickly include: drinking lots of pure water throughout the day, eating lots of vitamin C-rich foods, and staying in the shade until your sunburn completely heals.

"How To Make Money Online",
very often followed by the conditions, that it should not be with Adsense, high ticket products or through a huge list.
That's simply because newbies don't have time and/or money to build an Adsense emporium and they don't have a big list, if any at all, nor do they have products,so they can't sell high ticket items!
So, then what's my answer to how to make money online?
Butterfly Marketing?
No, I use my own strategy and I call it ...
"Drizzle Marketing"!
We don't like drizzles, do we? I gonna make you like them! Read on.
In June, while attending the JV Alert Live event, I saw Joel Comm drop a handfull of coins into a bowl.
He dropped them one after the other, thus creating a tick or two every second. That was to visualize how you can make money online using Adsense.
To be completely honest, I had seen that before. John Reese did that during his famous 'Traffic' seminar and that was recorded on one of his Traffic DVD's.
But when I saw Joel do that for Adsense, I thought why not do that with products?
You see, many experts teach you that selling high ticket items costs as much effort as selling low priced products.
While that may be true in terms of 'effort', there's also something like the 'price-threshold'. The conversion rates of high ticket items is much lower than for low priced ones.
So in order to make a certain amount, you have to have a bigger list or audience (which we don't have, remember?), while low priced products only need more sales!
And that's exactly what the low price will do!
Automatically!
So the idea is to offer great products, possibly with resell rights so the buyer will profit from that too, for a low price. With each offer, you drop your coins in your bowl. If you repeat that process frequently, you create a drizzle!
The 'price-threshold' is low and you will generate quite a number of sales. Added up, it could mean the same amount of money as for selling high ticket items with low conversion rates.
I've implemented that idea on one of my websites. You can find this example here:

Of course you will need products with value that are not wide spreaded around the Net. So you have to carefully select them.
And, if possible, they not only have to deliver value for money, but make the buyer some money too! If you have such a product, then you have a great answer to the question 'how to make money online'.
This drizzle strategy works like charm. I've tested it and the results increase every day.
And I'm not the only one. Coincidently my friend Frank Sousa writes about it in his latest newsletter too! He calls it 'the money is in the drop'.
And Willie Crawford wrote in a forum post last week (partially quoted):
I use to have a real problem with people underpricing products.
I guess this was fueled by the fact that several times I had gone out and spent as much as $997 for reprint rights to a product only to see it being sold dirt cheap a few days later by someone who had also purchased a license.
In the past two weeks, I have been offered resale rights to a number of inexpensive items where I bought the rights and then actively marketed the items. One of those items sells for only $4.95 (I broke it out of a larger package). I've been very surprised to earn nearly $5000 profit in the past two weeks selling these inexpensive items (through ezine ads, sig files, solo mailings, and article marketing).
See? The strategy seems to work!
Now, here's the real kicker. This strategy, when implemented, does not only make you money online, but, maybe more important, it builds you a list of ...
customers!
And that's probably the most amazing thing about drizzle marketing. You don't just build a list, you're gathering info from people who actually bought from you. That's what makes this strategy so interesting, because they are the best prospects for your next product.
