My family and I enjoy cukes for eye refreshing. They hold a mineral which is good for your eyes and supply cooling water refreshing for your eyes. My eyes are dry thanks to Guillian Barre, I need to add moisture to the eye itself for relief of a normal day's dryness. Simply cut the cuke into nice slices. Close the bedroom door. Make the room quiet and private. Lay down with a slice of cuke on each eye for 20 minutes. This might seem silly, yet my doctors and my eye doctor have told me to do this daily. Believe me, you will understand the relief and refreshment these simple cheap veggies will give your eyes.
If you want to make your own vanilla extract, drop two vanilla beans into a fifth of either vodka or gin and let it stand for a month. After 30 days you will have vanilla extract. Use the cheapest vodka you can find. This is much more economical than purchasing vanilla extract from the market.
