The tips below are from the Grandparent site.
Unless
you’re swimming the English Channel, we don’t recommend slathering your body
with petroleum jelly. As the name implies, it’s a by-product of oil refining,
so a little dab will do you! That said, it’s been in use since 1870, and
high-quality brands (like Vaseline, for example) are generally recognized as
safe.
Uses:
Keep
car doors from freezing shut: We got this tip from an Air Force
mechanic: Put a thin layer of petroleum jelly around the insulation of your car
door, and you won’t have to worry about your car doors freezing shut when the
next polar vortex hits.
Make
an at-home mani/pedi look perfect: Use a cotton swab to outline your
nails and nail polish won’t stick to your skin. Also, a thin layer of jelly
around the tops of your nail polish bottles will keep them opening easily.
Keep
ants out of the doggy bowl: Coat the outside of Fido or Fluffy’s food dish
with a thin layer of jelly and ants will dine elsewhere.
