SIMPLE TIPS AND TRICKS

Do you have any tips and tricks you want to share? I have a few to get started! Some of them may surprise you. I came across some of these while surfing the net one day.

1. You know how you never get all of the mascara out of the tube before it dries out? I saw on Pinterest that you can add 4-5 drops of saline solution, insert the wand, stir it up and tah-dah! You can do this 3 or 4 times or until you use up all of the mascara.

2.  To keep stainless steel appliances clean, use a little bit of baby oil on a soft cloth and buff into the surface. Then wipe clean with a dry cloth. It prevents fingerprints from sticking to the surface. If you dont have baby oil, use some Pledge. Bonus for the lemony-fresh scent!



3.  You can reuse the foaming soap dispensers. Simply fill them with water and a teaspoon of antibacterial dish soap and voila. Instant cheap refill!   4.  Did you ever think polishing your sink with car wax would keep toothpaste from sticking. Also car wax also works great to keep fiberglass tubs shiny and makes them resist soap scum.

5.  How about this one...This works wonders for warts- instead of spending tons of cash on the special band aids, just take a square of duck tape and cover the wart. It cuts off all of the oxygen and kills it without having to put that burning liquid on.
6.  Did you know that weeds will not grow through wet newspaper? I saw this on Pinterest, and backed it up from BHandG. When planting flowers mix up the dirt, then place a thick layer of wet newspapers down around the plants. Then cover with your top soil and mulch. Apparently weeds can get through plastic, but not this stuff. (I wouldn't know, I can only get weeds to grow- I kill pretty much everything else!)

7.  Reheat pizza in a skillet on the stove to make an extra crispy crust.

8.  Line your fridge shelves with Glad Press and Seal paper. Just press down to create a seal that will keep your shelves nice and clean!

9.  Dawn gets any grease stain out, even after it has gone through the dryer!


10.  And finally... A sweet lovey told me her Grandma stores lettuce in the waxpaper bag from inside a cereal box, and it lasts twice as long. Nothing beats a tip from a Grammy!
