SOME GREAT TIPS
Bed Sheets
After drying my sheets, put both
sheets and one pillowcase in the other
pillow case. Fold neatly in a
square. Next time you change sheets,
you
just take the one pillow case and all
the sheets and pillow case are
inside. No need to look for matches.
Clean Your Shower Glass
To clean the glass in your shower
easily, apply lemon juice to the glass
with a sponge. Then, take newspaper
and wipe the lemon juice off the
glass. It will be clean and sparkle
with no scrubbing!
Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick
skillet on top of the stove, set heat
to med-low and heat till warm. This
keeps the crust crispy. No soggy
micro pizza.
Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock
bag. Seal, mash till they are all
broken up. Add remainder of
ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it
up mixing
thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy,
squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw
bag away when done easy clean up.
Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake
frosting from the store, whip it with
your
mixer for a few minutes. You can
double it in size. You get to frost
more
cake/cupcakes with the same amount.
You also eat less sugar/calories
per serving.
Reheating Refrigerated Bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins
that were refrigerated, place them
in a microwave with a cup of water.
The increased moisture will keep the
food moist and help it reheat faster.
Newspaper Weeds-Away
Start putting in your plants, work the
nutrients in your soil. Wet
newspapers, put layers around the
plants overlapping as you go, cover
with
mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds
will get through some gardening
plastic, they will not get through wet
newspapers.
Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up
little broken pieces of glass - the
fibers catch ones you can't see!
No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket.
It will keep the mosquitoes away.
Squirrel Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your
plants sprinkle your plants with
cayenne
pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't
hurt the plant and the squirrels
won't come near it.
New Bike
If you purchase a new bike for your
child, place their picture inside the
handle bar before placing the grips
on. If the bike is stolen and later
recovered, remove the grip and there
is your proof of who owns the bike.
Flexible Vacuum
To get something out of a heat
register or under the fridge add an
empty
paper towel roll or empty gift wrap
roll to your vacuum. It can be bent
or flattened to get in narrow openings.
Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of
your slip and you will not have a
clingy skirt or dress. Same thing
works with slacks that cling when
wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam
of slacks and -- voila --
static is gone.
Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into
a measuring cup, fill it with hot
water. Dump out the hot water, but
don't dry the cup. Next, add your
ingredient, such as peanut butter, and
watch how easily it comes right out.
Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a
chalkboard eraser and keep it in the
glove
box of your car. When the windows
fog, rub with the eraser! Works
better than a cloth!
Reopening Envelope
If you seal an envelope and then
realize you forgot to include
something
inside, just place your sealed
envelope in the freezer for an hour or
two. Voila! It unseals easily.
Hair Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave
your legs. It's a lot cheaper than
shaving cream and leaves your legs
really smooth. It's also a great way
to
use up the conditioner you bought but
didn't like when you tried it in your
hair.
Good-Bye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take
a small glass fill it 1/2" with Apple
Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of
dishwashing liquid, mix well. You
will find
those flies drawn to the cup and gone
forever!
Get Rid Of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you
see ants. They eat it, take it
"home," and can't digest it so it
kills them. It may take a week or
so,especially
if it rains, but it works and you
don't have the worry about pets or
small
children being harmed!
Take Baby Powder To The Beach
Keep a small bottle of baby powder in
your beach bag. When you're ready to
leave the beach sprinkle yourself and
kids with the powder and the sand
will slide right off your skin .
