These are the things that you hear from your mom or your grandmother– the little tidbits of knowledge that get passed along. I have also found tons of little tips from the Queen of Good Things (Martha Stewart) and from Real Simple.
1. Use a few small marshmallows in your brown sugar to prevent it from getting hard/dried out
2. Use a clean toothbrush to get the threads out of corn on the cob
3. Use a raw piece of spaghetti to light a hard to reach candle
4. Use socks as travel shoe bags for your shoes in your suitcase
5. Use a bright wallet so it’s easy to spot in your big purse
6. Store your flat and fitted sheet in the matching pillowcase to keep it organized
7. Use a coat of nail polish to prevent rust on the bottom of shave gel cans, etc
8. Use a damp sponge to wipe up pet hair off of uphostery
9. Use hair conditioner as shave gel- cheaper and great
10. Use a penny in the water of wilted tulips to bring their zest back
11. Use a dryer sheet and water to get pans with tough stains clean
What tips do you have to share?
How have I lived 31 years and not known this?!?
brown sugar stops bleeding tongues/teeth…
My brown sugar won’t be like concrete anymore!! Thanks!
I love tips like these! I’ve never tried the spaghetti one, that sounds like a winner!
