Pimple Cure

Every now and then I still get a pimple on my face, and it is very embarrassing. The magic cure for pimples is hand sanitizer! As soon as the pimple starts, keep dabbing just the pimple with hand sanitizer, whenever you think of it. This is amazing. It can make the most awful of pimples go away faster. If you end up squeezing it, keep dabbing with the hand sanitizer. Dries it right up.

Bluetooth Went Through the Wash!

When I took my pants out of the washing machine to put them in the dryer, my bluetooth fell out of the pocket. It had gone through the entire wash cycle with soap and everything. This bluetooth was expensive, so I was upset. A friend told me to set it in a cup of white rice, so I did just that. I covered it completely with rice and put a lid on the container so the rice could absorb all of the moisture. After 24 hours I checked it, and it was kind of working, so I left it in the container with the rice for another 24 hours, and then one more day, and sure enough, it is working perfectly now!

How to Save Money

Whether you have plenty of money or just barely enough, the easiest way to save money is to only spend money when you really need to . . . not just because you can. When you add it up, it is surprising how much we spend on the non-essentials. Before you buy anything, ask yourself if you REALLY need this. If you don't, then DON'T buy it! It's that simple. It's like going on a diet -- at first it's really hard to make the change, but within one week, it will become second nature and you'll feel so much happier for it.

Proof of buying stuff we don't need: 
Our homes are cluttered with stuff we don't really care about or need. It is an epidemic. Professional organizing is a thriving industry dealing with this problem.

Lint Removal

Do you ever get lint on your dark colored clothing from the washing machine?  Not the fluffy lint, but the type you have to brush off and work hard at it.  Here is a very easy solution:   take a pair of nylons or nylon knee highs, and rub the nylon back and forth on the linty fabric. Voila! Works like a charm. Much better than a lint brush.

Eggs

People tell me I make the most delicious eggs they've ever eaten. Whether they're scrambled or fried, for some reason they are so tasty that people always comment . . . .

My secret is simple:  treat the eggs very gently. If you're making scrambled eggs or an omelet, do not over-beat the eggs before pouring them into the pan. Gently stir them with a fork in a bowl (with seasoning) for a few moments. The pan has to be hot, then put in cold butter, and then pour the eggs in. Cook them quickly and then serve them on a plate right away.  Yum!

Candy Crush Tips

If you play Candy Crush (I love this game), the best advice I can give you is to combine a striped candy and wrapped candy as often as possible. The more games you play, the better chance you have to finally beat that level. I've spent as much as 3 weeks on one level, and then all of a sudden, things fall into place and I beat the level. Good luck!

How to Roll Your Sleeves Up

If you wear a button down shirt but want to roll the sleeves up, here's a great tip -- before you put your shirt on, roll up the sleeves, and then just put the shirt on. The rolls come out neater and just plain look better than if you rolled up the sleeves while you're wearing the shirt.

Cleaning the Tub

After you scrub/clean your tub, the easiest way to rinse everything down is to use your indoor plant water can -- mine is plastic and has a very long spout. I fill it with water from the tub spout and then pour it into all four corners of the tub and the walls, and all of the cleaning soap rinses down beautifully.
