1. Garlic/Onion Breath? Eat some cholocate. It will take the garlic/onion breath away... 2. Broken Glass Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass that you can't see easily. 3. No More Mosquitoes Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away. 4. 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. 5. Reducing Static Cling Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. The same thing that works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -- ta da! -- static is gone. 6. Measuring Cups Fill the measuring cup with hot water. Then, 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. 7. Foggy Windshield? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows become fog, rub them with the eraser! Works better than a cloth! 8. Re-Opening Envelope If you sealed an envelope and then realized you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. It unseals easily after this procedure. 9. Conditioner Use your hair conditioner to shave. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your skin really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you've bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair... 10. Newspaper Weeds Away Wet newspapers and put layers around the plants. Overlap the newspaper as you cover with mulch. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic, but they will not get through wet newspapers. |
