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 GLASS SHOWER
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 YOUR 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. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really
works.

EASY DEVIL 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 l ess
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.

How to best clean up BROKEN GLASS
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken glass pieces of
glass-the fibers catch ones you can't see! You can also use
a slice of fresh white bread.

How to keep MOSQUITOES away without using chemicals
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.

How to keep SQUIRRELS AWAY naturally without using chemicals
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.

EASIER THANK YOU'S
When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards
for the guest of honor. During the party, pass out the envelopes and
have everyone put their name and address on one. When the bride/new mom sends
the thank you cards, they're already pre-addressed!

How to secretly identify your property
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
who owns the bike.

Free FLEXIBLE VACUUM cleaner extension
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.

How to best REDUCE 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 and other kitchen utensils
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.

How to clean FOGGY WINDSHIELDS
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!

How to REOPEN ENVELOPES
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.

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...

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!

How to GET RID OF ANTS
  Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take
   it "home," & can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or
so, esp. if it rains, but it works & 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 your
ready to leave the bea ch spr inkle yourself and kids with the powder
and the sand will slide right off your skin.
