Tip of the Day #68: Microfiber Mops

Invest in a microfiber mop! Vacuums and brooms just move debris and dust around. Not only are the cloths washable and reusable, but they pick up even the smallest particles and can fit under tables and dressers. They are especially amazing for pet hair!

Tip of the Day #67: Summer Months w Kids

With the summer months upon us, it is especially important that children continue to stretch their minds and learn. Make a 'Summer Challenge' calendar with a different activity each day for your kiddos to do--they do not have to be difficult, but it allows for your child to think and be proud of their accomplishments! Once they complete the task, have them put a stick over the activity! As you can see, my daughter likes to do more than one a day! Lol

Tip of the Day #66: Fresh Bathrooms!

Fill your bathroom with an everlasting, fresh aroma! Simply place a few drops of essential oil (I use Lemongrass scent) onto the cardboard tube of your toilet paper roll--your bathroom will smell amazing until the roll is complete and you begin again! :)

Tip of the Day #65: Hair Conditioner as Shaving Cream

Have you ever purchased a bottle of conditioner you did not care for? Instead of wasting it, use it in place of shaving cream. It works even better and will last a lot longer than shaving cream as you only need a little bit at a time! :)

Tip of the Day #64: Fixing Dull Leather

Brighten dulled leather chairs by rubbing with half a lemon or stale beer then polish with a dry cloth.

Tip of the Day #63: Preventing clothes from Bleeding

To prevent new or coloured clothes from 'bleeding,' soak in salty water for half an hour. The salty water helps the dye "set," which keeps it on your clothes instead of in the wash water. Also, soften your water with white vinegar. Hard water transfers colors in the wash more easily, but it is easy to soften the water with 1/2 cup of vinegar every time you wash.

Tip of the Day #62: Egg Substitution in Baking

Did you know you can substitute eggs in a cake mix recipe for a CAN OF SODA?! They are even more moist and delicious than the original recipe! :) Make sure to match the colour of the pop with the batter--ie. coke for chocolate, gingerale for white, etc.
