Tips and Tricks

1. Oop’s …added to much salt to a dish? Quickly peal a potato and throw it into the pot. The potato will absorb some of the salt and you can just scoop it out after a few minutes!

2. Do you find your, or your families clothes frequently get ruined with pen and marker stains? Next time you see a mark run to the medicine cabinet and get out your hairspray. Spray and scrub the mark until the unsightly spot comes out. You save the clothes and your wallet!

3. Does your garbage disposal have a funny smell you just can’t get rid of? Try picking up a lemon next time your at the store. Slice it and place it down the drain, then hit the garbage disposal switch and let the lemony pieces clean the blades and pipes. The acid cleans away the old smells and leaves the kitchen lemon fresh.

4. Does your garbage can always smell no matter how often you take it out? Next time you take out the bag add a little baking soda to the bottom of the bin and to the bottom of the bag when you put a new one in. Baking soda is a natural odor eliminator as it absorbs the negative smells. Refresh Soda at the bottom of the bin when you start to notice it isn’t working as well. Cheap and easy!

5. Accidentally got deodorant marks on your shirt/dress/etc. No problem! Take an old pair of panty house or a dry rag and run it over the mark. The Dry fabric will pick up the deodorant and remove the mark.

6. Static hair or clothes from getting in and out the car? Keep a drier sheet in the glove box and wave it over your clothes, hair or car seat and the static is magically gone!

7. It’s cold and flu season. Boost your immune system with a refreshing smoothie you can make at home! Equal parts orange juice, yogurt, banana (cut into pieces), milk and powdered protein blend all until smooth and serve cold. It gives you a boost of protein, potassium, vitamin C, calcium, vitamin D and needed live and active bacteria to keep your gut mobile and your immune system active!
