Broccoli and Brussel Sprout Leaves?
As far as I know the broccoli ones are. I do not know about the Brussels sprouts ones. I used to buy fresh broccoli for stir fry, and Id cut the florets bite-sized, then peel and slice the stems like water chestnuts, and throw all the leaves in, too. MMM! Even...
Getting a Kitten to Eat Dry Cat Food?
When my first furry baby was a kitten, he adopted me in his travels. He really wasnt used to such things as dry cat food and balanced nutrition. I bought him kitten chow and cat milk. Rather than having him drink the milk I would mix some with the dry food...
Keeping Track Of The Grocery Bill When Shopping
I do something similar, I keep a running total, rounding up to the nearest 10 cents. For instance if something is $4.78, I round up to $4.80. By the time I get to checkout I am usually within a dollar of my total.
How to Repair Small Holes in T-Shirts?
Go to a fabric or crafts store and purchase a small amount of iron-on interfacing, in a light weight. Tear off a very small piece, just a bit larger than the hole; iron the hole area smooth, on the wrong side, and iron the interfacing to the wrong side of the...
Not So Frugal Newlyweds?
I work at a bank, and therefore see accounts in varying states of disarray. My advice is, if you want to keep the joint account, you should each get a personal account as well. Either destroy the checkcards for the joint account or never take them out of the...
Dyeing Bleach Spots From Black Dress?
I agree with both, dyeing is too iffy and a sharpie is likely your best bet. The reason why? Here is a little fabric chemistry: once you bleach something, its chemical composition changes permanently as such that it will no longer hold dye particles. If it...
Dyeing Your Hair With Jell-O?
We used to use Kool-aid for ours. It worked better for those who had naturally dry hair or damaged hair. We would shampoo our hair and rinse well, then mix the Kool-aid, 1 or 2 packs of unsweetened, in a little bit of conditioner, put it on with or without...
What Is Your Skin Care Schedule?
I wash my face with water all week long. I use water warm enough to dissolve any makeup which may linger. Before bed I wipe off most of my makeup with a dry tissue, or I may use eye makeup remover if I have on mascara. I only usually use eye liner and something...
Virgin Mobile Reviews?
Heres one for you: I got my dad a Virgin Mobile phone for Christmas, because I worry about him out and about alone. No problem with the phone, really, but get this: Someone got a number, on MY VIRGIN MOBILE ACCOUNT, for their phone. I had no idea until I got...
Keep Your Tank Full Just In Case
I agree, and it is a lot easier to do than one might think. Some think it is more expensive to do this, but overall it is about the same. The only expensive part is the first time you fill the tank, if it is near empty. After that it is easy, unless you do...
Updating My Bathroom?
Im thinking, paint the walls around the tiles a pale but cheery (not too pale) shade of pink, yellow, or turquoise, and leave the tiles alone. Maybe get a cute stencil and coordinating paint to stencil a few of the tiles (stencil with white first, let dry, then...
Satin Bow for a Prom Dress?
After you make the first loop, when you wrap the fabric around it in preperation to pull through for the second loop, wrap it around twice then push the fabric through both wraps to make the second loop. Pull it firmly to tighten both wraps while evening out...
Dry Hair and Dry Skin?
I have discovered, after burning curiosity and a bit of experimentation, that those foaming hand soap containers are usually refillable, no matter what the label says. All it requires is a screw-off lid to be refillable. Start by filling it 1/3 with whatever...
Cat Pee on Leather Clothing?
I had that problem on a leather jacket. I used Urine Kleen, white bottle w/red writing and cap, found at Petsmart. I proceeded with caution, cotton balls, and a roll of paper towels. I kept soaking a cotton ball and wetting the stains that way, then blotting...
Kitty Toy Box
Only one thing to add: put half the toys in the box, the other half of different toys hidden away from the kitties-every 3-6 months switch the toys and hide the ones they have been using. They will get bored of the same ones after a time unless it is a favorite...
Feed Birds Stale Cat Food
I lived in central VA for several years, a few miles from town. Animals everywhere, I loved it. In the winter, I couldnt really afford the bird seed, but didnt want them to go completely hungry. I would air dry bread ends and stale bread and put it in a blender...
