| RE: Firming Up Sagging Skin |
|
Hi! I absolutely love palmer's cocoa butter firming lotion. You can get it at WalMart for around $5.00 a bottle. This stuff really works-believe me, I have 5 children and use it every day. You can google it with reviews and read the testimonials for yourself. I also recommend drinking lots of water and doing pilates-you will be amazed at how many years you will take off body. Good luck! ... View related article. |

| RE: Recycling Broken Jewelry |
|
I just got a magazine by Better Homes and Garden. I think it's titled: 100 decorating ideas under $100.00. Love the repurposing! Anyway, they used broken or single earrings and put them all around the bottom edge of a lamp shade-very pretty, used a cutlery tray that was painted and decorated to hang on a wall and hung jewelry in it, decorated curtains, you can use them across a valance, as a curtain tie back, into shadow boxes, to decorate the edge of pillows-you could attach them to plain napkin rings, a dish for a candle centerpiece, the edges of a picture frame or mirror, the possibilities are endless! I really loved the candles with sparkly bangles around them-cute! ... View related article. |

| RE: Frugal Beach Tips |
|
One of the best beach tips I ever read was to sprinkle on baby powder when you leave the beach. It loosens the sand and makes it fall right off! Also, if you have little ones invest in one of those plastic mesh bags or nylon mesh drawstring bags with large holes to tote beach toys in. This way most of the sand falls through the holes before you get to your car. I always bring a gallon of clean water to rinse eyes, cuts, etc. with. The less you have to bring the better-If I was going alone or with my husband I would probably bring a towel, sunblock, and something to read and drink. But I have 5 kids and there are just some things that are worth bringing to the beach that make it more enjoyable with them. ... View related article. |

| RE: Organizing Curling Irons |
|
I'm going to buy one of those kitchen utensil bars at a IKEA, the rod style that mounts on the wall. They sell decorative tins, bins, vases, and baskets, that have hooks to hang on the rod. I'm planning to use one for my hair dryer, one for my curling iron, and the other for brushes. ... View related article. |

| RE: Organizing Toys |

I also rotate toys. I use the plastic boxes with wheels and lids from IKEA for storage. Pink and white in the girls room and blue in the boys room. They are lightweight and can be easily wheeled from room to room. They cost about $5.00 each! Great bargain! ... View related article. |

| RE: $2 Scarf Or Tie Hanger |
|
Very good idea, I just spent $18.00 on a tie rack to hang my necklaces on. I just read in a magazine that you can recycle those hanging tiered kitchen baskets in your closet for hats, scarves, socks, whatever, you could probably use those for necklaces too! ... View related article. |

| RE: Reusing Spice Bottles For Organizing |
|
I found another tip that compliments this one well! Instead of taking up prime real estate space in the kitchen cabinet, you can label the tops of the lids and store them in a drawer so that you can look down and read them. Frees up the cabinet space and you don't have to pull them all out just to find the one jar your searching for! ... View related article. |
