Convincing Parents to Drop Extra TutoringMy mum forces me to have lessons with tutors outside of school. I'm really busy (with clubs, homework, etc.) and I barely have any free time! I get good marks on tests and in class, follow the rules and so on. I don't need the lessons, I'm not struggling in school but it's not too easy. The lessons are extremely boring, not helpful, and I'm getting really sidetracked from school worrying about them!

 

A pile of bananas

Making Banana ArtBananas have thick skin which is perfect for decorating with pens or even by poking a pattern directly. It's a perfect way to bring a smile to someone's face when unpacking their school or work lunch.

 

Identifying a Noritake Pattern? - upside down cup and white plate with earth tone rectangles around the outer edge

Identifying a Noritake Pattern?This was my father's dinner set, it is not my taste, but I am keeping it for nostalgic reasons (he died in 2011). I can't find the pattern name and I'm surprised it is not on the bottom of the china. Can anyone help identify it please?

Removing a Spot on a Chanel Satin Purse? - whitish spot

Removing a Spot on a Chanel Satin Purse?I had an old spot on my Chanel satin bag. It looked like maybe lipstick or something oil based. I put on a little bit of cornstarch and blotted. Now I can't fully get the white from the cornstarch out and as you can see from the photo, the spot has lost its shine and doesn't blend fully. I tried blotting with a little water and Woolite on a microfiber cloth and then using a hairdryer on low.

 

Information About Brass Table?

Information About Brass Table?I inherited this table and don't know if it's antique or of any value. It appears to be brushed brass with inset glass and ram's head legs. Does anyone know anything about these tables or where to find info? There don't appear to be any markings of brand or anything for that matter.

An ironed ribbon using a hair flat iron.

Hair Flat Iron for Wrinkled RibbonHere is a way to dewrinkle ribbon using a hair flat iron. Just pull the ribbon as you iron. I use my foot to hold the ribbon down. Use a water spray bottle if wrinkles are tough.

 

A monkey drawn on a banana.

Banana ArtHere is a way to encourage your little one's to eat fruit. I spend some time with my preschooler in the morning drawing on the banana he will eat for lunch. That way we start the day sharing a few moments together and it reminds him that he is loved.

Finding Place to Donate Trophies?Is there any place that I can give a few good quality trophies to? They are all golf trophies that are not wanted any more. I am not selling them. If there is no place who can use them, they will be dumped.

A woman hair with lighter roots.

Dyeing Hair Back To Natural Color?Nearly 3 months ago, I had blonde hair and got it dyed brunette. My natural hair is dirty/dark blonde and I went and got it dyed really light blonde, hoping for a good balayage but it turned out yellow and was not blended well. So 6 weeks later, I made the impulsive decision of dying my hair 3 shades darker than my natural colour to what is supposed to be light brown but is actually a dark brown. I hate it and the regrowth is so obvious and annoying because I have very white/light baby hairs around the sides of my face.
