Removing Under Eye Bags in the MorningGetting rid of bags under your eyes in the morning is really simple. This tip has helped me when I look like a monster in the morning.

 

Hanging a Shower CaddyI love shower caddies. They are convenient and hook over the shower faucet just perfectly. Except when they don't. That was the case today when I went to hang mine. The faucet was so far forward that the caddy wouldn't stay put.

 

Use Second Curtain to Keep Shower Wall CleanWhat a job to clean bath/shower walls! It doesn't have to be that way. I placed another shower curtain and tension rod against the wall in my bath. Now instead of cleaning the wall, I just take down the shower curtain and throw it in the wash. No more back-bending chore of cleaning the actual wall.

 

Leftover Fondant Candle HoldersI made loads of fresh homemade fondant for my husband's birthday cake. I spent so much time decorating it (this one took me hours!), there was no way I would be okay with even a drop of candle wax dripping on his silhouette. I used the leftover fondant to mold into candle holders to place in front of the cake.

 

Reusing Grocery Bags for GarbageI recycle my grocery plastic bags, by filling them up with trash as they hang by the sink. When full, I close them and put them in my trash can. That way I recycle two ways. After I take out the trash from kitchen to the trash can I get to reuse my trash bag if it's still in immaculate condition.

 

Mark Appliance PlugsRecently, I put up a crockpot full of chicken and marinade. Leaving it overnight, it was perfect the next morning. By noon, however, it was a bit dry. That is when I realized what I had done.

Repairing Pop Up Camper CabinetsHow do you repair the bracket that cabinets use to slide in a pop-up? The white bracket that the upper cabinet slides on broke at the place where it meets the ceiling in my pop-up. Any suggestions?

 

Cat Scratching Neck and FaceMy cat had a collar on for about 2 months, but ripped it off. Now he has scratch marks all over his neck! He also has a really bad scratch on his face and is always scratching at it. I have another cat and they're not the best of friends, so I don't know whether it's related to that (stress) or something else.

 

Dog Won't Use Dog Door When It RainsMy dog Sheba is 3 years old. We have a doggy door, but when it rains she prefers to not go outside and pees just before the door to go out. What can we do to stop this problem?

 

Lumps on My DogI have a 5 year old dog. He went to the vet yesterday for a bad ear infection. When I picked him up I got papers telling me how he did also informing me of things that may need to be checked out, including skin masses. I have an appointment to check the lumps, but this waiting until I know is killing me.

 

Daycare Name IdeasI'm thinking of opening a daycare. I'm unsure of what to name it. I can tell you some things I love and maybe a combination of those? My daughter's name is Haven Kristen James - after her aunt and grandfather that passed away. I love pink, glitter, anything that's girly really.
