Need a way to display your necklaces and keep them from getting all tangled up?
Why not use one of those wooden racks 
with pegs that are often used to display baseball caps? 
These racks can be a single row or racks with a double row of pegs.
(ususally found at places like Target or Wal-Mart.)
They can be hung on the inside of a closet wall or spray painted 
or painted to match a  color scheme 
or used as an art piece on the wall in your bedroom 
or dressing room once your colored necklaces are displayed.

Have a lot of invitations to mail or too many envelopes to lick and seal?
Clean out a used medicine bottle with lid. 
Then cut a household sponge (any color) into about a 1 inch thick strip 
(from the short end) so that it fits inside the medicine bottle. 
Wet the sponge lightly with water (not dripping) 
and run it across the glue strip of your envelopes and seal them. 
Can seal many envelopes before rewetting sponge. 
Place the sponge in your medicine container 
and put the cap on until the next time you need it. 
Keep with other desk items. It works great.

In a fragrance rut and don't know what's new or what new scents will work for you? 
Then do what I do, 
and tear out those perfumed inserts that come in mailers from Department Stores. 
Open up the little scent packets, 
rub them over your wrists and wear for a time to see if you like the scent or
if it smells good on you. 
I also use these scented papers in my lingerie drawer. 
I also use the male cologne scented papers in my spouse's underwear and sock drawers.

That red wine vinegar and baking soda will unclog a clogged drain? 
Pour in a half to a whole small box of baking soda followed by half a bottle of vinegar. 
Let this work for half an hour to an hour, and follow with hot water. 
Repeat this every couple of months to keep drains flowing.

Did you know that a dab of Baby Oil added to your hand 
and body lotion will help combat dry skin all day? 
This is especially true if your experience very dry skin in the winter months like I do. 
You can either add the Baby Oil (any brand) directly to the bottle of lotion
and shake it well or mix a dab of both in your hand, 
rub together and apply to body parts.
