For anyone that may not know, the BEST way to make hard-boiled eggs is in the OVEN! Place the eggs in a muffin tray so they do not move around, turn the oven to 325 degrees, pop in for about 25-30 minutes and remove! Not only are they tastier, but they also are much easier to peel! Must try this.

Use Scotch tape or nail polish to relieve an insect bite. (wonder if it works?)

Collecting user manuals: put manuals and receipts in a sheet protector in a binder so you always have it on hand and in one spot. A must!

Use Dryer Sheets to: 1. Freshen shoes. 2. Remove static from clothing, hair, TV screens, and computer monitors. 3. Clean pet hair from the floor or furniture. 4. Replace a sachet. 5. Loosen caked-on food from a pan. 6. Tackle suitcase and gym-bag odors. 7. Prevent old books from smelling musty when in storage. 8. Wipe up sawdust. 9. Prevent thread from tangling when sewing.

This works! I just tried it on a HP Plotter (which has ridiculously expensive cartridges). How to get the last ink out of the ink cartridge.

Didn't know you could iron fabric onto the wall? Just as easy as vinyl! Peels right off.... Say what?!?

Need to remember this ... so many clothes I thought were ruined... Chalk will remove grease stains from clothes. Simply rub the stain with chalk, then toss in the wash as normal.

Every month or two, give the pipes a good preventative cleaning to keep them clear of grease, oil, and hair clogs. Pour 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup white vinegar. The mixture will foam up. Let stand for a few minutes to dissolve fatty acids, then pour boiling water down the drain to wash out any clogs.

Seriously clever! A headlamp around a gallon of water = ambient light for your tent and a great night lamp when the power is out.

Homemade Icepacks. This is so cool - you use plain Dawn....it doesn't freeze totally solid but like those gel packs you can buy where you contour them to your body. So neat!

Interesting idea. Instead of crossing off/copying your to-do list, just move around the post-its: left is priority, right can wait.

Each family member has a "coster" to place their glass of the day on. No more "grab a glass & put in the sink"... 50 x's a day! Great idea!

It makes your eyelashes grow: Lather Vaseline all over your eyelashes overnight and watch them thicken, even without a prescription! To Soften dry and cracked elbows. Dry cuticles: Store a mini-Vaseline container in your purse and utilize for emergency dry cuticle moments. It is a misconception that Vaseline clogs pores, so smear it all over your face, neck and arms for softer skin. It eases eyebrow plucking: Tame your eyebrows and lube up the under-skin so you can pluck with ease. To make your accessories look brand spankin’ new: New job interview? Scuff the crap-ol-la out of your patent leather heals thanks to pitcher night? Put a small dab on your shoes and shine away! It’s your new exfoliating body wash: Mix with sea salt and come out of the shower feeling soft. And sexy. Can be used to smooth and soothe skin after shaving. Bonus - For the upcoming holiday - Once you carve your Halloween pumpkin, rub Vaseline on the exposed edges. it keeps it from rotting or going dry.

“Extend-A-Vent” diy with a few paint tray liners

Great way to fold items to see what's in the drawer rather than piling items on top of one another. {I was thinking about this the other day: I fold the clothes into drawers and the girls unfold everything pulling out the shirt on the BOTTOM.}

great idea! This would free up an entire drawer. {perfect!}
