When you get your berries home, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider) and ten parts water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around. Drain, rinse if you want (though the mixture is so diluted you can't taste the vinegar,) and pop in the fridge. The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria on the surface. Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries go almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft.

I'll have to try this... Super Shine, DIY style: A whole lotta olive oil and a tbsp of honey. Mix it up and work it through your hair. Leave in for at least half an hour - overnight’s even better. Result: Gleaming, soft, smooth, totally non-staticky hair!

Use stir sticks to recall your paint colors. Write paint name and number on end of stick, along with what you painted. Bundle the sticks with twine.

Freeze green onions in water bottles - shake out the right amount and return to the freezer! I always have green onions that go bad because I don't use them fast enough. Love this!
