MAKE MASCARA LAST 3X LONGER!! A typical mascara dries out before half of it is used. When your favorite mascara starts getting dry, add 4-5 drops of saline solution or eyedrops to the bottle. Insert your wand and stir and TA-DA!! Fresh mascara! This can be repeated 2 or 3 times until all you mascara is gone.

Annie Sloan developed her now famous Chalk Paint to answer the need she had for a paint which would have many uses from acting like limewash to looking like old painted furniture--Chalk Paint is a very special paint for very many reasons Here are some; 1. It's the BEST paint for painting furniture by a long way 2. You can use the paint by diluting it with water to make a wash to show the wood grain 3. You can use it as an impasto ( thickly) - leave the lid off to thicken 4. You can use it on any surface, indoors and out 5. No need to prime or prepare 6. The colours are mixed intelligently and the web site shows how you can adapt your colours for your use 7. It's a girls' paint, but boys can use it too. 8. It's flexible so you can be creative and change you mind 9. The paint can be washed off your brush even when you find your brush weeks later. [I never do that of course.] 10. It allows your walls to breathe so it is perfect for cottage walls 11. Extremely low VOCs so it is good for the environment 12. It doesn't form a skin on it when you leave the lid off - just add some water if it's too thick 13. Very little black is used in their manufacture so the colours are mixed with thought 14. You can paint it on walls for a soft matt effect or wax it for a polished plaster effect

Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states. 40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch. 41. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag. 42.
