To avoid tangles when you travel, slip your necklace through a drinking straw.

Kyrie M I tried this once and put it in a bag with another necklace I had done the same thing to...they became inextricably tangled to each other!
Mandi {Life...Your Way} I wonder if using TWO straws on each would help?
What a great, smart idea for birthday parties. Pre-scoop your ice cream, insert a small wooden spoon, roll in sprinkles, refreeze.

Prepare pancake mix as stated on the box. Then pour all the batter into a large ziploc bag and freeze! Once you are ready to use it, take it out of the freezer to thaw, snip off a corner of the bag, and you have quick & mess free pancake mix! It's a great way to use up a few cups of milk before it expires!

Christy Arnold Mandi this is awesome! I never thought making the dry mix ahead was helpful enough - having it all done and thawing in the fridge when I get up- now THAT'S useful!!
Mandi {Life...Your Way} Yeah, it's the perfect way to make "Saturday morning pancakes" without mom having to give up her relaxing Saturday morning, LOL!

Amruta Prakash you know, as a matter of fact EVERY kurta (tunic) stiched in India by tailors has a hook like this. This is really helpful if you are wearing sleeveless blouses or dresses with long necks. I have it on all my dresses and its helpful!
So smart! A cookie plate you don't need back. All you need is a hole punch and ribbon.

Clutter Jail. If the kids leave it out, it goes in the clutter jail and they have to draw a card out of the community chest and complete the task to get their stuff back. Free printables! So doing this. Great way to teach responsibility. This beats threatening to throw away the toys :)

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.

Irene Griffin Be careful- mascara is a great medium for growing bacteria. If you have had it more than a few months you should toss it even if it is not dried out to avoid conjunctivitis!
Chris Riggins I would think the saline solution would take care of that.
Irene Griffin saline is simply sterilized salt water, no antibacterial properties
Mandi {Life...Your Way} Honestly, I probably worry about those things way less than I should, but thanks for pointing that out, Irene!

Freshen the air with this handy trick. When you get out a new roll of toilet paper, place a few drops of your favorite essential oil in the cardboard tube of the toilet paper. This will release the scent of the oil each time the paper is used....
