DIY / Crafts / Tips & Tricks (Who knew?)

Lots of do-it-yourself crap (everything from Martha Stewart's supposedly The Best toilet scrubber to putting together cute hand soap bottles or other things from store bought tops and various used bottles you have lying around the house. | Some crafts, but not much. | A bunch of "Hey, I didn't know that!" stuff, like .... did you know that spraying a little vinegar on your windshield will help to keep it from fogging up in winter? Or that baby powder will help get annoyingly clingy beach sand off your skin? Stuff like that. Really, who knew?!
