INVALUABLE ADVICES

Take 2 minutes and read through this; you will be amazed at what you can learn!

Bed Sheets
After drying sheets, put both sheets and one pillowcase in the otherpillow case. Fold neatly in a square. Next time you change sheets, youjust take the one pillow case and all the sheets and pillow case areinside. No need to look for matches..

Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove, setheat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. Nosoggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it reallyworks.

Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, placethem in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture willkeep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken pieces of glass - thefibers catch ones you can't see!

Easier thank you's
When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards forthe guest of honor. During the party, pass out the envelopes and haveeveryone put their address on one. When the bride/new mother sends thethank you's, they're all addressed!

Name tag
If you purchase a new bike for your child, place their picture insidethe handle bar before placing the grips on. If the bike is stolen andlater recovered, remove the grip and there is your proof who owns thebike.

Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add anempty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It canbe bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing Static
ClingPin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not havea clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling whenwearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -- voila -- staticis gone.

Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it withhot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Next, addyour ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comesright out.

Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in theglove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser!Works better than a cloth!

Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to includesomething inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer foran hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily.

Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper thanshaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a greatway to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when youtried it in your hair....

Good-bye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2 withApple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid, mix well. Youwill find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it'home,' & can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so,esp. if it rains, but it works & you don't have the worry about petsor small children being harmed!

Take baby powder to the beach
Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When you'reready to leave the beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powderand the sand will slide right off your skin.Hope you learnt something today?
