Wax buildup

An hour in the freezer will harden the wax on candlesticks, and make it easier for removal.

Cleaning the bathroom

The best time to clean your bathroom is right after taking a shower or bath. That's because steam will have loosened the dirt, and al lyou have to do is wipe off the damp surfaces.

Decluttering the File Cabinet

Keep Long Term:

One copy of your resumes; diplomas and certificcates; school transcrpts; receipts for car repairs and large purchases; mortgage and real estate documents; home-improvemen records; annual statements of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, IRA's or 401(k)s; and legal ducuments (leases, trust papers, etc).



Keep Seven Years:

Tax returns, bank statements, canceled checks and credit card statements.



Keep only the most recet:

Paycheck stubs, utility bills, mortgage payment, mututal fund prospectus, insurance policy. As you file the latest, throw out the last.

Stuck Glasses

When one glass is stuck inside another, fill the top one with cold water and dip the bottom glass in hot water. The cold water will make the top glass contract while the hot water makes the bottom one expand. Give the water temperatures a minute to work, then getnly pull the glasses apart.

Napkins

I am a thief. I steal napkins. Well, I don't know if it's technically stealing since most of the time they're out there in the open and they want you to take them. I just usually take more than the average person. Whenever I go out to a fast food place, whether I go into the establishment or do the drive thru, I always get or ask for extra napkins. These are free and are great to have around. I have a stash in my car glove compartment, and they occupy my napkin holder on my kitchen counter. They cost me nothing, and are easily disposable. Great bargin in my book.

Perfect Excuse

One hour of massage is equivalent to 3 hours of sleep. I dont know about you but i'd rather have a massage than a nap anyday.

Brushing your skin

Spend 5 minutes a day brushing your body in long sweeping motions, always toward the heart. Skin mushing improves lymphatic drainage and sluggish circulation, shifitng cellulite.
