Unique TIPS!
Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take It "home," and can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a Week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't Have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!
Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a non stick skillet on top of the stove, Set heat to medium low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust Crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel And it really works..
Easy Devilled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are All broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing It up mixing thoroughly, cut the corner tip of the baggy, squeeze Mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.
Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it With your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You Get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat
Less sugar/calories per serving.
Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm bread, biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, Place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased Moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.OR - cover with a small terry towel, it will absorb the moister and the Item will come out perfect
Newspaper weeds away
Start putting in your plants; work the nutrients in your soil. Wet Newspapers put layers around the plants overlapping as you go Cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through Some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken glass pieces of Glass- the fibers catch ones you can't see!
No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.
Squirrel Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle plants With cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.
Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum hose. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and - Voila- static is gone.
Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out
Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the Glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! It works better than a cloth!
Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily.
Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.
Goodbye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid, mix well.. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!
Take baby powder to the beach
Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When your ready to leave the beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the sand will slide right off your skin.

Organizing tip!
I just signed up for this cool newsletter and email tips -
Incubate and Date!I recently reorganized my utensil drawer in my kitchen. I love kitchen gadgets and it seems mine had multiplied while I wasn't looking. Three pair of tongs. Twelve extra knives. An extra ice cream scoop. A nut cracker? (I have no clue the last time I needed a nut cracker.) Instead of trying to justify why I needed to keep all these nifty gadgets, I loaded them into an extra bin to incubate for a month. I kept the bin in my basement. If I was in my kitchen and suddenly needed a nut cracker, a quick trip down the stairs and I was back in business. I'd take the nut cracker out of the bin and back into the utensil drawer. Essentially, I had a month to figure out if I really needed any of these gadgets or not. Guess what? I didn't make a single trip to the incubator. (Not even for the nutcracker as shocking as that may seen.) So, everything in the incubator is going straight to charity.Give the incubator a try next time you're on the fence about items you encounter in an organizing project. Just be sure to set a date and then, when the date comes, anything left in the incubator, goes!
