More Savvy Secrets!

Oh golly, we have some wonderful Savvy Secrets for you today. No one subject – just a potpourri of helpful hints.  We hope you enjoy them as much as we love putting them together for you!

1.     Don’t throw out the next empty egg carton you have!  Keep it and use it to sort small items like nails, screws, etc.  It can even keep your earrings sorted!

2.     Glue one side of a sturdy clothespin to the inside of cabinet doors. Those clothespins are a great way to store old shopping bags that you need to re-use all the time.

3.     A dish rack makes a super place to store your pan lids.

4.     A great way to keep two earrings together is to thread the posts through two holes (one post through one hole and the other post through another hole) in a button and put the backs on.

5.     Do you find that your home made cookies become hard too quickly?  Put apple slices in with the cookies and they will keep the cookies chewy.

6.     Great way to make deviled eggs.  Once you have cut the hard boiled egg in half, put the yolk in a zip lock bag.  Mash the yolk in the bag and then add your other ingredients (mayo, mustard, salt and pepper, maybe a dash of curry powder, etc.) and mash some more.  Now, cut a small corner off the bag and use it like a pastry bag.  Voila!  Beautiful deviled eggs, as well as tasty, we are sure!

7.     Hard to brush through your sweet dog’s fur?  Rub your pet with baby powder prior to brushing.  It will be much easier to remove the tangles.

8.     Mount a magnet inside your medicine cabinet and you’ll be able to place nail clippers, tweezers, safety pins and all sorts of necessities on it.  You will always know exactly where those smaller items are!

9.     If your car has leaked oil on your garage or driveway floor, just apply some cat litter to the area (preferably the non-scoopable kind).  Its super-absorbing properties will help to clean up the stain in a day!

10.   Those 3-tiered baskets that you usually find holding fruit in the kitchen are also perfect for bathrooms.  Store your brushes, hair gel, band-aids, etc.

Your Two Chums find that these Savvy Secrets make for more abundant lives, filled with joy.   We hope that you do too!
