    For the vinegar wash, put a couple tablespoons of Baking Soda in too. The fizz acts as a surfactant killing any nasties and breaking down the waxes/additives added by the stores.

    Another great hack for blueberries. Store in single layers separated by paper towels. In an air tight container mine lasted a month! Thanks for your ideas.

    Loved the “home hacks” with the mason jar inside the wide vase, and the cup holder with storage you showed at the end. That little trash can was also genius.

    ❤ the tiny trash can! Can't wait to get to Dollar 🌴 to get me 1!!!!

    For the candle sticks I usually just melt the bottom with the lighter so it drips a bit over the holder hole & then squish the candle in their. Stays pretty stuck.

      True. I’ve also melted the bottom of the candle. I’m going to try the rubber band hack. It will be cleaner and easier. Just in case I make a mess or drip candle wax on something else.

    Can't wait to try the string organization!!
    For my blueberries and other fruit I get the dollar tree spray bottle mix 1/2 vinegar 1/2 spring water and make my own fruits and veggie spray. I let them sit then rinse. For blueberries I get many days by letting the blueberries dry sometimes wiping them and the layering then in a single layer on top of a piece of paper towel. I respect the paper towel layers as needed so each blueberry has space they last a long long time!
    I also sparu my apples and bananas and oranges with my spray it seems to help keep fruit flies away!

    Great home hack! I have one for you.... When using your plastic cutting board, put a damped dish clothe underneath the board, but on top of the counter top. This way the board won't slide around and it's more safe for you when using sharp knifes 😉

    Some times flowers are heavy and cause a vase to tip. If I am using a light weight silver pitcher or something else opaque, I put a can of soup in the middle. It adds weight and helps the flowers stand up and not tip over .☺

    I bought the plastic screw together holder for my silverware holder for my lunchbox as I also have a steak knife in there as well. Also if you buy the mason jar rings and put them on a cookie sheet and use cupcake liners in them you can bake a lot more cupcakes at 1 time and no need for cupcake pans.

    Great minds thinks alike! I’ve used the glass in the bowl hack for over 20 years! I use a margarita glass because it’s wider. Easier to dip. I have also have a charging station I bought a chest of drawers and drilled into the back of it. It’s a little trickier to have multiple drawers with charging but it’s great once it’s figured out. 😊

  • @fayedalton8810
    @fayedalton8810 Год назад

    The onion is actually working because of the way you have it positioned. At least that’s what I was told to always cut it facing down after you have cut it in half. You can even make strips with the knife and it cuts small pieces and still won’t burn your eyes. Love your videos and just wanted to share. May not work for everyone but it does for me. Blessings! ❤️

    Home hack. Love the mason jar in the vase hack. I have a hack using Dollar Tree plastic drawers (the clear small ones) and I glue the part that takes the drawer onto the inside of my kitchen cabinet with the opening up.. I put in packets like taco seasoning and Lipton soup mix. It frees up space on the shelves. Source: Do it on a Dime.
