Ultimate Peanut Gallery

There are always little recommendations people have that they learn in their lives. Whether this helps or not, here's what I've learned through the years:
* Heat up your eyelash curler prior to using and use waterproof mascara, it holds the curl longer. Also, give a good three crimps along the lash. Don't just curl in one place so that your lashes look like the letter "L".
* Use blue Dawn once a month as a shampoo as a Malibu treatment. (I haven't tried this.)
* Use conditioner as a shaving gel. It doesn't dry skin like soap and works great.
* Three things never to cinch on: (1) your wedding, (2) comfortable shoes, & (3) reliable tools.
* Per internet, it doesn't matter what laundry soap you use, it's the washer that does the work at getting the dirt out. The soap contains smell and grease-cutting capabilities.
* When threading a needle, wet the needle, not the thread. This actually "wicks" the thread through the eye of the needle.
* Hard eyeliner? Use a flame to warm the makeup before applying (careful, may be too hot and burn.)
* To prevent noodles from sticking together, pour a shot of oil into the boiling water with the noodles.
* Watch Mr. Roger's Neighborhood now and again. It gives you a boost of self esteem.
* Don't waste your time deciding whether or not to throw something out. If in doubt, throw it out.
* Use wet rubber gloves to pick up pet hair.
* Have friends over. It gives you a better reason to clean.
* Dust and clean with an already wet washcloth on your way to the laundry room with it.
* Take pictures now. You never know when you can take no more.
* Use ammonia & a tooth brush on the white rubber parts of your tennis shoes to get the dirt off.
* Save your egg shells. Tomato plants love when you give them egg shells. (This is from one of my residents.)
* Never say Good Night or Good Bye without saying I Love you.
