Speaking to plants, that is. Line the bottom of your pots with sponges (old ones work well) and fill with dirt. The sponges will soak up water and keep the soil moist (and prevent excess water from weeping out the drain hole). Happy plants and easier for you, too!
In a pinch, a walnut can be used to remove minor scratch marks from furniture. Rub the meat over the scratch, then work the oil into the scratch with a soft cloth. Scratch gone! Repeat as needed, as the oil will eventually dry out.
Take a cell-free day. Let everyone know you're out of touch for a few hours, and go shopping without your smart phone. Stop by a friend's, phone-free. Make the day about the moment, and you'll find more joy in what you do!
A plastic scraper (or putty knife) and a hair dryer are all you need. The plastic scraper prevents scratches, and the heat from the hair dryer softens the adhesive enough to peel the stickers off. This works for both price tags and children's "fun" stickers. Some are easier than others, but you'll have them off in no time!
For a warm-weather treat, freeze grapes to use in your drink instead of ice. You won't water down your drink, and the grapes will add a bit of color and extra flavor. Enjoy!.
