How to Unclog a Toilet (without a plunger)
I need to show you a self-portrait: At least two days a week this is how I feel – and the remaining 5 days a week, this is Hubby. Is it possible that our pipes are shrinking? That they are so full of hair and crud and gunk that anything that goes down the toilet […]

Cleaning Makeup Brushes
While I had everything out to clean my hair brushes the other day, I decided it was time to tackle my makeup brushes as well. The only makeup I wear is a bit of eyeshadow, eyeliner and lip gloss – so I’m not sure how these got as dirty as they were? Even if I […]
