“For those who use shaving gel that come in aluminum cans: before you put it in the shower stall, use clear nail polish to make a thin coat all along the bottom rim of the can. Let it dry for a few minutes then put it in the shower stall. This will prevent the can from rusting at the bottom/leaving those rust colored rings.”
“Keep a backup purse or toletries bag in ur car dash filled with basics eg. deoderant, perfume, basic makeup, glasses cleaner (if youre blind like me), mini toothbrush and toothpaste, mini brush, some cash etc. It’s saved my butt on numerous occasions such as impromptu meetings, having to stay over at a family members house, dates you may need to rush to etc.”

“Vinegar to soften towels, you don’t want to use fabric softener as it builds up and makes the towels less absorbent. It also helps eliminates odors. Vinegar to remove soap scum and hard water marks from granite. Vinegar sitting out in a bowl to remove odors, like onions, bacon, seafood. Basically vinegar for the win! Also always keep spare underwear at work and in your car, women just need them!”
“I sew my adjustable bra straps in place at the right size. No more straps always pulling looser and slipping off my shoulders.”
“Keeping my internet costs down. I do not sign contracts so when they try to jack up the price, I call sales and threaten to switch to their competitor unless they give me a lower price. Sales is always willing to lose a few bucks than to lose you as a customer.”
