100% Pure Acetone

Did you know that you can remove the ink from plastic containers?
Here's a DIY for you! You know those plastic ice cream buckets that are good to keep and use but they have that printing on them? Solution.... pour a little 100% pure Acetone (found with nail polish remover in stores) over ink printing and let it sit a few minutes. Then, using a paper towel, rub in circular motions until it all wipes away! Now you have a very usable plastic container to use to store things, add parchment paper or pretty cloth napkin and put homemade cookies to take to a friend, or paint it using your own creation to store your personal items or kids small toys in.

Reminder

Reminder....
Don't forget to clean your makeup brushes often to prevent bacteria and oils from building up on them which can cause acne and breakouts on the skin. It will also help to keep a fresh look once you apply your makeup!
Just use Baby Shampoo and wash the bristles gently. Be sure to rinse well to remove all soap residue and allow to air dry before using again.

White Vinegar

Clean and Freshen the Dishwasher!!
We want the dishwasher to clean our dishes...SO....Clean and freshen the dishwasher itself too.... it can do a better job!!
Here's how:
1) Remove the bottom rack and look for 'lost' items, hard items and 'chunks' in the bottom and around the mechanisms. Check the screen. Its must be able drain properly.
2) Put a cup of vinegar on the top shelf...And Sprinkle a cup of baking soda over the bottom of the dishwasher. Run a cycle - Hot water of course ... Hot water kills germs. That's it! Cleaned and freshened up, your dishwasher will look better, smell better and do a better job.
**Note: If you really want to make sure everything is cleaner, you can take the mechanism apart and clean it in the sink with vinegar before you run the first cycle.
