Bobby Pin Storage

Store bobby pins in an empty Tic Tac container. The rectangular box is perfect for holding bobby pins and fits easily into the medicine cabinet or your purse.

Key Lime Pie Martinis

Lightly moisten rims of 2 martini glasses with water and coat with graham cracker crumbs. In ice-filled shaker, mix 2 oz. vanilla vodka, 1 1/2 oz. rum, 2 oz. Midori melon liqueur, 2 Tbs. lime juice and  1 tsp. heavy cream. Strain into glasses. Make 2.

No More Collar Stains

Use white chalk to erase those yellow rigs that form on the collars of white clothes. Simply coat the area with the powder, let sit for 10 minutes, then wash. The chalk absorbs the oil that holds in the dirt.

Napa Valley Mojito

Sounds refreshing. In a tall glass, muddle 10 mint leaves with 10 red and white seedless grapes, 2 Tbs. lime juice and 2 Tbs. simple syrup. Add 3 Tbs. rum. Top with crushed ice and splash of sparkling wine. Stir well from bottom up. If desired, garnish with grapes. Makes 1 serving.

Cheer Up With Junk Food

Studies show that an occasional treat can zap stress.  Eating foods high in fat and sugar helps reduce anxiety levels and increase your calm.

Reuse Plastic Bags

When cleaning, hang two plastic bags on doorknobs. Use one for stuff that should be thrown away and the other for things that don’t belong in the room. After you’re finished, just throw one bag in the trash and carry the other as you ut things back in their place.

Treat Mom!

On Mother’s Day moms get free yogurt at TCBY, a free scoop of ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery and a free dessert at TGI Fridays. So take mom to one of those places and treat her.

Like Goat Cheese?

May is the best month to enjoy goat cheese. In the spring, the goats eat grass and flowers instead of the hay and oats of winter, which makes the cheese richer and sweeter. Look for ones labeled “fresh” or “chevre”  at your supermarket.
