Wearing Jewelry With Swollen JointsHaving some problems with swollen joints can be a problem on certain days. Some tasks are harder than others. I have found a couple that work in these times.
Reusing Egg CartonsI would never have thought to use empty egg cartons for ice trays. You can make ice using an egg carton, same way as you use your trays. The ice forms in a neat shape, larger then usual trays.
Removing Makeup And Caring For Your SkinEven if you don't wear a lot of make up, you need to make sure you remove all of it and do so safely. Mascara can be removed with a cold cream product like Ponds. Be very careful what you put near your eyes.
Saving Money on Healthy FoodI have a restricted diet. I admit sometimes it get boring to eat the same type of food so I have been trying to change it up some lately. Summer is the perfect season to get fruits and veggies, but even frozen things can be fresh.
Spring Cleaning Made EasierSeems most everyone is spring cleaning this time of the year. Even for someone like me who keeps up on things, this is the time to do things forgotten or put off. Most of these things we all do. Organization is the key here.
Keeping Vegetables and Fruit CrisperI had a problem with my cucumbers going bad faster than I thought they should but I wasn't sure why. They started smelling like they were being pickled, when saved in a container and sliced ready for my next snack.

Use Homemade Astringent and Mask for AcneStart by cleaning your face. I use glycolic cleaner, it's non-irritating and helps clean pores out. A mixture of cinnamon and lime or lemon juice is excellent after washing your face.
Save on Your Gym MembershipGyms are expensive. If you have a membership, USE IT. Nothing's worse than wasting money, and not using what many people would love having extra for.
Saving Money to Go on VacationIt's hard in any budget to save money, even if you make what is considered a good income, there seems to never be enough. Nothing is left over, especially for vacation. It's the time in all our lives when we have to make exceptions and get crafty without thinking day to day.
