Wine bottle missing its cork

If you lost the cork of your wine bottle before finishing it, soften an unscented thin candle in the microwave for 3 seconds. Using a knife cut an inch off the bottom and insert it into the bottle. The wax smoothly seals the container, and when you are ready to drink your wine again pull out the wax just like you would do with a cork.

Using tulips as ornaments

When you use tulips to decorate indoors, they usually droop within days. Next time, try lightly spraying the underside of the petals with aerosol hair spray before placing them in a vase. The product will improve the stems’ support of the flowers’ heavy heads, and your tulips will look lovely for weeks.

Gardening without stains

Before kneeling and working on your garden, tie a plastic grocery or garbage bag around each knee to create a protection between your pants and the soil.

Secure fit earbuds

Reach your left arm over your head and grab the top of your right ear. Pull the ear upward and insert the bud, then release. Repeat on the left ear using your right arm. This opens your ear canals, giving the speakers enough space to accommodate well.

Organize a beach bag

Cut the pockets from a plastic hanging shoe holder and attach them to the inside of your bag with velcro.

Back acne cysts

Mix 1 cup hot water with 1/4 tsp salt, saturate a cotton ball and dab the affected areas. Let dry and repeat once daily. The heat from the water opens the infected pores, while the salt draws out the infection.

Hair hazards

Be careful with crazy diets. They are often low in some of the most important nutrients for healthy hair, including Vitamin A, Zinc and Omega-3 fatty acids. Super-low calorie plans may even cause hair loss!

Freezing vegetables

For most vegies you will need to blanch (boil or steam for a short time) before freezing, to maintain flavor, color, and texture. Blanching times vary depending on the vegetable.
