Unclog shower drains

Pour a pack or 2 of active dry yeast and a little bit of sugar down the drain, and then run warm water for about 30 seconds. Live cultures in the yeast will reproduce and expand, breaking apart persistent hair clogs and grime.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Look at everything in your life as a gift, a bless from your own God!

Bad taste medicine

Make a medicine with a bad taste easy to swallow by sucking on an ice cube or ice pop for about 1 minute before taking the dose. The cold numbs the taste buds and the medicine slides down easier. Good trick for kids!

Stop an annoying cough

Mix 1 tbsp lemon juice with 1 tsp honey and a little bit of cayenne pepper, and swallow the combination. Lemon reduces inflammation and delivers vitamin C, honey coats and calms irritated throat tissue, and the pepper increases circulation.

Frost-free windshields

To prevent icy windshields next time you know that snow is coming, just rub a halved onion over them before flakes fall. Sulfuric compounds coat the glass and stop ice from forming.

Secure an earring in place

To make sure your piece of jewelry stays put until you replace a lost earring back, break the eraser off the end of a pencil and use to secure the post. You can also use a little piece of rubber band instead.

Moths in stored clothes

Cut the feet off an old pair of panty hose and fill each with 2 tbsp of pencil shavings. Knot the sachets closed and place one at the top of each clothing container before putting away. The cedar scent of the wood shavings masks the smell of wool and cotton fibers that attracts the bugs.

Frames scratching the walls

Keep frames from scratching the wall, by breaking off the erasers from 2 pencils, then glue each one to the bottom corners of the frame. The rubber cushions the frame to prevent sliding, marks and art being out of the right position.
