Did You Know?

Looking for the Light

Just a few tips I’ve learned that work for me, I hope one of them helps you.

You can buy 4×4 inch sheer bags with ties and make shoe refreshers and refresh the clothes in the drawers. You can a 1 pound bag of loose fragrant lavender and make your own. I bought a pound in a glass container with a pop off top which was only $2 more and I can use the canister later. Well worth the $2.

If you wash your clothes on delicate unless it’s a large load, your clothes will last longer.

If you use a detergent for delicates, it’s often easier on sensitive skin.

I often wear sweater pants and the waist is often not dry with the rest of the load. I bought these wool dryer balls which cut down on drying time, clothes have fewer wrinkles and soften your clothes. NOT! The waist of my sweater pants were still moist, I could not tell the difference in wrinkles and my clothes came out with a ton of lent. I will have to use a lent brush to wear them.

If you add too much ice to your glass or have big lumps in your ice maker, save them for water to use later. I save the water for my plants. I collect the water in a large bowl if needed or add it to my watering bucket. This morning, I made tea and had leftover water, which I saved as well.

To have nice, even-growing plants, you need to turn them in another direction every week to get the extra sun.

I hope one of these tips is helpful.

Can you share a tip with me?

    1. I’m very satisfied once I have them put away. I’m very lucky, my husband, David does his own laundry. It started years ago when I was very sick with Lyme and it stuck. He even does the towels sometimes. That makes much less laundry for me.

    1. I couldn’t believe the amount of lent, I’ve thrown several items back in the laundry basket. I did have to use a lent roller the other day on my pants. I’ve always hear about these but it always sounded good. I won’t be keeping them. I’ll trow out the two i’ve used and put the 4 others in the charity box. I’ve finally convinced my husband that it’s easier to take the boxes for charity a few at a time instead of filling up my plant room.

  4. I bought a camping kettle (it’s low wattage and designed not to blow the grid at a camping site) which uses 900w of energy instead of a regular kettle which uses 2.6kw. Not sure how useful this is to those in the US but here in Ireland (and the UK) it saves on energy and therefore your electricity bill!

    I also use a slow cooker to cook my dinner in as often as I can, as opposed to the cooker, which again uses less electricity and saves the pocket too :)

    PS Happy thanksgiving to you!
