Share what you've got!!

Schick Extreme 3 is the best razor I have found. The blades are flexible and bend to your curves.

Miss a few showers and have really greasy hair (we all know it happens). Wash your hair with shaving cream before using your regular shampoo and conditioner. You won't have to wash a million times to get all the oil out.

Newspaper really does leave a streak free mirror or window. But it's not great for scrubbing grime off. If the window is grubby scrub with a paper towel first then follow with the newspaper. Just be prepared for black hands.

Buy one of those multi-bin dirty laundry hampers or buy a couple baskets. Separate your dirty cloths while they collect....saves tons of time when doing laundry.

Multi-subject notebooks may seem convenient but rarely workout. There is never enough paper in each subject to last the whole semester. Binders or individual SPIRAL notebooks work better.

When pouring from a large bottle, turn it "up side down" if it has a hollow handle. The handle will be on the bottom so liquid is going through it. It will prevent "glug." Same for bottles of engine oil, flat side to the top.

Water filter pitchers are a cheap investment nowadays that is well worth it in my opinion. I bought a Pur pitcher (blue filter basin with silver top, rectangular) for roughtly $20 at walmart and the filter lasts for a year. Then costs less than $10 to replace. You always have cold, clean water on hand. I find myself drinking lots more water since I got one.

A sleep cycle is extremely important to have. Try to get up at the same time EVERY morning...the going to sleep at the same time part follows. It helps to prevent depression, promote health, and makes you a cheerier person.

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers really are magic!!! You will be amazed at what they can get off!! Just be careful about scrubbing too hard b/c they will take off paint.

Keep Clorox Wipes in your bathroom...they are extremely convenient. I wipe off my sink and toilet with one every week or so just to get the dust and toothpaste off of it.

Rainex it Gods gift to windshields. If you have never used it you are missing out!!

When you wash your window at the gas station, take a paper towel and wipe off your wiper blades too. They collect tons of grime that causes streaks when they wipe. They'll last you longer too.

Okay...for myself. I am extremely prone to ingrown hairs so anyone with a tip on how to prevent those I would much appreciate some help!!

Now your turn!!

Instead of buying flavored coffee put teaspoon of flavored extract on the coffee in your automatic drip coffee maker. I like peppermint extract and almond extract the best. Then you have your favorite coffee and added flavor. So many of the flavored coffees use cheap coffee because they think the flavor hids the taste.

Murphy's Oil soap works the best to clean laminate flooring (like pergo) I have tried soooo many and it works the best for me.

For ingrown hairs try exfoliating that area on a regular basis. Thats what my sister does and she says it has really helped.

Forget the daiper genie. Just put some ziplock sandwhich bags close at hand and zipem on up. Saves tons of money in the long run. The diaper genie refill are expensive. and it does stink, I don't care what anyone says...

For constipation, drink about 20 ounces of pear juice. Works like a charm...

And to prevent the opposite don't eat a whole box of cherries...my bad...

To clean blinds, use your brush attachment on the vaccuum. Brushes of the dust and sucks it up at the same time. I do the same with cob webs on the ceiling....

Do not wash your hair the day before (and the day of) you get your hair streaked/died. The natural oils in your hair will protect your scalp from the chemicals and also help the end result turn out even better.

[sher327]

those are some great tips!
For the ingrown hairs I agree, I use a facial scrub to exfoliate anywhere I tend to get them,it's mild enough not to cause irritation but does seem to help. Doing this before shaving lets say the bikini area,rinse then use your lather or cream and you also get a closer shave

Don't use chap stick unless you have chapped lips. Your lips can actually get addicted to the extra oil and stop[ producing their own. Then when you forget it, they are instantly dry prompting you to put it on! Endless cycle!! Same with eye wetting drops...

when blow drying hair to make it stright- put it in a bun until its damp- then comp it out. usea round brush on the undersside of your hair to comb with the dryer.

when your hair is greasy and you dont have time to wash it- put a tiny bit of baby powder in your hands and put it on the roots.

the more you touch greasy hair- the worse it gets.

when in a hurry to make dinner- try making a soup- all you need in chicken/beef broth- any kind of noodles and some vegitables- healthy and quick ( under 30 minS)

a huge way to get fit fast- go jogging for about a mile per day- do crunches, and most of all DONT MISS A DAY drink lots of water, and fruits- it also helps your appetite settle, and your not as hungry as often.

Tips i need:
how to prevent "extra' cuticles.
