Am I Damaging My Porcelain Sinks?
Yeah, I think theyre supposed to have a shiny finish. You need to buy some coating for it at your local Home Depot or Lowes. Once you get the new shiny coating back on, limit your sink cleaner to the recommended products at the home stores (or use simple vinegar...
Stripping and Re-staining a Table?
I tend to go the route of buying good sandpaper. I just sand down the furniture to a smooth finish so the new stain has something to adhere to. It has always worked good for me (and I didnt use any chemical stripping agent). Right before you stain the piece...
Homemade Makeup Setting Spray?
Yikes! The only two natural things I know in that list are the water and aloe vera! Hmm, maybe I wont be able to come up with something after all.
Conditioning a Dry Leather Purse?
Vaseline works great! Just rub it on and use a dishtowel to wipe it off (Dont rub too hard though). It will soak into the purse nicely and your purse will be shiny, protected, and soft to the touch.
Mounting Photo Collages?

Trinket Bowl from a Vinyl Record
Ohhh, that sounds cute! Trouble is, I dont have old vinyl records anymore. I supposed you could get them at a Salvation Army kind of store. Great idea (for a musician, too)!
Selling Makeup to Groups and Teams?
I would recommend making flyers and have your kids (or neighborhood kids) pass them out to their cheerleader captain(s) and advisors. I would also contact the district and ask for the name of their cheerleading advisor(s) and try to meet up with them after...
Acne Remedies Causing More Acne?
I use Proactiv Solutions. The kit is $39.95. I use it sparingly and it lasts me a good 2 - 3 months. They have a Sensitive type, as well. I also have oily skin and I use apple cider vinegar as a facial toner. It really clears me up without drying me out. You...
Using Less Laundry Soap?
Another good alternative is to use baking soda (or half baking soda and half liquid soap)... I use it with liquid soap and it cuts down our liquid use. The baking soda really cleans the laundry, too (and removes stubborn stains). You can buy baking soda at...
