SHEETS.......After drying sheets, put both sheets and one pillowcase in the other pillow case. Fold neatly in a swaure.  Next time you change sheets, you just take the one pillow case and all the sheets and pillowcase are inside.  No need to look for matches.  Takes up less storage room too.

CLEAN YOUR GLASS SHOWER....  to clean the glass in your shower easily, apply lemon jiuce to the glass with a sponge.  Then take newspaper and wipe the lemon juice off the glass.  It will be clean and sparkle with no scrubbing.

REHEAT PIZZA....Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove.  Set heat to med-low and heat till warm.  This keeps the crust crispy.  No soggy micro pizza.  This was on the cooking channel and it really works.

EXPANDING FROSTING...........When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes.  You can double it in size.  You get to frost more cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar/calories per serving.

REHEATING REFRIGERATED BREAD.......To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water.  The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

NEWSPAPER WEEDS AWAY.......Start putting in your plants, working the nutrients in your soil.  Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants, overlapping as you go, and cover with mulch and forget about weeds.  Weeds will get through some gardening plastic. They will not get through wet newspapers.
