Sometimes you want to hang on to some of those plastic shopping bags instead of recycling them all. I know for myself I use a ton of them when I move to pack breakables. Well, to help keep them contained save your empty tissue boxes and paper towel tubes, stuff them full of plastic bags and then tuck them away until you need them! I've been doing this for several years now, and it's amazing how many bags you can store in a little space doing this!

Keep a few newspapers in your vehicle, then if you get stuck in the mud lay the newspapers under your rear tires for traction.

If you have wet shoes stuff them with newspaper. The newspaper will absorb the moisture as well as help maintain the shape of your shoes.

If you are hanging a picture add a little heat to your hook before hammering it in. It will go in a lot easier as well as reduce the risk of plaster cracking.

Listening to music is often very soothing, but did you know that actually singing can slow the neural impulses and calm as well? So get some good earplugs if you must and calm those stresses away!

Tired of your cutting board slipping away? Some cutting boards don't come with any kind of grip on the bottom, others it just wears away over time. Try putting either a wet paper towel under it for grip, or go to the dollar store and pick up a grippy placemat or shelf liner and use it under your cutting board. A slipping cutting board you will have no more!
