From  "LIFE'S TOO SHORT TO FOLD FITTED SHEETS" *

 "Tricks to Create the life you want without all the hard labor ~ and without compromising your style!"


  • Facial tissues with lotion make awesome dust cloths.
  • White vinegar will clean almost anything in a pinch.  Mix it with water, and keep it in a spray bottle under your sink.
  • Replace all of your abrasive, powdered cleaners with baking soda.  Works great on sinks, tile and grout.
  • Most deodorizers contain harmful chemicals.  Freshen up a room by putting a few drops of essential oil on a burning light bulb.
  • Aluminum foil will remove dirty buildup on the face of your iron.  Simply lay out a piece of foil, and iron it.  Sharpen your scissors by cutting through six to eight layers of saved scraps of foil; your scissors will be like new.
  • Shop with intent, not impulse. It is so easy to get carried away.  Things end up gathering dust and getting in the way.  Less stuff = a happier life.
  • The media bombards us with images...
  • "Life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated." ~ Confucius
