Tip #1
TO FRESHEN THE AIR:
Leave open boxes of baking soda in refrigerators, closets and bathrooms.
Saturate a cotton ball with pure vanilla; place on a saucer in refrigerator or car.
Set out white vinegar in open dishes to destroy odor such as tobacco smoke, fish or paint.
Sprinkle cinnamon on aluminum foil and place it in a hot oven. As the cinnamon heats, it will permeate the house.
Squeeze a few drops of fresh lemon juice into the dust bag of your vacuum cleaner before you start it up.
To deodorize a musty smelling book, put it in a browm paper bag with baking soda and let sit for approximately one week.
To prevent the smell when painting inside your home, add a few drops of vanilla extract to the paint when stirring. this will remove the unpleasant smell but won't affect your color.
Simplicity is the attempt to see clearly - to know what' s important and what matters most. It's taking stock of your life and stripping away the inessential. At the heart of simplicity is the process of self-examination and self-discovery -- deciding what you need to be happy. Simplicity is the age-old search for happiness. It is the art of living fully and being fully alive.
"The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not our circumstances." ~ Martha Washington |
