Here are 4 smart ideas to make your life easier.

These come from Woman's World magazine.
  • First   a penny-pinching laundry secret. You don't have to pay a fortune for a good spot remover, just make your own! In a clean spray bottle, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup rubbing alcohol and 2 teaspoons dish soap. You can use this homemade mixture to pre-treat all those tough laundry stains.
  • If you don't have any thread around to fix a loose button, use dental floss! It's actually stronger than thread.
  • Another tip that'll make your life easier: To remove a stick-on band-aid painlessly, aim a hairdryer at it for a few seconds. This'll soften the adhesive and you'll be able to peel it right off.
And finally, if you want your onions to last longer: Take them out of the plastic bag you bought them in and leave them in a cool, dry place. The humidity that builds up in the fridge and inside of bags makes onions break down. By taking them out of the bag and out of the fridge, they'll stay crisp for up to 10 days.
